Best Of :: Shopping & Services
There are a lot of great record stores of varying degrees of indieness in metro Phoenix. Hoodlums excels not because it has the biggest selection or the choicest obscurities — it's solid, but not spectacular, in that regard — but because it's the best version of what we think a record store needs to be in an evolving marketplace deeply affected by the steady march toward digital-only distribution. Hoodlums isn't just a place to pick up silver slivers of plastic and old concert posters; it's a meeting place that always goes the extra step toward engaging customers as a community, whether it's staging a seemingly unending string of signings, small shows, art shows, or screenings of music-related movies. They've even held a few micro music festivals. In that way, Hoodlums has followed the path of its next-door neighbor, Changing Hands Bookstore, becoming a treasure to the Valley. You can buy CDs anywhere, but it's a rare place that can make you feel like part of the local music community, and Hoodlums is such a place.
In the summer of 2009, husband-and-wife team Liam James T. Murtagh and Emily Spetrino-Murtagh took over the old Art One space and opened this novelty shop that fuses two sweet things: vinyl records and candy. The Murtaghs, who play in a number of punk and ska bands, focus their records on those two genres as well as new wave. And there are all sorts of sugar-loaded confections, ranging from jars of eye-popping candy to edible mustaches. The space doubles as the couple's living quarters, so they're open only in the evening when they get home from their day jobs. BTW, don't be alarmed to see the Murtaghs' 2-year-old son, Iggy, running around the shop and being crazy playful. He won't bite.
Tucked behind the yummy Paisley Violin Café is this retail co-op that's housed in totally adorable structures that weren't so adorable at one time: The World War II-era cottages once held German and Italian prisoners of war. However, you won't feel anything weird or creepy when visiting the buildings that were moved from 19th Avenue and McDowell Road and remodeled by Gina and Derrick Suarez. Instead, you may very well experience local-art heaven in shops such as Urban Art Florist and Wicked Wear Studio and Gallery. The collective often unites to hold special events like the Paisley Town Art Festival as well as special dealios during Art Detour.
We shop. A lot. Which is why we figured we'd easily find a new winner in the "Best Boutique" category this year. No go. In good faith we simply can't stray from our favorite, Frances. Georganne Bryant doesn't just run the cutest boutique in town — she's started a cottage industry when it comes to community support. She gives well-earned shout-outs to other local businesses on her blog (www.francesblog.tumblr.com), supports the indie movement in all sorts of creative ways (from sponsoring movies like Handmade Nation to printing T-shirts that say, "Love Phoenix or Leave Phoenix") and she's the first to credit someone else with a good idea. But usually, truth be told, it's Georganne who has the good ideas. If you don't care about all that community building, buy-local hoo-ha, come to Frances because Georganne has good taste, along with good ideas. She stocks the sweetest collection of clothing, housewares, jewelry, and paper goods this town has ever seen. Now you can shop on Frances' website — and our pocketbook (super-cute, purchased at Frances) is really doomed. But be sure to sign up for Georganne's mailing list, because twice a year, she has a really good sale. Just don't go telling the whole world or anything, 'kay?
We'll follow Bunky wherever it goes. And we have. Owner Rachel Richards-Malloy has kept us on our toes since she opened — this is her third location. Today, her teeny shop is located across the street from the Phoenix Art Museum and shares a home with Matt Pool's Giant Coffee in the Merz building. The store is filled with designer clothing and accessories and is cleverly arranged to fit even more inventory than she had before — Bunky now carries books and housewares. None other than Hayes McNeil from Plus Minus Studio designed her modular space. The walls are lined with salvaged wood (you can even spy an old Pepsi can nailed into one of the wood panels). Bunky's got designer threads in a designer space with designer coffee, all in one spot? Oh, man, we are so there.
This cute girl named Olive needed a place to shack up, and turns out Paris Envy had some room upstairs, so a partnership of sorts was born. And we're so glad. This trend of sharing space is a wonderful byproduct of a slow economy, and we hope it keeps classy indie businesses like Paris Envy and Olive in Paris (the latest project from the ladies who brought us the sadly short-lived Olive Annie on Seventh Street) going strong. We drooled over a pair of vintage lamps at Paris Envy, a housewares shop with a shabby-chic French (obviously) vibe, and upstairs, we debated over a piece of handmade jewelry or a funky multi-colored belt. Both stores have so much style and personality and . . . sorry, but you'll have to excuse us because we need to go back and see whether those lamps are still there. Be right back!

It is a measure of Labor's predicament that the good news for the government in the latest Age/Nielsen poll is that Julia Gillard's - and the party's - standing did not take another hit after yet another messy week in Parliament.
Instead, the Prime Minister goes into the last sitting week before Parliament rises until the May budget with a confirmation of the very bleak set of numbers in last month's poll.
Although there could still be a push to change leaders, this seems most unlikely - with Kevin Rudd sticking to his commitment not to challenge, no obvious contender to lead a delegation to the PM, and no prospect of Ms Gillard acting on any such advice anyway.
Indeed, the emphatic ''I'm-not-for-flinching'' message from the Prime Minister in her expansive interview with this newspaper should give those who would destabilise cause for caution.
Similarly, Mr Rudd's St Patrick's Day attempts at humour - especially the gag that began with the words: ''It's time to announce that I will challenge . . .'' - will be seen by detractors as a self-indulgent reminder that he hasn't changed and is not a panacea for the government's problems.
Although Mr Rudd is seen as preferred prime minister by a margin of two to one, this will not help Labor MPs who are pondering what to do. The preference of Labor voters is not nearly so clear, with Rudd preferred by 51 per cent to Gillard's 48.
What is clear is that the Prime Minister's foray into western Sydney a fortnight ago, and elevation of the issue of 457 visas for foreign workers, have not changed voter perceptions in any meaningful way.
What is also apparent is that a well-received cultural policy, solid job figures and the passage through the house of the disability insurance scheme were overshadowed by ''white noise'' on other fronts - especially the reaction to proposed media reforms.
Although the shifts are not statistically significant, the raw figures show Ms Gillard and Labor have lost their edge over Tony Abbott and the Coalition in her home state of Victoria, and the Prime Minister's approval is marginally down in NSW, the state where she desperately needs to make headway.
While the poll results suggest something significant has to change - and change soon - for Labor to be competitive, the more likely scenario is this: Ms Gillard is not challenged and faces the hard slog of chipping away at the Coalition's lead in the months after the May budget and before the September 14 poll.
No one would dispute her statement to this reporter at the start of our weekend conversation - that she is in for the fight of her life.

