Fifty-two acres of Carey Run Sanctuary were acquired December 1, 1962. An additional 110 acres were purchased in 1973, giving a total of 162 acres. The property is essentially the valley of two small streams, Carey Run and Hefner Run. Consequently, it has relatively rugged topography. It is representative of a farm found in this area in the early 1890's. Most of the original 52 acres and some of the additional acreage are fields. Some are mowed to be maintained as fields, while others have been planted in trees and shrubs to attract wildlife. In 1966 a 1/3-acre pond was constructed. There is a stand of mature Hemlocks, and mature and cut-over deciduous forests. The elevation is 2400-2600 feet, imparting a northern influence on the biota.
About 150 species of birds have been recorded at this sanctuary. You can find all them on the species list. In the mid-1980's, breeding birds included Ruffed Grouse, Wild Turkey, Black-capped Chickadee, Veery, Golden-winged Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, and Vesper Sparrow.
There are many unique or uncommon plants in this area of the state. Starflower, Great Rhododendron, Canada Lily, Hellebore, Gay Wings, trilliums, and many mushrooms and other fungi are found in forests of Sugar Maple, Sweet Birch and Hemlock.
Animals besides birds are also common. Salamanders, including Red Efts, can be found in the moist forests. Weasels, beavers, and bears have been sighted in addition to the usual mammals of the area.
The old farmhouse was built in 1887 from white pines growing on the property. It contains a basement, living room, kitchen with dining area, front and back porches, three bedrooms upstairs, a shower room and two large powder rooms. Bunk beds are available for sleeping. The grounds include a tool shed and a spring house. There is no telephone.
The sanctuary is closed during the winter months from the second weekend in October to the last weekend in April.
The article Know Your Sanctuaries - Carey Run, by Dale B. Fuller and Myra C. Taylor in the December, 1971 issue of Maryland Birdlife. provides more historical information and a rich account of the early years at Carey Run.
Braddock's Road Trail – A new and very remarkable self-guided trail now wends its way along the eastern border of the property. It follows a portion of the "Braddock Road", used by British General Edward Braddock when he marched on the French during the French and Indian War. Nearly a mile long, the trail was planned and constructed over a two-year period by T.C. Hager as an Eagle Scout project, and its completion coincided with the 250th anniversary of Braddock's march. Thirty-one interpretative signs provide information on the history of the trail and on the local flora and fauna. You can view a photo gallery of the trail by following this link.

I've been ending showers with 2 minutes of the shower on COLD only. Pretty zesty, I gotta say, and I make sure to get the cold all over. Really get a "gasp" and shiver reflex going. I've especially enjoyed adding the cold rinse after a fasted state intense workout.
Can't imagine this is bad for me at all, but don't really know that there are true fitness/health benefits to it. Anyone got any input or experience with this? Perhaps with primal eating, exercise, sleep, healthy natural fat intake and Vitamin D (sun and supplements), and a touch of cold shock will ward off the N1H1 Flu virus for me! HAH!

Five-time Grammy award winner Wynonna Judd and one of today's hottest country performers, Cowboy Troy, have teamed up as co-hosts this season, and last night the unlikely pair were joined by another country duo � chart-busting stars Big & Rich � who opened the show with a special live performance of their single "Comin' to Your City" and later filled in as guest judges.
Also joining the search for the next country superstar were our official Nashville Star judges, award-winning singer-songwriter Phil Vassar and music industry veteran Anastasia Brown, who'll be handing down advice, and some tough criticism, all season long.
And, of course, let's not forget the 10 Nashville Star finalists, who took the stage for the first time last night hoping to win over the judges and wow the audience. But while all the finalists might have been full of talent, charisma and passion, they wouldn't all be moving on to next week: by the end of last night's premiere, one contestant would be eliminated and one other would face the toughest critics of all: you, the viewing audience.
First to perform was "loud and proud" Texan Casey Rivers, who sang a "song about the heartland" that not only suited his country roots and voice, but scored big with the judges.
Next up was former Miss Albuquerque Melanie Torres, whose voice and stage presence � not to mention beauty queen looks � were a hit with the judges. The Spanish-speaking stunner impressed even seasoned pros Big &Rich.
Nicole Jamrose was next to perform. The "sexy mama" with a killer voice was quick to make fans out of the judges, but her biggest (or littlest) fans were in the audience: her two children cheered her on wearing "Vote For My Mommy" t-shirts!
Next to face the judges was charmer Chris Young, who showed off some serious skills on-stage and off: a clip revealed that country-boy Chris has a surprising talent � break-dancing!
Former military man Jared Ashley has spent years touring frat parties, and the experience has given him some perspective. When asked how the live Nashville Star audience differed from his usual crowd of rowdy college students, Jared, who received mix reviews from the judges, said, "I don't think anyone's thrown up yet."
Monique LeCompte was next to take the stage. The judges were all in agreement about Monique's powerful voice, and though they had some reservations about her stage presence, Wynonna was quick to support the Nashville Star hopeful. "I'll tour with you," she told a star-struck Monique.
A barefoot Shy Blakeman (who explains that he opts against footwear because, for him, the stage is "holy ground") was next up. The judges were impressed with his enthusiasm and stage presence, though they urged him to continue trying to prove himself in coming weeks.
Bubbly blonde Kristen McNamara showed her support for the troops by taking the stage with a yellow ribbon around her wrist. She received mixed reviews for her performance, though the judges chalked it up partially to poor song choice.
Matt Mason, the final man to perform, left a lasting impression. The judges sang his praises, and they weren't the only ones. "He's so mysterious, dark and handsome," gushed a smitten Wynonna, after an impromptu duet with the soft-spoken singer.
Last to perform was Jewels Hanson, whose high-octane performance didn't exactly wow the judges. But the Nashville Star hopeful got a better reaction from a sympathetic Wynonna. When the Nashville Star host learned that Jewels had been forced to sell her Harley to pay for her trip to Nashville, she offered to take Jewels riding. "We could be like Thelma and Louise on wheels," she suggested.
With all the performances complete and the criticism delivered, it was time for a decision to be made. One finalist wouldn't make it past the night, and another would face elimination at the beginning of next week's episode.
The judges made their decision ... and sent Jewels Hanson packing. Looks like Jewels, who performed the Montgomery Gentry hit "Gone" may have chosen the wrong song!
The first finalist has been eliminated by the judges, and now another finalist's fate is in the hands of the voting public. Tune in next week for Redneck Revolution night, featuring a special performance by Gretchen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy as a guest judge, and find out which of the nine remaining finalists America will send home first.
And be sure to keep watching Nashville Star each Tuesday at 10/9C, because this season promises to be packed with great music, exciting performances and a behind-the-scenes look at the long and bumpy road to country superstardom.
Plus, we've got some of country music's biggest names joining the search for the next Nashville Star. So tune in each week to find out who keeps rockin' and who keeps walkin'!

