text: I haven't seen too much written on Big Ben in here other than his expiring contract at the end of the year. How do you guys think Big Ben will do under Flip's offensive and defensive schemes? I'd be very interested to know if you think it will increase or decrease his stats on both ends of the floor (points, rebounds, blocks, etc.) Personally, I have no idea how it will affect him. Plus he is a year older. Will that affect him much, if at all?

all smiles as they celebrate during the USTA Tennis On Campus
National Championship.
Welcome to the USTA's Tennis On Campus program!
The USTA's Tennis On Campus program is designed to provide college students with opportunities for team camaraderie, social networking, and rivaled competition through tennis without the rigors of a varsity program.

Currently, the program is offered on over 500 college campuses and services over 30,000 students.
What is Tennis On Campus?
The USTA Tennis On Campus program is anything and everything recreational tennis on college campuses across the country. This includes sport club tennis teams, intramural tennis leagues and tournaments, recreational classes, and physical education classes.

How can we best cope with traumatic events in nature, society, and the home? Facing and interpreting limits has been the pivotal religious task of Icelanders throughout the centuries. Strategies for survival became a necessity and included interpretations that assisted in coping with these crises along with strategies of escape. The theology of Icelanders offers potential ways for coping with difficulties and suggests strategies for addressing the limit-issues threatening us and later generations.

Enterprising city dwellers are bursting from their pre-packaged lives and taking back their choices for consumption. Urban farms foster community and healthy eating beneath towering city blocks, where fast and easy often supersede fresh and home-grown. Like SF's own Alemany Farm and Hayes Valley Farm, these urban crop spaces allow neighbors to trade their Swingline staplers for pitchforks and break new ground. Fresh, organic veggies are grown and sold, and the locavore food economy is epitomized. What's the appeal of throwing away the chain grocery store for the neighborhood till? Come hear from local leaders of the movement like Novella Carpenter, founder of Oakland's Ghost Town Farm, and trailblazing San Franciscans Jason Mark, of Alemany Farm, Christopher Burley, founder of Hayes Valley Farm, and David Gavrich, "goat whisperer" and founder of City Grazing. They'll discuss the urban farming movement's place in the world of organic, local-grown culture, and how they're bringing the farm to the city - goats included!
We'll toast these locavore legends with food from Mission Pie, Bella Viva Orchards, Back to Earth Catering and wine from Russian River Vineyards. Thank you to each of them for being our generous food sponsors for this event.
Location: SF Club Office
Time: 6 p.m. check-in, 6:30 p.m. program, 7:30 p.m. networking reception
Cost: $12 members, $20 non-members, $7 students (with valid ID)

Ian McElroy's Newest Creation – The Kickboxer Diesel Concept!
Last year Ian put out his rendering of the Kickboxer concept bike based around Subaru's boxer engine. Thinking economically, Ian has come up with a more compact and efficient motor to base the project around, and we all know how tunable turbo diesel motors are! Can you say propane injection?!
The orange rendering is the standard diesel model which he has put some great work into. The design and aesthetics here are amazing. All the bits and pieces are very well thought out and flow together beautifully! The blue rendering is the two wheel drive model! Yes, 2wd! Where do I place my order?!
From Ian: For those who are interested. I've been wanting to put Subaru's diesel engine in the Kickboxer ever since I finished the design. The diesel engine is more compact than it's gasoline counterpart, and the idea of a powerful engine that affords great fuel economy really appealed to me. Making the engine fit was relatively easy, but I also decided to differentiate the Diesel bike from the original with new bodywork, swingarms, and a different turbo layout.
For those interested, here is a link to the original Boxer Concept bike
As well a link to his Honda Streetfighter
5 Responses to "Ian McElroy's Newest Creation – The Kickboxer Diesel Concept!"
Great stuff…I think you've made some truly interesting points.Keep up the good work.
As soon as I win the lotto I'll be getting ahold of you to make this for me, OK?
When will we see the produciton begin? i know many people who would love to have one. i know i would ride all the time. Maybe subaru could help you get things going…
how does the 2WD version turn?

An abscess (Latin: abscessus) is a collection of pus (dead neutrophils) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue in which the pus resides due to an infectious process (usually caused by bacteria or parasites) or other foreign materials (e.g., splinters, bullet wounds, or injecting needles). It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body. One example of an abscess is a BCG-oma, which is caused because of incorrect administration of the BCG vaccine.
The organisms or foreign materials kill the local cells, resulting in the release of cytokines. The cytokines trigger an inflammatory response, which draws large numbers of white blood cells to the area and increases the regional blood flow.
The final structure of the abscess is an abscess wall, or capsule, that is formed by the adjacent healthy cells in an attempt to keep the pus from infecting neighboring structures. However, such encapsulation tends to prevent immune cells from attacking bacteria in the pus, or from reaching the causative organism or foreign object.
Abscesses must be differentiated from empyemas, which are accumulations of pus in a preexisting rather than a newly formed anatomical cavity.

Leprosy is a bacterial disease that spreads to muscles and other tissues in the body, causing neurodegeneration and muscle weakness. A new study, published by Cell Press January 17th in the journal Cell, reveals that the bacteria responsible for leprosy spread infection by hijacking specialized cells in the adult nervous system, reprogramming them into a stem cell-like state, and converting them to muscle-like cells. These findings could lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies for combating bacterial infections and degenerative diseases as well as new tools for regenerative medicine.

