On "Nothing Will Ever Be the Same"
By Bob Arnold
On Mar. 10, 2002, the Unitarian Universalist Church in Middletown, N.Y., held a service commemorating the six-month anniversary of September 11. One of the speakers was Bob Arnold, the editor of BusinessWeek Online. With Americans more concerned about terrorism than ever, and with talk of a U.S. war on Iraq mounting daily, his remarks seem as relevant now as they did six months ago.
Last Sept. 16, we met here to seek sanctuary from the pain that a handful of hijackers had inflicted on an entire country. Strangers rose to speak movingly of how the collapse of the World Trade Center had forced them to refocus on basic values -- family, health, community, and safety.
By then, the phrase "nothing will ever be the same" had already become a cliche. Most of us probably didn't realize, however, what those words really meant: that we had embarked on a journey from which there is no exit. Tomorrow is the six-month anniversary of an attack that remains as fresh in our memory as the day it happened -- and that has altered our perceptions in numerous ways. Today, I want to reflect on the meanings of nine-eleven.
The clearest lesson, of course, is that we are not alone. In the space of minutes, the world shrank. The idea that an ocean matters, that an airport belongs to us just because it's located on our shores, that a society that's a century behind ours is irrelevant to us -- suddenly, these became naive misconceptions. The implications are both bad and good.
The most unpleasant implication is the one we're most familiar with: That we're more vulnerable than we thought to people who would harm us. The evidence exists not only in the token signs of security we see in New York's theaters, office buildings, and hotels. We all recall the descriptions of the President and Vice-President running for cover on September 11. We remember Washington's intermittent warnings since then that another incident might be imminent. And we've heard the stunning news that, last fall, government officials halfway expected some midget nuclear device to be set off in lower Manhattan.
On my commuter bus that fateful morning, the passengers sensed this new reality only seconds after our driver shouted for us to look at the wounded Trade Center. It was just before 9 a.m., as we rounded a bend outside the Lincoln Tunnel and gazed at the smoking Twin Towers for what turned out to be the last time.
And yet, I'm not sure that most of this has fully registered with the vast majority of Americans. Certainly, it didn't change our routine that morning. We rode our bus through the tunnel -- once itself a target of terrorists -- as docile as sardines heading for the packing plant. Only when the erroneous rumor spread that 10 planes were hijacked, not four, did we reflect on the fact that we were smack in the middle of the world's most populous bulls-eye.
Not until the Towers fell -- maybe two miles from my office -- did anyone realize how serious the threat was. We know now. Yet today, the evening crowds in Times Square are as large as ever -- plump targets for evildoers. And many people view the type of vigilance that makes sense in these times as an inconvenience as much as a necessity. Either that, or impossible to achieve.
The overwhelming lesson of nine-eleven, from the standpoint of our own safety, is that it would be a mistake for us to give in to human nature and slip back into old habits A billboard recently on the New Jersey Turnpike said it all. Going north, the sign showed the furled image of an American flag. Going south, the message consisted of two words: "Goliath lost." That's all -- "Goliath lost."
The southbound billboard was really just a chest-thumping ad for the Mini, about the smallest car on the road. Yet it was also possible to imagine it as a warning that if the Twin Towers can go down and the Pentagon can be breached, the U.S. isn't the fortress we imagined.
Another implication of the idea that we aren't alone is a lot more comforting. I was surprised by the initial, worldwide outpouring of outrage and sorrow in the wake of nine-eleven. I wouldn't have guessed that so many people from other countries cared that much about Americans -- or, in particular, New Yorkers.
But now, I think I understand. Our friends abroad were offering sympathy not for the victims as Americans but as human beings. The heartening possibility is that lurking out there somewhere is a potent counterforce to evil that transcends nationalities and, that marshalled effectively, can isolate netherworld characters such as those who conceived the nine-eleven attacks.
Perhaps this is wishful thinking. But could it be that after numerous wars over the past century and millions of pointless deaths, the millions who survive have had their fill of killers -- and are starting to understand that one way to stop them in the future will be to isolate them?
That won't happen, of course, until we confront an idea that makes most Americans squirm. The point is summed up in belief Number Six of the 10 that are printed in the billfold card we sometimes have out in the parish house, the one entitled: "What do Unitarian Universalists Believe?" Number Six reads: "We believe in the worth and dignity of each human being. All people on earth have an equal claim to life, liberty, and justice -- and no idea, ideal, or philosophy is superior to a single human life."
That's a noble statement -- and, I think, one that's really hard for many Americans to accept, because what it says is that the average person in Pakistan, or India, or Somalia, or Afghanistan is just as important as the average American and has the same right to a useful and productive existence.
While we have no problem accepting that on a case-by-case basis -- we've probably all worked as equals with people from disadvantaged countries -- we Americans have a difficult time believing that a few dozen or hundred or thousand civilian Afghans who are blown away by an errant bomb are as valuable, however you define the concept, as U.S. soldiers who die fighting the Taliban or as a Wall Street Journal reporter who stumbles into a nest of vipers.
Yet if we subscribe to UU belief Number Six, we accept the idea that "we" and "they" are of equal importance. Which means acknowledging that if we kill innocent people in Afghanistan because of their proximity to a collection of extraordinarily brazen criminals, it's no less a tragedy than when innocent Americans die on U.S. soil at the hands of the same criminals. Belief Number Six. A salesperson who could peddle that has a great future in Corporate America.
People from the Middle East -- and from many developing countries -- are acutely aware of how hard it is for us to accept this ideal, as I was reminded a few days after nine-eleven. I was on the bus to Manhattan again, when a Muslim family embarked -- a husband and wife in full dress with three small children. The husband sat next to me, peeked at the story I was editing on my laptop -- and spontaneously began educating me about the Middle East in a slightly louder voice than necessary.
Possibly, that was because the two gentlemen in front of us were wearing yarmulkas. This Muslim lives in Damascus, where his occupation seems to be studying the Koran, whose teachings he described in detail before making a point that by then was obvious -- America's lopsided support for Israel, as he viewed the situation, had alienated the rest of the Middle East.
Finally, I asked him where he was from originally -- and he said the Bronx. So I asked where he had first learned about his new religion, and he said Teaneck High -- the same school my kids attend. I asked, which teacher? And lapsing into a different vernacular, he said: "Hey man, you know Teaneck High?"
We had found a tiny piece of common ground, and the ice that until then had locked each of us in separate ways of thinking began to melt. The point is that one of the lessons of nine-eleven is that we Americans need to establish a higher degree of commonality with peoples we have normally ignored -- and that UU Belief Number Six is a pretty good place to start.
I remember that when my dad died, about 13 years ago, one of my reactions was to say to myself, "if you want to do it, do it now." Likewise, events such as nine-eleven bring home the value of making every minute count. In the summer of 2001, my family visited the Oklahoma City memorial to the people who died at the hands of another ideological criminal, Timothy McVeigh. Across the street on the day of the crime, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board had been holding a routine hearing. In the museum at the memorial, you can listen to the start of that meeting and hear the deafening blast that interrupted it -- realizing, as you stand in a darkened room, that you're witnessing the last seconds in the lives of 168 people.
And you can't help vowing that if you ever had to face such a moment, you would want to have no regrets. Who can remember nine-eleven without pausing at that thought?
At the same time, for many of us, the tragedy has lent new meaning to the ordinary. Take the somewhat obscure song from the Broadway show Les Miserables -- . I never really paid much attention to its lyrics, but today the song seems pertinent to me because of someone I heard on the radio -- an actor from the show -- who commended the singer for being able to get through that number a few days after nine-eleven.
On October 7, we drove into the city to attend a wedding in a loft on Greenwich Street, about 15 blocks north of where the Trade Center had stood. It was an azure day, just as nine-eleven had been, and the radio was full of speculation that the U.S. might soon be at war in Afghanistan. It was one of the nicest weddings I can remember, and five hours later we emerged from the reception to hear that the bombing had begun.
Three hours after that, we were sitting in a theater in New Jersey listening to jazz legend Dave Brubeck, who I thought had already died. For two hours, we watched a man with the body and voice of an 82-year-old play the piano with the enthusiasm and energy of a 30-year-old. And when it was over, he said simply: "Thank you for coming. I hope to see you again." And I knew, right then, that one of the lasting effects of nine-eleven will be to make me more fully appreciate the relationships and experiences that already matter to me.
There's one last thing that day reminds me of -- an ancient thought that's so simple and symmetrical and beneficial that it's hard to imagine why we all don't pay more attention to it: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Of all the lessons we should take from nine-eleven, that is the most important.
Empty Chairs and Empty Tables
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone.
Here they talked of revolution.
Here it was they lit the flame.
Here they sang about "tomorrow"
And tomorrow never came.
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn.
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
(The ghosts of those who died on the barricade appear.)
That I live and you are gone.
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.
Phantom faces at the window.
Phantom shadows on the floor.
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more.
(The ghosts fade away.)
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more

