Shedding excess pounds requires 'discipline, not deprivation,' a longtime 'Weight Watcher' says
Since joining Weight Watchers nearly 32 years ago, Renee Amies of Hazel Dell, Wash., has managed to keep off the 43-1/2 pounds that she lost in the first year. More or less.
'That doesn't mean I haven't found a couple of pounds here and there,' says Amies, 57, 'but then I go back to what works.'
What works for her is 'to practice discipline, not deprivation,' Amies says. 'It's not that we can't have a good piece of candy or a glass of red wine when we want to. The idea is not say no to everything, but balance it.'
For Amies, balance includes plenty of physical activity - riding her bicycle, walking with friends and swimming as much as possible - and trying new vegetables while enjoying her traditional meals.
But Amies - now a full-time employee with Weight Watchers, the worldwide weight-loss company - also knows that shedding extra pounds, and keeping them off, is a team effort.
'If you could lose weight by yourself, you would have a long time ago,' says Amies, who leads 14 Weight Watchers groups in the Portland-Vancouver area. 'I think people get discouraged with the weight-loss process because it gets hard.'
Weight Watchers groups still comprise mostly women, but they also are drawing more men, young adults and families with teenagers 'It pretty much covers it all,' Amies says.
'People are saying, 'I'm just done with this, I need to take better care of myself,' and Weight Watchers is one of the tools they choose to use.'

Factbox: Ten movies to look out for at Venice festival
(Reuters) - The 2011 Venice film festival opens on Wednesday and ends on September 10. After last year's low-key affair, this year promises A-list stars on the red carpet and several eagerly awaited productions.
Following are some of the films generating early buzz ahead of the festival. Unless otherwise stated, the movies appear in the main competition lineup.
1. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
- Swedish director Tomas Alfredson tackles John Le Carre's 1974 classic Cold War spy thriller, with a stellar cast including Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and John Hurt.
British viewers will inevitably compare it to the classic television version featuring Alec Guinness as George Smiley, the espionage veteran brought out of semi-retirement to uncover a Soviet agent who has infiltrated British intelligence.
2. Wuthering Heights
- British festival favorite Andrea Arnold gives her take on the Emily Bronte novel, which was famously adapted in 1939 in a version starring Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff.
On the festival's website, the director hints in a statement that this will be a hard-hitting version: "The novel by Emily Brontë is full of violence, death and cruelty. Living with that for the last eighteen months has been hard."
3. The Ides of March Continued...

Puducherry, Jan 1(UNI) AICC General Secretary V Narayanasamy MP, today called for a reconsideration of the continuation of the ten kg of free rice to all ration-card holders in the Union Territory.
Talking to mediapersons here, Mr Narayansami said that he was never against the implementation of any poor welfare scheme.
Let 20 kg free rice be given to the poor and needy, he added.
Mr Narayanasamy said, however, provision of the free rice to all family card holders need to be reconsidered. The Puducherry administration was implementing several welfare schemes and the parliament members Prof M Ramadass and himself were getting more funds from the Centre for the implementation of the schemes, he added.
He said certain anti-people forces were making allegation against him that he is pressurising the govt to stop subsidies.
Pointing out the incident of bomb blasts at Velrampet area, Mr Narayansami called upon the police force to be more vigilant.
Stringent action should be taken against the culprits, whoever it may be, and for this the force should be geared up, he added.
He said he had stressed for according priority to drinking water, education and health in the recent plan meeting held here for the 11th five year plan. It was also stressed to develop infrastrucutre for Tourism development, he added.
The Central Government was also approached for permission to set-up Casino in a ship here, he said. The Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Praful Patel had assured to introduce a 50-seater flight to Puducherry, following request from him, he added.

Bluetooth is one of those features that can be a pretty important factor in mobile handsets. It allows you to transfer media (including pictures and music) to and from your laptop/desktop or even stream stereo music to a headset using A2DP (Advance Audio Distribution Profile). Many users now tether their cell phones to netbooks/laptops using Bluetooth, cementing just how important it can be.
However, Bluetooth doesn't appear in every netbook/laptop/desktop. Using a USB Bluetooth dongle is one of the ways of getting Bluetooth onto your netbook and it's a relatively inexpensive option. MobileFun, a specialist retailer of mobile accessories, kindly sent over the Atomic Pico Bluetooth USB dongle for review. This particular dongle is the smallest in the world according to its manufacturers and costs £8.95. MobileFun applies a small delivery charge on top of this depending on whether shipping is to the UK or mainland Europe.
The packaging highlights the many benefits of Bluetooth and exactly what can be connected. The dongle comes with the latest Bluetooth 2.1 specification and is compatible with all major Windows operating systems and Mac OSX.
Data transfer is quoted at a maximum of 3 Mbit/s and the dongle should give you around 10 metres of coverage. A number of profiles are supported including A2DP (Advance Audio Distribution Profile) for high quality stereo. It also supports secure pairing and encryption.
The dongle comes with a small disc from which you can install the optional BlueSoliel software (for advanced Bluetooth options). However, the dongle is designed to work as plug and play in Windows XP, Vista & Windows 7. For basic file transfer no drivers are needed.
Whenever a company claims to the smallest/largest it's always difficult to verify their claims. However, whichever way you look at it, the Atomic Pico is super small. It has dimensions of just 12 mm x 13 mm x 3 mm.
The Atomic Pico has been designed to just plug it in and then forget about it. Whilst the dimensions allow for this, it's also good to know that it is solidly built. The Atomic Pico comes with a 12-month warranty.
It's difficult to get a sense on just how small the dongle is. The picture below gives a sense of scale, sticking the dongle side-by-side against a one pound coin.
Once the dongle is inserted it does sit almost flush with the USB port. This means that it is not too much hassle in leaving it there permanently if needed.
Some may be wondering how on earth you take the dongle out, given how flush it is to the chassis. It's not clear in the picture, but there is a small groove along the underneath which you can use for leverage to remove the dongle.
The Atomic Pico dongle works as advertised, the first time you plug it in it takes less than 20 seconds to get it all working via plug and play. I tested it for file transfer and it worked no differently than integrated Bluetooth solutions. We also tried it with an inexpensive Bluetooth headset and had no problems in streaming music. The range was not quite the 10 metres advertised, but you should be able to get around 6-7 metres out of it.
For those of you who don't have a Bluetooth solution, then the Atomic Pico really is an inexpensive way to get it installed onto your system. The fact that it is also one of the smallest dongles we've seen is a bonus, it means that you can leave it installed (if you have a spare USB slot) and barely notice its presence.
Many thanks to MobileFun for sending through this dongle for review!

The latest outbreak of Ebola virus in west Africa is the worst ever—as of Monday, it had infected more than 1,200 people and claimed at least 672 victims since this spring. Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone all have confirmed cases. An official at Doctors Without Borders has declared the outbreak as "totally out of control," according to NBC News. Unfortunately, doctors have no effective vaccines or therapies. Health care workers can only attempt to support patients' immune systems (regulating fluids, oxygen levels, blood pressure and treating other infections) to help the afflicted fight off the virus as best they can.

