This is simple. Let the Raiders move to L.A.
Ok, not so simple?
0. San Diego is a great place to play football, isn't it? It's not competing with L.A is it?
1. San Francisco is also a great place to play football. New Stadium? Just raise the money, it's not like they can't find a buck in SF, is it?
2. Oakland is plainly competing with the 49ers.
3. The Raiders are seriously L.A. style. Am I wrong? Dodger Fan is Raider Fan with different color facepaint.
4. Stealing the Rams? C'mon, man. Dumb.
5. The only other candidate is the Giants. No, no one is talking about that. Yes, they would move. yes, they would get their own stadium, and who wants to share a stadium with the Jets? That stench lingers, trust me.
Really the NFL should anoint the Raiders.
Now, admittedly, the Raiders are no prize. L.A. might not want them. And Kroenke had the land and the money to make the Rams the L.A. Rams... Which is a slap to St. Louis. So the 49ers are the front runners.
But then the NFL can expand. New NFC team to replace the Rams. And a new AFC team, where? Alabama? Austin/San Antonio? Yup.
It's all about the Benjamins, though..

The NFL free agent/legal tampering/most.important.sports.event.in.early.May is well underway. What's important?
- The Dolphins get Ndamukong Suh, giving them a pretty nasty defensive line. This will give them great comfort when the Patriots treat them to a warm reception in Foxboro, and even more comfort when Tom Brady takes his one sack and burns them repeatedly. Welcome to the Patriots world. Oh, wait, they know that world. It won't change for them.
- The Buffalo Bills got a new coach (Rex Ryan didn't come as a free agent, granted) and he got some new toys. Percy Harvin at WR, but the real news was trades. Matt Cassel, LeSean McCoy, Richie Incognito. Good moves. Rex Ryan knows all about losing to the Patriots. It will be more competitive in Buffalo but not competitive enough.
- And the Jets got a new coach, Tood Bowles, a defensive wiz. He's got Darrell Revis, Antonio Cromartie, and Marcus Gilchrist. Good defensive tools. Oh, and a quarterback competition, Ryan Fitzpatrick traded from Houston, where they tried to burn him out. But ownership will fail him, and the Patriots will not.
So, the Patriots lost Shane Vereen, RB, a really versatile player. Revis, Browner, top cornerbacks in a passing league. Belichick will retool, plan around lesser talents, and probably trade for an unrealized talent. As usual. I'm not too concerned. He will do what needs to be done, and the Pats have some cap money to throw around. Devin McCourty was retained. Critrical. He's young, home-grown, quietly swaggering, and worth the money.
Which leads to their lack of action in the free agent market. Not.
Chimdi Chekwa is a typical BB signing, an underperformer in Oakland. He could really shine in a well run program, wher he knows the effort is rewarded with legitimate aspirations to Super Bowl victory. It can't be easy to get self-motiviated as a Raider.
Brandon Gibson from Miami. The Patriots LOVE to steal productive players from division rivals, as their rivals love to do to them.
Kevin Dorsey from Green Bay, a competent receiver.
Jonathan Freeny also from Miami, is a special teams contributor, fulfilling one of BB's key requirements, multiple roles.
Jabaal Sheard has shown signs of being a pass rusher. With coaching and scheming, he may be more productive than previously.
Yes, I'm ever hopeful. The Patriots always look for value, and restocking at defense will be tough. Repeating at the Super Bowl is the goal, but so is building a contender for 2016.
Overall I am pleased. Good choices..

Along with politics, policy, Christ, and computers, I love talking and writing about sports. So I'll start writing about them here, of course...
So far this has been a fantastic year, starting with the Patriots winning Super Bowl XVIX. So a few thoughts on this:
- Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the NFL. He just is. There are faster, more mobile, stronger, longer-throwing, taller quarterbacks, but none better. Peyton suffered from an injury and so did Rodgers, Wilson only needs a few more years, and Flacco just needs a little more team. But Brady is now the top of the heap.
- The Patriots out-played and out-coached the Seahawks in the last minute. Butler both played heads-up ball taking Lockette out of bounds on that impossible catch, saving a touchdown, but he followed his coaching, saw the play, and went for the ball. Browner drove his man off-rout, making that interception possible, and Wilson didn't quite put the ball where it would be safe. An entire season comes down to 3 seconds of a pass play.
Belichick out-coached Carroll. He showed a run defense, and the Seahawks blinked.
But enough of that. Just a fabulous season for the Patriots. If they can keep key free agents, there is good reason to hope they can repeat..

New Generation Of Fabricated And Flexible Organic Solar Cells To Increase Efficiency
German researchers are developing a new generation of solar cells to improve the energy conversion efficiency. A bunch of promising researchers from the Light Technology Institute of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are the pioneers of this new project. The project is supposed to be finished in four years as it is the deal now which aims to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells to more than 10 percent. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research has already granted funding of EUR 4.25 million.

Thanks to a bizarre clause in the CBA, the teams that made the conference championship games – the Vikings, Saints, Colts and Jets – will be prohibited from signing any unrestricted free agent once free agency begins until they lose one of their own. However, because the Vikings have locked most of their veteran stars into contracts, Taylor is one of the few unrestricted free agents that will hit the market. It would appear as though the Vikings are looking at options moving forward that don't include the veteran running back.
There has been some discussion that the Vikings will take a page from the San Diego Chargers and potentially slap the franchise tag on Taylor to prevent him from becoming an unrestricted free agent, which, for all intents, would likely keep the Vikings out of free agency almost entirely. However, the recent signing of running back DeDe Dorsey – a former Colt and Bengal – by the Detroit Lions Tuesday may be shedding some light on the Vikings' plans.
A story in The Detroit News stated before Dorsey signed a two-year contract with the Lions, he received contract offers from the Vikings and Rams. Dorsey was a third-down back in Indianapolis behind Joseph Addai and was a special-teams standout, which might be the reason the Vikings were interested in him. But the timing of the contract offer may be a precursor to the Taylor tenure with the Vikings nearing its conclusion. We will likely find out more information in the coming weeks as to what the Vikings' long-term or short-term plan is regarding Taylor, but one thing that is certain is that Taylor is going to be paid next month – whether it is by the Vikings or someone else.