After I was all wet, I thanked Mommy my shaking out all over her. She gigged and put some shampoo on me. I liked that part, 'cause she massaged it into me. Ahhh! Bliss. . . Next Mommy rinsed me off which I didn't like as much, so I tried to crawl under a bush. But she Mommy brushed me off and gave me a nice treat. Yum!

The State Medical Examiner says a woman whose body was found floating in the Penobscot River in Hampden Monday morning drowned.
State police say she's been identified as 51-year old Barbara Goodwin of Bangor.
She was last seen alive on Thursday, leaving a doctor's office in Bangor.
Two kayakers spotted Goodwin's body about 20 to 30 feet from shore, off Cottage Road.
They brought it to land and called authorities.
Police say they're still trying to figure out where Goodwin went into the river and how.
No one reported her missing and she had no ID when she was recovered.
Bangor police, who've had contact with Goodwin before, helped investigators identify her.
Anyone who has seen Goodwin or been in touch with her since Thursday is asked to call State Police in Orono at 866-2122.

Is this even possible??
I live in an apartment with no washer/dryer hook-ups built in, but I've been offered a fairly new, working set for FREE. And this is a huge deal to me being a mother of two girls under 2 yrs old- the laundry just piles up so fast, not to mention the expense and hassle of bringing everything down to the laundomat... it just seem like we've been short on clean everything since moving here. :(
So I'm hoping to be able to jury-rig something. I'm thinking the dryer vent can go out the back window, and we might figure out how to connect hoses for the H and C water on the washer, I just don't know about the drain.
Anyone have any ideas? :confused:
Is the dryer gas or electric?
If the washer leaks and damages the floor will the owner be happy? Who would pay?
If the dryer over heats and cause damage to the apartment will the owner be happy? Who would pay?
Do you have renters insurance?
The washer and dryer are both electric. As for if they are allowed... that I don't know. I've never heard we can't, but I've never asked, either. My apartment manager also has little kids, so I think she'd let us. :D And yes, we have renter's insurance. It's required by law in my state. Hope that answers all questions.:)
Is the cord on the dryer the same diameter as the cord for the washer? If the cord is the same size then the dryer may be gas. If the cord for the dryer is larger (more than twice the size) then the washer then it is electric. You cannot not just plug an electric dryer into a regular wall outlet. It needs to have a specail outlet because the electric dryer uses the power to run the motor and to power the electric elements that heat up the air to dry the clothes.
If the dryer is gas then you will need to have a gas line going to it.
Regarding the washer, how close is the nearest drain line? (ie. a sink drain, tub drain...)
How close is the nearest hot and cold water?
Thanks anyway
Well, it turns out not to matter since they were given away to someone else right after they were offered to me.:mad:
But thank you anyway for taking the time to help me figure out if it would work. (And it was really sounding like it wouldn't.:()

