ATLANTA, Ga. – WKU captured a pair of one-run victories over Sun Belt Conference foe Georgia State on Saturday, sweeping the double-header at the GSU Baseball Complex to claim its fifth consecutive weekend series. The Hilltoppers (12-8, 2-1) defeated the Panthers (10-10, 1-2) 4-3 in game one and 6-5 in 10 innings in game two after falling in the opener Friday night.
The Hilltoppers secured their fifth-straight weekend series victory dating back to the end of the 2013 season and have now swept three double-header days this season after accomplishing the feat in back-to-back weekends.
Junior first baseman Ryan Church powered WKU to its game one victory with a pair of solo home runs and was backed by strong pitching from Austin Clay, Tate Glasscock, Brennan Pearson and Ian Tompkins. Clay won his third game of the year while Tompkins picked up his seventh save of the season.
Game two was headlined by late, clutch hitting from the Hilltopper bats and a superb relief effort from junior Brandon Allen. Junior Philip Diedrick sent the contest to extra's with his ninth-inning RBI, sophomore Trevor Lowe plated the go-ahead run in the 10th and Allen preserved the win with three innings of scoreless relief.
WKU pounded out 26 hits in Saturday's wins, which included four hits from Church and sophomore Anderson Miller. The duo combined for eight hits, four runs, four extra-base hits and three RBI.
Complete recaps from both games can be found below
The Hilltoppers return to the diamond on Tuesday when they head to Lexington to battle No. 21 Kentucky at Cliff Hagan Stadium. First pitch time is set for 5:30 p.m. (CT). For more information on WKU Baseball, follow the team on Twitter at @WKUBaseball or visit WKUSports.com.
WKU 4, Georgia State 3
Church put the Hilltoppers on the board in the first inning with his third home run of the season, sending a solo shot straight over the centerfield wall to give WKU the 1-0 lead. The Panthers responded in their half of the first with an RBI from first baseman Nic Wilson to tie things up at 1-1.
WKU rattled off three-straight runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings, using RBI hits from sophomore outfielders Trevor Lowe and Anderson Miller before Church blasted his second home run of the game over the left field fence to make the count 4-1 in WKU's favor. Church finished the game 2-of-4 with two RBI.
Wilson brought the Panthers within one with an RBI single in the fifth inning and a solo homer in the seventh, but the relief combination of juniors Brennan Pearson and Ian Tompkins successfully preserved WKU's 4-3 advantage. Pearson recorded the first two outs of the eighth before Tompkins ended the frame with a strikeout.
A pair of walks made things interesting for Tompkins in the ninth inning but he registered his seventh save of the year with a pair of strikeouts to end the game. The Hilltoppers won their 50th straight game when leading after eight innings while Tompkins moved into fourth-place in WKU history with his 11th career save.
Senior southpaw Austin Clay worked 5.2 innings and struck out five in earning his third win of the season. Clay scattered seven hits, allowed two runs and equaled a season high with his five punchouts.
Miller tied a career high with three hits in the contest, which included two doubles and an RBI. Junior catcher Ryan Messex upped his team-best batting average to .364 with his sixth multi-hit performance of the year.
WKU 6, Georgia State 5
The second game began with a bang for the Hilltoppers as Lowe led off with a single and a stolen base, which set the stage for an RBI double from Wilcox. Wilcox crossed home later in the inning via an RBI groundout Flaherty to give WKU an early 2-0 lead.
Georgia State's Nic Wilson continued to be a thorn in WKU's side, trimming the Hilltopper advantage to 2-1 in the first with a solo shot over the centerfield wall. The Panthers added two more runs in the second with back-to-back RBI hits from Joey Roach and David Levy to jump in front of WKU 3-2.
The Hilltoppers strung together a pair of runs to reclaim the lead at 4-3 with some nice two-out hitting in the fifth inning. After Miller singled up the middle, senior outfielder David Simmons smoked a double down the left field line to score Miller from first. Junior catcher Ty Downing returned the favor to Simmons, poking an RBI single through the middle to put the Hilltoppers up 4-3.
Wilson struck for the Panthers again in the bottom half of the fifth, ripping an RBI single into left that plated Levy to knot things up at 4-4. Georgia State loaded the bases with one out in the seventh inning and it was again Wilson driving in the go-ahead run with a fielders' choice RBI to give the Panthers the lead back at 5-4.
The Panthers' lead held until the ninth inning when WKU led off the frame with a walk from Wilcox and a double from Church. Georgia State pitched around Flaherty to get to pinch hitter Philip Diedrick, who drove in the tying run with a hard grounder to short. WKU had runners on the corners with one out but couldn't plate the go-ahead run in the ninth.
Junior relief pitcher Brandon Allen worked perfect eighth and ninth innings to push the contest to extra innings. Downing led off the 10th with a single to left field and freshman shortstop Leiff Clarkson moved him into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. A passed ball put Downing on third base with one out, which set the stage for Lowe's go-ahead RBI single that gave WKU its 6-5 victory.
Allen gave up a hit but nothing more in the 10th, getting a double-play ball from the Hilltopper defense to win the game. Allen tossed three innings of scoreless relief, surrendering just one hit in earning his first career victory.
Senior right-hander Jake Thompson threw 6.1 effective innings for WKU, scattering eight hits and punching out five while giving up five runs. Freshmen relievers Sam Higgs and Ryan Thurston both recorded two big outs for the Hilltoppers in the seventh inning, getting WKU out of a bases loaded, one out jam with only one run crossing.

