About WashingtonWatch.com
WashingtonWatch.com delivers the numbers behind proposed legislation and regulation. It is important to understand where these numbers come from and what they mean.
WashingtonWatch.com starts with predictions about the costs or savings from proposed changes to government spending, taxation, and regulation. We take these predictions and calculate their "net present value." That is the value today of changes to future spending, taxes, or regulation.
Then, we divide that "net present value" calculation by the total number of people in the United States. The resulting figures convey the significance to average Americans — in dollars and cents — of proposed changes to the nation's policies.
WashingtonWatch.com takes the perspective of individual citizens: An increased tax is treated as a "cost" because it takes money from people and businesses. Government spending also "costs" money because it moves money out of the public treasury we all own. "Savings" occur when spending cuts keep money in the public treasury and tax cuts return money to the public.
The figures on WashingtonWatch.com reveal the relative size and significance of proposals, but they are not perfect predictions and they do not tell you everything you should know. Please keep in mind that:
- Future spending, taxes, and regulatory costs are very difficult to estimate, even for government experts. Most estimates also cover only a limited number of years.
- The "Cost/Savings" figure reflects the aggregate of revenues and spending in the bill --- a measure of its effect on the size and activity of the government. The effect the bill will have on the national debt is produced by comparing the amount of spending and revenue in the bill. A bill with more spending than revenue will increase the national debt. A bill with more revenue than spending will decrease it.
- WashingtonWatch.com does not report the many benefits that may be provided by government regulation and spending, made possible by taxation. Proposals that "cost" the average American may benefit you, your community, your loved ones, or your employer.
- The dollar amounts on WashingtonWatch.com do not reflect the "incidence" of taxes, spending, or regulation. A tax cut that would save money for the average American, for example, may reduce taxes on only a specific industry or people with a specific level of income.
- WashingtonWatch.com does not report the budgetary consequences of legislation. A proposal that "saves" money may drive the national debt higher because it reduces taxes without reducing spending. One that "costs" may reduce the national debt because it includes more taxes than spending.
- Not all items tracked on WashingtonWatch.com will be passed into law, and not all legislation and regulation is tracked on WashingtonWatch.com. Adding up all the proposals tracked by WashingtonWatch.com would produce a number that is essentially meaningless.
In summary, the information on WashingtonWatch.com is not the last word on government spending, taxation, and regulation. Rather, WashingtonWatch.com should be your starting point for investigating what the government does with your money, and for taking action to control it.
WashingtonWatch.com is maintained by Jim Harper, Director of Information Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, in his spare time, as a public service.

Tencent Tech, 4/25/12
Shanghai Shuimu Animation has sued Sony in a patent infringement case in Beijing's Haidian District People's Court. However, the court has yet to issue a verdict. Shanghai Shuimu Animation alleges that Sony and its partner, educational technology company Beijing Anview Technology, violated its copyright by making unlicensed broadcasts of TV series "5,000 Years of China." Sony (China) refuted that it is a technology services provider, and is not subject to infringement, and Anview Technology has challenged the compensation amount.
The Sony KDL-40NX710 LCD TV is able to access video services provided by Anview Technology, including the Shanghai Shuimu cartoon "5,000 Years of China." In July 2011, Shanghai Shuimu sued Sony Corporation and Anview Technology, ordering both companies to immediately stop infringing and compensate Shanghai Shuimu RMB 2.3 mln for economic losses.

NASA Shares Asteroid Knowledge Via Angry Birds
The latest game update is a collaboration with the space agency to highlight new deep space efforts.
The epic struggle between irate birds and greedy pigs blasts off into the final frontier in Angry Birds Space. Since 2012, this offshoot of the popular Angry Birds franchise has been a collaborative effort between Rovio Entertainment and NASA to show fans the science behind space exploration through innovative game play—such as using the gravity of nearby planets for unusual trick shots. Now, fans can travel into parts unknown and explore NASA's next targets for deep space exploration with the latest update: Beak Impact.
Beak Impact takes fans into deep space to shed light on NASA's future asteroid missions, in particular focusing on the science and technology necessary to get there. The game maintains the typical Angry Birds touch of light-hearted charm and quirky narrative, and also provides players with real information about asteroids through direct links hidden within the game's numerous levels. Sharp-eyed fans can also search levels for interactive information on some of NASA's most famous missions including: Orion, Dawn, OSIRIS-REX and the Deep Impact missions.
As a special 'Easter Egg', space explorer historians get a special nod in this update with the addition of the "Mighty Buzzard"—a useful in-game tool and punny homage to Apollo 11 moonwalker, Buzz Aldrin.
Overall, this update is committed to educate, inform and inspire players. The agency hopes to use this update to coincide with their own Asteroid Initiative, a mission to detect, track, characterize and even redirect potentially hazardous asteroids. By combining a mix of in-game ingenuity and real science, this game may be one small step for NASA's entertainment platform, but it could also be one giant leap to getting more fans excited about space exploration.