Great news. She sounds like a keeper!
Update: I thought it might be a passing thing with my wife. However, she has called people to act as references on the application (Don't get me started on that requirement). The check for the course is written and submitted, and she is now talking about the need to buy the ammo for the range portion.
The idea that she would call people and say "I am going to get my CCW" is far beyond what I ever thought she would do. Now for the references thing, I understand that the Sheriff's department actuall call them, but the legislature is what dictate's is on the application. I am still in the daze over this.
A wise man told me once "if you know how many guns you have, you don't have enough". Take the opportunity to give her one of yours and get another. It's still your gun and you get to add another one to your collection.
Give one get one,but hide your favorite before she makes her selection
good for her,my wife jumped on board also
its a good feeling to know you have some back up !
First thing you need to do is demand the aliens bring your real wife back! J/K
As to her gun, let her pick out what she wants. Granted you want to guide her in the process, to make sure she doesn't pick out a piece of junk, but let her make the ultimate decision on what she will carry.
It won't be long after that, you'll have your 1 carry gun, and the rest will be hers. :rofl:
For mine, I registered her in a woman's defense course. That was great, because the instructor had several different types of guns and ran her through all of them. She got to hear the pros and cons of each one and decide what she liked best. After that, we took her to the LGS and she picked herself out a Walther PPS 9mm as her personal carry. She loves it. Doesn't carry as much as I would like, but I'm happy when she does!
As my kindergarten teacher taught me, sharing is caring.
Sorry dude, you're gonna "lose" some of your guns.
For a lot of us here, buying guns is addictive. Like tattoos and cigarettes. Maybe you can turn this into, you buy her a gun for a special occasion, maybe she buys you a gun for Christmas or your birthday. The best gifts I have ever received are firearms.
Buy the gun for her. Be sure to pick out something you want very much but you know she won't care for it at all. Then take her to your favorite gun shop & let her choose her own. Maybe something in pink, lol.
Her first gun needs to be just hers.
If she really finds she likes shooting.... you'll need to hide your ammo..... Congrats to her though.
Congrats:smile: Im blessed in the fact that according to my wife we cant own enough firearms or ammo to suit her. So finances are the only thing that keeps us from having a truckload of everything LOL. She can shoot anything from a 22 to a 357 though shes more comfortable with 9mm, or 40. 45 not so much. Go figure.:confused:
She was all up for getting her ccl then all the BO and anti stuff started and she balked. OC is very legal here with no permit at all. So at home or if she has to go out alone which is practically never she OCs. No record or paper which she likes. I think shes catching on though that I have a ccl and that pretty much nailed her too unless she divorces me LOL.
I did see some talking a tag team defense and thats great if your comfortable with that. Personally I want her armed so that if the shooting starts she can get as far away as possible and take care of anything that stands in her way if she needs too to accomplish that. My primary is that if we are together that she gets away unmarked. What happens to me is secondary as long as she is safe. And away from the action but armed just in case is where she is safest.
Glad to hear your wife is taking an interest. :danceban:
My wife had her own (9mm Shield) but she decided she liked my full size Ruger SR1911 instead. So, she got that and I went in search of another one and found a Ruger SR1911 Commander. We both are quite happy. Not sure how she likes lugging around a heavy gun like that but it is her choice and a happy wife makes for a happy life. LOL

On a warm, sun-splashed Saturday afternoon, history was made on the Summit Christian Academy campus.
You see, the Summit Christian Academy Eagles played their very first home varsity football game Sept. 14. Maybe the outcome didn't matter as much, a 12-0 loss to the University Academy Gryphons, as what this moment meant to the players, coaches, students, parents, staff and anyone else associated with the school.
"I really believe this first game was awesome for us," Eagles head coach Dalton Vann said. "We had a nice crowd for a school in its first varsity football game. It still hurts when you lose it, but the significance of having football at our school just proves that God is still working. He brought us a team. He brought us a field. He got us bleachers. We've got kids from all over. I've got a wonderful staff as well."
This was the moment a foundation had been set for future football players to build upon. Listen to senior wide receiver and linebacker Donovan Kim who played in his last, first home game:
"It means so much to me," Kim said about being a part of this program. "I remember growing up wanting to play football and knowing that there's a football team here, it's a great experience. Everyday we're getting better. Everyday we're growing. We're learning a lot. It's fun to be with my favorite people, my favorite coaches, playing the game we love. I'll be excited to come back with my kids when I'm older to tell them that I was on that first team and see how much this school and football program have grown."
Vann knows he has a tough road to hoe with a very young squad at a very small school, but that's not necessarily a negative.
The Eagles, 0-3, play two freshmen quarterbacks in Sam Huckabee and Camden Sprouse who will gain valuable experience during the next four years. Then there is freshmen running back Tori Hicks who shows speed and agility. And finally, sophomore wide receiver/defensive back Ross Parke, who has good size and could continue to grow during the rest of his high school career.
"We're just waiting for a breakout," Parke said. "The coach's told us we needed to have faith in each other and, if we stick together, we'll be able to execute."
In the Eagles two previous contests, they fell to Normandy 38-14 in week one and then to Sedalia Sacred Heart 20-14 in week two. They have stayed competitive in all three of their games.
"I'm truly blessed to be in the situation I'm in and be a head coach at a school where you can profess your faith anytime you want to," Dalton said. "Leading these kids to become young men of Christ, that's the ultimate goal. If you can do that, it'll be better than any touchdown you could ever score.
"I've got a very, very young football team, and they are competing. Sometimes we have seven freshmen on the football field, and I don't know if anybody else can say that, but they are competing and doing a great job."