When you create a new post, it's added to your FB Fan page. However the URL it uses is the default permalink (/?p=123) rather than a more SEO friendly one (as per settings for the website).
Another question; is this plugin supposed to combine comments posted on both the post and the Fanpage? It doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, although it would be ace if FB can include that. I seem to be getting quite a few comments on when they get posted to the Fan page, but not so many underneath the article.

Thank you for such a fun day at your office, Mayor Gimenez.

I've never been held by a Mayor before and I've never been higher than the second floor either.
Do you know, that since I've been in politics now….for about a week…I've never lost a vote?
Last Tuesday, a Committee of Commissioners voted unanimously to support the Pets' Trust Initiative, and today ... EVERY SINGLE COMMISSIONER voted to do the same.
So, two votes and two unanimous decisions. It's not that hard….
I really felt a great bond when you kissed me today. I think I can be of great use for you if you have any political ambitions in the future.
Please feel free to contact my people. I never lose.

Paul Gascoigne returned to the Stadio Olimpico on a night Hugo Lloris became a new Tottenham hero.
The build-up to this Europa League tie was dominated by a city centre attack on Spurs fans and Lazio's notorious Curva Nord made anti-Semitic chants in German during this match - weeks after UEFA fined the Rome club for racist abuse aimed at the Londoners' black players in the reverse fixture.
Catch up on all the action with our Europa League blog REWIND
But on the pitch, Andre Villas Boas' brave side remained unbeaten in Europe this season thanks to a superb display from their French goalkeeper.
Lloris, who made his club debut in the goalless draw with the Serie A club in September, made a series of inspired stops to repeat the scoreline in Rome.
At the end of a difficult day, the France No 1 ran over to the 2,000 travelling Spurs fans and threw them his shirt and gloves to rapturous applause which matched Gazza's earlier reception.
Signed from Lyon on transfer deadline day but often kept out of the side by Brad Friedel, this match could be the making of him at White Hart Lane.
"It was important for him and a great help for the team," said AVB. "He was decisive in a couple of moments. I think our positives are that we showed the courage to hold onto the result, our physical effort and the good moments of possession."
Panathinaikos' victory over Maribor last night means Lazio are through to the knockout stages.
Tottenham must now avoid defeat in their final Group J game against the Greeks at White Hart Lane next month to join them.
Tottenham's unbeaten run of five matches in the Europa League is in contrast to their run of four consecutive domestic defeats.
Last night's result could have been even better had Gareth Bale's fourth-minute strike, after a pass from Tom Carroll, not been incorrectly ruled out for offside.
"Against Lazio, we've had four goals disallowed," said the Spurs manager.
"Two of them rightly and two of them not, maybe three. It's difficult to see decisions go that way but we move on. We take the result. We are in a comfortable position to qualify."
After a tense day in the Roman capital, Gascoigne united both sides when he presented to the crowd before kickoff.
The star of Italia 90 was welcomed onto the pitch with Nessun Dorma blaring over the PA and banners reading: "Lionhearted, headstrong, pure talent, real man. Still our hero. Welcome back Gazza."
Both of his former sides could have used his goalscoring touch last night.
Bale forced home keeper Federico Marchetti to push over a cross-shot but Lazio - and especially lone striker Libor Kozak - had the majority of the chances.
After a shaky start, Lloris denied the Czech striker twice in the first half and also tipped a long-range shot from Cristian Ledesma onto the post.
Jermain Defoe, Aaron Lennon and Mousa Dembele - making his first Spurs appearance for six weeks - came on in the second half but Lloris had to make another low save from Kozak and then saved with his legs from a header from defender Michael Ciani following a corner.
Tottenham yesterday turned down a bid from Blackburn to take Friedel on loan.

