Crack of the Bat: The Next Big Deal
: : Crack The Bat
Patrick Ebert
Friday, March 19, 2010
Quite often one player can define any given draft year. Last year we followed the exploits of Stephen Strasburg, whose success has carried into this spring as one of the bigger stories in Major League Baseball out of the Washington Nationals spring training camp. With the ability to throw his fastball consistently in the mid-to-upper 90s, to go along with a killer breaking ball and impressive command, he has been the most hyped (and so far deservedly so) draft prospect ever.
This year we're following an equally interesting story in Bryce Harper.
Harper's story is unprecedented as a 17-year-old who should be a junior in high school, but currently is playing for the College of Southern Nevada. There is more skepticism about his game and eventual ceiling than what surrounded Strasburg, but nevertheless, Harper remains the top prospect available for this year's draft.
Following in the footsteps of those two players will be no easy task, at least from a media and interest standpoint, but fans of teams that could pick at or near the top of the 2011 draft should prepare themselves for the next player who is poised to receive a considerable amount of attention and hype between now and next year.
That player is Rice third baseman Anthony Rendon.
Rendon is coming off a very successful freshman campaign in which he was named the national freshman of the year by numerous publications. And he's picked up where he left off, and then some, this season.
Scouts who have seen Rendon rave about his hitting ability, with a great swing, bat speed and the ability to master the strike zone. While you can never take statistics posted by amateur players too seriously, a quick glance of Rendon's leads you to believe he is clearly dominating his competition.
That comes down to walks and home runs.
Rendon is leading the nation in walks with 29 and has slugged seven home runs. Ten of those walks and four of those home runs came last week, in which four of his games were played against a Cal team that boasts some pretty good pitching. He recently added another pair of bases on balls and a home run in his most recent start, a mid-week game against the Texas Longhorns.
Basically, when he gets a pitch to hit, he crushes it, and when he doesn't, he doesn't swing at it. He's getting on base at better than a 60 percent clip, and he has struck out only six times in 18 games.
His freshman year was very comparable to another college star, former Vanderbilt Commodore Pedro Alvarez, the second overall pick of the 2008 draft.
Rendon hit .388/.461/.702 in 242 at-bats last season, with 14 doubles, 20 home runs, 72 RBI and 170 total bases. He walked 31 times versus 23 strikeouts and committed 12 errors at the hot corner.
Alvarez hit .329/.456/.675 in 240 at-bats in 2006, his freshman year, with 15 doubles, 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 162 total bases. He walked 57 times versus 64 strikeouts and committed 16 errors at third.
Outside of the offensive numbers the two are capable of posting, that is pretty much where the comparison ends for the two players.
Rendon, a right-handed hitter, has a modest build, listed at 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, as compared to the 6-foot-3, 230-pound plus Alvarez, a left-handed hitter. Rendon also profiles to play third base at a Gold Glove level, as some have even suggested he could play second base given his quickness and natural athleticism. Alvarez's size, especially if he continues to add weight to his large frame, may cause him to slide across the diamond to first base in the next few years.
None of this is meant to take anything away from Alvarez, who is one of the top prospects in the game and a cornerstone-type of talent the Pittsburgh Pirates can build around. However, it does illustrate just how good of a hitter and overall player Anthony Rendon could be at the next level.
Of course there is a lot of baseball left to be played not only this year (he will once again be in the national spotlight this weekend as Rice travels to San Diego to face prominent draft-eligible pitching prospects Sammy Solis and Kyle Blair), but next year as well. As it stands right now, Rendon is my pick to become the next big thing when it comes to following draft-eligible prospects over the next 12 to 15 months.
Competition for the Top Spot
UCLA's Gerrit Cole and Texas' Taylor Jungmann would likely take offense to this proclamation, as they too are very talented sophomores who are off to very good starts this year.
Coming off of a dominating 17-strikeout performance over Iowa, Jungmann leads the nation in strikeouts with 43. Just behind him is Cole, tied for second with 41. Cole is also among the leaders in opponent's batting average at .136, as few players can dominate a game with their fastball alone like he can.
Most impressive for Cole this season is how drastically improved his control has been. In more than 25 innings of work he has issued only four walks, after he walked nearly a batter every-other inning a year ago.
Jungmann has given up only three earned runs this year in 29 innings, leading to an ERA (0.93) below 1.00. Command hasn't been an issue for him so far during his college career, as he was equally impressive a year ago as a freshman playing off of his fastball-slider one-two punch.
Both Cole and Jungmann serve as the Friday aces for their respective teams. Both UCLA (currently ranked fifth in the country by Perfect Game) and Texas (sixth), boast arguably the two most dominating pitching staffs in the nation, currently ranked second and third in the nation, respectively, in team ERA.
In a previous column, I detailed that the 2011 draft will be strong in college pitching. The presence of these three players in particular from the college level could make next year's draft not only strong at the top, but one of the stronger collections of talents overall in recent years.

I've seen a number of posts on this, and it seems that there is no clear reason. I regret that I am about to add to that confusion.
I have a 2009 Jetta TDI with 140k miles. Love the car.
For about a year now, I have been getting a warning messages about once a week, "Engine Fault Workshop".. Sometimes, the grow plug "spring" would also light.
After a few minutes, the error would go away. This did not appear to effect performance of the car in anyway (That I could tell).
On a couple of occasions, the car logged a softcode suggesting a problem with the turbo charger position sensor. This was replaced as a result.
A few months ago, the right head light of the car stopped working (both upper and lower and turn signals). After two hours at the dealer, it was discovered the fuse blocked needed to be replaced.
Seems the fuseblock had corrosion on it that caused at least one of the fuses to melt the plastic of the fuse block (the corrosion increased resistance but not amperage so the fuse did not blow).
After replacing the fuse block, to my surprise, I have not had this error occur again.
So, if you found this from a Google search (or similar), take a look at your fuse block and make sure everything is making a good connection. In my case, it would seem an intermittent loss of power to the engine systems may have been causing my issue.