To learn the law, you need to practice the law. That's why Boston University School of Law offers a vast selection of clinics, externships and semester-in-practice placements, where you gain real-world legal experience in courtrooms, law firms, nonprofit organizations, companies and government agencies.

Cover Photo: Michael Greenwald ('10), who completed a semester-in-practice at the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington, D.C., now works there full-time as an attorney in the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.
One of the first law schools in the nation to establish clinical programs supervised by full-time faculty, BU Law has consistently expanded its hands-on learning opportunities to provide "real-life" training to students with myriad legal interests and career goals.

"in a serious juvenile delinquency prosecution, i saw how our client's previous record influenced everyone's perceptions, even though there was little or no concrete evidence against him in the present case. that taught me the critical importance of keeping an open mind and working to discover the full, unbiased facts."
jared cohen, class of 2013
criminal law clinic: boston municipal court, boston juvenile court, quincy district court (2l spring, 3l fall) In his second semester in the Criminal Law Clinic, Jared Cohen functioned as a defense attorney with full responsibility for representing clients in criminal cases. Drawing on all the resources from his clinical coursework, Cohen learned to be a keen advocate for his clients —which could require vastly different skills and strategies in different circumstances. Cohen's experience in the Criminal Law Clinic helped him hone his courtroom skills and explore a potential career path as a prosecutor. He especially appreciated the opportunity to work in three different courts as a junior member of the clinic—for defendants in Boston Municipal and Juvenile Courts, and for the prosecution in Quincy District Court—before settling on defense work in Boston during his senior semester. Cohen says that his first valuable learning experience was seeing how courts really work on a daily basis. The criminal litigation process can be tortuous, and personalities and instinctive biases can often influence outcomes. He cites one case in which a young man was facing charges of assault and battery with a deadly weapon. While the defendant had an extensive record involving serious crimes and had spent time in a juvenile detention facility, the evidence for this offense seemed to clearly exonerate him. Yet it took months of investigation, discovery, in-court compliance dates, and attempts to approach the government before Cohen and his senior colleague were finally able to persuade an Assistant District Attorney to review the relevant evidence and dismiss the case.
erin hogan, class of 2013
civil litigation: asylum & human rights clinic (2l) While teaching English and working at a legal clinic in Madagascar as a Peace Corps volunteer, Erin Hogan witnessed a military coup in that island nation. Her personal experience with trying to help people living in an unstable country convinced her of the importance of the law: she applied to BU Law before returning to the United States. Hogan participated in the Asylum & Human Rights Clinic, where she was responsible for two asylum cases, both involving individuals who had been persecuted in their home countries. In addition to preparing her clients for court, drafting and filing documents and making the cases before an Immigration Court judge, Hogan helped her clients seek medical services and psychological counseling. The clinic also gave Hogan a rare opportunity: in collaboration with Professor Susan Akram and another student, she researched and wrote a stakeholders' report on Morocco's treatment of the Sahrawi people in Western Sahara. What's more, she traveled to Geneva to participate in the presentation of the report to the United Nations Human Rights Council for the Universal Periodic Review of Morocco. This transforming experience convinced Hogan to participate in BU Law's Semesterin-Practice program at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva, and to pursue a career in immigration and asylum law.
"i gained such strong practical skills from my clinic that i feel very prepared as a lawyer. asylum & human rights 45 was the perfect clinic for me. i've always been drawn to human rights, but i don't think i would have discovered immigration and refugee work without this experience."

"working on a lengthy case from beginning to end and handling every step of the process was an amazing and rare experience. and because my clinical work took place alongside my coursework, i could implement what i was learning in class immediately and get feedback both in the classroom and in court."
stephanie mills, class of 2013
civil litigation: housing, employment, family and disability clinic (2l) Stephanie Mills arrived at BU Law committed to helping victims of domestic violence, while still pursuing a career at a law firm practicing civil litigation. Her work in the Housing, Employment, Family and Disability Clinic gave her the skills and experience to land the perfect job—as a litigator at a Chicago law firm with an active pro bono program in domestic violence. Knowing that Mills had volunteered at the Domestic Violence Institute at BU-affiliated Boston Medical Center during her first year of law school, Professor Constance Browne, her clinical supervising attorney, quickly identified a divorce case involving domestic violence as one that would both draw on Mills's experience and help her develop important client counseling and litigation skills. Mills represented the wife in the case, which became increasingly complex. She delivered several oral arguments at hearings in front of the judge, secured the appointment of a guardian ad litem to represent the children's interests, prepared and responded to discovery requests, participated in settlement discussions, and drafted a settlement agreement. Mills handled the case through both semesters and even saw it through to completion after her clinic ended, securing a favorable settlement for her client on the eve of trial. Mills credits her coursework in trial advocacy for teaching her how to strategize about the trajectory of a case as well as the practical skills of interviewing clients, drafting documents, and speaking in court. And she credits her time in the courtroom and her work with her domestic violence case for giving her the confidence to succeed in a career in litigation.

