Bria Goss Named SEC Freshman of the Week
Jan. 23, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – After recording career highs in points and rebounds in a pair of wins over No. 15/14 Georgia and Florida, University of Kentucky women's basketball freshman guard Bria Goss has been named Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
Goss helped the Wildcats tie a school record by earning their fifth win over a top-25 ranked opponent this season, with a remarkable performance at No. 15/14 Georgia. Goss rallied in the second half against the Lady Bulldogs, scoring 17 of her team- and career-high 22 points in the decisive second stanza. Goss' play, which included a career-high tying three 3-pointers, helped push the Wildcats over the top en route to earning its first win in Stegeman Coliseum since 2008.
In a home game against Florida just three days later, Goss' shot wasn't falling. The Indianapolis native turned to her defense instead, taking a team-high three charges and grabbing a team- and career-high nine rebounds against the Gators.
With the game on the line with 22.8 seconds on the clock, Goss calmly stepped up to the line and buried both of her free-throw attempts to help preserve the Wildcats victory. Kentucky's 18-2 (7-0 SEC) start ties the best start in program history through 20 games.
For the week, Goss averaged a team-high 14.0 points per game and 6.0 rebounds. The weekly honor is Goss' third this season, a league-high among freshmen.
Goss' scoring average of 11.7 points per game leads all freshmen in the SEC and is on pace to be the sixth highest freshman scoring average in program history. Goss' 15 double-figure scoring games are the ninth most in UK freshman history, and her 25 made 3-pointers are the eighth most ever by a UK freshman.
UK Hoops will look to extend its program-record start to the conference season when it travels to Auburn Thursday to face the Tigers. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET.

The 2013 Chevrolet Trax
It will launch in Canada and Mexico by year end, and eventually find its way into some 140 markets. Among them, however, won't be the United States, since we're not getting access to Chevy's new compact crossover.
Officially, Chevy cites the strong market position of its mid-sized Equinox crossover as the reason why it won't sell the Trax here, but we suspect there's a bit more to it than that.
Buick is about to launch its own version, called the Encore, so selling the same thing (admittedly de-contented, and at a lower price) with a bow on the grille won't help Buick's sales. Buick desperately wants to attract younger buyers, and a compact crossover may help do just that.
It's also likely that the Trax couldn't be priced low enough to be competitive against the existing Equinox, so Chevrolet saw no sense in adding a model that wouldn't sell in quantity at the price required. Raising the Equinox's price to make the Trax more attractive would jeopardize Equinox sales, something Chevy isn't willing to risk.
If you really want a Trax, your options appear to be relocation to Canada, Mexico or one of the other 138 global markets the crossover will be sold in. We suspect it will be far less expensive to just buy a Buick Encore and call it done.

Ex-Steelers defensive coordinator LeBeau says 'goodbye' to Pittsburgh
On Tuesday morning, Dick LeBeau was given a key to the city. By Tuesday night, he had reportedly been given the keys to the Tennessee Titans defense.
LeBeau, the much admired Steelers defensive coordinator, who helped the team win Super Bowls in 2006 and 2009, found a new employer, according to a report in the Nashville Tennessean.
Hours after telling reporters at a Pittsburgh City Council ceremony that he had "talked to some people" about coaching again, LeBeau agreed to join Ken Whisenhunt's staff in Tennessee as assistant head coach/defense. LeBeau, 77, and Whisenhunt were Steelers coordinators on Bill Cowher's staff for Super Bowl XL.
"Whatever happens next we'll embrace it, and whatever the Lord's got in store for us we'll roll up our sleeves and go after it," LeBeau said at the ceremony.
LeBeau recently turned down a defensive coaching job with the Arizona Cardinals, saying he wished to remain close to his Cincinnati home.
City Council honored the Hall of Famer, who left the Steelers in a mutual parting last month, with a declaration of February as Dick LeBeau month.
LeBeau bid the city farewell with a paraphrased stanza from the "Night Before Christmas," a poem he traditionally recited from memory to players at Christmastime.
"A lot of times I just can't see the good part of goodbye, so I'm not going to say that," LeBeau said, surrounded by family and friends. "I'm going to paraphrase the last line of a poem that I've come to be associated with a little bit around this city... 'But I heard him, ere he drove out of sight, God bless you all people of Pittsburgh, and to all good night.'"
A standing ovation broke out in the packed room as LeBeau with tears in his eyes hugged Councilwoman Darlene Harris of Spring Hill, who presented him with a proclamation and a plaque bearing the honorary city key.
Speaking for the family, daughter, Laura LeBeau of Louisville, Ky., thanked Pittsburgh for extending "love and respect" to her father.
LeBeau has been a popular figure in Pittsburgh during two stints with the Steelers: coaching defensive backs from 1992-94 and as defensive coordinator starting in 2004.
He played 14 years as a defensive back for the Detroit Lions after being cut during training camp by the Cleveland Browns.
In 2010 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
LeBeau singled out the contributions of Steelers defensive players from the 2008 Super Bowl team, two of whom — defensive end Brett Keisel and linebacker James Harrison — attended the ceremony. He described each player, and at one point to the delight of the crowd mimicked legendary Steelers announcer Myron Cope commenting on Troy Polamalu's long hair.
Harrison claimed stage fright when asked to speak. Keisel described LeBeau as one of the NFL's greatest defensive innovators.
"I will forever be grateful for his influence in my life, and I love you to death coach," he said.
Speakers lauded LeBeau as a defensive innovator and man of integrity, honesty, compassion and love for people.
"He made everybody feel like you were the most important person in the world," said Bill Priatko of North Huntingdon, a friend who roomed with LeBeau during Browns training camp in 1959.

