DHS should have been shut down years ago and other ineffective and redundant police/spy/counter terrorist agencys should also be cut or eliminated.
one of the reasons why we have so much problems apprehending terrorist stateside IS that there are too many agencys and departments.
instead of helping each other they sit on information, they discount the local PDs and sheriffs departments who have "real" info and continue to ignore information and tips gained by the help of other intelligence agencys abroad.
what is going on is the administration wants a reason to keep pouring billions of dollars into domestic spying. the administration doesn't want to be shown up by some small town PD or foreign agency.
the classic sign of a corrupt and incompetent agency is the "not invented here" syndrome. if they didn't make the lead --they look the other way every time.
the administrations domestic operations are so bad it looks like their trying to help alquaida and the terrorist jehadist. the exact opposite of what their being funded for!
what should we expect form an administration that uses the BATF to smuggle AKs to mexican drug cartels anyway?
if your on the other team the obama administration is the best thing ever --if your alquaida!

Single Six in 327 Magnum
Two Custom .327 Federal Ruger Single Six Revolvers From Bowen Classic Arms
by Jeff Quinn
November 30th, 2008
It has been right at a year since I reviewed the first handgun chambered for the .327 Federal cartridge. Ruger introduced the new cartridge to the world in their compact SP101 double action revolver. The SP101 is a tough little weapon, mostly encountered in the five-shot .357 Magnum version, but it wears a six-shot cylinder when chambered for the .327 Federal. While there was a lot of whats it for? conversation on the internet before the little .327 started shipping to dealers, the revolver has been well-accepted, and supply of .327 Federal ammunition still has yet to meet demand.
A few weeks after the SP101 review, I had the opportunity to also review the Freedom Arms Model 97 .32 H&R Magnum revolver that had been fitted with an extra cylinder chambered for the .327 Federal, along with a custom Single Six from Single Action Service. In each of those earlier reviews, I went in depth regarding the cartridge and handloading, and will not get into that again here, concentrating upon the two custom sixguns instead.
Hamilton Bowen is highly regarded among the elite true custom gunsmiths in the US, and is respected as the best of the best among many shooters who use his skills to build their finest revolvers. Hamilton Bowen builds highly useful works of art, as well as plain and rugged, but highly accurate hunting guns. These two Single Six revolvers shown here highlight Mr. Bowens skill at crafting elegant working guns that are also aesthetically pleasing, exceedingly accurate, and very useful hunting revolvers. When the .327 Federal was first introduced in the SP101, it was, and appropriately still is, marketed as a defensive handgun. However, when I first saw the little cartridge, I regarded it as everything that the .32 H&R Magnum should have been; a dandy little cartridge for small game and varmint hunting, akin to the .32-20 of a century ago, but with more power and better accuracy. There is no handgun better suited for this cartridge than the Ruger Single Six. In its factory .22 rimfire version, and also in the .32 H&R magnum Single Six, the cylinder is too short to house as a .327 Federal. A longer cylinder is needed, which seems like a natural to me, and to many others. However, Ruger has yet to introduce the .327 Federal into their Single Six, so it has been left to custom gunsmiths to do so. These two Ruger Single Six revolvers from Hamilton Bowen are as perfect as any Single Six that I have ever seen. Both are chambered for the .327 Federal cartridge and have custom cylinders of 1.4965 inches in length, which is almost one-tenth inch longer than the factory .32 H&R Magnum Single Six cylinder. The case heads are countersunk on the Bowen cylinders, and the cylinder almost fills the cylinder window in the frame entirely, which, in addition to accommodating the longer .327 Federal cartridge, looks a lot better as well. The custom Bowen cylinders are radiused at the front, commonly called a black powder chamfer, and the barrel/cylinder gaps are very tight. Both revolvers wear a target version of the Bowen Rough Country rear sight, and are fully adjustable. The Bowen Single Sixes wear steel XR3 Flattop grip frames and Bisley hammers. The hammers, frames, and loading gates have been case colored by Doug Turnbull. The rest of the steel is polished blue, and the grips are Ruger New Model Flattop grip panels. Both sixguns wear fitted oversize locking base pins. The hammer and trigger pins on one of the revolvers have been given a screw-look, and another added, to make the New Model frame resemble a three-screw Old Model Ruger or Colt Single Action frame. Interesting touch. That revolver wears a seven and one-half inch barrel, and should prove to be a dandy little varmint gun. The other sixgun of the pair is my personal favorite, and is one of the best-looking sixguns that I have ever held in my hands! Everything about that little revolver is, for lack of a better word, balanced. It just looks right, and handles as a sixgun should. This trim little revolver is fitted with a Smith & Wesson K22 barrel that has been bored and rifled to .32 caliber by Delta Gun Shop. The K22 barrel wears a full-length rib, and measures 4.473 inches in length. I have never seen a more beautiful, perfectly executed Single Six. At the bottom of the grip frame is a Bowen lanyard ring, adding to both the looks and practicality of this little sixgun.