Pleased to see that the love affair between writer Jeanette Winterson and psychoanalyst Susie Orbach, first revealed by the Londoner, reached giddying new heights yesterday.
Winterson took to Twitter at 2pm to make Orbach an offer. "VALENTINE'S DAY. Sun shining. Susie Orbach will you marry me? x (well, marriage is a public declaration, isn't it?)".
The Twitter world held its breath for Orbach's reply, only for her to tweet about a women's campaign. This morning, there was still silence.
Was it a faux pas to propose on Twitter? The Londoner turned to the Spectator's agony aunt Mary Killen. "If my pin-up, Paddy Leigh Fermor, had proposed to me on Twitter, I would have thought it unromantic because it involved the public," says Killen. She observes that Orbach and Winterson are "beyond etiquette": "They make their own world."

Napoleon used years on St Helena to learn English
By Vicky Buffery
PARIS (Reuters Life!) - Greying, inkstained notebook fragments showing Napoleon Bonaparte's efforts two centuries ago to grasp the English language go on auction in Paris at the weekend, alongside some 350 other Napoleonic artifacts.
Captured by the British at Waterloo and held on the remote Atlantic island of Saint Helena until his death in 1821, the French emperor used his time in captivity to learn English -- although the scraps show the military mastermind to be a less-than-model pupil.
Written in Napoleon's spidery handwriting, the remnants of his lessons from a French count also in exile on Saint Helena show how the headstrong leader doodled to combat boredom, and struggled with the intricacies of English grammar.
"Even learning English, he couldn't shake off the soldier, the army man inside him. His doodles are of walls and designs of military fortifications," said Jean-Pierre Osenat, chairman of Paris-based auction house Osenat, which is handling the sale.
The auction house expects the paper scraps, mounted on three framed boards, to fetch up to 9,500 euros ($13,660) in total at Sunday's auction.
As ruler of France from 1804 to 1815, Napoleon established a powerful military empire extending over much of Western Europe before being defeated by the Duke of Wellington's forces at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815 and taken hostage.
It was while being transferred to Saint Helena that he voiced his shame at never having learnt English, and his companion in exile, the Count of Las Cases, happily obliged by giving him lessons over the subsequent years.
"It's incredible to think that after fighting the English for his entire life, Napoleon only decided to learn English at the end. He could have thought of it before," said Osenat. Continued...

Market reactions to audit committee director's gender: Evidence from US-traded foreign firms
This study investigates whether the appointment of a female to the audit committee of a foreign issuer in the US is positively associated with subsequent market price reaction. We hypothesize that female members on the audit committee can strengthen corporate governance by their conservative and ethical qualities. Accordingly, such appointments deliver a positive message to capital market participants. In order to observe the impact of audit committee gender diversity on foreign firms, we include all audit committee appointments for US-traded foreign firms from 2002 to 2009. We find that the appointment of female audit committee members has significant positive cumulative abnormal returns compared to the appointment of male audit committee members.

After a forced vacation from the blog due to an office move I am here to warn you. I'm back.
That said I'm getting reoriented to the knowledge needs of entrepreneurs who must protect their critical data and to the risk management needs of those infosec and auditing types who must assure their small business vendors are doing the right thing.
As I do that a quick tip ...
If you are a regular tweeter log in to twitter and check your authorized apps. I was surprised when I resurfaced at the number of apps that were authorized to use my twitter account. Almost half of them were from long forgotten experiments. Experiment on! But clean up the lab from time to time to ensure you don't leave key information exposed from a forgotten test.
Here's the quick to do:
- Log into twitter at twitter.com
- Choose view profile page
- Choose edit your profile
- Choose apps
- Review the list of applications. Revoke any that you no longer use.
Go back to being safely social!

Burmese monks who fled to U.S. a vanishing breed
By Christine Kearney
UTICA, New York (Reuters) - Burmese monks were beaten, jailed and killed while protesting Myanmar's military regime in 2007, and dozens found refuge in America.
But now most have been forced to swap their saffron-colored robes for blue-collar workwear and abandon their monkhood out of a need to scratch out a living in their adopted land.
The few remaining monks are clinging to their vocation in this rundown former textile mill town some 240 miles north of New York City, trying to adapt.
Among them is U Gawsita, who sits quietly in an English class, still wearing his robes, one of many immigrants learning U.S. history in Utica.
At dawn he prays with three fellow monks crammed into one floor of a clapboard house, now his makeshift monastery. But Gawsita, 30, who is seen rousing monks with a bullhorn in the Oscar-nominated film "Burma VJ," showing on U.S. cable channel HBO this month, is part of a dying breed.
Some 38 monks were granted asylum in the United States soon after the Saffron Revolution, the 2007 protests during which barefoot, shaven-headed monks shielded and led civilians to march against rising fuel prices which snowballed into the biggest challenge to military rule since a 1988 uprising.
Today, just eight remain monks.
"The monks couldn't survive here. They were forced to change, to become regular civilians," a soft-spoken Gawsita said in a recent interview surrounded by Buddhist flags and a montage of photos including Nobel Peace Prize winner and Burmese pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi. Continued...

