Etienne's ability to win the ball back alongside Paulinho was a real feature of the performance as we continually put Swansea under pressure in the central areas.
But Etienne also has an eye for goal as he showed in the first half when he fizzed a shot from 30 yards at Michel Vorm and then glanced a header just wide.
In the end, Roberto Soldado's penalty was enough and just reward for an impressive performance that reaped 21 efforts at goal to Swansea's seven.
"That was a very good performance from Capoue, great to see him out there protecting the back four," said Andre.
"That shows signs of a player who is mature, has great technical qualities and it able to recover so many balls that give the team possession and the chance to attack.
"At the moment everything is okay, the shape was tremendous, the central defenders, Capoue protecting, Paulinho's workrate was immense, everyone has been working hard."

Grand Valley State won the 10-team event with a final total of two-over-par 578 after besting second-place Saginaw Valley State in a playoff. The Cardinals claimed two of the top three individual finishers, which included medalist Adam Miller's 140-stroke total. Lewis matched Ferris State's team score to tie for third and Wayne State captured fifth place as a result of compiling a 591 score.
Senior Jeff Carlson tied for 18th place at 146 (73-73=146, +2). Freshman Kurt Valley shot a 26th-place tying 148 (78-70=148, +4) in his first collegiate match while senior Brody Moreland posted a 151 score (79-72=151, +7) to finish 36th.

Taking part as non-scoring individuals were sophomore Eric Dovre and freshman Eric Lilleboe. In his first match as a Bulldog, Dovre claimed a tie for 12th place after notching a 145 (74-71=145, +1) while Lilleboe produced a 148-stroke total (75-73=148, +4) to gain a five-way tie for 26th in his initial appearance at the collegiate level.

"Now some think that we are made good by nature, others by habituation, others by teaching." -Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics
What are your thoughts on group work?
"In all honesty, while group work has the potential to be beneficial, in most cases students don't like it. In my experience, it usually ends up with one or two people doing all the work." Morgan Pellerin
"I do not like group work. Usually one person ends up doing all the work and it's not fair to them. When others don't do their share of the work those who have tried their best still get their grade compromised." Kayla Millett
"Personally, I hate it. I don't like relying on other people to be responsible for my success as an individual. But I do understand group work merits: that is what you have to do in the real world, but I would stress to professors not to assign a lot of group projects." Amy Was
"Group work and group projects are good if the rules of the group and expectations of each member of the group are met. When the group is able to divide up tasks, that is what makes group work the best." Peter Young
Students often dread group work even when they understand its value in learning collaborative skills and in applying theory to practical issues. If you want to use group work as a teaching technique (or need to because collaborative learning is a course objective), try to apply very rigorous organizational rules.
Have different kinds of graded assignments and different opportunities for learning so students with varied learning styles can maximize their efforts.

Excerpts from student nominating submissions
"Chatlos demonstrates understanding and acceptance of all his students. He pushes his students to perform at their best level and is always open to others' opinions and interpretations."
"Dr. Chatlos is willing to explain things for a second time if the class does not understand it the first time around. He wants everyone to do well."
"He cares about his students and always listens to what they have to say. He's willing to change his lessons around to make the class more enjoyable for students." Jon has been nominated for this award several times, and the SCTE selected him on the basis of students' repeated affirmations of his respect for his students and interest in their success.
CTE says...
Jon seems to have a very full sense of the term office hours, as he meets with student regularly outside of the classroom (sometimes in the Learning Center) to keep the communities of learning on pace. Jon can use his CTE Teacher of Month coffee mug to keep his hands warm until spring actually arrives.
Like the other SCTE nominees and awardees for Teacher of the Month, Jon has a focus on his students' learning that doesn't begin nor end at the classroom door. Students comment about his engagement with them and his genuine desire to nurture the learning process. As he puts it, "I'm interested in fostering active learning in my students, both by building communities of student learners and by coaching and mentoring individual students."