How did NCSU train our RDA trainers?
We used a mixed approach to training our trainers. As an official US RDA Test Institution, we were able to send one staff member to Library of Congress' Train the Trainer session at ALA mid-winter, January 2010.
The Cataloging Management Team watched RDA Changes from AACR2 for Texts by Barbara Tillett (webcast), followed by the LC Train the Trainer recorded webcasts as a group.
The RDA Training Team, who are all members of the Cataloging Management Team, further assembled other available resources, then learned and muddled through as a group, developing and training content while simultaneously learning the material for ourselves.
What resources did NCSU use when creating RDA training?
Following is a list of the resources we referred to most often while developing training:
- Resource Description & Access: Background/Overview by Barbara Tillett (webcast)
- RDA Changes from AACR2 for Texts by Barbara Tillett (webcast)
- This is an overview of changes in RDA for textual materials. The Cataloging Management team watched this prior to beginning the Train the Trainer webcasts. Additionally, we had all Metadata & Cataloging staff watch this webcast in small groups the week before our scheduled RDA Training.
- Changes from AACR2 to RDA: A Comparison of Examples by Adam Schiff (PDF)
- This resource is full of examples. We included the PowerPoint printouts in the RDA Training binder provided to all Metadata & Cataloging staff.
- Introduction to RDA by Robert Maxwell (PDF)
- RDA in Depth: Differences Between RDA and AACR2 by Robert Maxwell (PDF)
- Some of the examples used in our RDA Training were borrowed from this presentation.
- Introducing RDA: A Guide to the Basics by Chris Oliver (print book)
- This book was quite helpful in pulling together RDA concepts. This is not a practical, how to create an RDA record guide, but instead, a well organized, readable introduction to RDA.
- RDA Toolkit
- Specifially, the RDA text itself and the MARC Bibliograhphic to RDA Mapping (RDA Toolkit > Tools (tab) > RDA Mappings)
- In putting together our Powerpoints, we did our best to properly attribute all slides we used from other work. If you believe we missed any attributions, please email Christee Pascale and we will be happy to correct.
How was the NCSU RDA training developed? What was covered?
From the beginning, we envisioned training in three parts:
- Introduction to FRBR/FRAD
- Formal RDA Training
- Breakout Groups
FRBR/FRAD Introduction
We delivered our Introductory FRBR/FRAD training outside of the formal RDA Training. Ideally, we would have liked to deliver it the week before RDA training. Realistically, we ended up presenting it the day before our RDA training began. The hour long session covered:
- Group 1 entities: item, manifestation, expression and work
- Group 2 entitles: person, corporate bodies
- Group 3 entitles (in general)
- FRBR and FRAD users tasks
We very deliberately tailored the content to focus on the concepts we felt needed to carry over into RDA training and then attempted to make those concepts more concrete. We developed this presentation after creating our formal RDA Training content.
The NCSU FRBR/FRAD Introduction session, "FRBR and Entity Relationships" is available as a PowerPoint on the NCSU RDA Test page.
Formal RDA Training Content
The Training Team used the LC Train the Trainer webcasts as our jumping off point. First, we defined our audience: an NCSU cataloger who needs to complete training able to directly apply learned knowledge to the creation of MARC21 RDA bibliographic records.
Having defined our audience, we decided that our local training would need to differ from the LC training in two ways:
- More intentionally teaching RDA in terms of MARC21 and AACR2
- Soften the presentation of RDA in its FRBR/FRAD-based conceptual framework.
Next, we began identifying topical areas. Our goal was to deliever 2-3 half-days of training total. While we kept this in mind when determining topical content, we did not let time dictate what was or was not covered. Ultimately, we delievered approximately 12 hours of training over a 3 day period.
Creating the content while simultaneously learning the content was our greatest struggle. Each member of the Training Team was assigned 1-2 topics per week. The assignment was to review the existing presentations/documentation available on that topic, consult RDA toolkit, and adapt content into slides for our local use. Each member was challenged to learn the topical area while creating content and produce slides. The Training Team then met as a group to discuss the topical area, then review and edit the slides.
Once the bulk of the topical content was created, we organized the topical areas into a training outline. During this process, we identified missing content, which was then created (though not always vetted by the Training Team as a group).
In the end, our training materials borrow heavily from the LC Train the Trainer sessions, as well as creating some original content.
The formal training schedule and the accompanying PowerPoint presentations for each day are available on the NCSU RDA Test page .
Breakout Groups
We wanted to give staff the chance to apply the formal training, interact with RDA Toolkit and create practice MARC 21 bibliographic records in a relaxed, group setting. The Breakout Groups split our staff of 20 into small groups where they practiced creating MARC21 RDA bibliographic records for identified formats. Identified formats are the resources we think we'll catalog using RDA during the US Test, and include:
- Single part monograph (print and electronic)
- Multipart monograph (print and electronic)
- Upgraded monographic copy (from AACR2 to RDA)
- Children's resources
- Streaming media
- Thesis
- Serials (print and electronic)
- Integrating resources (print and electronic)
We selected examples that would expemplify the differences between AACR2, different ISBD conventions and RDA. All of the examples we chose are already cataloged according to AACR2. We then created electronic surrogates of the resources (PDF files that contained photocopies of relevent data, e.g. title page, title page verso, etc.). This was done specifically to give our cataloger's practice in working with electronic surrogates in preparation for the US RDA Test Common Set.
We used the following format for the Breakout Group sessions:
- Session #1, Group record: the MARC21 RDA bibliographic record cataloging for an identified resource type above was covered in-depth during a breakout sesssion
- Individual assignment: each cataloger was asked to create a MARC21 RDA bibliographic record over the course of 1 week
- Session #2, Group discussion: the breakout group reconvenes to discuss the individual assignment
We adapted the LC Checklist: Creating LC Practice Records for the RDA Test into NCSU Workflows to guide our cataloger's through the process of creating a MARC21 RDA bibliographic record.
Lastly, we also adapted the LC Workforms for RDA Practice Bibliographic Records . Our cataloger's used these workforms to complete their individual assignments and create their practice MARC21 RDA bibliographic records.
The electronic surrogates, practice MARC21 RDA bibliographic records, local workflows and workforms are available on the NCSU RDA Test page.

