About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Northwave Extreme Tech SBS Road Shoes:
In training for an event, I was performing a serious amount of climbing and my toes just started aching during the last week of the peak of my training. I have wide feet and upsided my selection as I have had to do with other cycling shoes. The shoes came in the day before I was to ride an event, and though my feet felt much better as I was in recovery mode, I chose to ride with the new shoes because they were so comfortable in my day before warmup. I took a chance, did not break them in and rode the first 80 miles in these shoes and they felt a bit tight after 6 hours and climbing nearly 12000 feet. I had the option at lunch to change to my old shoes, which I did. Big mistake. My toes were aching during my last climb. I have since ridden many more hours in these shoes, they have become totally comfortable. Great shoes, love the tightening system once I have gotten use to them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Careful with the sizing
By Graham L
from Houston, Texas
Careful with the sizing - these shoes have different equivalent sizes - use the sizing chart then go half a size, or one size up (I had to send the first pair back to Nashbar)
Fantasic shoe for the price!
By Brian B
from Evansville, IN
I've just had these for a month or two, but they are great shoes so far. I did have to order a second pair in 1/2 size (European) larger, as they run a little small/tight. Returning the original pair was a breeze! These shoes are super light, stiff, and relatively comfortable (for road bike shoes). They are also great if you use Speedplay pedals, as they (not included) adapter works very well (a little tricky to get in, but once there it works nicely). These shoes are also very stylish, they look even better in person than they do in photos. For the price, you really can't beat these!
Great Shoe great price

See all my reviews
I was looking good high end shoe. This was discounted as last seasons model. Its the most comfortable shoe straight out the box. Easy to adjust on the fly and with a stiff sole for no power loss. I've been riding for 43 years and these are as better than any shoes I've previously owned
Not good for someone with a high instep.

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I have worth Northwave shoes for both road and cross for years and their shoes are great. When I saw that the Extreme were on sale at great price I had to buy them. The problem with these shoes is the location of the boa dial on the forefoot is a pressure point if you have a high instep. The pressure on my cuneiform bones was there with little tighten of the boa system. Other than that the one issue which I think is a big one for a lot of people the width and length and overall fit was good. The shoe are light weight and appear to be well constructed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Decent shoes
By Cris
from Coral Gables, FL
I use this shoe for training and competing and they work good for both things. At first I was really worried that they were to slim for my feet but they are finally breaking in and molding to my feet quite nicely. The longest training session I've done so far in them was 95 miles and they didn't bother me once during the whole ride. for the price these shoes are very good value, one thing to keep in mind is to treat them like precious jewels because they scratch not easily but more easily then they should. They are amazing at putting the power down to the pedals aside from how light they are (even with the clips bolted on). Overall good shoe I just wish they weren't so delicate.
Beware of sizing
By Mike
from Los Angeles, CA
With Northwave, watch out on the sizing. It runs a size larger than most other brands. As for the Extreme Tech model, a nice overall shoe. It's a little delicate on the bottom with the all carbon sole, especially when you stop at a light and put a foot down toe first. A little Shoe Goo applied on the bottom toe area keeps the sole from getting scraped up. As for speedplay installation, it's a bit of work to get the bolts through the bottom. Find someone with small hands to help since you will need to work from inside the shoe.
great, sizing?
By pmnc
from Chapel Hill
I wear 9.5, 43.5 sidi, 43 adidas, 12 y.o NW 43, but they advise 9.5 = 42, weird. I hate cramped toes so got 42.5, feels great with winter socks, maybe racers want tighter fit with thin socks but glad I got 42.5Nbar had speedplay adapter on sale but it was a pain to get inside, "lift" the insole window. But that was partially glued, sloppy gluing. Otherwise OK, like ratchet upper, more leverage than boa, good price when NB had another 30% off.

$20,000 Diamond Jim on the Loose
More than $50,000 in prizes up for grabs during this year's Fishing Challenge
The hunt continues! The Diamond Jim component of the 2013 Maryland Fishing Challenge entered its second phase when Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) biologists and teams of young anglers caught, tagged and released around 200 striped bass into the Chesapeake Bay. One of the tagged fish is the official Diamond Jim worth $20,000 to the angler who catches him between July 1 and midnight July 31. The other tagged "imposter" rockfish are worth at least $500 each if caught and registered before midnight on September 2, 2013.