Understanding the Enneagram: The Practical Guide to Personality Types (1990)
by Don Richard Riso, Russ Hudson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
These things read like horoscopes generalisations for me.
I once did a blind reading of a stranger in a storytelling session which lead me to identify a poor relationship with his father and making up a story that revealed it. (Tears and hugs all round after that session!) A mixture of intuitive insight and ambiguous questions rather then practical use of a personality type. I also remain sceptical that we have a single fixed core personality as these approaches ignore that personalities also depend on social context.
But use to get a discussion about what the findings mean for us is always revealing about our individual self images. I like using them when developing a character in a story to let me imagine what if

City of Brotherly Love
I came scarily close to missing my flight to Philadelphia yesterday morning. The plane was scheduled to leave at 7:15 and so I had booked my car service (this is the one hugely extravagant thing in my life. I use a car service to and from the airport) to pick me up at 6 AM. Which it did, of course--they are always on time, unlike taxis, and always know what route to take (unlike taxis. These are the reasons why I use the car service, these plus the fact that I don't have to listen to the drivers' political views, or sit white-knuckled as they speed)
So. My driver dropped me at the airport at 6:20, and because I had forgotten to do so from my own computer, i had to get my US Airways boarding pass from a kiosk, and then it was 6:25. And that's when I discovered the line at security. MILES long. I had not anticipated the number of families headed, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, to the Caribbean. Gulp. Having no other options that I could think of, I got in the line, which was interminable and apparently unmoving. I stood there, inching forward, until it was 6:40---my plane was to start boarding at 6:45---and there were still zillions of people, most with strollers and golf clubs, ahead of me.
Then I thought of a possible solution---scary because it meant giving up my place in line, and by now there were a hundred people, at least, behind me. But I thought I remembered that from the US Airways Shuttle to NY or DC , at the other end of the terminal, you could in fact get to the regular gates by a back route. So I scurried there, and indeed there were few people n the security line, because people aren't making business trips at 7 on a Saturday morning. Whew. I made my way through, and indeed found my way around to the regular gates, and got to my plane, which was, by then, half boarded, in time.
And now I am in Philadelphia. Last weekend at a hotel in Connecticut, I did what I always automatically do in a hotel room, which is to look at the little map of emergency exits on the back of the door. Last weekend was the first time I have actually been called upon to groggily remember that information, when I had to leave the hotel at 2 AM as the fire engines pulled up.
Here, I wonder why bother studying the map! I am on the 29th floor. It does make for a great view of the city:...

Living by green spaces can boost body and soul: study
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - People who live near green spaces may be less likely than those surrounded by concrete to suffer a range of health problems, particularly depression and anxiety, according to a Dutch study.
Researchers from the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam found that among more than 300,000 Dutch adults and children, those living near more "green spaces" tended to have lower rates of 15 different health conditions.
They found the link was especially strong when it came to depression and anxiety, suggesting that respite from stress and the hustle and bustle of urban life may be an important for reason for the benefits of green.
Past studies have found that people who live in greener environments tend to report better subjective health.
But this study, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, is the first to use objective data on specific mental and physical health diagnoses, researcher Dr. Jolanda Maas told Reuters Health.
The findings build on evidence that green space has a positive effect on health and is "more than just a luxury good," Maas said.
She and her colleagues gathered their information from the electronic medical records of 345,143 patients of about 200 general practitioners.
They used an environmental database on land use to gauge the percentage of green space in the patients' neighborhoods.
Overall, the study found, greater amounts of green space within one kilometer -- or 0.6 miles -- of people's homes was related to small reductions in the risks of health problems like heart disease, diabetes, chronic neck and back pain, asthma and migraine. Continued...

In Part 1, we talked about how lots of people want the power and flexibility of Photoshop, but they want it in an easy to use package that doesn't cost the earth. With that in mind, we looked for the best alternatives to Photoshop for photographers on a budget. Here are a few more:
Pixlr (Web) – Not all photo software has to be downloaded and installed on your computer, and Pixlr is perhaps the best example of that. You access it on the web at http://pixlr.com and simply upload the photos that you want to work on. There are actually three tools at the Pixlr site. The Editor is the most powerful, and apes a lot of the user interface and features that you find in Adobe Photoshop. Pixlr Express is an easier version of the Editor, and is meant for quick fixes, while Pixlr O-matic is best for special effects, borders and filters. All of them are free, and come with the added bonus that if you learn how to use them, you can do so on any computer, anywhere, if you have Internet access.
Picasa (Mac/Windows) – Google's Picasa is a simple, yet effective, way to organize and edit all your photos. It is also not light on features. There are a variety of filters and special effects, as well as the ability to show images side by side as you edit them in a before and after view. You can create slideshows, collages, and screensavers, while editing controls include the ability to crop, sharpen, rotate, resize and even add a watermark to protect your intellectual copyright. It works on Windows and Mac computers, and because it is owned by Google, it will also link up with your Google+ account for sharing online. Compared to Photoshop, there is not much of a contest here, but it is easy to use, and all your edits are saved as a new file, preserving the original version in case you ever want to go back and edit it differently.