Land of the Rising Sun…
Japan Earthquake & Tsunami -Then & Now
It was been a little over 5 months since the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Hard to believe that the news that was once on everyone's mind has probably dissipated a bit. The people of Japan in the regions that were hit the hardest are still struggling. A friend went on a mission trip to Japan and visited the area hit by the natural disaster said that there are many volunteers still there assisting in any way they can and the people of the region are doing what they can to get back to the norm. But what exactly is the norm for them from this point on. The clean up efforts have been huge! Places where boats once were jammed into a home have been moved, debris on streets have been cleared but then what? Just to get back to the starting point has been the past several months. These people will now have to find homes, jobs and schools. I pray that the people in this region do not give up hope and hope that people still continue to sow into their lives as long as needed.
Below are some pictures courtesy of International Business Times of what has been accomplished so far after 5 months of hard, dedicated work. Great job and thank you to all who have helped.

stevie for president replied to Ally's topic in GeneralI'm almost positive they will seek naming rights because that's just the way things work in today's world. I just hope they call it the "(Sponsor) Olympia Stadium" or something along those lines, so that we as fans can say we're going to "Olympia" or "The O" or whatever we'd end up calling it instead of some corporate name. It'd be kind of like the Scotiabank Sattledome. I almost never hear the Scotiabank part when people talk about The Sattledome, which I'm happy about.
Rhah liked a post in a topic: NHL penalties/suspensions for hits getting out of hand.
stevie for president replied to jollymania's topic in GeneralTorres has a history and it's hard to give him the benefit of doubt, but he didn't jump, he didn't throw an elbow, he didn't take strides before the check, the shoulder was the initial point of contact, and in my opinion the head was only contacted because Stoll reached for the puck and was on his back way up which shifted the position of his head and shoulders. The only valid argument I can see against Torres is that the check was reckless, but I'd argue that Stoll was even more reckless for reaching for a puck. Bad things happen to you when you reach for the puck. The NHL is shifting blame on the checking player, and I think it's unfair because that's a hit Torres needs to make (just like Gryba needed to make that hit last round) and the hit would have been clean if Stoll stayed in the leaning forward position. I could see 1-2 for a reckless hit with incidental contact to the head given Torres' history, but a potential 6 game suspension in the playoffs for this hit is entirely too much. Just my 2 cents.

stevie for president liked a post in a topic: Detroit/Chicago Divisional Rivalry
stevie for president replied to unsaddleddonald's topic in GeneralI agree, no one wants our garbage, but last year Stuart said he wants to go to Cali and there were rumors of Anaheim looking to trade Bobby Ryan. You could've packaged Stuart, a 1st, and mid-round pick or mid-range prospect for Bobby Ryan at that time (and I even suggested it in a thread last year so this isn't a case of hindsight being 20/20) instead of letting Stuart walk and wasting that 1st on Quincey. At this deadline, you could've gotten at least a 5th for White and an overpayment for Filppula who are both likely walking at the end of the season. My issue is if Kenny is rebuilding, why were the wings trying to be bargain shoppers at the deadline? He could have just as easily gotten some picks and prospects for those 2 UFAs, scratched guys like Cleary and seen what the next wave of prospects has to offer. Maybe Tatar provides some offense. I mean, he can't be worse than Flip or Brunner have been. Dallas, Phoenix, and San Jose are 3 sellers who have really turned it on after the deadline, so it's possible to be a seller and still make the playoffs, too!
stevie for president replied to drumnj's topic in GeneralFor a long time, the Detroit-Chicago rivalry was just us kicking them while they were down. The rivalry didn't get good until 2009-2010, and even then it wasn't much of rivalry. Just 2 good teams in the same division, but no bad blood. Maybe they hate us and want it to be a rivalry, but I'm more upset about leaving the Sharks than Hawks to be honest. Sucks we likely won't have a chance to avenge the 2010 and 2011 playoff losses.