Post subject: First & Last Mock (1 Round)
Here is my first Mock draft of the year. It will be just 1 round.
Keeping mind I take both needs and BPA into account.
Also keep in mind if I didn't give your team their #1 need in round 1 it was probably because the value wasn't there but I would have it addressed in the next round or two.
Finally, I will no project any trades.
1. KC - Luke Joekel, OT, Texas A&M
Not much needs to be said, it is almost a foregone conclusion and it is the right choice here.
2. JAX - Ezekiel Andah, DE, BYU
It is no surprise to anyone that the Jags have suffered in the pash rush game for some years now. They have an opportunity with this pick to take the top defensive end in the draft. There is some debate to who that player is and I believe Ansah is slightly better fir for this defense than Jordan.
3. OAK - Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
Despite the Raiders struggles lately their defense has played pretty decently. Without any top WRs worthy of this pic in the draft they should stick with solidifying that defense. Milliner is a player who can have an immediate impact on the back end of it.
4. PHI - Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
With Milliner off the board Chip Kelly will look to sure up the OL. Although he is a speed first coach he knows the importance of opening holes for his RB's. I feel this is both a value and need pick for the Eagles.
5. DET - Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
I think Jordan is a bit overrated but the Lions need pass rush help and he is a special talent. Lions have had their issues on the defensive side of the ball for a long time and with Milliner off the board they need someone who can get to the QB so their under-performing secondary doesn't have to chase WRs for long periods of time.
6. CLE - Barkavious Mingo, OLB, LSU
Mingo is a high energy guy who can help improve a fairly strong defensive unit. This helps fill one of Cleveland's bigger needs.
7. ARI - Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
The Cardinals need some help on the OL and They should pick up the last of the top tier OTs in this draft. The could go Geno Smith but I think that would be a mistake. I am a believer that this is a weak daft for top end Q talent so they should stay the course and build a OL for their future franchise QB, whoever that may be.
8. BUF - Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Kevin Kolb is not the answer. The Bills need to bring in the first franchise QB since Jim Kelly. Smith does seem to have the tools to be effective and in the right system/tutelage could become a staple in that offense.
9. NYJ - Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
I know DT/DE is not a huge need for the Jets but at this point they go with the BPA. Floyd could be a top 5 selection and the Jets need to work on bringing in players who can have an impact, rather than reaching for players that are needs.
10. TEN - Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
This pick fills a need and beings in a very talented DL. This pick just makes the most sense at this point in the daft.
11. SD - Jonathan Cooper, OG, N.C.
The Chargers need some help up front after a disappointing 2012 campaign. At this point Cooper is the best available and in recent drafts it has proved true that picks an interior OL early can really help stabilize an entire OL unit.
12. MIA - Cordarelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Imaging the Dolphins surprise when they can choose any WR they want at #12. In this case I feel Patterson makes the most sense because of his height and ball skills. Of course they could go with Austin but I think Patterson provides a good fit to go along with their smaller, slot style WRs.
13. T.B. - Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
Even if they land Revis from the Jets I feel this has to be the pick. Rhodes is a talented CB and fills an area of need for the Bucs. They could go with S Vaccaro here but shoring up the CB position should be a priority and Rhodes is a good value here.
14. CAR - Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
Like Lotulelei this pick just makes sense from a needs and value standpoint.
15. N.O. - Sylvester Williams, DT, N.C.
The Saints need help along the DL and since I don't think there are any DE's available that are a good value here I thin they go DT and Williams is a top 20 talent in this draft so getting him at #15 makes sense.
16. STL - Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
They need a replacement for Amendola and with 2 picks in the first round they need to grab a WR with one of them. They shouldn't wait because Austin might not be there when their second pick rolls around.
17. PIT - Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
The Steelers go for BPA and fill a need. They like having both pass catching and good run-blocking TE's and Eifert fits that mold.
18. DAL - Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
The Cowboys have had issues with their OL and it would benefit them to grab a player who has the size and strength to lock down a guard position from day one. Another way they could go is Vaccaro at S but at this point in Romo's career he can't be taking too many big hits, so help him out and the running game.
19. NYG - Bjoern Warner, DE, Florida State
I am not a huge Warner fan but the guy does have hustle and the ability to rush the passer, two things the Giants need on defense. I think this is a great fit.
20. CHI - D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
There is no secret the Bears biggest problem is their OL. Bring in Fluker to play at RT, move Carimi to OG. The Bears almost don't have a choice but to go OL with this pick.
21. CIN - Kenn Vaccaro, S, Texas
The Bengals stay patient and get their guy at pick 21. Vaccaro seems to be at the head of the class for safeties and from this mock it just worked out that he fell to them.
22. STL - Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
With their second first round pick the Rams take what I think is a top 10 talent. Jones has off the field issues that will deter some teams form taking him but the Rams almost have nothing to lose with this pick. Jones fits a need and is by far the BPA at this point.
23. MIN - Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Just like the Rams the Vikings have 2 first round picks and use one of them on a WR. Hunter's stock has been rising as of late and he would be a great compliment of size to go with the addition of Greg Jennings.
24. IND - Aelc Ogletree, LB, Georgia
The Colts spent most of last year going after offense and it paid off. This year they need to focus on defense and they get a good value pick here to help a position area of need.
25. MIN - Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
Minnesota needs help in the LB core and although Te'o has had his issues since the end of the college season, I feel he is still a great player at an area of need for the Vikings.
26. G.B. John Cypien, S, FIU
Being a Packer fan I wanted either, OL, RB, or S with this pick. I looked at the roster and the available players and although Lacy was inticing I really want them to draft Montee Ball. So I went with the position on the defense that is the weakest and took the hard hitting, high flying safety out of FIU.
27. HOU - Keenan Allen, WR, Cal
This is simple, the Texans NEED someone opposite Andre Johnson who can make plays and they just haven't had it. Allen is a very talented and capable WR and should bring some stability to the WR position in Houston.
28. DEN - Datone Jones, DL, UCLA
This guy has been flying up the boards and can fill a hole left by Dumerville.
29. NE - Matt Elam, S, Florida
With all the top WRs gone NE should address the safety position and take a good talent in Elam. The Patriots did have issues last year giving up big plays in the passing game and Elam can help shore up that back end.
30. ATL - Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State
This should be a dream pick for the Falcons. They need help in pass rush and Carradine could have been a top 10 pick without the injury.
31. SF - Margus Hunt, DE, SMU
Moving to a 3-4 won't be as eas a transition as some might think. I am still unsure why they changed when they had such a great defense in place. Hunt will help as a 3-4 DE talent that are hard to come by.
32. BAL - DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
After winning the Superbowl the Ravens did a littel house cleaning, which isn't uncommon. WR might not be the biggest need but losing Boldin was tough. After signing Flacco to that lucrative contract they need to replenish his weapons and although they may be reaching a bit, Hopkins can come in and have an immediate impact for Flacco.
Thanks everyone, comments are welcome.
If you do comment and think I made a huge mistake or don't like the pick please say WHY and who you would take INSTEAD.

This is the type of worst case scenario that might lead to the Browns taking Geno. I don't see any way that they take Mingo though.

Bears don't plan on improving their current starting OL? why would you reach for a CB or LB when a huge need and a good value is right at your finger tips?

I agree Tank to the Birds is a really good pick for us. I think Tank is a top 20 talent when healthy and te better of the 2 FSU DE's.
You can't throw out Arthur Brown or Ogletree either as good choices their both highly talented players as well that would be a big need at OLB. With the depth at CB in the 2nd round so strong like 10 deep all similar talent to Taylor it might bebest to go DE or OLB 1st round whoever is bpa and then go CB in the 2nd where the talent is the deepest at for best value.