Shooting the Bowen Classic Arms Single Sixes was a delight. Both proved to be exceedingly accurate in offhand shooting at targets of several varieties, including paper, swinging steel, and rocks, sticks and stumps. I clamped the long-barreled sixgun into my Ransom Master Rest for accuracy testing, and it exhibited target grade accuracy with the American Eagle factory loads, grouping into less than one inch at twenty-five yards, every time, all day long. The accuracy of the Federal hollowpoints was excellent as well, but not hardly as accurate as the American Eagle ammo. I did not place the short-barreled Single Six into the Ransom Rest, as to do so I would have had to remove the roll pin that holds the lanyard ring and swivel in place. I was not willing to risk scratching this little sixgun removing that pin, as the gun does not belong to me. However, from informal plinking and shooting over an improvised rest, the short-barreled sixgun seems to be just as accurate as its brother. Shooting the two factory loads that I had on hand, the American Eagle 100 grain softpoint clocked 1667 feet-per-second (fps) from the seven and one-half inch gun, and 1574 fps from the shorter gun. The Federal Hydra-Shock 85 grain load clocked 1600 fps and 1574, from the long and short barrels, respectively. All chronograph readings were taken at an elevation of approximately six hundred feet, with an air temperature of forty-five degrees Fahrenheit. The chronograph was set at ten feet from the muzzle. Both revolvers have honed actions, and the trigger pulls on the long and short Bowen Single Sixes measured two pounds, eight ounces and two pounds, two ounces, respectively. Being built on the Single Six frames, these two revolvers are perfectly sized to the .327 federal cartridge, and either would carry well in the field. With all-steel construction, the longer revolver weighs in at thirty-seven ounces, and the shorter gun is three ounces lighter. While both are handy enough for carrying afield, the shorter of the pair could very well be the ideal trail gun to carry in country where large bears are not a concern. With its flat-shooting, efficient cartridge, this handgun is perfectly sized for packing while having ample power for harvesting small game, and taking vermin and predators at a considerable distance.
If you have a hankering for a Single Six chambered for the .327 Federal cartridge, Hamilton Bowen can build for you a revolver just like one of these, or with whatever modifications you like. I think that with these two, Hamilton got it right. The combination of the XR3 grip with the Bisley hammer, make the guns easy to handle, and balance well. The Rough Country sights are easy to see, and easy to adjust to suit your load and shooting style. The Turnbull case colors are beautifully executed, and that ribbed K22 barrel and lanyard ring add a real touch of class to that short-barreled sixgun.
Bowen does it right, and I highly recommend his work.

Re: Single Six in 327 Magnum
Level 3 loads in 32-20 in a handgun will push 90gr around 1790 fps and 100gr in the 1735 fps at lower cup readings then the 327 . The factory 32-20 is loaded like the 45LC for weak guns and a handload can blow it in the weeds in a modern gun . Lee Martin's 32MM is a super cartridge to jump up and down about . Ruger , colt and clones are cheaper that a custom gun in 32-20 . The bottom of the page of the paste will give you some load data . If I was to order a custom gun the 32mm or 32-20 my choice .

Re: Single Six in 327 Magnum
Custom is out of my price range but if Ruger would make a SS stainless in that caliber I thing it would be a fun gun for woods carry. One in that caliber will also fire 32 H&R and 32 S&W so it would go from being snappy to mild. Squirrel hunting to deer close in. Lets face it just another excuse to buy another gun.

Passengers on the South Korea ferry that capsized were told to stay where they were before the ship sank, several survivors said, as it emerged schoolchildren trapped on board sent heart-breaking text messages to their parents as they realised what was happening.
Teams of divers worked through the night to search for the 290 people who remained unaccounted for after the MV Sewol sank off the south-western coast of South Korea. Some 325 school children were among the 475 people on board the vessel.
"Mom, this might be my last chance to tell you I love you," one youth said in a text message, according to the Los Angeles Times. His mother replied, but did not get an answer. Another pupil texted his father to say "Dad, I can't walk out because the ship is tilted too much, and I don't see anyone in the corridor", according to South Korea's YTN news channel.