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Though downtown Fullerton is one of the Southland's prime drinking thoroughfares and features lots of opportunities to raise a glass in chic, finely appointed bars, it's also surrounded by one of Orange County's best horse-riding, hiking and mountain-biking trails: the Fullerton Loop. Though not super-technical, the loop is long and physically taxing. Many outdoor enthusiasts prefer to start and end their weekend ride at the parking lot of the West Justice Center. And at the end of a long hump in the hot sun, but before loading the ol' stump-jumper into the truck (or the rack on top of the Prius, whichever), the weary rider will make the quick mile ride to Ziing's Bistro & Bar. The $8 lettuce wraps make for a light-yet-delicious denouement to a grueling ride. On the smoking patio in back, you can relax your weary muscles and do some people-watching while enjoying a large bowl of ground chicken that has been cooked via wok and mixed with carrots, onions and small, crispy strips of fried dough. Pile the mix onto a large, springy leaf of lettuce and drizzle a little of the sweet soy glaze over the top. The fried crisps add a delightful crunchy surprise to the supple snap of the lettuce. $$
If your own-of-town guests are keen on experiencing quintessential Orange County, take them to the Beachcomber. Here, they'll marvel at a prototypical OC scene: brunching trophy wives toasting one another on snatching deep-pocketed sugar daddies. Oh, the view of the beach is nice, too; reservations for the summer season are booked fast. What surrounds the beachside shack eatery is a post card come to life. The food is hardly the point. But if it is true that a hot dog eaten at the Grand Canyon tastes as good as a steak, the same concept applies here. The sunsets, the idyllic beach huts and the crashing surf cresting on sand just steps from the entrance are seasonings more essential than salt. $$
Dropped daintily on Pacific Coast Highway above Newport Bay is SOL Cocina, an elegant establishment dedicated to bringing the flavors of Baja to Orange County. But this is cuisine with a conscience. The environmentally friendly menu boasts low-fat, healthy items, and almost everything is gluten-free. The chefs use only sustainable fish and humanely raised beef and pork—and many dishes can be made vegetarian or even vegan. Try one of their exquisitely crafted margaritas (we love the cucumber jalapeño), any of about a dozen different salsas and definitely the taco vampiro. Snag a seat at one of the copper tables on the patio for a luxurious view of the boats, docks and houses you'll never afford. We recommend going at sunset, when the water turns as gold as the tequila in your glass. $$$
What haven't we said about Dave Emery that hasn't already been said? The man is an all-around crazy person—and we mean that with the utmost respect. He insists on making everything he serves at Sol Del Sur Bistro from scratch and doing it all himself, with no assistance from a sous chef or even a dishwasher. All evidence suggests he is self-taught and loves to cook just as most people like to breathe. He has working knowledge of Italian, Japanese, French and Spanish cuisines, gleaned from his travels and bolstered by the undying curiosity of a child. The menu he attempts is formidable and frenetic. When the small room he calls a restaurant is even half-full, he can be easily overwhelmed with orders. He creates a list of a dozen or so appetizers, traipsing borders and using uncommon ingredients, such as crosnes, aji amarillo and uni. His entrées are bold, complex and, at times, beguiling. As of this writing, he is serving grilled strawberries with lamb shanks braised in lavender and honey; by the time you read this, though, that dish will be history. Emery is never satisfied: He thinks of new ways to challenge himself and his customers; and he's been known to introduce a new dish one night and jettison it the next. Don't even try to convince him to edit his menu down or ask him to be less ambitious. We like our mad scientist just the way he is. $$$
Former Haven Gastropub partner Jeff Hall throws down the gauntlet with Chapter One, a challenge to not only his former colleagues, but also his neighbors at Santa Ana's burgeoning restaurant scene. The bar pours old-man drinks with equal jiggers of expertise and knowledge of the mixological arts. It's also up-to-date on the local beers. Meanwhile, chef Oge Dalken, a culinary raconteur in a city full of them, brings humor and lightness to dishes that are as fun to eat as they are to order. A beef culotte inspires other chefs to do better with bacon-wrapped steaks. And for a dessert called "Milk & Cereal," the breakfast food of our youths is deconstructed and reinterpreted: Panna cotta becomes the milk, and crispy Greek kataifi plays cereal. You have to order it to get the joke and realize that the culinary punch line is as delicious as the setup. $$
Old Vine is no stranger to these pages, having won Best Restaurant in 2009—and it has broadened its ambitions since then, hosting wine nights and even leading culinary tours of Italy. But the attention of brothers Mark and Brandon McDonald to the homefront hasn't suffered: You still see Brandon every morning through night, guiding customers old and new through the menu, maybe suggesting an omelet or the seasonal four-course chef's menu, and with a memory of the café's hundreds of wines that borders on That's Incredible! territory. Mark is almost as present on the floor, even though he's manning the kitchen, trading jokes with customers and making sure their experiences are always spectacular. Such attention to detail doesn't come out of economic survival or even hipster irony, but rather the McDonalds' honest-to-goodness enthusiasm for great food. They are redeeming their surname in the food industry. $$$

In general I like it a lot. Does not dry hands, makes skin softer. By some reason, my hands became even whiter. Does not expect however that the soap is very concentrated, the bottle ends quickly. I find it a bit expensive for the quantity provided.
Gentle to hand

This is a good product that contains decyl glucoside and coco-glucoside. What are they? SO many chemicals that the average consumer knows NOT what they are. I will research this to find out what this company is sneaking into this organic hand soap. My middle name I will change to "RESEARCH" because I spend so many hours trying to know and understand the TRUTH. One should not take for granted that if a product is organic then it is ALL good. It might be, but it might not be ALL good! Do some fact finding for yourself. You will not be sorry, but you may become disgusted at what you find...
Product is good but disapointed on delivery

I ordered 3 bottles of this items and found that one bottle is opened and packed with zip lock bag. The rest items also wet with this soap. This is my first time order and I feel very disappointed.
Nice scent!

Nice scent, foams and cleanses well. It doesn't feel drying.

Video of a contestant on 'Wheel of Fortune' is quickly going viral - but not because of how impressive his performance was. Julian Batts, a freshman at Indiana University, repeatedly failed to solve puzzles in an embarrassing fashion.
The most memorable blunder of the show was when he landed on the much sought after million-dollar spot, but incorrectly solved the puzzle, which had every letter displayed on the board.
The fumbles continued for two more rounds, as you'll see in the video below. If you're viewing this on a mobile device, copy and paste this link into your browser: http://bit.ly/1eHo4gc

In a recent post I shared with you how different microbes come together to breathe as one. In some cases, all it takes is the presence of conductive minerals such as magnetite to facilitate the exchange of metabolic electrons between two microbial partners. This allows the team to catalyze a redox reaction (for example, acetate oxidation coupled to nitrate reduction) that each organism could not have been able to achieve individually. The role of conductive minerals in such interspecies electron transfer is a good example of the diverse strategies that microorganisms have evolved to compete for the available electron acceptors, especially those with highest affinity for electrons (the most electropositive ones), as more energy is generated from the reactions.