The nine returning members are Nevada, UNLV, San Diego State, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Wyoming, Boise State and Fresno State.

NIGHT OF THE 30 POINT GAME: At Fresno State, senior Deonte Burton and sophomore Cole Huff accomplished a feat that has not been achieved in at least the last 14 years at Nevada as two Pack players scored 30 points in the same game. Both posted career-highs with Burton totaling 32 points and Huff 31. The 32 points is the top scoring game in MW play this season and the 31 by Huff is tied for the second highest scoring game in conference play.

After 12 MW games Nevada tops the conference in field goal percentage defense (39.6), three-point field goal percentage defense (29) and blocked shots per game (5.9). The Pack is fifth allowing 67.6 points per game.
Nevada totaled 12 blocks at Fresno State which is tied for the high in the MW this season and is the top total in conference play this year. At UNLV the Pack had 10 blocks which is tied for the second best total in MW play this season.
BURTON LOGGING HEAVY MINUTES: Senior point guard Deonte Burton is second in the country averaging 38.8 minutes per game. At Fresno State he played a career-high 49 minutes of a possible 50 in the double overtime win. With the return of sophomore Marqueze Coleman, Burton has been able to get some rest and played a season-low 32 minutes at UNLV but delivered a game-high 29 points.
Burton entered the UNLV game having played ever minute in a five-game stretch which included all 45 in the overtime game with Long Beach State. Going back to the 11:29 mark of the first half at Cal, Burton played 240 minutes and 22 seconds consecutively. The streak ended when he left the UNLV contest at the 13:09 mark of the first half.

At Bakersfield he played all 40 minutes.
HUFF HAS BREAKOUT GAME: Sophomore forward Cole Huff's breakout offensive game came at Fresno State when he nearly doubled his previous career high with 31 points in a career-high 47 minutes. Huff also set career bests with field goals made (11), field goals attempted (19), three-pointers made (6) and three-pointers attempted (10). His previous high was 16 points which he accomplished twice the season.
With 1 second to play in the first overtime his layup tied the game at 82 to force second overtime period. Huff's offensive rebound and put back against Air Force with 11 seconds to play sent that game into overtime as the Pack won 69-56.
Huff has scored in double figures in the last five games which is a career-long streak. In 12 of the last 17 games he has scored in double figures, twice he had nine points and twice totaled eight.
The 31 points at FS is tied for second best individual scoring game in MW play to teammate Deonte Burton's 32 that also came in the FS game. The six three-pointers made is tied for the top outing in MW play and tied for the second most made in the conference this season.
Huff's 21 points at Utah State is the second highest point total of his career. He made 7-of-11 field goals and 6-of-7 free throws.
Huff is third on the team averaging 11.8 points per game and is second grabbing 5.3 rebounds per game. In MW play his 13.6 points per game ranks 14th in the conference and 5.6 boards per game is 18th.
Starting all 25 games he has scored in double figures 15 times and seven times led the Pack in rebounding. For the first time in his career he led the team with 16 points versus Utah State. The 16 points also is the only time this season Deonte Burton or Jerry Evans, Jr. did not top Nevada in scoring.
Huff recorded his first career double-double and first of the season by a Pack player with 13 points and 10 rebounds in the Iona game. The 10 rebounds is a career high and he equaled it with 10 at San Jose State but fell two points short of a second double-double against the Spartans.
PEREZ LOOKING TO BOUNCE BACK: Junior guard Michael Perez is looking to bounce back from a recent cold stretch in which he has scored in double figures just four times in the last nine games. Against Colorado State he scored a season-low five points and followed that with eight against Air Force marking just the second time this season he did not score in double figures in back-to-back games. At Utah State he snapped the streak with a 12-point game. At #5 SDSU he attempted a season-low four shots making 2-of-4 three-pointers to finish with six points.
Despite his scoring struggles he continues to do the little things to help the Pack. It the last nine games he is averaging 9.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 35.7 minutes per game. Perez is shooting 31.5 percent (29-of-92) from the field and 23.9 percent (11-of-46) from behind the arc in those nine contests.
Perez, a transfer from UTEP sat out last season under NCAA transfer rules. He has filled the spot at shooting guard after the graduation of three-year starter Malik Story from last year's squad.
On the season he is fourth on the team averaging 11.3 points to go along with 3.2 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game.
The 6-3 guard has scored in double figures in 15 games on the season and made a three-pointer in every game but two at home, versus Utah State and Colorado State. Ten times in the last 16 games he scored in double figures.
In addition to the ranking third on the team in scoring he is second dishing out 3.2 assists per game and is fourth in rebounding.
At Fresno State he had a season-high seven assists and totaled six against CSU.
Perez scored a season-high 18 points three times; at UNLV, vs. #19 UCLA and at Cal. From the field he shoots 37.3 percent and 32.3 percent from behind the arc.
WEST PROVIDING INSIDE PRESENCE: Junior forward AJ West has provided the Pack an inside presence defensively and offensively. In the last five games he has 16 blocks and had a stretch of four in three consecutive games prior to totalling two in each of the last two games.
The 6-9 shot blocker had eight at Fresno State which is the top outing by a Nevada player in 14 seasons. West also grabbed a team season-high 13 rebounds playing a season-high 38 minutes. The eight blocks is the top performance in MW play this season and tied for the top outing in the conference.
In 14 games in the Silver & Blue, after being cleared by the NCAA to play, West is averaging 7.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in 26.2 minutes per contest.
West scored in double figures the first four MW games. In conference play he averages 8.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in 27.2 minutes per game with a shooting percentage of 57.4. The 3.0 blocks is tied for second in the MW and 8.3 rebounds is sixth. He ranks second in conference play grabbing 4.4 offensive boards per game.
At home against Wyoming he recorded his first double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. His second double-double came in the overtime win over Air Force when he totaled 10 points and 12 rebounds to go along with four blocks.
West took control in the AF overtime scoring seven consecutive points to break a tie at 56. In three consecutive Pack possessions he had offensive rebounds off teammates missed shots and scored seven consecutive points as part of Nevada's 13-0 run to end the game against the Falcons. He had five rebounds and two blocks in the extra period.
Three times he finished a rebound short of double-doubles with nine at SJSU, at UNLV and versus Colorado State.
At UNLV he scored 11 points, had nine rebounds and blocked a five shots. He has a block in ever game except the home Wyoming game and two or more in 10 games.
In his first game against Iona, West scored four points, grabbed five rebounds and blocked a shot in 17 minutes. Against LBSU he made his first start in which he scored six points, had five rebounds and blocked three shots in 24 minutes.
West averaged 10.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.1 blocks his sophomore year at Monroe College in New Rochelle, N.Y.
One piece of irony is that West's first game for the Pack came against another school from New Rochelle, N.Y. The Iona and Monroe College campuses are located 1.3 miles from each other.
BALANCED ATTACK: Nevada uses a balanced scoring attack with four players averaging double figures. All four are starters for the Wolf Pack. In three of the last five games and 11 times on the season the Pack has put four players in double figures in a game. The 11 games are; Pacific, at USF, vs. Chattanooga, vs. #19 UCLA, at UC Davis, vs. Iona, vs. Long Beach State, vs. Wyoming, vs. Colorado State, vs. Air Force and vs. Fresno State. The Pack is 7-4 in those 11 games.
Senior guard Deonte Burton leads the MW and ranks 22nd nationally averaging 20.4 points per game. Burton scored in double figures the first 17 games of the season before finishing with a season-low seven versus Boise State. After the season-low he responded with a career-high 32 at Fresno State which is the top scoring performance in MW play this season. He followed that with a game-high 25 at Wyoming. In MW action he averages 18.1 points per game to rank fourth in the conference.
Another senior guard Jerry Evans, Jr. is second on the team and 20th in the conference scoring 13.4 points per contest. Evans has scored in double figures in 17-of-24 games played.