Category: Biblical names for girls
Washington State berry Katy is a mother to three girls with meaningful names and spirited nicknames, a tradition she'd like to continue with her fourth child. Can this berry find a name that fits her criteria and her sibset? Here is what she says:
"My husband Colin and I are expecting baby #4! We have 3 daughters, 6 year-old twins Isobel Rose & Liv Michaela, and a 3 year-old Zoie Grace. Isobel's name means pledged to God, Zoie and Liv's names mean life.
We don't know the gender of the baby yet, but we've been searching for a name that has a meaning similar to Isobel's. We want to stay consistent. So far we've come up with Jack, Matthias, & Theodore (our favorite) for a little boy and for a little girl we found Elliot (our favorite), Libby, & Thea.
As a fledgling name nerd, I remember being fascinated by the name Elizabeth. It was so elaborate, so odd for a name that had been so widely used over so many centuries. John, sure, that was a name simple and straightforward enough for the masses to get behind. Anne and Mary, of course they had what it took to transcend the ups and downs of fashion. But Elizabeth, with its long E beginning and lisping ending, its bizarre z in the middle and its four freaking syllables? I don't think so!
And yet the unlikely Elizabeth has endured. It's the only girls' name to have remained in the Top 25 (okay, 26) throughout entire recorded American baby-naming history, since 1880. Elizabeth hit its nadir in 1945, when it dipped to number 26, but it should be noted that its short form Betty was Number 11 that year, after having been in the Top 10 since 1921. Even when Elizabeth and her sisters were relatively unpopular, they were everywhere.
Elizabeth, which means "pledged to God," springs from the ancient Hebrew custom of referencing God — or El — in a name's prefix or suffix. The ancient Hebrew form of the name is Elisheva.

With the release of cnMaestro you can now ditch the CNS server *AFTER* you've upgraded your radios to 2.5+ The text files ap.txt and cpe.txt are simply one IP per line. I got these from my network management software (a simple SQL query for all Cambium ePMP AP and Cambium ePMP CPE). This was done in PC with:
SELECT e.DeviceType,
INET_NTOA(e.IPAddress + a.StartAddress) AS 'IP Address'
FROM Equipment e
INNER JOIN Customer c ON c.CustomerID=e.EndUserID
LEFT OUTER JOIN AddressRange a ON e.IPType = a.AddressRangeID
WHERE e.Type LIKE '%Access Point%'
AND e.DeviceType LIKE '%Cambium ePMP AP%'
GROUP BY e.ID
ORDER BY c.CustomerID;
This simply requires SNMP access and snmputils to work.
#use this to identify your radio versions (it needs 2.5+)
#while read -r radioip; do
# echo "Querying" $radioip

In my case I needed to move a machine from a headless box to an ESXi server. The VMWare tool does not support software raid.
I started by installing the OS on the new box with the same partition layout. This takes care of all of the mbr and boot stuff. The critical part, though, is / with the configuration, installed programs and any amount of data. I used nc to do this and did it very painlessly.
#server you're sending files to
nc -l 1024 > backup4.tgz
#client you're backing up
tar -cvpz –one-file-system / | nc neon.imaginenetworksllc.com 1024
#boot the new box aka new client with a linux live cd and mount the partition
mkdir /mnt/sda3
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3
nc -l 1024 | tar -xvpzf – -C /mnt/sda3
#on that backup server
cat backup4.tgz | nc NEW.BOX.COM 1024
In my case I just installed the OS on the box so it had grub and the boot partition all done. What makes this box is the files in /.
Moving from ext3 partitions on md0 devices directly to sda1 I have to tell it to mount correctly.
*eth0.bak has the ip config

This project is simply amazing. The download includes the binary and other files. Simply execute gt5 from where it is extracted or more wisely place it in /bin/gt5 so you can run it from anywhere. You can specify any directory (ie: gt5 /).
*stores previously ran information and will show you the different (in bytes)
*very nice easy interface
*largest (percentage) at the top to narrow down where the disk usage is
*runs on nearly any system with included utilities (du for example)
Output is done in HTML and easily shown after parsing with the included tool, again with the simple execution of gt5 /
It took a bit of digging to find a good program that would work directly in the shell for headless machines. This one is simply fantastic.

If you see these you will need to reboot your machine. It fixed it for me on my attempt to install Vmware vSphere Converter 6.0.0. It appears there is a lock of some sort that prevents the installer to complete. All other search came up dry for the solution so I thought I would post it here for some visibility.
The boot loader should be changed to something like:
vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img linux text telnet ip=Give-IP-Address netmask=Give-Netmask
SRC http://www.unixmen.com/install-centos-6-5-remotely-using-telnet/