We've been on the receiving end of so many first round upsets that I'm surprised some of you are so pessimistic. Maybe it's finally our time to be Cinderella. Get in and anything can happen, even beating the almighty Hawks.
BadgerBob liked a post in a topic: Concerned - we might not make it in to the playoffs
stevie for president replied to RedWingsRox's topic in GeneralThere are some bad GMs in this league, but I don't think any of them are dumb enough to touch Franzen's contract. And I think trading Z and Kronner is a little excessive with all the promising prospects that could help turn this team back into cup contenders around in 3 or 4 years. I would have loved to see them trade Flip, Q, and White and waive Cleary, get some picks maybe a prospect or two, and see what you really have in Tatar, Nyquist, and DeKeyser. Instead, now you get to watch Flip and White walk out the door for free this summer, and if you don't buy out Franzen and hopefully Samuelsson if he isn't injured, you'll probably end up having to waive Tatar or Nyquist (hopefully they'd waive the right guy this time, not like with Meech and Quincey 4 years ago). You can't keep letting talent walk away for free and still expect to be good, but sadly that's been the Red Wings M.O. since the 2009 cup loss.
stevie for president replied to unsaddleddonald's topic in GeneralProbably because they have 2 top 6 forwards and 1, maybe 2, puck moving defensemen. I don't know if it's a lack of creativity as much as it is a lack of talent. This team is not good.
stevie for president replied to RedWingsRox's topic in GeneralIt's not the end of the world if the streak ends. All non-playoff teams have a shot at the 1st overall pick, and regardless this would be our highest draft pick since we took Marty Lapointe 10th overall in 1991. I just wish Kenny would've shopped Flip and White and even Quincey. More draft picks and cap space for next season is never a bad thing. Oh well, hopefully he can get something for Q or Flip's right at the draft.
stevie for president replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralWhat numbers were better? In 2008-2009, Quincey had 4 goals and 34 assists in 72 games with LA while Chelios has 0 points in 28 games with Detroit. Meech had 7 points in 41 games for Detroit. So in 2008-2009, both had better numbers than Chelios. Plus, Chelios was the 2nd oldest player in NHL history in 2008, so both Quincey and Meech had more upside at that time, too. It's kind of impossible to compare them in previous years because 08-09 was Quincey's 1st season playing more than 6 games (not including the 2007 playoffs where Quincey played only 8 minutes a night).
stevie for president replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralWasn't it more like choosing between Chelios and Quincey though? Sure at the time Meech was better and looked to have more upside, but both were better than Chelios. Hindsight is always 20/20 though and if anyone says they knew Quincey would flourish in LA and become a future 2nd pair defenseman, they're lying.
stevie for president replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralWhite could get you at least a 5th rounder like Ryan O'Byrne did for the Avs. You could turn that 5th rounder into a McKee, Backman, or Mrazek. Or you could watch him walk out the door for nothing this summer.
stevie for president replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralDisagree. They let too many pieces walk away for nothing, and it'll hurt to see White and Flip follow that trend.

