Editor's Note: Back by popular demand. Coming off another historic season which featured the program's record-14th consecutive regular season Horizon League championship, as always there is a lot of anticipation for the next season in Green Bay women's basketball. Every Thursday throughout the summer, Assistant Director of Athletics Communications Jill Wunrow will sit down with one player to talk about the expectations they have for themselves for the upcoming season and what fans can expect to see from them individually. This week we catch up with our fifth and final senior in this year's class, Jenny Gilbertson.
Senior, Jenny Gilbertson (Wabasha, Minn.), 6'2", F
I know you've already graduated but taking courses for your masters degree, but how does it feel to be a senior on one of the most successful programs in women's basketball history?
"It's an incredible feeling. It's been a great ride with the group of us that came in together and I'm excited to be a part of it. It doesn't seem possible that 4 years have gone by already, but I'm looking forward to making the most out of this year."
You have been part of three of the 14 consecutive regular season Horizon League championships, which is the nation's longest streak. Do you feel any pressure among you and your classmates to lead this team to its 15th championship and not have the streak end on your watch?
"I don't know if we feel it as pressure, but I know we use it as a fuel inside us. It's not something we talk about or anything, but this program is all about history and no one wants to see that streak end."
You'll tip off your senior campaign with a new head coach yet, a familiar face to Green Bay basketball, what is your biggest wonder with coach Borseth and what have you seen from him thus far that has been impressive?
"I loved his energy in the postseason workouts we had with him. Energy is always contagious, and every day he brought that which I feel made everyone bring it a little more in workouts."
What are you most looking forward to this season?
"I'm looking forward to getting on the court and just having fun playing with my teammates. It's my last year so I'm just trying to soak everything in."
You were voted the Most Improved player by your teammates last season and had what was probably your best all-around career performance at UIC last season when you sank two threes, had two assists and one steal in nine minutes of play. How important is it for you to have more consistent performances like that this season?
"It's very important for me to have consistent performances. I've been working very hard to do that and I plan to show that on the court this year.
With four starters from last season returning, do you envision yourself earning a spot in the starting lineup and what do you need to do to achieve that? What do you think you need to improve most on?
"I don't really care about whether I start or not. I want to contribute to the team whether it's coming off the bench or starting. This summer I've been working on improving my all around game- ball handling, shooting, driving, and mid-range shots. Defense is also always a huge part of our success so I try to guard a lot of different positions when we play pick up."
On the heels of breaking into the starting lineup, there is a huge void to fill this season with Julie graduating. What have you learned from her throughout your career and how do you going about carrying over her play?
"Julie was a great example of just having a motor that didn't stop. She kept going until she did what she had to do for us to win. She led by example and I think that drive showed us that is what we have to have in order to be successful."
What have you been working on the most to improve your game for the 2012-13 season?
"I'm working on everything so I can be an all around player that does a lot of things well on the court."
What can Phoenix fans expect from Jenny Gilbertson this season?
"Phoenix fans can expect a lot of fun and a lot of hard work from me."
Should you have any free time during the summer months, what do you typically spend your day doing?
"I like hanging out with friends, soaking up some sun on the Wolf River, and relaxing when there's time."
Favorite ice cream or summer treat and why?
"Blue Moon ice cream. It reminds me of when I was a kid in the summer, but I can hardly find it anywhere in Green Bay."