michael lezaja, class of 2012
clerk, u.s. court of federal claims, washington, d.c. (2012-2013) semester-in-practice at u.s. department of justice, division of antitrust (3l)
An alumnus of Georgetown with an interest in politics and economics, Michael Lezaja was a paralegal at the Federal Trade Commission before law school and always considered returning to the nation's capital. The Semester-in-Practice, which he pursued during his final semester, was an ideal opportunity. After discussing options with Professor Sean Kealy, Lezaja set his sights on the Department of Justice. His placement was in the National Criminal Enforcement Section of the DOJ's Antitrust Division, which handles international criminal conspiracies, primarily involving price fixing. In his position, Lezaja was immersed in legal research and writing for cases being prosecuted in district courts all over the country. "The legal writing program at BU Law is excellent, but the demands of day-in, day-out legal writing gave me much-needed practice," he says. "I think that because I was working full time, I was given better assignments and was able to work more collaboratively with the DOJ staff attorneys." Lezaja, who participated in staff meetings and trainings on substantive areas of antitrust law, stresses how important it was for him to simply observe lawyers and their interactions with witnesses and one another, and notes that his mentors gave him valuable advice about preparing for his clerkship.
legislative programs our legislative programs give you the chance to understand the legislative process at a deeper level by seeing firsthand how laws are drafted, debated, passed and interpreted. students in these programs have made real contributions to actual legislation. in both programs, you will work 12 to 20 hours per week in the field and participate in faculty-led seminars. In the American Legislative Practice program, you can choose to work with legislators at the Massachusetts State House, or to review and draft legislation in-house at BU Law in partnership with legislators, government agencies and nonprofit advocacy organizations. Massachusetts is an excellent site for learning about lawmaking because it has an active, full-time legislature known for taking up controversial measures that in recent years have included gay marriage, stem cell research and universal health care.
The Africa i-Parliaments option enables you to help strengthen African democracies, working remotely from Boston to draft evidence-based legislation and build capacity in the African Parliaments Knowledge Network. Students have worked on a wide range of legislation; two examples are a petroleum bill in Uganda and an electric bill in Liberia.

"when i was doing the research for my report on the anti-human trafficking bill, i grasped the true importance of the legislation—its effect on real people's lives. i'm glad i could make a difference in the final law, which i hope will deter this crime in the future."
michael ayzen, class of 2011
staff attorney, committee for public counsel services, springfield, massachusetts. american legislative practice in-house clinic (3l) When Mike Ayzen began the American Legislative Practice Program, he thought he could help get an anti-human trafficking bill out of committee. Little did he realize that he would do that and much more. Ayzen identified an additional horrific dimension to the practice of human trafficking. His contribution became part of Massachusetts law when Governor Deval Patrick signed the bill a few months after Ayzen's graduation. Beginning his work by conferring with the staff of Senator Mark Montigny, the author of the legislation, Ayzen realized that the language about sentencing provisions needed to be more specific. He analyzed the bill, comparing it with similar legislation in California and New York, and called attention to new issues. In this process, Ayzen realized that the bill covered human trafficking only for the purposes of prostitution and labor—but not for selling organs or body parts. This addition was his unique contribution to the bill, and to the eventual law. By the time of the signing, BU Law student Tashena Nobrega was interning for Senator Montigny and helped the conference committee hammer out the final language. Since graduation, Ayzen has been a staff attorney for the public defender in Springfield. He says that his Legislative Program work has helped him better understand and work with new legislation that affects his clients.
transactional law program bu law's transactional law program addresses an important need in today's legal environment. law firms expect their new hires—from the time they start practicing—to increasingly contribute in a meaningful way to the representation of clients. to be prepared, you need a foundational set of practice skills that you can apply on your first day on the job. The principal goal of our Transactional Law Program is to provide these skills to students seeking a career in transactional practice and to those who will need these skills at some point in their careers, regardless of the specific area of legal practice they pursue.
You will gain valuable proficiency in the drafting, analysis and negotiation of contracts, and in various other practice skills required of transactional practitioners. You may pursue a concentration in transactional practice, or take a few courses in the program. Either way, you will have access to wide-ranging courses and will learn key practice skills taught by our faculty and seasoned transactional practitioners.
kent coit
professor of the practice of law director, transactional law program Kent Coit joined the BU Law faculty after retiring as a partner in the Boston office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, where he practiced in the firm's Mergers & Acquisitions Department for nearly 30 years. In addition to his wealth of experience in transactional practice, Coit has a passion for teaching and mentoring law students and young lawyers. He directed Skadden's Summer Associate M&A Training Program in Boston, for which he designed innovative transaction simulations. He also served as attorney development partner, responsible for developing and implementing an associate mentoring program, and was an instructor in various associate training programs.
"clients want their attorneys to be business-savvy and provide sound business, as well as legal, judgment and advice. our transactional law program helps bridge the gap between what students learn in traditional law school classes and what they face when they enter the legal practice arena."
If you want a successful start to your legal career, you need to develop practical lawyering skills and a professional network before you graduate from law school. Employers expect you to be ready on day one to work with clients, draft and analyze contracts, file briefs, and take on the professional responsibilities that attorneys face in the real world. At BU Law, you will experience the real demands of the legal profession by participating in our clinics, externships and transactional practice program. You will learn from experienced practitioners, and you will build your professional network. You will literally begin your career at BU Law.
The student-to-faculty ratio in BU Law's clinical programs is between 5:1 and 8:1. BU Law's clinical supervisors average 20 years of experience per instructor. The head of the Transactional Practice program has nearly 30 years of professional experience in mergers and acquisitions.

By REV. JUDI WIEGMAN
Our move from the flat prairie land of Texas to the rolling hills and curvy roads of Western Pennsylvania has challenged us in many ways. Getting from point A to point B may seem like an easy run but it is a good idea to follow the GPS designed for the area.