As an oil-worker in the Middle East, he learned to cook from the books of Elizabeth David and Jane Grigson, and was inspired by the photography of Robert Freson and Tessa Treagar. In 1990, he hung up his desert boots and picked up a camera, and his work now appears in magazines, books, and advertising campaigns.

No Hunger Game Part 3, The Faces Of Those In Need
NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA - Poverty in America is a mainstream issue. According to the 2012 Census Report. The number of poor people in America stands nearly at 50 million.
From students to seniors, poverty is affecting a range of people. In part three of our four-part series, No Hunger Game we find out how local food distributions are helping many make it to the end of the month.
Poverty is not only affecting the homeless man down the street, but all kinds of people. From the warehouse to the hands of those in need, the bread of the mighty food bank visits neighborhoods and passes out bags filled with food, for many a bag filled with blessings.
The Bread of the Mighty Food Bank distributed about 6.1 million pounds of food from 2012 to 2013. They distribute food at all kinds of sites across five counties. One of those sites is the Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church, they feed the poor every Thursday. They call it, Gainesville Harvest. For over a decade, Robert Ayer has volunteered his Thursday mornings. "God gave his only son so that we may live, in the spirit of Jesus Christ our savior we try to live the presets that god has given us and doing the things we think god will be happy and blessing us for," Ayer said.
The type of people that take advantage of the food bank vary. Meet Sharron Key for example, a single working mom. "When you're trying to pull bills and buy food it is really costly and now everything just went up and everybody is trying to make ends meet," Key said.
She's not the only one, stretching her paycheck to keep groceries in the fridge. So are college students like Nikkia Jerrido. "Me applying for snap has been very beneficial throughout my college career. I would say with working part-time, going to school full-time… it has really helped me tremendously," Jerrido said.
She became an intern for the "bread of the mighty food bank" to help low income students like herself, apply for food stamps-snap. Michael Demers, the Food Bank's Development Coordinator, says government help is not enough.
"The government's role as it sees itself right now is to supplement, that which isn't being received by people. It doesn't see itself as the core responsible entity to make sure that people are fed enough over the course of a week or a month or a year," Demers said.
According to the national food bank network Feeding America, North Central Florida has about 150 thousand people who are food insecure. "And what we're finding is that we're not going to be able to address the needs for the poor unless we find a way of collaborating rather than competing and that we have to come together in partnerships to address the need," Demers said.
He truly believes the community's joint effort can end this desperate demand.