And an 18-year-old girl reportedly sent a message to her father saying: "Don't worry too much dad, I am wearing a life vest and with my friends. I am inside. Still in the hallway." He replied asking whether she should go outside, but she said: "No dad, I can't go outside. There are many kids in the hallway, and it is tilted too high."
Several survivors said passengers were told to remain where they were after the ferry struck the reef. Initially it did not appear the vessel was in immediate danger of sinking.
Cha Eun-ok, who was on the deck taking photographs at the time, said an "on-board announcement told people to stay put... people who stayed are trapped".
And a 57-year-old man, named as Yoo, told Yonhap News: "A broadcast said: 'Stay where you are.' But I couldn't because the water level was rising. I wore the safety jacket and came out. If they told us to evacuate immediately, it would have been better."
Koo Bon-hee, a 36-year-old businessman, said he and other passengers had waited for 30 minutes as the ferry filled with water and listed to one side, before floating to an exit and swimming to a fishing boat.
"The rescue wasn't done well. We were wearing life jackets. We had time," Mr Koo said from his hospital bed. "If people had jumped into the water... they could have been rescued. But we were told not to go out."
Officials said 174 people had been rescued, after initially reporting a much higher figure. Six people were confirmed dead and 55 were injured.
A sign of the difficulty of the search was that only four bodies had been recovered by nightfall - all picked up from the water, not the ship. The currents around the ferry impeded the search and, by early Wednesday, rescuers still were not able to get inside to see what had happened.
The school children and 15 teachers had boarded the vessel on Tuesday night at the west coast port of Incheon and slept on board. The ship was two hours away from its destination, the tourist island of Jeju. The children were due to spend a three-day holiday there.
Many of those rescued were children who had been ordered to line up and get into waiting boats. Others were told by the captain - believed to be among the survivors - to put on life jackets and jump into the sea.
Officials said that some of the missing may have stayed alive in air pockets in the submerged vessel as parents and relatives gathered in reception centres, schools and government buildings demanding answers and clutching at any shred of hope.

Disney Magic: Disney Magic Cruise Review by annef68
Overall Member Rating
Disney Magic
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
By 1:30 p.m. our staterooms were ready. We were in Stateroom 6528 which is right by the forward elevators. We were a little concerned about the noise, but that was not an issue. We were very happy with the choice and would pick this room again.
First night we had dinner at Carioca's and I was very More happy with the food there. Food at Cabana's was very good as well. Huge selection for breakfast and lunch, including peel and eat shrimp and crab claws everyday. A little surprise, one of the outdoor venues had gyros every day for lunch and they were delicious! Dinner at Luminaires and Animator's Palate were also very good.
Overall I was not overly impressed with the After Hours area. Not much of a night scene for the adults. A piano bar where she sang Disney songs, Phantoms was kind of weak for a dance club. O'Gills was nice, but made the worst Martini I have ever had!!!
Adult pool area was nice. Castaway Cay was wonderful! Had a great day, although the waterslide was broken. Had a wonderful lunch over at the Adult only side. Also enjoyed a little time on the beach over there. Stayed on the ship in Nassau as we've been there numerous times before. Enjoyed the day on the ship relaxing.
Tried out the Aqua Dunk....OMG....terrifying, but fun! Much better than then Aqua Duck.
Disembarkation was a breeze. Went to Animator's Palate for breakfast around 8:00 am and was off the ship and in our car by 9:30 am.
Nice thing about the Magic was, although it was a full ship, there was far less people to contend with at Castaway Cay which made it much easier getting on and off the ship and much easier to find lounge chairs. The dining rooms seemed to be much louder than the Dream and, as previously mentioned, after hours clubs on the Dream were nicer.
Overall, another great Disney Cruise. I would do another one. Disney does a great job, even if you don't have little ones, which we do not. Less

Our shelter has an Adoption Application, and a standard adoption fee of $75 cats/$85 for some dogs - cash or check only. This fee INCLUDES a one-year rabies vaccination, spay/neuter surgery, and also includes a microchip and registration. SUCH A DEAL! Adoptions may be done through one of our adoption-partner agencies, including League City Animal Shelter, and Friends of League City Animal Shelter. Dogs and cats old enough for surgery can remain at the Shelter until sterilized, or may already be done. All pets not yet sterilized, will be just microchipped, and adopted out under an Adoption Contract. You still pay the $75/$85 fee, because you pre-pay us for the spay-neuter surgery and rabies shot. You may bring them back to us, to be neutered and vacc'd for rabies, within 30 days of adoption, or by the date set in your contract. You may also take them elsewhere for this, at your own expense. Proof of this being done MUST be supplied to the Webster Shelter, by the date set in your contract. This is REQUIRED by State law, so the City authorities enforce this with citations if you do not comply.