Tempting Mr. Bass
The right equipment and correct technique can help you land a lunker.
I caught my first bass in 1967 while fishing for northern pike on Canada's Lake of the Woods. On a slow morning I tossed a daredevil out toward a weed bed and a big fish grabbed it and ran. At last, a good-sized pike, I thought. The fish fought hard, broke water, and I saw a flash of gold. It wasn't a northern pike. It was a muscle-bound bass, and both he and I were hooked.
I'm a casual Michigan fisherman now, but our waters are chock full of bass, smallmouth and largemouth. Over the years I've learned that even a rank amateur like me can catch fish using the right equipment.
Dunham's is the right place to find the right equipment. I learned that soon after moving to the mitten. And their sales consultants can help you choose gear that works.
I grew up with baitcasting reels and love the Shimano Caenan and Citica reels wound with Seaguar Fluorocarbon line, which is invisible underwater. With fast retrieve, either reel is great for bass, which often strike rapidly moving baits. They don't like to see a meal escape. Dunham's offers numerous spinning reels as well. Either style reel is well suited to bass fishing. It's a matter of what you're comfortable with.
Jim Burrows of Pure Fishing tells us that Shakespeare® has a new Ugly Stik® GX2™ rod for 2014. With Ugly Tech Construction, it's warranteed for seven years. "No doubt this will be the winner for the upcoming 2014 fishing season," says Jim.
Two excellent bass baits that work well with a rapid retrieve are the Rapalo Rippin Rap and the deep-diving DT Series crankbaits. They run below the surface and are favored by tournament pros. Toss them with a light- or medium-action rod of about 7-foot length.
A correct drag setting is important. Too much resistance is an invitation for Mr. Bass to break the line and head south. You can adjust drag by tying on a weight that's half the rating of your line. If your reel is wound with eight-pound test, a four-pound weight should be able to overcome the drag setting and pull line off your reel. That will allow a hooked fish to make a run but will wear him down.
Let's not forget worm fishing. When I was a wee lad fishing with dad, I'd grow impatient and wiggle the rod tip. Dad would tell me to sit still, but that doodling would often produce a bite.
Doodling is what they call it today. It's a worm fishing tactic practiced by some of the best bass fishermen. With a 4 – to 5-inch plastic worm on an Eagle Claw Lazer Wide Gap Worm Hook, wiggle the rod tip for a few seconds, then relax for 30 seconds. If there's a bass in the neighborhood, he'll probably take the bait.

The Ins and Outs of Soccer
Played indoors, soccer remains a great game, but equipment needs can differ.
Did you know that more people play soccer than any other sport in the world? An estimated 265 million, in fact, and that's more than those who play basketball, baseball, football, tennis and golf!
Soccer, which is known as football in most countries, has traditionally been an outdoor sport. However, in recent decades a growing trend has been taking the internationally beloved game indoors. Today, indoor leagues are growing in number, and players of all ages are kicking the soccer ball both in the great outdoors and in arenas. The indoor sport is particularly popular in the northern United States and Canada, where the outdoor season is brief and facilities built for hockey and basketball are readily available for indoor soccer games.
The outdoor and indoor games are similar in that players use their feet (and sometimes their heads) to drive a ball into a goal and score points, but there are some differences that are game changers.
Indoor fields, for example, are half the size of their 400-foot outdoor counterparts. In other words, they're the same size as the ice rinks on which hockey is played. That's no coincidence since many indoor soccer venues are converted hockey arenas. Most are covered with artificial turf, although the game is sometimes played on hardwood basketball courts. Some rules are different as well. There are no kick-ins, throw-ins or out-of-bounds in indoor soccer. Because the playing area of a hockey arena is walled in, the ball remains in play if it bounces off the walls. If the ball clears the wall, the team that touched it last is allowed a free kick at the spot where the ball left the arena. The sliding tackle, a useful tactic on outdoors grass, is banned by most indoor leagues, since it can result in injury on hard indoor surfaces. The offside rule, common to outdoor soccer, is not enforced by most indoor leagues. Many indoor leagues use a penalty box where the player must sit out a yellow-card infraction. Again, hockey arenas, which include a penalty box, make this rule convenient.
Of course, it's not just field size and rules that distinguish the indoor game from the outdoor variety. Whether you can move like Messi or bend it like Beckham is dependent in part on the equipment with which you play the game – equipment that is specific to indoor and outdoor play.
From the Ground Up
Since soccer is played primarily with the feet, selecting a shoe is among the most important gear choices a soccer player has to make, so let's talk about shoes first. In general, there are two types: outdoor cleats and indoor turf shoes.
Outdoor cleats are made of rubber, plastic or metal and are designed to dig into grassy fields for better grip. And, according to Peter Hong, assistant merchandise manager for adidas, there are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing a pair.
Fit is the most important thing to consider. A shoe that's too big or small will not only hurt your feet but it can also affect your touch and feel when handling the ball. Technology is key to both how the shoe contributes to speed afoot and ball handling capability, and all of the adidas lines are designed with different properties in mind. For example, the F50 line – Hong's favorite – was designed in collaboration with Lionel Messi, one of the game's fastest players. So it's not surprising that the shoe is engineered to optimize speed. That capability is in part the result of a new stud configuration meant to enable maximum acceleration on firm ground. The shoe features a new lightweight HybridTouch synthetic leather upper so its weight won't drag you down. DribbleTex technology provides a textured grip to enable high-speed dribbling and excellent ball control under all conditions.
The brilliantly colored Nitrocharge shoe was inspired by Brazil, site of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and that country's carnival tradition. With EnergyPulse design, the Nitrocharge optimizes energy transfer and provides a claw-like grip on firm ground. Its lightweight design and glove-like feel optimize ball handling.
Turf shoes designed for indoor soccer have small rubber cleats or a flat, rubber bottom to keep you from damaging the carpet while providing better traction on hard surfaces. Your Dunham's sales consultant can help you choose a shoe that's just right for your soccer league.
Shin guards and balls are also important parts of both indoor and outdoor games, and adidas makes them in various styles, sizes and colors. Some indoor players wear extra protective gear in that fast play on hardwood floors or firm turf is more likely to result in injury than is outdoor play on grass. Even the balls used indoors are different than those used outdoors and are designed specifically for the fast pace of arena play.
So, whether you're looking for the latest technology in cleats, cool turf shoes in more colors than you can imagine, or shin guards to match your gear, a wealth of options are available at Dunham's, where you're sure to score something that's perfect for you.