Head Coach Sean Kugler Signing Day Transcript
Feb. 5, 2014
Coach Kugler on the qualities they looked for in players off the field
We're extremely excited about this 2014 class. I just want the El Paso fans to know that before we ever even turned on the film for these young men, we talked to coaches, opposing coaches, people within that school. We wanted to figure out what type of character these young men had before we even turned on the film. The other criteria we had was that we needed to have a transcript in hand to make sure that these guys were on the academic track as far as progress wise that shows that they have a burning desire to get a degree. Again, that was before we ever even turned on the film.
Coach Kugler on the qualities they looked for in players on the field
When we turned on the film, what we were looking for was production. Productive players. Guys that made plays because if you make plays in high school, you're probably going to make plays in college. We tried to stay away from "potential players." Guys that just have "potential" but haven't shown it on film. These guys can all play, and I think you'll see that when we show the highlight film. The other thing that a premium was on was getting our kind of guys. I think everybody in this day and age gets enamored with `this guy's a five star, this guy's a four star, this guy's a two star.' I'll give you an interesting tidbit. In the Super Bowl on Sunday, there were more two start, three star and unranked players playing for both teams than combined four and five stars for both teams. The best of the best playing the best of the best were comprised of unranked and two and three star players. In my mind a lot of that stuff, I know it's exciting for the fans, but in my mind it is kind of BS. We're looking for guys that can play football and do it on film that will translate into college.
Coach Kugler on his thoughts when he woke up today
I woke up this morning and reality kind of hit. Thirty years ago today I signed a letter of intent to become a UTEP Miner. I'm starting to really feel my age.
Coach Kugler on the class overall
We went into this class with a plan, and I can't really thank Brian Natkin enough for keeping us on track with that plan. He's as cut and dry when it comes to recruiting as it gets. We wanted to sign mainly high school players. We signed 20 high school players, and three junior college players that are here on campus right now, in addition to another high school player that graduated early. We signed 12 offensive players and 11 defensive players. The focus of this group was going to be recruiting lineman. We signed 11 lineman, seven on the defensive side of the ball and four on the offensive side of the ball. We added much needed size and toughness. We signed 13 players from Texas, and we made a commitment the first day we took this job to focus on El Paso first. I think everybody can agree we signed the best players in El Paso last year, and I'm pretty confident we signed the best players in El Paso this year. We signed five players from California, two from New York and we went all over for recruiting in just trying to find the best players we could. We signed one from Ohio, one from Wisconsin and one from New Mexico.
Coach Kugler on the highlights for each player in the class
I'm not going to read the entire bio for each person we've signed but just some of the bullet points. I think you'll see we signed productive players.
Starting the class is Stephen Forester. He's a defensive end/linebacker. I wouldn't be surprised if we see this young man playing linebacker here. He started all four seasons at Dallas Christian High School. He recorded 99 tackles (71s/28a), 26 tackles for loss, 15 sacks, seven forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and five blocked kicks during his senior season alone. This guy was an All-State player. He was an All-State defensive lineman and academic All-State.
Alex Villareal, who is a junior-college lineman that we signed from Northeast Oklahoma, is 6-4, 300 pounds and he gives us some much needed size inside. He's a three-star recruit on Rivals.com. Coming out of high school he signed with Oklahoma State where he had a very productive freshman season. He played the entire sophomore season with a torn pectoral muscle. We have signed him. He's had surgery and is going to be healthy and ready to go for us in June. He's a special talent with a special motor, and he's an outstanding young man.
Jason Fao is a nose guard from Long Beach, Calif., who played at a very storied program in Long Beach Poly High School. He's 6-0, 300 pound nose guard with a motor. His nickname is "Pops." We call him "Pops." He's a four-year defensive starter for Long Beach Poly. His first two years he played middle linebacker. I think that tells you something about his athleticism for a 300-pounder. He posted 97.5 tackles (79s/18.5a), including 28 for loss and 8.5 sacks during his senior season. For his career he finished with 207.5 tackles, 52 tackles for loss and 21.5 sacks as a nose guard. This guy plays with tempo and energy. He was also utilized at linebacker and on offense he was used as a lead blocker as a fullback on goal line situations. He's ranked the 72nd nose guard prospect in the nation and he was the Defensive Lineman of the Year in his division.
Mike Sota, a young man we had visit this past weekend, we are excited about getting him. He's got needed size to play defensive end or defensive tackle. He's 6-4, 260 pounds, and he's got a frame to put on a lot more weight. He tallied 69 tackles (50s/19a), 13 tackles for loss, six sacks (37 yards for loss), six quarterback hurries and six pass breakups. The pass breakups come from when they played him as a standup outside linebacker and dropped him off into coverage. He's extremely athletic and had a very productive junior year. He was also named his league's lineman of the year out there in California.
Joseph Kraemer is a defensive end, 6-3 245 pounds from the Dayton area, Kettering, Ohio. This is in one game. He notched four solo tackles, two tackles for loss and three sacks during a postseason 35-21 win over Wyoming in the 2013 Ohio Boys Football playoffs. Anybody who knows anything about Ohio football knows that it's like Texas football. It's intense. It's good football. He recorded 60 tackles, six sacks, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble during his junior season. He's ranked the 95th defensive end in the nation by Scout.com and is a three-star recruit on Scout.com. This kid has a frame. His dad is 7'0. When I went in the home, I was looking up. He's got a sister that plays volleyball that is 6'2". He comes from a big family. I think this kid can grow into a big one.
Augie Touris, from Buffalo, who played in Canisius HS, is another big kid. He's 6-4, 235 pounds. I think this kid could go in two directions. I think he could be a defensive end for us. He also was a productive tight end in high school. He's very athletic. He blocked two punts during his senior season and was first-team All-Catholic selection and All-WNY league All-Star first-team defense honoree. He's going to play in the New York/New Jersey All-Star game and we are going to see where his body takes him. He's another one of those long, big-framed kids who is going to grow into a big player for us.
Luke Elsner was in this past weekend, and I think he really enjoyed the weather. He's from Wisconsin. He's 6-3, 240 pounds. This guy has a relentless motor. He recorded 76 tackles (63s/13a), with 25.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks. He also had three forced fumbles, four blocked punts and five pass breakups. He opened up the playoffs with 12 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss in one game. That's production. He was named Defensive First-Team All-State. During his junior season, he racked up 17.5 sacks, with 51 tackles, three forced fumbles, one blocked kick and one pass breakup. All you got to do is watch this cat on film, and he is all over the place. He just like the other guys I just mentioned is going to be a big kid before it's all said and done. He's got a big frame, long arms. He's probably going to be a 270 pounder when it's all said and done.
Jimmy Musgrave, who is here on campus, I had an opportunity to watch him on drills during our first offseason workout. This kid is competitive. He's tough, and he loves the game of football. He's actually a bounce back. He started his career at the University of Oregon and went back to junior college. He led his conference in tackles He had 94 tackles (47 solo), eight sacks, 15.5 tackles for loss and one forced fumble. He's a very productive linebacker and is very smart. In high school he was a dual threat. He played running back and had 79 carries for 452 yards and six touchdowns. He's the 28th ranked junior-college linebacker in the nation by 247sports.com.
If you talk about production, Justen Tatum may be the most productive player we signed. This is a young player, he just turned 17. He's 6-1, 240 pounds and may be one of the best athletic kids that we had on visits. He guided his team to the state championship game, and this is no aberration here. He had 35 tackles (13s/22a) and led the team in rushing with two touchdowns for 90 yards in the state championship game. That's not his senior season stats. That's one game. In 2013 he had nine performances with 17 or more tackles. He finished his senior season with 247 tackles (123s/124a), seven sacks, 1,013 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. And that's as a fullback. You'll see him on film. He's the 83rd ranked linebacker in the nation, and he was All-State for both defense and offense. He's a team captain and an outstanding student.
Nik Needham is a defensive back/wide receiver. I think this guy could end up on either side of the ball. On offense he hauled in 39 passes for 877 yards (22.5 avg.) and five touchdowns. On defense he tallied 38 tackles (31s/7a), three tackles for loss, two interceptions and .5 sack. He's ranked 74th in the nation at cornerback on 247sports.com and was named the 2013 Scholar Athlete at his school. He's another young man that has a lot of good football ahead of him.
Adrian Hynson is a safety from Corpus Christi, (Flour Bluff). This guy after the season was named Dave Campbell's Texas Football All-State first team, which is quite an honor in the state of Texas with all the great players in the state of Texas.
This guy was a three-year starter who 83 tackles (29s/54a and 4 tackles for loss) his senior year, and also picked off two passes for 100 yards. He was named All-District MVP and was the 2013 Friday Night Fever Play of the Year recipient. He's ranked the 75th safety in the nation on 247sports.com and he was All-State. He played in 14 games in 2012, tallying 106 tackles (57s/49a) and four tackles for loss. This is a very productive player who makes plays with great speed. You talk to the people at his school. This guy has outstanding character. We had secretaries coming out of the woodworks, we had assistant coaches and more telling us what an outstanding kid he is.
Mookie Carlile is a four-year starter at Stephenville High School. He had a very productive high school career for him. He's a good sized defensive back who may even end up being a strong safety/linebacker for us. He's 6-1, 200 pounds. He registered 90 tackles (51s/46a), seven tackles for loss, seven breakups, and five interceptions (team leader).He's the 73rd safety in the nation on 247sports.com. His junior year he tallied 97 tackles (45s/52a) and two interceptions. He led his team to three straight district titles. He also lettered in basketball and baseball. That's a lost art now a days. I love it, having a three-sport player. He was a regional finalist in baseball, and he's a two-time All-District outfielder and a first-team honoree for his baseball team. He's a well-rounded athlete.
Now we get to the "fat guys." They don't have many stats but they got a place in my heart. The first one, "Pookie" Chris Jones from Corsicana, Texas. He's a three-year starter for Corsicana High School. He garnered back-to-back District first-team honors. He was named the Newcomer of the Year and AP All-State Honorable Mention this past season. He also competed in the discus throw in track. This guy is an outstanding puller. He's got great size. We're going to play him at the center position. He kind of reminds me of a former center that played here, James Spady who was very athletic. "Pookie's" got quite a few pounds on James.