PLEASE NOTE: The City budget DOES NOT COVER VET EXAMS OR TREATMENT for these animals. We advise that each adopted animal get a complete Veterinary exam (including fecal), within about a week of adoption.
PLEASE NOTE: Our Shelter DOES NOT SHIP ANIMALS. You must come IN PERSON to sign for, adopt, and take home your new pet.
Please help keep the homeless pet population down, and reduce behavior problems in your pets. Have all your pets spayed and neutered. Here is information on nearby DISCOUNT SPAY-NEUTER locations: Long Drive Dog & Cat Hospital, 713-643-0633 http://www.longdrivedogcat.com; Animal Alliance Clinic, http://www.animalalliancetx.org; SNAP Pasadena 713-343-1700 http://www.snapus.org/pasadena; and Houston Humane Society, http://www.houstonhumane.org (click on Clinic).
The discount spay-neuter locations above, ALSO offer DISCOUNT HEARTWORM TREATMENT. If any dog you have adopted from ANYWHERE turns out to be heartworm-positive, these clinics will treat heartworms for a few hundred dollars, vs. hundreds more at most private Vets.

Columbia police respond to robbery at Passion's store
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Columbia police responded to a robbery at Passion's around 8 p.m. Tuesday at 1108 Business Loop 70 East.
An employee says he saw the suspect walk into the store and appear to browse merchandise before he walked up to the cash register and demanded money.

When I bought my Mustang in October 2004 I decided to get a maintenance contract that would cover all of my oil changes,tire rotations,coolant flush and transmission service for 3 years or 36,000 miles whichever came first.That way I just pull up to the service dept. hand them my maintenance contract and they do the work plain and simple.NOT SO FAST!!! Declined oil change and tire rotation last month because it wasn't 6 months yet.So I called them up and speak to a customer rep and ask when can I go and have this taken care of? She said anytime this month but then said,"Wait no the next time would be this October because you did the oil changes early(based on time not mileage since I don't drive much).Long story short I said I bought the contract so I wouldn't have to pay and was told that I was expected to pay inbetween the covered oil changes,etc.
So I cancelled the maintenance contract since it wasn't what it was suppose to end up being.

Partnering with clients to provide on-demand contract lawyers, giving in-house legal teams the confidence to be agile.
Providing legal services to the insurance industry is about more than just giving the best advice. It requires deep industry understanding, an appreciation of issues and challenges facing insurers and the ability to adapt to changing client needs.
MinterEllison's insurance practice is one of the largest in Australia and truly national. Our knowledge of the insurance industry is second to none and it enables us to tailor advice that focuses on the client and their business objectives. MinterEllison has been awarded 'Insurance Law Firm of the Year' at the Asia-Pacific Banking & Finance annual Insurance Awards each year from 2012 – 2016.
We are the only top tier law firm in Australia to maintain a comprehensive 'front end' practice (policy wording/drafting and advice, corporate advisory, reinsurance, agency agreements) and 'back end' claims practice (including professional indemnity, D&O, product liability, asbestos, life, marine, aviation, self insureds, government and industrial special risks). We also have significant expertise defending litigation (including class actions) on complex insurance issues.
We have strong professional links with peak industry bodies and consistently support associations through attendance, presentations, sponsorship and involvement in working groups. Our industry involvement assists us to advise clients effectively on the impact of legislative and regulatory changes.
Advised the New South Wales Government (NSW Treasury) on the refinancing of Port Botany and Port Kembla in NSW. The project was unique, involving the contemporaneous refinancing and long term lease of two major Australian ports. Our role included extensive legal analysis of the existing assets and businesses and the regulatory landscape; recommending a transaction structure; drafting special transaction legislation; asset restructuring; preparing extensive interrelated transaction documents; tender process and negotiations; and implementation under legal project management. The project was complex and very significant for NSW, with the transaction widely considered to establish a new benchmark in transaction preparation and execution.
Acted for Insurance Australia Group Limited (IAG) on the $1.85 billion acquisition of the Australian and New Zealand insurance underwriting businesses of Wesfarmers Limited, the number 1 and number 5 general insurers in Australia respectively. ACCC approval has been granted after close analysis but without the ACCC releasing a Statement of Issues.
Acting for IT consultants engaged to project manage the implementation of a trading exchange against allegations of misleading or deceptive conduct and breach of contract. The plaintiff alleges that by reason of our client's breaches, it has incurred substantial extra costs and has been delayed in obtaining a market licence from ASIC, causing it to suffer significant financial losses. The matter is particularly high profile as it affects a potential new operator of a derivatives exchange in Australia.