Junior newcomer Michael Perez is fourth on the squad scoring 11.3 points per game. Perez has reached double figures 15 times on the season and scored a season-high 18 three times. In MW action he averages 10.2 points per game.
COLEMAN BACK: Sophomore guard Marqueze Coleman has played in the last 10 games after missing five with an eye injury that required surgery. Coleman has scored in nine of those games with exception being the game at Wyoming which is the only game he has not scored in this season. He will wear protective glasses the rest of the season.
Coleman's high point total since returning is nine at home against Air Force. The nine points is his high in the last 12 games
His return has allowed Deonte Burton to get needed rest. Burton played every minute in a five game stretch and just over 240 consecutive minutes played going back to the Cal game when Coleman was injured.
Coleman is averaging 6.5 points and 2.1 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game. He earned two starts early in the season for an injured Jerry Evans, Jr.
STEVENS, JR. PLAYS LAST THREE: Junior forward Ronnie Stevens, Jr. has played the last three games after missing 12 with a stress fracture that required surgery to repair. At Utah State he played 14 minutes and grabbed three rebounds. In the game at #5 SDSU he scored four points making his only two shot attempts in 16 minutes. Against Fresno State he played 14 minutes and grabbed two rebounds.
Stevens earned three starts prior to being sidelined and is averaging 3.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game. In the overtime win at UC Davis he had 13 points and nine rebounds in 31 minutes.
CARTER PASSES JOHNSON: The victory at SJSU gave fifth-year head coach David Carter his 80th career win at Nevada which moved him past his mentor Trent Johnson (1999-04) for eighth most in school history.
Carter is now 86-71 at Nevada and Johnson went 79-74 in his five seasons leading the Wolf Pack. Johnson brought Carter to Nevada as an assistant coach. Pat Foster (1993-99) is seventh with 90 wins.
BURTON TWICE NAMED MW PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Nevada senior guard Deonte Burton has twice been named MW Player of the Week this season and three times in his career. Burton was named Nov. 18 MW Player of the Week after averaging 26.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 steals as Nevada won a pair of road games, defeating Cal Poly (60-58) and San Francisco (92-90).
The most recent honor came on Jan. 13 when he averaged 21.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game while leading Nevada to a 2-0 record in conference play. The Pack won 74-71 at UNLV and defeated Utah State 62-54 at home. His game-high 29 points at UNLV moved him past 1,800 career points at Nevada.
BURTON MR. CLUTCH: Nevada fans have come to expect senior guard Deonte Burton to come through down the stretch as he has done throughout his career.
Against Wyoming Burton did it once again scoring the go ahead basket with 32 seconds to play to give the Pack a 59-58 lead over the Cowboys. A Wyoming shot with 4 seconds to go was no good and two free throws by Michael Perez sealed the victory.
Burton's second game-winning shot of the season came versus Chattanooga on Nov. 22 as he hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Pack an 83-81 victory over the Mocs. He scored a game-high 28 points.
Burton's heroics closed out the game at Cal Poly as he drove the lane and hit the bucket with 6.6 seconds to play to put the Pack up 59-58. He converted the free throw after being fouled and Nevada led 60-58. Burton was not done as he stole the ball and dunked it as the clock expired. The dunk did not count but put a cap on the comeback as Nevada scored the final six points after being down four with 17 seconds to play.
His junior season he produced three game-winning shots in front of the home faithful. In the World Vision Classic with Nevada trailing CS Fullerton 77-75 on Nov. 16, he drove the lane, scored and converted the free throw after being fouled to put the Pack up 78-77 with 14 seconds to play. It was not all offensive as he blocked a potential game winning layup at the other end of the court then sealed the victory with two more free throws to give him the last five points in a 80-77 Pack victory.
He delivered the next night against Green Bay hitting a game-winning three-pointer from deep behind the arc with 2 seconds on the clock to give the Pack the 71-69 victory over the Phoenix. This coming after GB had just gone ahead 69-68 on a three-pointer. Burton's three-pointer gave him exactly 1,000 career points in the Silver & Blue.
Against UC Davis on Nov. 28, 2012 he hit a jumper in the lane with 3 seconds on the clock to give Nevada an 84-83 victory over the Aggies. He finished with a game-high 26 points.
It started his sophomore year with a game-tying three-pointer to force overtime versus Washington. A game, the Pack would win 76-73 in overtime as he scored 8-of-10 points in the extra period.
The first game-winning shot of his career was a three-pointer as a sophomore with 11 seconds on the clock at home against Utah State giving the Pack a 53-52 victory.
10 YEARS AFTER SWEET 16: The 2013-14 season marks the 10th anniversary of the only University of Nevada men's basketball team to advance to the Sweet 16. The 2003-04 squad captured the Western Athletic Conference tournament title and entered the NCAA Championship with a 23-8 record.
Playing in Seattle, the 10th seeded Wolf Pack rallied from a 16-point first half deficit to defeat the seventh-seeded Michigan State Spartans 72-66. In the second round Nevada dominated second-seeded Gonzaga winning 91-72 to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history.
At the regional in St. Louis the Pack lost a close 72-67 game to Georgia Tech in the RCA Dome. The Pack finished the year 25-9.
Kirk Snyder was named WAC Player of the Year after averaging 18.8 points per game. Nick Fazekas (12.6 ppg) and Todd Okeson (11. 2 ppg) also averaged double figures.
ITALY TOUR: The Nevada men's basketball team took a 10-day trip to Italy in August and won all four games played. The Wolf Pack made stops in Milan, Lake Como, Venice, Florence and Rome. Highlights of the trip included Michelangelo's David, the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Vatican.
17 SECOND COMEBACK: Nevada trailed 58-54 at Cal Poly with just 17 seconds to play but scored the final six points to win 60-58. Michael Perez got it started with a 3-pointer from the top of the key to get the Pack within a point, 58-57. On the inbounds pass Cole Huff forced a jump ball resulting in a turnover for CP as the Pack got the possession.
Burton's heroics closed out the game as he drove the lane and hit the bucket with 6.6 seconds to play. He converted the free throw after being fouled and Nevada led 60-58. Burton was not done as he stole the ball and dunked it as the clock expired. The dunk did not count but put a cap on the comeback.
BURTON HONORED: Senior guard Deonte Burton has received several honors this season. Burton was named to the Mountain West preseason team for the second year in a row. He was selected to the CollegeSportsMadness.com preseason MW first-team.
Selected as one of the top 30 guards according to College Basketball Insider Gary Parrish of CBSSports.com and he ranked him 71st in his top 100 players.
He was named the Nov. 18 MW Player of the Week after averaging 26.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and hit the game-winning shot at Cal Poly. Burton earned honor once again on Jan. 13 when he averaged 21.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game while leading Nevada to a pair of MW games.
Competing in the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational he was selected to the all-tournament team after averaging 20 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists four games. His 3-pointer at the buzzer at home versus Chattanooga gave the Pack the 83-81 victory.
This past summer Burton was one of 29 collegiate basketball players that received an invitation from USA Basketball today to compete for a spot on the roster for the 2013 USA Basketball Men's World University Games. He did not earn a spot on the squad that competed in Kazan, Russia.