Gameday Security
Published September 11th, 2010
For most fans today was just another Gator home game. But for law enforcement around Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, it was also a day to be more vigilant in searching for suspicious activity. Some streets around the stadium were closed an hour earlier than normal, and they brought in a few extra bomb sniffing dogs just in case. While one fan made fun of the possible security risk, one season ticket holder says the recent events are a reason to be concerned and his wife stayed home. But one fan from Tampa says she wouldn't miss the game for any reason. Police say only a few minor incidents were reported during the game, which means fans didn't have to worry about their safety, only about what was happening on the field.

Bruce Prichard may become a casualty of TNA's cost-cutting. Sources report that as the company restructures itself, they have been asking office personnel to restructure their deals. Prichard was asked to do so and has reportedly rejected that request and his days are said to be numbered in the company as a result.
TNA's agents were also asked to do so and some within TNA say that shortly after D-Lo agreed to a per-night agreement, he was fired.
More as we get it.
Yes! The 1st release that I actually agree with! Fucking Bruce is the reason D.O.C was released!
Now at least we can get better talent without Bruce screwing it up or at least more female wrestlers.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that's glad he's on his way out. The guy has had so many screw ups that it surprises me he wasn't let go of sooner. I guess now we see why WWE let him go, after all they wouldn't let someone go for no reason.
Not to mention he also almost cost us Bobby Roode! How many contracts has he "let slip by"? Clearly doing a half-assed job if that.
exactly….the rebirth of the knockouts is in the wings…please bring up the blossom twins….
And bring back, ivelisse , Tara, Roxxi, Hamada, Taeler, Kong, & Daffney.
While they at it, get rid of Brooke Hogan, & Garret Bischoff.
If they bring back the KO division, they should do it right. Kong, Daffney, Hamada, and Roxxi would definitely make things right – women that can actually wrestle and not just soft porn for the idiots out there that only watch them for the skimpy outfits they wear.
Daffney? Oh yes!
I thought Daffney was seriously injured and couldn't wrestle anymore? Also, i'd rather Wes brisco go than Bichoff. I see more potential in Bichoff than I do Brisco. But definitely yes to all those knockouts!
According to a backstage interview with James Storm during the UK tour, he said he thought they'd be great in "a year or two". So they may not be ready to be brought up. If not – hold them until they're ready. Let them make their mistakes in OVW so they look like superstars when they get to TNA.
I see people calling for Daffney. Not happening. She's got a history of concussions and DWIs and sued the company on top of it. Guessing that bridge is burned.
I wouldn't mind seeing them sign Veda Scott at some point. She's raw and not a super-model. But she's a legitimate attorney and a very bright young woman. Basically, she's an underdog in this business. But anyone that can go to school, pass the bar, and work in wrestling at the same time deserves a chance.
Hope you can find work elsewhere, just as long as it is not in TNA. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you on your way out.
*Throws up the duece*
So with Bruce Prichard gone who's
Going to be the next Gutcheck
Judge they've lost Taz , Rick Flair,
D-Low (technically) one for one segment
While Al Snow was MIA , but none the less
So I ask who will replace Prichard as the
Gutcheck judge (probably be hogan)
I asume
IF they bring back Gutcheck; they may let it dissolve.
Bruce should go, DLO not bothered as much as some of the others named, Joey Ryan Tara to name a few. Bruce should deffo go.
In the style of gut check
your not ready to be apart of a wrestling company like tna ,your mic skills suck and your a lax idiot who no one likes and hell doesn't do his job properly my
vote is no
TNA is an absolute mess at the moment. The knockouts division is basically dead. The Bound for Glory series is awful as everyone doesn't compete in the same number of matches and it goes on for too long.
This whole cashing in the X division title thing is awful too. What does it say about the X Division title when people are trading it in to get a shot at another title? Just makes it look really weak. Also, they need to get rid of Gut Check. All it does it just add wrestlers to an already crowded roster. The recent cuts show that TNA aren't really bothered about Gut Check either as they let a few winners go. TNA is a right mess at the moment.
Prichard likes restructuring other people contracts, but not his own?
How about that. He's one of the reasons Angelina Love left. -_-
Wonder if she will comeback to TNA once he's gone?
I wouldn't mine seeing Angelina Love – she was pretty good in the ring and entertaining on the mic.
Angelina wrestles in SHINE now.
Diva Diaries: Angelina Love DVD
When TNA 1st hired Pritchard, I thought it might be a good move for the company. But following his poor handling of Robert Roode's contract(letting it expire at the last minute), and now the deal with Hankinson, he really needs to go. Personally I didnn't care about RVD leaving, but this isn't the type of person you want running your talent relations department.
Happy if he walks, especially if he's the one responsible for the downturn in the KO's since he joined..
Am i the only one that seems to be unhappy with this news?
All this releases is making TNA look really unstable right now to me.
Its frightening
Hendrix, Ryan, Tara, and Madison Rayne all make sense. All except Hendrix had guaranteed contracts and weren't being used. Expect to see Joey Ryan back somewhere down the road… the same goes for Matt Morgan too, unless he's already with WWE. And in Madison Rayne's case, based on the tweets from her and Dixie, whenever Rayne is ready to come back, TNA is going to pay her.
And about ole Brucey… this guy has let Roode slip through. He has let Hankinson slip through. Everyone gives Dixie flack, but when she gets involved (like VKM) she gets stuff done. Look at Velvet and Sting year in and out.
I completely agree with you as well. I'd just add that from her recent interview, Hendrix appears to be a bad apple. So even if they had kept her, I can't imagine they'd have pushed someone like her.
Same thing with Bruce. I don't miss BVD at all. But if management thought he should stay and he left because of Bruce's inability to manage contracts, that's a major strike. DOC appears to be the same way. And never mind what happened to Roode. That could have been disastrous. I still don't know why VKM didn't swoop in and pick him up. At the very least, he'd have cost TNA money when Roode's price was driven up…
TNA is such a mess at the moment.
1. Bound for glory series – takes too many wrestlers out for too long a period of time. Each wrestler in the series doesn't fight in the same number of matches as everyone else so its flawed.
2. Knockouts division – don't even need to expand on this
3. X Division – what does it say about the x division that someone gave up that title to get a shot at another. Just makes the X division look really weak
4. Gut Check – stupid idea. Just adds wrestlers to an already crowded roster. TNA clearly don't care about winners seeing as a load were just released. The time this takes up could be used far better.
TNA needs to sort themselves out as there is so much wrong with the company at the moment.
Just because Prichard is leaving (or might be its not confirmed yet),doesn't mean all these people will be coming back. I'd tna were to rehire all the wrestlers you want back they will be right back in the same issue with money.
Thank god!!!!
Hate his guts. Bring back knockouts and x division – just like the good old days when fans looked interested
Any of you who put the blame on one person are dumb. What makes you think Dixie doesn't have something to do with the decision of talent contracts? I'm sure he isn't the only one to blame TNA has been cutting cost for months now since going on the road. The problem always starts from the top. Ever heard the saying sh!t rolls down hill well now you see it happening TNA will be done within 2 yrs. There is no way they are going back to Universal Studios now that WWE is building the HOF there now. TNA is screwed due to miss management from the top!
Okay so I tweeted Roxxi about the rumours of Prickchard leaving and basically begging her to return to TNA and revive the KO's and she replied saying, and I quote, "never say never ;)"
Read into that what you will
best news in a long time
Bruce Prichard is probably working with WWE and Vince McMahon to screw the future of TNA Wrestling. Vince McMahon was responsible for the death of WCW by contacting and filtering then WCW creative director Vince Russo's ideas. Vince Russo worked for the McMahons.
Bruce Prichard is another Vince Russo.
that is a very good point…..
I hope Bruce is gone. He's not head of company material.He continues to let contracts expires and TNA hasn't grown since he's been in charge.
I still think it was a ploy to destroy TNA from within….it sounds like what the McMahons would do…
you must be a complete moron…You do understand that what you're saying is a FELONY to do right? Vince may be a lot of things, but if he did that he would be risking everything hes worked the last 30 years for. And why would he do it? To take out TNA? That's not a threat to him (in his mind anyway). Just like he sent Russo over to WCW, after ratings started to nosedive, riiiight…
How do you come in and immediately start dismantling what was working for the company ….then continuously let go some of the best performers. something isnt right about all of that.
I also think that with the people coming over from WWE they know something is up with Bruce and he is trying to bail before he gets exposed….just a theory.
The top person on the pile, or the owner of TNA has absolute and final call on all contract decisions. No matter what, everything must be approved or disapproved by Dixie first, and that is the way it should be.
If D Lo leaves, I wil miss him. He was a great guy professionally, and treated me very well backstage.
It does appear that TNA is in some form of flux right now. There is no way that WWE has spys or inside agents in TNA to ruin it. Vince could care less.
2 bb
I remember when Pritchard came into WWE…oh wait excuse me.. Brother Love. He was a dick then and he is a still a dick. He took a company (TNA) that was striving and turned it into a mess. I happen to agree with everything that is being said. The BFG series is too long. The X division champion should not have to hand over the title to get a shot at the Heavy Weight Champion. As for the knockouts….time to bring back the ladies that know how to frickin wrestle.
AJ Styles stick is getting too fricking old, It was old five minutes after it started. Bring back the old AJ that came in took care of business and didn't freaking whine about it. Bring back Abyss and make him the monster that he is suppose to be not a mamby pamby wanna be. They did that to Kane and look what happened. Love Joesph Park but damn man… Let your inner Abyss out and transform already.
The Aces and Eights would run screaming into the night and piss themselves if a real biker gang came in. Now that would be something worth seeing. They all talk a mean game but what if they actually had to put up.
Even as dysfunctional as TNA is right now, it is a still better the WWE. It always will be folks cause as I said, as dysfuntional as it is…it is still better them WWE.
Oh and ummmm dump the gut check crap. These wrestlers have been around a long time, the majority of them. They have paid their dues and have earned the right for a tryout but the gut check is not a tryout…it's a "let's show everyone how bad they are!."
TNA needs the young wrestlers and the ones that are hungry, They need talent that can work with the veterns and learn from them. If the judges of the gut check are gonna judge….maybe they should go in and wrestle the tryouts. Show us what they can do before they judge. Al Snow is good and all but he is a little too long in the tooth to actually go in and prove he is worthy of being a judge.
This has been my two cents worth. Just my opinion folks and nothing else. Have a great day and see on the flip side.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley suffered a bruised spinal cord during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. There is no timetable for his return and he is likely out for the remainder of the season. Some players who sustained similar injuries never played football again. Finley will require more tests and more doctor visits before more is known. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy described this injury as "significant."
Fantasy Analysis:
This definitely looks like the end of Finley's season and there are career-ending implications. Fantasy owners should absolutely begin looking immediately for replacements. The Packers will fall back on Andrew Quarless, who only has four receptions for 28 yards this year. Green Bay is already paper-thin at receiver, after having lost Randall Cobb to injured reserve and James Jones looking questionable for Week 8. This injury only puts more pressure on younger players like Jarrett Boykin .