- NJPapi's All Madden Sliders V3.5 Post Patch
NJPapi1977 9 years ago#1
What is Updated:
I made changes to the set which would help the overall enjoyment of the game for those that are dead set on All Madden. I first started to tweak the passing game and took the feedback of some that had issues with the cpu completing to many passes. I decided to lower the qb accuracy for the cpu and and max out their pass blocking. What I have seen is a lot of more overthrows and throws into the ground. This did not affect the interceptions since this just makes the cpu throw all inaccurate at times. specially to the hardest pass to defend the slants or curls. This balances out the pass game and pass defense much better. You will still see the top qb's throw accurately but that is to be expected. But scrubs like Jackson or Alex Smith or Orton wont be throwing 300 yards on you.
The pass blocking was maxed out because if lowered then any pressure on the qb will make them throw errant throws that can be picked off easily. you can still get sacks if you blitz on the right downs or do stunts on the d-line. Coverage sacks seem to happen more now with these new changes which are a good thing.
The qb accuracy was also lowered for the human because I have been throwing on the run with ease with any qb.. Now I cant dominate with scrub qb's and not all throws are easy to make if you are on the move. But this will be a good change because I lowered the knockdown slider for the cpu and lowered the break block to give you max protection to scan and set your feet. You will still get sacked if you dont decided fast but not as crazy as before.
The run game stays the same except I raised the rb ability for humans to 50 in order to get more positive results. and with the lowered break block for the cpu you wont get stuff as much and they wont jump the snap as much.
Since the qb accuracy for the cpu was lowered then the only defensive slider that matters is the knocdown slider. this was maxed because is hard to swat at times but now if you have postion then it can become a thing of second nature. but you wont be batting down all passes because the human awareness was lowered to 0 which i believe is the best set to have it at so that you dont dominate the cpu.
My last game I beat the Eagles with the packers and Donovan had this stat line: 21-40 for 275 yards and 2 td's and 1 pick
Their run game was decent with Westbrook 18 rushes for 85 yards and no fumbles
I won the game 31-17 which is a realistic outcome for all madden with these sliders.
Also check out my new sub out and sub in sliders
All Madden Sliders:
Here is my SUB Out and IN:
NJPapi1977 (Topic Creator)9 years ago#2
All Madden Sliders
Weapons On
Penalties: On
Fatigue: On
Quarter Length: 9 minutes ( Will give you about 120 plays between both sides if you do not skip the cut scenes which happens right after every whistle)
Play Clock: On
Off sides: 5 (This will help ease the high amount of jump snap penalties that the cpu gets. Is important because in order to avoid gettting sacked by the lineman jumping blitzes you need to hard count)
False Start: 80 (A poster brought up a point that by raising this we will be punished for using the hard count to excessive. Still use it on PA and short yardage)
Holding: 54 ( This was lowered a bit due to the high amount of holds made during kickoff returns)
Facemask: 100 (This slider does nothing since it is never called)
Offensive PI: 100 (If you try and bump the defender to get the ball you will be penalized)
Defensive PI: 100 ( Defenders wont get away with bumping you after 5 yards)
KR/PR Interference: 100 (Does nothing )
Clipping: 50 (At anything higher the return game is voided by dumb calls)
INT Grounding: 100 ( I have been called for 2 of these in my last game, I was being pressured and throw the ball away still in the pocket)
Roughing Passer: 0 (This was lowered because I got called a lot for hitting the qb late eventhough I dove as he was about to release the ball)
Roughing Kicker: 0 (I like to try and block kicks but I always seem to hit the kicker with my nails. Now is better but still called a lot for just breathing on him)
NJPapi1977 (Topic Creator)9 years ago#3
Human Offense:
QB Accuracy: 46 ( This will prevent dead accurate throws on the run and off the back foot with the lowering of the cpu defensive sliders)
Pass Blocking: 100 ( This was raised out in order to help those that have issues blocking but it will still get you sacked if you dont throw fast enough)
WR Catching: 70 ( Believe it or not you will still drop a few but now you wont drop passes just because you were hit)
RB Ability: 50 (The human run game is to easy if you dont use turbo therefore this will make it harder to have easy 150 yard games like I am having)
Run Blocking: 0 (This has to be lowered to this because if you raise then is to easy to run for 150 every game with any back)
CPU Offense:
QB Accuracy: 46 ( I put this at this set becaue it kind of seperates the best from the worst and provies more balance)
Pass Blocking: 100 (Try not to abuse nano blitzes)
WR Catching: 0 ( This still allows the cpu to catch almost all passes but they do drop big passes here and there or when being hit on the spot of catching the rock)
RB Ability: 60 ( I feel that anything higher will result in at least 1 o 2 long runs by the cpu where they become god... (This has worked great)
Run Blocking: 100 ( The run blocking will be felt nicely at this set and if you guys use your swing move and power moves on blockers, you will be able to free yourself)
NJPapi1977 (Topic Creator)9 years ago#4
Human Defense:
Awareness: 0 (This slider has to be at 0 if you do not want to pick the cpu off 5 times a game. If you play the right coverage and play smart you will still be able to shut down teams with a solid defense)
Knockdowns: 100 ( This will allow you to swat more balls but not as many as I would like. The key to swatting the ball is not to use sprint while doing it or it wont work)
Interceptions: 0 ( This as everybody knows should be at 0 )
Break Block: 0 ( This is fine at 0 which will lead to major battles vs the power run teams)
Tackling: 100 ( This will help in making tackles vs elusive backs and power backs, just make sure you straff and let go of that hit stick)
CPU Defense:
Awareness: 30 ( This takes into affect the post patch affect. Now you will be able to throw over the middle more and have less super cpu efforts. The cpu will still be aggressive on All Madden but now is more of the users bad throws)
Knockdowns: 5 (This will help the cpu challenge deep throws and the much easier to complete post and outs)
Interceptions: 0 ( See human side of things)
Break Block: 20 ( This helps the cpu stop the run and lowers the sack totals against you)
Tackling: 50 ( The cpu at this level does a good job making the tackles they should and not have all tackles bee huge hits like this was Blitz)
NJPapi1977 (Topic Creator)9 years ago#5
Human Special Teams:
FG Power: 16 ( At this level I find enough of a challenge for me but feel free to test your own skill set)
FG Accuracy: 6 ( This will allow more accuracy on long field goals)
Punt Power: 49 (This will increse the punt return stats)
Punt Accuracy: 52 (Standard slider)
Kickoff Power: 7 ( This will kick the ball to the middle of the endzone and is up to you to kick it lower in power to have a return or just kick it if you think the scores are to high and you dont want the cpu to start at the 40 all the time)
CPU Special Team:
FG Power: 16 ( This has worked fine for me as I have seen missed field goals and some easy field goals being missed)
FG Accuracy: 6 ( Cpu was missing way to many easy field goals wide left)
Punt Power: 49 ( See human side)
Punt Accuracy: 52 ( See human side)
Kickoff Power: 7 ( You gonna take it out of the endzone anyway...)