Advancements In Golf Technology = Better Scores
Twenty years ago, Davis Love III led the PGA Tour with an average driving distance of nearly 284 yards. Through February 9 of this year, Bubba Watson led the Tour with an average drive of 322 yards – an improvement of nearly 40 yards! To many, that speaks to significant improvements in technology. The same technology that is enabling pros to hit a driver well over 300 yards and a 7 iron 200 yards is making it easier and more enjoyable for the average person to enjoy a round of golf.
Hot Drivers
Peruse popular golf publications and you will quickly notice that every manufacturer promises a "hot" driver. How they achieve the results, which enable even amateurs to hit drives straight and long, differs by manufacturer.
Dunham's shoppers may have noticed a similar design approach from other manufacturers to clubs other than the driver. The idea is to remove weight where it's not needed and to enable the clubface to deflect at the moment of impact, creating said trampoline effect. TaylorMade has used this approach with its RocketBallz fairway and hybrids and is employing a different strategy with its latest drivers.
"In our driver and fairway woods, we've moved the center of gravity lower and forward. Golfers are realizing more ideal launch angles and lower spin conditions," said Tom Kroll, TaylorMade golf.
Here's a practical example of what lower spin conditions mean: a good friend and golf pro put the TaylorMade SLDR driver in his bag last fall and immediately gained 30 yards! This year, TaylorMade has introduced the JetSpeed driver.
"Compared to the SLDR, the JetSpeed is going to launch the ball higher and with more spin. The SLDR also has a sliding weight that can be adjusted to control the draw or fade bias," Kroll added.
Get on the Green
Hitting a great drive is a great feeling. However, to truly score, you must hit the green with your approach. Today's technology can help you here, as well.
"Owning the second shot is what Adams Golf is known for. Our heritage has been about fairway woods, hybrids and irons. We have the equipment to enable less-experienced golfers to get on the green with the second shot, to own that shot," Wood explained.
Technological advancements have also found their way into irons.
"Five years ago we introduced our Cut Thru-Slot design, which enhances ball speed and ball flight. This design creates a very thin face that flexes when it connects with the ball. The result is a trampoline-like effect that really launches the ball. Even if you mishit the club, you're still going to get good results," said Jeff Wood of Adams Golf.
"If you're playing irons that don't have a speed pocket, you're playing with old technology. The speed pocket gives golfers speed where they need it most, since the majority of amateurs contact the ball below the center of the clubface. This technology increases launch angle and distance," Kroll said.
Have a Ball
Manufacturers have also spent a great deal of their R&D improving the ball we play. Many companies are promoting choosing a ball based on your individual swing speed, desired ball flight and the amount of feel you want around the green.
"TaylorMade is launching three balls this year," Kroll said. "Our new Tour Preferred and Tour Preferred X are ideal for the better player. They feature a new Soft Tech cover for improved greenside spin and control."
If you're a scratch player, consider the Tour Preferred X model. An intriguing option for golfers of all levels is TaylorMade's third new ball for 2014: the Project (a).
"Project (a) is designed for amateur golfers, though we saw a lot of single-digit golfers play this ball at Pebble Beach in February," Kroll added. The company claims greater distance with all clubs, as well as significant and consistent spin with all irons. At under $32.00, I plan on checking it out.
For 2014, Nike is expanding its RZN line of golf balls.
"We're launching RZN Black, Platinum, White, and Red this year, each explicitly designed for specific golfers," said Chris Coffman of Nike.
The first two are designed for golfers of moderate to higher swing speeds. Those who want maximum distance should choose the RZN Black, while those who want more feel will prefer the RZN Platinum. Golfers with moderate to slower swing speeds will find the RZN Red and the RZN White more suited to their game. The RZN Red delivers more distance, while the RZN White delivers more feel.
There's a lot to be said for technology. It has made our cars safer, phones smaller and the game of golf more enjoyable. With the right equipment and advice from our knowledgeable staff, next time someone asks you about your golf game, you can happily reply, "It's par for the course."
Nick Lico has dual passions: writing and golf. An avid player for 30 years, he has spent the last five years teaching golf at various after-school programs in Metro Detroit.