Mountain of a trail
The trail rises and falls with dramatic twists and turns, like a trail would in the heart of the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area.
That's part of its beauty. And the beauty of the area winding through and around the mine pit lakes of Cuyuna Country is undeniable.
But, some might say, that's the dilemma.
Those rapid descents will make for some blurry runs for hard-core mountain bikers when the highly anticipated world-class trail opens in the CCSRA sometime this spring. Some members of the Cuyuna Group of Minnesota Off-Road Cyclists half-jokingly wondered out loud during a recent meeting if that didn't in some way defeat the purpose of what they see this trail to be.
It's the beauty of the surroundings, of those rapid ascents and descents backdropped by towering pine trees and deep-blue mine pit lakes that's the draw for these folks. And, they say, how can you truly enjoy the beauty surrounding those awe-inspiring descents when you're busy barreling down those runs?
In that sense, the beauty of this trail is absolutely in the eye of the beholder, with something for everyone — from those who prefer to meander along the trail and enjoy the view to those who are more focused on navigating a trail that, in their eyes, will be nothing more than a blur of red clay, handlebars and knobby tires. For them, the beauty of the landscape is how it translates to these heart-racing runs.
Regardless, all of that beauty will be on display when the trail finally opens.
Yes, finally.
The trail has been in the works for years. And for many of those years, it was a conceptual thing. But anticipation grew last spring, when the trail began to take shape. And again last fall, when it was thought the trail might open. But those associated with the trail didn't want to rush something they had nurtured for all those months. A winter under its belt before encountering what they expect to be heavy tire traffic would be good for the trail, they thought. So it was pushed back.
Now, the last traces of winter are the only thing between mountain bikers and a trail designed especially for them. Names already are being attached to the 30 or so loops that make up the approximately 24-mile trail — names that resonate with the area and the mining community, such as Man High, Trout and Crusher. The mountain bike trail also will utilize the paved trail already existing within the CCSRA.
"The question has been when will the trails open this spring?" said Steve Weber, park manager at the CCSRA. "When the conditions allow and we're able to go through and do a maintenance sweep."
Emergency types were trained last fall on the unique situations that Cuyuna Country might present. And yet this spring, "Emergency personnel will be doing steep-angle training. They probably haven't done that before," Weber said, adding that a thorough mapping system also is in the works.
"There's been a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. A lot of credit goes to these local guys," he added, motioning to those in attendance at the recent Cuyuna Group of Minnesota Off-Road Cyclists meeting.
While the trail will open as soon as conditions allow, it won't be complete until late May or early June, when a 65-foot bridge linking the trail between the Pennington and Portsmouth mine pits is added. So it should be in place for the DNR's grand opening of the trail June 10, being held in conjunction with the first Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Festival June 11-12 in Crosby and on the trail.
"It (the bottom of the bridge) will be 10 feet above the water to allow for navigation," Weber said, referring to boat traffic on those popular fishing pit lakes. "It (the bridge) is prefabricated. It will be coming in one piece. A crane will drop it in place and they'll bolt it down. They'll still have to do all the concrete work. It's pretty much midway through the trail. It's a real big piece (of the puzzle)."
While it's not just for travel via knobby tires, this trail was made with mountain bikers in mind.
"There will still be hiking," Weber said. "But we're not promoting it as a hiking trail. It's not set up for them. All the literature has been toward mountain biking.
"It's a different world out there."

The apartment is very well located, easy to reach with bus and metro. Supermarket is very near, 2-3 minutes away. Apartment was conmfortable enough for 3 persons.
A very nice, spacious apartment located near to Vatican. A wonderful terrace! Close to bus station. The flat was clean, neighborhood was quiet. Good quality-price relationship. Great place to stay in Rome.
Good apartment with terrace. Near by Vaticaan and metro station S Pietro.
For 2 adults and 2 children great enough.
For 4 adults +/-.
The apartment was nice, perfect for a couple but also good for a group of friends. We had there everything what we needed, the location was good: metro station like a 7 min walk away, next to apartment is a bus stop, and the Vatican was like maybe 20 mins away by foot.
Flavia was very helpful, explained everything and gave some tips where to go.
Thank you Flavia!
The owner was helpful and kind, willing to help and give all necessary information about services and the área. Aptl location is very convenient, with good bus connections to the city center, by walk - 20min to Vatican and 15min tometro station. All facilities are very clean, modern and well kept. Room was very spacious, comfortable and quiet. The area is very nice and has restaurants, cafes, supermarket, drugstores, everything what you need for selfcatering, etc.
Buena ubicación aunque tuvimos que esperar en la calle por el check-in hora y media, pese a estar citados mediante mail
Flavia była bardzo pomocna i uczynna :) bezproblemowo zgodziła się na zostawienie walizek po zdaniu kluczy, tak byśmy spokojnie mogli zwiedzać miasto; mieszkanie dobrze urządzone, przestronne, bardzo dobra lokalizacja - blisko Watykan, metro i duży supermarket; jedyna mała rzecz do poprawki to słabe wifi - reszta bardzo pozytywnie
Lage gut, 10 Minuten Fußweg zum Vatikan, Supermarkt 3 Min.. Wohnung sauber, aber billigst eingerichtet, Schränke wackeln bedenklich, wenn man sie öffnet, Bettrückwand ist locker. Duschkabine undicht.Wohnung könnte durch kleinere Reperaturarbeiten und Details aufgewertet werden. Sie ist leider sehr dunkel, die Terasse lädt nicht zum Verweilen ein.

Jay-Z has refuted reports that Beyonce is pregnant with her second child, according to a radio program director for Hot 97 in New York City, who claimed he received an e-mail from the hip-hop mogul.
Ebro Darden, who works for the station, said he sent Jay-Z a congratulatory e-mail, following a report last week that indicated Beyonce is carrying her second child.
While speaking on the station's "The Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg Show with K Foxx," on Monday, Darden said Jay-Z replied and told him the news was false.
Asked to quote what Jay-Z actually wrote in the e-mail back to him, Darden said, "'It's not true. The news is worse than blogs.'"
The New York Post's Page Six claimed earlier this month that multiple sources told the paper that Beyonce was expecting.

Speculation heated up when Beyonce canceled a show last week in Belgium under doctor's orders.
A rep for Jay-Z did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Access Hollywood on Monday about Darden's claim he received an e-mail from the rap superstar.