Tool prices vary all over the map. Usually you get what you pay for. Sometimes it is a matter of volume. When you're Radio Shack you can dictate wholesale pricing. If every one of their stores stocks has one wire wrap tool in stock, that still a lot of inventory just to prime the supply chain.
Wire wrapping lost popularity in industry, in part because 0.1" spacing packages are much less common, and in part because of higher clock speeds. But now that there are so many SFE modules and carrier boards now available, maybe the time is ripe for a return of wire wrapping in the DIY world. Businesses can afford to spend $100 on 3 PCBs, but hobbyists often can't. Wire wrapping is a natural way to connect modules together.
Nice write-up! I've been doing stuff like this for over ten years, and even I learned a thing or two, and/or you presented your lessons-learned better than I might have. You are more than half-way to creating an entire course on how to build reliable, maintainable installations for museums and elsewhere. (I know this is about a year old; did you create a course, perchance?)
The diode works like a surge-protector. It is super-important if you are going to drive the motor using a microprocessor, motor controller, or transistor. Without the diode you could easily destroy these. (It's no fun toasting your Arduino). You don't need the diode when driving the motor directly with a battery, or through a switch.
Most microprocessors have relatively weak outputs (20-25mA). The 33 ohm resistor in series is there so the motor doesn't draw too much current from the microprocessor. It's not needed if you are using a motor controller.
Two alkaline batteries in series will will work great. A single lithium "button" cell (e.g. a 2032) will work too, but it won't last as long. No software required.
To make an ROV thruster, all you have to do is remove the impeller, and attach a model-boat propeller to the shaft. I trimmed some of the plastic off to make it more streamlined.
I wish there was something I could to to help you guys out. It much really suck to be a small business being hassled by an organization like SI, that doesn't seem to actually do anything productive. It's a long-shot (they usually take on big, internet-related issues), but perhaps the EFF's (Electronic Freedom Foundation) lawyers can offer some assistance. Anyhow, it looks like you have a pretty good case to defend yourself with. I hope SparkFun's lawyers really socks it to them, while resisting the temptation to actually go to court (big bucks, long time, no fun!). …heck, sue them for filing a frivilous lawsuit… Good luck!
No public wish lists :(