Your sliders would have me destroyed in the running game. I was awesome running the ball in 07' for the Nintendo Game Cube, now in Madden 08 for the 360 I'm having a hard time running with L.T. And I fumble the ball at least once a game because I run with him so much even though I COVER UP THE GOD DANG BALL!!! I watch in replay and he just seems to drop it on his own. It makes me so unbelievably mad!!!!! Gang tackles seem to nulify covering up the ball. TOTAL B.S.

I just played a game with these sliders (with very slight modifications) on All-Pro and it was the most exciting game I've played in Madden yet. My Lions beat the 49'ers 27-22. Crazy game that I probably should of lost, but I got so many turn overs my way I couldn't.
~~~ Lions
Kitna threw for 161 yards with 1 TD and 3 INT (threw a 79 yard TD pass to Calvin Johnson), 41% completion
Kevin Jones rushed for 127 yards on 26 carries (4.8 AVG) with 1 TD and 1 fumble. (He had a 3.6 AVG in 1st half)
Team sacked Alex Smith 6 times
Team caused 4 forced fumbles
~~~ 49'ers
Alex Smith threw for 241 yards with 1 TD and 2 INT, 51% completion
Frank Gore rushed for 10 yards on 13 carries (0.7 AVG) with 1 fumble
Team sacked Jon Kitna 3 times
Team caused 1 forced fumble
I need serious help with my passing game. I am bad with it and when I feel pressure I throw to whoever I'm looking at no matter how well he's covered. I tend to stare at one side of the field and forget about my running backs. My passing % is always low and I need help.

THE Health Service Union (HSU) has voiced concern over a shortage of high dependency mental health facilities on the South Coast that could see at-risk patients on the streets.
Shellharbour Hospital's Eloura West unit is a secure observation unit for mental health patients and provides the highest level of mental health care on the South Coast.
The issue was brought to light following an incident where a patient at the Eloura West unit died on July 31. A fellow patient has been charged with murder.
HSU regional organiser for the Illawarra/Shoalhaven Andrew Gorman said only nine high-need beds were available at the facility. That number has been reduced to six since the incident on July 31.
"From Helensburgh to Ulladulla, the Shellharbour unit is the only high dependency facility on the South Coast," Mr Gorman said. "It is just not enough for the amount of people in the area."
Currently two investigations on the July 31 incident are being conducted; by Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) and NSW Health.
Mr Gorman said following the incident it was brought to his attention that a patient with high needs was in a low-dependency unit.
"This situation creates a problem that puts other patients and staff in danger of serious injury if a patient is to go off the rails," Mr Gorman said.
"There needs to be a place available for people that need high dependency help or that need to be institutionalised, so as to avoid putting high-need patients in a low-dependency unit where they don't get the treatment they require or they get sent home."
ISLHD declined to comment on the matter at this point, as investigations were still under way.
The mental health facility at Shellharbour Hospital also came under fire in 2011, when patient Suzie Oneeglio was found dead in an Albion Park house eight weeks after leaving the Eloura unit.
She had apparently overdosed on an anti-psychotic drug combined with alcohol.
Ms Oneeglio suffered from manic depression and before her death had spent six years in various NSW public mental health wards. Her family said failures in the health system had contributed to her death and alleged that medication she was prescribed (valium), lack of communication between state facilities and the environment had encouraged her manic behaviour.
Mr Gorman said the union hoped that by drawing attention to the issue, another high dependency ward would be considered to cater for the population.
A NSW Department of Health spokesperson said they had appointed a chief psychiatrist to conduct a clinical review of the facility on the July 31 incident.
UPDATE: An ABC report came out today (August 26) about the Eloura West facility with unions stating that nurses feared for their safety and the safety of patients.
Brett Holmes from the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association told the ABC there had been problems at the unit for years and recent reports of physical assault.
Lorraine Long from the Medical Error Action Group said she received information five-six weeks ago that staff were fearful someone would be killed.
An anonymous email sent to the the action group said: "There is a massive alcohol epidemic in Shellharbour and violence is a daily occurrence. The hospital has a Zero Tolerance Policy yet refuses to use the flagging/contract system of violent repeat offenders.
"Many staff have been assaulted, continuously there are incident reports, yet they always lead nowhere. Calls for 24/7 security fall on deaf ears. I believe someone shall be seriously attacked soon."