TRACK & FIELD CENTRAL: SEC Championships
May 8, 2013
May 9-12 | All Day
Walton Stadium | Columbia, Mo.
- The University of Tennessee track & field program will travel to Columbia, Mo., this week as the 2013 SEC Outdoor Championships are set to take place at Walton Stadium this Thursday through Sunday, featuring the finest collegiate competition in the sport.
- Multi-event action will open the competition on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET, with the men's hammer throw to follow at 3 p.m. ET. Tennessee will not have any competitors in the heptathlon or decathlon.
- The women's hammer throw at 3 p.m. ET will mark the start of day two for the Vols and Lady Vols, while both Saturday's and Sunday's events commence at 2 p.m. ET.
- The Vols have won a league-leading 25 SEC Outdoor Championships, including most recently in 2007, while the Lady Vols have captured four. Arkansas has won two men's titles in a row, while LSU is looking for its fourth-straight crown.
- Live coverage of the meet will air on ESPN3.com on Saturday and Sunday. That coverage will air from 4:40-7:45 p.m. ET Saturday and from 3:50-7:45 p.m. ET Sunday.
- Action on Thursday and Friday, and outside of the ESPN3 windows on Saturday and Sunday will air live for free at MUTigers.com.
- Live results are available via Branch Sports Technology and can be found right here.
- Also be sure to follow the Tennessee track & field team on twitter at @Vol_Track for in-meet updates.
- Twelve SEC men's and women's teams are ranked in the nation's top 25, including nine in the top 10, according to the USTFCCCA.
- The SEC boasts four teams in the top 10 on the men's side, including the nation's top-two teams in defending NCAA Champion Florida (No. 1) and Texas A&M (No. 2). The SEC leads the nation with seven men's teams in the top 25.
- On the women's side, the SEC features five teams in the top 10 nationally. Texas A&M is the highest-ranked SEC team at No. 2, while Florida is No. 3 and LSU is No. 4.
- The Vols enter the competition in search of their league-leading 26th SEC Outdoor title. The Vols won 12 of the first 14 championships, and last captured the crown in 2007 in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
- The Lady Vols won the opening four championships from 1981-1984, but have not captured the outdoor title since.
- The highest point total to ever win the SEC Outdoor Championships is 223, set by the Lady Vols in 1983.
- The last SEC Outdoor top-three team finishes by Tennessee came in 2008 (third) for the Vols and in 2009 (third) for the Lady Vols.
- Currently, six Vols and one relay team currently have marks ranked in the top 50 in the nation. Five Lady Vols appear in the top 50, with Felicia Brown and Kia Jackson appearing twice.
- Historically, the Vols have dominated the pole vault competition at the SEC Outdoor Championships. Not only do they hold 17 titles, including five in the past seven seasons, but Big Orange legend Lawrence Johnson remains the meet record holder from a mark (19-0.25/5.80) he set in 1994.
- The current Vol vaulter trio of Jake Blankenship, Chase Brannon and Tyler Porter will be looking to build off a great regular season and continue the legacy at the meet this week. Currently, all three rank in the top 10 in the league.
- Vol sophomore Matthew Hoty leads the SEC in the shot put entering the meet, but will have to contend with two-time defending champion Stephen Saenz of Auburn. The Vols have won four titles in the event all-time, with the last coming in 1983.
- The Lady Vols have owned the 800-meter race in recent SEC history, capturing three of the last four titles. Overall, UT has 11 wins in the event. This season, Nijgia Snapp and Kianna Ruff will look to knock off defending champion Charlene Lipsey of LSU.
- Former Lady Vol Annie Alexander won a combined six SEC Outdoor shot put and discus titles, including the past two in both events. Freshman Cassie Wertman owns the sixth-best shot put mark in the SEC, while junior Aslynn Halvorson is eighth in the discus entering the meet.
- Brown, a freshman sprinter, hopes to land the Lady Vols first 200m SEC title since 1984 this week. Brown currently sits fourth in the league with a time of 23.04 and a win would make her just the fifth Lady Vol champ in the event.
- Tennessee's women placed fifth with 97 points at this meet a year ago. They were 11 points out of fourth and 14.5 out of a top-three finish. It equaled the result at the 2011 meet.
- The UT men, meanwhile, finished 10th in 2012, tallying 30 points in Baton Rouge, La.
- The Lady Vols have won two NCAA Indoor team titles in 2005 and 2009, both coming under J.J. Clark, while the Vols claimed the 2002 team title.
- The Lady Vols have won four NCAA Indoor titles in the distance medley relay, coming in 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2010, all under Clark. The 2009 unit set world, American and NCAA meet records at 10:50.98.
- The UT women have seven top-10 NCAA Indoor finishes in Clark's previous 10 seasons, including titles in 2005 and 2009, a runner-up effort in 2010 and a third-place result in 2007.
- Clark, a three-time SEC Indoor Women's Coach of the Year, also piloted the Lady Vols to SEC Indoor titles in 2005, 2007 and 2009.
- In 10 full seasons leading the Lady Vols and three with the Vols, Clark's athletes have won 60 SEC titles (Women 31 in/27 Out; Men: 1 in/1 Out).
- Tennessee has now had 295 combined indoor and outdoor All-Americans in program history. Under Clark, the Lady Vols and Vols have combined for 202 All-America certificates.
- The next scheduled event will take the Vol and Lady Vol qualifiers to the NCAA East Preliminaries in Greensboro, N.C., from May 23-25. The top 48 competitors and 12 relays teams in the East Region qualify for the event.
- Qualifiers will then participate in the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships at legendary Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene, Ore.

Blackguards - Review Roundup
I have a new batch of reviews for the recently released Blackguards.
This is a pen and paper/table top game that is not afraid to kill you if you are not careful. It has its moments of brilliance, and those really overpower the frustrations if you allow yourself to be patient. Hardcore RPG fans and pen and paper purists will get their fill with Blackguards both in combat and story. Just be prepared to do a lot of planning and possibly losing in order to succeed.
Canadian Online - 75/100
It was rather fun to play a turn-based tactical RPG in this style, but I wish it had just a bit more life to it and not feel so stiff. Don't get me wrong – it is still very enjoyable, I just wish it had a bit more to it. If you're a fan of games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Tactics, and similar games, I would say that Blackguards is definitely worth checking out!
I wish that Blackguards' character progression system wasn't such a mess, because if it worked, I'd be delighted to recommend the entire low-fantasy role-playing package without hesitation. But character development is such an important and defining part of any RPG that this cluttered and confusing system has a big impact on what is otherwise an excellent tactical game with well-designed battlefields.
Capsule Computers - 7.5/10
Blackguards is a solid game for RPG fans looking to check out a new system. The Dark Eye is one of the most popular systems in Europe and hopefully Blackguards will bring some attention from players around the world. Although the game provides a strong audio/visual experience and a good, but tame, story, there are some problems with the combat system that may scare off non-hardcore RPG fans. There is a ton of content for $39.99, with more than 40 hours of adventuring. It's a shame that Blackguards needs some tweaking before it's ready to break into the mainstream; however, Daedalic Entertainment has made a great step towards that goal with the game.
Games Radar - 3.5/5
Blackguard had a lot of promise--The Dark Eye provides an interesting setting and a compelling set of tactical mechanics for a turn-based strategy game. And if you're looking at just the combat, Blackguards works--it's just a shame that everything is so unpolished. You'll find incomplete translations; an awkward, imprecise control scheme; and frame rate issues, all of which keep Blackguards from realizing its potential.
Leviathyn - 6/10
Daedalic Entertainment's new tactical RPG is filled with great ideas and mechanics that are never used quite right. Blackguards has fun characters, great battlefield design and open-ended character building, and with a little more attention given to its pacing, it could be a fantastic game. As is, Blackguards will please fans of both RPGs and turn-based strategy games looking for something a bit more straightforward, but only if they are willing to come to the game with a great deal of patience.