3-prong vs 4-prong dryer plug
OK, this is going to sound strange, but bare with me. :)
We recently moved into a new house and the dryer outlet was a 3-prong outlet. Our old house was a 4-prong outlet. So I buy a new plug and swap them out. No problem. However, we used to put the dryer on 30 minutes and a load of pants would be smokin hot when it was done. With the new 3-prong plug, we set it for 30 mins and they're still damp when it finished. It now takes close to an hour to get the pants dry.
So my question is, is there a difference between plugs? Could a 3-prong plug really cause an increase in drying time? Could it just be coincidence that the dryer started having problems just as we moved? What other factors should I look at to see if it's the cause (vent hose?)?
Check the vent to make sure it is not blocked or kincked.
If the receptacle wired correctly, you will not see any difference in preformance.
agree 240 volt element 3-prong 4- prong same voltage.....apply previous post from jbfan...ben
Ok, will check. Could length of vent hose be an issue? The laundry room is in an area of the house that has the roof sloping down - so the hose goes through the wall, through about 4 feet of "attic" and then outside.
Lenght of run, number of 90's all play a factor.
What should have been done is to run a whole new 10-4 wire back to the panel to match the new 4 prong outlet.
Sounds like you now have it wired for 110 volts not 220.
Ok, not any 90's, but the length of run is much longer than the old house.
How could there be no 90s? That flex crap is a fire hazard. Remove it if that is the case.
check to make sure you don't have a hot and a neutral reversed or something.
How can there be no 90's? I assume you mean angles, am I correct? If so, well it's easy - it goes straight out the wall. If 90's mean something different, please correct me. Pretty sure wires are connected correctly, but I can check again.
If you went from 4 to 3 prong-you *must* reconnect the cabinet ground strap that was disconnected when it was a 4 pronger[shock hazard]..you don't give brand or model # but clothes should never have been "smokin hot" at end of cycle [they all have a cool down period]. if they were- somethings wrong. you can only use the flex hose from dryer to wall-from there it has to be rigid [fire hazard]. easy way to check vent is; disconnect from dryer and run a load of towels-45/60 min...each 90* equals about 5' vent.

I'm going by memory here, but the 4 prong had a ground "built-in" and when I connected the 3 prong, there was a ground wire on the dryer that had to be re-attached. Is that the strap you're referring to?
Brand - LG, don't have model number with me.
Sorry, when I say "smoking hot" I meant nice and warm, fresh from the dryer "hot". Right now, they are coming out cold and a little damp. So we are running it longer than we used to run it.
I've attached a *crude* drawing of the setup. Green is dryer and red is flex hose. It runs through interior wall out to exterior wall and ends. Are you saying that is incorrect? We should have a rigid line in there (which is a fire hazard?)? And the distance here is 10', for arguments sake. So this would be 2 90's?
replace the flex pipe in the wall ASAP. that might be part of your problem too if there is lint build-up.
Ok, so flex from dryer to interior wall, but replace from interior wall to exterior? Replace with the fire hazard pipe? :)
Use rigid metal all the way. Do not use screws. Use metal foil tape. If the problem continues, also check the belt on your washing machine. Perhaps it was jostled during the move, and is not adequately spinning the clothes.
Hmm, ok. Never used the rigid, always the flexible. I'll have to check that out then. Thanks.

Anyone have any reviews good, bad or otherwise of the Rock Island 1911 .45? I have found one for around 400 dollars and I am looking for input. Thanks all!
Why yes it is.... Got to love posting on an IPhone.
Solid pistol, never had any issues with my GI model. Not made in the USA but if you have to have a 1911 on a budget, they are tough to beat.

One member on here I know owns one and told me he would deffinetly reccomend it.
I was looking at these two brands for budget guns
Rock Island .45
Uremax Regent R100 .45
Both have interchangable parts from what I found but I loved the finish of the R100 (All black)
The only things I could see to distinguish them apart was that the finish was better on the R100 other then that both real good guns from what I was told.
Have yet to fire mine yet and plan to put several rounds through it with a few changed (originally planned a hammer swap and trigger swap also going to swap the slide release/stopper)
Got a full size Tactical version a few months ago. Runs excellent. Has some rough edges and not as refined as my Kimber but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. My buddy who shot it, a 1911 guy, was impressed with the budget 1911.
Like all makes and models, you find both good and bad reviews. Most issues are easily resolved. In general, RI has a decent rep.

The price is right on them. They are made in the Philippines - you are probably already aware of that.
They are not a Colt but, they are not Colt priced either.
They do have an investment cast frame as VS a forged frame which is not typically a problem.
The slide is (I believe) an extruded forging so that is good.
They do contain some MIM (Metal Injected Molded) parts...if that is an issue with you.
Those MIM parts would be: slide stop ~ plunger tube ~ sear ~ disconnector ~ & the ejector.
The extractor is NOT MIM so that is also good.
If you do buy one I would (for sure) pop in an aftermarket high quality slide stop...like one by Ed Brown.
The other MIM parts do not seem to be problematic in the Rock Island.
The general consensus is that the folks that own them are pleased with them.

I had no idea of that QKS, Kinda glad I went with the R100 now. lol
This is what sold me on the R100 (If you can see one also it might be a bit more but I love the finishThe R100 is a rendition of the M1911A1 that is visually faithful to the original design. It has a spur hammer, M1911A1-style grip safety, and arched mainspring housing. Offered in .45 ACP only, the R100 has a matte-black finish and comes standard with Hogue® rubber grips. The slide is manufactured from CNC machined bar stock with a low-cut ejection port, the frame is steel investment cast, and the barrel is hammer forged stainless steel—all manufactured to ISO 9001 and NATO AQAP 120 quality standards.
When life gives you lemons, Open a lemonaid buisness.
If I had to flip a coin, I'd take the M1911 over the M1911A1. Just a personal preference in how they feel.

Media release
Date: February 23, 2000
Second Major Award for UVic Entrepreneurship
For the second time in six months, the entrepreneurship program offered by the UVic faculty of business has prevailed in an award competition pitting it against some of the largest and richest American universities.
The U.S. Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship, meeting in San Antonio, Texas, has chosen UVic as this year's winner of its award for undergraduate entrepreneurship programs. UVic's program becomes the first from outside the U.S. to be recognized by the USASBE, whose membership includes entrepreneurship educators from around the world. The runner-up was George Washington University.
Last year, the UVic entrepreneurship teaching team--Drs. Ron Mitchell, Eric Morse, Brock Smith and Mr. Brian McKenzie--were awarded the Innovation in Entrepreneurship Pedagogy Award by the Academy of Management, topping Harvard University. UVic is the first university to win both the USASBE and the Academy of Management awards.
"We've managed to create a real jewel here and we can't let it move south of the border like so many successful high tech ventures," says Dr. Roger Wolff, dean of the UVic faculty of business. "Our real challenge now is to secure financial support from the Canadian entrepreneurial community to keep this program where it belongs, developing the next generation of leaders in new business development."
UVic entrepreneurship offers students a unique, team-taught structure that combines theory with practical experience. It includes an integrated full-immersion structure; venture/venturer assessment software developed by UVic faculty members; and a curriculum that introduces concepts in the order that students would encounter them in planning and starting a new business.
Students also participate in "innovation week"--a concept pioneered at UVic and adopted by other institutions--in which groups are given 10 days to develop and market a product with just $5 of capital.
Dr. Charles Hofer of the University of Georgia, chair of the awards committee and a leading entrepreneurship scholar and educator said the competition was very close. "The George Washington program has a longer track record of success and is much better funded. But the UVic program is innovative and well thought out."
"This is tremendous for a school of our size and young history," says Wolff. "Other institutions have the distinct advantage of greater financial resources and depth of history, which is why this second win is so exciting. But sustained success will depend on our ability to compete financially, as well as academically."