|When the Sixers take the floor tonight there's no way to tell if they'll be the attacking team we saw in Atlanta last night. Will they be the team that smothered the Hawks on defense, or the team that couldn't get a stop or hit a shot against Charlotte two nights early? The sad fact is, it doesn't matter. The real question is whether Miami will continue to toy with the league and rest LeBron James and Dwyane Wade (neither has played since their streak ended on March 27th).
|LeBron, Wade and the other 10 guys who ride their coattails think nothing of peaking too early. Tonight, they look to press their NBA season-best winning streak to 20 games. The Sixers, look to improve upon their 18-16 record at home and throw a few more ping pong balls out the window.
Latest comment: from Dollar BillDon't know how the above was posted as I was sleeping at the time. There's nothin' like 3-day old comments for breakfast though. ...
|The defending champs, winners of 16 straight, playing host to our cursed, bottoming-out Philadelphia 76ers, losers of three straight and 9 of 10. Yeah, this one shouldn't be close.
Latest comment: from GoSixersA problem of their own making...serves em right...
|If the Sixers can muster every last bit of hustle, swarm the ball, hit their open long twos and Miami has an off game, the Sixers might just be able to only lose by about 15 points tonight. Excited?
|The Sixers entered this game with a talent deficit. Even with Dwyane Wade out, the Heat have more top-end talent. The way to overcome that deficit is to identify an advantage and press it. And keep pressing it until the other team has to do something drastic to take away, then you exploit their fix. Tonight, Doug Collins had a huge advantage handed to him in the first half, and he completely let the Heat off the hook. (game capsule).
|For the fourth time in this abbreviated season, the Sixers will face an irritated Miami Heat team. On Sunday, the Heat were embarrassed on ABC by the Celtics. They've been playing mediocre basketball, especially on the road, since the All Star break. Tonight, they return home where they sport a 21-2 record and will assuredly be looking to right exact some revenge against the Sixers.
|After playing three halves of what was entirely unrecognizable as Sixers defensive basketball, Philly's spine finally showed up in a big way for the second half tonight against the Miami Heat. Unfortunately, the hole they dug for themselves was way too deep and they couldn't help but shoot themselves in the foot a couple of times late in the game. (game capsule)
|The Sixers entered an extremely tough trio of games on Wednesday night against the Pacers. They entered needing to pick up one win in the three, then laid an egg against the Pacers. That throttling left them the enviable task of picking up a win either tonight, against an irate Miami Heat team, or tomorrow night against the Bulls squad that incensed the Heat on Wednesday. A tall order, indeed.
|36 minutes just doesn't cut it when you're playing a team like the Heat. The Sixers matched them step-for-step through three quarters. Answered every run, threw in a couple of their own, beat them at their own game, but when the Heat put their foot on the gas in the fourth, the Sixers just had nothing left in the tank. No answer at all. (game capsule)
|Sporting two of the top five players in the league along with a top-15 big to clean up their sloppy seconds, the Heat are really a team of three. They have a couple guys who play their roles relatively well, but the big two-plus-Bosh are the engine behind a team that's capable of beating anyone when they play as a team, but more likely to get caught up in their individual greatness than team success. The question is how do the Sixers get the Heat superstars into a one-on-one game?
|There's no shame in losing to the Miami Heat in Miami, especially not when you're short your starting center, playing against a rested team when you're on the second night of a back-to-back. There's no shame in the loss, at all, but sometimes it's not if you lose, but how you lose that defines you as a team. What we saw in the second half last night was not characteristic of this Sixers team. (game capsule)

Academic Day 2007 focuses on Xavier's mission and identity
The seventh annual event includes several panel and town hall-style discussions on the subject and an update on the University | October 23, 2007
The theme was inspired from a group of faculty who were invited last fall to read and discuss the book The Catholic University as Promise and Project by Michael J. Buckley, S.J., and they invited Buckley to be among initial and primary speakers at the daylong event.
Buckley joined other Jesuit education scholars during the first panel discussion of the day to not only discuss the subject but to also set the tone for the remaining activities, which also included an interfaith service, faculty panel discussion following lunch and a town hall-style discussion in the afternoon.
Academic vice president and provost Roger Fortin concluded the day's formal events with an update about events about the University. Calling his concluding talk "The Wind is at Our Backs: This is Xavier's Finest Hour," he examined Xavier's present and near future by recounting pieces of its past.
Much like those in the early part of the 20th century saw the University expand out of downtown and the new campus grow with the construction of buildings along what is now Xavier's Academic Mall, he said, so too will those at the University now see vast changes and growth to the University, both in terms of physical structures and academic advances. He pointed to the Xavier Square project and the Academic Quad development as changes that will have a profound impact on the way Xavier both looks and learns.
These new buildings are the windows to Xavier's future, he said, and these windows will be open wide within the next four years creating a new teaching and learning environment. The academic quad is inevitable, he said. The University has sufficient funds, the trustees have approved it and the momentum is strong.
"Let me quote you from an alumnus in 1913 who wrote about the move from downtown to Avondale," he said. "'Is it too much to expect that in the not too distant future, alumni will come to campus from the east and west with brightening eyes and shining hearts and see a much bigger campus than the downtown location?' Well in the next three to four years, alumni from today will be returning to this campus, with brightening eyes and shining hearts, and see a bigger and better Xavier University as well."
Fortin actually kicked off Academic Day earlier in the week when he was joined by John O'Malley, S. J., in a discussion about the history of Jesuit education in general and Xavier in particular. In hopes of expanding the conversation beyond a single day, that talk and other events were organized preceding Academic Day. In addition, two small, informal discussion sessions were held on the topic of mission and identity. A wide range of faculty, with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, were also invited to submit short essays reflecting on Xavier's mission and identity.
Academic Day began in 2001. Its intent is to celebrate the University's academic life with a day of presentations, speeches and student performances centered on a certain realm of academics. Previous Academic Days have focused on:
• "Learning, Faith, Service: Crossroads in the Academy."
• "The Xavier Experience"
• "Ethics: Educating for a Good Society"
• "Perspectives on Diversity"
• Proposals for new honors program on "Philosophy, Politics and the Public" and a new interdisciplinary minor on "Catholicism and Culture"
• A new academic vision statement that was crafted by faculty as a road map for the University's direction for the next decade.