Graduate Program
Asian Studies and Law (M.A./J.D. degree)
The concurrent M.A./J.D. degree program in Asian Studies and Law is designed to provide academic and professional training to students who intend to pursue careers, such as law practice in or with Asian countries; policy and planning analysis or legal advising for business, government, or nonprofit organizations related to Asia; or research regarding Asian law, governments, or business. Students admitted to the program are able to earn the J.D. and M.A. degrees in four years.
Degree Requirements
- Students are required to complete a minimum of 105 semester units. 85 of the 105 units must be taken in the J.D. program and 20 units in the M.A. program.
- For the 20 unit M.A. degree requirement, 10 of the 20 units must be taken at the graduate level. The remaining units may be at the upper-division level. Up to 10 units taken for the M.A. degree can be counted towards the 85 units. A minimum of three years of course work in an Asian language relevant to the student's regional specialization or evidence of equivalent preparation is also a requirement for completion.
- Students usually complete their first year of study at the Boalt School of Law. The first year of the J.D. degree must be taken as a block of two back-to-back semesters of full-time study.
- The remaining units, a combination of Law, Asian Studies and related courses must be completed in the second, third and fourth year of study.
- During the third and/or fourth year of the concurrent degree program, students will work on a thesis supervised by both Asian Studies and Law faculty advisors. It will count for three units towards each program's requirements.
- Applicants must satisfy the admissions requirements for both degrees. For a list of requirements and directions on how to apply for the M.A. degree, refer to the M.A. Admissions page on this website. For admissions information about the J.D. degree, refer to the School of Law
- Applicants must apply separately to both the M.A. and J.D. programs. When submitting the Graduate Admissions application, indicate the concurrent degree when asked for the degree goal. You will also have to apply separately to the School of Law. Follow the link listed above.
- Both programs separately review the applications according to their own admissions criteria. For the first year, admitted students gain admission to the School of Law only. The student is responsible for petitioning to add the second degree (M.A.) their second year at UCB.

For any head, you start as close to the center of the head as possible on one side then go as straight across as possible for the next bolt. Then you can go either forward or to the back for the third, usually on the same side as the last bolt tightened (#2). Work in a circular pattern -- something like this:
9 5 1 4 8
10 6 2 3 7 11
Number of bolts doesn't matter. It's like this on all engines -- fours, sixes, straight eights. You wouldn't want to start with #2 then go over to #3 in the above example though. If you started with #2, the next bolt would be #1, then #3, #5, #4, #7, #6, #8, #11, #9, and finally #10. It's best to use 2-3 increments as suggested. If the torque is 70 or less I generally use two steps -- set it in the middle for the first round, then all the way for the second round using the same sequence both times. For 80-100 I go with three steps. Start with 40, split the difference from 40 to final, the final.
Clicker wrneches are nice -- as long as they are properly calibrated. NEVER store one "loaded" -- always set to zero before storing. Otherwise the springs have tension on them for a long time and can take a "set", which throws off accuracy.
The old beam style wrenches are actually more accurate. You can bend the pointer to zero to "reset" it, or just subtract/add whatever the pointer is on from/to the desired torque. The only thing you can mess up is not watching the needle as you tighten. If you're off a couple ft/lbs it won't matter.
NEVER use your torque wrench to break bolts loose! That's hard on it, and can throw it out of calibration.
Clicker and dial type wrenches need to be calibrated every couple years or so. If you only occasionally need one, buy a cheap clicker every time you start an engine project. The cheap ones don't hold up well over time, but are generally good for a year or two before getting out enough to need recalibrating. If you paid $30-$40 for the thing, it will cost that much (or more) to get it recalibrated. So just toss the old one and get a new one! That's just fine for the hobbyist who may build an engine every 2 years or more. The wrench should last for installing brackets, new head gaskets, etc. between builds. If you build more than one engine a year, you're probably better off to get a nice torque wrench and have it calibrated per the manufacturers suggestion. Expect to pay $80+ for one though, then another $25-$50 for clibration. Of course beam types don't have to be calibrated, are pretty cheap, and last a long time if taken care of. Unless you bend a beam wrench or the scale, it should last almost indefinitely. So don't bang it around! I always thought the beam types looked cheap and a bit hokey, until I bought a couple clickers and paid to get one recalibrated...

I'm so excited to tell you about my adventures with Arthur today but if you find my weather discussions a little too "dear diary" please proceed to the forecast at the end!
Headed to the Downeast coast today headed to Lubec via Route 1. The time was early but the storm was worth it. I was able to make it to West Quoddy Headlight with the help of a good Samaritan with a saw. The waves were powerful and the wind was strong. Saw plenty of tree and power lines down on the way out and back, even had to navigate around a few. I have tweeted lots of pictures today (@MeteoroloJess) and will add some to my Facebook page too (facebook.com/MeteorologistJessicaConley).
I loved seeing the impressive weather and also was loving being among my fellow Mainers. We're a tough bunch, aren't we? I stopped at the McDonalds in Machais and got to mingle with some other residents who were out braving the storm. Winds gusted as high as 71 mph on Seal Island in Machais today and many residents of our state (about 19,000 at the peak time) were without power. Rainfall totals were an impressive 3"+ for the 24 hour period in many spots too.
Arthur is continuing to move to the north and east and will take the rain with it. Winds could still be quite gusty at time overnight and it'll even stay a bit breezy for the day tomorrow. Skies will clear out tonight and temps will be able to drop to cooler levels. Overnight lows will fall into the upper 40s and low to mid 50s.
By tomorrow we'll see a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid to upper 70s and low 80s. Should be a pretty great day, especially compared to what we saw today. It'll stay a bit breezy during the day too. Monday looks like another fairly warm one with highs ranging from the mid 70s to the mid 80s with a mostly sunny start. Clouds will move in though as the first of a few disturbances this week moves in. We'll see some showers late Monday into the day on Tuesday.
Partly to mostly cloudy skies are expected for Tuesday with a few scattered showers possible during the day. Wednesday we'll see another low move in that will bring some showers and thunderstorms early. Thursday, a few showers are again possible early, with skies clearing out later in the day.
Tonight: Temps in the upper 40s and low to mid 50s with clearing skies.
Sunday: Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s with a mix of sun and clouds.
Monday: Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s with sun early and showers moving in during the evening.
Tuesday: Highs in the low to mid 80s with partly to mostly cloudy skies and a few showers possible.
Wednesday: Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s with some showers or thunderstorms early.
Thursday: Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s with a few isolated showers possible early and partly sunny skies later.