Miami doesn't need another receiver especially one who doesn't know a full route tree. Rather see Eifert there, just dont see how your going to get the ball to 5 maybe 6 receivers in Wallace, Hartline, Bess, Gibson, Matthews, and Patterson

I thought about Eifert but what I noticed was Miami has no big receivers, just a bunch of slot type receivers.
Would Patterson not be an upgrade over guys like Gibson, Matthews?
I hear ya on the Eifert choice though.

The federal government is going to lose billions more on its automotive bailout than it planned.
The Treasury Department now expects to lose $9 billion more on the automotive bailout, increasing the total loss to an estimated $23.6 billion, the Detroit News reports. The increase is largely due to a slide in General Motors' stock price.
The bailout is expected to play large in presidential politics. President Obama has made multiple trips to auto plants in the Midwest to tout the success of the bailout. Republican presidential hopefuls, like front-runner and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, have blasted it as government interference in private commerce.
While GM has seen a strong resurgence in the U.S., its stock price has fallen out of concerns about its sales around the world, especially in troubled Europe.
The News says the cost of the bailout of GM, Chrysler Group and the auto finance companies totaled $79.6 billion. The two automakers restructured through bankruptcy. Ford Motor didn't take a bailout.
Taxpayers have already gotten some of their money back. The government has gotten back $23.2 billion of its $49.5 billion bailout of GM. It has reduced its stake in the company from 61% to 26.5%. With the falling share price, however, it is not going to sell more of its GM stock.
But it has been forced to put on hold the sale of its remaining 500 million shares of stock.

LONDON (Reuters) - The Archbishop of Canterbury criticised the government's fiscal stimulus package on Thursday, likening it to "an addict returning to a drug."
But Prime Minister Gordon Brown hit back with a scriptural reference, saying the government should not "walk by on the other side" when people got into financial difficulties.
The government has announced a 20 billion pound financial package which features debt-funded tax cuts and spending increases to try to ease the effects of a crisis that follows more than a decade of credit-fuelled growth.
Anglican leader Rowan Williams, while saying he was no economist, questioned the policy.
"I worry a bit about that, it seems a little like the addict returning to the drug," he said in an interview with BBC radio.
"I think there are deeper questions to be asked. I want to ask where these moral questions are in the economic discourse."
The archbishop said the credit crunch was a reality check, a reminder that "fairy gold is just that."
"Sooner or later you have to ask, what are we making and what are we assembling or creating wealth for," he said.
He warned that the "quick profit" society had created closed off communities which avoid taking care of others.
Williams said it often appeared as though "we are creating gated communities where we're vaguely hoping that outside the gates all those people in Africa or Asia who are not making it will somehow be looked after, but not by us."
He called for an emphasis on more sustainable wealth creation and urged the government to encourage a more volunteer society. People were also waiting for financial bosses to say "sorry" for the crisis, he said.
"A lot of people are waiting to hear some acknowledgment of responsibility for irresponsible behaviour," he said.
"I think that a lot of people in the financial world are feeling it privately but not saying it."
Brown said he supported Williams' views on a strong civic society and the need to act against irresponsible behaviour when it appears in the banking and financial system.
"But I think the archbishop would also agree with me that every time someone becomes unemployed or loses a home, or a small business fails, it is our duty to act and we should not walk by on the other side when people are facing problems," Brown told reporters, echoing the parable of the Good Samaritan.
"That's the reason why our fiscal policy is designed to give real help to families and business," he said.

My life with Bradley Cooper!
What's a girl to do when she longs for a life with a big-time Hollywood celebrity, but just can't get to him? Make a life-sized cardboard cutout of him and take him everywhere she goes, of course!
That's what New Jersey resident Danielle Davies did when she had a hankering to hang with Bradley Cooper.
She even started a website called My Life with Bradley Cooper where she posts pics of him running errands with her, doing housework, and even going on dates – all in his red carpet tuxedo.
Davies was inspired to do this because she and Cooper were in a play together when they were younger and she thought it would be funny to poke fun at how differently their lives turned out.
Davies gives props to her real-life husband and kids, saying they've been very patient with her obsession. But she's having fun and hopes to turn this prank into a book. (NJ.com)
What celebrity " cut out" would you take everywhere with you?

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello, Thank you for using this service, I will be helping you with your problem today
this is the bottom seal correct ? goes along the bottom of the door ?
Yes. It's the strip that fits on the bottom of the inside door panel, not the seal the goes all around the front of the dishwasher body.
That sounds like what I've been trying. There is a J shaped slot that seems to be the correct piece of the part that fits onto the lower door. But when I fit the groove above it onto the door, I am unable to rotate the part so that the slot fits onto the door.
The screws have six-sided holes, not phillps head or slot. Is that an allen wrench style or some special Kitchenaid only screw?
Oh, well. I didn't get the answers I was hoping to get, but I'll give you a decent rating anyway!

Supersize That House? New Homes Get Bigger
New home buyers have a big appetite for larger homes, according to preliminary data recently released by the United States Census Bureau––suggesting that home sizes set a new record in 2013.
The average size of a new home has increased more than 300 square feet in the last five years, to 2,679 square feet in 2013 from 2,362 square feet in 2009, according to the census data in a report published by the National Association of Home Builders.
The return to larger homes comes after housing sizes bottomed out in 2009.
The NAHB says builders are meeting the demands of their customers, who have a much higher credit score and a higher median income than in 2007. The average new-home sale price rose to $318,000 in 2013 from $248,000 in 2009.
These days, the typical new home is about 50% larger than its 1973 counterpart, according to the Census Bureau, which began tracking this kind of data in the mid-1970s.
As square footage has increased, so has the number of bedrooms. Of all the new homes built, 48% had at least four bedrooms in 2013, compared to 34% in 2009. If this trend holds, it could bring another key shift in the housing demographic: the three-bedroom home, which has been the model of the housing market since 1973, could be traded up for a bigger size.
In addition, 35% of new homes built in 2013 had at least three full bathrooms, up from 23% in 2010. Similarly, the share of homes with garages for three or more cars rose to 22% in 2013 from 16% in 2010.
According to a recent NAHB study on the Characteristics of Home Buyers, first-time home buyers purchase lower priced and smaller homes than trade-up buyers. First-time buyers, who usually represent 40% of the market, have been steadily eliminated from the market as credit rules have tightened and mortgage rates have increased, according to the NAHB report, which could also explain the increase in average home size.

I have subdomain: blogs.mydomain.com (it runs 2 banner ads and 1 Text link) - Added a URL channel for it.
Now the ONLY above 3 ads: added to a custom channel same name as URL channel. The custom channel named the same blogs.mydomain.com.
Now the difference for last 24 hours for the both channels with same name, showing on one subdomain and same ads. example below.
blogs.mydomain.com (URL Channel) -> 50,000 Impression -> 3.25 CTR -> $20 earningsblogs.mydomain.com (Custom channel) -> 25,000 Impression > 2.50 CTR -> $10 earnings.
Why in the Gods name this difference arises when both are counting the same ads one by using custom channels and other by URL channel. Simply I have added the ads displayed on a subdomain to a custom channel and it's showing almost 50% differece.
which site? Maybe you're also using adlink?Stats should be the same if your site is like you said, but I cant be sure without seeing it by myself.