FOX Sports Daybreak: Alex Marvez
Andy and Mike caught up with FOX Sports 1 Senior NFL Reporter, Alex Marvez this morning. Alex talked about the allegations that Emmanuel Sanders backed out on a contract agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs before signing with the Broncos.
Alex Marvez: "The Kansas City Chiefs don't have any other recourse, other than to just not deal with a client of Steve Weinberg's again.. There's gonna be no discipline because verbal agreements are not there. They're just not in stone... This is just part of the business. They set themselves up for it a bit by dealing with a guy like Steve Weinberg - this guy doesn't have the best reputation in the NFL... True Story for you: Steve Weinberg (is) the only Agent in 20 years of doing this, to call me back Collect... He would call you back Collect so he wouldn't pay for it."

text: Esoteric Tibetan Buddhist scriptures teach practitioners to visualize themselves as deities residing within a mandala. By doing so, they assert, the practitioner will eventually become the deity itself. But are sentient beings instrinsically pure, or does visualization practice make them pure? In this eleventh-century commentary, the renowned Nyingma (Ancient School) scholar Rongzom Chokyi Zangpo sets out his analysis of the nature of purity. This penetrating study, directed towards scholars and serious practitioners, contains Koppl's English-language translation of Rongzom's original text and her explication of his views. Koppl's incisive analysis offers a description of Rongzom's career and works and gives special attention to his critique of Madhyamaka philosophy. Some of Rongzom's approaches, Koppl shows, are unconventional even in a Nyingma context.

Swimming and Diving Celebrates Unprecedented Academic Success in Fall
Dec. 30, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Kentucky swimming and diving team recorded a record-setting fall semester in the classroom, as the Wildcats claimed 10 athletes with a 4.0 grade-point average, and an additional 30 student-athletes who posted a GPA of 3.0 or higher. In total, 41 student-athletes on the roster claimed a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
"I'm very proud of this team's performance in the classroom," UK head coach Gary Conelly said. "10 student-athletes with a 4.0 is a very special achievement, especially when you factor in the high number of freshmen."
Of the 10 members who earned a 4.0, seven of them were members of the prestigious freshman class.
For the first time in program history, both the men's and women's teams recorded GPAs that averaged over 3.0, with the men posting a mark of 3.03, and the women taking claim to a 3.34 average GPA.
"Our academic performance is a real testament to the quality of the individual's who make up our team." Conelly added.
Swimmer's and Diver's that achieved a 4.0 included Brent Dillon, Luke Iannuzzi, Sarah Chewning, Lindsay Hill, Lindsay Keahey, Blair Kuethe, Lindsay Lash, Abby Myers, Caroline Pitts, and Jenna Willis.
Included in the list of student-athletes on the team that achieved a 3.5-3.99 are Christa Cabot, Megan Eppler, Samantha Shaheen, Kristen Wilson, Samantha Wright, John Bullock, Matt Davis, John Fox, Blake Freeman, Jonathan Keltner, Zack Peterson, Chris Rush, Maclin Simpson, and Calder Staben
UK swimming and diving also placed 16 on the list of 3.0-3.49 which include Claire Archiblad, Cassie Brueckbauer, Anna Mattox, Marisa McGlynn, Taylor Melton, Kelcy Perry, Shannon Reynolds, Sherrill Thompson, Lee Duggins, Travis Green, William Heidler, Pat Kemme, Kyle Lang, Tyler Reed, Matt Russell, Derrick Smith and Jake Thomas.

average top 10 pick- 1% generational talent, 4% superstar, 25% first line, 30% second line, 15% 3rd line 15% 4th line 10% bust chance
1st round pick- 2% superstar, 15% first line, 25% second line 20%third line, 20% fourth line 18% bust chance
2nd round pick- 1% superstar, 10% first line, 20% second line 20%third line, 20% fourth line 29% bust chance
3rd round pick- .5% superstar, 5% first line, 15% second line 25%third line, 20% fourth line 34.5% bust chance
4th round pick- .1% superstar, 1% first line, 5% second line 20%third line, 30% fourth line 43.9% bust chance
5th round pick- 0% superstar, .5% first line, 1% second line 20%third line, 30% fourth line 48.5% bust chance
6th round pick- 0% superstar, .1% first line, .5% second line 10%third line, 20% fourth line 69.4% bust chance
7th round pick- 0% superstar, 0% first line, .1% second line 5%third line, 20% fourth line 74.9% bust chance
these are averages so occasionally you would find late round picks that have small 1st line potentials that end up being gems. also I think the potential would have to change if someone has a big season. so if a 4th round prospect scores 30 goals he would receive a bump in his 1st line and 2nd line chances and lower his bust chances. do you think this is any better than my previous proposal?
I would add a .001%-.01% chance of superstar for the later (5-7) rounds, but that's just me.

I am trying to implement Port redirection using netcat. I have 3 PCs:
"A" from which I run
"B" from which I runCode:nc -vv 192.168.1.2 -p 80
"C" from which I runCode:nc -lvvp 80 | nc -vv 192.168.1.3 -p 5555
The idea is to connect from A to C on the port 5555 (assuming A is behind firewall and only port 80 is opened)Code:nc -lvvp 5555
the flow works correctly, Text from A goes to C, however, text from C doesn't came back to A, but stuck in B.
I have searched and found that this can be solved by adding a second pipe to B as follows:
nc -lvvp 80 | nc -vv 192.168.1.3 -p 5555 | nc -lvv -b -p 80
however, my netcat doesnt contain -b option (on both BT2 & windows binary).
I have searched the forum and found a solutions using backpipe, but really I didn't understood it.
thanks in advance,Code:mknod backpipe p nc -l -p 80 0<backpipe | tee -a inflow | nc localhost 81 | tee -a outflow 1>backpipe

Preconceived Ideas
A story…
Every autumn I go to Bandon, Oregon to photograph Monoliths. I have very specific conditions that I prefer; clear skies with wispy clouds that allow me to use long exposures on the Monoliths.
Unfortunately this last October I had not called ahead and made this request with Zeus, the god of clouds, rain, thunder and lightning. What I encountered was fog and lots of it, and unfortunately there is nothing for me to shoot in the fog.
So I decided to go up the coast and check out Cannon Beach, I heard they had some great Monoliths and I was hoping that the weather would be better there. Unfortunately it was just as foggy and so I decided to give up and head home where I would rent some movies and veg out.
Because as long as the fog was obscuring my Monoliths, there was nothing for me to photograph there.
But something inside of me said: Wait a minute, there is always something great waiting to be discovered…in every light, in every weather and in every location. It may not fit into your preconceived ideas of what you want, but there is something here for those who can "see." And so I stayed.
Through the fog I faintly saw people walking towards me and it reminded me of spirits. A title immediately came to mind as I imagined the image: "They Walk Among Us." Using the fog, a long exposure and by over-exposing, I created this very high-key image…in the fog.
It reminded me that having preconceived ideas (knowing what I want) might sometimes be a strength, but at other times it may make me blind to unexpected opportunities.
Whenever I'm at a location and feeling that there's nothing for me to see, I'll ask myself this question: If I had a time machine and could transport all of the great masters of photography here, could they find a great shot?
Of course they could!
So what is the lesson for me? That sometimes I need to look beyond my preconceived ideas of what I want…and see what is being offered.

