""Brain and brain! What is brain?!
The brain is the chunk of fat that sits at the terminus of the central nervous system and helps coordinate sensory input, motor activity, and behavior. Most animals have something similar to a brain, though the level of complexity differs greatly across taxa. We've all got a brain (well, most of us anyways) and only some of us think with it.[citation NOT needed]
In humans the brain is involved in thought, emotion, desire, action, choice, memories, and sensory processing. Other parts of the nervous system can do some basic preprocessing and all parts are needed, but the brain is in charge. Many people believe that the mind is not totally reducible to the brain.[1] This idea is rejected by most neurologists as unscientific and unnecessary to explain the function of the mind.

Basic anatomy of the human brain[edit]
The first part to understanding anatomy is to understand directional terms. There are three axes: top to bottom, front to back, and left to right of center. The top is referred to as dorsal, the bottom as ventral(sometimes superior and inferior as well). The front is anterior and the back is posterior, while those areas in the center of the brain are medial and those moving to the left or right side are lateral.
The human brain is anatomically referenced based on several distinct and universal features. The most notable is the medial longitudinal fissure, which is a wide gap that separates the brain into two hemispheres (right and left). Moving from the middle of the fissure down the sides of the brain is the central sulcus. From the side view of the brain another sulcus (or gap) can be seen just below the central sulcus, running from the bottom front to about halfway back. This is the superior temporal sulcus.
The brain has two major divisions, cortical and sub-cortical. The cortical structures are on the outside of the brain and are the folds of gray and white matter that most people picture as being the brain. Below that are the sub-cortical structures.
There are four major lobes in the cortex each playing a dominant role in different functions. The frontal lobe is the whole section of the brain that is anterior to the central sulcus and ventral to the superior temporal sulcus. The parietal lobe is posterior to the central sulcus and ventral to the superior temproal sulcus. The temporal lobe is dorsal to the superior temporal sulcus. Finally, there is the occipital lobe, which is at the most posterior region of the cortex.
The frontal lobe is associated with executive function, logical thought, planning, motivation, and many of the "higher order" brain functions. The parietal lobe contains the sensory cortex, and is responsible for a large portion of sensory integration. The temporal lobe is associated with memory and learning. The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the brain.
Brain size and intelligence[edit]
Carl Sagan suggested that the advent of Caesarean sections and in vitro fertilization may permit humans to evolve larger heads, resulting in improvements via natural selection in the heritable component of human intelligence [2] However neurological functions are determined more by the organization of the brain rather than the volume, Neanderthal cranial capacity for females was 1300 cm3 and 1600 cm3 for males, [3] while among modern Homo Sapiens, northern populations have a 20% larger visual cortex than those in the southern latitude populations, and this potentially explains the population differences in brain size (and roughly cranial capacity). [4] [5] Either way, gigantic heads remain a long standing cliche for abnormally intelligent characters in science fiction.
Evolution of the human brain[edit]
The human brain has several unique features, most notably a massively expanded frontal lobe and significant anatomical specification throughout the frontal lobe tissue. Other areas linked to language processing are also highly developed. This massive expansion of the frontal lobe does not seem to coincide with any immediate changes in survival skills for the human species. Many early hypotheses for the evolutionary pressures leading to this expansion (such as hunting, tool making, or language development) did not coincide temporally with when the expansion took place. Most current hypotheses focus on this expansion as being driven by social navigation or even sexual selection.
Unused part of the brain[edit]
A lot of woo (and science fiction) centers around the idea that 90% of the brain is unused, and we could perform amazing feats if we could tap into it. Sadly, as awesome as that would be, we're pretty much using all we've got.[6] One simple refutation of the myth is that if it were true, we could lose large chunks of brain without impairment, which is most certainly not the case. Not to mention that evolution would select against having this unused 90% sitting around, eating up oxygen and nutrients and making childbirth that much more painful and dangerous, unless there was a tangible benefit rather than a potential one. Many of these ideas specifically center on using 100% of your brain all at once to make these superhuman feats attainable. People who actually have some knowledge about this subject will recognize that some people really do this already, and that the medical term for it is a generalized tonic-clonic seizure (also known as a grand mal seizure); this is clearly not a higher form of thought, and is in fact a highly dangerous and sometimes deadly occurrence.
Who's in control here?[edit]
The gut microbiome has an effect on brain functioning, including various social, emotional and anxiety-like behaviours.[7]
The brain and modern toys[edit]
A new era in understanding how the brain creates thought has emerged with the development of several new toys. We now have the ability to non-invasively image the anatomy of the brain and functional activation of brain areas, measure cell firing rates, and even change the firing patterns of brain areas.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses a strong magnetic field to align the magnetic fields of hydrogen nuclei in the body. Applying radio-frequency radiation distorts this polarisation, and as the nuclei return to their original lowest energy state they emit further radio waves that can be translated into an image. Different molecules emit different energy patterns and so different things can be imaged from the same machine.
The most common molecule to be imaged is water and fat, as these are the most abundant in the body, providing good, clear images of the anatomy.
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging works the same way as any MRI, but instead of water the machine is calibrated to measure blood. It is theorized that brain areas that are undergoing increased activation will also have a corresponding increase in metabolic requirements. The need to provide oxygen to these areas will increase the blood flow. Thus the fMRI measures the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal.
The BOLD signal is often superimposed on an anatomical MRI. This allows figuring out which areas of the brain seemed to be activated at a particular time.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is the "black art" of neuroscience. Essentially, a large coil has an electrical field pulsed through it, which (supposedly) can be used to temporarily change the firing patterns of neurons in the brain. It is not clear whether the TMS acts to excite or inhibit brain activation (or even do both). Effects from the TMS can last as long as 12-24 hours after application or as short as a few minutes.
Tasty brains[edit]
There's good eating on a brain. While it is socially unacceptable to eat a human brain — unless you are Hannibal Lecter, a Conservapedian (providing it's your own brain), or a zombie[8] — the brain of a cow, pig, goat or, in some exotic locations, a monkey, can make a nutritious meal, although it's relatively tasteless by itself (to the extent they have any flavor on their own, it's vaguely like scrambled eggs with a much more mushy texture) and is rather high (as in 1000%—1500% of recommended daily intake per serving, depending on the animal) in cholesterol. Problematically, ignoring social constraints and eating human brains can cause kuru, a prion disease similar to Mad Cow Disease, while eating the brains of cows and sheep, and possibly also pigs etc. can cause actual Mad Cow Disease, or just cause heart attacks.
The immense similarity in reactions between creationists and zombies is, frankly, appalling, and not worth repeating.[9].