GM's Dwindling Options
After five months of seeking buyers, General Motors (GM) may yet get a deal with someone to sell a big chunk of its GMAC finance arm. Cerberus Capital Management is looking along with some Japanese banks. Leveraged buyout firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts also has been kicking GMAC's tires for months, investment bankers say.
What does it all mean? Well, it's a clear desperation move for GM. The auto giant needs cash as it tries to restructure, bail out its old Delphi parts unit, and just generally dig in against the gravitational pull coming from U.S. bankruptcy court. Plus, GMAC needs a partner with a strong credit rating so the lender can borrow money cheaply and make a better profit on its loans.
But there's something much bigger going on here. If and when GM pulls off a deal to strip out half of GMAC -- either by selling 51% of the equity or just carving out the insurance and mortgage operations -- it will get upwards of $13 billion in cash. But the company will be down to its threadbare duds as far assets it can sell. And its managers won't be able to rely on lending profits to carry the company as heavily as it has for years, even before the GM's disastrous 2005, when it lost $8.6 billion (see BW Online, 3/14/06, "GM and Ford: Timelines for Turnaround").
In other words, GM will finally have to fix its auto business. For years, GM has been able to rely on income from GMAC to prop up profits and its cash reserves. The company also has been raising cash by steadily selling off assets like its former computer systems group EDS, Hughes Electronics, and even small locomotive and defense businesses. Just in the past few quarters, GM has raised almost $3 billion by selling stakes in Japanese auto makers Suzuki Motors and Fuji Heavy Industries. (see BW Online, 3/7/06, "GM: Cashing in on Suzuki").
Cash and income from those operations enabled GM to put off its day of reckoning. From 2001 on, GM laid out billions in ever-higher rebates and made plenty of low-margin deals with rental-car agencies to keep sales going, rather than cutting jobs and plants in a play to chase more-profitable retail sales.
All of these were poor long-term business decisions. Its brands became watered down, reducing their appeal. As names like Pontiac, Buick, and now-defunct Oldsmobile lost respect, they needed more rebates to keep sales up.
But as long as GM could rely on profits from GMAC and cash from sales of other businesses, the company never got near the brink. It never really had to take a hard look in the mirror and overhaul its antiquated and obsolete business model.
In any given quarter, GMAC accounted for 60% to 90% of GM's earnings. Consider this: GMAC made $2.2 billion last year. If GM only owned half of that business last year, its losses would have been closer to $10 billion. Even in profitable years, GM would have been close to break even without GMAC
But once the GMAC sale is done, half the cash and earnings will go to the buyer. That means GM will have to make money -- real money -- building and selling cars. The company will have to drive profits up and down the lineup, not just from its trucks and SUVs. Wagoner's crew will have to resurrect its tarnished brands with a respected, high-volume car, not just a few stylish roadsters.
If GM's new models and the cuts Wagoner has already announced don't bring the company back in a hurry, GM will be forced to radically overhaul the 100-year-old auto giant. It could mean more job cuts and some life-changing concessions from the United Auto Workers union. It may also mean paying off dealers, so GM can get rid of weak brands that drain cash and executive time with minimal return (see BW Online, 3/6/06, "The Other Club Battering GM").
The good news is that a GMAC sale frees up plenty of cash to do it. The bad news is that this is GM's last chance to really control its destiny.

Wow staying in Rhett?s Neptune Ave. vacation home was truly an ?ultimate? southern California beach town experience! The location is awesome, steps from the beach stairs. All the homes on Neptune are ?grand?, and Rhett?s is no exception. It has a mysterious, tropical paradise-like feel. I was totally relaxed and felt at home. The curvaceous swimming pool (Rhett told me it won an award) with its crystal rock waterfall glowing at night was a mind blower. Floating, looking up at the towering palms ? I was in a fantasy realm. The furnished, bamboo enclosed porch was another great place to hang ? and the kitchen was amazing. I love to cook, and I did! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. To have a vacation rental exceed my expectations was a real treat. Rhett was a gracious and accommodating host. Go for it!!
Jonathan F.
Rhett, Thank's for a great stay!
Hi Rhett -
I had such a great time at the house, thanks so much.
So we'll be back July 7-21st and i think it's $2100/wk so the rent is $4200? Is that correct? I'll mail the balance of the deposit for half the rent when I get back home.
Thanks again for the use of your fantastic house!
Dr. Charlene S.