Nov. 10, 2011
By David DeCordova | UAB Athletic Media Relations
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - UAB freshman guard K.C. Whitaker starts his Division I career as part of a signing class that includes three new freshmen with six new players in total. Whitaker plans to use his sharp-shooting skills to help a team that has high hopes coming off of a 22-9 record, which earned them an outright Conference USA regular season championship along with a trip to NCAA Tournament.
Coming out of high school, Whitaker piled up the accomplishments. He was tabbed a two time all-conference performer and, was named the most valuable player of his team in 2010. He helped lead Flint Hill (Va.) High School to back-to-back league titles.
However, Whitaker had to overcome a massive roadblock late his senior year after he suffered a broken left arm on a breakaway layup opportunity. The 70th-rated top player in the states of Maryland and Virginia according to CapitolHoops.com, was now off every college coaches' radar.
"I was on a breakaway and as I went up for the layup I was fouled and landed right on my shooting (left) arm and broke it," Whitaker said, "When that happened, I was about two to three weeks away from confirming my arrival to Saint Mary's" (D-III school in Pennsylvania)."
During his recovery, he was told by his high school coach, Rico Reed, to look into prep schools to further his playing time and hopefully get another shot at a scholarship.
"I was told by my high school coach to look into prep schools in the area," Whitaker said. "I attended a try out and everything opened back up with recruiting and started to get a lot of offers."
Whitaker decided to join Fishburne Academy (Va.) after his senior year came to a screeching halt. Whitaker spoke highly of his former prep school coach, Ed Huckaby, on how he prepared him for the D1 level.
"When I started practicing with coach Huckaby, it was so much different than any other coach I had at that point," Whitaker said. "He was already at the D-I coaching level, which was way more intense. It was another step up for me in my career."
There is no doubt that Whitaker's strength is his shooting ability. as he averaged a phenomenal 53-percent shooting from beyond the arc coming out of Fishburne. He admits that developing his shot took years of practice, but in his childhood is where he began to see that he had the skills to become pretty good at his favorite pastime.
"I realized it when I was young actually," Whitaker said. "I was home schooled through my ninth grade year and anytime I had a break or something, I would just go outside and shoot every chance I got. Since it was a driveway we didn't have anything marked off so I never realized how far I was shooting from."
Whitaker took his new-found talents to organized sports around age 10.
"I started playing in leagues around my sixth grade year and always shot threes because of the way I practiced in the driveway at home, it was just easy for me."
Since arriving on campus, Whitaker has enjoyed getting used to his home away from Ashburn, Va. It was actually made easier because his sister, Hanna Beth, has actually joined Whitaker here at UAB and is a manager with the men's basketball team as well.
Since adjusting to his new team and system, he explains how it is playing for UAB Head Coach Mike Davis.
"He pushes you everyday and he see's everything on the court so whenever you think he's not looking and you mess up, he definitely sees it."
Whitaker was pleasantly surprised with the amount of trust Davis has put in him since practicing with the team.
"I didn't realize how much he was going to put the ball in my hands but I'm enjoying every minute of it."

China has had a lot of business challenges lately. Between lead in toys, poison in pet food, and just today an article on blue-ear pig disease, it would be nice to have some good news.
So it was great to hear today that China now has a new IBM System p5-575 supercomputer cluster to work on weather models for the Olympics in Beijing. The Beijing Meteorological Bureau announced that it has acquired this IBM supercomputer to aid in weather forecasting and air-quality control.
The 80-node IBM System p5-575 delivers peak performance of 9.8 teraflops, ranking it among the ten fastest supercomputers in China, according to the Top 500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers.
Good thing computers can also help in manufacturing and pandemics.

Silicide-to-silicon specific contact resistance characterization : test structures and models
Stavitski, Natalie (2009) Silicide-to-silicon specific contact resistance characterization : test structures and models. thesis.
Restricted to Repository staff only
|The performance of Si integrated circuits depends on the transistor drive
current. The drive current of a MOS transistor is determined by the total
device resistance, which consists of the channel resistance and the parasitic
resistances associated with dopant diffusion areas and contacts. It is expected
that the contact resistance between silicide and source/drain regions will
significantly contribute to the total series resistance. The reduction of this
contact resistance and the corresponding specific contact resistance is an
important issue. Thus the ability to accurately obtain the specific silicide-tosilicon contact resistance is essential for contact processing. It therefore
requires dedicated test structures and a reliable extraction method of this
specific contact resistance. The main purpose of this thesis is to develop and examine various types of test structures and the corresponding models for silicide-to-silicon specific contact resistance characterization.

text: Still, any rumpus is likely to be tempered by licensing agreements and technological protection, such as digital watermarks, that would help prevent illegal duplication of downloaded content. One network source says the networks "aren't particularly exercised" because the overwhelming majority of people are going to continue to watch shows on their full-screen televisions, not on small mobile devices. This person adds that "while we may see incremental usage, it won't amount to a sea change in viewership patterns." Ultimately, the question may boil down to how or if licensing fees are allocated. While the TiVo TV download play appears to be legal as long as individual users don't share files and proper protections are in place, the idea could face objections from producers and TV production companies, for example, which often enjoy rights across different formats. "It is a legal issue," says a media consultant who didn't want to be named. "The question is who owns the file, and the Supreme Court ruled essentially that you can copy it for personal use but not for performance or licensing purposes." That source says that TiVoing a program, much like taping a show with your VCR and then playing the tape on your other VCR/TV, is legal and that the iPod is essentially just another screen.

The Jaguars scored their first basket at the 6:03 mark on a Danielle Lawrence layup. Back-to-back baskets from Davenport pushed Omaha's lead to 11 points with 2:18 left in the period. Allex Brown's bucket with 1:59 remaining cut UNO's lead to nine, 13-4. Two Shaw 3-pointers closed out the quarter giving Omaha a 19-4 lead.
Lujan opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer as the Mavericks' lead grew to 18 points. A pair of 3-pointers brought IUPUI within 12 points with 7:57 left in the stanza, 22-10. The Mavericks responded with an 11-0 run over the next 4:47 pushing the lead to 23 points. Hoopingarner and Sydney Hall each hit threes to draw IUPUI within 35-16 late in the period. Shaw hit her fourth trey of the half to make the score at intermission, 38-16.
IUPUI opened the second half with a 5-2 run to cut the Omaha lead to 19 points. The two teams exchanged baskets the remainder of the period, but the Jaguars were unable to get closer than 18 points. The Mavericks scored the final five points of the quarter on a trey from Dapprich and a layup from Shaw to lead 53-31.
Omaha grabbed its largest lead of the game at 62-38 with a Vaccher layup midway through the fourth quarter. The Jaguars scored the final six points of the game to make the final 64-44.
The Mavericks shot .500 (27-of-54) from the floor, .368 (7-of-19) from 3-point range and .750 (3-of-4) from the free-throw line. IUPUI shot just .298 (17-of-57) from the field, .269 (7-of-26) from long range and .600 (3-of-5) from the line. Omaha held a 37-31 advantage in rebounding.