Derron Gatewood is an offensive guard from Odessa, Texas, and Permian High School. He also earned a spot on the 2013 Dave Campbell's Texas Football Super Team third team. He gave up zero sacks during the 2013 campaign. He's a three-time All-Academic All-District football player. He played baseball for two seasons. That's an athletic 295-pound baseball player.
Jerrod Books, who came in to visit this past weekend, this kid is a young man who just turned 17. He's 6-5, 305 pounds with long arms and is very lean. This kid is going to be an outstanding player for us. He's extremely athletic, and he's just a young man. He's going to grow into his frame. He's going to be 325 pounds, and he is going to be lean. He allowed zero sacks himself and played on an offense that scored 426 points in 11 games (ranked second in district). He also does shot put and discus throw as a dual-sport athlete.
This is one I was nervous about (pronouncing correctly). Christopher Misaalefua. I got that right the first time. From now on, he's going to be called "Big Chris." He's an offensive tackle/offensive guard. He's 6-5, 355 pounds. He is a large, young man. He was named Max Preps All-State Division III first team. He garnered league lineman of the year honors and played on both sides on the ball. On defense he compiled 22 tackles (13s/9a) and one fumble recovery during his senior season. He's an offensive lineman for us that has size and athleticism. All you need to point out that is that he plays basketball. The first time we saw him moving around was on the basketball court. This guy plays power forward and gives it a new name at 6-5, 355 pounds. He was selected to play in the DB Guru All-Star game. He was a three varsity basketball player. He is going to be a force for us inside, and he moves very light on his feet for a guy that size.
I'll get to the two El Paso signees. Again, much like last year, we really felt like we got the best players in the city. Warren Dedix may be one of the more productive guys we signed if you really look at the numbers. He was MVP of the district two years in a row and registered 2,679 yards on 184 receptions (14.56 average) and 34 total touchdowns. That's not his career. That's his senior season. I'm talking about production. He also compiled 751 rushing yards on 63 carries. When we were recruiting this young man we talked to a lot of people in town and asked them to name the most competitive kid in town. Just about everybody mentioned this kid as being the most competitive kid in town. He's an outstanding student. We're excited to get him. His junior year he was just as productive. His sophomore year he was just as productive. He played in the El Paso Football Showcase All-Star game. He could play slot receiver for us. He could play running back for us. He could return kicks for us. He may be able to play DB for us. He sounds a lot like a guy we signed last year named Aaron Jones.
Eddie Sinegal from El Paso Andress started three seasons on varsity squad. He racked up 2,560 yards on 122 receptions (20.9 average) and 26 receiving touchdowns (29 total TDs). That's production. This guy also plays basketball. He's a very versatile athlete who excelled on the hardwood. He played four years on the varsity basketball squad. He was named All-City first team in 2012 and 2013 for basketball. He earned First-Team All-District in 2013 for football. This guy is productive. He's a bigger framed wide receiver. I think once he grows into his body he's going be a 6-2, 200 pound receiver with outstanding athleticism.
Probably the days of signing 165-pound running backs is over. The style of play we want to play is physical downhill football. Both of the backs we signed this year are 220 pounds, starting with David Hamm from Klein, Texas. He rushed 288 times for 1,821 yards and 18 touchdowns (19 total TDs). He carried 27 times for 225 yards and a pair of touchdowns (39 and eight yards, respectively) in a playoff game. He was voted District Offensive Player of the Year. He was a Houston Area's top-100 football recruit and he's been selected to play in the 34th Annual UIL High School Touchdown Club finalist.
Treyvon Hughes, the other "Pops," the little "Pops," during his senior season at Hebron High School, rushed 240 times for 1,445 yards (6.0 average) and 14 touchdowns (15 total TDs). He was named 2013 co-offensive MVP District 5-5A. He picked up a three-star rating by ESPN.com and is ranked the 81st running back in the country in the 2014 ESPN 300 Top Running Backs List. He accounted for 43 percent of his school's total yardage. He rushed for 1,461 yards on 205 carries and 16 touchdowns his junior year. He played linebacker his sophomore year. That will tell you a little bit about his toughness.
The next guy is a guy who can play multiple positions. Sloan Spiller, who played at Katy High School. Everyone knows they were the runner-up for the state championship this year .They won the state championship recently. It's an outstanding program. This guy can play fullback, he can play tight end. He was All-District in 2013. He had 15 receptions for 275 yards and five touchdowns. He's No. 81 on the 2014 ESPN 300 Top Running Backs List. That's for fullback in the nation. He had
247 yards and two touchdowns in leading them to a state title. He's going to be a very productive player for us. He's physical in the run game. We are going to start him off at fullback and see where that goes. We are very excited about him.
The next, I won't say young man, he's probably the oldest of the class is Nick Jones. He's a tight that we signed from Erie Community College in Buffalo, N.Y. He's 6-7, 260 pounds. He's about the same size as Eric Tomlinson, our other tight end which will give us nice book ends at the position. He caught 17 passes for 214 yards (12.6 avg.) and two touchdowns this year. He's ranked 19th on 247 Sports Top Junior College Tight Ends List. He earned the 2013 Western New York Junior College Football Scholar Athlete award. But more importantly, this guy served in the Marines from July 2007 to April 2012, doing four tours of duty. He earned 12 ribbons, including the combat action ribbon, the humanitarian ribbon, and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement medal. He was an all-around athlete who played basketball and lacrosse in high school. We had Sergeant Kelly on our team last year that provided great leadership. Sergeant Kelly has graduated, and we are hoping the Nick Jones can pick up that torch from day one. Judging by the way he worked during the first morning workout, we got ourselves a natural born leader.
The last young man is also here on campus. He's a high school athlete who graduated early and enrolled in the spring. He's already in our offseason program. Sterling Napier was a four-year starter at Cleveland High School near Albuquerque, N.M. He caught 43 passes for 682 yards (15.9 avg.) and three touchdowns. He was also a good player on defense who tallied 31 tackles (four solo), 6.5 tackles for loss and two sacks. He had 172 yards receiving in one game. He's a tight end. That's pretty impressive. He ranked fifth on New Mexico Top Recruits List and was a part of the 2011 2011 state championship squad. He also played basketball and graduated in December 2013. He is here on campus with us right now.
Coach Kugler on being thankful to all who helped out with this process
That kind of sums up the class but I want to say a few thank yous for a few people. Denise Mata put together all of our website and bios that you're reading right now. She did an outstanding job because a lot of this stuff doesn't come in until late, and she has to put it together very quickly. If you look at our website, the UTEP Athletics website, it has all of the player's bios and highlights where you will get a chance to look at those. She did an outstanding job. Juergen and Stephanie for putting together the video and sound system and highlights for stuff like that. I'd like to thank all the coaches for their tireless efforts in recruiting. There was a lot of time on the road, a lot of time away from their family. Hours upon hours talking to these young men, getting to know them better, getting to know their character, and we're real excited about that.
Coach Kugler on the perception players don't want to visit El Paso & sign with UTEP
I always find it funny when you hear the perception of El Paso, and how kids don't want to go to El Paso. We brought in 26 players for visits. We signed 23 of those 26 players. They enjoyed the university. Most of those players brought their families. We got a chance to know their families. Just know that these young men are coming from outstanding families with great family values.
Coach Kugler on balancing the roster in terms of offensive/defensive players on scholarship
I'd especially like to thank Brian Natkin, our recruiting coordinator, for balancing the numbers and for sticking with the plan. We're in a constant struggle to get this headed in the right direction. I can't emphasize enough. My first day on the job there were 23 defensive scholarship players on the whole team. Now we are at 40, and that has a lot to do with moving people around, but most importantly the recruiting aspect of it. We had 14 wide receivers on scholarship, four more than we had offensive lineman on scholarship, and we are trying to run a very physical style of football. After this year, we'll have seven receivers on scholarship and 15 lineman on scholarship. Those are the kind of numbers we want to carry year-to-year. I really felt personally it was going to take us two years to balance our numbers. Brian's creativity has done it in one year. We're right where we want to be with our numbers, and from this point on we are not going to deviate from our plan. We will be signing those numbers every year.
Coach Kugler staff changes and final thanks to the entire staff
At this point, I'd like to introduce the staff changes that I'm going to make. Brian did an outstanding job at recruiting coordinator. This year he is going to be our special teams coordinator. Last year we did not have one. We did it collectively as a staff. I thought they did an outstanding job but I want the players to have one voice. Brian will do an outstanding job in that. Assisting him will be the assistant special teams coordinator Robert Rodriguez. He's another guy well versed in special teams and another high energy young coach that will assist Brian. I know we are going to have the best special teams in the conference with those two running it. From that point, starting on Monday, Gabe Franklin will be the special teams coordinator. There are many reasons for this. Gabe is an organized young coach as I've ever been around. Gabe also has brought in some outstanding athletes the last few years. He's an outstanding recruiter. He's great with the parents and great with the kids, and it's an opportunity for him to continue the path that Brian started. I can't thank the staff enough & everybody involved. Norma putting together the flight plans and that's a hard job in itself. Mona and Donna keeping tabs on everything that comes through the office, filtering it to the right place. Recruiting is a very long process, and we've wrapped it up.
Coach Kugler on the future of the program
I'm confident that El Paso fans will like these players on the field, but more importantly off the field. Character is going to be put at a premium from here on out. I think many people could try to sway me in a different direction. That isn't going to happen. We are going to do it one way, and one way only here. We think the end result is going to pay off. I promise you this: I didn't come down here to lose games. I'm not going to go through seven straight losing seasons. I am not going to put the fans through that. If this thing isn't righted after around three seasons, I'll walk. I promise you. Without pay. I don't care. We are going to get this turned. I promise you that. Thank you.