It's a great time of year to renew your health resolutions or make a new commitment to a healthy life!
After long months spent indoors, it can be a big challenge to adopt a major fitness program, especially if you have a busy schedule. Ease into it!

• If your schedule makes it difficult to set aside a 30 minute block of time, try three 10-minute workouts or walks.
• Walk or bike to work or to the local store.
Wear a pedometer to keep track of the number of steps you take and and set a goal to increase the amount you walk. A Harvard study found that taking six thousand steps a day is correlated with a lower death rate in men.
• Park your car a distance from your destination and walk.
• Use stairs instead of the elevator.
• Take a walk at lunch with coworkers.
• Join an office or community sports league.
If you're hungry when you get home from your fitness outing, try a handful of nuts! A study from Loma Linda University found that participants eating a diet that has majority of fat coming from almonds resulted in significantly higher loss of body and abdominal fat in 24 weeks than participants who ate the same amount of calories with more carbs and less fat. Other nuts to add to your diet include Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts and walnuts.
You'll probably be thirsty too! Drink plenty of water; researchers in Germany found that drinking two cups of cold water can boost metabolic rate by 30 percent! If you have a taste for something different try green tea, its primary ingredient – epigallocatechin gallate – reduces the effect of the enzyme that normally breaks down norepinephrine. That keeps the metabolic rate up, and you burn more calories throughout the day. Black tea also aids fat loss. A study conducted by University College in London found that drinking black tea regularly can reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that encourages fat storage around the midsection.
Make physical activity a regular part of your day and you'll begin to notice some positive changes, whether it's weight loss, a smaller waist or a new, fuller sense of well-being.

Beginner Golfers Can Play Like the Pros
With Today's Game-Improvement Equipment
If you are old enough to remember when every golf iron was a blade and drivers were made of persimmon, then you know how difficult golf could be. And that was for seasoned golfers. For newcomers, it was easy to get frustrated enough to quit the game before they even had time to master the fundamentals. That's not the case nowadays. Thanks to advancements in technology, new golfers can enjoy the sport from their first round. Like any new venture, you should seriously consider how much time you will truly devote to it before making a significant monetary investment. Fortunately, Dunham's has you covered.
Choose the Right Clubs
Frankly, golf clubs have improved so much that it's difficult to make a wrong choice. One issue I see frequently with new golfers is not getting fitted for the clubs. Often, they'll buy clubs with shafts that are too stiff for their swing speed and can't figure out why all their shots go to the right (for right-handed players). Many Dunham's stores are Fairway Center stores, meaning they carry a full complement of golf equipment and are staffed with knowledgeable consultants. Some stores also have an indoor driving range where a golf professional can help you choose the right clubs based on your swing speed and predominant ball flight. This is a free service, so be sure to take full advantage of it.
Complete Sets
Many beginners find that a "boxed set" makes a great deal of sense, since it includes a full set of clubs and a golf bag. A popular brand for these is Adams Golf and its Speedline and Tight Lies models. Ideal for newer golfers, they include an oversized driver, oversized woods, irons, wedges, a putter and the aforementioned golf bag. They are available for men and women.
"We offer a range of clubs that are entry-level priced and easy to hit. They feature club heads that are a little larger than the ones the tour players play and a thicker sole (on the irons) to get you through the rough," said Jeff Wood of Adams Golf. "These are very forgiving clubs and we've found that the easier it is to hit the club, the more likely you are to stay with the game." Dunham's also carries the Idea irons from Adams Golf.
"Our new Idea Hybrid irons are designed to make the game easier – golfers will notice their miss-hits aren't as punishing with these. They feature our new Cut Thru-Slot design, which enhances ball speed and ball flight. Golfers of all levels will see more consistent gaps (distance) between the clubs," Wood added.
For youngsters who want to emulate Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy or Michelle Wie, Dunham's carries two Nike VR S Junior starter sets. Size one is a five-piece set that includes an oversized driver, a 7 iron, a sand wedge, a putter and a lightweight carry bag with kickstand. This is ideal for younger children. For older children, we recommend the size two set from Nike. It adds a 4 hybrid and a 9 iron to the size one set. The clubs are longer for taller children. The Nike VR S Junior size one set is available only for right-handed players, while size two is available for left-handers, as well. Dunham's also carries Nike products for adult golfers.
Don't Overlook Last Year's Models
Like the car companies, the golf industry introduces new models every year and discounts the previous-year's models, making them ideal choices for golfers of all levels.
"The 2013 VRS Covert line of drivers, fairway woods and hybrids that some of the top players in the game have played are now a great option for all golfers (as shown at the top of the facing page). This was the first high-speed cavity-back driver in golf and promotes improved forgiveness. It has a hotter face for more distance. Since they're last year's model, they're available at a significant discount," said Chris Coffman of Nike.
"For beginner irons, I would recommend looking for either our RocketBallz set or RocketBladez since they are previous-year models. They are great irons and will be a much better price for someone just starting," added TaylorMade's Tom Kroll.
Also available at significant discounts are the RocketBallz driver, fairway woods and hybrids. These are some of the best clubs I have ever hit and it's the clubs you will most frequently see on golf courses.
Have Fun
What we have yet to discuss in this article is perhaps one of the most important elements for beginner golfers – though it applies to experienced duffers, as well: have fun! This is a great sport that can be enjoyed your entire life. It's also one of the very few sports where grandparents and grandkids can enjoy simultaneously.
"Don't get tied up in your score," advises Coffman. "Focus on hitting good shots and see a club professional for lessons. You would be surprised to discover how big a difference having the proper grip, aim, stance and posture will make to your game and your enjoyment of the sport."
Nick Lico has dual passions: writing and golf. An avid player for 30 years, he has spent the last five years teaching golf at various after-school programs in Metro Detroit.