Farmhouse Kitchen on a Budget – The Reveal
February 4, 2013 By 251 Comments

According to a recent report on NPR, two New York-area pizza places are duking it out for the title "oldest pizza place." Papa's Tomato Pies of Trenton, NJ is arguing that, because Lombardi's (long considered to be the oldest) was closed for a decade, that voids their claim. The article made me wonder about other such heated restau-rivalries. After doing some research, I've uncovered three that I think are worth sharing:
In the lively bar district of Rock Island, Illinois, two bratwurst carts each claim to be the original. Tom Shepard, owner/operator of Dawgs2Go, tried to end the argument by pointing out that his competitor - Chris Melvins, proprietor of Best Wursts - closes his stand nightly. Since his stand remained open at all times, Shepard argued, there was no question that he should be officially be crowned the "longest continuously open mobile bratwurst establishment" in the Quad Cities. Melvins countered by pointing out that, while Dawgs2Go did technically remain "open" 24 hours per day, Shepard set aside certain times of day as "no dawg zones" and often operated his cart in remote locations, such as inside his locked garage.
In Reading, Pennslyvania, a rivalry between the two oldest frozen yogurt shops in town took an odd turn when a health inspector uncovered what he called "an unidentified, partially-built machine" in the basement of Daisy's Dairy. Daisy Galls claimed it to be "just a silly project" but an unnamed source leaked to the media that the device was, in fact, a failed time machine, with which Galls had planned to erase all traces of its crosstown enemy, Micky Moo's, from history.
In Alma, Michigan, the dispute between the town's two longest-standing vegan donut shops continues to escalate, each constantly claiming an earlier open date than the other. As it currently stands, Rounders has released a statement in which the proprietor, Richie Albins, says he has reason to believe that "the single-celled organisms" that evolved into his ancestors made "the single-celled organism equivalent of vegan donuts." Yolinda Hynes, of GlazeHaze, responded with hard evidence - namely what appears to be a simple pinkish rock that she believes a series of scientific tests will reveal to be a petrified GlazeHaze raspberry frosted donut made in prehistoric times.

Super late on this lol since I wrote this I did stop silicones & sulfates. The only thing in my staples that isn't all natural is my conditioner. I didn't stop silicone b.cthey're bad, my hair is cool with them. Its the sulfate to wash them out. I figured out my hair hates shampoo, even sulfate free. The ONLY shampoo I use is from a local all natural line called Mary's Mariposa (google it, its awesome) its the only tthing thay cleans my scalp & doesn't dry our ny hair at all. I'm gonna start using her conditioner to so everything in my regimen will be natural, and it really has helped my hair. I only use SMCES, Mary's Mariposa Raw Body Butter (the bomb! Better than any I've ever used [with vitamin A, C, E, silica, collagen, & pure essential oils] & it smells amazing), Aloe vera juice, oils (i.e. olive, coconut), & Mary's Mariposa Shampoo & conditioner. My hair is really happy now. Way happier.

In summation: The Remington Recall Sucks!
1). You send in a rifle that costs between $400 - $500. In return, they send you a coupon worth between $200 - $250, that is only good IF you buy another Remington rifle?
2). You send them ammo that costs about $15 box (if you can find it), and they send you a coupon for $10 that can only be used IF you buy more Remington ammo?
And here's the kicker. Remington designed a 17 HMR rifle that "have proven to be incompatible with 17 HMR ammunition". Which begs the question: What is their 17 HMR rifle compatible with - spit balls?
If Remington is not capable of designing a rifle to fire the ammunition it is chambered for, they should make it right. A coupon for half of what you paid for the rifle that is only good if you purchase more Remington products is not fair or reasonable.

Thailand's Amaret Sila On
As Thais try to rebuild their shattered economy, Amaret Sila-on is helping to lead the way. The 65-year-old former Commerce Minister has a hand in just about every key reform effort. He chairs the agency in charge of cleaning up the financial sector. He is the new chairman of the Stock Exchange of Thailand. He sits on a panel investigating the central bank's role in last July's baht collapse. And he serves on other committees to reform the country's schools and bureaucracy.
Amaret wins respect because of his tough skin. Last year, he resigned as director of the financial cleanup because of political interference. He returned when new Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai promised him a free hand. Now, he is resisting calls to prosecute central bankers for their role in the baht fiasco. "If they committed criminal acts, we have 10 years to go after them," he says. "We don't have 10 years to restructure the financial system. We have to get on with that job first."

Miss Sloane. Film Review. B+
Filed under: Drama, Miss Sloane. Film Review. B+
Jessica Chastain is the lead and driving character in this intense, suspenseful drama about lobbyists and the fight for restraints on gun access and ownership legislation in Washington.
The director is John Madden, lately of the "Debt "and "The Second Best Marigold Hotel." The cinematograpy is by Sebastian Blenkov and the screenplay is by Jonathan Perera.
This is a tight fast paced film shot in noir color about a beautiful, no holds barred lobbyist played by, Chastain. We wonder what drives her, greed, power, challenge or something else?
She makes a career changing decision when she refuses an assignment by her corrupt firm head, George DuPont (Sam Waterson) to raise female support in support of the gun lobby because they need and everyone else needs unfettered access to guns for self-protection and protection of others against the deranged and criminal elements in society.
Chastain sees this as the same mantra that has put guns in the hands of the mentally disturbed and criminals in the first place. As a result she is canned by her firm. Could this mean she is a lobbyist with values transcending money or power?
This change is probably a good thing, personally, for her as she is a person driven to win at any cost and she has resorted to benzodiazepines to maintain her equilibrium. She also has no social or romantic life and has hired an escort named Forde (Jake Lacy) for sexual satisfaction.
At loose ends after being fired she accepts an offer by Rodolfo Vittorio Schmidt (Mark Strong) head of the firm hired to shepherd legislation for modest gun control through Congress. The offer comes with no renumeration. Does this mean she is values driven?
When she left her prior firm she took most of her support staff with her to the Schmidt firm except her closest assistant Jane Molloy (Alisson Pill) who decided to stay with the old firm for ostensibly career reasons.
|The battle is on and the Schmidt firm is ethical and cautious but Chastain runs her assignment in the same ruthless way she operated at
her old firm. She sets up her new assistant Esme Manucharian (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a gun attack survivor, as an unsuspecting example
during a televised debate with the point man for the opposition Pat Connors (Mark Stuhlbarg).
This outing crushes Esme emotionally and leads to further consequences.
The opposition seeing she is acquiring the necessary votes to enact the fought over legislation decides to destroy her personally by forcing
a Senate investigation into her past unethical practices and her hiring of escorts. The Senate hearing is led by Senator Ron Sperling (John
Lithgow) who once was a supporter of the legislation but has been forced by the gun lobby to take a position against the legislation and
conduct a Senate hearing into unethical practices by Chastain in order to destroy her credibility.
However the 40ish Sloane's philosophy is "It's about making sure you surprise them and they don't surprise you."
There is never a dull moment in the film about a beautiful, intelligent, ruthless woman making her way in the world at great expense to her personal life and health. In the end we see what drives her and it is not conventional power, money or values.
The dialogue is crisp and smart and the acting, especially Chastain's, is superior as well as the directing and cinematography.
With all that said and while this film is a good and compelling story the chances of one person, no matter how talented, of defeating
the gun lobby is remote.
Obama, Biden, Reid and Pelosi, powerful people, endeavored mightily to pass restricting legislation and failed.
Not even the tragedies at Sandy Hook and elsewhere seemed to make a difference.
However This film and others will make a difference in the long run as they make the public aware of the intransigence and the absurdity
of the gun lobbies positions. Just one more nail in the coffin.