The newest title in the iLearnWith series was just released today and it looks to be another great title for preschoolers. This time around the focus is Math in iLearn with Boing: Savannah Adventures!. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test out the app so I'll give you a quick overview with information I've received from the developers, TribalNova.
The primary skills taught in Savannah Adventures! are counting, addition, ordering and subtracting. Secondary skills include number recognition, correspondence and visual discrimination. There are three games to be played.
- Numbers: Help the meerkat chef prepare his soup by identifying quantities of items between 1 and 20 and associating them with the written numbers.
- Ordering: Help the cute little frog cross the pond by choosing which lily pad to jump next. Your child needs to identify numbers in the correct order, increasing or decreasing, and recognize certain number patterns.
- Counting: Catch the right number of ostriches and get them in the truck before it leaves. Your child needs to add or subtract up to 20, taking into account groups of 2 or 3. Includes a two-player mode for parent-child or peer-to-peer gameplay.
If you've never tried a TribalNova app before then you're in for a treat. The apps that are a part of the iLearnWith program are especially for 3-6 year olds. They are cross curricular and interweave math, science and literacy no matter what the main focus of the app is. Levels of difficulty are self adjusting and there is a progress tracker for parents. Children will be able to earn rewards and medals and parents will find a recommended learning path just for their child. We have most of the iLearnWith apps and they have all been fantastic.
iLearnWith Boing: Savannah Adventures! is specially priced at $.99 for its launch. In addition to that you can download iLearnWith Boing: Ice Land Adventures! for free for a limited time.
Price when Reviewed: $.99 for a Limited Time

Just over a year ago, we became fascinated by the idea of discovering the world through someone else's eyes. What if you could see through the eyes of a protester in Ukraine? Or watch the sunrise from a hot air balloon in Cappadocia? It may sound crazy, but we wanted to build the closest thing to teleportation. While there are many ways to discover events and places, we realized there is no better way to experience a place right now than through live video. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but live video can take you someplace and show you around.