"The Maryland Fishing Challenge serves as a year-round reminder of the excellent fishing opportunities our State has to offer, providing the chance for everyone, from first timer to pro, to get outside, have fun and create their own traditions and memories," said Governor Martin O'Malley.
Over the summer, hundreds of imposters and one genuine Diamond Jim will be pursued by anglers. Each month Diamond Jim goes uncaught the bounty increases ─ from $10,000 in June, to $20,000 in July, and $25,000 in August. The contest features a guaranteed $25,000 payout, so if Diamond Jim is not caught by midnight Labor Day, the cash prize will be split equally among those who catch imposters.
The first angler to catch Diamond Jim will also receive a set of one-carat diamond stud earrings from Zachary's Jewelers in Annapolis, and a stack of $1,000 gift cards from participating Maryland tackle shops such as Anglers, AllTackle, Fishbones, Clyde's, Marty's, and Herb's Tackle Shop. These prizes bring the total potential value of Diamond Jim to more than $35,000. Zachary's is also providing five- to six-carat blue topaz charms for anglers who catch imposter fish.
Now in its ninth year, the challenge showcases Maryland as a premier sport fishing destination with accessible, affordable, diverse and high-quality opportunities for anglers of all ages. Anyone who catches and registers a Maryland Angler Award-eligible sport fish in any of the three categories — nontidal, Chesapeake Bay and coastal — will receive a certificate of achievement and free passes to the Maryland Fishing Challenge Finale ─ to be held in conjunction with the Maryland Seafood Festival at Sandy Point State Park on September 7, 2013. Here, these anglers will have the chance to win great door prizes, including a boat, trailer and motor package from Tracker Marine; a tropical vacation package from the World Fishing Network; tackle packages from Bill's Outdoor Center and Bass Pro Shops; collectable event t-shirts from Under Armour; and fishing gear from a number of local tackle shops.
Combined with the prizes for the Angler Award component of the contest, this brings the total potential prize value of the year-long contest to more than $50,000.
The Maryland Fishing Challenge is a free year-round tournament sponsored by DNR. To be eligible for the contest, all fish must be caught recreationally by rod and reel.
Catch a fish is included in the Maryland Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights, issued by Governor Martin O'Malley in April 2009. The Bill is part of the Maryland Partnership for Children in Nature, an initiative to ensure all Maryland young people have the opportunity to connect with their natural world and grow to become informed and responsible stewards.
DNR encourages everyone to take advantage of Maryland's Free Fishing Days; the next is Thursday, July 4.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Falconiform Wyverns are normally shy creatures. However, when approached, they often feel threatened, and the flames along their bodies leap higher. Females tend to be smaller than males, though Falconiform Wyverns are typically rather large overall. They use their size to their advantage by hunting smaller dragons. The Falconiform's graceful, swooping dives are said to resemble birds of prey. Falconiforms are largely solitary dragons that only meet in order to breed.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Vandy ties series with UF baseball
Published: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 12:27 a.m.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Sophomore right-hander Tyler Beede (6-0) threw 6.1 shutout innings as No. 2 Vanderbilt (20-4/4-1 SEC) notched a 6-1 victory over Florida (11-13/2-3 SEC) at Hawkins Field to square the teams' weekend series.
Florida at Vanderbilt, 1 p.m., AM-850/900
Junior Conrad Gregor was 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles and scored twice, senior Connor Harrell was 3-for-4 with two runs and senior Jack Lupo went 3-for-4 to lead the Commodores' 15-hit offensive attack. Freshman Brady Roberson delivered a pinch-hit RBI double in the ninth for the Gators.
Vanderbilt jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning with four two-out hits. Junior Jonathon Crawford (0-4) retired the first two batters before Harrell singled into right field. Crawford was charged with a balk to move Harrell to second and Gregor opened the scoring with an RBI single through the right side of the infield. Sophomore Vince Conde (2-for-4, two runs) doubled off the wall overlooking left field to bring home Gregor and freshman Rhett Wiseman delivered a pinch-hit double into center field to score Conde for a 3-0 count. Wiseman slid past the bag at third base trying for a triple to end the inning.