Acted in establishing MLC's 'Best Doctors Program', a program designed to give insurers and their families access to a 'second opinion' from the world's leading medical experts. Strategically important for MLC and a key differentiator for the company, the program (which won an industry award for innovation) has been extended to other areas of MLC's business because of its success. Our role included clearing the various legal hurdles, given the program needed to comply with a plethora of legislation, including the Private Health Insurance Act, Life Insurance Act, superannuation legislation and Trade Practices Act. We also drafted and novated the contract between MLC and the international provider.
Acting for a publicly listed general insurance company in defending a A$33m claim against a policyholder arising from alleged loss of existing rights of use for a small island off the coast of NSW.
Acting for Wesfarmers Insurance Group on its launch of KMART Tyre & Auto Services Insurance. Our work involved drafting and finalising all marketing and legal documents associated with the launch.
Acting for an insurer of a major financial institution and its pool of excess layer re-insurers, on insurance issues arising from claims lodged against the financial institution by 3000+ New Zealand investors whose investments were allegedly affected by the GFC. This has involved analysis of complex policy interpretation issues.
Acted for an insurance broker in a High Court Appeal. When the client defaulted on the loan, the funder sued the client's insurance broker for not disclosing that there was inadequate security for the loan. The issues in dispute were whether there was a misrepresentation (and whether an ambiguous statement can be misleading) and if so whether there was reliance. The High Court unanimously upheld our appeal.
Advised on claims in the marine area including acting for the joint venture between SingTel Optus and Southern Cross against owners of a cargo ship responsible for $6m damage to a submarine cable, including the arrest of the ship.

What might have been. It's a little-known fact that the new House of Representatives Speaker
The mind boggles as to what would have happened had the result gone the other way. Would Slipper have becoming a mining magnate? Could Palmer have risen through the political ranks and become Speaker?
Palmer ruled out the latter when we spoke to him. "I much prefer speaking, rather than being the Speaker, to be honest," the always voluble billionaire told us.
Both individuals reminisced about the preselection battle, eagerly telling tales about those times of fighting for the hearts and minds in what was then 42 local branches of National Party members. "I remember beating Peter in 15 ballots, but I lost the last one," Palmer said. "I then had some delegates come to me apologising and saying they only voted for Peter because they felt sorry for him! Oh well, I've come out a bit better and have probably done more for the country than Peter did anyway."
Slipper said he had plenty of respect for Palmer, even if the billionaire tried getting a lot of mileage from saying he was from the working-class Brisbane suburb of Lawnton. "I remember the matron of one branch telling him, 'That was a great speech and you'll be a real asset to the party when you grow up'," Slipper told us. "And then years later I went to see Senator
"I told her I'd once beaten him in a preselection and she asked if I could have been a billionaire if I'd lost. I said no, so she said there was no need to be depressed. That made me feel better." Still, what might have been . . .

1. I've been vascillating between five or six books to suggest for next month's book club and have finally decided on three (which is good, since book club is tonight).
Does this mean I'm not over coming-of-age stories or that coming-of-age stories naturally make for good literature? I'm inclined to think the latter. I'm excited to see which one gets selected.
2. I saw another little bunny on my way to work. I wouldn't have photographed it (because honestly, how many photos of tiny bunnies do I need?) except that it let me get so close.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
No. 5 Pitt 74, No. 3 Syracuse 66
January 17, 2011, at Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Quoting Head Coach Jamie Dixon
Opening Statement:
"I'm really exciting for our guys and how they played. Syracuse is a very good team and its numbers speak for itself. We have great respect for them and we know we beat a very good team tonight. We got off to a great start but we knew Syracuse wasn't going to quit or shut down so it was the game we expected. I was excited about how we executed against the zone. We did hit a little lull but we made some adjustments and found a way to finish it off. Our defending was key and overall I thought we defended very well. We had a few too many turnovers, but again Syracuse is a very good team with very good players. I'm very proud of our guys and how we played as a group."
On the 19-0 start:
"Things like this happen from time to time but Syracuse is a very good team so we knew it wouldn't continue and that they'd make a run. Obviously we wouldn't have liked to give up that lead but Syracuse made some good shots, which was expected. They missed some open shots during the stretch, but so did we. There were two really good teams out there and I didn't think anyone thought we would pull away and shut them down for 40 minutes."