EXCLUSIVE: Kali Hawk, who recurs on Fox's freshman comedy New Girl, has been tapped as a performer on the network's In Living Color reboot, executive produced by Keenan Ivory Wayans, creator and star of the groundbreaking 1990s original.

They were originally eyed to air in conjunction with Fox's 25th anniversary celebration, which will be marked with a special on April 22. The In Living Color specials, which will film in April, will now air at a later day, with a May berth a possibility. Fox21 is producing.

From what I'm hearing this show is going to be a huge mess…
No Asian comedians?
Did they say there will be no Asian comedians?
Do marketing people really think "reboot" is less offensive than "remake"? Because both words are equally tainted at this point.
Include "reimagining" in that list too.
Keenan Ivory Wayans hasn't been funny in decades. He's also a notorious douche-bag. Can't wait to miss this.
From what I'm hearing, everyone there is equally kind.
I really like Kali Hawk on The New Girl. I can't help but feel this is beneath her.
Yes! Great post!
Most of you must not have watched In Living Color.
I don't know how I feel about this. I would prefer they start airing reruns than make a remake. It's gonna ruin the original show.

Colchester United manager John Ward was adamant referee Chris Sarginson was wrong to award Scunthorpe United a controversial penalty which led to the U's sliding to a 1-0 defeat this afternoon.
Sarginson controversially ruled that Leon Clarke had been fouled in the area with 15 minutes to go and pointed to the spot, despite Colchester's protestations.
Clarke duly despatched the penalty from the spot, enabling Scunthorpe to go on and claim victory and condemn the U's to defeat and extend their run without a league win to eight matches this season.
Ward said: "I'm reluctant to complain about referees but they really should get things correct and the last couple of goals that we've conceded have been incorrect decisions.
"It sounds like I'm looking for an excuse and I'm not pleading bad luck or anything like that.
"We can't do anything about that now and that's just how life is at the moment but we have to be better in both boxes.
"We're trying our hardest but it's just not happening for us.
"We're feeling a little bit sorry for ourselves at the moment but with a bit of reason.
"We have to continue to work hard and have the same attitude and approach to the game."
See Monday's Gazette for more reaction to Colchester's game with Scunthorpe and a match report and pictures from the match at Glanford Park.

The State of the Union speech is the most important speech of a president. It is an accountability speech for what has happened during the year. It is about successes and failures. It is closely listened to by the people of the U.S. and by the people of the world. This means it must be totally accurate.
This presidents credibility is suspect because of his speech. Not only because of statements regarding Iraq, but because of his economic policies. He stated, We will not pass along our problems to other Congresses, to other presidents, and other generations. This is not the case. These are the facts:
We have lost close to three million jobs since Bush took office. The U.S. tax take has fallen three straight years. A $269 billion slide in tax revenues. This is a phenomenon not seen since the Great Depression.
Outsourcing to foreign countries to take advantage of cheaper labor has cost U.S. workers their jobs.
Incorporation of companies and building manufacturing and R&D facilities in foreign countries, such as China, has led to decreased production here at home.
Corporate greed has not been stopped. It had been lightly punished and continues. Enron was an advisor to Dick Cheneys energy policies for this administration. Secrecy in the White House has successfully stopped this investigation.
A Texas oil company was allowed to try to bankrupt California by charging unfair prices for energy.
Our deficit is a projected $455 billion. It is increasing monthly because of Iraq and Afghanistan. Three years ago we had a surplus.
The American dollar is weaker. Foreign countries are selling off their U.S. bonds. They no longer have faith in our future. The top 20 money earners have had several large tax breaks from this administration, None have improved the economy.
Most world economists think our economic policies are insane. Three years ago we were one of the top economically secure nations of the world.
The Federalist Papers state: The mischievous effects of a mutable government ... forfeits the respect and confidence of other nations, and all the advantages connected with national character. Every nation, consequently, whose affairs betray a want of wisdom and stability may calculate on every loss which can be sustained from their neighbors.
We are the other 80 percent of the money earners. We are the majority. We can change the direction of our government. We have the vote.

Lost Princess - Poem by Bella Ravenstar
The princess
A kind and gentle soul
Tossed by peasants cruel
Burdened with woes
Stricken with pain
Her hope fading
Her jester peasant parents
Playing a bit of fools
Tired of thier jests
One day she fled far from home
And upon her weary travels she saw
The grand castle of the king
With welcoming beams
Drew her near
Knocking upon the beautiful doors
A maid treated her kindly
She felt quite at home
The lords escorted her
To the cahmbers
There she felt not alone
For they treated her kindly
All the worldly cares drifted away
A sweet warmth of the heart within
A subtle joy
She fullfilling duties for the king
Happy to assist
Then they bid her from the castle
And a renewal
THen as time passed
Burdens have again
Her jester parents not always letting her go
She snuck out anyways
Going to the castle
And there doing works for the king
Feeling as a princess she is forever be

| MSHA's Accident Prevention Program
Miner's Tip
Use of Gas Heaters
|Mine Type: All Surface
|Category: Maintenance
In the winter, gas heaters or torches are used extensively to provide comfort to miners and to de-ice equipment. If gas heaters are placed in confined areas or unventilated areas, dangerous hazards can occur. As the gas (usually propane) is burned, oxygen in the air is depleted. This can cause two problems; anyone in the area may be overcome by a lack of oxygen, or the lack of oxygen can cause the propane heater to self extinguish. If the latter occurs, the heater can continue to discharge propane into this space. Attempts to re-light the heater can ignite the unburned fuel (gas) in the atmosphere and cause an explosion.
To prevent these types of accidents, all mining operations should review their procedures for heating unventilated spaces. The following precautions should be incorporated in any thawing procedures:
- Fuel-operated heaters should only be used in well ventilated areas.
- Fuel-operated heaters should not be left unattended unless they have a flame safeguard and are listed by the manufacturer for unattended operation.
- Fuel operated heaters should be listed or approved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and should never be used beyond their listed limitations (design capacity).
- Before using fuel-operated heaters, the manufacturer's safety, operating, and maintenance instructions should be thoroughly reviewed and followed.
- All unventilated or poorly ventilated areas utilizing fuel-operated heaters should be treated as a confined space and appropriate precautions taken before entering the space.