The Commodores increased their lead to 4-0 in the third on Gregor's second RBI single of the contest. Harrell had punched a one-out single into right field and moved into scoring position with a stolen base. Gregor sliced a 2-2 pitch from Crawford into right field to plate his teammate.
Sophomore Justin Shafer collected Florida's initial hit of the night with a base-hit into left field to start the fourth. He moved to second on a grounder by redshirt sophomore Zack Powers. Beede responded by having sophomore Taylor Gushue and senior Vickash Ramjit each fly out to left field.
The hosts threatened with two runners in scoring position in the bottom of the stanza but were held at bay by Crawford. Sophomore Connor Mitchell walked with one down in the fifth and swiped second with two down. However, Beede had Turgeon fly out to right field.
Junior Spencer Navin expanded Vanderbilt's lead to 6-0 in the home part of the frame with a two-out, two-run double to straightaway center field. The Gators loaded the bases in the eighth but were stymied, and had an inning-ending double play to end the threat.
Ramjit (2-for-3) led off the ninth with a single into center field, went to second on a wild pitch and moved to third on a grounder by senior Cody Dent. Roberson spoiled Vanderbilt's bid for a shutout with a double down the right-field line for his first RBI in conference action. The Commodores wound up with a 15-6 advantage in hits.

cragAT - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkThis is my current case. I only had two minor issues with the build. The first being the space available at the top of the case due to my wanting to install my secondary HDD in the 2nd drive bay (SSD is attached to the bottom of the case, makes for a very clean and cool interior, easy to overclock). The second issue was the lack of space behind the motherboard tray for extra PSU cording. I either need to upgrade to a SLI setup or switch to a Modular PSU for my next upgrade. I also love how the inside looks, black and red on white is a very pleasing color combination. Reply
themie - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkalrightt Reply
rburnham - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkI have the previous version of this case, and it is wonderful. Being able to fit a Micro ATX board in there is great, especially considering the case is relatively small. Even at full load, I barely hear any noise coming out of there. The only complaint I have is that cable management is a little tough in places (as seen in some of the photos in this article) and there is no windowed version. Reply
jabro - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkGreat follow-up! I know you don't like to revisit past reviews, but this mini-review shows that it can be worth while in certain circumstances.
You mentioned two changes for the "new" PS-07, thicker steel and better fans. Do these changes apply to both the black and white PS-07 models? (I believe that there was a difference in fan quality between the white and black models)
Do you know if the TJ-08e is also being updated with a thicker steel design? Reply
emilyhex - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkLooks great, I like the white. Reply
just4U - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkme to.. I'd like to see one of the DVD/Blu-Ray makers come out with a White model though.. preferably like the old Panasonic slot loading (tray-less) models. Reply
bobbozzo - Sunday, September 22, 2013 - linkEven if you found a white drive, it probably would have a different finish (less glossy, ...) Reply
marc1000 - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkI know that for testing purposes a big and hot GPU is more usefull thank any small one. but for any real-use scenario for people wanting a silent+small+fast system (in that order), installing one mid-range GPU from the current 28nm generations would be a lot better.
just get any of them with a dual-fan open-air cooler and be happy, as this layout is FAR more silent than any blower-like cooler used in high-end GPUs. They also consume around 110W of power on average if you use vsync to limit the refresh rate (the 140~150W values are only on the most stressfull tests, something we do not do on the real-world for very long), so it will not throw too much heat in the chassis.
I have a pretty crowded Micro-ATX case, just installed a Zotac GTX660 (the smallest possible) and it seems to be dead-silent - but I believe that any Radeon7870 with dual fans would be as silent as this one. Of course there is some noise on the system, but it is absolutely easier on the ears than the sound of coolers from the past.
I know this doesn't apply to benchmarking, but I wanted to share some thoughts on micro-atx builds. I see no reasons to go full ATX other than "bragging rights". Reply
DanNeely - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkOne of the GPUs used in testing was a GT 450 which is an ~ 100W midrange card. (For thermal testing being obsolete isn't a problem and maintaining hardware continuity in testing is valuable.) Reply
marc1000 - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkGood point, DanNeely! I was looking only at the gtx560 results! I believe the gt450 is really similar to gtx660 in thermal output! of course the performance delta is a world of difference, but I believe gpus with real-world draw around 100W are the perfect companions to micro-atx cases. and right now this class is really high-performing-midrange.