Nevada has struggled in 2013, its second year in the Mountain West, still winless in conference play (0-12 entering Thursday's match at Wyoming) and 2-22 on the year. Contrary to CSU, which has won 22 consecutive matches, Nevada is on a 15-match losing streak dating back to September. Nevada is 1-14 away from Reno, defeating Montana in Lubbock, Texas. The Wolf Pack also picked up a 3-0 sweep over Weber State during the second week of the season.
The Wolf Pack have struggled as a team. Junior Tessa Lea'ea, a Preseason All-Mountain West Team selection leads all players with 2.70 kills, down from 3.14 in 2012. Lea'ea also leads Nevada in blocks, ranking seventh in the MW with 1.12 per set. Dana Holt is Nevada's only other player to rank in the top 10 in the MW for a statistical category, averaging 8.02 assists per set (eighth).
As a team, Nevada ranks eighth in the league in blocks (1.97 per set), but last in the other six statistical categories.
Nevada is coached by Ruth Lawanson. In two-plus seasons in Reno, Lawanson has gone 11-68.
Saturday will mark just the seventh all-time meeting between the Rams and Wolf Pack, with four coming in the last two years since Nevada joined the Mountain West. CSU holds a 4-2 edge over Nevada, winning three in a row since starting the series 1-2.
CSU's 30-match regular season winning streak and 15-match true road winning streak began at Nevada on Oct. 27, 2012. In that match, CSU hit .323 as Deedra Foss recorded 36 assists, in addition to three kills, five digs and four blocks. In the last three meetings, CSU has hit .355 against Nevada, limiting the Wolf Pack to sub-.100 hitting twice. Last month in Reno, CSU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the match, but let Set 3 slip away after substituting some different players into the match. The Rams used an 8-1 run in Set 4 to win the match, 3-1. In the victory, Marlee Reynolds was one of four players in double figures for kills, tallying 13 on .455 hitting.
With 22 straight victories, CSU is off to a record-setting start. With a come-from-behind win at Utah State (Nov. 2), the Rams surpassed the 2001 squad's 20-0 start. CSU followed its historic win with another victory on Tuesday at Wyoming to improve to 22-0 on the season.
"That's a record that these players deserve all the credit for," Hilbert said after his team came back from an 0-2 deficit at Utah State. "They're just good competitors. They have a lot of grit and determination. You can say what you want about our schedule or whatever, but we haven't lost in 21 matches, and we've been in some pretty precarious situations, and that's pretty neat. I sit back sometimes in awe of this group of players, and the things they continue to do in these tough situations. I don't think this is me as a coach. I think this particular group has character, and just have it. They have a magical way of competing and doing well in end-games. That's just these kids; they're great."
In 2001, the Rams suffered their initial defeat on Nov. 3 to No. 15 Utah, and finished the year ranked No. 10 with a 29-4 record.
Not only are the Rams off to their best start ever, but the team's 22-match winning streak is one shy of match a program record when CSU was victorious in 23 consecutive matches from Sept. 20-Dec. 6, 2003. The Mountain West's longest winning streak was established when Utah won 25 consecutive matches between Sept. 3 and Nov. 24, 2006.
Excluding the Rams' NCAA tournament loss to No. 22 Purdue last season, they haven't lost a contest since Oct. 25, 2012, a span of 30 consecutive regular-season victories, a program record.
Considered one of the most successful volleyball coaches in the nation, Head Coach Tom Hilbert is just one win shy of yet another milestone victory: No. 600. Less than a year after celebrating his 400th career win at CSU (right), Hilbert is on the verge of becoming the 17th active coach to reach 600 career wins.
Of those currently at 600, none have coached as few of games as Hilbert. With a win Saturday, he will be one of 10 coaches in NCAA volleyball history to reach 600 wins and at least a .770 winning percentage.
- Record at CSU: 425-104 (.803) - winningest coach in any sport at CSU.
- Career record: 599-176 - 17th among active coaches in wins.
- Career winning percentage: .773 - 11th among active coaches; 15th among all coaches all-time.
- 16 NCAA tournaments in 16 years in Fort Collins.
- 236-28 (.894) record at Moby Arena, including 25-12 against ranked opponents.
- 40 total wins against top-25 teams at CSU, including No. 1 UCLA in 2000.
- 13 conference coach-of-the-year awards, in addition to three AVCA region coach-of-the-year-honors.
In the 11th week of the season, CSU is one of two Division I teams to have yet to lose a match, joining Missouri. While this is the best start to a season in terms of wins, it is also the longest in terms of date on the calendar. The latest CSU had previously gone without losing a match was Nov. 3, in 2001.
CSU has never been the only unbeaten team in the NCAA. In 2001, when the Rams were 20-0 in November, Long Beach State was the only other ranked undefeated team. That year, the 49ers went 33-1, with their only loss coming to Stanford in the national championship. In 1999, CSU was one of three ranked unbeaten teams before losing at UNLV on Oct. 16. Hawai'i (finished 29-2, Sweet 16) and Northern Iowa (30-1, Sweet 16) were the other undefeated teams at that point.
With a 22-0 record, the Rams own several impressive win streaks.
- 30 straight regular-season victories (1st in NCAA)
- 22 consecutive wins (2nd in NCAA)
- 18 straight home wins
- 15 consecutive true road wins
- 17 straight wins away from Moby Arena during the regular season
- 21 straight Mountain West victories
Despite a pair of road wins last week, the undefeated Colorado State Rams dropped one spot, to No. 10, in this week's AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25 Poll. CSU and Minnesota swapped positions after the Golden Gophers beat then-No. 16 Purdue last Friday.
On Oct. 28, the Rams were selected No. 9 in the nation, marking CSU's first top-10 ranking since the Nov. 29, 2004 poll.
"We're in this position because we're undefeated," Head Coach Tom Hilbert said after the team's No. 9 ranking. "We have to stay humble and go win the next match. There is no selfishness on this team. No one feels like they have to prove something, they just go out and play great volleyball. That's how we need to continue to play."
While it has been nearly a decade since CSU was in the top 10, the program has a strong history of being among the best in the nation. CSU has been ranked more frequently than all but 14 teams in NCAA history, and earned a spot in the top 10 for the 60th total time on Monday, a number that ranks 19th among all programs. All-time, CSU is 421-125 as a ranked team, including 116-23 while in the top 10. The Rams' highest-ever ranking is No. 3, in 2000.
CSU began the season receiving 15 points in the preseason poll, good for 38th. With each win, however, the team has continued to climb the rankings, cracking the top 25 for the first time on Sept. 16.
The Rams made history on Oct. 19, defeating San Diego State to win their 12th consecutive true road match, a program record. The streak began on Oct. 27, 2012, at Nevada. CSU earned two more victories last week, to extend the streak to 14 victories.
It took the Rams six tries to get their first win away from Moby Arena in 2012, finally posting one at UNLV on Oct. 14, in front of a national TV audience. However, the Rams finished strong, winning their final five down the stretch, and have opened up 2013 with nine true road wins in nine tries — in addition to two neutral-court wins in Malibu, Calif., which are not included in the true road wins figure.
Winners of four straight Mountain West championships, CSU began its conference-title defense on Sept. 18 by sweeping Wyoming in three tight sets. The Rams have won 17 consecutive conference home openers, dating back to 1997, Head Coach Tom Hilbert's first at the helm of the Rams.
With four weeks remaining in the regular season, CSU owns a 3.5-game lead in the Mountain West standings.
The Rams are 13-0 in MW play for just the second time ever, and CSU's 10-0 start through the midway point marked the sixth time that CSU has gone unbeaten during the first half of MW play. The only other time CSU has started 13-0 was in 2003, when the Rams went a perfect 14-0.
Separated by less than 70 miles, the rivalry between CSU and Wyoming dates back to 1976, the Rams' first year as a program. The Rams have played the Cowgirls more than any other opponent, and have had great success over the years. On Tuesday, CSU improved to 61-18 all-time against its neighbors to the north, including 33-2 under Head Coach Tom Hilbert. What's more, Hilbert has never lost to Wyoming at Moby Arena (17-0).
The Rams' 22-0 start is remarkable, but making it more impressive is how it has happened. Head Coach Tom Hilbert should be the favorite to win his ninth Mountain West Coach-of-the-Year award and in contention for a second AVCA Region Coach-of-the-Year honor in three seasons after transforming the 2013 squad from a rebuilding year to a reloading year. The Rams are on pace for one of their best-ever seasons despite losing much of their production from last year's MW championship team which went 21-8.
- CSU lost five players, including four of its starters. All four were All-MW selections during their career and two were AVCA All-Americans.
- CSU graduated 57.11 percent of its offense from a year ago, including the team's top three attackers.
- CSU graduated 48.18 percent of its service aces, including the top three averages.
- CSU graduated 48.37 percent of its digs, including its starting libero.
- CSU graduated 60.98 percent of its blocks, including three of the top four blockers. Megan Plourde finished her career as the second-best blocker in program history, and ranked in the top 10 in the NCAA from 2010-12.
- Of CSU's starters this season, just one was starting in their current position a year ago.
On Oct. 31 at Boise State, CSU won its 20th match of the season, marking the 19th straight season that the Rams have reached that mark. Nebraska (38 entering 2013), Penn State (36), Florida (22) and Hawai'i (19 entering 2013) are the only teams to have a longer streak than CSU.
With CSU's win at Wyoming on Monday, the Rams surpassed their 2012 win total (21-8).
Sophomore opposite hitter Adrianna Culbert was named the Mountain West Women's Volleyball Player of the Week on Monday, her second honor of the season. She is the first player to earn the honor twice. Culbert averaged 2.25 kills on .500 hitting in two road wins, in addition to 3.38 digs and 0.88 blocks per set. In a come-from-behind victory at Utah State to set the program record for wins to start a season, Culbert had 12 kills on .522 efficiency. She did not make an error in 23 attacks, and added a career-high-tying 17 digs and a season-best six blocks.
It was CSU's first honor since earning the award in three consecutive weeks in September, which marked just the fifth time that a team has earned the award in three straight weeks, most recently occurring in 2008 by CSU.
On Sept. 23, Samantha Peters was named the MW Player of the Week after helping the Rams to a pair of victories on the week, extending CSU's undefeated stretch to 10 matches, one of six undefeated teams in the country at the time. In two three-set wins against Wyoming and SEC power Texas A&M, she averaged 1.83 blocks and 2.83 kills on .412 hitting. She posted 10 kills on .450 hitting against the Cowgirls, who were ranked No. 1 in the country in blocking at the time. Against Texas A&M, she had six stuffs against the nation's 11th-best attacking team at the time.
The league named Culbert its Sept. 16 selection after averaging 5.29 kills and 3.00 digs per set on .523 hitting. In a four-set victory at Denver on Sept. 10, she tallied a career-high 23 kills, the most by a MW player this season at the time and most by a CSU athlete since November 2011. Her 23 kills came on .512 hitting, as she committed just two errors on 41 swings. In the match, Culbert also led the team in aces (3) and digs (14). The following night, hosting Missouri State, Culbert had a team-high 14 kills on .542 hitting, a career high.
One week prior (Sept. 9) Deedra Foss was named the MW Player of the Week after helping the Rams to a 4-0 week, including the Pepperdine Invitational championship. Foss averaged 12.07 assists, 2.60 digs, 0.67 kills, 0.47 aces and 0.47 blocks per set on the week, earning tournament MVP honors. Against UC Santa Barbara, she tallied a double-double with 53 assists, 13 digs, four kills, four blocks and two aces.
Always known as one of the loudest gyms in the entire country, CSU's Moby Arena currently ranks eighth nationally, averaging 3,027 fans per contest. The average would be the highest in program history if the season ended today. Currently, the program's best attendance average came in 2001, when the Rams averaged 2,846 fans per match. In all, CSU has brought in an average of more than 2,000 fans eight seasons, including each of the last three. CSU set a season high with 4,801 fans on Oct. 12 (3-0 win vs. Boise State) the 10th-largest attendance figure in program history.
The Rams are one of three teams nationally to rank in the top 10 for both attendance averages and in the AVCA top-25 poll (also Texas and Minnesota).
As one of the top teams in the country, CSU is also putting up some of the top numbers in the country. The Rams continue to move up in several team and individual categories in the latest NCAA statistical report, released Monday.
CSU is one of the most potent offenses in the country, ranking in the top 15 in both kills and hitting percentage. Additionally, the Rams have risen to No. 6 in blocks per set. CSU and Stanford are the only two teams in the country to rank in the top 15 in kills, hitting percentage and blocks. The Rams also rank high in assists (23nd), with setter Deedra Foss ranking eighth. Samantha Peters is one of three players nationally to average at least 1.47 blocks per set while hitting above .398.
Head Coach Tom Hilbert was pleased to see the success his team had in non-conference play, going a perfect 9-0. However, he has stressed repeatedly that the importance of those matches was to prepare his team for its 20-match Mountain West slate.
"We want to win the Mountain West," Hilbert said. "I think everything leading up to conference play was just that. We know that by winning the Mountain West we will go to the NCAA tournament."
In 14 seasons with the Mountain West, CSU has led the charge by a large margin, winning 10 regular-season conference championships in addition to five MW tournament titles in nine seasons. CSU has finished first in the regular-season standings each of the past four years, leading wire-to-wire from 2009-11.
Entering Saturday's match, CSU has won 20 straight MW matches overall, including 21 in a row at home and 12 straight on the road. The Rams haven't lost a MW match at home since 2010, and haven't lost at home to a current member of the league since 2005, a span of 50 straight victories. All-time, the Rams have won more than 86 percent of their MW matches (192-31, .861 winning percentage), far greater than any current or former opponent. They hold impressive numbers both at home (103-7, .936 winning percentage) and on the road (89-24, .788).
Colorado State closed 2012 by winning its final eight regular-season matches, and on the last night of the season, in front of a home crowd, CSU defeated New Mexico to earn a share of the Mountain West regular-season title. CSU earned the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament after winning the tiebreaker over San Diego State, which also finished 13-3 in league play in 2012.
It marked the fourth consecutive season that CSU has won the MW title. The Rams are in strong position to embark upon uncharted territories in 2013. Just one other time (2000-04) has CSU won five consecutive regular-season titles.
Entering 2013, just three other schools have won their respective conference title in each of the last four seasons (Albany, 5, America East; Dayton, 4, Atlantic 10; and Hawai'i, 18, Big West in 1995 and 2012, WAC from 1996-11). Of those teams, CSU is the only team currently leading its conference.
CSU (13-0) currently holds a 3.5-match lead in the standings, ahead of Fresno State (9-3), New Mexico (8-4), UNLV (8-4) and Utah State (8-4).