MANILA, Philippines — People who rely on whitening products to look "beautiful" could soon face their darkest of days if a new bill is passed into law by congress.
1Kayumanggi Party-list Rep. Tina Maria Purisima filed House Bill 6021 seeking to halt the incessant desire of Filipino women to be white, thinking that a lighter complexion is better than their natural born tone.
The bill aims to empower women and change their wrong perception on what is attractive and beautiful. The bill also seeks to hold accountable companies or entities that peddle whitening products, who are also culprit of false advertising.
"I've tried everything, you name it! Gluta this gluta that! CY Gabriel, Chin Chan Su, Papaya soap, Papaya dance, & tawas, pero wala pa rin (but still nothing)!!!" says Charito Sardual, an avid user of whitening products who gave up hope after 30 years. "Pati Liwayway Gawgaw hindi tumatagal!"
Another user who was not satisfied with her products offered her two cents, "There is no way I'll be white in 6 weeks, let alone 7 days! "
"I'll never look like Marian!" cried another.
Rep. Purisima says that the plight of these women are her inspiration for writing the bill.
If passed into law, all whitening products in the form of cream, lotion, soap, powder, oil, that contains, but not limited to, glutathione, papaya extract, lactic acid, DHA, cucumber, glycerol and multiple variants of exfoliants will be banned.
"Pushers", as what Rep. Purisima refers to the seller, would face imprisonment of not less than 6 years and a minimum fine of five hundred thousand pesos.
As for the "users", Purisima says that first time offenders would be given a stern warning together with a seminar on the merits of being Filipino, as well as a lesson on the true meaning of beauty. Second offenders would be arrested and brought to a special facility to be forcibly '"dewhitened". Purisima promises that there would be no third offenders.
When asked how authorities will be able to determine offenders, she was quick to point out that "users" typically whitens their face only and as such, other body parts such as their neck, shoulders, hands and feet are still "not white".
"When the face is white as pearl, and the ears are not, there is grounds for suspicion already," said the lawmaker.
Purisima cites mainstream media as one of the perpetrators for the brainwashing of the masses; saying that celebrities convey the false pretense of white beauty. "TV shows and movies, such as Star Wars depicts being dark as bad. Do we want our kids to accept this stereotype?" asked Purisima.
"Well, sumikat ka nga (you did became famous) and I'm sure you're loving your life now," said another disgruntled costumer sarcastically after watching the TV commercial below.

In spite of his degrees in English, Social Studies, Library Science and Higher Education Administration, the word "retirement" is one that Dr. William F. "Bill" Mears doesn't seem to comprehend.
After retiring as director of the Learning Resource Center at Texas State University-San Marcos eight years ago, Bill stayed retired for about three months. First, he ventured up the interstate to serve as acting director of the library at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest in 2001. After that, he became the library director at the Lockhart Prison Facility.
The following year (2002) Mears began a new journey when he became the director of the Kyle Community Library, a post he continues to hold.
|The Kyle Library, located at 409 West Blanco Street, is a fairly typical community library offering a variety of print and electronic services to the burgeoning Hays County population. Library hours, services, and an on-line catalog may be easily accessed at the institution's web site .
|Personal computers have changed the way libraries work. A large percentage of patrons now come to Google their research questions and go to reference librarians and traditional reference works only when they get stuck. When Bill came to Kyle there were seven public-use PCs; now there are are nineteen with five more on order. Teaching free computer classes has become an important and enjoyable part of Bill's work.
|Relatively new at the Kyle library is a nascent local history collection which seeks to preserve the sources of the community's past. Bill wishes resources were available to initiate an oral history program to augment the collection.
|The Kyle Library has outgrown its space. Here Bill has pulled a book out of the open-stack collection to show just how tight space has become. But relief is on the way. The community is committed to build a new library, and the resources in this growing area are available. At issue is the political question regarding where the building should be located--in town or on the periphery.
|Until a decision is made on location and an architect is chosen, detailed plans for the new facility are not possible. Here Bill examines the general recommendations he intends to offer when it is time for the next step.

Doreen the Downer by Mark Fiore
By this point, everybody's seen the video of downer cows being abused by Hallmark/Westland Meat Packing employees. And everyone's read about the massive beef recall that the HSUS video prompted. The upshot is that nonveg*ns everywhere are finally getting to see what we already knew happens to scores of animals in this country every day.
Well, if any of your omni friends won't watch the video because it's too depressing, they have another option: Doreen the Downer by animator Mark Fiore. It does for beef production what The Meatrix did for factory farming, except it's short and whimsical, like so many of those misguided "educational" videos from the '50s and '60s.

Last weekend, the Alaska volleyball team spent the day with a local club volleyball team, the Ninjas.
The student-athletes went sledding with the middle-school aged girls and followed that up by warming with a bonfire. This was a chance for the Nanooks to spend time getting to know the up-and-coming young volleyball talent in the Fairbanks area.
Alaska was set up with the Ninjas through the club's head coach and former Nanook volleyball player, Ruth Pomeroy. The event was held at the coach's home.
"The athletes and their parents are supportive fans and we appreciate the opportunity to be able to spend some time outdoors with them and to enjoy their company," head coach Mallory Larranaga said. "We ended the day with a lot of laughs as both the Nanooks and Ninja proved their dancing skills by playing 'Just Dance 4.' We have created lasting memories and friendships and will definitely be doing this again."
"Spending time with the Ninja was a neat experience," freshman defensive specialist Meagan Olsen said. "I liked getting out in the community and spending time with people. I know how much I looked up to the Alaska volleyball team when I was younger so I know how much it meant to those girls to get to spend time with us. This was a great step forward for our team in creating our image and who we want to be."
To keep up with what all the team's community service activities, visit Nanooks in the Community.