Retailers are bracing for a scrappy cheap-chic fashion fight this fall.
Discount giant Wal-Mart Canada Corp. is stepping up its focus on styles of the season at lower price points in a bid to court younger customers and raise the profile of its key George line.
At the same time, U.S. archrival Target Corp., which stumbled in its Canadian launch last year, is intent on repositioning its sweet spot of affordable trendy fashions. Canadian grocer Loblaw Cos. Ltd. is looking to expand its cheap-chic Joe Fresh styles beyond North America in its bid to woo price-conscious fashionistas.
But the low-cost players are grappling with an increasingly crowded market as foreign specialty chains such as H&M of Sweden and U.S.-based Forever 21 add more stores, stealing business in the low-growth apparel market.
"Everyone is a competitor these days," said Linda Fittler, vice-president of apparel at Wal-Mart Canada, as she showed off a sample of a $12 pair of George herringbone jeggings (a cross between jeans and leggings). "Everyone is competing for that opening [lowest] price to get the traffic in the store."
Affordable fashion purveyors are betting on their hottest styles to nab customers from rivals in the critical back-to-school season, the second-largest selling period after Christmas. But with deep-pocketed Wal-Mart concentrating on shoring up its apparel sales – its fall merchandise hits shelves as early as this month – other merchants are forced to find efficiencies to gain ground with bargain-hungry shoppers.
Retailers feel pressure to pump up their fashion business as the category can generate profit margins that are more than twice those of groceries. But like food, fashion can go stale quickly, pushing retailers to clear out unpopular merchandise at markdowns.
"It's just going to get more difficult," said Randy Harris, president of researcher Trendex in Toledo, Ohio. "What they're going to have to do is pedal a lot faster to stay where they're at and not fall behind."
He expects minimal, if any, overall sales growth in 2014 in the estimated $23.6-billion Canadian clothing market. Last year, those sales rose just 0.5 per cent while unit volumes dropped 3.7 per cent, according to researcher NPD Group.
And while Wal-Mart says it's the country's top apparel and footwear retailer, Joe Fresh is the dominant private-label brand while Wal-Mart's George ranks second, said Svetlana Uduslivaia, senior research analyst at researcher Euromonitor International in Chicago.
To shore up their positions, the retailers are learning from past missteps, focusing on fewer hot fashions or adapting items to colder weather. They're adjusting prices – sometimes downward or offering fewer of them – introducing younger-looking or trendier styles and vowing to replenish shelves more often.
"This fall we should be the destination for fashion and style," John Butcher, the new senior vice-president of merchandising at Target Canada, said in an interview.
Target has learned lessons from its first year in Canada, when the bottom line suffered as a result of having to clear out goods at heavy discounts. In its fourth-quarter, its margins were a measly 4.4 per cent, compared with 27.6 per cent at its U.S. stores.
In response, the chain's stores plan to carry more parkas rather than the wool coats it stocked last winter, which are a mainstay in its U.S. home market but didn't resonate as much here, Mr. Butcher said.
It will add "functional" winter boots after finding that many of its fashion boots weren't practical for cold and slushy Canadian winters, he said.
"We read every Twitter post, every feedback we get on Facebook."
Wal-Mart has adjusted its offerings by cutting the number of styles it carries by about 40 per cent since 2010, Ms. Fittler said in an interview. It's betting on fewer styles but stocking more sizes in each one, she said. "In the past we might have tried so many different trends that it wasn't clear what we were going after," she said. "It was a little confusing."
The retailers also are rejigging their pricing. At Target, shoppers complained its prices were too high compared with those in its U.S. stores. Mr. Butcher said Target will lower some apparel prices, although he insisted many of its prices already are on par with those in the U.S. "We've slowly moved more of our pricing to U.S. pricing."
Wal-Mart, for its part, is trimming the number of prices it offers, and putting items with the same price on the same rack – with more of a gap between each price – to help each one stand out more, Ms. Fittler said. "It's a drawing feature."
The companies are racing to get products to stores faster. Target has pledged to fix its distribution problems, which sometimes have left shelves empty. The chain will add "hundreds" of new fashion items to its racks this fall, including a collaboration with luxury designer Joseph Altuzarra and about 50 per cent more Liz Lange maternity clothes from a year earlier, Mr. Butcher said.
Wal-Mart started introducing this year its own version of "fast fashion," shipping items to stores as often as every six to eight weeks for up to 20 per cent of its goods, compared with its regular three- to six-month replenishment, Ms. Fittler said.
Its George women's line also began catering to a 29-plus demographic from 35-plus in 2010, she said.

Oh, the Things I Know! A Guide to Success, or, Failing That, Happiness
by Al Franken
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Silly, light and entertaining satire on celebrity advice and self-help books.
Fun light hearted book poking fun at 'self help' and 'inspiration' books. Entertaining/humorous for what it was, but not much more than that. Never been super big on Franken but the book is passable enough to enjoy.
In Oh, the Things I Know!"Al Franken, PhD (Hon.) offers a mock - serious guide to life that is laugh- out – loud funny. The tone is unpretentious and facetious, and the humor self- effacing (for "Dr" Franken never takes himself too seriously) – and the advice is actually pretty good too! Franken's title is itself a parody of the Dr. Seuss' book Oh, the Places You'll Go! Like the latter work, this book would be very suitable as a gift to students graduating from high school or college.
The book contains 29 chapters, arranged chronologically to guide the reader from cradle to grave. Early chapters are entitled "Oh, the Mistakes You'll Keep Repeating!," "Oh, the Advice You Should Ignore!" and "Oh, Are You Going to Hate Your First Job!" Later ones include "Oh, the Weight that You'll Gain!," "Oh, the Books You'll Read!," "Oh, the Bad Investments You'll Make!," and "Oh, the People You'll Sue" and then to the final (and mercifully kind one) "Oh, the Nursing Home You'll Wind Up In!" Although each chapter is only 3-5 pages, each is followed by a humorous summary that may or may not relate to its chapter.
Oh, the advice that he gives! Drawing on the experience of his own marriage, Franken offers a secret for smoothing over the inevitable rough patches in a relationship: "It's very simple but effective. We don't go to bed angry. We stay up and fight!" For raising children: "While it may be ok to lie to your spouse from time to time, it is emphatically not ok to lie to your kids about anything but your past drug use." Along the way, Franken ranks the world's religions in order of quality, suggests places to hide from armed, disgruntled employees, presents a list of international telephone calling codes, and takes a few jabs at his favorite pretentious gasbag, the pompous political commentator Rush Limbaugh.
While presented as a book of gentle humor, Oh, the Things I Know! is suffused with humanity, warmth and affection, and a certain amount of practical wisdom. This is surely one of the most unusual books ever written by a US Senator; it certainly is among the funniest. The US political scene is the richer for Al Franken's presence.
Franken addresses a number of topics in three-to-five-page humorous essays. I'm afraid I just didn't find this to be nearly as funny as a lot of other humor books I've read.
A short, sweet and succinct mock-serious guide to life. This book is divided into chapters averaging about a page so it made for a quick read. The best thing was Franken's left-leaning, dry, friendly humor. One example - his chapters had a short summary at the end, funny because they were already quite short. Franken offers advice on a variety of subjects, although he mentions that sometimes he's deliberately lying. A good suggestion - if you have a boss who likes to insult you, just pretend not to get it and make them explain the insult, tends to take all the fun out of it.