H-1B visa reform legislation is tightening the screws on outsourcing companies.
|Two US senators are reintroducing a stricter H-1B visa reform legislation to require outsourcing companies to hire U.S. citizens and to pay H1-B employees prevailing wages for the work.
The bill proposed by Sen Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, and Sen Charles Grassley of will hit Indian outsourcing leaders like TCS, Wipro and Infosys, each of whom sponsors 2,000 to 3,000 H1 B visas every year.
Sen Grassley recently asked Microsoft to lay-off foreign H-1B visa workers first before cutting U.S. citizens under its planned 5,000 job reductions.

Nagpur, Dec 22: The automobile and aircraft spare parts plant of Tata Automotive Solutions (TAS), a Tata Group company, being set up near here would be commissioned in July 2008, Maharashtra Airports Development Company (MADC) Vice Chairman-cum-Managing Director R C Sinha said.
Speaking at a function here yesterday, Mr Sinha said the plant, estimated to cost Rs 700 crore, would be the first industrial venture to be commissioned in the special economic zone (SEZ) that is part of the ambitious Multi-modal International Air Passenger and Cargo Hub at Nagpur (MIHAN) project in the city. It would make Nagpur the second location in India, after Bangalore (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited), with a unit manufacturing aircraft spare parts, he said.
TAS had tied-up with aviation giant Boeing for supply of aircraft parts, Mr Sinha said. Construction of the plant had begun and was expected to be completed by February next, he also said. Mr Sinha said MADC would develop the airports of Amravati and Chandrapur in Vidarbha region on an area of 1,000 acres each. In addition, a private pilot training institute is proposed to be set up in Amravati, he added.
Incidentally, Boeing has decided to set up a maintenance, repairs and overhaul (MRO) hub in the MIHAN SEZ, and has also taken physical possession of the 75 acres of land needed to set it up.

Cal 29 prop shaft question
Hi all,
Is it possible to re & re the prop shaft from the out side without removing the rudder on a Cal 29-2?
Hi... Welcome; always nice to see a BC'er join up.
Once you get up to 10 posts, PM member tommays if he doesn't chime in here soon. He'll have the answer.
Great. Thanks so much.
We had a 1976 Cal 2-29 for 25 years. They are great boats.
I agree the Cal 29 is a great old boat and most of the people i speak to who have had one remember it fondly, many saying they wish they never sold it.
I am currently undertaking a re-powering project where I had planed to do the work in the water and then change the shaft once the new engine was installed limiting the time on the hard and giving me a larger window to get the job done.
Thanks for your help.
Couldn't you pull it from inside the boat once the old engine is out and before you install the new engine?
Yes however I wanted to do the re & re in the water and I'm not brave enough to pull the shaft in the water even though i know many have done it. :)
You have to drop the rudder no big deal with a tiller a fair bit of PITA with a wheel OR do it when the motors out
IF it is blocked up the keel needs to be a good 11" off the ground OR you will be diging a hole :)
Thanks. I have wheel steering so I will do it with the engine out. And thank you for your blog. It is a wonderful resource to keep these old Cals alive. I hope to contribute as well with details on my re-power project. And if you ever find yourself on the west coast be sure to let us know.
fyi the rudder DOES NOT FLOAT...not even a little.

Spectrum 2013 A-level hosts St Patricks High School
Spectrum 2013 A-level hosts St Patricks High School
After the success of the last years science exhibition, the St Patricks High School A-level section once again hosted their premier event on Friday. A variety of schools with their teams and projects took part, all hoping to win the first prize.
After months of preparation by student organisers from St Patricks, it was finally the time to start. On the day, schools started to pour in one by one; each finding a stall and setting up their project. Very soon the exhibition was in full swing with a multitude of people coming in to see.
While the organisers and volunteers rushed to and fro, making sure all was well, the participants explained their inventions and concepts, left, right and centre to all the inquisitive minds present.
The exhibition had a two-hour break for Friday prayers and a delicious lunch before it was back in full swing. Throughout the event, esteemed judges turned up to evaluate and allocate points to each team. These included representatives from PIA, esteemed teachers Roque and Bilalwal, and the respected Chief Guest Rear Admiral Imdad Imam Jaffri of the Pakistan Navy Engineering College.
Finally, for the closing ceremony, there were performances by a renowned musician as well as from the St Patricks Harmonics Society. A speech was made on the FDSK organisation by a student of St Patricks. Sir Dolan Rodriguez, Dean Of St Pats A-levels and Rear Admiral Jaffri both talked about the success of the Spectrum. Finally, the top three positions were announced. A team from Aga Khan College won the 2nd Runner up while two different teams from Habib Girls Secondary School won 1st runner up and 1st place respectively.
The success of Spectrum 2013 goes to all the organisers from St Patricks High School, all of whom worked tirelessly to make it a reality. Credit goes to the sponsors, including Success Factor, the primary sponsor, as well as HTC, Johnson & Johnson, Allied CAT Rental and several others. Media sponsors Dawn news, Aaj news, and Geo news all played their part and did a fine job of interviewing some of the students present. All in all, the Spectrum 13 made its mark, and Spectrum 14 will have to live up to high expectations.