DIY : Secondary Air Pump & Valve
Well my car threw two codes couple of weeks ago, P1421 and P1423 which are related to secondary air pump.
New secondary air pump was too expensive, $300
..I bought used parts from one of our fanatics, Blocked Out
And I searched entire forum, but couldn't find any DIYs
So I'm writing my first DIY!
Tools that you need:
ratchet wrench and socket extension
10mm socket
phillips screwdriver
*siphon pump(if you are going to remove washer fluid reservoir)
Alright let's start.
1) First, remove the hose clamp and unplug the hose
2) And you're gonna remove secondary air pump unit.
You have to remove 3 nuts (or bolts, my 323 had nuts holding it) to remove air pump unit.
But it's gonna be tricky to remove the bolts/nuts because of this bracket.
Of course you could use combo wrench, but since the space is damn tight, you're gonna have to remove the bracket first. And there's one screw holding this bracket
Unscrew it and remove the bracket.
And removing washer fluid tank will give you MUCH MORE space.
Remove the screw, lift the washer fluid tank and put it somewhere on shock tower IF you are not going to remove the tank completely.
If you are going to, empty the tank with siphon pump first, then remove the tank.
I know, I need to clean them up
Once the bracket and washer fluid tank are removed, now you have much better access
3) Use 10mm socket, remove three 10mm bolts/nuts, they are located under the air pump unit.
Once you remove it, you need to unplug the wire to remove the pump unit completely.
Yeah, idiotic ex-owner just decided to break the plastic bolts, pump was dancing on the bracket. It was sooo easy to remove the pump -_-
4) Now you're going to remove the valve.
Remove a hose clamp and a small hose goes to the valve.
Two 10mm nuts are holding the valve, remove them.
Eww, look how dirty it is
5) Ok, time to install new parts.
Reverse the process, make sure you install the valve first. Then install air pump, bracket, and connect every hose back. Don't forget about washer fluid tank lol.
Well that's it. It was pretty easy DIY. Now, get some beer and say goodbye to SES light
Hope this DIY was helpful!

In an interview with Guardian Healthcare, NHS chief executive Sir David Nicholson said that the number of hospital beds has been falling since the mid-1970s. "Hospitals are changing all the time," he said. "The public can cope with that, as long as they see services improving."
However, he added that changes to health services needed to be explained: "I think we need to do better as an NHS in communicating that."
Nicholson said that surveys of job cuts in trusts gave an unrealistic picture of the health service in England. "If hospital X is laying off so many jobs, there are often parts of the country that are taking staff on, and very often we don't talk about that," he said. With the NHS budget rising slightly, the money saved from fewer jobs in one area provides funds for more healthcare in another, he added.
Nicholson had earlier addressed the Healthcare Innovation Expo in London, stressing the importance of innovation and change in getting more from the health service's budget. Referring to the Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) programme he introduced to save £20bn from the health service's annual budget, he told the audience: "All four of those things fit together. You should never talk about any of them without talking about innovation."
Speaking on 9 March, he said that the health service was going through "a really tough time," with the end of generous annual funding increases, and described the current reorganisation as "one of the biggest challenges we as a health service have ever faced". But doing so would reduce management costs from £5.1bn to £3.4bn, leaving more to be spent on patient care.
"It's my view that the changes are absolutely necessary to support the long-term future of the NHS," he told the audience, adding that debate on the changes had become polarised: "You're either seen as a Stalinist dictator or in favour of Victorian capitalism."
Asked in interview how he would use his new role as chief executive of the NHS Commissioning Board to spread innovation, Nicholson said that the board will look for good local practice and spread it across England. The board will commission £20bn of healthcare annually, including services which are planned on a regional or national basis, such as cancer care.
He gave the example of Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (Ecmo), a life-saving system developed at University Hospitals of Leicester to oxygenate blood artificially for patients with serious lung or heart conditions, which the department insisted other hospitals adopt. This has led to excellent outcomes, he added: "That's something the commissioning board can do."
Jim Easton, the department's national director for quality, improvement and efficiency, added that the NHS is already good at taking ideas from other industries, academics and staff, but has tended to redesign existing processes rather than how services work overall.
He also said that the NHS has yet to take full advantage of information technology. "Helathcare is one of the last industries that hasn't been completely revolutionised by information technologies," he said.

Apple's product roadmap for the next year is likely to include iPods with video cameras, a tablet computer, a low-end Macbook and an upgrade for Apple TV, according to reports on Friday.In a note seen by CNN, Barclays Capital analyst Ben Reitzers listed a number of products he expects Apple to introduce.The note was sent to Barclays' clients soon after Reitzers met with Apple company executives including Greg Joswiak, Peter Oppenheimer and Eddy Cue.Reitzers said he expected Apple to launch iPods with cameras before the end of August and a new tablet computer in the first half of 2010.Speculation has been rife during the last year that Apple will introduce a tablet computer into its range. However, the company has long contended it is not ready to get into the growing netbook market, maintaining that such low-cost systems lack the quality it desires in its offerings.Also included on Reitzers' list was a new low-end Macbook priced below the Macbook Pro, which he expects to be launched by the end of this year.He also expected the firm to upgrade Apple TV and sign an iPhone deal with China Unicom.

When I decided to leave my corporate job and stay home to take care of my family I had envisioned things a little differently than they actually turned out. I pictured myself fashionably dressed every day…perfect manicure…lunch with the ladies a couple of times a week…gourmet meals every night…and a flourishing blog.
Real life. Sometimes I am dressed in clothes that are current but there is always some type of unidentifiable stain or food product on my clothes. I used to have my nails done but lately, they haven't seen a file in months. I tell people I'm letting them breathe. I had lunch with a friend the other week….the first time in a ridiculously long time. I cook often enough, but not always gourmet and I will confess to having pizza delivered last night.
My blog is, finally, starting to flourish…and that, my friends, is very exciting.
I write for all of you. What started as a product review site, turned recipe repository for my friends, has grown into something more than I ever expected. I have all of you to thank for that. And to continue to make it better and something you enjoy reading I would love to hear what you would like to see here at The Suburban Soapbox. Always feel free to comment….here…Facebook…Twitter…wherever. You don't even have to be nice! Well, maybe a little nice. I am sensitive.
When I finally did have lunch (at a bar) with my friend the other day we talked about the Soapbox and she specifically asked for slow cooker recipes. As a working mom, I relied a lot on my slow cooker. She's a working mom….with twin toddlers…..I saw where she was coming from. I immediately came home from lunch and busted out the Crock Pot.
This recipe is so easy…it's not a meal but it's the only way I'll make applesauce. Ever. And the aroma is heavenly. This also makes a great side for pan seared pork chops which can be made in minutes. (Peter Brady's favorite dish, might I add.) I even stir this into my steel-cut oatmeal in the morning. And what kid doesn't like a bowl full of applesauce?
If you have an apple slicer you are very fancy. I don't own one and it would, literally, have shaved tons of time off the prep work. But if you don't have one it still doesn't take that long to peel and slice the apples….plus, I find it kind of relaxing. Yeah…no I don't. Buy an apple slicer, don't be cheap like me.
You can also leave out the cinnamon and nutmeg if you want a sauce with less spice. But I wouldn't do that if I were you. Just sayin'.
Slow Cooker Applesauce
Makes approximately 8 cups
8-10 large apples, I used a combination of Honeycrisp and Fuji
juice from 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Peel the apples and cut into 8 wedges. (or use the very handy apple slicer!)
Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and stir to coat the apples thoroughly. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 5 hours or until the apples are soft.
When the apples have cooked, remove the lid and mash with a potato masher or fork until all the large chunks are broken up. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender if you like your applesauce pureed.
Transfer the applesauce to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. The applesauce can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