My Mother - Poem by April Humason
When we first met I was in your belly and so very small. I could tell you loved me unconditionally when you cuddled me with hugs and soft kisses. You stay close to me when everyone else wanted to run. You taught me that God and family is what matters in life. Mom from the time I was born you have taught me to be honest. You have been the most compassionate person I have ever known. You are so patient and always let me choose my own way even if I was being stupid. I'm all grown and can teach my kids all I have learned from you. If i could embrace you today in person I would tell you there is nobody that could take your place because there is nobody who I have loved as long as you.

Greece is thought to have put its London consulate in Holland Park on the block as part of a wider sell-off of diplomatic properties aimed at raising funds to secure its next bail-out tranche.
Estate agent Marsh & Parsons has been appointed to sell the Victorian house, which spans 10,000 sq ft in the exclusive London borough. The sale could fetch £12m ($19.4m).
A former palace that belonged to Greece's royal family is also up for sale. The partially-ruined Palace of Tatoi near Athens was home to the family before they fled Greece in 1967. The estate comes with 40 outbuildings and stables, plus a family graveyard. Other lots include office buildings in Brussels, property in Belgrade, a home in Llubljana and land in Nicosia, Cyprus. Last year, Greece agreed to raise €50bn ($64.9bn) before 2020 by selling assets.
Meanwhile, Finnish prime minister Jyrki Katainen added to the criticism of the euro zone's big rescue plan – the European Central Bank's bond-buying programme. "It has led to a positive situation, but I'm not fully sure if it will help in the long run," he said.
He added that traders were not listening to Spain's efforts to reduce its debts and avoid a bail-out. "The problem is that whatever the countries do, the interest rates do not necessarily follow, as the markets do not analyse each country's own action, but they are afraid of a domino effect," he said. Mariano Rajoy, Spain's prime minister, defended his austerity efforts to MPs. "The policy is to reduce the deficit because if we don't reduce the deficit we aren't going to be able to finance ourselves," he said.
Research by Bloomberg showed that €326bn was pulled out of banks in Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece in the year to the end of July. Meanwhile, Andrea Enria, chairman of the European Banking Authority, complained of "stringent resource constraints" and a staff shortage.

Scope and Contents of the Records
Applications for appointment as notaries public, 1908-1911, undated,
Texas Governor Thomas Mitchell Campbell:
An Inventory of Records at the Texas State Archives, 1906-1911
Biographical Sketch
Thomas Mitchell Campbell served as governor of Texas from January 15, 1907 to January 17, 1911. Campbell, the second native Texan to become governor, was born in Cherokee County in 1856, and was a boyhood friend of Governor Jim Hogg. He attended Rusk Masonic Institute and spent a year at Trinity University before being admitted to the bar in 1878 at Longview. In 1891 Campbell was named receiver for the International and Great Northern Railroad, and in 1893 he became the line's general manager. Conflict with the owners over policies toward employees and the public caused him to resign in 1897 and reenter private law practice.
Endorsed by former Governor Jim Hogg, Campbell ran for the Democratic nomination for governor in the state's first primary in 1906. He received a plurality but no majority, and since the law did not yet provide for a primary run-off, the issue went into party convention. The last-minute support of U.S. Senator Joe Bailey may have guaranteed Campbell's nomination. In 1908 he was easily re-elected. Among the reform items passed during Campbell's administration were stronger anti-trust laws, a pure food law, lobby regulation, municipal regulation of utilities, increased tax support for public schools, and insurance reform. Other changes included the creation of the Department of Insurance, Banking, Statistics, and History, the creation of the Texas State Library and Historical Commission, stock quarantine laws, reorganization of the state banking system, the establishment of irrigation and drainage districts, and the abolition of contract leasing of prison labor. Campbell returned to private practice in 1911, and was defeated in a 1916 race for U.S. Senate. He died in 1923.

text: "I brought my PowerPoint presentation", joked Earlimart's Aaron Espinoza, as two screens displayed random images behind him. Billed as an Earlimart performance, the set was really just Espinoza with his guitar and some drum beats ("I usually have a band. I forgot to pack 'em on the way out of town", he explained). In the comfortable confines of the church, it was a well put together, well thought-out show, although it didn't really connect with me, personally. One undeniable highlight, however, was his rendition of the rarely-played "Heaven Adores You", which Espinoza wrote about the late Elliott Smith. Given the setting, Espinoza said, it seemed appropriate.

White-nosed Coati (Nasua narica)
Photo by J. Rorabaugh, courtesy U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service*
Though they are close relatives of the raccoon, coatis are gregarious animals that usually live in social bands. They have long tails and are greyish brown in color with characteristic white markings above and below the eyes as shown in the photo. Coatis have entered the Arizona upland desert from the Chihuahuan desert. Because they seek the cooler high elevation areas they are able forage for food during daylight hours when many animals are sleeping in their dens. By using nose and front paws equipped with strong curved claws, coatis unearth insects, worms, small mammals, and reptiles. They are nimble climbers and can seek safety in trees when necessary. Trees also offer additional menu items such as birds' eggs, berries, and fruits.
The large coati bands that can be found in the Huachuca and Chiricahua mountains are made up of adult females with their young. When the young males reach about two years of age they go off on their own and rejoin the groups only at the breeding season. A full-grown coati weighs about 10 pounds and is about 40" in length, with as much as 20" of that being the characteristic ringed tail that is frequently held straight up as shown in the drawing above and the photo below.

text: 000 FXUS63 KBIS 270240 AFDBIS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 940 PM CDT Wed Jul 26 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 939 PM CDT Wed Jul 26 2017 A few clouds linger over southwest North Dakota where low level jet is expected to intensify later this evening. Still not confident anything will develop, but the potential is there for some convection so will keep low precipitation chances in for late tonight. UPDATE Issued at 639 PM CDT Wed Jul 26 2017 Quiet weather continues early this evening with no changes needed to current forecast. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 230 PM CDT Wed Jul 26 2017 Surface analysis shows high pressure centered over the southern Saskatchewan/Manitoba border, bringing sunshine with a few fair weather cumulus clouds and calm winds to the state. Further upstream several upper level impulses depicted on water vapor imagery over Idaho and Nevada were causing surface pressure to fall over central Montana. A corridor of meager high based instability was present in southeastern Montana, possibly into far southwestern North Dakota, aided by dew points that managed to reach into the low 50s. With the majority of the dynamic forcing still upstream and the weak instability profiles, several convection-allowing model runs have still managed to squeeze out a few signs of thunderstorm activity in our far southwest. Given the wide low level dew point depressions and lack of a steep lapse rate overlay, thunderstorm threats will mainly stick to gusty winds. Into the overnight hours a secondary chance of elevated convection is possible on a strengthening low level jet over the western half of the state, though not expecting many strong storms with this activity. On Thursday a brief period of southerly return flow through the west will allow for at least somewhat of a CAPE/shear profile possible for convective activity ahead of mid-level shortwave. While model consensus shows that CAPE values will struggle to reach 1000 J/kg, deep layer shear values up to 30-40 kts in the southwest will bring a marginal chance of severe weather. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 230 PM CDT Wed Jul 26 2017 Early Friday the second 700mb wave arrives from the west bringing another chance of showers and thunderstorms for the far west, especially on the nose of an early morning 850mb low level jet. Chances for convection will continue into the Friday evening hours as the surface trough axis shifts from west to east, however likelihood of severe weather will depend on atmospheric recovery behind the earlier convective activity. Going into this weekend the upper level ridge builds once again keeping the area dry with highs into the 80s and a few spots in the low 90s. GFS/ECMWF agreement indicates the upper level ridge shifting off to the east by the beginning of next week, marking the next chance for precipitation. && .AVIATION...(For the 00z TAFS through 00z Thursday evening) Issued at 630 PM CDT Wed Jul 26 2017 Isolated thunderstorms possible overnight into Thursday over portions of southwest and south central North Dakota. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ UPDATE...JJS SHORT TERM...AE LONG TERM...AE AVIATION...JJS