Not a fan of Roses...
This is a creamy skin cream....but it tends to burn my sensitive skin. The fragrance is strong, and that of roses. I love live roses, but do not like the fragrance of roses in cosmetics as it is a very old-timey scent. Probably great for people who's skin isn't real sensitive and for those that don't mind old-fashioned scents.
Was this review helpful to you?

Used this deep repair cream for 3 weeks and it caused persistant flaky dry skin the entire time, which I did NOT have prior to use. I even exfoliated and it did not help! I switched to another product and within one day my skin was back to normal, smooth and free of dryness and/or flakes. Also, the smell of the deep repair cream is very present, lingering, and unusual. Overall, I am sorry I bought this product.

I am 56 years old and have a mature skin. I read that EFG stands for epidermal growth factor. It is a small polypeptide of 53 amino acids. For a good concentration of EGF ,ReVivé is not within my budget. for this I take a look at Mychelle Deep Repair Cream/ I have been using Mychelle Deep Repair Cream for 10 days and moisturizer enriched with CoQ10 at nights. Result is healthier skin.If you have mature skın lıke me, dont hesıte for thıs cream.
Great cream with other Mychelle products

The smell can be a little overpowering so now I use just a little to reap the benefits. Seems to be a great moisturiser so far. Its winter here now so it works well. Only need to use a little bit, so it should last a long time. Mychelle have great products.

I used this cream for several weeks and noticed bumps starting to develop on my face. I stopped using it and the condition improved. After a time I used it again and the bumps re-occurred. I threw this cream away and do not recommend it. Started using another brand with no problems.

the old-rose smell doesn't bother me nor do I notice it after putting it on. I have an oily T-zone and it has not caused me to break out and seems to moisturize well, so I will continue using it. as for reducing wrinkles, it's so hard to say if it does or not, but my skin does look good and healthy with it.
Love the results.

Consistently this is the best 'wrinkle' cream I can find on my budget. Been using for a year or so and believe it's preventing wrinkles I already have from worsening.