That's it for another week of Brisbane Live @ Work.
There'll be a shower or two about tonight, with a low of 15. Showers continuing tomorrow, with a top of 24.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone - and we'll see you right back here first thing Monday morning!
Five Things We've Learned This Friday
An Ipswich teen's been injured after an alleged homemade bomb went off at his home.
A trainee nurse said she just had to help a man who fell onto train tracks at Woolloowin yesterday.
The retail industry says there are good reasons to extend trading hours in the CBD.
ANZ's dropped its interest rates by more than the other big banks.
And it's best not to shoot your loved one with a harpoon.
It looks as though the blast from a suspected homemade bomb which injured a 15-year-old boy in Leichardt this afternoon, also blew an outdoor furniture setting apart.
And we are at the end of the Queensland Plan Summit in Mackay, and here are the questions that the delegates came up with after a day of discussions.
*Living in my community - In the context of living in the community, how do we move our focus from me to we?
*Education and research - How do we create and foster an education culture that teaches skills and values to meet global challenges and optimises regional strengths?
*Healthy and active - How do we empower and educate individuals, communities and institutions to embrace responsbility for an active and healthy lifestyle?
*Jobs participation and the economy - How do we structure ou economy to ensure our children inherit a resilient future?
*Sustainable landscapes - How do we strengthen our economic future and achieve sustainable landscapes?
*Wildcard - How do we attract and retain the brightest minds and ideas where they are most needed and capitalise on global opportunities?
Towards the end of next week, these questions will be available on the Queensland Plan website. Community forums and events will be scheduled acros the states over the next few months to try and find the answers.
In October, another forum will be held, this time in Brisbane, where the plan will be finalised. From there, government departments will be told to implement the relevant aspects of the plan in policies.
Initial information suggests a teenage boy was with two friends when a homemade bomb, constructed from a golf ball, exploded this afternoon.
It's been reported two boys were seen running from the scene.Back to top
A 15-year-old boy has suffered serious injuries in an explosion at a house in Ipswich.
He has been taken by ambulance to Princess Alexandra Hospital.
Southeast Queensland is gearing up for a MASSIVE weekend of football.
The Reds take on the Sharks at Suncorp Stadium tonight; the Lions must win against the West Coast Eagles at the Gabba tomorrow; and the Titans host the Dragons at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast on Sunday afternoon.
Translink wants footy fans to remember their pre-purchased tickets including FREE travel to and from these games - on Queensland Rail and Brisbane Transport and Surfside buses. There will also be free shuttle buses.
For more information, check Translink's Events page.
The question at the Queensland Plan summit that has received the biggest response so far?
"How do we move our community focus from 'me' to 'we'?"
These questions will be collated and then put forward for consideration by the rest of the state.
Two women who helped save a man after he fell onto train tracks have spoken about what happened.
Kay Seymour's nurse training kicked in and she had no hesitation jumping onto the train lines when the man failed to respond to her.
Looking for things to do this weekend?

Here are some of the questions the delegates have come up with so far at the Queensland Plan summit in Mackay.
Their job now is to move away from today's issues and think about transitional shifts in the future - the "plan for the plan" as Premier Campbell Newman said.
Meanwhile, down south, the search is continuing for the couple missing from a Carnival cruise ship:
More details on the NSW couple missing from the cruise ship, paramedic Paul Rossington and Kristen Schroder ow.ly/kSXam.— smh.com.au (@smh) May 10, 2013
For those of you on the roads today:
Broken down car, Fig Tree Pocket Rd at the Centenary Hwy Overpass - Fig Tree Pocket— Trafficnet QLD (@trafficnetqld) May 10, 2013
The Balmoral Reservoir - one of Brisbane's landmark properties - failed to sell at auction yesterday.
But the property's agent says negotiations are continuing with an interested buyer.
Current owner Gail Babbage converted the unused reservoir on Apex Street into a unique four bedroom home after she bought it from Brisbane City Council in 1994.
We'll let you know whether the negotiations are successful.
I caught a couple of intriguing productions at La Boite last night, as part of their 2013 Indie program.
This is Capital City is like a choose-your-own-adventure film noir. You're given a smartphone and headphones, and a commentary track directs you around the Kelvin Grove precinct, turning it into a parallel, almost-threatening world. The only person who goes with you is an "invigilator" (aka a watcher) who makes sure you're safe. It's a really clever use of tech, and I want to do it again to see if I can make different choices and get a different outcome.
Blindscape also utilises tech, equipping around 30 audience members with an iPod Touch and headphones. The blacked-out Roundhouse space is transformed at various times into a suburban home, a city street, a beach and even a rave party - just by the use of a soundscape and the light from the Touches. It also features two circus performers shimmying up and down a pole. I loved the technical aspects to the show, but I must admit I would've liked more of a concrete story.
The Seance is the other production running until May 25 (I'm hoping to catch that soon) - all have limited audience capacities so make sure you book in.Back to top
Paniyiri Greek Festival officially kicks off tonight with a fashion parade at the Greek Club. We're told tickets, at $20 a pop, can still be bought at the door, or on 3844 1166.
It's where ruffles, colour and Grecian glamour come together to light up the catwalk. Greek-Australian models will showcase Greek-inspired designers, their in-season trends, and a special children's segment.
Bazaar Market Stalls, feature Hellenic retailers and the latest looks. It's just the start of a week-long party which culminates in the main event next weekend, May 18-19, at Musgrave Park.
Nursing student Kay Seymour - who jumped on train tracks at Woolloowin yesterday to save a man who had fallen - says she thought she had six minutes, not three, to save the man.
A staff member ended up ringing an emergency number to stop the oncoming train but Ms Seymour thought while rescuing the man she would be fined for jumping on the tracks!
"I didn't know how much danger he was in," she said.
What a beautiful photograph!
Brisbane snapper Tony Porter took this atmospheric shot of this morning's partial solar eclipse, which was most visible just before 9am.
Cloud cover prevented many amateur astronomers from seeing the natural wonder, but Tony managed this from his backyard!
And here's what happening inside: Premier Campbell Newman says today is the day to sketch the "plan for the plan".
Delegates are being asked to think of questions the rest of Queensland will need to answer to help map out Queensland 2043.
Confused? So a lot of people in this room. But we're promised it will all become clear as the sessions move on.
Protesters protesting a variety of causes - job cuts, asset sales, the environment have set up outside the Mackay conference centre.
There are about 50 people out there at the moment. They haven't had much of a chance to get their message across to parliamentarians (outside the Labor members) but they should get a bit of news time this evening.