The sophomore went 4-of-4 at UCF, 7-of-7 vs. York and 4-of-4 vs. IUPUI. She currently leads the Summit League in field goal percentage (.584).
Mikaela Shaw made her 100th consecutive start on New Year's Day and now has 101 starts following her start against IUPUI on Thursday. Shaw needs only two more starts to move ahead of Jamie Nash (2009-12) for fifth place all-time and should pass Lindsey Petersen's (2000-04) 110 career starts later this season.
Got a Minute?
This season nine different Mavericks are averaging 10-or-more minutes per game. Mikaela Shaw averages 30.7 minutes per game to lead Omaha. Three other Mavericks – Remy Davenport (29.6 mpg), Amber Vidal (26.3 mpg) and Michaela Dapprich (25.6) – average over 25 minutes per game.
…and Still Counting

Michaela Dapprich reached double figures for the seventh time this season by scoring 18 points against IUPUI. Dapprich has gone over 20 points twice in a game and is averaging 11.5 points per game.
Winning Big
Omaha's eight wins have come by an average margin of 32.6 points this year. The Mavericks have won by 20 twice this season and have beaten the opposition by at least 49 points on two occasions.
UNO's 106 points were the most scored in a single game this season eclipsing the 98 points scored against Lincoln University on Dec. 1, 2016.
Shaw Selected Summit League Player of the Week
Mikaela Shaw was named Summit League Women's Basketball Player of the Week for her performance Dec. 12-18, the conference office announced Monday. Shaw collected her first player of the week selection this season and the second of her career. She led the Mavericks with 22 points and nine rebounds in a 70-50 win over Florida A&M on Sunday. Shaw added five assists and three steals with just one turnover against the Rattlers. The senior shot 61.5 (8-of-13) from the field and had a 5.0 assist/turnover ratio.
Tough Enough
Five teams on Omaha's non-conference schedule appeared in the postseason last year – Abilene Christian, Colorado State, Creighton, Kansas State and Nebraska. Abilene Christian and Colorado State won conference titles and had a combined record of 57-6 last year. CSU won the Mountain West and played in the NCAA National Tournament, while ACU won the Southland Conference regular-season title and appeared in the WNIT. Kansas State finished the 2015-16 season 19-13 overall and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Creighton and Nebraska also earned berths in the WNIT.
On Top of the Summit
Omaha leads the Summit League in opponent's field goal percentage (.375). UNO is second in assists (17.5), field goal percentage (.448), rebound margin (+5.5) and defensive rebounds (26.9). The Mavericks are third in 3-pointers made (8.5), 3-pointers attempted (22.8), and steals (7.9).
Mikaela Shaw leads the league in total defensive rebounds with 93 and rebounds per game (8.1). Shaw is second in total rebounds (122). She is also third in field goals (92-of-187) and assists (61). Additionally, Courtney Vaccher leads the league with a .584 field goal percentage.
Leading the Way