The Lightning are seemingly trying their best to become the laughing stock of the NHL taking the crown away from the New York "lets promote our backup goalie to General Manager" Islanders. Just 16 games into the season the Lightning have fired head coach Barry Melrose. This comes just a couple days after Melrose skipped out on practice and rumours of part owner Len Barrie stepping into the dressing room to draw up power play tactics earlier in the season.
It is becoming apparent that the Lightning's new ownerships management style is better known as a revolving door. Matt Carle was acquired from the Sharks in the off season and has been traded. Barry Melrose was hired in the off season and has been fired. Rumours are off season free agent Radim Vrbata is on the trading block.
And maybe the icing on the laughing stock cake are the rumours that the current ownership group may be having a cash flow problem and may not be able to make payments to previous owner Bill Davidson and if they can't Bill Davidson may once again take control of the team again. I have no idea if this is true or not but from revolving players to revolving coaches, why not revolving owners. Maybe then Jay Feaster and John Tortorella can be brought back. At least Tortorella was mildly entertaining with his vocal criticisms of his players, particularly goalies.

I had my primary rhinoplasty done 6 days ago and today I had my cast removed and it looked great!!
I strongly recommend my Dr in New York. He is honest, straightforward and extremely experienced. He only specializes in rhinoplasty and has been recognized the best plastic surgery Doctor for 7 years in a row.
I had minimal bruising and very little swelling, had very mild pain that was managed by 2 tylenols every 5 hours for the 1st 3 days. I have swelling and some tenderness at the tip of my nose after 6 days but overall he gave me the nose that I was hoping to get (natural looking, slimmer and smaller tip)

It seems only fitting that at the end of 2011, a year of such tremendous political change around the world, we should all be fixated with intense curiosity on the machinations of a leadership transition in North Korea.
There are many reasons for the events that unfolded into the Arab Spring, but at the root is a failure in leadership. While the Arab Spring did not result in similar uprisings in Asia, the events were followed with tremendous interest throughout the region.
After another year of noise and smoke in 2011, temperatures on the issue of South China Sea have cooled down considerably, writes Fudan University's Shen Dingli.
The U.S. presidential campaign heated up in 2011, as Americans ready themselves to vote in November 2012. While the current fiscal environment demands candidates focus on domestic economic challenges and solutions, in our interdependent world, foreign policy has to take a top spot on the list of presidential priorities. Unfortunately, election season is rife with fire and brimstone foreign policy rhetoric, attempting to engage voters at the detriment of diplomacy.
This post is part of a series of year-end posts on Asia Blog written by Asia Society experts and Associate Fellows looking back on noteworthy events in 2011. You can read the entire series here.
Exactly 100 years ago, on December 12, 1911, the British empire firmly established its new capital in Delhi with full pageantry and began the grand project of building a new city that would appropriately project its global standing.

It is crucial not to overlook things that happen elsewhere that change the state of play within Chinese political life, writes Jeffrey Wasserstrom.
As Pakistan struggles with its democratic transition, Asia Society Senior Advisor Hassan Abbas writes in Foreign Affairs that Obama can help Pakistan help itself by taking a less unilateral approach and focusing instead on strengthening Pakistan's civilian government and investing in civil society.

Ratings for Dr. Neil C. Goodman
I have had many procedures by Dr. Goodman over the past seven years. He is an excellent physician and his resultsare always fabfabulous. I would follow him anywhere.
I have had many procedures performed by Dr Goodman over a period of 6 years and am very pleased with all the results inlcuding follow up. To the person below who wrote below I am confused by what you have to say....the reason they have consultations is when they show you pictures specfic to your situation. How could you rate him if you have never been there for a consultation. If you had you would know this. I think Dr Goodman and his staff have done a wonderful job on myself as many others I know. Highly Recommend
I had done a lot of research before deciding to do the smart lipo technique. When I did my consult with Dr Goodman it was apparent he knew what he was doing and loved what he was doing. I am so pleased with my results and would reccomend him 100%. I look and feel great and it's only 2 days post procedure. I'm very happy with the decision to go with Dr Goodman and the decision to do the smart lipo. I had one day of down time and I am back to work 2 days later. Great Doctor!
I have had positive experiences at Radiance Medspa of Westchester particularly with Candice. I have had regular facials and photofacials with her for the past two years. She has always been extremely pleasant to work with and has put me at ease with her knowledge, skills and her attention to my particular needs.
Dr.Goodman and his staff are amazing! I've had smart lipo done and couldn't be happier with the results!!! It got rid of the fat, I couldn't get rid off with exercise cuz of genetic predisposition. Recently I also had laser hair removal done on my legs and bikini area and let me tell you- total godsend! I have naturally black hair and lot of it :) I had to shave every other day which was pain in the butt!! And I always ended up with razor burns. I was told that the medspa also offered laser hair removal. I got to meet Nicole who specializes in laser treatment and she explained to me the entire process. I was skeptical but I would've tried anything at that point. Well, now I finished my 6th treatment and I'm pretty much hairless. I shave once a month now :) The tiny bit of hair that's left here and there is very fine and not prickly at all. I'd recommend this to anyone who was as helpless and irritated as I was! And thank you, Nicole!! <3
Dr. Neil C. Goodman is an excellent surgeon. Ive had liposuction with fat transfer to my buttocks. I found in interviewing other surgeons before my procedure, that Dr. Goodman was the most reasonable price and quality. I have spectacular results 4mos post-op and will definitely see again for any other aesthetic concerns. He is a true md and promotes your overall health not just what plastic surgery can change. He goes over your concerns and needs thoroughly and has plenty of photos of his own work to show you during your free consultation. Very happy with his work!
Dr. Goodman performed SmartLipo on me exactly 4 weeks ago today. He did my lower back, flanks, abdomen and a Brazilian butt lift. From my first consultation appointment to today's second follow-up appointment, Dr. Goodman has been great. I am a medical professional myself and am very satisfied with Dr. Goodman's knowledge and bedside manner. He told me what I should expect and he was true to his word. The procedure was not painful and the recovery was as he said it would be. His staff have always been courteous and professional. To date, I have lost 10.5 inches in total and will lose more, as I am still swollen. He does good work and I have referred several people to him and will continue to do so.
I personally had 3 lipo procedures with Dr Goodman.I had my arms and back done, my abdomen waist and lower backand my hips done. I am so happy with the results I can now wear my short sleevedshirts and my pants dont have that muffin top fat protruding over them which drove me crazy.I have had Botox and Juviderm injections with him. He takes his time and reallylooks at the persons face. He listens to what you want and then gives suggestionsas to what he thinks you need according to the shape of your face. He truly is an artist when it comes to sculpting the body and face. He has a warm friendly demeanor about him while still maintaining his professional approach to your needs. He is honest and will tell you if you do not need a procedure I wanted a procedure done and he told me not to waste my money, that impressed me. If you want a Dr that will truly meet your needs I recommend him highly.
I have never given an online review for a doctor but I feel this is an honest review and must be said. The $1,600 I spent on Dr. Neil Goodman's services in July 2012 was a total waste of money. Not only did my lips swell up for 4 weeks, but I also had face bruising and swelling for 7 weeks. I had to take time off from work because I was embarrassed by the work this doctor performed and ultimately lost money in pay. Since then, I have found another cosmetic doctor in White Plains who is meeting my requirements and is deserving of me being a patient of hers. It also has to be said that I'm 100% positive I am not the only patient of Dr. Goodman's that has not returned to his office.