How do you determine the natural online conversion rate for any product?
We've developed a formula to calculate this, as well as other key performance indicators. We won't divulge the formula, but here are the factors we consider when making calculations.
Common logic is to set a site profitability goal while striving to achieve a conversion rate equal to or greater than the "universal average." Yet in our experience, this formula leaves dollars on the table.
In every case we've observed, this approach results in conversion goals that are far too low to realize a product's potential or even to inspire a Web development team. Another undesired result is other critical top-line metric goals are typically left undetermined or, at best, very vague. There's simply no greater enemy of business than unclear goals and objectives. When you don't know where you're going, as the Cheshire Cat told Alice, "it doesn't matter which way you go."
The purpose of setting a baseline conversion rate is to maximize a product's income and potential. There's no way to accomplish this other than to evaluate every possible factor that affects conversion rate and to score each. Doing so will provide a big-picture, realistic overview of what level a Web site can be expected to perform at.
Factors fall into three primary categories: confidence and intent; the personal experience factor (PEF); and environmental and conditional factors.
Confidence and Intent
These factors occur before a visitor lands on your site and measure the confidence buildup that occurs prior to that event:
- Unqualified. How much traffic on your site belongs there? A certain percentage of traffic doesn't belong on your site simply because the visitor arrived by mistake. Another set of visitors needs a product or service you don't offer.
- Customer intent. What are your customers' intentions toward your site and products? Will they buy today? Or do they intend to research a product online, then purchase it offline? Keyword research can help determine intent.
- Brand confidence. How much confidence do visitors have in your products or brand before they arrive at your site? This, in a nutshell, is customers' prior knowledge of your brand. It's learned through word of mouth and the impact quotient of your marketing efforts, both online and off-.
This is the actual experience a visitor has during and after a visit to your site. The following factors contribute to a site's PEF:
- Planning. Is there a comprehensive, focused understanding of target-visitor buying models? How well do you communicate your unique value proposition in regard to what's in the visitor's heart?
- Structure. Do the design, information architecture, and technology aspects of the site support the requirements of the buying and selling process? Does the visitor become disoriented or lose interest due to site flaws?
- Momentum. Does the site's conversion process channel visitor activity and motivate action? Does each page engage the buyer and persuade him to take action? Can you capitalize on up- and cross-sell opportunities?
- Communications. Does your site content convey your message effectively, and is the copy persuasive? Is it unequivocally clear where visitors are, and why, based on their goals?
- Value. Does the Web site communicate the value not only of your products and services but also of doing business with you? Are the benefits clear?
- Service after the sale. How do you support customers after the transaction? Do you find ways to exceed their expectations? Can customers find their shipping and product questions on the site easily, or at all?
Environmental and Conditional Factors
These factors exist largely outside of a company's immediate control:
- Product relevance. Do your products deliver on the promise made to the customer? How relevant is your offering?
- Conversion type. Is your site's objective to sell products or services, sell content, or generate leads? We know a significant percentage of all traffic on an e-commerce site won't convert.
- Product buy in and buying cycle. How complex is the sales process? Does your product require endorsement from another person, in addition to the visitor? (common for many B2B sites). How much time and effort is a visitor willing to devote to the conversion process?
- Market potential. This is the total dollars available in a product or service category. Keyword research can help determine this.
- Competitive environment. What are your competitors doing, and how does it affect your sales?
Each of these factors must taken into account and individually scored. Our formula also calculates the effect each factor may have on another one.
For example, all factors being equal, a Web site with strong brand confidence might expect the same conversion rate as a lesser-known site with a stronger PEF score.
When Citrix Online introduced a new product, GoToMeeting, we scored these factors using lessons gleaned from our experience with its more established GoToMyPC site. Being able to compare and contrast made some factors easier to measure. Others, like market potential, required more research. Finally, we determined a natural baseline for conversion that will allow Citrix to realistically project the site's performance.
An added benefit of the formula is it reveals potential weaknesses in a product offering and serves as a guide for recommending improvements. Think about these factors. They'll help with your planning.