Ellie Brecht scored a career-best 22 points against Lincoln University. The sophomore guard went 8-of-13 from the field including a 6-of-10 effort from 3-point distance. Brecht added two more treys against Kansas State. She is now 18th all-time in made treys with 67 and needs two more to move past Ashley Freerksen (2005-06) into 17th place.
Arc Madness
Omaha has made 127 3-pointers through 15 games while shooting 37.1 percent from deep. Every player on the roster has connected on at least one trifecta. UNO has made 10 or more threes seven times this season.
Mikaela Shaw has two double-doubles this season and 23 for her career. The senior forward had 17 points and 13 rebounds against UCF on Dec. 20. Since the transition to NCAA Division I, only Shaw and Paige Frauendorfer have over 10 double-doubles. Frauendorfer accomplished the task 17 times in two seasons at the Division I level.
Super Sub
Marissa Preston has appeared in every game averaging 17.3 minutes per game. Preston is shooting .469 percent (23-of-49) from the field and .471 percent (16-of-34) from beyond the 3-point arc.
Top 10 Performer
Mikaela Shaw has cracked the top 10 in all-time scoring and rebounding this season. She passed Jennifer Mitchell (1998-01) for seventh place on the career scoring chart with 1,507 points and needs only 13 points to surpass Jackie Scholten's (1983-86) 1,519 points for seventh place. Shaw passed former teammate Paige Frauendorfer (2009-12) for seventh place and is 72 rebounds shy of catching Laura Anderson (1984-87) for sixth place.
Shaw is the program's all-time leader in defensive rebounds with 557, surpassing Tanya Hammes' (1999-2002) mark of 502. She needs only 20 offensive boards to set the career record.
Davenport from Downtown
Remy Davenport averaged 10.3 points per game and was one of the top 3-point shooters in the Summit League last season. She leads the team with 30 3-pointers this season and has connected from deep in 13 games this season.
The junior guard now ranks fourth in program history with 157 career treys. She needs 57 more trey's to become the program's all-time leader. She connected on 65 3-pointers and set the UNO single-game record with 10 made treys against Denver on Jan. 17, 2016.
At a Glance: 2015-16
Omaha finished the 2015-16 season with a record of 15-15 (7-9 Summit League). Mikaela Shaw and former Maverick Caroline Hogue earned All-Summit League recognition, as Shaw garnered First-Team accolades and Hogue earned a spot on the All-Newcomer team.
In its first year after completing its transition to Division I, UNO picked up its first Summit League Tournament victory, defeating third-seeded IUPUI, 62-51.
As a team, Omaha led the Summit League with 5.8 blocks per game last year. The Mavericks were also first in free throw percentage (72.2) and second in opponents' field-goal percentage (38.5).
Meeting the Mavs
UNO returns three starters from the 2015-16 squad, including the Summit League's leading scorer and a First-Team All-Summit selection in senior forward Mikaela Shaw (18.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists), as well as senior guard Abi Lujan, and junior guard Remy Davenport (10.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg).
Returning are sophomore guards Ellie Brecht (5.7 ppg, 2.1 rpg), Sara Echelberry (1.2 ppg, 1.6 rpg), Kalen Phillips (2.5 ppg, 1.0 rpg) and Amber Vidal (5.9 ppg, 2.6 apg). Marissa Preston appeared in 30 games with three starts and averaged 2.7 points per game last season.
Leader of the Pack
Last season, Mikaela Shaw led the Mavericks in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals (1.6 spg). Shaw earned First Team All-Summit League honors and was a Third Team CoSIDA Academic All-American.
She became the 18th player in program history to score 1,000 career points and grab 500 career rebounds.
Dapprich Ready to Debut
Michaela Dapprich is making the most of her senior season for the Mavericks. Before transferring to Omaha last season, Dapprich played a pivotal role as Wichita State won three regular season Missouri Valley Conference Championships, three MVC Tournament Champions and three NCAA Tournament berths.
Dapprich played in 95 games and made 72 starts in her career while averaging 9.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. She connected on 94 career 3-pointers, ranking eighth all-time in Wichita State history, plus her career 34.7 3-point field goal percentage ranks ninth on the all-time list.
Ready Redshirts
Along with Michaela Dapprich, the Mavericks will look for contributions from two other Division I transfers –Courtney Vaccher and redshirt junior guard Moriah Dapprich – and freshman Jay Bridgeman.
Moriah Dapprich played two seasons for the Shockers, appearing in 46 games and averaged 1.6 points and 1.4 rebounds. Vaccher appeared in four games as a freshman at Texas Tech.
Shaw in the Summit
Mikaela Shaw earned Preseason All-Summit League First Team accolades for the second straight season. As a junior, she was a first-team All-Summit League selection and named to the Summit League All-Tournament Team. Shaw led the Summit League in points per game and was second in total points (549).
Summit League Poll Released
Omaha was picked to finish fifth in the 2016-17 Summit League Preseason Poll; the conference office announced. The poll was tallied in a vote of the league's head coaches, communications personnel and media.
South Dakota State was the favorite to win the Summit League, garnering 30 first-place votes for 542 points. IUPUI was second with 438 points, while South Dakota earned three first-place votes and 393 points for third. Oral Roberts came in fourth with one first place vote and 391 points, followed by Omaha, which received 325 points for fifth. Western Illinois was sixth in the poll with 250 points, while North Dakota State (156), Denver (150) and Fort Wayne (80) rounded it out in seventh, eighth and ninth places, respectively.
Shaw Named to Academic All-America Third Team
Last season, Mikaela Shaw was a Third Team CoSIDA Academic All-American. Shaw became the fifth Academic All-American in Omaha women's basketball history, with Paige Frauendorfer being the first Academic All-American in the Division I era. Other women's basketball honorees include Laura Anderson (1988), Amy Loth (1997), and Stacie Kaiser (1997).
Omaha Basketball Schedule Set
UNO's 2016-17 schedule includes 29 games, and the team will play nine states against schools from eight other Division I conference. The schedule has two opponents from the Big 12 and one each from the AAC, BIG East, CIAA, MEAC, Missouri Valley, Mountain West, Southern and WAC. Three opponents – Colorado State, Kansas State and Summit League Tournament champion South Dakota State – played in the 2016 NCAA Tournament.
Mavericks Announce 2017-18 Signing Class
Omaha announced its four-member 2017 signing class, as Kylee Coulter (Fayetteville, Ark./Fayetteville), Emily Dewey (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada/ Westwood Collegiate), Claire Killian (Watertown, Minn./Watertown-Mayer) and Emily Petersen (Omaha, Neb./Bellevue West) have all signed National Letters of Intent.
Getting to Know Coach Lange
Brittany Lange enters her fourth season as the head coach for the Mavericks and sixth with the program overall. Last season, UNO finished with a 15-15 overall record and earned the program's first berth into the Summit League Tournament as the sixth seed. In the tournament quarterfinals, Omaha upset third-seeded IUPUI, 62-51.
Lange's assistants are Lee Aduddell, Rodney Rogan, and Kirk Walker. Sadie Murren is in her first season as the director of basketball operations.

If we were a member of One Direction, there are plenty things we'd crack on with if we had a spare hour or two – buy some designer gear, wander out of the hotel and grab a fit fan, tweet an aggressive haiku about The Wanted, have a posh massage, get a tattoo…
They've done that tattoo thing over and over again, so what did Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson get up to when presented with some spare time in New York yesterday?
They went shopping… at Toys 'R' Us.
Just as we were starting to see Louis, Liam, Harry, Zayn and Niall as proper men who it's acceptable to openly fancy, the most 'mature' members go and hit a children's shop! Not only that, but they looked as if they were having the best time in ages! It doesn't feel right.
They were snapped at the kids' store in Times Square, emerging with array of nerf guns. Which the office geek tells us are plastic guns that shoot foam bullets. Um, fun?
1D's trip to Toys 'R' Us conveniently happened at the same time that McFly gave an interview about the lads – and described them as the more rock 'n' roll than themselves.
Tom told heat magazine: "They're probably more rock 'n' roll than we are. Niall's a funny guy."
Describing their recent trip to the US, which saw McFly and One Direction join forces on a night out, Harry said: "Me and Danny had a late night with Niall. I went to bed at 3.30am.
"Tom was on his balcony and Niall said, 'Tom, come play some songs!' You were angry at the situation, because you wanted to go to bed.
Tom added: "I went to bed and they were still playing music. I wanted to chill out!"
Bedtime and nerf guns? Someone needs to have a serious word with these boys before we all – God forbid – stop fancying them.