The Skinny on Georgetown's Big Night
Georgetown Gala at the Italian Embassy Oct. 18 Honors Herb and Patrice Miller
The 2013 Georgetown Gala -- the annual black tie Citizens Association of Georgetown event that brings together more than 350 guests, neighbors, sponsors and politicos to celebrate Georgetown and CAG's mission of historic preservation and improving the life of the community -- will be held Oct. 18 and will honor Herbert and Patrice Miller.
As this is the Year of Italian Culture in the U.S., the event will be held for the first time at the stunning Italian Embassy on Whitehaven Street. Ambassador and Mrs. Claudio Bisogniero will be honorary chairs. The Venetian Carnivale masked ball features a refined Italian dinner buffet, fabulous entertainment, unique live auction items, a hip after party and more.
The honorees, Herbert and Patrice Miller are long-time Georgetown residents and patrons. In 1967, Herb Miller founded Western Development Corporation, a Washington D.C.-based real estate development and management organization with a 44-year history of innovative mixed-use development. Of particular interest to Georgetown, WDC has been involved in the Georgetown Park retail development, as well as the beautification of Washington Harbor. The Millers were Georgetown residents for decades until this past April when they sold their Federal-style row house on N Street. The gala committee agreed: "We couldn't let them leave without a proper goodbye."
Gala co-chairs Colleen Girouard and Robin Jones are making exciting changes to the evening's program. For the first time in the history of the gala, the formal event will be followed by an after party with dancing until 1 a.m., to be hosted and attended by the younger set of Georgetown. The evening's entertainment will include guests serenaded by opera performers upon arrival, the D.C. Love Band playing dance music during cocktails and dinner, followed by DJ Adrian Loving, upping the tempo and getting everyone dancing . Floral décor will once again be coordinated by Fabio Ripoli of Georgetown's own Ultra Violet. His take on the Venetian Carnivale theme will be cutting edge.
Live auction items include a week in a luxury apartment in Florence, three nights in Siena and an exceptional view of the world renowned Palio Di Siena horse race, donated by Simone Bemporad at Bemporad and Associates, the popular Scavenger Hunt Dinner Adventure, an opulent Four Seasons package, an Ermenegildo Zegna Made-to-Measure suit, donated by Ermenegildo Zegna, and "Skin Is In" Men's and Women's revolutionary treatment packages, donated by Tina Alster, M.D., Washington Institute for Dermatological Laser Surgery.
The gala's honorary chairs are Ambassador and Mrs. Claudio Bisogniero, D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, Selwa "Lucky" Roosevelt, Senator and Mrs. Joseph Lieberman, John J. DeGioia, president of Georgetown University, author Kitty Kelley and entrepreneur and philanthropist Mark Ein.
Sponsors, as of Sept. 17, include Capital Asset Management Group, Manhattan Construction Company, Beasley Real Estate, Long & Foster-Exclusive Affiliate of Christie's International, Nancy Taylor Bubes of Washington Fine Properties, Clyde's Restaurant Group, Georgetown University, the Levy Group, Jamestown Properties, Western Development Corporation, Vornado Realty Trust, Coldwell Banker Georgetown, Georgetown University Hospital, M.C. Dean, Inc., Securitas Security Services USA, Creel Printing – Digital Lizard, EagleBank, the Georgetowner, Bruce & Shelley Ross-Larson, CDI, PNC Mortgage and the Georgetown Current.
One of the "Community Pillars" to be noted for the gala is Manhattan Construction, a privately held company in its fourth generation of Rooney family ownership. It is ranked in the top 50 largest construction companies in America. Founded in 1896, Manhattan has been building major projects in Washington for over 30 years. The company history includes legacy works like the Capitol Visitors Center and Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The company has a deep commitment to Georgetown and the owner, Ambassador Francis Rooney, is not only a graduate of Georgetown Prep, Georgetown University and Georgetown University Law Center, but he and his wife Kathleen are also new neighbors in the Georgetown community. Another Georgetown neighbor, James Lee, runs the company's regional construction operation and is president of Rooney Properties, a real estate investment and development division.

looking for a "new" used car and I was considering a late s/c riv or p/a ultra, but also an aurora.
does the 4.0 has the same problems with blown head gaskets as the northstars in the caddy's?
is it much more troublesome and $$$ to repair than a park avenue?
What about a chrysler concorde/lhs/300m?
Thx for any reply!
PS: I allready dismissed the deville (altough I love it) because of the dreaded head gasket issue and too much electronics.

LeBron James: All-Star Presenter at the 2013 ESPYS
Coming off an impressive basketball season, LeBron James helped honor fellow athletes at the 2013 ESPY Awards on Wednesday night (July 17).
Serving as a presenter, the NBA star will give out awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live along with Malin Akerman, Kevin Bacon, Selena Gomez, Maria Sharapova, Jason Sudeikis, Ben Affleck, and Chrissy Teigen.
With Jon Hamm serving as host, the 21st annual ceremony promises to be an entertaining way to honor the greatest moments from the year in sports.
In the offseason, King James is busy preparing for his nuptials with fiancée Savannah Brinson. A "Save the Date" card indicates the happy couple will marry in mid-September in San Diego.

Theses shows have smaller sets, modest special effects and fewer location shoots. Here's why you should watch them bit.ly/2rzkrGy
We have a space station in permanent orbit ... but not a lot of rockets that can get there. On the assumption that the free market can blast us to the ISS on the cheap, NASA has awarded resupply contracts to two private companies, Orbital Sciences and SpaceX. But the two space ferries have some key differences, and the competition between them is shaping up to be a dogfight between reliable spaceships of the past and slick ones from the future. Here's how they line up.