Q&A With Nate Britt
by Stephen Thompson, GoHeels.com
Freshman Nate Britt was in the starting lineup for Friday's season-opening win over Oakland, becoming the 30th UNC player to start his first game as a freshman and the ninth point guard. GoHeels.com visited with Britt after Friday's game to discuss how his first contest went from his point of view.
On his performance Friday vs. Oakland
I thought it was ok. I was a little nervous coming out, but I thought as a team we did a great job. We improved from the exhibition and Late Night. I'm just glad we are getting better.
"I think I had some bad turnovers and things that I could have done better. And playing with more confidence. I was a little nervous coming out. I think other than that I'll be fine.
Chemistry between Paige and Britt
Playing with two point guards together has always been easier because we always have the same mindset. Point guards usually think pass first and we always try to make the right decisions, so us being out there together, I think it makes the game a whole lot easier.
I think it's good because we have the same type of mindset. I think it's easier to kind of find each other in spots where we know we can do something with the ball or score. Two point guards being out there together at the same time, we have a better feel for the game than I think everyone else does. Us being out there together, it makes the game a lot easier for me.
How fun was first game
I felt more nervous than excited. Just because it's Carolina basketball and it has always been my dream school. I was more nervous than excited, but now after the game and it's over with I feel like I can just relax and play.
I would say there were a lot of nerves building up to the game. I knew that my coaching staff and teammates had their trust in me. I just tried to go out there and put it all behind me and play.
Transition from high school to college
It hasn't been too bad for me. I feel like the speed of the game wasn't very difficult. The strength of the guys is a whole lot different and how athletic they are. I've never played with bigs like McAdoo, Desmond, Brice, Kennedy... just their athleticism, strength and size, I've never played with bigs like them. I think the physicality and athleticism is the biggest adjustment I've had to go through.
How he thinks Coach Williams will use him going forward
I think Coach has a lot of trust in us two being out there together. He has a history of playing point guards together. At Kansas he played three point guards at one time. I think he feels more comfortable with that because turnovers is one of his big things and as long as we keep down on the turnovers I think he likes that type of lineup.
On playing well despite missing P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald
I thought it was big for us. We came out with a lot of energy and intensity. We played hard and I think that's the biggest thing we had to do this year and we came out and did that right away.
Did the first game go better than you thought it would go?
For me, personally it went better than I anticipated because I was nervous and I think for the team it went better than I anticipated because Oakland is a great team. I know I was nervous coming into the game, after doing the scouts and stuff like that, so I'm glad we came out and built the lead that we built and played as hard as we did.
Because of injuries in high school, do you think people may not realize how good you are?
I wouldn't say that. I would say maybe they didn't get a chance to see as much of me as they would like to.
How were you prepared for your first game?
Yeah I think I was prepared. We did a lot of work in the summer. Marcus has been helping me all throughout the summer, since we have been practicing before this game. Just the way that Marcus has been helping me P.J. and Leslie have been helping me a lot and teaching me new stuff. Coach, Coach Rob, and all the coaching staff has been preparing me up for this game because they knew I would have the chance to play like I did tonight.
How he got uniform number 0
I did not take that from him [Joel James]. I requested 0, but he decided that he wanted to switch after last year. So I ended up taking it.
0 was always my number since sixth or seventh grade and that's just always been my number from that point on. As soon as Joel said he was switching I had to get 0.
When I was in middle school, in my area basketball is a big thing, there was a lot of hype from kids going from middle school to high school and I thought a lot of people counted me as the underdog. I always use 0 as motivation to get better.
Emotionally what's it like being in starting lineup for UNC
I think it was more nerve-racking than the exhibition game. I was just nervous about playing against this great team in Oakland. We did the scout and I saw how good the players were, so that was the biggest thing I was nervous about. I don't think I was nervous about coming in and playing or starting.
On Marcus Paige helping him along
It's been great. He's been helping me from the summer. If he didn't go through what he went through last year he wouldn't have been able to help me as much as he did. He knows just about everything. He knows about how Coach wants us point guards to play. He's been teaching me the whole time and I think that's given me a great advantage heading into the season.
On Coach always wanting hustle and intensity
-screaming at him on bench
He was just telling me to sprint to the check in table. That's all it was. He wants us to do everything with a sense of urgency.
I think the biggest things for me to learn were the defensive principles. In high school it was similar but it wasn't the same. We emphasized some things more than I did in high school. Just learning all the defensive principles and how I need to guard the ball, playing my man off the ball. I think those are the biggest adjustments I've had to make.
On new things to learn
There's a lot of stuff like that. Coach just wants us to do everything with a sense of urgency so off the court it's just being on time and doing things with a sense of urgency.
Has the transition been smooth?
Yeah I think it has been a little easier than I thought. When we did things in the summer I was real nervous, I thought it was a lot to take in. There's a lot of plays to remember, a lot of defensive sets. It hasn't been as hard as I thought. Like I said, Marcus has been helping me, and it has been a good advantage for me.
Relationship with Marcus Paige
I think we are real tight. We probably have the biggest bond on the team out of anybody else because we are two point guards, left handed. I think our knowledge of the game creates that bond between us and it's like a chemistry.
On playing for his dream school
I don't think it's really hit me yet. It's great, but like I said, I've just been nervous the whole time so I'm trying to focus on coming out and doing the right things. Do everything the coaches ask of me and do the right play.
It hasn't hit me yet that I'm playing in a Carolina jersey for my dream school and the best program. That's what I've always thought as a kid, this was my dream school. My dad's a Carolina fan, my whole family is Carolina fans. It hasn't hit me yet because I've been trying to focus on doing the right thing and doing the things the coaches have taught me. I think it will hit me eventually.
Doing different things on defense than he is used to
Guarding the ball on the sideline. They put a lot of emphasis on being parallel to the sideline. I'm used to playing the guy to the sideline and opening it up a little more. We help a whole lot more than what I'm used to. Those are the two biggest things that are different.
Learning transition offense
I think that's the easiest thing that I've learned so far. He always wants us to get as many quick baskets as we can. Primary break and then the secondary break, I think those are the two things that are the easiest for me because we started going over that stuff in the summer and it has carried over to now.
On personalities of freshman class
[Kennedy] is the outgoing one, the silly one, I'm kind of even-keel and Isaiah is more quiet or stand-offish. So we are all different.
On how close they are
Me, Isaiah, Kennedy, and J.P. room together. Us four have created a type of bond. We always hang out together and go out together, we go eat together, when we come back from class we are always together. I think it's built a bond between us.
On what surprised him the most
Just knowing that I can play the game with these college players. When you come from a high school level to the college level it's a whole new game. I think just me understanding that I can play with these dudes and coach has me here for a reason.
Who will handle the ball between he and Marcus Paige
I have no idea. Whoever is there will get the ball. If Marcus is already there I can't go all the way back because that takes up time. We want to get as many fast break buckets as we can. If Marcus is there, I get up the court, if I'm there he gets up the court. Whatever happens we just go with it.
How the extra time he will get will benefit him
Playing with those guys has benefitted me in practice. We always mix it up in practice. Different lineups and different groups. I think playing with them in practice has benefitted me more [than playing without them in the games].