Genre: Advanced Topics
Study of works drawn from a specific literary genre or subgenre. Examples include Confessional Poetry, The Early Novel and Revenge Tragedy.
|Distribution Area
|1 course
Fall Semester informationDeborah Geis
392A: Genre: Adv Topics: Postmodern Drama
We are all told that we live in the postmodern era, but what does "postmodernist" mean as a literary aesthetic--and more specifically, as one applied to the genre of drama? This course treats dramatic works beginning with the off-off Broadway experiments of the early 1960s (the Living Theater, the Open Theater) and continuing up to the present. The types of playwrights we'll examine may include: pre-postmodernists (Brecht, Artaud, Beckett); rethinkers of American play structure (Sam Shepard, Maria Irene Fornes); articulators of African-American aesthetics (Ntozake Shange, Suzan-Lori Parks); transformative and controversial performance artists (Spalding Gray, Anna Deavere Smith); creators of the epic theater of images (Richard Foreman, Robert Wilson); visionary political dramatists (Caryl Churchill, Tony Kushner). Students in this class will be expected to participate actively in discussions and to attend productions whenever possible; since this is an "S" class, there will be required oral presentations in addition to regular writing assignments.

|I just played this course for the first time. I was expecting the run-of-the-mill SC KY course that's nothing more then a few tees & pins on top of a cow pasture. Boy, was I wrong. It may be the most challenging course I've ever played. The greens are true but slope well. The fairways are such it leaves a lot of blind first or second shots to the green. The OB is well marked but fair....just all in all a great course.

Hey all, I know recently I have been sounding more militant than usual. I think because I feel like the system isn't working even for me. I have had a gut full of my school, I am so over it I am contemplating withdrawing for good on Monday. I have such a sour taste in the mouth from last semester and although I have tried to convince myself its not that bad. It actually is.
To top this off, I have been working with a customer towards a couple of solutions for them that they might be able to take, to be told point blank I was too expensive last week. Yet I know that I am a good $6k a year cheaper than what they had.
So I feel nothing wants to go my way that I am going to be forever stuck on this ride. I have had some thoughts about the business and the backup and going to see if I cant re-start the advertising and use web with some local based stuff to give a better kick off but I am unsure of if I can even afford to do that right now.
Im at a cross roads in some ways, if I choose to continue the study then I will head down the road that way and where ever it may take me, the more and more I look the more I realize there isn't much work available there either. If I choose to stay in it and the backup then I need to commit whole heartedly to doing that, and try like crazy to get some kind of outcome for myself there. After all there has been a sizeable commitment equipment wise already.
I feel lost and without a paddle to steer me right. I think I am at one of those points where my decisions now will effect everything for the rest of my life.

Puss in Boots strides towards me, a handsome fellow with a walrus moustache and a rapier on his belt. Next comes Red Riding Hood, a blonde girl with clogs that tap on the floorboards of the stage. Behind her slinks The Wolf, his eyes dark, his haunches quivering with power and desire.
Jasmine the puppeteer looks up from her marionettes. "I like the Cinderella puppet best, she is so beautiful. But at night it's scary in here. If you're rehearsing, there are shadows in the corners and things creak." She folds the wolf away, into the box where he lives, and whispers in his ear: "Good night."
We are standing backstage at the puppet theatre in Steinau, central Germany. It's the town where the Brothers Grimm grew up and heard their first fairy stories. Even today, it's a magical place of half-timbered houses, with a stone fountain in the cobbled square carved with fairytale figures. I am here – with my two children – to enter that world of childhood stories on which we all grew up, in the places where they were found.
This year the region of Hesse is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the death of Jacob Grimm, the elder of the two remarkable brothers who collected German folktales and published them in a series of books from 1812 to 1857. Steinau is the start of Hesse's Fairytale Route, which follows the places where Jacob and Wilhelm lived, and where the tales were set. Their journey, and ours, starts here, at their childhood home – a half-timbered manor house where they lived in the 1790s. Inside, it shows displays on their lives, and the garden has a wooden cage with Hansel trapped inside. My daughter Sarah, aged 11, pokes a stick through the bars to see if he's fat enough to eat. Benjamin, 12, shakes an apple out of the tree above: luckily it is not poisoned.
I scoop them up and drive them off to a farmhouse in a forest. The Brathähnchenfarm Hotel lies up a narrow track in a wood. Its ground floor is a series of low tavern rooms, their rough walls lit by lanterns hanging from blackened beams, their wooden benches softened with sheep's fleeces. A fireplace crackles at one end, where spits of meat turn and smoke. It's the kind of place where stories might be told on a winter's night: or where a scullery maid might sweep cinders from a hearth and earn herself a nickname.
We enter the fairytale world more formally next day, 60 miles north, at the Märchenhaus in Alsfeld. A cathedral bell clangs above a tangle of 16th-century lanes. The Haus has "1628" etched above its wooden door and a well with a frog perched on its rim. Its white walls and brown timbers look like icing sugar and gingerbread. We tiptoe in.
The rooms of this museum are decorated with life-size tableaux from the tales. Statues of Hansel and Gretel creep up to a cottage where an old woman leers by an oven door. Rumpelstiltskin weaves gold thread from sweet-smelling bales of straw. A witch's kitchen features a black cat and a row of herbs above an iron stove. A storyteller eyes us up. "I am a herb woman," she announces. "I grow them in my garden. Stories come from them."
We leave fairly hastily and head for the safety of Snow White's cottage. It's an hour's drive away, across rolling hills and woods, in a village called Bergfreiheit. The cottage fails to impress Benjamin, who says it is a fake. But Sarah is amused by its seven bunk beds, the seven chairs around its kitchen table and the photo we take of ourselves in dwarvish hoods.
But on the edge of the village is a piece of real folklore. The Kupferbergwerk mine is all that's left of an industry that may explain those seven dwarves. Off to work they went, with picks and shovels to dig copper and gold in the wooded hillside here, which is riddled with copper mines from the 16th-century. These were often worked by children, whose short stature gained them a local nickname: "dwarves".
You can go inside a disused shaft that dates back to 1552, with a hard hat and a guide. Wooden pitprops frame rough walls as you descend its long dark tunnel. "This is copper," says the guide, pointing at a smear of green, "and this is Fool's Gold," by a wall of glittering crystals.
Miners here were given special freedoms and the village became a haven for outlaws and runaways. Bergfreiheit translates as "freedom mountain". It's the perfect setting for a tale of escape and transformation, such as Snow White's.
But there is more. A display at the cottage suggests that the model for Snow White was Margarete of Waldeck, the beautiful daughter of a local count, who fled from a jealous stepmother and died in 1554 – of poisoning. Her brother owned these copper mines. Sometime then, a scandal spread of a father who had poisoned his children with bad apples. So this is how the tales emerged, from histories and scare stories woven together.
Margarete's castle of Waldeck is nearby, and that is where we'll stay tonight. These days it's an elegant hotel, a far cry from the humble village. Its towers and battlements rise above a glittering lake and we enter through a Gothic hall. This is the world of princesses and kings, which fairytale figures might tame through marriage or success, but which also oppress them – like Snow White or Cinderella. The heroes of the tales are seldom grand: more often they are woodcutters, peasants, fishermen and their fates impart the wisdom of the common folk.
Next day we descend to the dungeons. "Creepy or what?" says Sarah with a thrill of fear. Among the stone vaults is a torture chamber, a reminder of the world of power around the tales. There's a whipping bench and an executioner's block, a woodblock map of noble estates dated 1575 and a hand-drawn family tree showing several Margaretes. I wonder which one she was.
To get a firmer grip on our history, we drive north to the city of Kassel, where the Grimm brothers moved from Steinau in 1798. They seem always to have lived and worked close to each other, sharing a mission in life. In Kassel, they worked as librarians and published their classic book of Kinder- und Hausmärchen – tales for children and households – in 1812. This was a time of revolution and nationalism. Napoleon had occupied then abandoned the region, leaving behind new ideas about the power of the people and inspiring resistance to invaders. These would coalesce in the brothers' work, with its search for the soul of a people through their stories, and its wish to establish a German identity.
The city houses an elegant museum to the brothers and a special exhibition to mark Jacob's anniversary year. We ramble through the latter, past manuscripts and portraits and first editions of their books. Then we head to the edge of town, looking for an 18th-century roadside inn, the Brauhaus-Knallhütte. Here Jacob and Wilhelm gathered stories from the innkeeper's daughter, Dorothea Viehmann, who heard them from travellers. Still it is a roadside place – next to a ring road, behind a car park, on an industrial estate. But inside it's a delight. There's a brass bar, a long dining room with dark beams and red banquettes, and soft light falling through stained-glass windows of huntsmen and barmaids. We munch sausages contentedly.
Our final stop may or may not have a Grimm connection. But if it doesn't, it should. Sababurg claims to be Sleeping Beauty's castle. Its pepperpot towers from 1334 are surrounded by thickets of roses and magnificent beech woods that would deter many a prince. Inside the ruined great hall, we catch the daily performance of Sleeping Beauty. A young man in red velvet is wooing a pretty blonde, pink roses woven in her waist-length hair.
Walking onto the battlements, I spot a herd of deer on the slope below, like the strangely met animals of myths. Then we unlock a little door at the foot of a tower and clamber up a spiral stair. On a landing is a spinning wheel. At the top are our rooms for the night, each with a four-poster bed. For the castle has been transformed into a wildly romantic hotel.
But that night, as we hop into the great carved beds, the children are spooked by the ruins and the moonlight. We have stepped too far into the imaginative power of the tales. It's a long night, with every creak of ancient wood a fright. I read them the tales, where every ordeal leads to a happy ending.
In the bright light of the morning, we walk around the grounds, which claim to be Europe's oldest zoological gardens, dating from 1571. Roaming free are herds of deer, muskox and wild boar. At the far end we spot a creature that haunts the tales, as once he haunted the untamed woods of Europe: a wolf. He stares at us. His eyes are black and burning. He is the fear we meet in fairy stories – and learn to overcome.
Driving away from the castle, we stop in an endless stand of fir trees. There are wild blackberries among long grass, pine needles on raw earth, and rows of trees stretching away forever. We seem tiny in this world. The branches are crooked fingers, clutching out at us. We are children among dark powers. Once these forests stretched across northern Europe and Asia, and they figure still – in fairytales, in Shakespeare, in Hollywood movies – as a place of challenge and of change. Then Sarah picks a blackberry and Benjamin lobs a pine cone at me, and we are innocents once more, protected by the joy of our journey and the wisdom of what we have seen.