Computerworld's most recent Vital Signs survey found that 32 percent of respondents said that server spending represents the single biggest increase in their IT budgets for 2008. Server consolidations, virtualization projects and the rollout of Windows Server 2008 are among the factors driving spending on new servers. Cyclical spending issues are also a factor, according to Computerworld.
"After the dot-com crash, many organizations began keeping equipment for four, five or even seven years rather than the usual three," the article notes. "Many of those systems are now being retired." GM, MasterCard and Bank of New York/Mellon are among the organizations that talk about their server spending plans for next year.

Hart deal can't mask bigger problems
After a depressing three-game sweep in Houston and in the midst of a five-game losing streak, the Brewers created some positive news on Monday when they announced that rightfielder Corey Hart agreed to a three-year contract extension.
But, the bleak season continues.
A sweep in Houston pushed the Brewers' losing streak to five in a row and dropped their record to 48-58. That puts them on pace to finish with a 73-89 record, which would be their worst finish since 2004 (67-94).
This was not what anyone in the organization expected when the season began. And the ugliness could intensify.
Left-hander Randy Wolf, whose struggles on the mound this season have been a significant problem, left the game Sunday with a bruised left wrist. Wolf was cruising with a 2-0 lead against the Astros when he got smoked. Now, he could easily miss a start and might even end up on the disabled list, forcing the Brewers to scramble.
It's not unusual for a team in the Brewers' circumstance to sag a bit after the trading deadline. These are, after all, the "dog days" of the season. Teams that don't make moves -- even those with no hopes of competing -- often droop a bit as the reality a disappointing campaign (and two months to go) smacks them in the face.
The flip side of that is, come September, teams that seem to have nothing to play for often rise up and play well because they aren't weighed down by expectations.
The Brewers have to hope for the latter. The final two months of this season will test their professionalism and the thickness of their skin, because many of the fans who are still paying attention are angry about the way things have gone down this season.
The Brewers like to celebrate "retro" nights. They'll wear old uniforms and honor former players with bobblehead giveaways, etc. The idea of falling off the radar before the first cream puff is served at State Fair is not a tradition they want to continue.

A message from EMU's President for a Day, Daniel Mathis
Dear students, faculty and staff,
Good afternoon! My name is Dan Mathis, and I am a junior majoring in Social Sciences. Today, I had the opportunity to exchange places with President John Fallon. President Fallon attended my classes and my extracurricular activities, including my job in Academic Programming, lunch with members of my fraternity (TKE) and a housing staff meeting. On the other hand, I fulfilled the president's duties for the day. I attended a breakfast meeting where I met Congressman John Dingell, toured the Physical Plant, looked over the new Student Center, met with several University officials and wished the women's basketball team luck as they left to play in the MAC Tournament.
I would like to give special recognition to EMU's Physical Plant. When I toured the plant, I was amazed by their efficiency and teamwork. These are the people who keep the University functioning. Their work is often thankless when in reality the university could not function without them. Eastern's Physical Plant is recognized nationally and other universities come to EMU to learn from them because of how well they function.
Eastern Michigan University offers us numerous opportunities to enrich our lives and continue our development outside of the classroom. It is up to us to grab hold of our futures and do what makes us happy. EMU's future is in good hands with President Fallon and all of the faculty and staff who make this such a wonderful place to learn and develop.

This problem happens at an interesting time in history. First of all, if energy were like the rest of the free market, there would be competition and prices would be much lower at this point in time. Then the company who owned the Coal Ash Ponds would face the following: Go bankrupt, clean up the mess and keep rates low or lose customers to other power companies. All this assumes our rulers were more free market which they are not. Power companies have a monopoly. Try and buy your electricty some where else. The other side to this coin is that as soon as the socialist that run the federal government pass Cap and Trade, power rates will double if not more. This on top of whatever happens with Duke power will mean only those people of considerable means will stay warm in winter and cool in summer. But don't let that heat or lack of heat cause you fear, you are saving the planet, from it's natural changes. The real problem comes when the people tell the Bull Mooses of both parties they have had enough.
Duke should pay it all. I'm normally not this direct, but that's just how I feel. Sure, eventually they'll get the utilities commission to raise rates enough to pay back those billions…but, in the short run, it's absurd to ask the taxpayer to pay. I have read everything that opposes what I believe here and it hasn't fazed my belief in this. I don't care if the state inspectors didn't do their jobs on the coal ash ponds along the way. I don't care that there has been government corruption along the way. There was also Duke Power corruption along the way as well and even more than that……..right now, we-the-people just can't afford the raise in rates and Duke Power CAN afford to pay for the clean up. It's just that simple. Suck it up, Duke Power. Use some of those billions you've managed to make to do what's right here.
Next issue.

Our lab is dedicated to developing therapeutics for Huntington's disease. Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive symptoms which include motor impairments, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Huntington's disease is caused by expansion of the CAG repeat region in Exon 1 of the Huntingtin gene. While most people have approximately 20 CAG repeats, Huntington's disease patients have more than 35 repeats. Expansion of the CAG repeat region results in production of a mutant protein which is toxic to cells.
Projects in the lab are focused on:
We have active collaborations with a variety of researchers focused on delivery and optimization of methods for reducing Huntingtin in the brain.

Oh, here's what we're talking about at soceng today! It starts at 7pm in the main area, and goes on until the tuesday meeting starts. Feel free to come along.

Subject: social engineering agenda for today
To: firstname.lastname@example.com

Man, I suck at sending these out earlier. I need to engineer myself in some way.