Moving On Up
You've moved up through the ranks of amateur baseball and are looking for equipment that's as good as your game. Dunham's can help!
Remember your Tee Ball days? Everyone chose one of two or three bats that the coach provided – usually the one that looked the coolest – and a ball glove was just a ball glove. As you progressed into Little League, you became a bit more particular about the bat you swung and the glove you wielded. Now that you're on your way to the higher levels of amateur baseball, those choices become more important every day. Without equipment that is well matched to your skill set and body type, you can't reach your full potential.
In recent years high technology has reshaped the baseball bat and glove, while providing some excellent training aids. With new tight regulations dictating bat materials and dimensions, advanced design provides significant advantages. At the same time, as pro ballplayers have asked for changes in glove construction that can maximize their game, those designs have filtered down to the better amateur equipment. And simple training aids meant to simulate game conditions or improve coordination and concentration have proven a boon to players of every stripe. In the end, it's all about optimizing your game, which will go a long way toward ensuring that as you move up through the ranks, baseball remains much more about fun than frustration.
Swing a Big Stick
It used to be simple to choose a bat. You stopped in at a store like Dunham's, picked up a couple, and bought the one that you could swing with ease – the one that felt good in your hands. Today's ballplayers have a lot more to consider when choosing a bat. For example, new rules prescribe certain materials and set limits on the velocity at which the ball can come off the bat. Your Dunham's sales consultant can help you determine what type bats are legal for play in your league.
Little League and most other youth leagues specify bats of a certain dimension. Non-wood bats must have been tested to ensure that they don't exceed a performance standard. Little League baseball allows only those composite bats that are on an approved list. Dunham's sales consultants can help you choose a bat that's legal for the league in which you play.
NCAA college baseball, high school baseball and most intermediate, junior and senior leagues allow only wood bats or aluminum alloy and composite bats that meet BBCOR standards. Again, bats for various levels must be sized according to strict specifications.
When bat standards were first introduced, they made shopping for a bat difficult. But now, several years after the regulations have became all but universal, every bat sold by Dunham's is legal for its intended purpose. But while all Dunham's bats meet prescribed standards, there are numerous things to consider when choosing a bat.
Ryan J. Weller, a strategic account manager for Easton, says, "Getting the right bat for each player goes a long way toward determining the amount of success that player will have and how much they will enjoy their season."
The most important factors are length, barrel diameter and weight. In general, the stronger the ballplayer, the heavier the bat. The best way to determine if a bat is too light or too heavy is by swinging it. You shouldn't have to struggle to move the bat rapidly through your strike zone, yet if it's too light, it will feel as though you don't have to exert much force to move it. In other words, swinging the bat should require effort but that effort shouldn't be debilitating. Delivering maximum force is important, but you must be able to maintain good bat speed to hit a fastball.
Mr. Weller says that composite materials enable a lot of manufacturing design options, resulting in bats that can enhance the game of ballplayers at the highest levels of NCAA collegiate baseball as well as high school and intermediate league players. The new Easton Mako, for example, which is available at Dunham's, utilizes a new composite technology, which allows for longer barrels and even lighter swing weights than previous Easton offerings.
Dunham's also stocks Easton's S2, an aluminum-alloy bat with a composite handle that's joined to the barrel using Easton's ConneXion technology. The alloy barrel expands the sweet spot and provides increased durability.
In addition to the Easton offerings, Dunham's carries a wide range of Hillerich and Bradsby Louisville slugger wooden bats and DeMarini aluminum-alloy and composite bats.
Flashing Leather
While there are various things to consider when choosing a bat, selecting a ball glove requires just as much care. A glove that doesn't fit correctly or is wrong for the player's position is a huge disadvantage and can lead to the development of bad habits in the field. Dunham's sales consultants have expert knowledge of baseball equipment and can help you select a glove. A number of factors are considered in arriving at an optimum choice, including level of competition, throwing hand and position played.
Youth league players who have advanced beyond the basic levels might choose a Wilson Softfit A800 model. These gloves are reasonably priced and engineered to not require break in. They come in various lengths and are tailored to the position played. For example, the Softfit A800 pitcher glove is available in 11.75-inch and 12-inch versions.
Players in advanced youth leagues or high school baseball will probably find that an A1K series glove is a good choice. Dave White, national accounts manager for Wilson says, "The A1K glove is built using the same patterns and construction techniques employed in making pro gloves but sizes them down just a bit for a more snug fit on fingers and wrists." That fit enables better control in the field than would an overly large glove that flops around. The A1K gloves are offered as infielder, outfielder, catcher and pitcher models in a variety of lengths.
Taking it to the Top
While Dunham's can provide the equipment you need to play at the top of your game, they also carry a variety of training aids from SKLZ, a leading manufacturer of baseball training equipment. Among them is the Quickster 5-foot sports net. With a strike-zone target outlined in the center, the Quickster provides a way for pitchers to practice their delivery almost anywhere. When a thrown pitch strikes the Quickster dead center, the net springs back and returns the ball. The Quickster is engineered for ballplayers on the go. It can be assembled in as little as 90 seconds while its TenstionTite poles provide a sturdy frame. When it's time to move on, it can be packed into its carrying case.
SKLZ's most popular product, the Hit-A-Way® is another great training aid. The concept is simple: a baseball is attached to cords that wrap around a pole. When the ball is batted, it winds its way around the pole and returns, providing another opportunity for the batter to practice his swing.
The Lightning Bolt Pro is an affordable pitching machine that allows hitters to perfect their game almost anywhere. The machine tosses small, lightweight balls that are difficult to hit and can make a regulation baseball look like a beach ball in comparison. The machine is particularly effective when used with the Quick Stick™ training bat. The narrow lightweight bat allows plenty of swings without fatiguing the batter, and its small diameter means full concentration is required to hit the small balls.
Bad bounces have led to many unearned runs and lost games. Now fielders can be ready for them by practicing with the SKLZ Reaction Ball™. Guaranteed to bounce every which way, this training ball improves reaction time and makes those impossible plays seem quite possible. How much fun is that?
The sun is shining, spring is in the air, and it's time to play ball. Stop by your Dunham's store today and get in the game.