The timing seemed ideal with the Cardinals and Chicago Cubs in the midst of a heated weekend series, as Cairo first came to the Cardinals after having been waived by the Chicagoans. The Cardinals plucked him off the wire on August 10, 2001. He would remain with the club until declaring free agency after the 2003 season.
Cairo signed with the New York Yankees, where he played in 2004, 2006 and 2007, interrupted by a season across town with the 2005 edition of the New York Mets.
Overall, Cairo has hit .267 with a .315 on-base percentage during his 12-year career. Defensively, he has appeared at six different positions, including all four infield stops as well as the corner outfield positions.
This season, the versatile Cairo batted .252 (27-for-107) with seven doubles and 10 RBI in 54 games for the New York Yankees. He was designated for assignment on August 7 and eventually released on Wednesday.
The native of Venezuela was originally signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1990 and made his big-league debut with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1996 at the age of 22. At the time, he was the youngest player in the Majors.
From there, Cairo moved to the Chicago Cubs (1997) and Tampa Bay Devil Rays (1998-2000), before returning to the Cubs for the 2001 season. He also spent time with the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics organzations.
The 33-year-old will report to the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds on Wednesday.

USC Women's Basketball, with New Head Coach Chris Gobrecht, Prepares for Opening of PracticeLOS ANGELES -- The USC women's basketball team, under new head coach Chris Gobrecht and coming off an appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year, will begin its quest for a return to the postseason when it opens practice on Saturday (Oct. 18). USC finished 20-9 overall in 1996-97, 13-5 in the Pac-10, good for third place. But the bulk of the team, which included All-American and WNBA-bound Tina Thompson, All-Pac-10 and ABL-bound Michelle Campbell as well as 3-year starting guard Erica Jackson, is gone. In addition, 2-sport star Antoinette Polk, a would-be sophomore guard, has decided to concentrate on volleyball. That means that Gobrecht will be relying on a new base of players as she begins the process of turning the Women of Troy into one of her patented defense-oriented, up-tempo style squads. Joining Gobrecht on the new staff are first-year coaches Stacy McIntyre (Kentucky '94), Erika Lang (Florida '95) and Traci Nemechek (Metropolitan State College at Denver '87).
OUTLOOK -- In Chris Gobrecht, USC welcomes back as head coach one of its trailblazing alumni who played basketball for the Women of Troy in the 1970s and has returned to lead USC into the 21st century. A 2-time Pacific-10 Conference Coach of the Year at Washington (she led the Huskies to 9 NCAA tournament berths in her 11 years there), Gobrecht spent last season at Florida State. She inherits a team that was dominated by a senior class last year and will have to make a new name for itself in 1997-98, built around a group of young -- but talented -- players.
A team that once relied on its post players for the bulk of its scoring -- and leadership -- will now look for more balance, namely from junior guard Kristin Clark and returning junior forwards Adrain Williams and Jodi Parriott. Clark is a returning starter and Williams and Parriott split the starting chores at the 3-position last year. Parriott and Williams, however, will miss the first part of the season recovering from ankle and knee surgeries, respectively. In addition to the absence of Williams and Parriott, USC will have to make do without redshirt sophomore guard Erica Mashia, who missed last season recovering from a hip injury. She is still bothered by the injury and will be out indefinitely.
That leaves the onus on Clark and a young cast of players to hold the fort down until Parriott and Williams return. Between the change in staff, the change in personnel and a flurry of injuries, Gobrecht and the Women of Troy have a stiff challenge at hand, but one that the coach is looking forward to.
"The big issue for us as a program is dealing with an entirely new coaching style," said Gobrecht, who took over for Fred Williams. "Our players have to step up and take over. They've leaned for so long on Tina Thompson, Michelle Campbell and Erica Jackson. It's one thing to be out of their shadow but it's another to carry the burden that goes with that.
"Our overall size concerns me. I am worried about our ability to rebound. But the positives far outweigh the negatives. It is an athletic team, a team that will play with a lot of energy, how I like to play. They are capable of the work ethic and team attitude that is necessary for that. I really like them."
Clark may be the best player suited to Gobrecht's style of play. The 5-7 guard is USC's leading returning scorer (11.4) and is coming off a breakout season in which she earned 1997 All-Pac-10 honorable mention honors.
She led USC in steals (2.6) and had at least 2 nabs in 23 of 29 games last year. She led the team in 3-point percentage (41-of-114, 36.0%) and tied for team-high in 3-pointers made (41), canning 6 treys in one game and 5 in another.
Said Gobrecht: "Kristin is a player who really came into her own as a sophomore. I give her a lot of credit for finding her place among all of those older players who had been there for so long. It's exciting to have a player like Kristin who won't back down from a challenge, who is fighting for time. Kristin will fit great with how I do things. I love her ability to shoot the ball and her hard-nosed, tenacious play."
Gobrecht had hoped Mashia would be the complement to Clark. A Pac-10 All-Freshman team selection in 1996, Mashia averaged 11.8 points per game her first year, making 38-of-87 3-point attempts for a 43.7% clip, the best season mark ever at USC. She also set the standard for free throw accuracy, making a record 84.4% (65-of-77) of her foul shots (including a Pac-10 record 33 in a row).
Gobrecht sees a tremendous future for Williams, who at 6-4 can play either forward position or center. She has started a combined 29 games in her first 2 seasons, posting career averages of 8.8 points and 5.7 rebounds in only 21 minutes per game. A future starter when healthy, Gobrecht expects Williams to grow into a more dominant role on the team once she returns to playing condition.
Said Gobrecht: "Adrain is a terrific talent. She's intelligent and graceful and has excellent size, speed and quickness. I believe she is a player who more than any other on our team can dominate. But I think it is our job to help her grow into that role. More than anything else out of Adrain, we want to see the determination to make these next 2 years be everything they should be for a player of her ability. It's a shame we lose her for the preseason and we will have to play that much harder to make up for her absence."
In addition to Clark, a trio of guards will get plenty of opportunities to contribute in Gobrecht's aggressive style of play: sophomores Kiyoko Miller and Kim Clark and senior Shannon Kartz.
Of the 3, the 5-8 Miller saw the most time last year, playing 13.3 minutes per game as a reserve guard. She figures to serve in the same capacity again. Miller, as fundamentally sound as any player on the team, averaged 2.6 points and 1.2 rebounds last year but will likely add to those totals as her role expands.
Said Gobrecht: "Kiyoko will represent another dimension for us. She plays a lot tighter to the vest. She's solid. She comes from a great program and has an excellent base of fundamentals and will be a good player for us."
Kim Clark, the twin sister of Kristin, is, like her sister, an excellent athlete and an aggressive player. Kim, also 5-7, is a 2-sport athlete at USC who will join the basketball team after soccer season is over (she is a starter on the soccer team and is one of the top players on the west region). After joining the basketball team last year, she played in 17 games, averaging 1.4 points and 8.4 minutes of action an outing and providing a defensive spark every time she was on the court.
Said Gobrecht: "I have high expectations for Kim. She is such an exceptional soccer player, it's easy to defer to her soccer. We need to challenge her to be a basketball player of the highest quality. She is capable of that. The expectation shouldn't falter because she is a great soccer player. She's a fighter and I really want that on the floor."