Anyway, last time:
we discussed what worked and what didn't with the shop wall building session
we had a great whiteboard discussion of what an issues-tracking software might solve at Noisebridge

This week:
I'd like to zoom in on one of the whiteboard points, which is how to tie NB's online and offline communities better together
Also during the week, I talked to Zephyr a bit about stuff he's been hacking on, and we both agreed that it might be good for all these things to work together with an RESTian API, so Noisebridge's physical stuff could be better connected to the online world, and also people could hack on different approaches simultaneously.
 I thought we could end by speccing out an API for the door, and one of the signs.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Sequel in the Works!
It was a stellar opening weekend for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," as the film's big opening brought in a promising $65 million so far.
As such, Paramount Pictures is planning a sequel to hit theaters on June 3rd, 2016 with Michael Bay returning as producer along with Andrew Form and Brad Fuller.
Paramount honcho Adam Goodman explained, "Launching a new take on the Turtles into the feature film world was a daunting task because as fans of them ourselves, we felt a great responsibility to ensure audiences were going to experience everything they loved about the Turtles, while also getting to see them brought to life in a way they had never been seen before."
In addition to the $65 million in domestic sales, "Turtles" also brought in $28.7M internationally for a total take of $97.3 million!

Print LaCrosse Footwear make products for blue-collar folks and blue-collar folks only. Period. Whether you're a worker, farmer, hunter, firefighter, cop, fisherman or on a larger scale, anyone who identifies with the blue-collar values of honest, hard work, you'll find a huge amount of LaCrosse gear and LaCrosse Boots designed to make your life even better than it already is. You'll find our boots and performance clothing in mines, industrial settings, road projects, backcountry hunting camps and many more places where excuses don't cut it. People who know quality ask for LaCrosse Boots by name. It's a commitment LaCrosse made back in 1897 and a lifestyle they'll continue supporting. That's pretty obvious in the way LaCrosse Boots does business. Like you, their products are tough and their service is respectful, if not downright courteous. What's more, if their boots and clothes don't make the blue-collar lifestyle better, they don't waste time making 'em. That means you're not about to see LaCrosse Boots on the cover of some hip Hollywood magazine anytime soon. Just not the folks they aim to serve. They don't guess what their customer's need. LaCrosse lives it. LaCrosse Mining Boots are developed side-by-side with miners. Their scent-free bow hunting boots with experienced hunters. Their toughest leather work boots with the toughest work conditions in mind. See the pattern? You'll see they're conscious of your need for value, too, because LaCrosse products aren't full of a bunch of rigmarole you don't need. Instead, LaCrosse shoes and clothing offers more comfort and technology than you'd generally expect at that price. The way they see it, thinking this way is better, and that's what makes LaCrosse proud to be Blue Collar by Choice. It's the reason they choose specific kinds of leather. It's why a boot's lugs are deep, or shallow, or shaped just so. It's the reason a garment is made with a particular chemical-resistant fabric. Sure, there are easier ways to build products. But it's never been about easy. Respect is the consequence of LaCrosse's 100-plus-year commitment to quality. They promise never to take that respect for granted. Not now. Not ever.

After making its debut at MWC 2011 the Incredible S has been quite the traveler making trips to Europe, and even a couple stops in the US. While the physical features of this phone were only slightly changed the hardware has seen quite a boost of its predecessor. After making a stop at Bell the Incredible S finally made it to Verizon and came to be known by the name we knew was inevitable the HTC Droid Incredible 2.

While all these sales offered this phone at a highly competitive price none have come close to what's being offered at Wirefly now. If you swing by Wirefly today you can pick up a Droid Incredible 2 for a measly $2. If you've been looking for a capable Android device that's not going to kill your pocket-book this deal can't be passed up. Of course you'll have to upgrade or add a new line in order to qualify but who cares, it's only $2.

A year after backing Neko Case on her revelatory live album The Tigers Have Spoken, The Sadies have recorded their own career-defining live set, In Concert Volume One, featuring guest appearances by Case, Kelly Hogan, Garth Hudson, Gary Louris, Jon Spencer, Jon Langford, and members of Blue Rodeo and The Deadly Snakes. Recorded during two four-hour shows in Toronto earlier this year, In Concert contains songs by the band's guests—including a mini-set by The Good Brothers, the Canadian country family act that sired Sadies frontmen Dallas and Travis Good—and a good mix of The Sadies' twangy instrumentals and trippy roots-pop. From the cameos to the kaleidoscopic Americana, In Concert is an ambitious attempt to position The Sadies as a 21st-century version of The Band, making their own Last Waltz. And it just about works.
The only major knock against In Concert is that the sequencing doesn't always flow as fluidly as it should. Given the breadth of The Sadies' discography and the band's persistent fascination with history, there's no reason why it couldn't string these songs together to tell a little story, bridging the past and the present. But that's a minor complaint, especially given the way In Concert picks up steam as it goes, peaking on the second disc, when nearly everyone the Goods have ever worked with take the stage, knock out a killer track, then make way for someone else. Case duets with Hudson on The Band's classic "Evangeline," and Langford leads the whole crew in a romp through Mekons' rock 'n' roll homage "Memphis, Egypt." If nothing else, The Sadies can take pride in finally bringing The Band and Mekons together, with themselves standing tall in between.

If I Could Own Only One Alternative Energy Stock, It Would Be . . .
Bill Paul
My friend Consuelo Mack, host of "Consuelo Mack's Wealthtrack" on PBS TV, asks her guests for their "one investment pick." What's my one alternative energy stock pick?
A year ago on Consuelo's show, I recommended LED lighting developer Cree Inc. (Symbol CREE), because the LED lighting market (part of the burgeoning energy efficiency sector) is expected to hit upwards of $5 billion by 2013 v. $600 million in 2008, according to investment banking firm Merriman, Curhan, Ford, and because Cree was then an attractive takeover candidate. It still is; however, since the stock has since risen something like 300% and its price-to-earnings ratio is now north of 100, it no longer warrants being my "one" investment pick, though it's still well worth having in a broad portfolio of alternative energy stocks that I think every investor should have.
If I were inclined to pick a stock I think could duplicate Cree's performance in 2010, it would be Ocean Power Technologies Inc. (Symbol OPTT). In my mind, wave and tidal power is the most overlooked, underrated green energy sector in the world. Pike Research said last summer that by 2015 wave and tidal power could be generating 2.7 gigawatts of electricity worldwide vs. just 264 megawatts in 2009.
Ocean Power is virtually the only publicly-traded firm in this sub-sector. (Look for a number of European firms to go public over the next couple of years.) The company is on the cusp of commercial operation and has a partnership with Lockheed Martin (Symbol LMT) that would seem to guarantee deep-enough pockets to survive any growing pains. And, like Cree, I see Ocean Power as a takeover candidate.
But while Ocean Power is also well worth having in a broad-based portfolio, since it still faces possible regulatory and other issues, it's just not enough of a sure thing to be my "one" pick. The same situation is true for wind and solar stocks, though for different reasons. Wind has an enormous future and several wind firms belong in your green portfolio. But the giant turbine manufacturers and wind-farm developers are becoming commodity firms; there's no obvious top pick right now. Solar too has an enormous future, but the technology is developing too quickly for any solar firm to be a sure thing right now, not even much vaunted First Solar (Symbol FSLR), though it too belongs in your green portfolio.
For my one investment pick, I choose a company without which solar and wind's potential can't be realized. It's also a company without which the energy-saving, blackout-avoiding potential of the "smart" grid can't be realized. The same company is spearheading monumental construction projects that will bring into Europe huge amounts of solar power from North Africa and wind power from the North Sea. The same company is developing rapid recharge infrastructure for electric vehicles and is quickly becoming a leader in demand response and energy management services. This company also is a - if not the - global leader in building and rebuilding thousands of miles of electric transmission lines around the world, a business that will require annual expenditures of $33 billion by 2014 vs. $12 billion in 2008, according to NextGen Research.
In January 2010, my one alternative energy investment pick is Siemens AG (Symbol SI).