Kenmore Dehumidifiermodel #40752301210
Questions & Answers about this model powered by
Attached hose to my Kenmore Dehumidifier is not gravity draining. What can I do?
My Kenmore Dehumidifier, Model #407.52301210 does not gravity drain. I attached a hose to it according to the manuals instructions and have it eleavated 1 1/2 feet above the floor drain. There is some water still getting minto the bucket even with the hose attached and checked to make sure the hose was screwed on tight. Is there something else I should be doing. Thanks, Glen

Scott D , March 22, 2013
thank you for your question. i'm sorry you are having this problem with the dehumidifier. make sure the drain line does not have any kinks and has a good downward slope to it. if this is ok and water is still getting in the bucket, it could be a problem with the drain pan under the evaporator. it may have a crack or the drain hole may be restricted. i would recommend having a technician check this. i'm listing a site you can access, for the nearest repair center. here is a link that will provide the nearest drop-off locations: sears home services.
Robert, August 01, 2013
i purchased a new unit and hooked up a new hose and still the water goes to the drain bucket. does this mean that the unit is defective and the water pathway inside the unit is blocked? what is the fluid pathway for the water coming from the dehumidifier and how does it detect that a hose is attached. i am confused how the water is diverted if a hose is attached versus not attached? the drain connector nozzle does not have a plug when a hose is not attached?
Scott D , August 02, 2013
robert, this is kind of difficult to explain but basically, without the drain hose connected, when there is free air flow through the hose connection, the water will be diverted down to the drain bucket. when the hose is connected, there is a negative drawing effect that pulls the water out through the hose. now, if the hose is longer than 10 feet and if it does not have a good downward slope, the water can back up and cause the bucket to fill. i hope this helps you.