On playing against the 2-3 zone:
"We did a really good job of attacking. We knew Seton Hall would play some 2-3 zone against us so really we had a week to practice against the zone. I thought we became a little more passive as the game went on, but in the second half we attacked it better and got some more penetration. We didn't want to settle for jump shots against the zone, their opponent's 3-point shooting percentage is ridiculously low. We knew we had to get interior touches and baskets. You have to break a zone with a team, not just one man, and we did that for the most part."
On Gilbert Brown:
"Even though he doesn't always get assists for some of his passes, he was key on getting the ball inside. His numbers are far better than what he was doing in the past. Missing time to injury hurt him but now he's making up for it. He just made a lot of good passes tonight and he's doing some really good things. He's also unselfish, even when we're up big he's not hunting for a shot and he's letting things come to him."
On Nasir Robinson:
"He's really effective when he waits and lets his teammates get him the shots."
On Brad Wanamaker:
"He did a great job as always, and had six assists that really stood out. He's also gotten so much better defensively for us."
On the technical foul called against him:
"I raised my arms, but I didn't say anything. I apologized to the team afterword. I haven't gotten a technical foul in at least a couple years, so I guess sometimes you have to get one. We did make some shots afterword, so I wish I could say I planned it that way. They are good officials, but I will say that I didn't say anything."
On the teams start so far:
"We still have a long way to go. It's only January 17 so it's early. We need to be a team that keeps improving. We have improved dramatically over just two months time and our seniors have done some incredible work to improve themselves. When you see your seniors improve like this then it gives inspiration to all your players."
On the crowd:
"We always have great crowds and I can't thank our supporters enough. We came out all fired up with our new Nike uniforms and it was great for the fans. We have had times where we tell people not to come to the game because of snow and we still get about 9,000 fans, and we had a game at the same time as the Steelers and we still get 10,000 fans. You can't sell anymore tickets because it's all sold out, and it's just a great sports town."
On Coach Jim Boeheim:
"He's a hall-of-fame coach who has won more games than I can even think about. He's done so much for USA basketball, NABC, coaches vs. cancer, etc. He's just a guy who I have great respect for. I also know him as a great friend because the day I got here 12 years ago he's been very supportive and friendly to us. His wins speak for themselves. His team is 18-1 and the program is really good. They are going to win a lot of games this year and we caught them on a day without one of their best players tonight."
Quoting Pitt's Brad Wanamaker:
On starting off with a 19-0 run:
"It was the first time in my career that we got off to a start like that. It was great because we had the fans into it. Our adrenaline was pumping. Syracuse is a great team- they made their run, That's what basketball is- a game of runs. We made our first run- they made theirs, but we stuck it out."
On being so effective against the zone:
"(We're so effective) with guys inside like Gary McGhee and Nasir Robinson, who can make plays for other people. We just get it to them and let them make the plays for us."
On having Gary and Nasir being successful in the paint:
"Any time they play well is a plus for our team. They are both great players for this program and for us to be good, we need our big men to contribute on the offensive end. That's what they've been doing lately and that's why we've been winning."
On beating Syracuse 5 times in a row and success in this matchup:
"It's just us taking their zone. We always have somebody down low and our big men that can make plays for other people. Nasir and Gary were the best at doing that today. We got it to them, let them go, and we fed off of them."
Quoting Pitt's Nasir Robinson
On beating the zone in the middle:
"Coach preached to me all week preparing for this game this game to get catches in the middle so that we could work out of that so that we could find our perimeter shooters, Ashton Gibbs, Brad Wanamaker and Gilbert Brown and that's what I did."
On making their way into the paint to beat the zone:
"It was good. The key thing in zones is getting inside touches. It opened up a lot because you suck the defenders in and then the outside opens up. It was good for us."
On his fast start and having the first 9 points:
"I just was relaxed. My teammates found me and I just finished the plays. Once I got a good rhythm, I just kept rolling."
Quoting Pitt's Gilbert Brown
On keeping the lead even when Syracuse came back:
"I think that is just one of the most important things about this team. Even through adversity and hard times, we stick together and push through. Like Brad said, "this is a game of runs" and we were able to withstand it and make some good defensive stops and convert on the offensive end."
On Talib Zanna block as a momentum changer:
"Talib came in and played great defensively. He really helped us and that one play right there just sparked us. It lit a match under us and we really caught fire on the offensive end and we shut down. It really changed the momentum of the game."
On the first place showdown and making a statement tonight:
"Since the Tennessee game, we felt what it was like to go down and take a loss at home in Pittsburgh. We've really been on a mission to just prove to everybody and ourselves what type of team we are and what we're capable of. I think since then our practices have been more intense and we've just been going out there and focusing. And it really shows out there on the court."