Cook Indian dishes at home with Ruta Kahate's 5 Spices, 50 Dishes, including recipes like Sautéed Beets with Mustard and Lemon Juice, Anglo-Indian Beef Stir-Fry, and Shrikhand with Yogurt Cheese, Saffron, and Pistachios.
by Ruta Kahate
The premise is simple: with five common spices and a few basic ingredients, home cooks can create fifty mouthwatering Indian dishes, as diverse as they are delicious.
Cooking teacher Ruta Kahate has chosen easy-to-find spices—coriander, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper, and turmeric—to create authentic, accessible Indian dishes everyone will love. Roasted Lamb with Burnt Onions uses just two spices and three steps resulting in a meltingly tender roast. Steamed Cauliflower with a Spicy Tomato Sauce and Curried Mushrooms and Peas share the same three spices, but each tastes completely different.
Suggested menus offer inspiration for entire Indian dinners, though it's perfectly all right to mix Anglo-Indian Beef with a green salad and French bread—they will be perfect together. For quick and easy Indian meals, there's nothing more satisfying than 5 Spices, 50 Dishes.
About the Author
Ruta Kahate teaches regional Indian cooking from her home-based school in Oakland, California, which has been featured on the Fine Living Network.
Susie Cushner is a Boston-based photographer whose work can be found in many cookbooks, including Martha's Vineyard Table and The New England Table.

I just wanted to stop by and say a quick thank you to all my Rainbow Bridge friends and earth friends who stopped by to give me rosettes or messages on my Bridge Anniversary and on my recent Daily Diary Pick! I really appreciate you all thinking of me.
Today is my 1 year Rainbow Bridge Anniversary. All us kitties up here are having a big party with lots of yummy food and mice to chase. I was quite surprised to welcome my buddy Tiskers over here this morning, but sad for his meowmy and fur siblings. I'm also happy that my meowmy and my little sisfur Abigail have their air working again. I'll let Abigail go into more detail about that in her diary.
Hope all you cats on earth are having a nice day!
While my little sister on Earth Abigail and I have our own little purrsonalities, we do seem to have certain things in common. I have been observing from the Bridge that Abigail likes to meow while meowmy is trying to talk on the phone, which I used to do. Also, she seems to like trying to steel meowmy's food/beverages. This morning I observed Abigail trying to eat meowmy's breakfast, but wasn't very successful at as meowmy intercepted her before she could steel anything, but she was successful at getting into meowmy's water and cranberry juice. She just played with the ice in meowmy's water, but she actually drank the cranberry juice. I did this when I was a little cat on earth once too.
Hope all my furrends on earth are doing well! We seem to keep busy up here at the Bridge between partying and welcoming new arrivals. It seems like it is one neverending party up here.

Switzerland vs France
Switzerland and France last met on 13 June 2006; it was in Stuttgart in their opening game of that year's World Cup. The game ended 0-0; it was their only previous encounter at the World Cup.
France are unbeaten in their last five games against Switzerland (W2 D3). The Nati's last win against their neighbours dates back to 27 May 1992 in a friendly played in Lausanne (2-1).
Switzerland are yet to beat France in a competitive game (qualifiers + major tournaments), drawing three and losing one (Euro 2004 group stages).
The last three games between Switzerland and France have all been drawn and have only produced two goals.
France have scored 99 goals in World Cup history. Only four teams (Brazil, Germany, Italy and Argentina) have netted more.
In their opening games, both teams enjoyed more possession than they had previously managed in a single World Cup game since 1966 - France (70.8%) and Switzerland (62.16%).
Thanks to his brace against Honduras, Karim Benzema became the first France player to score two goals in a single World Cup game since Zinedine Zidane scored a brace in the 1998 final.
The Real Madrid striker has scored eight goals in his last seven caps.
Three of France's last six goals in the World Cup have come from the penalty spot.
Eight of Switzerland's last 10 goals at the World Cup have come in the second half.
Ricardo Rodriguez delivered two assists in his first game at the World Cup.