"Mobile phones", the word itself is capable of saying it all. The present day people cannot imagine their lives without these handy gadgets. Cell phones have become such an indispensible part of the day to day lives that one cannot even think of living without them. Apart from being highly functional, cell phones also act as one of the main mediums of displaying the high class opulence. Blinged cell phones, which are viewed on You Tube often, are the demand of the modern day rich world. iPhone 4S, which is seen as the most technologically advanced smartphone, is also a symbol of luxury for many. Blinging this handset can be one of the better ways to make it even luxurious.
A good number of companies from all around the world are trying their hands at making this smartphone even smarter. A similar successful attempt was made by the Sun & Moon Jewelry Studio. iPhone Pink Diamond is the successful byproduct Continue reading

"A very disappointing loss," said Spartans head coach Tom Izzo. "I felt like we never got on track. We were in foul trouble the whole game and it seemed like that wasn't going to end. And they shoot 40 percent, we shoot 40. They shot a little better than us from the 3.
"But the difference was in those stretch of - that one stretch it was just free throw after free throw and we can't do anything about it, and we didn't do a very good job guarding them from the standpoint of I thought they exploited our freshmen a little bit. And they're a good team. They're a good team. They played well.
"Curry hurt us, no question about it, and that's why he's a great player. But we didn't quit. We hung in there. I thought we played poorly for us. But I'm sure Duke had a lot to do with that. And, as I said, the better team won. So just lick our wounds and live for another day."
While Keith Appling drew the assignment to stop Curry, he found the fifth-year senior too hard to handle.
"He just made shots," said Appling. "Simple as that. The plays that they ran for him were just right, and he came up hard and just knocked the shots down. That made it tough for us for the whole game."
Izzo gave Curry all the credit despite not agreeing with some of the fouls called on his team.
"I thought Curry did a great job of coming off those screens," explained Izzo. "He stops, he pops. They kept calling things I didn't agree with. But got him to the line, Sulaimon, got him to the line and he made those three 3s.
"We got a little hesitant in how to guard him, and he did the job on Harris. I think Harris is one of the best defenders they got and this night, he goes 8 for 17, which isn't off the charts, but the 6 for 9 and 7 for 7 from the line and there's no doubt he single handedly beat us, when you look at all the other guys. We did a pretty good job defensively. The foul thing bothered me a little bit, to be honest about it. But it is what it is."
The Spartans end the season with a 27-9 overall mark and will have to wait another year to make a run towards another championship.