Relocating to Australia provides numerous job seekers with an opportunity to move to the land of Kangaroos.
- The world is shrinking at a rate never imagined before.
- Cultures are merging and people are interacting more actively than ever before.
- The advent of newer technologies and better lifestyles have seen populace shifts from well settled locations to hitherto unknown hinterlands in search of greener pastures.
Frankly it is quiet amusing, the way the human mind works. For a person who has been desperately searching for a satisfying remuneration suddenly starts scratching his head for a answer as to whether he should uproot himself/ herself and relocate to a place alien to him, or not.
Oh-so-warm Australians
The anxiety can be understood if one is required to relocate to an obscure country. However, the Oz is one place where everybody is welcomed with open arms and a mug of Australian beer. The apprehensions, if any, melt away the moment one touches Canberra or for that matter any of the metros. Happy go lucky people, beautiful atmosphere, amazing opportunities and a fun filled life welcomes you. The land of contrasts boasting of coral reefs, endless golden beaches, rich marine life, mountain ranges, tropical rainforests, and idyllic deserts beckons every visitor to its folds.
Australia is Cosmopolitan
Being the world's smallest continent does not deter Australia from being the sixth-largest country. Major cities such as Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Queensland, Perth, Sydney, New South Wales etc attract scores of people from across the globe for a dreamy life. These metros not only breed a cross cultural society but also provide a fertile ground for those willing to learn and implement the Australian way of life. Being ruled by British has left an imprint on the country but that's where the similarity ends (of course not to forget the left hand drive!). Australia has been a peace loving and fun filled country and it continues to be so, rubbing off the energy to any soul touching her.
Basics are taken care of!
Major concerns which plague a mover viz. schools for kid, proper housing facility, decent neighborhood and a stable job are generally taken care of within a short span of time. Thanks to the wonderful Australian Government welfare and guidance schemes, the visitors settle down much faster than the average settling down time. Knowledge of English language helps settling down faster and making friends who can be a catalyst to enhance the process. The language also helps in finding own way or while driving around the country. The Australian dollars and cents system is quite akin to the one known worldwide and is in fact, a step better with the advent of polymer (plastic) money which is not only clean and neat but also eco friendly.
Don't worry – Be Happy!
Once the movement to Australia is decided, it is better to surrender oneself to the charms of the country rather worry about the future. The wonderful Australian lifestyle, fantastic climate and abundance of opportunities will bind you to this country. The recovery from jet lag would be quick and a combination of local friends would assist the transition phase glide smoothly.