It is used when a mammogram has not given your healthcare provider enough information.A breast scan is a type of nuclear imaging test. This means that a tiny amount of a radioactive matter is used during the scan. The radioactive matter called tracer sends out gamma rays. These are picked up by the scanner to make a picture of your breasts.The areas of the breast where the radioactive tracer collects in greater amounts are called "hot spots." The areas that do not absorb the tracer and appear less bright on the scan image are referred to as "cold spots." Cancer cells are usually the hot spots in a breast scan.A breast scan can be helpful in diagnosing breast cancer in younger women. Younger women usually have denser breasts than older women. Denser breast tissue can also happen because of the following:Fibrocystic diseaseFatty breast tissuePast breast surgeryRadiation therapyChemotherapyBiopsyBreast implantsWhy might I need a breast scan?You may need a breast scan if the results of a mammogram are uncertain. Or your healthcare provider may use a breast scan along with mammography.Your healthcare provider may order a breast scan if he or she thinks you have any of the following:TumorInfection (abscess)Collection of blood called hematomaCystYour healthcare provider may also order a breast scan to see how well blood is flowing through your breast tissue.If you have breast cancer, a breast scan can help figure out the stage of your cancer. Your healthcare provider may also use the scan as a follow-up after surgery, chemotherapy, or other breast cancer treatment.Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a breast scan.What are the risks of a breast scan?The risk from the radioactive tracer is very low. The amount used in the test is very small. You may feel some slight discomfort when the tracer is injected. Allergic reactions to the tracer are rare, but they may happen.Lying on the scanning table during the procedure may cause some discomfort or pain for certain people.Tell your healthcare provider if you are:Allergic to or sensitive to medicines, contrast dyes, or latexPregnant or think that you might be pregnant. The scan may not be safe for the fetus.Breastfeeding. The tracer may contaminate your breast milk.Are about to start your period. A scan done at this point may not be accurate.Have any additional medical conditions You may have other risks that are unique to you. Discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure.How do I get ready for a breast scan?Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you. Make a list of questions you have about the procedure. Be sure to discuss these questions and any concerns with your healthcare provider prior to the procedure. Consider bringing a family member or trusted friend to the medical appointment to help you remember your questions and concerns.

The breast to be scanned will be placed through an opening in the table.The radionuclide will be injected into the IV. You may have a slight metallic taste after the injection.The technologist will begin taking images a few minutes after the injection. He or she will place the scanner over the breast. Or the technologist may use at different kind of scan called SPECT.You may be asked to change positions during the scan. For example, you may lie on your back or sit up. You may be asked to sit with your arms straight out or above your head.When the scan is done, the IV will be removed.The breast scan is not painful. But you may have some discomfort or pain from lying still during the test. This may be because of recent surgery or a joint injury.

John was born in Kearny, NJ, hometown of the 2B for the Pirates 1909 World Championship team, Dots Miller. In fact they have some of the same relatives in common, so it was only natural for him to become a lifelong Pirates fan. Before joining Pirates Prospects in July 2010, John had written numerous articles on the history of baseball while also releasing his own book and co-authoring another on the history of the game. He writes a weekly article on Pirates history for the site, has already interviewed many of the current minor leaguers with many more on the way and follows the foreign minor league teams very closely for the site. John also provides in person game reports of the West Virginia Power and Altoona Curve.