A Celebration of Leonard Bernstein: Carnegie Hall Opening Night 2008 (DVD)
The San Francisco Symphony conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas celebrates the music of Leonard Bernstein in a very special Opening Night gala at Carnegie Hall.
The Orchestra's sold-out Carnegie Hall concert kicked off a New York City-wide tribute to composer Leonard Bernstein, who would have celebrated his 90th birthday this year. The 90-minute DVD, recorded in high definition and 5.1 surround sound, features music from a wide variety of Bernstein's stage works, from such early triumphs as West Side Story and On the Town to later works Mass and A Quiet Place.
Praise for A Celebration of Leonard Bernstein:
"…a joyous celebration of a great musical spirit."
Pittsburgh Tribune Review
"It's hard to bring off this kind of populist mix without seeming to pander. But Michael Tilson Thomas has the breadth, depth, and showmanship to do it."
The New York Times
"…performed with rare, infectious gusto by Thomas and an all-star ensemble."
New York Daily News
"…a joyous tribute…"
Associated Press
"…re-creating the master's music with an exuberance that makes everyone glad to be there. A great show all around."
Musical America
"…hearing this great American orchestra play this music, one realizes that it takes an American orchestra to play it."
San Francisco Chronicle
"…this is a show with something to say."
Los Angeles Times

Neal's Deli; Carrboro, North Carolina
"I was going around town tasting meatball subs but was disappointed by all of them because they were really bland and not meaty," sayschef-owner Matt Neal. "That's when I said, I'm making my own." Neal didn't have to look far to find the supplier of his ground beef and pork; he gets them from Cliff's Meat Market, across the street from the restaurant. He mixes the meat with garlic, toasted bread crumbs, milk and herbs, then rolls them into large balls and bakes them, flipping them once so they're browned on two sides. The tender, oversize pork-and-beef meatballs are served stuffed into a warm hero roll with melted provolone cheese and homemade chunky tomato sauce. "They're pretty meaty and garlicky," says Neal. "I try to do a quintessential rustic version of dishes." nealsdeli.com

DIY Rear diff (w/ LSD) pic by pic fluid change! PIC
Honestly this is easier then changing the oil of the car! I can see doing this every 25-30k mi since it's so hassle free. For the AWD folks here is also the front diff: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...l#post10551018
Here's what you need:
10mm Hex Socket
Ratchet (Flexi-head makes it easy but not neccessary)
Drain pan
Fluid pump is ideal and makes it A LOT easier but you can use the long tube and gravity has always worked for me.
2.5 Pints of Diff fluid GL-5
~4OZ (3.38 to be exact) Limited slip aditive GM Part No. 1052358
2.7 Pints of fluid with the additive already added (what I chose)
First jack the car up. I use a combination of 3 jacks and 4 stands. I use two jacks in front of the car to adjust the the levelness of the car and keep two stands in place in cas they fail. But one of the jacks has a lock so even if it fail it would not fall. But you can never be too safe! Especially with our 4300lb land barges! I also jacked the driver side *just* a few degrees higher to get the fluid to drain to the drain hole as much as possible!
Ok the pics.
Here is to get some orientation. Don't open your drain plug just yet!!!
Now find your fill plug. It is right under your passenger side axle. There is plenty of space to reach up with almost nothing in your way.
Insert your 10mm hex socket
Then your ratchet
Clearview to show how much room you'll have
Fill plug removed. It honestly took very little effort to get it out with almost no resistance after the intial break you can simply unscrew with our hand. There are definitly some shavings made me cringe to see it...
But it gets worse...drain plug removed. Get your pan and towels ready because it will simply shoot out like a straight beam of black liquid! And the smell! It's almost like gasoline and engine oil!
If you think the fill plug was bad check out the drain plug which is magnetized!
The big shavings are wiped off
What's left is *very* fine shavings that is almost putty like. (careful they will stain your hands and clothes and is a pain to get out!)
After a few towel wipings it'll look like this!
Re: DIY Rear diff (w/ LSD) pic by pic fluid change! PIC
Now for the tools and fluids in the ready. But at this point I let the diff drain in the mean time I went and prepared to drain the front diff.
Ok! While the front diff is draining I went back put the drain plug in and position the hose over the exhaust piping to reduce the chance of the hose popping out while I am pumping.
When you get to the bottom of the bottle I actually grabbed the bottom of the bottle and used the bottom of the suspension to push against the top of the pump like so!
Keep pumping until you see it overflowing past the fill hole. In this scenario I actually lowered the driver side just a *few* degrees.
Plug it back up and you're done!
Any suggestions, feedback, or questions feel free to ask guys!

Nice writeup.
I was on a Forum where we had a "Knowledgebase" where folks would put in writeups such as the one you just did. It was an excellent part of our forum.
I have taken the time to copy and paste writeups such as yours and place them in my own Knowledgebase so I have these things readily accessible for when I need them instead of having to take the time to hunt all over these digital ones and zeros.
If anyone needs a copy I am happy to share it. Just PM me your real email address so I can send it to you. I can't send it via this Forum's PM system.

My front drain plug had more "sludge" while my rear drain plug had more shavings and looked almost identical to OP's:

Re: DIY Rear diff (w/ LSD) pic by pic fluid change! PIC
When I opened the rear fill plug, there wasnt any "excess" fluid unlike the front.
When I opened the front fill plug, quite a bit of fluid came pouring out.
After filling the rear, I waited until the excess fluid essentially came to a slow drip before replacing the plug.
I left a little more fluid in the front diff since there was so much to begin with. I replaced the plug once the fluid came to a medium paced drip.