On people forgetting about them as a top contender:
"I don't necessarily think that they forgot about us. They may have doubted us a little bit. Just looking at where Tennessee was at the time and where they are now, they probably look at us as a different team- not capable of making a strong run and being a top 5 team, but I think we're capable of that. We have all the players and everybody is a valuable asset on this team, and you saw that tonight."
On his block:
"I saw it in his eyes. I knew he was going to try to do it, so I decided to meet him at the rim and I knew I was going to take care of business"
On the record crowd and atmosphere:
"It was crazy. When we made that first run that was the loudest the Pete has ever been since I've been here. And for all of you that know, I've been here a long time. It was just crazy. Every time we made a big run or had a big stop, the crowd was right there behind us. They truly are our 6th man. It was big for us. I think having a crowd like the Zoo really helps us out a lot and there is a reason why we're so tough to play at home."
Quoting Syracuse Head Coach Jim Boeheim
Opening Statement:
"Obviously we got off to a horrible start, while Pittsburgh got off to a great start. We just did not do anything well in the beginning. We regrouped; I thought we played really well the rest of the first half once we got over that start. We made as good a comeback as you're probably going to make. The second half I thought defensively, we just didn't do a good job. We let too much penetration get in there and they took advantage of that. Pitt is a tremendous basketball team. To me, it is probably one of the best, if not the best teams we've played. They have a lot of weapons – great senior leadership, and strong juniors. When you start three seniors and two juniors, that's a lot of experience and good players. They just got off to a great, great start. We battled back, but it's a long way to battle back. We just didn't have enough after that."
On C.J. Fair and James Southerland:
"I thought C.J. Fair played well. James Southerland just disappeared – he has to be more active. He can't play 37 minutes and just get one rebound. Our centers got off to a horrendous start. Part of the 7 points they scored right off the bat was because of the centers. Our guys are young. They just weren't ready tonight. The rebounding is very disappointing, our guards did nothing; they had the worst defensive game they had all year. They didn't do a good job at all defending our zone. They just weren't good at all."
On not having Kris Joseph:
"You just have to play with what you have. There's nothing you can do about that. Injuries happen and you just have to go out and play. He's a big part of our team and was certainly missed tonight."
On Pitt's overall effectiveness as a team:
"I think they have a good team overall – top to bottom. Their past teams these last few years were very good teams. I think this team shoots better, and more consistently. Travon Woodall stepped up and made a big shot here just like he did at Providence. Ashton Gibbs, Gilbert Brown and Brad Wanamaker can shoot the ball. They're still tough defensively and are rebounding the basketball as good as they have been. I just think they have a really good team. To me, they've had good teams but this is a really good team."
On making a comeback in the first half:
"As a coach, you never think about that. People sit at home and you (members of the media) think about those things. We don't think about those things – we think about making a good play and another one and another one. If you're going to get behind by 19 it's better to do it early."
On Kris Joseph's condition for Saturday's game against Villanova:
"We'll see when we get back."

This year's October surprise was the massive hurricane and destruction of the East Coast. When it comes down to the basic issues of life, political warfare fades fast. The display of cooperation by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and President Obama illustrates what should happen in everyday life, especially in our government. It has been reported that Mitt Romney only contacted Republican governors following the storm. Yet Christie, a Republican, and President Obama, a Democrat, found common ground to alleviate some of the suffering of New Jersey citizens. I realize I'm an optimist, but perhaps the folks in Washington can get along now without a massive disaster. Hope lives eternal.
-- Eric David, Long Beach
Enough is enoughThe extortionists are at it again. When the buffoons in Sacramento run out of money, they use schools and children as ransom. It's the same old song every election. They use taxpayers as their piggy bank instead of being fiscally responsible. Let's not be led like lemmings to the sea this time. Enough is enough. Vote no on Proposition 30 and yes on Proposition 32 and turn down any proposition that smells like a tax hike. Make the legislators earn their large salaries instead of stealing from us.
-- Leo Mitchell, Long Beach
What Romney will take awayI simply cannot understand how any thinking, working person can vote for Mitt Romney. He will strip us of what is left of our civil rights. And when he said he would drop the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- well, that says it all. I will be voting for President Obama. As I get older, I'm getting more radical because I have enjoyed so much and would not want that taken away. Romney would take us backwards. I'm all for women's rights and don't want to see that taken away.