Speaking at the European Parliament in early February 2013, Francois Hollande of France castigated the floating exchange rate of the euro. "The euro should not fluctuate according to the mood of the markets. A monetary zone must have an exchange rate policy. If not it will be subjected to an exchange rate that does not reflect the real state of the economy." The week before, the euro was at $1.37, a 15-month high. The euro was at its strongest rate against the Japanese yen since April 2010. Behind the rise in the currency's value was a surge in investor interest in the euro from assessments that the worst of the debt crisis had passed. Hollande's statement can be critiqued on a number of points.
First, a floating mechanism is an exchange rate policy. It was not as though the ECB did not have one merely because it was that of "float" rather than "fixed" or "pegged." Second, it is by no means certain that a fixed or even a managed-float would reflect the underlying condition of the economy. Third, the increasing value of the euro reflects increasing confidence in the euro-zone, which is not by any means a bad thing for Europe.
Was the upswing in the value of the euro just the beginning of the currency's rise as a reserve currency around the world?
Hollande was concerned that the increasing value of the euro would hurt exports by rendering them more expensive in other currencies. Just as the E.U. was trying to claw back out of a deep recessionary hole, the prospect of declining exports could make the climb out all the more difficult. "We need to protect our interests," Hollande said. Meanwhile, however, Philipp Rösler, Germany's vice-chancellor and economy minister, said the eurozone's top priority should be "strengthening competitiveness, rather than weakening the currency." This assumes that increasing competitiveness could withstand the headwinds of a strong currency. The added difficulty, he was no doubt assuming, would be preferable to a weak euro as investors continue to steer clear of the eurozone. Put another way, the vote of confidence is on balance a good thing for the E.U., even if it means having to push harder on structural reforms to more than compensate for the new headwinds.
The return to health of the euro can be viewed in a "bigger picture," which also argues against Hollande's stance. Namely, a stronger euro even before the bailout had ended may suggest that the currency could eventually compete with, or even replace the U.S. dollar as the main reserve currency globally. With a federal public debt of nearly $17 trillion at the time (plus the debts of the American states), the dollar could already be viewed as vulnerable. The vote of confidence of investors in the euro could eventually exploit this vulnerability. Politically, if the E.U. moves to establish a balance between the power of the states and that of the union, that federal system will be much healthier than the nearly-consolidated American federal system. With a more balanced federal system and a currency to rival the dollar, the E.U., not the U.S., could be in a position to take on the "Asian century."
By implication, whether a stronger E.U. is in the interest of the U.S. is a complicated question. Perhaps just as it is advisable that the E.U. move toward balance federally, the American interest is that the E.U. strengthen more—but only so much—relative to the European state governments. Put another way, even though it is in the American interest that the euro not be called into question by investors, the Americans would not want to see the euro rival the dollar as the reserve currency. For there are certain advantages that come with being the definitive reserve currency around the world, such as being able to artificially sustain and even increase a huge public debt. In a sense, Hollande was serving the American interest more than that of the E.U. by pushing to keep the euro from strengthening any more. Put another way, he wanted to trade economic growth for more long-term intangible assets.

Reviews of this property
Prima gelegen in het oude Stockholm. Helaas is het binnen erg donker. Voor 2 personen is het een fijn appartement.
Lovely old character apartment, exactly as advertised. Location was superb, close to ferries and hop on hop off cruise boats. Lovely historic district right at hand. Easy walking distance into city center and main shops. Apartment lounge and kitchen are small but adequate for two people, it would be possible but tight for four adults. Agneta was friendly and popped in twice during our four days there to check that everything was fine. It is an extremely old building with a basement bedroom, so just a tad musty as to be expected. Otherwise fine and we were happy with our choice, especially for us the apartment character and location winning out over other less centrally located holiday apartments.
Je ne peux pas donner d'avis sur notre hôtesse, que je n'ai pas rencontrée. Mais nous avons été séduits par l'appartement. Pour résumer, il donne le sentiment que son propriétaire l'a décoré et équipé comme s'il voulait y vivre.
en otroligt fin och mysig lägenhet.
med allt som man behövde plus att det var nära till allt .
städat och bäddat. helt perfekt!!! // Katarina Jakobsson
My colleague and I had stayed 5 days and we feel as at home,all is perfect, bath, kitchen, room, comfortable temperature and the localization is excellent in the really city center,10 minutes to the train station. The system to have the key, perfect too. Thank you Agnetha, you could be sure we talk about your house to our friends and colleagues who want to go to Stockholm.
Appartement agréable et très bien situé au centre ville.
Idéal pour deux, mais bien trop exigu pour quatre.
Fantastic location, great city, nice appartment. If you are going with more than two persons I would recommend Agneta to replace the matrass on the couch. Furthermore it was a great weekend.
Nice apartment, very centrally located.
Nettes Appartement, sehr zentral gelegen.