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Lovation is nice because it was far enough, but close enough to freeway. Nicely sized room. 2 sinks were nice. The grounds & the room smelled of smoke despite it being a non-smoking room. When I opened the door, I was overcome by the smell of chemical cleaners. I had to open the window to air out & it was cold outside.
Location. We wanted to get out of the Boston area. Price was appropriate. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. Terrible night's sleep.
Quiet location yet close to town. Rooms were very large and clean. Big bathroom that had been updated. The breakfast was a little insufficient. Coffee, donuts, and juice were advertised but by the time we got there only 2 donuts remained. They were prepackaged and not fresh which is what I was expecting. The lobby is very small so it was difficult to get to the juice and donuts which were behind the entry door.
Hotel refused to refund me after having to switch hotels. Took third party booking company a week to win me the refund.
The only good part was a location They clams it was renovated .... Non sense never put a dine in to it. No good
The room was modern, very clean, and the bed and shower were good. The room was supposed to be non-smoking but wasn't. My eyes watered, and the smell was overpowering. There wasn't decaffeinated coffee as an option in the morning.
Arrived midnight with small kids. Told hotel/ Internet had overbooked!!! All places around sold out. Ended up sleeping in car at rest stop. Never again will we use this site!!! Nothing
the staff was so nice & did everything they could to try and make us feel comfortable. kayak sucks! will never book through them again! they messed up our reservation and we were stuck without a place to stay for a good 5 hours waiting in the motel lobby on the phone with hotels.com trying to get them to fix their mistake.
Very Clean. Excellent Staff .very accomodating staff , really liked the hotel and staff
Privacy Despite the upgrade tiny tv old furniture
Absolutely NOTHING Absolutely EVERYTHING
Nice TV. Good shower. Lots of desk space. Hard wood floor was a little dirty. Blanket had burn marks in it.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Nothing what so ever The smell of the room, the grossness of the room, the manager and 2 house keepers stealing my belongings before I even checked out... Worst motel experience ever. DON'T STAY HERE!!!!!!!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The room was very clean
The pool was nice. Nobody at it durning the day so I could just lay around. The staff was cold and need to be taught what customer service means.
very noisy too close to road
Cleanliness Location and directions to find
Friendly staff at check in Requested non-smoking room, which we got, but it smelled like smoke the second we walked in. There were burn holes in the comforter. The towels had brown and yellow marks on them. Didn't dare touch them. When we left the next morning, our stuff smelled ba
Price No fridge
Clean, comfy room. Nothing special but average. Small and limited towels
Quick access to room, Location convenient to highway and to food, staff friendly, cost acceptable, TV good. Radiant Heating along ceiling...Heat didn't really get down to bed-level or floor level. Noisy bathroom vent fan. Would have liked hair-dryer in room.

The average monthly smartphone bill in Tokyo is the fourth most expensive among seven major cities in the world, according to a study by the Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry.
The monthly bill for a 2-gigabyte data communications plan stood at ¥7,022 in Tokyo. New York topped the list at ¥10,601, followed by Duesseldorf, Germany, at ¥9,128 and London at ¥7,282.
Tokyo came in third in terms of 5- and 7-gigabyte data communications plans, the study released Tuesday found.
The rankings were based on purchasing power parity for the carriers with the largest market shares in the seven cities as of the end of 2014.
The study was conducted on the basis that the subscriber talks on the smartphone for 36 minutes and sends 129 messages per month.
The monthly bill set by NTT Docomo Inc. was relatively higher than the actual cost paid by its subscribers as the survey did not reflect monthly discounts offered by the company for the purchase of a smartphone.
The survey also covered Paris, Stockholm and Seoul.
In a separate survey released the same day, it found some 10 percent of infants below the age of 1 in Japan have been exposed to information technology devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.
Parents are showing their infants YouTube videos on their smartphones, said the Institute for Information and Communications Policy.
The survey, by a unit of the Communications Ministry, also revealed that about 30 percent of preschool children are adept at using IT gadgets.
They are thought to have picked up the skill on their own, probably by copying their parents, the think tank said.
Among other findings: Sixty to 70 percent of preschool children watch videos and 40 percent use educational applications.
The institute conducted the survey in February and March, receiving responses from 1,350 people.

Cadillac Converj Rises From The Dead at Beijing Auto Show
Cadillac's Converj electric car, reported to be dead, has made an appearance at his year's Beijing Auto Show, sparking speculation that the opulent alternative fuel vehicle is still alive and kicking.
The Converj, which mates the Chevrolet Volt's electric powertrain with the features and amenities of a Cadillac, can travel about 40 miles on electric power alone, and then uses a gasoline motor for propulsion. The car can be plugged in to recharge its batteries as well. And did we mention it looks awesome?
While Bloomberg had reported in March of this year that GM had decided against producing the Converj, its Beijing appearance suggests that their may be renewed interest for the luxury hybrid. So pass the rumor along: the ConverJ isn't dead yet.