-- Leo Bertucelli, Sherman Oaks
Predicting the winnerMitt Romney will win by a landslide, 54-46, with over 300 electoral college votes. The only close race Barack Obama will be in is with Jimmy Carter for worst president. We made this prediction over 100 days ago based on the following criteria: The black vote in 2008 was 96 percent for Obama, but it will be in the mid 80s because of the apathy and disillusionment of many voters who will stay home. The youth who were enamored with Obama have now found themselves sitting in their parents' homes wondering where the jobs are. The Jewish vote will drop from 78 percent to 60 percent now that these voters realize Obama does not have the Israelis' backs; simply look at the snubs Obama gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Four Americans were murdered in Benghazi, Libya, and this administration said nothing but lies and coverups. The American people are tired of the Chicago-style politics of corruption, cronyism and coverups. Obama is likable but in over his head. The American voter is finally waking up.
-- Lee and Rusty Willoughby, Canyon Country
A Latino LincolnRe "Endorsements roundup" (Oct. 28):
For the past nine years, Tony Cardenas' City Council district has had to settle. We don't want to settle again for another 10 or 15 years. The 29th Congressional District deserves better. Just because Cardenas has been level-headed doesn't mean we have to settle and send him to the House of Representatives. Recently the community tried to put on a holiday event, and the staff from the 6th Council District did very little to help, so it was canceled. Is this the kind of congressman we want in Washington? The newspaper was wrong in their endorsement. I'm still waiting for my Latino Abraham Lincoln. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer.
-- Candido Marez, Northridge
Support Measure EMeasure E invests in our college to ensure that El Camino College will continue to provide local students with high-quality education and the job training they need. With the cost of the University of California and Cal State University systems increasing, students are relying more than ever on El Camino College. Measure E updates outdated academic facilities and technology to help South Bay students transfer to four-year universities and prepare us for the jobs of the 21st century. I already benefit from the construction going on at El Camino. New classrooms with document projectors, air conditioning and new desks are improvements that make El Camino College seem like a big university. Seeing the new buildings gives me a sense of hope for the future. Now is the time to take action to help the students of today and many generations to come. Please join students, faculty, college staff and community leaders in supporting Measure E.
-- Brooke Matson, Torrance
The letter writer is president of El Camino College's Associated Students Organization.
The mayor's photo opRe "Classic day for horse racing fans" (Nov. 4):
Most people probably missed our photo-op Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa suffering from foot-in-mouth disease. Upstaging Arcadia Mayor Bob Harbicht in the winner's circle following the Breeder's Cup Ladies' Classic at Santa Anita, and presenting the trophy to the connections of winner Royal Delta, he gushed about the "come-from-behind win." The gallant mare was first out of the gate and led the field at every mark reported in the results. Unfortunately, NBC Sports chose to air the races only on their premium channel, and if not for the Breeders' Cup website, I would have missed it also.
-- Diane Racey, Glendale
Tired of state of the economyRe "Venom in the letters column" (Letters, Oct. 29):
For some odd reason, the newspaper prints letters by Ron Lowe -- the latest where he states that citizens who fit into certain categories should seek counseling immediately if they vote for Mitt Romney. He also claims that those who do not share his ultra-liberal ideas are racist. Lowe should realize that Americans changing their choice from President Obama to Romney are doing so because they are tired of the state of our economy; tired of the Obama administration's false promises; and frankly, Mr. Lowe, they are tired of individuals like you.
-- Bob Kircher, Rancho Palos Verdes
Don't be a hypocriteRe "Venom in the letters column" (Letters, Oct. 29):
I couldn't agree with Ron Lowe more. I know quite a few of the kinds of people he mentioned who will be voting for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. But he forgot to mention those in the labor unions. I know a few of them who have benefited from Democrat policies on many levels, who plan on voting for the Republican ticket, which would take their jobs and benefits away in a heartbeat. If you are going to vote for Romney and Ryan, at least be true to yourself. Don't be a hypocrite and do not benefit from the programs they intend to destroy or wipe out altogether.
-- Lore Barhanovic, San Pedro

So What Do I Eat!?
When it comes to healthy eating, an ounce of preparation can help shed a pound of fat, not to mention keep you energized and feeling great all day long. Eating for optimal health should include lots of variety, color, and flavors. The less you have to open a package or pop a top to get to your food, the better! Always remember a little bit of the real food goes a long way, so instead of trying to save calories by buying the "free" or "light" version of a food, eat the real food and feel satisfied for longer! An example of this would be enjoying a slice of Ezekiel bread, which is a sprouted, whole grain bread full of fiber and lots of intact nutrients, instead of a low carb Arnold Sandwich Thin which has been stripped of most of its nutritious components.
Instead of being concerned about calories or counting what you eat, focus in on making sure you include moderate portions of each of the following important food categories several times each day:
|1. Protein:
3. Carbs