Bunk Bed Shelf
It seems unfair that the sleeper on the top bunk gets cheated out of a nightstand. After all, where will she put her nighttime water or Harry Potter book? Enter the Bunkpal Bed Shelf. It attaches to the side of most beds and can hold up to 40 pounds (so she can pretty much stack up all of the Harry Potter books).

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - The Northern Arizona volleyball team hopes to extend its three-match win streak this week with road matches at Montana State and Montana before returning home to wrap up the first half of conference play next week. The Lumberjacks bring a ton of momentum with them to the state of Montana after sweeping three matches at home last week as they have begun conference play with a 5-1 record, their best start to the conference season since the Lumberjacks started 6-1 in 1998.
Junior Sydney Kemper earned Big Sky Player of the Week honors after a stellar week. She averaged 3.44 kills, 3.00 digs and 1.11 blocks per set while hitting .474 in the team's three sweeps. Junior Taylor Stephens was also exceptional as she averaged 2.11 kills and 1.78 blocks per set while hitting a blistering .533. As a team the Lumberjacks had four players average at least two kills per set during the week. They hit .250 in their three matches and limited their three opponents to a .054 clip.
Series History: The Lumberjacks swept both of the season series against Montana and Montana State last year. In fact, the Lumberjacks have won the past 13 meetings against Montana State and have not lost to the Bobcats since Oct. 26, 2006. Last year, NAU won in four sets at home and fought to a five-set victory in Bozeman, Mont. before sweeping the Bobcats in the Big Sky quarterfinals. NAU leads the all-time series 33-22.
The Lumberjacks earned their first season series sweep of Montana since 2003 with their two wins over the Grizzlies last year. NAU did not drop a set in either of the matches last year and set a school record for fewest points allowed (39) in its sweep of Montana at home. The win in Missoula, Mont. last year snapped a four-match losing streak for the Lumberjacks on the Grizzlies' home court. UM leads the all-time series 32-25.
Coach Ken Murphy Quote for the Week: "What I like most about our team is our resiliency. We've had as much adversity as any team I've ever coached but this team just keeps finding ways to win. Sometimes our offense is stronger on some nights and sometimes our defense is stronger but we're finding ways to be successful. We're focused on being the best team we can be and the great thing is that the girls talk about the being the best they can be as well."
About Montana State (3-14, 1-5 BSC): Montana State is 3-14 overall and 1-5 in the conference but is coming off its first Big Sky victory of the season. The Bobcats swept Weber State on the road last Saturday, a win which snapped a six-match losing skid. In the victory, Montana State hit a season-best .287 and recorded a season-high 10 blocks.
The Bobcats are led by a pair of freshmen - Kennadie Clute and Loni Kreun, who both rank among the top-five in the Big Sky in kills. Clute averages a conference-best 4.09 kills per set and is the only player in the conference with a kill average better than 4.00. Meanwhile, Kreun is fifth at 3.12 kills per set. A third freshman - Anna Sykora - has the keys to the offense and is third in the conference with 10.31 assists per set.
About Montana (6-9, 3-3 BSC): Montana enters the weekend one of three teams in the middle of the conference with an even 3-3 Big Sky mark following a split last week. The Grizzlies took down Weber State in four sets, but later was swept by Idaho State which snapped their two-match win streak. This weekend will only be Montana's second homestand of the season and its first since the opening weekend of conference play.
The Grizzlies are the strongest at the net in the conference, averaging a Big Sky leading 2.63 blocks per set. Montana has two of the top-five blockers in the conference led by senior Brooke Bray, who sits in third with 1.29 per set. Junior Natalie Jones is right behind in fifth at 1.16 blocks per set. The duo are also both in the top-10 in the conference in hitting percentage with Bray's team-best .288 percentage. Senior Kayla Reno is seventh in the Big Sky with 3.04 kills per set.
Block Party: After recording double-digit team blocks just once in their first nine matches, the Lumberjacks did so in each of their first two conference matches. NAU totaled a season-best 17.0 blocks in its win over Idaho State on Sept. 19, its highest single-match total since - ironically - Idaho State last visited Flagstaff on Oct. 20, 2012. The Lumberjacks then followed that up with 12.0 blocks against Weber State on Sept. 21 as they saw their block average jump from 2.07 entering the weekend to 2.42 at the end of it. NAU continued its strong play at the net as it posted 11.0 blocks at Sacramento State on Sept. 27 to extend its double-digit block streak to three matches.
Stephens has been instrumental in NAU's block surge as she is currently averaging 1.62 blocks per set in conference play. Kemper and sophomore Payton Bock are also averaging at least 1.00 blocks per set as the Lumberjacks have recorded 27.0 more blocks than their opponents through six Big Sky matches.