Vodafone confirms Kabel Deutschland interest. Vodafone's (NASDAQ:VOD) shares were -3.95% premarket after its stock went ex-dividend and following the company's confirmation that it is interested in acquiring Kabel Deutschland (OTCPK:KBDHY). Vodafone has reportedly offered €10B for the German cable TV, Internet and telecom operator, whose shares were +9.5% at lunchtime in Frankfurt. That gives it a market cap of €7.17B. Any deal would mark a major departure by Vodafone from its focus on the cellular market.
U.K. regulator mulls probe into possible forex manipulation. The U.K.'s market supervisor, the Financial Conduct Authority, is reportedly considering opening an investigation into the alleged manipulation of WM/Reuters benchmark foreign-exchange rates, which are used to fix the value of trillions of dollars of investments. The practice has apparently been going on every day for at least a decade at major banks.
Amgen's Enbrel blockbuster drug no better than generics -study. Amgen's (NASDAQ:AMGN) blockbuster Enbrel treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, which generated sales of $4.23B last year, is no more effective than a combination of three generic drugs, a study shows. While a regimen that includes Enbrel costs $25,000 a year per patient, the "triple therapy" costs just $1,000. Despite the study, researchers feel that the branded treatments might be too well ensconced to be quickly replaced.
Top Stock News
Coty set for billion dollar IPO. Beauty-products conglomerate Coty (NYSE:COTY), whose perfumes include Calvin Klein, is due to price its NYSE IPO later today, when it could raise up to $1.22B. The price range is $16.50-$18.50, giving the company a market cap of $6.9B at the mid-point. Some analysts aren't totally convinced by Coty, due to its exposure to Europe and because insiders will retain 97.7% of the firm's voting rights despite selling all the shares in the IPO.
Japanese shares fall, Europe and U.S. regain poise. Japanese shares (NYSEARCA:EWJ) had another volatile day, dropping as much as 2.4% before rebounding to close a mere -0.2%. Better-than-expected eurozone industrial output helped EU stocks (NYSEARCA:FEZ) recover some poise after two days of declines, with U.S. futures and the dollar-yen rate (NYSEARCA:FXY) (+0.55% at the time of writing) also higher. But the continuing theme of uncertainty about central bank stimulus is keeping markets on edge. (See below for details).
Herbalife reckons it has 7.9M customers. Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) has released the results of a Nielsen study showing that 3.3% of the U.S. population purchased the company's products within the past three months, indicating 7.9M customers. This compares with a distributor network of about 550,000. The data "confirms what we at Herbalife already know to be true: that Herbalife's products have a broad consumer base here in the U.S," the company said.
Boeing 787 suffers engine failure while on ground. Boeing's (NYSE:BA) 787 jet has been hit by yet another glitch, with All Nippon Airways scrapping an internal Japanese flight after one of the plane's Rolls Royce (OTCPK:RYCEY) engines failed to start. The cancellation is the third this week after Dreamliner services were recently renewed following a four-month grounding due to battery problems.
ISS backs SoftBank's bid for Sprint. Institutional Shareholder Services has recommended that Sprint's (NYSE:S) shareholders back SoftBank's (OTCPK:SFTBF) latest $21.6B offer for 78% of the U.S. carrier. The proxy advisory firm also supported the Japanese company's earlier $20.1B proposal for 70% of Sprint. ISS partly ascribed its latest recommendation to improved terms, although Janco analyst Gerard Hallaren reckons that SoftBank's new bid values Sprint at less than the first one ($27.8B vs. $28.9B).
Yum's KFC continues to suffer in China. Yum's (NYSE:YUM) Chinese same-store sales fell 19% on year in May as avian flu fears continued to take a toll on local KFC demand. However, the decline represented an improvement on April's 29% drop and matched consensus. KFC same-store sales plummeted 25% but Pizza Hut's climbed 12%.
Top Economic & Other News
MSCI demotes Greece to emerging market. MSCI has cut Greece's classification to emerging market from developed market, making the country the first to suffer such a demotion. MSCI attributed the move to Greece not meeting requirements related to securities borrowing and lending facilities, short selling, transferability and stock-index size. MSCI's decision follows similar action from Russell Investments in March.
Eurozone industrial output surprises on the upside. Eurozone industrial production unexpectedly rose 0.4% on month in April, although growth was held back by a fall in energy and durable and consumer goods. The highest increase was in Ireland (+3%), while Finland and Holland suffered sharp declines. Although the data is "relatively encouraging," says economist Howard Archer, "the eurozone manufacturing sector is not yet out of the woods."
Japanese machinery orders slide sharply. Japan's core machinery orders fell for the first month in three in April, dropping 8.8% on month vs +14.2% in March and consensus of -8.5%. The figures, which are a leading but volatile indicator of capex, show that companies are still reluctant to spend despite the government's and BOJ's stimulus policies. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants to change that with tax cuts on capex.
Alpha-Rich Stock Movers and Great Calls
1) On April 8, Whopper Investments pointed out the potential turnaround opportunity in Cache, stating shares offered huge value. Since then, CACH is +42%.
2) Early Monday morning, Nick Ghattas published an analysis of CSP Inc., noting its cheap, cash-backed valuation. CSPI closed the day +8.5%.
Alpha-Rich Stocks To Watch
1) Westpac Banking Corporation (NYSE:WBK). Financial analyst Caiman Valores sees 30% downside as overexposure to Australia's bubbly housing sector, a heavy debt load, and a macro downturn could hit WBK's share price.
2) Express Inc. (NYSE:EXPR). A flexible sales model and growing brand recognition should power EXPR higher. Peer valuations and recent retail buyouts suggest a minimum of 20% upside.

Survivor: Cagayan -- Brawn vs Brains vs Beauty
Exclusive: Runner-up Yung "Woo" Hwang talks 'Survivor: Cagayan -- Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty' (Part 2)
By Reality TV World staff, 05/30/2014
Yung "Woo" Hwang, a 29-year-old martial arts instructor from Newport Beach, CA, finished
: Cagayan -- Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty as the runner-up behind Tony Vlachos.
beat Woo
and claimed the $1 million grand prize in the season's final jury voting results, which
Jeff Probst
revealed live during the reunion broadcast. Both Tony and Woo had begun the game on the Brawn tribe.
Jeff revealed Tony had received five votes from the jury, while Woo only earned one. It's unclear which way the other three votes went. Kassandra "Kass" McQuillen finished the game in third place, and Spencer Bledsoe finished in fourth.
In an exclusive interview with Reality TV World, Woo talked about his
experience. Below is the concluding portion.