Travis Jackson - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkThe one gripe I have regarding these "snow white" cases is not actually with the cases at all, but with (what seems to be) ALL of the optical disc drive manufacturers - I've not yet found one where the ODD fascia was not some shade of "beige".
I know it's a minor gripe, but if there were an ODD OEM that made a "pure white" fascia for their DVD & BluRay drives, even at a premium, with this kind of build, I would not buy anything else. Reply
meacupla - Friday, September 20, 2013 - link"At the same time, they ignore the industry trends toward CLCs"
That's a good thing, you make it sound like a bad thing. Closed loop coolers are a fad, and a bad one at that.
CLC cool no better than a good heatpipe dual tower heatsink, their pumps are louder than they should be, the pumps can fail and they eventually leak.
You talk about silverstone cases being overly complicated, to which I agree with, but why would you want to complicate it further with a CLC that is liable to failure?
A custom loop is the only proper way to do water cooling and this is one case I wouldn't even consider for such a purpose, but if it were for compact SLI and air, this case is a top choice. Reply
Piano Man - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkI think the one thing that seems to go missing here is the discussion of the actual dimensions of these Micro-ATX cases. The fact of the matter is that some "Micro-ATX" cases are the size of some smaller ATX cases, and that to me is just silly. Take the 350D that Dustin lauded. It's dimensions from NE are listed as 17.7" x 8.3" x 17.3" while the Temjin TJ08-E is 15.16" x 8.27" x 14.72". That's a big difference in size. Heck, there are some popular mini-ITX cases that are bigger than Temjin TJ08-E (I'm looking at you BitFenix Prodigy). What's the point of getting a SFF case when its just as big as a regular case? This is why I think the Temjin TJ08-E still, to this day, wears the crown as the best mATX case out there. It can take the most powerful GPUs and the biggest CPU Air Coolers out there, and fit it into a very well laid out and compact case. I got my Noctua DH14 in this thing just fine with 2 SSDs, 1 3.5" HDD, 2 Blu-Ray players, a 7950 and a custom sound card. And it still cools like a beast. You can't get that with these other guys unless you want a case that is almost the same size as a mid-tower. Reply
antef - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkTHANK YOU, so glad to see someone else finally mention this. So tired of all the mATX cases that are no smaller than regular ATX and reviewers not even mentioning it. There IS a reason we are looking at cases like this at all - because we want something small! I realized awhile ago what Dustin mentioned, I only need an mATX board, one video card, and one SSD and HDD to have a complete and powerful system, and the regular ATX towers are just a huge waste of space. I'm sure many people have similarly simple systems nowadays so I don't understand why mATX is not more popular, or why manufacturers insist on continuing to make them so big. I love that this case is the size that it is and I wouldn't want any bigger for any future builds. Reply
just4U - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkYour right the 350D is bigger.. it could have easily been the size of the Temjin if they'd wanted it that way but than it wouldn't be able to fit all of Corsair's CLC options which is what they had in mind. But when you compare it to their other cases it's easy to fall in love with it. Like the Temjin I believe it sits at the top of the pack but for very different reasons.
Silverstone can improve a lot on the Temjin design though..it's far from perfect, so the fact that it sits at the top with the 350D is a feat in itself. I don't think it needs to factor in CLCs right now. Their still a nitch market meant for enthusiasts. Plus that would add to the size of the case. No .. just make it easier to work with, and do something about the SSD placement. and it will continue to be one of the best cases on the market. Reply
rhskeks - Sunday, September 22, 2013 - linkI had the corsair 350D but I returned it because it was just as big as some ATX cases out there. Also, I had a problem with its noise coming from the internal fans, as well as the ventilated top.
In my opinion, the 350D is geared towards a very small niche market, to fill the needs of enthusiasts who are looking to water cool their m-atx system. This is the reason why it's selling so well, because there are no other m-atx cases to fill this very small segment market. I am not one of those enthusiasts; I simply couldn't justify spending another $150+ for a wc setup when a good air cooler keeps my system quiet and cool without adding more noise or powerdraw.