The return of Kartz, 5-8, will add needed depth at the guard spot, especially while Kim Clark finishes out soccer season. Kartz missed her junior season while concentrating on academics and is expected to resume her role as a defensive stopper who always brings hustle to the floor.
Said Gobrecht: "If Shannon makes a commitment to the team and her studies, it will be good to have her back. She's a player who will get in your face."
The Women of Troy have the potential to be strong in the frontcourt, but will have to rely on a host of newcomers in addition to the returning group of post players.
With Parriott and Williams out, 6-2 sophomore forward Tiffany Washington will get an opportunity to start. A top reserve off the bench last season, Washington averaged 3.3 points and 3.2 rebounds in only 11.2 minutes per game. A strong player with a knack for tough rebounds and loose balls, Washington adds an intimidating presence to the court as well as an ability to score.
Said Gobrecht: "I anticipate some really great things from Tiffany. There's always a place on my team for an aggressive rebounder. She moves great and she'll do really well in my system. She's aggressive and plays hard and is a good athlete. I have big expectations for her. We'll need her a lot."
USC also needs Parriott, but will have to do without her at least through the end of December. The 6-2 forward was USC's fourth-leading scorer (8.5) last year and is the only returning player besides Kristin Clark who reached double figures in 3-point baskets (14). Parriott is the model small forward who lends an excellent shooting touch with an ability to rebound. She will be missed in the early going at both ends of the court.
Said Gobrecht: "Jodi's great quality is that she believes she should be out there playing. I really like her confidence and the never-back-down attitude on the floor. Her injury, plus Williams', will set us back. We don't have a lot of size and she'll miss the preseason."
USC will get some frontline help, however, from a recruiting class of 3 forwards: freshmen Tashara Carter and Whitney Houser and junior Adria Sneed, a junior college transfer. The injuries to Parriott and Williams make the trio's quick development that much more important.
Carter was a 1997 USA Today Honorable Mention All-American, All-CIF Southern Section Division III Player of the Year and first-team selection and the Daily Breeze Player of the Year as a senior at Bishop Montgomery High in Torrance, Calif. A former prep teammate of Washington's, the 6-0 Carter, who averaged 17.0 points and 10.0 rebounds as a prep senior, provides athleticism and solid 3-point marksmanship.
Said Gobrecht: "Tashara can be a great one. She has the potential to develop into not only a great open-court offensive player, but she might also be able to develop into something my best teams have had -- a defensive stopper who has good size. They can be an intimidating presence and it wouldn't surprise me if she could have a future in that kind of critical role. I hope she can help out on the boards, too."
Sneed comes to USC as an established rebounder from the junior college ranks. A 1997 J.C. All-State first team selection, Sneed averaged 15.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game as a 6-1 sophomore at Ventura (Calif.) College and led the Pirates to their second consecutive California J.C. State Championship. She prepped at Juanita High School in Kirkland, Wash.
Said Gobrecht: "Adria is a late bloomer. She came into her own at Ventura College. I'm glad she was brought on board. Every post player on the team is important."
The 6-0 Houser, who prepped at Laguna Hills (Calif.) High, is a 2-time All-Pacific Coast League (1996-1997) first team selection and a 1997 All-CIF Division II second team selection. She helped lead Laguna Hills to the 1997 CIF State and Southern Section Division II titles. She will add depth at the forward position but can also play at guard.
Said Gobrecht: "You've got to like a player like Whitney who can play the guard spot with her size. She strikes me as a winner. She finds a way to win."
So does Gobrecht, who is looking forward to her return to the Pac-10 after a year in the ACC. She returns to a conference whose landscape has shifted in the short time she has been gone.
"Some new faces will emerge in the Pac-10," Gobrecht said. "In some ways, the overall strength will be better and the balance will be better. You won't have a seasoned, veteran team like Stanford that was together for a few years. But you'll have a lot of teams that will play at a high level.
"I don't think the gap will be that great between the top 3 teams and the bottom 3 teams. It will be a very short distance. Who shows up to play every night will decide games."
USC opens play with exhibition home games on Nov. 9 and 15 before beginning the regular season on Nov. 25 with Long Beach State at the Sports Arena.
Included in the non-conference schedule for the Women of Troy are trips to Lawrence, Kan., and Boise, Idaho, for tournaments and the Pac-10/Big East Challenge (featuring Seton Hall and Rutgers) hosted by UCLA.
USC opens the Pac-10 season with home games against Arizona State and Arizona on Jan. 2 and 4 at the Lyon Center.
Comments from USC women's basketball coach Chris Gobrecht
"We're a little hurt right now and we're short on numbers and there's a temptation to have lower expectations. The reality is, the expectations never change. The degree of difficulty is much harder and right now it's about an 8.7. The expectations are to win and the reality is that we're hurting, but that doesn't change the expectations.
"We started off with a roster of about 12 and it's been thinning ever since. Erica Mashia is not in a position to play. She has a really serious condition with her hip. The question you've got to ask is, 'Is it good for her long-term health?' So right now, it doesn't look like she'll be a part of this team.
"Jodi Parriott is recovering from a knee injury. She's doing fine, but we're not going to have her until at least December. Adrain Williams is doing well and hopefully she'll start her rehab soon. Antoinette Polk is someone else we'll miss. She's doing really well with volleyball and right now has decided to stick with volleyball and concentrate on academics. Kim Clark is another 2-sport player and she's doing really well with the soccer team and we won't get her back until soccer season is through. Both of them are doing really well with their teams. I'm so proud of our top 10 USC teams. But we're going to need Kim after she gets back. That's where we are right now. Watch us grow in numbers and watch us get better.
"But this team is tough. They've done a good job with the conditioning program. They've yet to find their limits. They might think they have, but they haven't. Conditioning is a huge part of what I believe in and they all have a great attitude about that. I really enjoy this group. They believe in USC and what they're capable of doing. They've worked really hard. We're trying to go from a blister to a callous. You've got to work past the blister to become a callous and we're still trying to become the callous. It's a team that's got a long way to go in finding itself. It's also not very big and we are still trying to find out about the intangibles.
"If we were healthy, I think we could take a run at the title. We've got the basic makeup to be good. There's no shortage of aggressiveness and competition.
(On Pac-10) "Stanford has really had a chokehold on the conference and the other teams have got to quit rolling over and dying when they get on the court. The biggest loss for them is losing Jamila Wideman. Arizona has its entire starting lineup back. There's a big difference between making the tournament for the first time in a while and going far in it. But they have a lot of seniors and there is nothing like having a bunch of seniors. Washington will be very good. There are a lot of good players out of my last recruiting class there like Jamie Redd and Amber Hall and Gena Pelz. They're very good and there's a lot of tradition there. UCLA is also immensely talented. They've got a whole lot of horsepower. Oregon is also mean and tough.
(On filling void of 3 departed senior) "That's something we as coaches need to take account for to help this team learn how to do it. Those seniors were not only great players, but dominant personalities. That's why I give Kristin Clark so much credit for finding her niche. She knew that she had to step it up and she did.
(On recruiting) "We think we're doing well. We've got one verbal so far and have some really good players coming in. But our players have also been great recruiters for us. They love this school and believe in this school and they have to believe in USC to do such a great job."