Newton's color disk
In about 1666 Newton passed sunlight through a triangular glass prism and obtained a spectrum of colors. The sunlight was dispersed (split up) by the prism into its component colors, and spread out on paper.
This is the same effect as in the rainbow (where the raindrops act as prisms). Although theories of the rainbow had been put forward at least half a century before this, Newton cleared up the subject by passing the spectrum back through another prism and producing white light once more. This was final proof that white light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow or spectrum.
Another experiment in the same field was carried out using a color wheel (see illustration). This is a disk, painted in the colors of the spectrum, which can be spun round rapidly by turning a handle. The somewhat surprising result is that when it is turned rapidly, the disk apparently changes color and becomes practically white.

I'm surprised your up already - shouldn't you be out gloating and raving about how 'all is right with the world' and how the trophy is 'where it bleongs' ? :D :D :D
Seriously - your city should be ashamed that the Post is published in it
Only out-of-towners pay attention to the Post.
By the way folks - i have a question - which is worse
A sixers fan who is also a cowboys and astros fan
Or a sixers/eagles fan who is a fan of the yankees?
Cowboys are one of the most, if not the most, hated team of real Philadelphia fans. No questions about it. Yankees are not even in the same state, nevertheless, the same ballpark. Sorry, but the Yankees are really not the badly hated up till this year by Philadelphia fans. Mets, another story!
One thing that mystifies me is that the team is +12 with Thad and Iggy both out? Who is on court at the time then?
Two things we've known clearly since last season: We are better with 2 bigs on the floor, and to be a good team we need to have Willie Green on the bench, to be used only as an offense spark on some occasions. Granted Ivey is a negative offensively but I'd rather see him or Jrue on the court than Willie (unless Ivey starts shooting all the time, which is inexcusable).
I'd like to see Iggy and Kapono together on the floor in spurts.
If we ever see Sam, Speights, Thad, Carney and Lou on the court at the same time we can run the other team right out of the gym.
Units w/ neither Thad nor AI had good runs in garbage time in both losses.
Yeah, if Iguodala and Thad are out it means the game is over. The +/- at that point is not very relevant.
I'm guessing That horrible +/- for Smith/Speights explains why Smith has fallen out of the rotation.
I wonder how Smith/Sam would do? Because if the numbers continue like this we might see more of Speghts/Brand, leaving more time for Smith/Sam.
Samith/Sam might actually work, since the 2nd unit needs an injection of defense, and if Brand is going to be not getting shots I'd rather see the extra touches go to Brand instead of Sammy... of course more touches for Brand would be a good idea too.
I think you meant extra touches to Smith instead of Sammy.
I'm not sure how big of a role Smith is going to wind up having. I think you can go with any combination of the following at the 4/5 for 48 minutes.
with a little bit of
I'd completely avoid MS/JS until further notice. That seems like an open invitation to dunk in our faces.
Yeah, misspoke, I was trying to hint at either starting Speights at C or at least giving Speights and Brand more minutes together. That way when the offense ignores Brand Speights will get more looks (instead of Sam.)
Speights is just as culpable as Smith when it comes to them not working as a duo. But Speights is the better player so Smith's minutes will be the one that get cut. But maybe if Sam is used more with the 2nd unit (even if he still starts) then Smith/Sam could be effective.

IT was a special day Wanderers goalkeeper David Felgate thought may never arrive after a three-year wait to grace the Wembley turf.
The Sherpa Van Trophy final of 1989 saw the Whites win silverware at Wembley for the first time since the FA Cup side of 1958.
For Felgate, it had been a shorter wait after he was cruelly denied the chance to play for Wanderers in the Freight Rover Trophy final in 1986.
On loan at Burnden Park from Grimsby Town, Felgate's spell came to an end before the big Wembley date against Bristol City and he was denied a chance to play under the famous Twin Towers.
The Welsh stopper signed for the Whites and, fortunately for him, they were back at Wembley three years later.
Wanderers fell behind to a Dean Edwards header in the first half, but hit back through Julian Darby.
Second-half strikes via a John Morrison own goal, Dean Crombie and Trevor Morgan sealed a 4-1 win and gave Felgate that feeling he had dreamt of for years.
Felgate told The Bolton News: "I remember the feeling I had when I found out I could not play against Bristol City and it was awful.
"My loan had ended a week earlier and I even think their boss, Terry Cooper, was okay with me playing but it wasn't to be.
"You wonder if you will ever get the chance to play at Wembley again.
"Thankfully, it came my way three years later and what a special day it was.
"I remember we went down really early and stayed down in London and there was a great team spirit in that group of players.
"We prepared well and went into it confident after ending the season with a run of 19 games unbeaten. I just couldn't see us losing.
"We just needed it to all come right on the day and thankfully we fired on all cylinders."
Felgate wanted to soak the occasion in full and vividly remembers the noise levels walking onto the pitch.
Despite falling behind to Cyril Knowles's side, Felgate always felt Wanderers would go on to win and so it proved.
The 54-year-old, who now works as a coach at Manchester City, added: "We started brightly and then conceded from a corner and I think and it was a bit of a shock to the system.
"But we were confident and when we got level, I was not to concede again.
"I made a couple of saves at 2-1 but that was my job – they were saves I was expected to make.
"But I didn't concede again and we scored two more, including that Dean Crombie goal where he just ran and ran and kept going to score.
"It was that special feeling when the final whistle went.
"I sat on the floor afterwards trying to let it all sink in and was trying to find my family and enjoy it with them.
"I was drained but you forgot your tiredness to sprint up the stairs to get your winner's medal and I remember Elton John handing the trophy over.
"Then it was celebrations in front of something like 25,000 Wanderers fans before heading back to the dressing rooms and those big old baths.
"The fans were special that day, and during my whole time at Bolton, because they travelled in big numbers everywhere.
"To win a cup for them was fantastic because they really were like an extra man for us in games."

Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth Almost Broke Up for Valentine's Day; Long Before the Miley Cyrus VMAs 2013 Performance
By Staff Writer | September 26, 2013 08:50 AM EDT
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth announced that they broke off their engagement this month, but Miley Cyrus had been thinking about it since February.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth went public with their breakup on Sept. 16, but they were having trouble long before the Miley Cyrus VMAs 2013 performance.
In the October issue of Fashion, Miley Cyrus says that a new song, "Drive," is about her troubled roance with Liam Hemsworth. The "Come and Get It" singer told the magazine, "I wrote it while I was working on Valentine's Day—emotionally it was such a hard time," she recalls. "It is about needing to leave someone but not really wanting to completely cut yourself off from the relationship. It's a time when you want to leave but you can't. It's also about moving on."
Miley Cyrus' new song "Drive" will be featured on her upcoming album, "Bangerz"
The Fashion cover girl says critics of the Miley Cyrus VMAs 2013 performance don't bother her. "I feel like I'm in a different lane now. When it comes to critics, I have my blinders on and I don't really feel like I have to compete with other pop artists. I never think, 'Oh, this performance is going to make her look bad or out-shadow her' either, but if there is no competition, there would be no reason for any of us to show up to work. At an office, everyone is trying to be boss. Pop music is the same. What I wear adds a factor that other girls can't compete with."
Miley Cyrus' new album "Bangers" will be released on Oct. 8.

Listen I know people here love Brown cause of his hustle and willingness to fight. Toronto is a sucker for those type of guys they praises the tough guys more than skill guys....just look at Domi, Motor City Smith, Tiger Williams they all get cult like status in Toronto.
To me Brown is useless on this team. He has no offensive game and now that he no longer kills penalties he is worthless to the Leafs....just a black hole on the ice that cannot create any offensive zone havoc.
You look at the Bruins 4th line which is a model of the NHL. Thornton is their tough guy but both Paille and Campbell can play a tough game and even chip in offensively and work the cycle to wear down teams.
Our 4th line is non existent and in this short season could be useful.
Komorov McClement and Orr would be good on the 4th line and it would allow Nonis to bring someone in to play with Kadri on the 3rd line with a bigger body to compete against the Rangers, Bruins and the other bigger bodies teams in the East.
Do we really need 2 tough guys on this team?
You need to understand, if you put any talented player and play him 5-7 minutes a game, they will never produce, especially on the 4th line. Each line has a role, our 4th line has been the only brightspot in this whole mess. If you think our biggest problem is having a bad 4th line, I seriously question your judgement. We need a better 1st line to be honest.

I have a lot of struggles since my teen years. I even had to take anti-depressants at one point. Tips like these are very helpful for people like me surrounded with negativity. Thanks for this and keep it up 🙂
Thea.. Thanks for the nice words. Never give up and always know you have great things to offer this world! Never let the negativity win. Much Success and never give up! Keep on Pushing On!
Jenny… FEAR is the enemy of success. Once you ditch it, you're on your way! Thanks for commenting and reading the article.
Keep On Pushing On!
For me writing my fears down is a great way to over come them.
If I ever fear going to a meeting where I know I'm going to get roasted I love to sit there in silence before it begins and start laughing about the situation, this helps me a lot.
I also think asking for help is a huge one, too many people are too proud to ask for help and it's usually the ones who aren't developing in life.
Nice article keep up the good work
Chris.. I think you really hit the nail on the head. As we all continute to develop, we will fail. It's those who are not afraid to continually face their fears that break through, grow and reach their goals… Thanks for commenting.
Keep on Pushing On!
Great one! Lose fear for success.

Vanessa Selbst Wins Second WSOP Bracelet
Vanessa Selbst continued to cement her reputation as one of the very best female poker players on the planet by winning her second WSOP bracelet in Las Vegas Sunday.
If media attention is something Selbst was looking for when she won her second bracelet she picked an inopportune time to do it.
The $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop kicked off earlier today, packing the Amazon Room with spectators and leaving Selbst's final table in the Pavilion largely unwatched.
But while the crowds of fans and most of the media were witnessing the world's first million-dollar buy-in tournament, Selbst was busy winning the $2,500 10-Game tournament that began two days ago. Selbst received $244,259 for the victory.
While six women have now won multiple WSOP bracelets, Selbst joins Jennifer Harman as the only women to have won two bracelets in open WSOP events. Selbst is also the first woman to win an open event since she herself won a bracelet in 2008.
With this victory Selbst increases her career earnings to over $5.35 million.
Selbst Dominates Final Table
Selbst defeated Michael Saltzberg heads-up after eliminating every other player save one at the final table.
Saltzberg is also a previous WSOP bracelet winner, having won the $2,500 Seven-Card Stud event in 2003. He received $150,840 for his runner-up finish tonight.
Making his second final table of the summer was Sweden's Chris Bjorin who finished fourth for just over $64k. Bjorin is the owner of two WSOP bracelets and is the leading all-time tournament money winner from Sweden with over $5.2 million in earnings.
Here are the full final table results:
1. Vanessa Selbst - $244,259
2. Michael Saltzburg - $150,840
3. Tommy Hang - $97,884
4. Chris Bjorin - $64,649
5. Thomas Chambers - $43,099
6. Mike Gorodinsky - $30,169

By Ms. Rachel Newton (AMC)June 17, 2013
Greg Yada, project manager from the Programs and Project Management Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District, was presented the Commander's Award for Civilian Service, during Pine Bluff Arsenal's Safety Stand Down Day May 9.
"He orchestrated numerous aspects of the work including the intricate synchronization of the two project schedules with the PBA Production schedules and with the on the ground construction efforts," read the award certificate. "Adroitly coordinating with the Directorate of Public Works, Ammunition Operations and Engineering and Technology, and the contractors, these efforts ensured the goals of both PBA and contractors were achieved with minimal disruption."
Yada has been instrumental in working with the Arsenal on two major high-profile construction projects since 2010, specifically the bomb storage upgrades and the steam line replacement project. Both projects are collectively valued at over $37 million.
"The Commander's Award for Civilian Service was definitely unexpected, especially the high level of award," said Yada. "To me, the award represents outstanding teamwork and trust we have bilaterally worked to build, so I give a lot of credit to my teammates. This award validated the focus, intensity and hard work we have done in recent years, so this award means the world to me because the PBA leadership made a conscious and optional decision to present the award as a client of professional services. The award also means a lot for Little Rock District because not every district receives an award from their customer. "
The bomb storage upgrades came out of funding from the fiscal year 2010 Department of Defense-U.S. Army Appropriations budget. These warehouses are used to store ammunition and explosive components that support the Arsenal's joint service ammunition mission.
Upgrades on the buildings consisted of installing new fire protection and detection systems, lightning protection systems, new roofs, doors, docks and lighting, improvement of roads and drives, power systems, water supply systems and other related work. The steam line replacement project came out of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 funds. The project replaces and upgrades critical energy infrastructure at the Arsenal
"Greg has been like family to us here at PBA," said Mike McCormack, director of Public Works. "As a Project Manager on two high profile projects he has distinguished himself in coordinating the work with multiple Directorates, the prime contractor, Carson and Associates, and numerous sub-contractors."
"This was not an easy task, and Greg and his team made it happen. I look forward to working with him and the Little Rock District Corps of Engineers in the future; they're a top notch organization," McCormack added.