Font of knowledge
Page Tools
I have a confession to make. I don't tell just anyone this, but I'm a fontaholic. There's no AA for those of us with font addictions so we simply have to soldier on.
I recall with fondness my first Windows computer and typefaces such as the early Microsoft Script that made documents look like handwriting from an earlier century. OK, so some of us just never grow out of our love affair with type.
Fonts are installed with Windows or Mac OS and more come with programs that you install, particularly graphics and publishing programs. So you'll already have lots of fonts on your computer and, to view these, in a program such as Microsoft Word, choose Format, Fonts and you'll see them listed.
These same fonts are accessible by all programs running under Windows and the situation is similar on the Mac.
You are not limited to the fonts that come with your computer. Additional fonts can be purchased at a computer store or over the internet. In addition, there are plenty of free downloads on the web.
Font sites vary from the appalling to the wonderful. Appalling sites are littered with advertising, pop-ups and adware whereas the best are clean and slick and are a pleasant browsing experience.
Sites that I visit include CreativeSpirits.net. The fonts here are ordered by name but there's a handy display of new faces, the site's top fonts and a random font.
When you see one you like, click on it to view all the characters in the family and the download link. These are for Windows computers only. While you're there, check the wonderful Rebuffed font, my personal favourites, Scriptina and Snipple, and don't leave until you've browsed the dingbats. Dingbat fonts worthy of downloading include Mythology 1 and Eisenbahn, 50s Yesterdings and African Design.
Batty about dingbats
Dingbat fonts are composed of shapes and pictures rather than characters. Some are sophisticated enough to be used in place of images.
For example, in Microsoft Word, place a dingbat font character in a text box, right-click the text box and choose Format Text Box, Colors and Lines tabs, set the Line Color to No Line, click the Layout tab and set the Wrapping to Tight.
Now move the dingbat image around on the page, much as you would a regular image. The characters can also be coloured by formatting them with a font colour.
Not for the fainthearted, the Misprinted Type site contains some wonderful grunge fonts, some of which look as if they have been scratched with a fingernail on a scratchboard. In fact, nail scratch was, most likely, created in that way.
My final, "must visit" site is Font Garden. Here, each font is shown at work and displayed as an amusing phrase or joke. There is also an older archive of Mac fonts available for download here. It's a site to browse and enjoy.
Install fonts
Once you have downloaded a font it must be installed before you can use it. If you are using Windows XP, unzip the font's zip file by double clicking it and choose Extract to access its contents.
To install the font, choose Start, Control Panel, Fonts and, when the Font dialog appears, choose File, Install New Font. Browse to locate the font file, select it and click OK to install it. Now it can be used in any Windows program.
On the Mac, use a program such as Stuffit Expander to expand the font file. Locate your library\fonts folder and drag the font files into this folder.
The ultimate indulgence is a custom font of your own handwriting. Aussie Graham Gupp makes fonts for people all over the world at his site.
He can create a font to suit your budget and these install as would any other Windows font. It's a fun way to preserve your own and, perhaps, your parents' handwriting as a font for the future.

The secondary school league tables published today reveal Sutton's GCSE results.
The best performing schools were Wallington High School for Girls and Sutton Grammar School where 100 per cent of pupils achieved A* to C grades in English and Maths last year.
They were closely followed by Wilson's School, Wallington County Grammar and Nonsuch High School for Girls which achieved 99 per cent A* to C grades in English and Maths last year.
The most improved schools include Greenshaw High School where 76 per cent of pupils achieved five or more A* to C GCSEs last year compared to 68 per cent in 2011.
The John Fisher School, which is voluntary aided, saw their results increase from 72 per cent achieving five or more A* to C GCSEs since 2009 to 80 per cent in 2012.
The lowest performing schools were Stanley Park High School and Carshalton Boys Sports College which both saw a decline in their results on previous years.
At Stanley Park High School 35 per cent of pupils achieved five or more A* to C GCSEs last year - compared to 42 per cent the year before.
46 per cent of pupils achieved five or more A* to C GCSEs at Carshalton Boys Sports College last year. However, in 2011 they achieved 53 per cent.
In a list of the best GCSE in the country Sutton Grammar School came 19th and Wallington High School for Girls came 26th.
Councillor Dave Callaghan, chair of children, family and education committee said: "The continued hard work of the students, headteachers, staff, governors, parents, and carers in Sutton's secondary schools has again produced excellent overall results.

Samsung Electronics enjoys Q1 profit jump
In spite of memory slide
Samsung Electronics has shown it's handling the memory price slide by posting net profits of 1.24 trillion won ($940 million) for the first quarter of 2001.
Sales for the period were 8.6 trillion won ($6.54 billion), down 5.5 per cent from the 9.1 trillion won ($6.92 billion) for the last three months of 2000. Net profits for that quarter were 1.16 trillion won ($880 million).
Samsung's chip business accounted for 35 per cent of its sales for the quarter at 3.0 trillion won ($2.28 billion). This was down nine per cent from the previous quarter. Two thirds of this was memory sales. But the company made a 1.2 trillion won ($910 million) cut in capital expenditure, solely from the semiconductor business.
Samsung's TFT LCD sales hit 500 billion won ($380 million). ®

Impossible I-1 cameras will be available to use with free I-type film from Impossible and attendees can also bring their own I-1 cameras.
Plus there will be special offers in the Bookshop for all attendees.