My family has owned this beautiful property for over 30 years! I live in Santa Clara, California with my husband and two teenage boys. I was born in Hawaii 51 years ago (my father was in the army). When I was 3 years old my family moved to San Jose, California. Every year we would vacation in Hawaii, exploring its tropical beauty. I have a BS in engineering from UC Berkeley and a MS in engineering from Lehigh University (Pennsylvania). For 17 years I was an engineer here in "Silicon Valley". Now, I am a Boy Scout leader, community volunteer, and full time mom. I take great pride in managing KKSRC Townhouse #5, personally making sure that this property is maintained beautifully and remains a Hawaiian treasure. I take the time to deal with renters personally, making sure that every detail is taken care of so that you have a wonderful vacation in paradise!

Nine cases of paragonimiasis have been encountered in Laotian Hmong immigrants from Camp Ban Vinai in Thailand. Symptoms included cough, hemoptysis, and fever. Chest x-ray films showed segmental infiltrates and pleural effusions, often bilateral. The clinical presentation mimics tuberculosis. All Hmong patients with chronic infiltrates and pleural disease in whom tuberculosis has not been proven should have parasitologic and serologic evaluation to exclude paragonimiasis.

This is an absolutely brilliant tent! We recently purchased it as we are downsizing from an eight man Vango tent now (retired after many years use). I cannot believe how much room there is inside. Plenty of room to stand up without hitting your head! Loads of space for 3 to sleep in comfort. Its easy to put up. Took me and my ten year old daughter about 25 mins. And best of all it didnt let in a drop of rain. Very important in the west of Ireland during a downpour in Achill! I would highly recommend it. And as always camping world delivered on time without any hassle whatsoever. Thanks

The Carolina M is a bit heavy to carry around. It is easy to assemble it specially because the instruction video is very good.
The interior is just great, the "living room" can easily fit a table for 4 persons and you do feel cosy inside.
Had put it up here in Denmark - it was quite cold outside, but the insulation of the tent is great - with a small tent heater it was a perfect evening with mu friends.

BLUE JACKETS 5, COYOTES 2: Defenseman Nikita Nikitin snapped a tie at 9:12 of the third period and Derick Brassard created breathing room 4 1/2 minutes later as Columbus handed Phoenix its second straight loss.
Captain Rick Nash scored two goals and set up another, Colton Gillies added an empty-net tally and Steve Mason made 30 saves for the Blue Jackets, who improved to 4-1-1 in their last six road games.
With the contest tied, R.J. Umberger won an offensive-zone faceoff in the right circle and got the puck back to Nikitin, whose shot from the point caromed off Phoenix defenseman Michal Rozsival's stick and past Mike Smith.
Brassard, who also had an assist, made it 4-2 less than five minutes afterward as he beat Smith from the left circle after Nash pounced on a turnover behind the Coyotes' net by All-Star defenseman Keith Yandle and made a nifty pass.
Nash singlehandedly gave Columbus a 2-0 lead, scoring his 23rd and 24th goals of the season.
With the Blue Jackets shorthanded, Nash received a flip pass from Derek MacKenzie at center ice, skated around Ray Whitney for a breakaway and beat Smith high to the glove side from the left faceoff circle with 3:39 remaining in the first period.
Less than 5 1/2 minutes into the second, Nash raced in on another breakaway and slipped in a backhander while being harassed from behind by Coyotes defenseman Chris Summers and crashing into Smith. The tally was Nash's sixth in seven games and capped his fourth two-goal effort of the campaign.
Phoenix battled back later in the period to forge a tie. Whitney converted a backhand pass from the slot by captain Shane Doan at 8:19 and Lauri Korpikoski buried a rebound in front with just over six minutes left in the session.