How old is that carrot you just ate? No, not the actual carrot — its genes. In the last decade or so, Americans have come to value heirloom varieties of vegetables, especially tomatoes. But for us at The Beekman, calling something "heirloom" is just the tip of the iceberg (lettuce, introduced in 1894).
After all, for those of us who collect antiques, we're not satisfied merely calling something "heirloom" or "antique." We don't just collect "old plates" — we collect Flow Blue dishware, or Depression glass, or Mercury glass. We tend to learn everything possible about our historic treasures. Ask anyone who collects vintage automobiles about their "old cars" and you will likely wind up spending the rest of the day hearing every little detail about them.

From 2006 to 2010, the number of reported syphilis cases in the USA rose 36%. Among young, African-American males the rate rose by 135%, according to a report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The authors explained that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are hidden epidemics of huge health and economic consequences in the USA. STDs are called hidden epidemics because a considerable number of infected people are unwilling to come forward openly, and also because of the social and biologic characteristics of these types of diseases. The CDC believes that sexually active males with male partners should be screened for STDs once every three months, rather than yearly.
Gonorrhea - reported cases of gonorrhea fell 16% over the four-year period, down to their lowest levels ever. However, over the last year they have risen slightly. In 2010 there were over 300,000 reported cases. According to some CDC surveillance systems, gonorrhea is becoming resistant to the only medication available for this disease.
Chlamydia - the number of reported cases rose 24%, due to an increase in screenings. There were approximately 1.3 million cases reported in 2010. The majority of people in America with Chlamydia are undiagnosed - they don't know they have it. The CDC recommends that all sexually active young women be screened annually; less than half of them do so.
Syphilis - after a long period of increased rates, the incidence of syphilis dropped 1.6 since 2009. The rate among young, African-American males rose 134% from 2006 to 2010. The rate among African-American MSM (men who have sex with men) rose considerably, the reported added.Nineteen million new cases of STDs are diagnosed annually in the USA. STDs cost the health-care system $17 billion a year. Of those in high risk groups, only half are being tested, the authors wrote. A significant number of infected individuals are unaware, because they have no symptoms.

First dose oral co-trimoxazole and referral are recommended for WHO-defined severe pneumonia. Difficulties with referral compliance are reported in many low-resource settings, resulting in low access to appropriate treatment. The objective in this study was to assess whether community case management by lady health workers (LHWs) with oral amoxicillin in children with severe pneumonia was equivalent to current standard of care.
In Haripur district, Pakistan, 28 clusters were randomly assigned with stratification in a 1:1 ratio to intervention and control clusters by use of a computer-generated randomisation sequence. Children were included in the study if they were aged 2-59 months with WHO-defined severe pneumonia and living in the study area. In the intervention clusters, community-based LHWs provided mothers with oral amoxicillin (80-90 mg/kg per day or 375 mg twice a day for infants aged 2-11 months and 625 mg twice a day for those aged 12-59 months) with specific guidance on its use. In control clusters, LHWs gave the first dose of oral co-trimoxazole (age 2-11 months, sulfamethoxazole 200 mg plus trimethoprim 40 mg; age 12 months to 5 years, sulfamethoxazole 300 mg plus trimethoprim 60 mg) and referred the children to a health facility for standard of care. Participants, carers, and assessors were not masked to treatment assignment. The primary outcome was treatment failure by day 6. Analysis was per protocol with adjustment for clustering within groups by use of generalised estimating equations.
The researchers assigned 1995 children to treatment in 14 intervention clusters and 1477 in 14 control clusters, and they analysed 1857 and 1354 children, respectively. Cluster-adjusted treatment failure rates by day 6 were significantly reduced in the intervention clusters (165 [9%] vs 241 [18%], risk difference −-8·9%, 95% CI −-12·4 to −-5·4). Further adjustment for baseline covariates made little difference (−-7·3%, −-10·1 to −-4·5). Two deaths were reported in the control clusters and one in the intervention cluster. Most of the risk reduction was in the occurrence of fever and lower chest indrawing on day 3 (−-6·7%, −-10·0 to −-3·3). Adverse events were diarrhoea (n=4) and skin rash (n=1) in the intervention clusters and diarrhoea (n=3) in the control clusters.
Community case management could result in a standardised treatment for children with severe pneumonia, reduce delay in treatment initiation, and reduce the costs for families and health-care systems.

Kodak says it will sell its document imaging and personalised imaging businesses to better focus on printing and business services as it works to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Eastman Kodak said on Thursday that the sale of the units, along with cost-cutting measures and the auction of its patent portfolio, will help it emerge from bankruptcy sometime in 2013.
Kodak's document imaging division makes scanners and offers related software and services. The personalised imaging business includes photo paper and still camera film products. It also offers souvenir photo products at theme parks and other venues.
The storied photography pioneer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January. It has kept operating while it tries to sell its digital imaging patents. So far, it has not found buyers.

Congressional leaders haven't picked the 12 members of the uniquely powerful "super-committee" that will recommend $1.5 trillion in spending cuts to reduce the deficit, but watchdog groups want to limit the influence of industry lobbyists on their work.
Two dozen groups, including Public Campaign and MoveOn.org Political Action, released a letter Thursday, demanding that committee members refrain from political fundraising and disclose meetings with lobbyists and others trying to shape their decisions.
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., has introduced legislation that would force the 12 lawmakers to disclose campaign contributions of more than $1,000 within 48 hours of their receipt. The disclosure requirement would start when the lawmakers are appointed to the panel and last until Jan. 21, 2012, when the panel expires.
The Sunlight Foundation, which advocates for transparency in government, wants live webcasts of all official meetings and hearings.
Members of the panel, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, will be named within two weeks and will have until Nov. 23 to recommend cuts. If it fails to reach agreement or if Congress and the president kill its recommendations, $1.2 trillion in cuts would be implemented automatically.