Feminism | Posted by Rosamund C on 09/9/2011
Checking In On DSK: Why The Case's Dismissal Is Bad News For All Of Us
I'll admit, I had never heard of the Dominique Strauss-Kahn – or DSK as he's been dubbed – before this year. I had, however, heard of the International Monetary Fund, and although I'm not an economics student, I do read the news, and I have the vague knowledge that the IMF is big and important. Its decisions can have consequences for all of us, so having the right person to head the organisation is vital.
That's why the scandal that engulfed Strauss-Kahn in May of this year was huge. To recap, whilst staying in New York, a maid at his hotel alleged that he had sexually assaulted her. He was arrested, pleaded not guilty, and was bailed after his supportive family paid out a huge sum. Meanwhile, the world's media realised the huge implications this would have for the IMF, for France, Strauss-Kahn's home country where he was considered a possible presidential candidate, and for the world. Strauss-Kahn resigned from the IMF just a few days after having been arrested, despite protesting his innocence. This may look like an admission of guilt to some, but with a scandal this big, he wouldn't have been able to hang on for long, especially as the IMF was having to make some pretty important decisions at the time. If you want to learn more about this case, The FBomb has also previously posted about it and you should check that article by Alec A out here.
On August 22nd 2011, all the charges against Strauss-Kahn were dismissed, due to the unreliability of the witness and an apparent lack of conclusive evidence. Strauss-Kahn may not have his job back, but at least he still has his reputation – despite, as he admits, having had consensual sexual relations with the woman when he was married.
I was severely disappointed with the outcome of this case. When Strauss-Kahn was arrested, I wasn't sure what to think. I didn't want to jump to condemn him, but it did seem like a David v Goliath struggle, as the hotel maid – surely a minimum wage earner – is an immigrant from Guinea. Her reputation was also trashed. A recorded phone conversation, heard out of context, was seen as evidence of her lying. Her statements did not add up, and left defence lawyers realising they could get rid of the case quicker than they had hoped.
Because the case was thrown out of court, we will never know the true story of what happened in that hotel room. As far as Strauss-Kahn is concerned, this case is over – although he is also facing sexual assault charges in his home country of France.
From the moment Strauss-Kahn was arrested, I knew this case could not end well. It was incredibly unlikely the maid would surface victorious against one of the most powerful men in the world, not without making him look vilified. Likewise, the events have not done much for Strauss-Kahn; he has little hope of becoming a presidential candidate in France, despite the fact the country is generally more relaxed about sexual scandals than the USA.
Was there a chance in hell of this case going further? Perhaps only if the alleged victim was a fifteen year old blonde virgin who had led a perfect life; nowadays, this may be your only chance if you dare to allege assault. Many rape victims who have the courage to bring their cases to trial find their personal lives being ripped to shreds in the courtroom. This only seems to happen when the assault is sexual. A victim of burglary may have six children by six different women but nevertheless, he is still a victim of crime and his personal life would not come under scrutiny in the courtroom, or be of any importance when convicting the burglar.
Prosecutors pointed out that the maid had told lies in order to get her American visa. Perhaps she did – but isn't that a matter for a different investigation? They say that her statement of the events that took place that night don't add up. Wouldn't any woman who has just been assaulted find it difficult to accurately recall the traumatising incident?
I'm not presuming that Strauss-Kahn is guilty; he may well be innocent. Only he and the woman in question know that. But it seems to me that we cannot presume his innocence just because the case has been thrown out. The courts had a chance to pit David against Goliath and let it be played out, fairly and justly. Instead, both parties have come away dissatisfied, with the alleged victim perhaps seeing her assailant walk free. America had a chance to show that nobody is above the law, but it missed it, and because of that, we will never know what truly happened that night.

Thanks for an informative and thoughtful piece. Your musings about what may have happened lead me to muse about other possible scenarios. This incident took Strauss-Kahn down. It is just as likely that the sexual encounter could have been set up by a political opponent in France, by an entity or set of entities that did not like the direction the IMF would have been taken under Strauss-Kahn's lead, or by someone in his wife's family to expose his philandering in the hopes of forcing him to desist. Ok, yes, yes, that last is a total long-shot, but hey – brainstorming. You know the rules on that. But I do worry about what we might miss if we try to pin the tail on the donkey without enough information. If it were me writing this blog, I might have cast my lot for a French opponent taking him down. Since the trial did not go forward, we will never know whether this was a simple case of sexual assault or something more. And that is a shame.
Nancy @ at 4:30 pm, September 10th, 2011
I think you might be overlooking something important in the dismissal of the Strauss-Kahn case. First, the court system worked remarkably well to protect the State's ability to prosecute, i.e., DSK was not allowed to leave the country (flight risk)after being charged, despite his "important" position with the IMF. This is a stance that demonstrates that "no one is above the law" when accused of a serious crime. And secondly, if there were serious discrepancies in the maid's story, I would prefer the State not to spend tens of thousands of dollars prosecuting a case that might paint all rape victims with the same brush. That would not strike a blow for feminism and women's rights, IMO. So dismissal may have served the feminist community after all, although we may never know enough details to know for certain. It would be easy to see this as a stereotypical "powerful man wins" story, but I think there's not enough evidence to do so. Just my opinion.