"We didn't stay here, but a few of our guests did. One couple told us that some septic system work challenged their enjoyment of the balcony. As far as reserving rooms went, it was tough to reach the sales liason, but once we did, all was set up and no one had any issues with reservations, etc. The central location is great, too."

"This is a lovely hotel. One friend told me there was confusion when she called to request the room block; however, the sales woman assured me that she'd rectify the confusion with the front desk and I believe she did. A slightly more remote, but beautiful location with comfy rooms. They let us leave gift bags at the front desk, etc. It was easier to reach the sales department than with the Hilton."

Digital pen and paper delivers cost savings for medical company
Medical examinations company Medicals Direct is rolling out a digital pen and paper system to 500 nurses.

Medical examinations company Medicals Direct is rolling out a digital pen and paper system to 500 nurses.
Nurses employed by Medicals Direct carry out 15,000 to 16,000 medical examinations a month on behalf of insurance companies and the shift to using digital forms is leading to large time savings.

Managing director Jonathan Benton said, "Our average turnaround for an examination was 14 days. We are getting 14 days down to eight days. It is bringing huge benefits to our customers."
Medicals Direct nurses fill in paper forms that are printed on a complex pattern of dots. The digital pen contains a camera that measures the movement of the pen over the pattern of dots. The pen's movements are sent to a mobile phone using Bluetooth.
Once the nurse has signed the form on completing an examination, the data is sent to Medicals Direct's head office IT systems.
The company has spent £400,000 on a two-year contract with Paper IQ to provide 500 digital pens, 500 Blackberry devices with Bluetooth functionality, and 500 airtime contracts with O2.
Its IT department spent 300 man-days integrating Paper IQ's server architecture with its proprietary system for managing appointments. IT staff also had to integrate with the Blackberry Enterprise Server.
They used a W3C standard, WS Eventing, to integrate with both platforms.
Medicals Direct also developed its own mobile application to work on the Blackberry devices. Using Research in Motion's Mobile Design Studio development tool, the IT department took just 20 man-days to build an application that could send and receive XML push messages containing appointments.