State MPs to get 4.1% pay rise
Page Tools
Victoria's state MPs will receive pay rises of more than $4300 from July 1, matching the 4.1 per cent increase in salaries of their federal counterparts.
The base salary for all members of State Parliament will increase by $4378, taking their yearly salary to $109,706.
Victorian Premier Steve Bracks' salary will rise by $4500 to $259,272. When he first came to office in October 1999 he received $196,882.
Government ministers and the state Opposition Leader will receive $4378 more, increasing their yearly salaries to $207,661.
The Federal Government announced on Friday that the Remuneration Tribunal, an independent statutory authority that determines the pay of senior public servants and MPs, had recommended the 4.1 per cent pay rise. The increase will bring a federal MP's base salary to $111,150 a year.
The tribunal's determinations still have to pass both houses of Federal Parliament, but Mr Bracks yesterday confirmed that the 4.1 per cent increase would flow to Victorian MPs.
Mr Bracks gets an "additional salary" of $105,328 and an expense allowance of $44,238 on top of the increased base salary of $109,706.
Last year the Remuneration Tribunal determined that federal and state politicians should receive a 3.9 per cent pay increase from July 1 last year.
But Mr Bracks decided to reduce the pay rise to 3 per cent in order to keep MPs' pay increases in line with the Government's public-sector wages policy of no more than 3 per cent per year.

Somehow, Santa Claus had time to show up for not one, not two, but all four games of the Diamond Head Classic on Saturday.
A bigger problem was the fact that his outfit is not particularly well-suited to tropical weather.
"Hot as hell," he said.
Turns out, Santa is a Rainbow Warriors season-ticket holder (who knew?). He planted himself in the first row behind one of the baskets and carried a ESPN-friendly sign labeled "Even Santa Prefers RaiNbows."
Santa said he wanted to show support for the tournament by attending all four games, the first two of which drew sparse crowds inside Honolulu's Stan Sheriff Center.
"I flew in from the North Pole," he said. "I've got a lot of stuff in my car to give away."
His car?
Paying respects
Much of Hawaii's focus this weekend had nothing to do with sports or tourism.
The death of well-regarded Sen. Daniel Inouye, 88, last week merited, among other things, a 20-page special section about the Democrat in Friday's Honolulu Star-Advertiser, as well as another four pages of coverage Saturday.
Not only were federal and state offices flying their flags at half-mast in Inouye's honor, but so were hotels in Waikiki.
Meanwhile, President Obama, who is retreating to his Hawaii roots again for Christmas this season, praised Inouye during a memorial service at the National Cathedral on Friday. Obama said: "We remember a man who inspired all of us with his courage and moved us with his compassion, inspired us with his integrity and taught so many of us - including a young kid growing up in Hawaii - that America has a place for everyone."
Some sightseeing
Both East Tennessee State and Indiana State arrived in Honolulu on Wednesday, giving them a full two days to practice and sightsee before the games started Saturday.
The Bucs spent time at the beach and walking around Waikiki, content even though a planned snorkeling trip was canceled because of an issue with the bus driver.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing," ETSU guard Jarvis Jones said. "I'm just excited to be out here."
Indiana State, meanwhile, did a beeline for Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial on Thursday.
"I definitely wanted to do that," Indiana State coach Greg Lansing said. "I wanted to get the guys a sense of it. It's a moving experience."
Understated look
While many staffs of Diamond Head Classic teams wore aloha shirts that generally matched their team colors, Arizona went with a simple casual dress look.
The Wildcat staffers wore dark blue Tommy Bahama shirts. They also have light blue and a red version that they plan to wear in successive games.
Helping hand
Former guard Zane Johnson, who transferred from Arizona in spring 2009 and played his final two seasons at Hawaii, served as an unofficial consultant for the Wildcats in advance of the Diamond Head Classic.
UA trainer Justin Kokoskie, who routinely keeps in touch with former Wildcats from the past decade, called Johnson for insider knowledge of what it's like to play in Honolulu and the Stan Sheriff Center. Cramping in high-humidity areas has caused Kokoskie trouble, particularly with UA forward Kevin Parrom.
Johnson discussed "stuff like taking care of yourself and staying off your feet," Kokoskie said. "He's seen a lot of other teams come in and they walk around (Waikiki) too much. We've had very little free time."
The big number
UA guard Nick Johnson's new age after his birthday Saturday, though he is known for acting much older.
"It took so long (to get here) that after it's over, I wish we could snap our fingers and be home."
Indiana State coach Greg Lansing

MADRID Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka suffered a shock defeat to Austrian qualifier Dominic Thiem at the Madrid Masters on Tuesday as his compatriot Roger Federer withdrew to attend the birth of his second set of twins.
A finalist in Madrid last year, world No.3 Wawrinka seemed on course for a routine win after romping through the first set, but Thiem levelled with some excellent tennis in the second before sealing the biggest win of his career 1-6 6-2 6-4 with the only break of serve in the third set.
Wawrinka's second round defeat means Rafael Nadal is the only top four seed left in the draw before he even starts his campaign on Wednesday as Federer joined Novak Djokovic in withdrawing from the tournament.
Federer announced on Tuesday evening that his wife Mirka had given birth to the couple's second set of twins, this time boys named Leo and Lenny.
The 17-time grand slam champion's withdrawal could benefit Andy Murray as the Scot is now the highest seeded player left in the second quarter of the draw.
Murray will face Nicolas Almagro in his first match at the Caja Magica on Wednesday after the Spaniard needed 11 match points to finally see off Kazakh qualifier Andrey Golubev 6-3 6-7 (9-11) 7-6 (7-4).
Fifth seed David Ferrer also needed three sets to overcome fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos 7-6 (8-6) 5-7 6-3, whilst there were also wins for Milos Raonic and the in-form Kei Nishikori.
Thirteenth seed Fabio Fognini raged at umpire Mohamed Lahyani after he was beaten 7-5 4-6 6-3 by Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov and 14th seed Tommy Haas also suffered a first round exit at the hands of the Netherlands' Igor Sijsling 3-6 6-1 6-4.
There is still plenty of star power on show in the women's Madrid Open as Li Na and Maria Sharapova were victorious.
Sharapova won her first tournament of the season on her return to clay in Stuttgart two weeks ago and looked in fine form as she raced through the first set against American Christina McHale 6-1.
However, McHale went onto take the second 6-4 and led 4-1 in the decider only for Sharapova to respond by reeling off five straight games to set up a meeting with 2011 US Open champion Sam Stosur in the last 16.
The Russian, though, was still far from happy with her overall performance.
"After a really good start I didn't keep that level. I didn't keep doing what I was doing. I think I had a bit of a letdown," she said.
Former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova was also forced to three sets by American Varvara Lepchenko before advancing 2-6 6-2 6-1.
Earlier, Australian Open champion Li had a more simple task as she swept aside fellow Chinese Zheng Jie 6-2 6-3.
Zheng led the head-to-head record between the two 4-3 before the match, but Li has now won the last four meetings between the pair in straight sets and will face 16th seed Sloane Stephens in the next round.