We wake in an alternative universe where Dani is the best chef and Hayden has totally lost his mellow.
A close up of his curls silhouetted at dawn leads to a flashback of his past life - or possibly just scenes from Baywatch - while Hayden compares the adrenaline of the MasterChef kitchen to the high he got chasing crooks on goat boats while watching Pamela Anderson run slow-mo on a beach.
Then Mat reveals that until recently he was "chained to a desk in my office", which sounds unwholesome. "I'd rather be working on a grill," he says, which comes as a surprise to his team mates from the pub food challenge.
Billy looks sombre as a funeral director as he confides his longing to serve pretty desserts.
Then back to Hayden, who has morphed into Brad Pitt in one of his dull, Oscar-baiting movies: "This is serious. One of us is going home."
Tonight's pressure test, Matt tells all three, has a split personality. One half precision cooking, the other half on an unhinged knife-wielding rampage. Like Dexter, but with the recipes.
Mat with one 't' looks well pleased. Was there a good reason his previous employers had him physically restrained?
George pulls out... what? A lump of branded playdough George is calling a salt crust.
Mat with one 't' is even happier. "Watch out Billy; watch out Hayden. I'm coming to kick your arse!" Whoah, dude, first precision cooking, then cage fight.
Things do not improve when George cuts open the crust to reveal what he calls a perfectly cooked guinea fowl, but others might regard as a blue mutant foetus simmering in mud. Mmmmm.
George lets them know the wishbone's been removed. "If that wishbone was in there, DISASTER."
He tells the three worst best top 10 amateur cooks in the country that if guinea fowl dries out "it's like chewing on wet cardboard", but not in a good way, apparently. He gets Mat to tell the others what it tastes like if it's done properly. Oh, "kinda like chicken" you say?
Thanks for the vivid word picture.
Mat's baked a salt crust before. Twice it's turned out perfectly, twice it's been what he carefully describes as "a tantrum type exercise". Which way will he swing tonight? He rattles his chains ominously.
It's time to upsell the dish, which that supermarket that pays them the big dollars will be lugging at the next commercial break. Hayden says the bird is beautiful. Gary says the jus is beautiful. And the two side dishes the boys must cook to complement the bird should be beautiful.
"I don't know how they're going to do it," says Dani as Hayden glares in her direction - maybe they broadcast the comments from the narration room in real time? That would make anyone a little stabby.
Hayden and Gary explain the challenge with a level of detail that suggests they want us to bake this mummified poultry dish at home.
Everyone bangs on about the wishbone: Gary, Mat, Kate and Hayden. He'd like to snap the wishbone and wish himself back at the surf, where people do not gather on balconies to shout life-saving instructions.
Back to Kate, who explains the challenge again for any goldfish watching the show. What's that about a wishbone, Kate? Sounds important.
"It's a bit of a relief to see Billy and Hayden struggling," says Mat, who is now being edited in post-production to play up any villainous soundbites, so it will be easier to... oh, but that would be spoiling things.
George and Gary are pleased with Mat's progress: he's wishboned and duxelled and truffled already. Bet there's an app for that.
Have you noticed that no matter how hot the kitchen, Hayden's curls never wilt?
We cut to Peter on the balcony looking spiffy in a green sports jacket and donnish glasses, like Austen Powers hosting University Challenge.
Dress like that every day, Peter! This show would be way more fun if it were also a costume party.
All three are worried about wrapping their bird. Hayden should have taken off his shirt to wrap it, which would have helped the ratings if not the roasting. His hands shake pitifully.
"If there's any sort of leaks, the whole point of doing it is pointless," says Mat, which is simultaneously inane and heavy with irony now we all know that any day now a leak - no, of this we must not speak.
There are cracks in all the facades. And not just of the salt crusts.
An existential hole drains all light and purpose from their lives. Why else would they be here?
"I don't want to rub salt into your wounds," bellows George, "but I am about to bellow one of my atrocious food-themed jokes".
In the last few minutes, everyone starts freaking out on schedule like the reality show pros they've become.
Hayden wilts alongside the spinach in the pan, Billy adds enough whipped cream to his gravy to turn it into a mousse, and Mat staggers around the room in agony after searing his hand on a hot pan. On MasterChef, third degree burns are something you deal with after you've finished cooking, plating, serving and explaining everything you did and thought.
For a few minutes, MasterChef looks more like Law and Order, as the judges examine each corpse - sorry, bird - and exchange glances.
Looks like fowl play.
It's judging time. They mock Hayden for his nerves, and he admits: "It's scary". Indeed. Especially as Mat was NOT chained to his desk.
George, however, says "I'm so excited, it's a knockout. Beautiful. But enough about Hayden's abs, what did you think, Matt?"
Mat's bird also impresses the judges.
"Those carrots did everything for me," says Gary, which is remarkable for a pile of root vegetables. Perhaps Gary has simple needs. Matt, however, remains the fussy judge. His leg is a bit dry, he says. Pour some of the gravy down your trousers, mate, and see if that helps.
Matt asks Billy what he'd do differently if he could turn back time.
"If I could find a way," says Billy, "I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay." He doesn't but you've got the tune in your heads now, yeah? You'll be humming it all day.
When Billy leaves, Matt makes a face like Lady Bracknell - who he was born to play - but eschews Wildean witticisms for a Runyonesque disgust: "Dat beetroot ain't good."
Gary weighs in to defend the guinea fowl. "He nailed it." I don't remember that in the recipe, do you? Sadly the sauce: "rubbish".
Time for the verdict.
"There are many reasons why you've made it into the top 10," Matt tells the three. Oooh yeah, say the viewers. 1. Making a beeline for the easiest jobs in team challenges. 2. Letting others volunteer for elimination. 3. Weeping about dead relatives. 4. Appearing topless.
Only Hayden, mind! It's not the "Big Brother Cooking Challenge". Yet.
Matt with two 't's tells Mat with one 't': "it's the first time I've seen you in the kitchen actually cooking". This is not a ringing endorsement of Top 10 talent.
Billy tries for nonchalance but Hayden's dropped all pretence that he's still having fun. "It's all just little experiences on the road," he says. Or did he mean The Road, that book where people fight each other for a dwindling food supply and sleep with one eye open? Yeah, it's like that, if there'd been a role for Heath Ledger as a noble foodie.
Mat reveals he has "all sorts of emotions running through his body" as his name is called. This could get ugly quickly but no, he's safe. NOT FOR LONG.
Now, as we knew right from the start, it's Hayden or Billy, or as Billy says "the golden boy versus the dessert queen". Would you see a movie of that title? Starring these two? Me too.
Yes, it's Billy. Sent packing for his disgusting salad. And possibly because the producers would go postal if Hayden were eliminated.
We finish with a flash forward to Wednesday when Matt with two 't's arrives at the MasterChef house late at night with some shocking news.

tabbed by: Saffron Moon ( http://www.youtube.com/peacelovesaffron )
*This song is really beautiful and simple to play on guitar.
I tabbed this song from the chords that I use to play this same
song on piano. Sounds pretty great on guitar to to me!*
Standard tuning!
Capo on the 4th fret!
VERSES: C, G, Am, F
Am, F (Your family's rad...)
C, G, Am, F (Wish that they...)
BRIDGE (I hope this makes you smile...)
[Em, Am] x3
Em, F, G
You've got your airplane
And I've got the plain air of here
You're gone and I've gone insane
Oh when will you reappear
I'm just some new kid
Who can't get his mind off of you
And I know that it's stupid
Cause you've got Hawaii
And I've gotten no letters from you
I should stop whining
Cause its only been a day or two...
I don't know what you did
But you got me to fall for you
I know its stupid
Your families rad and I
Wish that they were here today
But they're thousands and thousands of miles away
I felt so bad when your mom
Caught us eating ice cream in your
Room at three in the morning
'Cause id hate for her
To not want me around her daughter cause my heart stops everytime
You've got Polaroid
And you even know how to rhyme
Id be overjoyed
If we could just hang out sometime
I don't know what you did
But you got me to fall for you
And I know that its stupid
Your drawing's rad and I
Put in on my wall and I made
Sure it wouldn't fall cause if it did
My straw wrapper might tear
And there would be no knot and I would
Feel like id been shot right through the heart
And id fall apart but id remember how
My heart stops everytime
You are so special
I just hope that we can be friends
I'll wait forever
But I guess that it all depends
On you and yours
So come on and dance with me
Cause you are so special
I hope that this makes you smile
And you might stay that way for a while
Cause you deserve every grin that you get
And you'll get em a lot from me
Uh ho, uh ho
You are so special
I just hope that we can be friends
I'll wait forever
But I guess that it all depends
On you and yours
So come on and dance with me
Cause you are so special
And my heart stops every time