Input needed on national forest plan
Hundreds gather in the Transylvania County Public Library to give their input at the U.S. Forest Service's Pisgah Ranger District meeting on Monday, March 18.
Around 170 concerned citizens showed up for the meeting in Brevard from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. to discuss revising the plan for the national forests, which was created in 1987. The last revision took place in 1994.
The revision will undergo three phases. Phase 1 includes gathering and assessing input and data from the community. Phase 2 will entail identifying changes needed in the plan and is set to begin this summer. Phase 3 will result in the developed plan, set for implementation.
The plan is set to be complete by 2015. The forestry service hopes to have a report of the assessments availably by the end of September 2013.
The first phase of the revision began on Feb. 21 with the Cheoah Ranger District at the Graham County Community Center in Robbinsville. Since then, each of the ranger districts within the Nantahala-Pisgah National Forests have met with their communities to discuss the current state of the forests.
A PowerPoint presentation outlining the revision process was shown to the audience. After the presentation, community members had the chance to openly express their opinions and concerns over the forests.
"We need to come up with a plan to make our forest productive," said one attendee.
Many of the responses were framed around the concern of keeping the forests safe and productive. Others expressed concern over native wildlife in the forests and their dwindling numbers.
After the audience had the chance to speak, they were free to roam the room observing poster boards with information about the forests. Rangers were available to take questions and concerns.
The audience was also asked to write two notes, which were collected from all groups and placed on a large board, with two sections. The first, labeled "Me," outlined the ways in which the community believed forests served them individually. The second, labeled "WNC," discussed how all of Western North Carolina could be benefited.
Some of the responses listed benefits such as hiking and fishing, while others claimed having a place to get away from technology was reason enough to protect the forests.
Groups from both Haywood Community College and Western Carolina University attended the Brevard meeting to learn the impact they have on the forests and vice versa. They were also able to leave their input with the rangers.
Community members are welcome to submit questions and feedback to the rangers via email at email@example.com. Rangers ask that feedback be submitted by April 30.

The primer in the pic is NOT a light strike. That one should have gone off. Primer problem, dude.

The primer in the pic is NOT a light strike. That one should have gone off. Primer problem, dude.
Bump this up. Just to note. I have another dud, or light strike with my G30 today, using Aguila ammo. The strike looked a little weak. I tapped, racked and and kept shooting, then found the round on the ground. It went off on the second attempt. Strange though, I'd think if the gun had a problem, this would occur MUCH more frequently. Not once every 2 years..... I could blame the ammo. But I'm just not sure. The strikes on all the other spent casings are nice and deep. This one was not. I just have doubts blaming the gun as this is not at all a common problem. The first one happened two years ago, and then this one today. In between that time, the G30 has been reliable other than man-made or obvious ammo related failures.
The only other failures I've had with my G30 was a few FTF's that also plagued my M&P45 and 1911 the same day while using the same ammo (Independence ammo). I blamed that on ammo as I could feel that is was particularly weak and affected numerous guns that day. Other failures were created by my grip, which I was able to duplicate and purposely cause the issue (my left hand pushing up on the slide lock, causing it to lock back with a loaded mag). The only potential gun related failure I've had with the G30 are these two light strikes which I'm not sure what to blame. The gun or the ammo. I keep the firing pin and channel pretty clean and do not lube it in any way.
I have heard that striker fired guns need to have the striker spring replaced occasionally. I don't know how old this gun is and whether you store it hammer fired or loaded all the time with the hammer back. I would just look at my spent cases and make sure the hammer strikes look good and you can probably tell if the spring is weak or it was just a dud round. Rimfires get the rap for this kind of stuff all the time but it can happen to centerfires as well, just not as often.
This gun is usually stored 10 +1 at all times in my safe. It's a carry and defensive pistol, so it's stored ready to use. But like I said, this happened two years ago and has gone this long without any issues, and then randomly again today. I'm not sure if that would be spring fatigue. Now if it continues to happen again and again, that would be something to take into consideration. But with the current circumstances, I'm leaning towards it being an ammo problem, I just can't say that for sure. All of the other spent casing had nice deep strikes into them, and suddenly, this one looked hard enough that it should have fired, yet not quite as hard as it should be.
I've read that sometimes primers can be installed to far into the cases sometimes preventing the firing pin from getting a good solid hit and will appear as light strikes.

Garth George writes that education and jobs suffer as no one accepts the blame for years of wild spending.
We're all apt to complain from time to time about the state of our nation - the economy, taxes, Government inaction, increasing prices, crime, social problems, whatever.
But reading the papers and some private correspondence lately, I reckon that Australia and New Zealand have so far escaped the worst of the economic earthquake that hit the Western world a couple of years ago and that we are faring better and will recover more quickly than a lot of other developed countries.
We have been regaled in the newspapers of late with the vicious cost-saving measures being imposed in Britain and Greece, in particular, and on Tuesday in this newspaper were brought up to date with the situation in Germany, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium and France.
And it occurred to me that we New Zealanders (and Australians, too) are rather fortunate to be tucked away at the bottom of the world, far away from Western Europe and the United States.
We are fortunate, too, that we are not prone to riots, property damage and bloodshed when the going gets tough, unlike Greece, France and even Britain where citizens are liable to express their displeasure in ways we Kiwis wouldn't even consider. Our infrequent and generally well-behaved protest marches are respectable by comparison.
Mind you, I'm not saying that everything in our nation's garden is lovely and we have little to worry about. You only have to read this newspaper for a week to know that isn't so, politically, economically or socially.
And I wonder sometimes, in the face of the Government's regular weekly multimillion-dollar borrowing, whether we have yet to face the consequences of our prodigality over the past 25 years or so.
I wonder when I think of the multi-billion "surpluses" that Labour Finance Minister Michael Cullen so proudly announced year after year throughout the last decade. Where did all that money go, if it existed at all?
However, all that aside, I'm just glad I don't live in the United States. We read a lot of comment by journalists and professional commentators on the state of affairs in the US, but rarely do we read anything of the view of the American man and woman in the street.
From time to time one of them, a mate of mine who lives in Chicago, brings me up to date with what's going on over there and his letters simply confirm that we Kiwis are a hell of a lot better off than millions and millions of Americans, yet suggest we'd better watch ourselves.
He says the main reaction to the economic collapse is still anger, confusion, and a lack of understanding of how the mess happened and that too many people prefer to yell and scream rather than think things out.
He likens what he calls the "American malaise" to that which applied just before the 1929 Wall St crash but with one difference: "Back then, everybody blamed themselves; today people blame everybody but themselves. Everyone spent and spent and spent as if there were no tomorrow."
He points out that George W. Bush inherited a $5 trillion surplus from Bill Clinton and in eight years turned it into a $10 trillion national debt.
The US, he writes, is awash with home foreclosures as more and more mortgages go under - the houses worth less than the borrowing.
And, he says, the "next shoe to drop" will be the bankruptcy of states and municipalities. His state of Illinois is bankrupt and businesses are fleeing to avoid being taxed out of existence. California, New Jersey, New York, Minnesota and numerous other states are on the brink of bankruptcy.
He says those who talk loosely about smaller government and putting people back to work - Republicans particularly - seem oblivious to the fact that a vast number of American industries no longer exist, and that many famous American brand-name businesses are nowadays simply middlemen moving products designed, built and shipped in China to retailers in the US.
"One only has to go to Long Beach to see what is going on - thousands of Chinese and other Asian container ships lined up unloading wagonload after wagonload of goods to be shipped all over America. How, pray tell, are any politicians proposing to bring those jobs back to America?"
As for education, my friend says it is now so expensive that the middle class is increasingly priced out of a quality college education unless they take on debt they might never be able to repay.
As a result, "American students are routinely falling behind their contemporaries all over the world in maths, science, technology and so forth, while there is a general disdain for the so-called soft sciences such as literature, art and music. This alone will make us a second-class nation."
It seems to me that there are a few lessons here that New Zealanders in all walks of life would do well to consider.