"Love this mug! I wasn't sure at first if the pictures would come out clear on the mug so I used an option while checking out to have my product looked at. Everything was processed quickly . Will be using TinyPrints again! My husband loves it."
"I purchased this mug for my dad. It came out absolutely adorable with pictures of his great granchild. Color and pictures were clear. I would definitely order this item again in the future."
"I designed two mugs for my son and daughter-in-law as part of their first wedding anniversary gift. The design has their monogram initials and pictures from the wedding. Can't wait to give this personalized gift to them.The mugs look great."
"Enjoyed designing coffee mug with my 3.5 year old daughter. Just like her mother we both love photos & coming up with creative ways to display them. It also makes for a great activity that's special & different."

Does this sound presumptuous to you? The reality is [Mark, Peter, and Jeffrey] are guys who spend all day immersed in the culture of Hollywood, ostensibly "screening" movies while others work real full time jobs to support them.* That claim, and another extensive attack on CT film critics, was posted by a Christian talk-show host today.What follows is a response to the accusation, not an "attack" on his character. He smote us with that accusation. Allow me to hold up the facts, and you can … [Read more...]

When to use OCR?
If you scan in paper documents for use in your online classes, you will need to use an OCR (optical character recognition) software such as Adobe Acrobat Professional or Omnipage, available on every campus in the Faculty Production Labs.
Why use OCR?
When you scan in documents, the computer saves the document as an image, not as actual text. OCR reads your document and converts the words into real text. There are many advantages to this:
- text is editable:
- easier for you to make corrections and updates
- accessibility:
- a screen reader can now read your document aloud to a student
- searchable:
- readers can search your document for words and phrases
- usability:
- text can be selected, copied and pasted - no more retyping
- smaller file size:
- text takes up less space than image
- saves time:
- much faster than re-typing the document by hand
Is it accurate?
OCR technology has come a long way in recent years. If you're starting with a good scan of a typed document, the results will be surprisingly accurate. However, stray marks, blurred photocopies, unique fonts, and handwritten characters can produce unpredictable results. The better shape the original document is in, the better the OCR interpretation will be. OCR programs come with built in proofreading tools, so you can double check the interpretation.
How to use OCR programs in the faculty lab
PCC faculty labs have two OCR programs: Adobe Acrobat Pro and Omnipage. Omnipage is a dedicated OCR program with a big feature set, while Acrobat has a more straightforward interface. For most documents, either program will produce accurate results - feel free to use whichever one you are most comfortable with.
If you need assistance determining which OCR program you should work with, you can consult with your campus Instructional Technology Specialist - find them listed on the Instructional Support contacts page.
How to run OCR in Adobe Acrobat
Step One: scan or open your document
- Open Adobe Acrobat X Pro
- If you've already scanned your document, go to File > Open and open your file
- If you will be scanning your document now, go to File > Create > From Scanner > and choose "custom scan"
- In the Custom Scan window, choose your scanner from the list and adjust any necessary settings (document size, double sided, etc.)
- Adjust the resolution to 300 dpi (dots per inch) or above. The idea is to get a good quality scan of your document - the better the scan, the easier it is for the OCR to work.
- Pay special attention to the slider under "Optimized Scanned PDF". The default option (roughly at the center of the slider) is appropriate for basic scanning and OCR. If you anticipate that your document will require significant correction, then drag the slider closer to the "high quality" end.
- Un-check box next to "Make Searchable (Run OCR)" Later, you can save a step by running the OCR at this time, but for now, it's easier to run the OCR separately.
Step Two: recognize the text
- Open the Tools panel (click "Tools" in top right) and click "Recognize Text"
- Click "In this File" and in the window pops up, click the Edit button to adjust your OCR settings.
- Select the language of the text
- For output style, choose "Searchable Image"
- Click okay and you're off!
Step Three: correct any errors
- In the Tools panel, under "Recognize Text", click on "Find First Suspect"
- Acrobat will now go through and identify any word conversion it is unsure of and allow you to manually correct them.
- The pop-up window shows you the picture of the suspected word. The text on the page shows you Acrobat's interpretation of the suspected word. To fix spelling, click on the word on the page, enter the correct text, and the click "Accept and Find" to move to the next suspect.
proof reading in Acrobat
- To save as a PDF, go to File > Save. For other file types, go to File > Save As and choose from Word, HTML, plain text, and others.