One gripe about the Temjin is actually the location of the ssd. Because it is at the bottom of the case you have to have the sata cable on your psu to be long enough to cover the length from the ssd all the way to the DVD drive if you have one. It was simply impossible for my 400w psu to extend that far so I had to put the ssd in the hard drive cage to make it work. Other than this small gripe, it is a fantastic case with very solid build, and the little attention to details such as the air cooler support makes this my favorite case to date. Reply
just4U - Sunday, September 22, 2013 - linkIt's interesting that you should say that rh. I moved my parts from a Temjin to the 350D after Anandtech reviewed the case. Most of the time I can't even hear it running and it is quieter than the Temjin /w it's 180mm fan.
I tend to use power supplies by Corsair/PC Power and Cooling and Cooler MasterS series that all use ribbon cables that were long enough for the bottom SSD. It's simply a pain is all and I landed up doing exactly what you did when I moved to a bigger SSD.
You didn't note the horrid number of screws for the Temjin and the fact that you should really get as many things as you can all in before mounting that MB. Those are minor things though.. from the back end for the installer. Once set up the case is great. Reply
bji - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkMinor grammar nit - the second sentence should read:
"There are a tremendous number of cases ..."
Cases are countable, so you use "number". "amount" is for uncountable things, so you'd say:
"There is a tremendous amount of water in my basement". Reply
antef - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkI also have the original version of this case from early 2012, I really love it. The install isn't the simplest ever, but it's doable. I like the dedicated spot for an SSD at the bottom. I have no need for the HDD cage so taking it out really frees up space. I had an issue with my power cable orientation with the HDD directly on top of the SSD, so I put it in a 5.25" bay instead. A little tight but works fine. The system is cool and quiet and the perfect size. Also looks great. Highly recommend it! Reply
antef - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkAlthough I have to say - as great as the PS07 is, I would strongly consider the Line-M if building today. It's only $36 on Amazon and seems nearly equally good (2x120mm fans, small, room for large video cards, bottom 2.5" mount), and possibly more straightforward to install in. The case seems to be a rebirth of the Cooler Master Elite 341. It really checks all the boxes for a small mATX case, and it's cheap. Dustin says it's a "good case, but not a great one," however looking back at his review his only complaints in the conclusion are no top vent and not a lot of cable management. Those are pretty minor complaints for something that costs less than half of the PS07.
That said I love the SilverStone and you probably can't go wrong with either. I'm sure many people appreciate the SilverStone's inverted layout and dual front intake fans to help with the use of tower coolers, and the price is good. But the Line-M sure seems like a steal. Reply
just4U - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkWhat about the Cooler Master N200? Reply
antef - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkThe N200 looks okay but still a bit unnecessarily deep.
PS07: 8.27 " W x 14.73" H x 15.75" D
Line-M: 7.29" W x 14.37" H x 15.74" D
N200: 7.95" W x 14.9" H x 17.52" D
The Line-M has the best dimensions here. The PS07 is slightly wider and taller but maintains the same short depth. The N200 is nearly 2" deeper. What's so nice about the Line-M/PS07 dimensions is that they keep it extremely compact but still have the space for a large video card and modest tower cooler if you want it. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkCLC is a fad that will die out just as soon as people realize it's ridiculous to put a water cooler on chips that increasingly cannot overclock reliably for reasons that are NOT at all about heat production and/or not about heat being reliably transferred by the heatspreader.
At this point, CLC is the new "in-thing," but eventually there'll be a move back to standard heatsinks and fans. This reminds me of how "everyone" was making aluminum cases, then the market contracted down to only a couple of players. Because it was the fad for a while. Reply
just4U - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkI've found that the Temjin (and I assume the PS07 since their very similar) both work well with modular Power Supplies that use cables that are ribboned rather than sleeved. That makes cable management so much easier. Reply

Please also re-review the Antec P18x (p183 v3 is current, afaict) and p280 cases.

It looks like there might be a filter on the intake, but it's hard to tell for sure
Please state in all reviews if there are dust filters, and if they're removable.
thanks! Reply
tonyou - Sunday, September 22, 2013 - linkYeah, that pictures shows the front removable filter for the PS07. There is also another removable filter on the top of the case for PSU intake. Reply

Ask a man if he likes high-waisted shorts, the difference between a platform and a wedge or if he thinks the outfit you're wearing makes you look fat, and you'll probably regret it. Fact is, dudes want you to look good but they don't want to wait too long while you do your "magic." Since us ladies have to keep our beauty secrets, follow Nadia's lead and rock this casual "one of the guys" look from her Dude Food episode.