Another year older, another year wiser. Sophomore Chyna Golden was one of the five incoming freshmen Pitt welcomed last year to make up the youngest Division I team in women's basketball.
The Neptune, N.J,. native worked hard during the summer to improve her game on all levels and in the process has earned a starting spot when the Panthers tip off against Youngstown State today.
Q: How have you seen yourself grow from the end of last season on March 2 to now as we begin you're the 2012-13 season. ?
Golden: I felt like last season I really wasn't
myself. I liked getting rebounds
and playing the high post, and I felt like I really wasn't playing that game, which didn't really provide an opportunity for me to be very successful. So, I took the time in the spring and summer to improve. When I went home I worked with my trainer and worked on getting shots up. I also worked on my game at the high post, on being aggressive and getting rebounds. I felt like going home in the summer just let me do that. It let me get away from everything and let me get back to me. When I got back after the summer I felt like I was doing things so much better. I am so ready to get this season started.
Q: What makes your Pitt family special?
Golden: I refer to my teammates as family because we
are always together, like "24/10" (laughter). Since we're always
hanging around each other we might as well get to know each other better and
get along - that's what you do as a family. Everyone is always very welcoming
and loving, which is what I really like about Pitt.
Q: Your roommate is teammate Cora McManus. Some
may say you are complete opposites.
Golden: Yeah, Cora and I are cool. We're always
joking around and laughing. Since we do have some dissimilarities in our
personalities I guess you can see it as "opposites attract." Most of
the time we'll just be sitting in the room, watching TV, watching movies, or
trying to catch up on sleep since we don't get a lot of that (laughter).
Q: You verbally committed to Pitt early. What
made Pitt the right choice for a Jersey girl?
Golden: School has always been important to my
family, especially with my mom being a teacher and a part of the education
system. Pitt is a great school that offers an amazing education. With that in
mind, I know that even after my days of playing basketball are over I will
still have a degree from the University of Pittsburgh. And then, obviously, there is basketball. The
Petersen Events Center is a great arena and Pittsburgh is a great city to play
in, plus we are playing in the best conference, the Big East with another
amazing conference for my final two years in the ACC.
Q: How tough was it last week for you as family
and friends battled Hurricane Sandy?
Golden: It was really hard because now when I go back
home in the summer and want to go to the beach with my friends it's going to be
totally different considering most of it was ruined. I live about five minutes
from the beach, so I was there all the time. But, the most important thing to
me was that my family and all the other people that were affected were okay,
because we can always rebuild a house and fix the material aspects. It's bittersweet
because I enjoy going home, but now when I do I will see that all of the places
I used to go to in the summer will be gone.
Q: You have a special affection for the
Nickelodeon character SpongeBob SquarePants. How did that come about?
Golden: I think SpongeBob is kind of crazy and unique, like me, so I just always seemed to like the show. In high school I would carry around a SpongeBob backpack and when I didn't have it people would be ask, 'Chyna, where's your SpongeBob backpack?" People knew me by my love for SpongeBob. I have my SpongeBob covers, my SpongeBob pillow and I even have a little SpongeBob beanie baby. It actually all started when I was a little older. I think everyone enjoys something that makes them feel like a little kid. Some people like Dora the Explorer, or Tigger, or Winnie the Pooh, but I just like SpongeBob.
Q: Do you have any crazy nicknames?
Golden: Yes, but I am not telling you (laughter). It could be used against me later.

UK's Home Secretary Says Terrorists Will Be The Real Winners If Country's Cell Coverage Dead Zones Are Fixed
from the 4G-means-four-times-the-terrorism dept
But Home Secretary Theresa May would rather UK citizens suffer through a plethora of dead zones (or "not spots" -- the term of choice for these no-service areas) than put her country in harm's way. According to an internal letter written by May, providing near-seamless coverage for UK phone users will open the door for increased terrorist activity.
[M]ay argues in the leaked internal Whitehall letter that Javid's plans to end "not-spots", by allowing customers to roam between rival networks, could aid criminals and terrorists. The Times reported that May's objections centre around concerns that roaming would make it more difficult for the agencies to track suspects.This is, of course, ridiculous. In the US, cell phone subscribers hop from tower to tower freely, and yet, law enforcement and national security agencies have plenty of options to track suspects and terrorists. It's hard to believe the GCHQ and UK's law enforcement agencies don't have access to the same methods and technology.
For one, IMSI catchers (Stingray devices) are able to spoof any service provider's tower and, if need be, force every phone in its effective range down to a 2G connection for easier surveillance. So, it ultimately doesn't matter whether these "not spots" exist or have been papered over by legislation or cooperative agreements between service providers.
On top of that, these agencies have access to "tower dumps," often without anything more powerful than a subpoena. This gives agencies a record of every connection made to these towers, whether it was a phone call or simply a ping for a viable signal.
Given what we've learned over the past year, UK's intelligence and law enforcement agencies likely have access to plenty of this information already. Even if they don't, they certainly have the power to compel it. In addition, the GCHQ has the invaluable assistance of the NSA -- an agency that isn't weighed down by the nominal privacy protections granted to UK citizens.
It would seem that the nation's security -- at least under the current "Five Eyes" regime -- would be more threatened by dead zones in coverage than vice versa. Going off the grid would seemingly be more conducive to bad behavior than flouncing about from carrier to carrier, spilling your secrets to at least two powerful intelligence agencies.
But even worse than Theresa May's display of ignorance and fear is her suggestion that the public's connectivity be sacrificed on the altar of national security. David Mitchell -- of That Mitchell and Webb Look -- says it best:
Theresa May is the first person, as far as I know, to suggest that people's activities should be restricted in order actually to facilitate the security services' surveillance – to claim not only that it's permissible for the police to snoop on everything we do and say, but also that we should be discouraged or prevented from doing things the police might have trouble keeping track of.Mitchell's response is exactly what May's little written panic attack deserves. Politicians who filter everything through the terrorism lens tend to develop outsized blind spots. May would rather have UK citizens deal with lousy coverage (and being one step behind their EU counterparts) than perhaps have a terrorist jump towers and ditch pursuing GCHQ agents. Ridiculous.
"Come off it!" some of you may be thinking. "She can't be the first!" And of course you're right – I'm exaggerating. She's certainly not the first person ever – throughout history her point has frequently been made. In fact, the states of the former communist bloc were entirely predicated on this principle, as were most fascist regimes. It's one of the issues over which Lenin and Tsar Nicholas II would probably find common ground if they got stuck with each other at an awkward drinks party in hell.

The engineer won't leave until the situation has been made safe. However, please do be aware that our emergency engineers aren't covered to make repairs to appliances or internal pipework. Depending on the advice you are given by the engineer, you may need to contact a Gas Safe Registered engineer to make any subsequent repairs to appliances or pipework.