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Legendary theologian and orator Henry Ward Beecher once described the canine as "the god of frolic," and, doggone it, we can definitely agree with the 19th century holy man, particularly whenever our pups are romping around the 2 1/2 acre dog park located in the southernmost section of the Rose Mofford Sports Complex in North Phoenix. Once they get free of the leash, our hounds start acting like its Growls Gone Wild, cavorting around and getting some splendor in the grass in one of the two fenced-off areas (for either small or large dogs), showing off their high-pro glow, playing with some of the tennis balls and other doggy toys lying about, or lapping up water at the doggy drinking fountain. Meanwhile, we're kicking it on a bench or underneath one of the numerous shade trees, hanging with folks like 72-year-old Fred Corzilius, who visits the park six days a week with his energetic golden retriever/terrier mix Ginger.
"I live in an apartment and it's great to have a place she can run around at," says Corzilius. "The park is a god-send." We're sure Rev. Beecher would agree, Fred.
The City of Phoenix's ongoing renovation of Tovrea Castle, one of the Valley's premier oddball landmarks, has given us hope that Phoenix has finally learned to spell "p-r-e-s-e-r-v-a-t-i-o-n." The estate which looks like a royal wedding cake defended by a swarm of palace-guard saguaros was built by Italian entrepreneur Alessio Carraro and named after meat-packing magnate Edward Tovrea, who bought the baronial digs for his wife, Della, in 1931. The sentinel saguaros are part of the Castle's spectacular Carraro Cactus Garden, which was designed and planted by Alessio and his sons in 1928. Until recently, it was a secret garden, opened to the public only once, in 1984, for one lousy weekend. But the city introduced regular public tours in early '07, and guided walks through our arid little Eden which is packed to the gills with both common and exotic samples of high- and low-Sonoran Desert flora are now scheduled each January through May.
Why do kids (and the parents who pay for them) love Amazing Jake's Food and Fun, the indoor amusement extravaganza in Mesa?
Ask Anna, age 9: "They have brownies, which are so good. And chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream vanilla, chocolate and swirl. They have all different choices of desserts, too. Last time I went there, it was lemon meringue squares. I think they had oatmeal cookies. I didn't have any of those. I had the brownies and the chocolate chip cookies and the ice cream. And they're all really good. Some cookies are really hard and crunchy. I hate those kind. But these, like, they have crisp outsides, not crunchy, but just crisp and the inside is really soft and the chocolate chips are kind of melted, and the brownies are, like, so soft that if you tear it apart, some of it will stick together. They have an old-fashioned carousel, which you don't really see very often. They have a train ride where you can sit in the front and ring the bell. I like the Hopper because you go up up up up up and then down and up and down and up and down and as many of those as you want to. And such cool prizes. They have bicycles. It's all-you-can-eat and the pizza is delicious like, I am not a girl who likes the curly macaroni, but I have got to say I have never had this good of pasta. It's just right. It has the perfect sauce, it has olives, and they have vegetarian stuff like salads, corn, which my friend Rocky says is disgusting don't put that because she was trying to see if she could have all healthy and she took one bite and I don't know how you write this, but she went like this [makes a face like the guy from Munch's The Scream] after too many rides on the Hopper. The only way to explain Amazing Jake's is that it's amazing. No, that's an exclamation mark."
It only makes sense that things might get a little wild in Phoenix. After all, we're living in a land settled by outcasts, criminals, and whores. That restlessness still exists in the desert air and has certainly been huffed by Phoenix's very own Dirty Darlins of Debauchery, the first and only female pudding-wrestling league in Arizona. These hot mamas, clad in fishnets, tattoos, piercings, and rainbow-colored hair, love to fulfill many a man's fantasy by viciously body-slamming each other in a kiddy pool full of pudding. It gets pretty brutal they put on a show that has the kinkiness of Larry Flynt, the moves of WWE, and a marketing ploy for pudding that rivals Bill Cosby. The slippery sex kittens compete frequently at clubs around the Valley that don't mind being a little sticky. Careful with these gorgeous girls, however, because they are tough broads whom we wouldn't want to cross. Their MySpace quote says, "Fear our Snack Pack Skillz." And we certainly do.
It's not the biggest pool in town, and it's not even the flashiest (you won't find any fountains or water slides at this serene spot), but there are still three good reasons why the pool at Sanctuary on Camelback is our favorite place for a swim: location, location, location. Nestled amidst an oasis of lush palm trees and palo verdes that lazily wave in the breeze, it looks like a placid turquoise lagoon under the big, blue Arizona sky, with a sweet view of Camelback Mountain and the Praying Monk rock formation practically hovering over us. Sanctuary also claims its pool has the biggest infinity edge in the state we love to swim right up to it, listening to the soothing sound of water splashing over glossy mosaic tiles. After we've turned into prunes, the surrounding flagstone patio is the perfect place to chill on a sleek white lounge chair and sip a cold piña colada from a curvy lime-green cup (which happens to be the same exact shade as the beach towels here). People come from all over the country to stay at this stylish Paradise Valley enclave, but we're thrilled that we can go there anytime we want when we can scrounge up the cash, that is.
We hate to sound like a broken record, but once again, this year's honor for Best Spa must go to our all-time favorite, the Spa at Camelback Inn. As a friend recently waxed (heh heh, get it?), "You feel so close to the desert, it's like you can actually reach up and touch the cactus." And it's true snuggled in your thick white robe, stretched out on an impossibly comfortable chaise next to a clear blue swimming pool, beneath Mummy Mountain, you do feel as if you could reach up and grab a prickly handful.
Instead, head indoors for a Sonoran Rose facial, Native Hot Stone massage, Desert Rain loofah or Desert Nectar honey wrap. Or what the heck get all four. You only live once, and what better place to blow your spending money than this lovely spa, featuring a sauna, hot tub and private spaces for all-out sunbathing, if you know what we mean. Rent a cabana, take some exercise classes and grab a mani-pedi. We're relaxed just writing about it.

text: Is Clare Balding more fascinating than Benedict Cumberbatch? Tatler have crowned the Olympic presenter ahead of Pippa Middleton, Roman Abramovich, the Queen and Sherlock himself - but do you agree? Vote in our poll to decide... Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 2:46 PM, 29 January 2013 Clare Balding is officially Britain's most "fascinating person"... well, at least as far as the users of Tatler magazine's website are concerned. That's right, the presenter who dominated our screens during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic coverage has beaten the Royal family to become the most searched-for individual on the magazine's online 'Tatler List' of notable figures. In second place on the list was Pippa Middleton (the woman who left millions of male jaws hanging on the floor following her famous behind's appearance at 2011's royal wedding), followed by Russian billionaire (maybe that's what makes him fascinating) and owner of Chelsea Football Club, Roman Abramovich. But perhaps most surprising are the two figures Balding beat into fourth and fifth place - the Queen and Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch. We're pretty sure Cumberbatch's loyal army of fans will have a thing or two to say about Balding's "fascination-factor"... And what could interest the British public more than Her Maj's two-minute skydive alonside none other than James Bond himself? So following this informed and in-depth analysis of Tatler's results tally we want to know what you think: is Balding "more fascinating" to you than the likes of the Duchess of Cambridge's sister and mighty Cumberbatch? Does the Queen command your interest more than moneybags Abramovich? If you disagree with Tatler's list - or if you feel the need to affirm their "informed" decision - vote in our poll below... Who is the most fascinating person in Britain? Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

A beach warden raised the alarm when he saw what he believed to be a group of people in difficulty two miles off the Brean coast in Somerset.
A rescue hovercraft was sent out, but when the team arrived, it was apparent the "people" were in fact birds.
Alan Miller, chairman of the Burnham Area Rescue Boat (BARB), said the warden did the right thing.
"We'd much prefer to be called out for a false alarm rather than not be alerted and have to pull casualties out of the mud later," he said.
"We'd always recommend dialling 999 if you have any suspicion that people could be in trouble."