to read the first half. Also, check our
page for more interviews with the season's Final 4 castaways.
Reality TV World: Jeff polled the jury last night at the reunion show and it seemed like you made a $1 million mistake. They all said, for the most part, they would have voted for you instead of Kass if you had taken Kass to the end.
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
At a commercial break when Jeff's like, "Okay, when we come back, will we see if Woo made a one million-dollar mistake?!" Boom! I got punched in the stomach. I was sitting onstage during the live show, everyone's looking at me. I've got family and friends in the crowd. I'm thinking, "Here we go."
And then we come back. [Jeff said], "Oh, we're back live. Now, if Woo were to have taken Kass, who would've voted for Woo?!" People raised their hand. The regrets in life are only regretful when don't find the positive. So, you think, "Okay, yes, I lost. But did I leave a good impression on every single person I met?"
Everyone on my Twitter is posting nothing but encouragement, like, "Hey Woo. Man, thanks for just being you!"
"Man, thanks for being my hero!"
"Man, I strive to be like you!"
"Man, what you did at that Reward Challenge -- on my next missionary trip, I'm going to go out and be just like you."
To me, I don't need a million bucks, because if I feel like a million bucks inside, I win in life!
Reality TV World: Sure, but knowing what you know now, I mean, would you have taken Kass to the end or do you feel so principled about the decision you made you would've done the same thing by taking Tony?
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
I'll reiterate one more time. Decisions are made in the spur of the moment. I made my decision and I don't regret anything. At the end of the day, I had a great time, awesome opportunity. Shoot, I made it to the red carpet, made Final 2. So, I mean, I'm happy.
Reality TV World: I wasn't asking if you had regrets, but that's fine, I understand if you don't want to answer the question. So the whole thing about Tony insisting his special idol was usable at the Final 4, did you believe that was the case sincerely?
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
When he said that special idol had amazing powers, I'm thinking, "What could this be?! Could it take him to the Top 4?" Because at that point, I'm not thinking you could use it after the votes are read. So, I mean, you have someone who's got this power. Do you want to mess with that?
I mean, you could just use it after the votes are read and then you got the target on your back for flipping? I don't know. For me, at that time, when Kass and Spencer were like, "Hey, we should get Tony out." I was like, "He's got his bag of tricks and I'm not messing with that right now."
Reality TV World: When you were shown gushing about what you planned to use the money for if you won, one of the things you mentioned was proposing to your girlfriend and starting your own studio. Obviously you still won $100,000 as the runner-up, so are you still planning to follow through with either one of those options?
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
Yeah! Yeah, in the near future. I currently run a gym in Huntington Beach, where I teach martial arts. And I have a weight facility where I do a lot of strength and conditioning as a personal trainer. I got that thing running, it's going really well. I'll be opening it up in January, and I couldn't be happier!
And yeah, with Christina, obviously at the right time, I'll get my ducks all lined up in a row. And when the time is right, that question will be popped.
Reality TV World: You were shown struggling with the decision whether to vote Tony out prior to that Final 3 as well when Spencer and Kass were still in the game. Had there ever been any real chance you would've voted him out earlier than the Final 4 or Final 5? And if so, what was the difference? Was it that you didn't want to be the sole person responsible for his vote-off?
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
You know, earlier, I mean, there was no chance in voting Tony out. He was a good teammate of mine. At the end, you sit there, you have to write a name down, and you take a second to kind of recap.
"Like, Okay, what am I doing? Will the jury respect me for not making moves and then taking someone like Kass and for Woo to think he's just going to cruise up in here and win the votes? Or, are you going to take someone like Tony who played a good game? They'll respect that. Those are some kudo points right there, I would say. But at the same time, are these guys -- who [Tony] had lied straight up to their face, they shook hands straight up, [Sarah Lacina] was arguing about how honorable her [police] badge was -- still [going to vote] for him? I don't know."
So, it's hard. It's like, "Will they vote for him? I don't know. He made me swear on my parents, who I just absolutely adore, and then he blew me out [of the game]? Man, that's tough. I don't know if I can vote for him to win."
Reality TV World: Spencer called you "a dog" in reference to your loyalty to Tony throughout the game. Did that offend you or do you understand where he was coming from with that comment at all? Would you argue Spencer's point by saying you had made some big moves or decisions along the way that just went unnoticed or weren't appreciated?
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
You know, comments like that, I'm a very prideful individual, so that didn't phase me. Does it bother me now? No. Because Spencer and I, we're good, we're cool, we squashed the beef, it's water under the [bridge], we had a great time. So everything is good.
Reality TV World: Looking back at it now, do you think you would've actually had a better chance to win if you had gone to the end with Spencer instead of Tony?
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
Spencer? Not a chance. Kass? Yeah. Now when everyone raises their hand saying they'd vote for me over Kass, yeah, I would've loved to take Kass. But there was no chance I would've beaten Spencer. Spencer, you know, he said some things about me. Did I take it personally? Absolutely not.
But look at where he came from. That guy, hey, if I met anyone with the drive of Spencer's -- he's a great kid. I'll forever be his friend. We're going to go surfing this weekend on Sunday, and I can't wait to take him out and see him get pounded by waves. That would be my little payback... He'd just get washed up like a ragdoll for an hour maybe and then we'll squash everything.
Reality TV World: What was your reaction when Tony admitted he had no problem playing the game on his father's grave? Obviously, that seemed to be the exact opposite approach of how you chose to play the game. Did you find his lies and broken promises "pathetic," as Jeremiah Wood had put it?
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
That's tough. Everyone has different ideas of how they want to play the game. I wanted to play it one way. Tony, very different from how I wanted to play. But I loved the way he played hard, okay? That's not a question.
Maybe what I can't really respect is how people can take advantage of other people, because at the end of the day, everything you do will dictate who you are tomorrow and in the future -- a year from now, two years from now.
Would I be happy as a person and love my life and respect myself by being a guy who has a million dollars but then being perceived as the bad guy? Or you play the game well, you go for the win -- of course -- you don't succeed, but at the end of the day, tomorrow, the next day, a week, a month, a year, two years from now -- whenever people see me, what do I remind them of? Positivity. Right? I put a smile on their face. That right there to me is priceless.
Reality TV World: How were you cast on
? How did you end up on the show?
Yung "Woo" Hwang:
Big fan! I applied, got a callback, and from there, it's history.

|Revisiting the Dependence of the Optical and Mobility Gaps of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon on Hydrogen Concentration
|Merid Legesse , Michael Nolan, Giorgos Fagas, 2013
|The optical absorption properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) are important in solar applications and from the perspective of fundamental materials science. However, there has been a long-standing question from experiment of the dependence of the optical gap on the hydrogen content in a-Si:H. To reconcile this debate, we present density functional theory simulations of models of hydrogenated a-Si:H, with different hydrogen concentrations up to and including full hydrogen saturation. We discuss the dependence of the optical and mobility gaps in fully saturated and undersaturated a-Si:H. Oversaturation with hydrogen results in a dramatic change in the properties of a-Si:H and is beyond the scope of this paper. For undersaturated hydrogen contents, both gaps increase with increasing hydrogen concentration until hydrogen saturation is achieved. Our key finding is that at saturation the optical and mobility gaps converge to a value independent of the hydrogen content. Our analysis thus resolves the contradiction between experimental data examining the effect of hydrogen content up to saturation and interpretations based on conventional expectations regarding the hydrogen dependence of the optical and mobility gaps up to saturation, and it provides new insight into the materials properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon that can be used for sample preparation.