How to run OCR in OmniPage
Step One: scan or open your document
- Open OmniPage Pro (should be an icon on desktop)
- If you've already scanned your document, locate the drop-down list under Button 1 and choose "load image file". Now press Button 1 and find your file.
- If you will be scanning your document now, locate the drop-down list under Button 1 and choose "scan". Now press Button 1 and follow prompts to scan.
- If you encounter the "scansoft scanner wizard" at this point, click next until you get to the available scanner list and select the scanner that's connected to your computer. When it asks you if you want to run diagnostic tests, say No. It should now tell you your scanner is ready for use. You will now go be able to select a scan type from the drop-down menu and press button 1 again.
Step Two: recognize the text
- In the drop-down list under Button 2, select "automatic" and press Button 2. This begins the OCR process.
Step Three: correct any errors
- When the OCR process is finished, OmniPage will automatically open the OCR Proofreader. The proofreader shows you any text OmniPage believes is misspelled, and is similar to a spellchecker in a word processing program. You can use the proofreader, or close and proofread the document manually in the text editor window on the right.
proof reading in Omnipage
- To save document, go to the drop-down list under Button 3 and select "save to file". Press Button 3, and a dialog box pops up asking you what to name the file, where to save it, and what format you would like it saved in. A few notes on saving your file:
- switching between Text, Image, and Multiple will reveal different file types in the file type drop-down list.
- the Converter Options button allows you to further customize the file types.
- This page has more information for the saving options: OmniPage User Guide - Saving Results.

Stan waited for the flight lieutenant to explain his sudden mirth.
The flight lieutenant chuckled and gave them both a keen look.
He crossed the room and as he approached Allison he saw that the flight lieutenant's breakfast lay untouched before him.
The kidding with flight lieutenant Wiggins had removed a lot of ugly thoughts.
flight lieutenant Barton-Woods' voice came through the earphones.
A moment or so more and flight lieutenant Wiggins pulled back on the controls.
The altimeter on the instrument board in front of flight lieutenant Wiggins said twenty thousand feet.
Each machine had four twenty-pound bombs; one of flight lieutenant Sippe's bombs, as has been seen, failed to release.
"Sergeant Raymond, you will take up Martin to-day," said the flight lieutenant to Tom one morning.
Chairs ringed the desk on which lay various trophies and gadgets such as might have decorated the room of any flight lieutenant.

Screen Daily
In theaters right now, you can catch John Cusack doing some of his most powerful work as an actor in Lee Daniels' The Paperboy. It's an odd film, with darkly hilarious moments that give way to some truly chilling ones, and Cusack downright terrifies. It's fitting, then, that he signs on for another odyssey of madness, this time from the mind of Stephen King.
Screen Daily is reporting that Cusack will play the lead in Cell, a production which reteams much of the crew behind another successful King adaptation, 1408 – in which Cusack also starred.
Cargo Entertainment will finance the production, which is to be produced by former Dimension Films president of production Richard Saperstein, along with colleagues Brian Witten and Shara Kay.
Cell is based on King's novel about a father's desperate journey to find his wife and son in the wake of a catastrophic pulse transmitted via mobile phones.
The best news? King co-wrote the screenplay with The Last House on the Left screenwriter Adam Alleca. No director has been signed yet, although hopefully this project will attract some talent.
"I'm thrilled to be working with Stephen and John again," said Saperstein. "Cell is an intelligent psychological thriller that delivers on both a visceral and emotional level."
"Stephen King is a legendary storyteller and the master at this genre," said Cargo CEO Marina Grasic. "We believe the reteaming of King with Cusack is a winning combination that audiences around the world will want to see."