Even as he directs Newcastle's transformation from crackpots to contenders, Alan Pardew evidently remains humble enough to know when he has been tinged with good fortune.
"After we drew 2-2 at St James' Park," says Harry Redknapp, his counterpart at Tottenham, "Alan came to me and said there is no way they would have got a draw if Ledley King had not gone off injured." It is an honest assessment, and it is impossible to disagree: after all, when King plays, Spurs win.
This campaign is a case in point. Beaten heavily by Manchester United and then Manchester City in his absence, when Redknapp's 31-year-old captain – so plagued by a knee injury that he cannot train with his team-mates for much of the week, so fragile that each game is a test of endurance – returned to the side against Wolves, Spurs were bottom.
Since then, King has played nine times, equalling the number of appearances he made throughout last season. Of those nine, Spurs have won eight, the only exception being that late draw with Pardew's team during which King was withdrawn (pictured, right). They are the Premier League's form side, winning 28 of their last 30 points, described by the Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas as the "strongest challengers" to the duopoly of the Manchester sides.
Redknapp insists such a tag is unwarranted, if not unwelcome. He knows, though, that if King stays strong, so do Tottenham's unlikely title hopes.
"It is no coincidence that the run we have been on, he has played every game," says Redknapp. "He has been great. He gives you an air of confidence, he's in the right place at the right time, he reads the game so well. He has got everything. Imagine the pace he would have had if it was not for all those injuries. He would have been as good as anybody in the world."
The injuries, though, cannot simply be erased. King is football's great hypothetical: if he had not had that rotten luck, those chronic knee troubles, what might Spurs have achieved? After all, his record over the last three seasons is played 41, lost six. His impact is a tangible, quantifiable one. And what of England?
"It went a bit wrong when they took him to the World Cup," admits his manager. "I thought he would get through it, playing just week to week, but he picked up an injury in that first game. I would be surprised if he made it to the European Championships."
Given the work that goes in to getting the 31-year-old ready for one Premier League game each week, it seems unlikely Fabio Capello would be prepared to take the risk. Redknapp insists he spends much of his time with fitness coaches, using the club's specialist equipment to run without putting strain on his knee, but his description of how little work King can do is slightly, characteristically hyperbolic.
"He has not been out all week," says Redknapp. "He will come out today, have a 10-minute warm-up and a jog round, a bit of piggy-in-the-middle, and hopefully he'll be OK. He does not see a ball at all during the week. He's like a throwback to the days when they'd say not to give the players a ball all week so they would want it on a Saturday. They would just run you round the track."
King does, in truth, a little more: an abundance of swimming, and often his Friday sessions are far longer than his manager suggests. That he is to be guarded delicately, though, cannot be in doubt.
It is an exaggeration to suggest that Spurs' hopes of a first title since 1961 rest entirely on King's shoulders. After all, there are other factors at work: Redknapp touches on recent experience, insisting that his side might have gone close last year had Champions League defeat at Real Madrid not punctured their confidence. He feels elimination from the Europa League, now almost certain, may prove a blessing."We are disappointed that we may not go through," he admits. "But a lot of the teams around us will be disappointed we don't have that distraction."
The work of chairman Daniel Levy, too, he says, has allowed the club to flourish, despite the impression that the pair are not exactly a likely duo. "Anyone who works with Daniel would make an odd couple," he quips. "He is a businessman, he has a brilliant business brain, and we are football people. But the whole set-up is amazing. It is a very well-run club, and he has to take a lot of credit for that."
So, too, should Redknapp, for so convincingly laying aside the wheeler-dealer image he despises and slowly, surely, nurturing a side. "People always think I will ask for players but I don't," he says. "I have only brought lots of players into clubs because I have had useless teams. I took over teams at the bottom of the league and could not do anything with them except change them."
There is little that requires alteration at White Hart Lane. As long as King stays fit.