Tonight I had surgery. I decided to swallow the head of a rubber spatula and it wouldn't come out any other way. I'll be okay but it's pretty bad timing. I was supposed to go to St. Louis this weekend to defend my national flying disc title! I like to keep my people on their toes with things like this. Please send good thoughts my way.
I will be on television on Sunday, January 13th on ABC (I believe it's at 5:00 Eastern time) and Monday, January 14th on ESPN2 (at 1:00 Eastern time?). Check your local listings for the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge and tune in to watch me win!
I was in St. Louis this weekend competing in the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals and I won first place in flying disc!!!! My people are excited because it's major exposure for my breed. The announcer at the event was so cool, constantly saying things about me being a pit bull. I had sooooo much fun.

FindMinimum to minimize e . w . e
I have a couple of questions regarding the GLS fitting function
grad=-2e . w. j;
f1=FindMinimum[e . w . e,Evaluate[Sequence@@startval],Gradient->grad]
where e is symbolic vector and w is a matrix of constants.
This works fine. However,
1) when I try to update w at each iteration as
w:=Inverse[symbolic matrix];
f2=FindMinimum[e . w . e,Evaluate[Sequence@@startval],Gradient->grad];
it takes forever. I suspect that the reason is that at each iteration
Mathematica uses
(e. w . e)/. rule which takes about 34 sec on my machine, instead of
(e/.rule) . Inverse[symbolic matrix/.rule] . (e/.rule) .11 sec
and probably does the same thing with the gradient, where the rule evaluates
the expressions at the starting values.
How can I fix this on Mathematica version 3.
2) Minimizing f1 is equivalent to minimizing
f3=FindMinimum[Tr[MatrixPower[mat1 . (mat2 -mat3) ,2]],Gradient->gradient,
where mat1 and mat2 are numerical matrices, and mat3 is symbolic. I'm
interested in f3 because it's supposed to be faster. However, Mathematica 3
gives me an error
FindMinimum::"fdss": Gradient->...
"Search specification should be a list with 2-4 elements."
yet Tr[MatrixPower[mat1 . (mat2 -mat3) ,2]]/.rule and gradient/.rule work
fine. What may be happening?
Thanks in advance

Oh, what a luxury to cool down a bit after the already sweltering heat in the desert.
But the joy is short - on we go, this time to the red part of the Tatacoa desert. The formations remind me very much of the Bryce Canon in Utah. After returning to the village, a short walk through the (very modest) Paleontological Museum, then I get my stuff ready and ride on to Neiva.
The two planned nights turn out into three as they want to show me all the beautiful things in Mocoa. Although I have already made my travel plans I cannot resist: Oliver and Olga lead me to the cañon del Mandiyaco, in the domestic zoo and then the next day during a 6-hour, partially adventurous, leading through dense jungle hike first to the "ojo de dios" and then to "fin del mundo": 3 waterfalls with nice pools to swim, the last and highest with 70 meters! A beautiful river scenery in the middle of the jungle, no other sounds than the rippling water, the chirping of cicadas and the sounds of the many birds. In between, we have time for a swim and make a lot of pictures. An incredible experience to which I would certainly not have had the opportunity being on my own.
In both families I have been welcomed as if we know each other for years already; they took days off for me and with pride "presented" me to their friends, familes and biker colleagues. Of course, here in Columbia plays the fact that I am a woman traveling solo on a motorbike, a certain role. But all motorcyclists are welcome, it is like a code of honour and that way they make traveling possible for bikers allover South America. The costs of hotels and food would make it impossible for most of them. And the South Americans are passionate bikers!!! Such unprecedented hospitality I've never seen in my life!!
To reassure all: I will not take the famous road "devil's trampoline or trampolinedel diablo" to the Ecuadorian border tomorrow. Oliver has advised me not to take it. Thegravel road is normally in acceptable conditions but it is very curvy and extremly narrow and you have to find place between crossing trucks and buses. On one side the rock and on the other side nothing; some hundred meters further down the river. Many deadly accidents make it to one of the most famous roads in the world (look after it on YouTube). So I will drive the 180km on the normal road (2/3 paved, 1/3 bumpy gravel) toLa Hormiga and cross there the border to Ecuador.

roofing shingles
what are the best roofing shingles?
This has been asked and ansewered hundreds of times here.
Go back up and look at the top right where it says search.
Also go back and add your location. Without that no one would even know what brands are avalible to you.
Far more important who's putting it on then what brand you put on, the best shingles in the world installed wrong is going to fail.
Shingles are only as good as the guy putting them down.
I've been doing a lot of research re: hot mop vs torch down....from what I have read....both have about the same performance....but the real deciding factor is the quality of installation...in other words, it's only as good as the installer....

WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER; our few adoptees are always fostered by our staff and board of directors and volunteers and individual arrangements are made for introductions and adoptions.
WE ARE NOT A RESCUE GROUP; we are a spay/neuter organization and mobile hospital with some very limited and special case adoptions only.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