Stocks continued to hold near their session highs in afternoon trading Friday.
The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 were up 0.7% each while the Nasdaq rose 0.4%. Despite mixed economic data this morning, the Nasdaq hit a nearly 14-year high, and the S&P 500 nabbed a record high.
Volume was mixed in the stock market today. Nasdaq trade was tracking sharply higher, while NYSE volume was running lower.
MasTec (MTZ) gapped up and bolted 8% to its best level since July 2000. The lift put it 16% past a 35.41 buy point from a consolidation cleared in January. Late Thursday, the provider of heavy construction services delivered Q4 earnings and sales above views, but guided first-quarter results below expectations. MasTec said the first quarter is usually its weakest of the period and it noted disruptions from bad weather.
Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) rose 3% to a three-year high in fast trade. It's now 26% past a 28.71 buy point from a cup-with-handle base. Last month, the chipmaker delivered a 22% increase in its fiscal first-quarter earnings, marking the fourth straight period of accelerating growth.
Despite the major indexes hitting new highs, some leaders struggled.
New issue RetailMeNot (SALE) reversed lower and slid 8%. The downside reversal left its shares 9% past a 39.60 buy point from a cup base. It had been up more than 20%.
Ubiquiti Networks (UBNT) slumped 5% after erasing early gains. Despite this, the stock is still 3% past a 48.10 buy point from a cup base. Shares were up as much as 11% past the 48.10 trigger.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) dropped 7%, wiping out Thursday's advance and then some. Late Tuesday, the drugmaker reported Q4 results below views and announced a management shakeup. But Jazz guided full-year sales for 2014 above expectations.

Massachusetts' 2006 health reform law is frequently a topic of research and debate. However, few studies have specifically focused on how children have fared as a result of the reform. That is until this recent study published in the American Economic Review that focuses solely on children under 18 and the impact that health reform had on their insurance coverage, care utilization and health outcomes. The report reminds readers that past research had linked better health during childhood to better health status and achievement in adulthood.
Miller, the author, finds that while health reform had only a small effect on the percentage of children that gained coverage, it was crucial to improving the type of coverage children had access to, increasing the use of primary care, and improving health outcomes.
The study uses data from the 2002-2008 National Health Interview Survey, which allowed comparisons of coverage before and after implementation of the law. Additionally, children's coverage in Massachusetts is compared to children's coverage in other Northeastern states (Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont) in order to analyze trends.
Before the implementation of health reform, children in Massachusetts had relatively high coverage rates, about 96% – which increased an estimated 2.2 percentage points by 2008. While not unimportant, the more compelling story lies in what the composition of coverage and care utilization looked like. Enrollment increased in both Medicaid and private insurance, and declined in state funded programs CMSP and FreeCare, which do not offer comprehensive care, and are not generally considered insurance programs. Relative to the other Northeastern states, the increase in Medicaid enrollment was not significant, as other states experienced similar growth. The increased enrollment in private insurance (between 7.9 and 10.4 percentage points) and the slump in enrollment of the aforementioned state programs (between 7.3 and 7.6 percentage points), were both statistically significant.
Miller finds that the increase in comprehensive coverage notably reduced the probability of visiting the ER. The probability that a child received a check-up and the probability that a child visited a doctor's office, both also increased, although to a lesser extent. Other terrific news; almost no children reported having to forgo care due to costs after the implementation of health reform, and the number of children described as being in excellent health increased between 5.5 and 6.0 percentage points.
These new findings highlight the success of the healthcare reform in Massachusetts as it impacts children, and has implications for the success our nation's children stand to achieve once the ACA is fully implemented in 2014.

[QUOTE=GIANTSED101;518083]I completely agree w/ the no huddle. The Eagles were running in different lineman all game long and for some reason we never changed up the tempo.

I think we'd all be very happy with our secondary if we could somehow finally get some consistent pressure on the QB
"When I was 15, I could not believe how dumb my father was.....when I was 25, I could not believe how much he had learned in 10 years"
1st to use the phrase "In Reese we trust"
Romo, Vick & Cam are elusive, athletic, scrambling QBs, even Freeman can run when he has to. Our D line is not always gonna have success vs those type of QBs cuz they can elude the pass rush & either take off for yardage or throw the ball away or complete it to a reciever. We will probably have more success vs the pocket passers that are less elusive.
I have confidence that the sacks & pressures will come.
I think Tuck and Osi are bringing these guys down. They are our top vets. Tuck took it upon himself to be a leader. A leader can't mope and display a beaten attitude. We have so much youth on the D. Youth is so impressionable. If they see doubt, or a vet they look up playing half-a**ed, its going to rub off. I see it on my job all the time. I don't know maybe its the constant injuries getting into their heads. I hope TC can pull another rabit out of his hat this year. We will need it just to be respectable.
Lack of production is killing them emotionally and wearing them out. All they need is one good game and everything will be on the up and up again. Maybe Cleveland is the game this happens or maybe Cleveland is the game that causes the bottom to drop out. Winning fixes everything, winning convincingly will repair all the egos.