Flight Attendant Grounded
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Delta Airlines says it has pulled a flight attendant from a Buffalo, N.Y.-to-Atlanta flight because a security screener thought he was acting erratically and might not be fit to fly.
Delta tells local media in Buffalo that the Transportation Security Administration reported the potential problem after the crew was screened before Flight 1266's scheduled departure at 6:15 a.m. Wednesday.
The airline didn't detail the actions that worried the screener but said there was no security threat.
Passengers hadn't yet boarded the plane. It left three hours late with a replacement for the attendant.
The episode comes just more than a week after a JetBlue Airways captain's frightening behavior on a New York-to-Las Vegas flight forced an emergency landing in Texas.
He has been charged with interfering with a flight crew.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is making arrangements to visit Japan and China in early April and may squeeze in a trip to South Korea, sources said Saturday.
His Asian tour will come amid a deteriorating security environment in Northeast Asia, with China's new air defense identification zone over the East China Sea overlapping Japanese airspace over the Senkaku Islands, and lingering uncertainties over the situation in North Korea.
Hagel is expected to reaffirm America's ties with Japan and South Korea and call for restraint by China.
In its Quadrennial Defense Review announced Tuesday, Washington made it clear that it will adhere to its "pivot" strategy of shifting focus to the Asia-Pacific region.
In view of the strategy, the U.S. defense chief's tour is also apparently aimed at coordinating security policy ahead of President Barack Obama's planned visit to Japan and South Korea later in April.
Hagel is already set to host a meeting with his counterparts from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Hawaii from April 1 to 3.
He is likely to visit Japan for three days before heading for Seoul and Beijing, the sources said.
In Japan, Hagel is expected to hold talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida to explain the U.S. defense review and discuss plans to revise the Japan-U.S. defense cooperation guidelines.
The U.S. government plans to compile an interim report on the revision by summer and a final draft by the end of this year that will reflect the Abe administration's goals for changing the government's interpretation of the war-renouncing Constitution. The semantic tactic is aimed at allowing Japan to engage in collective self-defense, or coming to the aid of an ally under military attack.
Japanese officials may brief Hagel on the prospects for achieving the controversial change.
Also on the agenda will likely be ongoing efforts to relocate U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma further north in Okinawa Prefecture, and the situation unfolding in Ukraine.
Hagel intends to visit Misawa Air Base in Aomori Prefecture, where the U.S. Air Force's Global Hawk, an unmanned surveillance aircraft, is to be provisionally deployed. He may also visit Okinawa.
Hagel will also visit China for the first time since he took office in February 2013. The focus of those talks will likely be the Senkakus, China's territorial claims in the South China Sea, North Korea's nuclear and missile development, and the promotion of dialogue between the two countries' defense authorities.
Amid lingering concerns in Washington about any move by Beijing to declare another ADIZ over the South China Sea, Hagel is likely to urge China to exercise self-restraint.
In talks with Seoul, the main agenda items are expected to include the situation in North Korea and the transfer of control over wartime operations from U.S. forces stationed in the country to the South Korean military.

So I was sort of pondering weird ideas today. Most know that I like to shoot BB pistols and sometimes rifles in my back yard. The trouble is the legality of it is questionable. Most cities have ordinances against using BB guns within the city limits. But from what I can tell it is rarely enforced unless somebody calls the police about it. So far, none of my neighbors have called. But it worries me that occasionally I'll have a ricochet and it goes towards one of my neighbor's homes. I don't think the velocity of a ricochet would be great enough to hurt anyone or break a window but if it did clack against a window, somebody might get upset.
So I was sort of pondering maybe pouring me a little "sidewalk" maybe 3 or 4 feet wide and about 25 ft long. Then I could erect some poles and some kind of tent around it and setup a target at one end. It would have the benefit of keeping my BBs in my yard as well as offer me some protection against the elements.
But then I got to wondering about taking it one step further. What if I built brick walls with insulation up around it and put a shingled roof. I bet I could build something like that for maybe $3,000 to $5,000. Then I could shoot .22 pistols, maybe even .380 or larger without the neighbors even hearing it. I'd need a good backstop of some kind.
When you think about it, it would almost pay for itself considering how many times I have to pay money to go to the range.
Anyone else ever considered anything like that?

Recent data from a new government report documenting the welfare of children shows a drop in teen births going from "21.7 births per 1000 girls in 2008 to 20.1 per 1000 in 2009." Other aspects of the report weren't as positive: the number of eighth-graders who've used illicit drugs has risen; more children are living in poverty; fewer children are likely to live with at least one parent who is working full time. The report was compiled by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, a "working group of 22 federal agencies that collect, analyze, and convey data on issues pertaining to children birth to 18 and their families." The study is notably multidimensional, as it covers everything from teen pregnancy and drug use, to obesity, math scores, and poverty.
National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month
It's May. Do you know what that means? It's National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month!
There's value in suggesting one can enjoy their teen years without the added stress of sexual relationships added to the mix, but that's not always realistic. Adolescence means hormonal changes (puberty!), accelerated brain development, and of course a natural proclivity for recklessness. Puberty is confusing: thoughts are scattered and often vacillate between sexual urges to feeling depressed and shut down; we are, by nature, unpredictable during this developmental period. But you know what? This is also normal!
So, it's not only important to talk about pregnancy prevention, but also the emotional and physical states that tend to lead us toward getting pregnant in the first place. The pressure to fit in and do what everyone else SAYS they're doing can be overwhelming. Adolescents are also prone to having a tight relationship with hyperbole when it comes to their sexuality. Remember Jonah Hill's character in Superbad and his exaggerated boastfulness about sex? Or how about the iconic scene in 16 Candles where The Geek borrows Samantha's panties for 10 minutes so he can hold them up for his friends as proof of his sexual prowess? Anything to prove he's not a virgin, right? Ironically, statistics prove otherwise and frankly make The Geek look pretty average. In fact, "nearly 8 out of 10 guys say there is way too much pressure on them to have sex"!
Here are some things to think about before things get hot and heavy. Better to be preparedthan placed in a position to struggle with your own maturation in tandem with a child's.