AS WE keep long hours in an effort to finish our work for the year, and enjoy a cool drink on warmer evenings, it is time to contemplate the effect that our lifestyles have on our driving.
In NSW, fatigue has passed alcohol as the second-most prevalent cause of death on our roads. Speeding remains the most common cause.
There is no doubt random breath testing has changed our behaviour around drinking and driving, and reduced the road toll phenomenally in the 30 years since its introduction. The total number of road fatalities in this state has dropped 70 per cent - from 1253 in 1982 to 376 last year.
It is an excellent result - especially given NSW's population has increased from 5 million to more than 7 million in that time - for which Roads and Maritime Services (formerly the RTA) and NSW police must take much credit. The RMS has produced excellent awareness campaigns, while our police officers stand roadside, rain, hail or shine, asking motorist after motorist to count to 10.
Operation Paciullo, which began yesterday, means that 1 million drivers will face the RBT monitor this summer. As the Roads Minister, Duncan Gay, admits: ''If it wasn't for the RBT a lot of my friends and perhaps even myself wouldn't be here today.''
Yet 376 people is still too many. And causing much concern is that figures for fatigue-related road deaths have not fallen in line with the reduction in speeding and alcohol-related deaths.
In the 12 months to October 2012, fatigue was the main factor in 61 road deaths. In the same period, alcohol consumption was reported in 46 deaths. Speeding (145 deaths) still kills most. Yet road deaths due to speeding (down 6 per cent) and alcohol (down 37 per cent) are headed in the right direction when compared to the 2009-2011 average, while fatigue remained steady, reports the Centre for Road Safety.
Clearly the messages around speeding and drink-driving are being heeded. It is likely, too, the message about not playing with mobile phones while driving will also be heeded now there are significant fines attached.
Fatigue caused 3329 fatal and non-fatal accidents in 2011. Studies have found driving with fewer than five hours sleep is just as damaging to one's capacity behind the wheel as consuming alcohol. Further, none of the researchers' study subjects stopped driving - in simulated conditions for a two-hour period - when they felt fatigued.
University of NSW researchers say driving fatigued is a conscious decision. Almost all of us consider very carefully what we have had to drink before driving. But how many of us truly consider how tired we are?
If we are to reduce our road toll further, quite besides slowing down, we must learn to make the same, very conscious decision when we are tired.
Interestingly, across 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the highest number of fatal crashes occur in the afternoon pre-peak period on Fridays. People are tired from a long, hard week at work; they're rushing to get children home.
Why are we so tired? Census data released this week shows one in four Australians works more than 49 hours a week. Our emails are now in our pockets, in our kitchens and in our lounge rooms. We're not switching off and resting as we used to do.
Calls by UNSW researchers for punitive damages for fatigued drivers are valid. Yet while there is a defined measure for alcohol - 0.05 for a fully licensed driver, which equates to roughly two standard drinks for an average-sized person in the first hour and one thereafter - what is a measure of sleep? Is 5½ hours enough to not be too tired to drive?
The researchers have also called for a renewed awareness campaign, suggesting ''Stop, Revive, Survive'' is too passive. That is a fair point: it addresses only the issue of becoming fatigued driving for long periods, rather than the issue of fatigue in the first instance.
''A bit drunk'' and ''a bit tired'' might seem like different states of being. But behind the wheel they are equally fatal.

Blanchette: Turns out, VIPs not the only BMOCs
Fri., Jan. 20, 2012
It was a galoshes kind of day and a sneakers-in- a-snowdrift kind of night at Gonzaga's McCarthey Athletic Center – not for basketball aesthetes, perhaps, but not to be thrown back, either.
In any event, the most interesting development relative to the Bulldogs' 74-63 victory over San Francisco occurred 700-odd miles to the south:
Loyola Marymount 82, Brigham Young 68.
The Cougars of BYU are the West Coast Conference's new kid in town, only considerably less hip and more threatening than Ren McCormack. Based on their pedigree, they were immediately ushered through the ropes to the VIP section with the 47-time defending champion Zags and their now perpetual nemeses, the Saint Mary's Gaels.
And that was thought to be that – three teams standing on everyone else's shoulders reaching for that NCAA tournament ring.
Until Thursday evening, when there a dissenting opinion with a little teeth was issued.
"Those other teams are plenty good enough to knock any of us off," Gonzaga coach Mark Few insisted the other day, "and when they do, it shouldn't be (considered) a bad loss."
It was interesting to pick up on the general disdain out there in Zagistan last week when the locals picked themselves up from an awful drubbing by Saint Mary's to eke out a riding-time win over Loyola. Apparently, the fact that the Lions have been feeding off the bottom ever since Bo Kimble shot a free throw left-handed has been interpreted to mean that they are incapable of surfacing, or being even the slightest bit menacing.
This is a notion that should go away, and now.
Along those same lines, that the Zags didn't turn a surprising 20-point lead over USF into one of those old 40-point laughers but instead had to grit their teeth a little even to bring it home in double digits may have been a failing, but probably an irrelevant one.
Other than a nice demonstration by newcomer Guy Landry Edi that he does indeed have some game-changing possibilities, it didn't seem as if any of the Bulldogs were really firing on this night.
And then a look at the game box shows that Elias Harris had 14 points and not a single turnover, and that struggling big man Robert Sacre took a step toward his old self with three dunks, and that point guard Kevin Pangos dealt with the many USF traps splendidly until a couple of late turnovers.
Fact is, the Zags played so well for an 11-minute span bridging the two halves that they kept it from being a fistfight – and didn't put themselves in the same position BYU did against Loyola.
And despite what was seen in the Saint Mary's debacle, there is still one thing that can separate Gonzaga from the other VIPs.
"They have high-major post play," insisted USF coach Rex Walters.
"Rob Sacre is one of my favorite guys – because of his size, strength and skill within 10 feet, and his ability to shoot free throws, I think he's a pro. I'm not smart enough to be an NBA guy, but I think at worst he could be a great third big because you know what you're going to get from him.
"And I think Harris has taken a step up in his game. And they didn't even play great tonight."
Sometimes you don't have to. But you'd better at least be ready to.
LMU and USF are teams every bit as veteran as the VIPs, teams that have had tastes of success – the Dons beating Gonzaga in San Francisco last year, for instance – and with an appetite for more.
"It's not just that they're better players now," said Gonzaga guard Mike Hart, "they're becoming better teams."
And they sense opportunity. Walters himself noted that "even the top three – nobody's been dominant on the road. It's kind of been survive and advance."
Nothing wrong with survival.
"You have to approach every game like it's the most important or biggest one," said Hart, "because one slip-up is going to affect your run toward the championship. That's why we were so upset with ourselves after Saint Mary's – we had an opportunity and we let it slide because weren't ready to play. You can't afford those kinds of games."
A lesson learned Thursday by the WCC's new kid in town.