When we travel (without boat) and find ourselves in some cool spot, we''ll often go out on the local "Sunset Sail" usually $35 a pop. Fun painless outings.
Then one day last month I was visiting my hometown in Florida, a popular tourist destination, and it occurred to me there was no "Sunset Sailing" cruise offered. Never has been.
Hmmm, my wife and I wondered, what would it take to open up a business. There are dozens of hotels with their little brochure kiosks, grease the palms of the concierges of the bigger hotels.
Mind you, I''d be keeping my "day job" which is my own business and I work where and when I want. This would be something on top of that.
I did some searches on the web and I couldn''t find anything on the licenses or requirements anywhere. I''m sure there''s a ton of regulations.
Anyone here have an idea where to hunt down this kind of info?
Sunset Sailing Business
You''ll need at least a Six Pack License. You can check it out at
Good luck..
Sunset Sailing Business
Thanks. I assumed I''d need a captains license, but what I''m REALLY wondering is all the other details. For instance, what kind of insurance would be required. Are there boat restrictions or limitations to followed.
For example, when I go on these cruises there''s always at least a crew of 2, the captain and first mate. Makes sense in case of emergency. If this is the case, would the first mate need some kind of license.
What about the boat, other than life preservers, what other gear might be required.
Things like that. Of course, getting the proper captain''s license would be one of the first critial steps.
Sunset Sailing Business
This is a VERY limited license. You would be premitted to have only 6 persons onboard the boat you were captaining. That includes any crew you feel you would need. if you want a more inclusive license you can still check on that page I sent yiou before. The classes you would take to quilify to take the tests would give you all the info your mentioned in your post..
Sunset Sailing Business
You need nothing but guts and a licence. the licence dictates what equipment you will need. I''d keep everything low key. A friend has been begging me to do this in the Ft. Myers area.

Dot on Roxbury
As may of you know, my husband Howie and I owned the Roxbury Sweet Shoppe for 40 years. It is nice to see my granddaughter, Jeannie Livingston and her husband Craig Livingston are following in our footsteps by opening an ice cream parlor, S.S. Scoops, in Brandenton, Beach, Florida.
The following is quoted from the Brandenton Beach local paper, the Island Biz...
S.S. Scoops located at 103 B Gulf Drive N. In Bradenton Beach is not your usual ice cream shop. In fact, say new owners Craig and Jeannie Livingston, the store is most unusual because it's got a little something for everyone, including a kids' lounge with a television.
In addition to 32 flavors of ice cream, the Livingston's have added Vienna Beef hot dogs, soft pretzels with cheese, fruit smoothies, kids candy and toys and a great selection of art creations and gift items. They've even got homemade waffle cones and Craig makes ice cream cakes as a special order with 24-hour notice. And there's a special kid-sized ice cream cone at a kid-friendly price.
Although new to the Island, the Livingston's have already fallen in love with the lifestyle and are looking forward to their first winter season on Anna Maria Island. "We're spending the next few months getting ready," said Craig. "Everybody's telling us to be prepared, but we're having fun right now meeting the local people and getting to know the community."
Craig was a chef in New York City for 10 years before following Jeanine's parents to Florida. They live in Venice, so the Livingston's children Sarah, 3, and Stephen, 15 months can visit them often. Fact is the "S.S." in the name stands for Sarah and Stephen.
"I think the kids like it that we're in an ice cream store," said Jeanine. "Sarah is already asking how to make things."
Indeed, S.S. Scoops makes sundaes; shakes and banana splits, all using ice cream from Big Olaf's Creamery in Sarasota, voted the best ice cream in that city last year. And the store has a generous supply of Kahlua Crunch ice cream, the top seller among locals and visitors. The store is open from noon to 10:30 p.m. daily and Craig and Jeanine would like to invite all their new neighbors to stop in and visit.
Tables are available inside and outside for eating and conversation about what a family oriented place S.S. Scoops is.
"We're all about good ice cream and having fun," said Jeanine.
Happy belated birthday to Theresa Taphouse, September 1.


text: I have a NBS 2007 silverado and replaced my lights in both the headlights and fog lights. My problem is the fog lights were replaced with putco bulbs in the range of 3800K and the chrome in the housing has now chipped and were made to a dull finish no longer shiney. But the headlights were changed to PIAAS in the 4000K range with no problems yet. So what I am asking is anyone else had this problem and what about HIDs with a higher K more heat? What can I do because I am looking to replace the foglight housing but do not want it to happen again.

As usual we don't have all the facts. We don't know if the BG was armed. We don't know if the homeowner was in fear for his life. We don't know if he was simply outraged that he was the victim of a burglary.
I think he should have called 911 and gotten a good description of the BG, his vehicle and hs direction. As long as he and his family were not in danger he should never have drawn his weapon.

Hi guys, I'm making something and I'm thinking about using the ITC Franklin Gothic family. My confusion and question is: I know that a client brought me some time ago the font family with a customization project I took on, but I'm not sure if I already had the fonts installed in my system prior to that, I have the impression that it is included and gets installed with PS CS4 version which I use? I just want to make sure if the latter is the case, as I wouldn't want to use a font in my next item that the buyer would have to buy, but just mention that is a free font already included in their system (if that's indeed the case) since they'd have to be using CS4 . Anyone can confirm/deny that it is indeed a PS CS4 font?
Moved to Off Topic
Thank you Dzinc and sorry for the trouble to move the thread. So, another font it is.
No trouble at all. Good luck with the new item.
Thank you my friend

AUDI turned practical with its chic A1 hatchback, adding an extra set of doors
while keeping the same price as the existing three-door version.More
than this, it added a brand new entry version powered by a tiny 1.2-litre
turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine and kicking off from just $26,500 plus
on-road costs – making it the cheapest car to wear the Four Rings in Australia
since 1984.While the three-door A1 has proven a capable little rival
for the likes of Mini, the addition of extra doors and the new starting price
extend this car into areas where Audi has never had a presence, and that is
most definitely a good thing.

iTeachAZ boasts decade-long track record of teacher preparation
An Arizona State University program that immerses future teachers in school settings across the state has a new name and expanding mission.
iTeachAZ, building on ASU's Professional Development School (PDS) program, engages in partnerships with school districts in metropolitan Phoenix and Tucson as well as Arizona's rural and Native American communities to help those districts "grow their own" teachers. iTeachAZ gives students three times the hands-on experience in K-12 classroom settings as traditional teacher preparation programs. In rural communities, students benefit from access to a university degree and teacher certification without having to face the sometimes insurmountable obstacle of relocating to an urban area.