Dante's Fire marries cocktails, cuisine
Jon Tuck likes to think of his initial restaurant journey as the marriage of cocktails and cuisine.
Both sides will get equal attention at Dante's Fire Cocktails & Cuisine, 2526 E. Grant Road, in the space that housed Rio Cafe until it closed in January.
Tuck and his chef partner have put the bar in the dining room, breaking down the barriers of bar and restaurant.
"We are bringing the food- and beverage-making experience all together and involving the guest in the entire process," explained Tuck, a 20-year veteran of the restaurant industry.
Dante's Fire will specialize in craft cocktails driven by fresh ingredients from juices to simple syrups infused with lemon and lime juice instead of pre-made mixes. Speciality drinks include a cucumber martini with cucumber foam and a jalapeno margarita with jalapeno-infused tequila. Cocktail prices range from $5.50 to $9. (There's also a category on the menu called "Fraud" that features non-alcoholic versions of cocktails including the "Nojito" take off of the mojito.)
Tuck describes the food menu as classically inspired American continental - beef carpaccio is among the offerings - served as fine-food versions of tapas. Prices run $7 to $14 and the idea is to essentially make a meal of appetizer-sized plates that skip the starches.
Tuck said he plans to open Monday.

After 28 years, OV Spot calling it quits
Nearly 30 years of pizza making will come to an end next weekend.
La Madrina Pizza and Pasta has made savory pies, pastas and sandwiches at its modest storefront shop on the southeast corner of North Oracle and West Magee roads in Oro Valley for 28 years.
Brandon O'Leary, who has owned the restaurant for nine years, said he can no longer afford to keep the doors open. He said the restaurant, which has four full-time employees, has been "operating in the red for the last 10 months." He blamed a shrinking customer pool, increased competition and higher operating expenses, including recent jumps in the minimum wage.
La Madrina opened in 1985. La Madrina retains a loyal neighborhood following, he said.
"We've had families that have been in there for 28 years and telling them that we have to close is pretty heartbreaking. It's a punch to the stomach," said O'Leary, 33.
La Madrina will be open at least through April 28; O'Leary said he will open after that if there is food left. Hours: 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, until 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from noon to 8 p.m. Sundays.
Smashburger working on 2nd Tucson location
Tucson will get its second Smashburger restaurant late this summer
The restaurant, franchised by the Denver, Colo.-based chain, will open in late July in a former scrap-booking shop at 3837 E. Broadway, on the corner of Broadway and North Alvernon Way.
It is the second of at least four Smashburgers planned for Tucson, said Bob Lanska, general manager of the city's first Smashburger in Crossroads Festival.
Lanska said the local franchisee has identified a spot for the third restaurant and is scouting the southside and northwest side for possible locations for the fourth.
"If things go well, we'll think about opening a fifth," he added.
Smashburger opened at 4821 E. Grant Road in November.
Caribbean restaurant takes place of Mr. K's
A Caribbean restaurant has slipped into the storefront space that long housed Mr. K's BBQ on South Park Avenue.
Cassandra Singh opened Caribbean Steam at 1830 S. Park Ave. on April 1. This is her first restaurant venture.
Singh has no restaurant experience, although she owned and ran a grocery store in San Diego until the soured economy took its toll several years ago.
She moved to Tucson 2 1/2 years ago and decided she wanted to do something different.
"Cooking is something that I like to do as a hobby at home," she said.
Caribbean Steam - the name plays off Tucson's desert heat - has a menu that incudes several curries including curried goat; jerk chicken and the ocassional jerk pork; oxtails; fried chicken; steamed vegetables; rice and peas; and stewed chicken. Entrees are priced from $5 to $15.
Caribbean Steam is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Details: 373-5172.

Ballet teacher cleared of racial harassment despite 'deplorable' comment
A leading ballet teacher has been cleared of racial harassment, despite a court finding he made a "deplorable and ill-considered" antisemitic remark in the presence of a Jewish student.
Jonathan Barton told a group of pupils at Scotland's prestigious Ballet West school: "You look like a bunch of Jews lining up waiting to be shot in the rain."
He then asked whether anyone there was Jewish, and when Genevieve Huss, the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, raised her hand, he apologised, Oban Sheriff Court heard this week.
Mr Barton, 31, of Taynuilt, Argyll, was accused of causing alarm and distress to Ms Huss, but was found to have no case to answer.
Sheriff Douglas Small said prosecutors had failed to provide evidence that Mr Barton — a renowned ballet dancer who has worked with the English National Ballet — had acted with "malice or ill will" when he made the comment in December 2010.
Ms Huss, 20, gave evidence on Monday, telling the court: "I was shocked in a very bad way that a comment would even be made like that in this day and age. I just think it shouldn't be made. It was unnecessary — there was no reason for it."
But during cross-examination by defence lawyer Gary McAteer, she admitted the remark could have been made "innocently" and that she believed Mr Barton "liked her".
Sheriff Small concluded: "It is my opinion that while the remarks made by the accused were made, and were deplorable and ill-considered, they do not, in all the circumstances, amount to a sufficiency in law for the case to proceed."
Following the trial, Mr McAteer claimed Mr Barton's father was Jewish and that he had been "very supportive" of his son.
Mr Barton has previously been awarded the Solo Seal of the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and won a medal at the prestigious Genée International Ballet Competition.
Off-stage, he has appeared as a dancer in a number of music videos and pop concerts. He was also the lead teacher for Scotland's largest gathering of male dancers, the RAD's Boys Only.

A well lived life leaves a legacy of missions. Missions that transform not only ourselves, but others.
Why do people who believe they lived in a previous life always think that they were Joan of Arc or Alexander the Great in their celestial past?

We bask in the light.
Over time, light has become synonymous with joy. It caresses our optimism, understanding and revelation. Darkness has become the portent of despair, ignorance, death. A pall is cast over our dreams by naysayers. They tell us the reasons we won't succeed. The Sixties' "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius" was a vibrant renaissance for positive change. Its light bathed hopes.
Darkness can only shadow your dreams if you doubt.