When it comes to entertaining the male gender, there's no telling when beer or bacon will end up on your carpet, couch or, heaven forbid, outfit. Since no one wants bigger dry-cleaning bills for their Versace one-of-a-kinds, a denim blouse is a perfect choice for looking put together without all the effort of putting yourself together. You might even cause some button-up envy among your male pals, but that's the beauty of this wardrobe staple: it's gender friendly! Nadia's choice is GUESS' Utility blouse, and you can browse the whole collection here.
Men might never understand the difference between bootcut and flare, but they recognize curves when they see em. And what better way to accentuate yours than a perfect-fitting pair of jeans? Nadia's Rag & Bone "Preston" skinnies are feminine and are about 100 times more comfortable than any pantyhose. Don't worry, when you get down to enjoying all the great dude foods, you'll actually be participating in camaraderie when you unbutton them for more breathing room.
The best makeup option for a sausage-fest is the kind that complements you without looking overdone. Nadia rocks "Saddle" MAC eyeshadow with "Teddy" eyeliner for an "I always look this good" face. This week she's even picked out a gorgeous "Street Smart" vegan nail polish by Spa Ritual. Will the bros care about the color or the goodwill? Who cares! Bare nails are not nearly as cute.
This is Bitchin' Kitchen, and as such, there are no exceptions when it comes to shoes. Men don't understand the price tags or the discomfort, but, hey, we're not trading our heels for trainers anytime soon. Nadia's "Piou Piou" Python Louboutins are so an "everyday" shoe in our books. No argument.
Victory rolls make girls gawk in awe, but a guy friend will likely ask what's sitting on top of your head. Since you're not EVER going to chop it off or hide it under a ball cap in the name of ease, it's time to fall for scarves! Nadia adds some color to her look and so much flair with this Emilio Pucci Scarf. Justify picking out a unique silk scarf for yourself by making use of all the multitasking! I'm talking about wearing it around your neck, not tucking it in to your collar like a napkin. C'mon, don't let the testosterone take over completely now.
In the guy world, watches, wallet chains and stains from last night's takeout are "accoutrements." We think Nadia's M. Cohen bracelets are much more desirable, kicking her laid-back denim up a notch! In fact, some these spiked and studded bracelets might look nice around a masculine wrist. You can always ensure no boys are conveniently "borrowing" your bracelets at every chance by getting one in pink. Pink and skulls? Very bitchin'. It's all about mixing and matching to suit your tastes!
Don't fear belching, wrestling or getting messy at the dinner table in the name of dude food. Rock this Look and you'll still be a knockout!

From the College Director
It seems that in nearly every PsychLink Newsletter I write about the amazing changes happening at the College of Psychology, and this one is no different. There has been such tremendous growth since my arrival here-it is a bit mind-boggling. From our establishing as a free-standing College to the creation of the Center for Research and Service to new board members, faculty and staff, things have been anything but dull.
As noted in Mike Young's research, last year was a tough on almost everyone, but the College of Psychology continued to grow and transform. Probably the best example of all the changes and improvements is Psychology's upcoming conference in conjunction with the Institute of Science, Law and Technology on April 5th. The conference will ask the question: "Is technology actually benefiting society?" This is a question that can only be answered by an interdisciplinary group of minds (and the conference delivers, with speakers from the business, academic and literary fields), and the discussion must include psychologists.
New technologies are expanding the role of psychologists, and are also bringing us together with members of other fields with which we previously have not had much contact: from engineers to lawyers, we are needed everywhere, and more so than before. This provides an awesome responsibility and an awesome opportunity.
To do our part the College of Psychology must continue to be a program that prepares fine young minds for careers in academics, health care and business. We must continually come together to talk about current issues as with this ISLAT conference. We must also continue to grow and change with the times as well as capitalize on our successes.
To help us move forward there are some new members to the College's family. Dan Lezotte, Ph.D., joins our growing faculty. Dan comes from the corporate world of consulting. He is a Principal at Organizational Strategies, Inc., and a graduate of the College of Psychology. Look for a full bio in the next issue of PsychLink. Another new face at the College is our Director of Development, Ken Modzelewski. Ken joins us from IIT's central development office and has experience in marketing, fundraising and alumni relations.
The new faces, new conferences as well as our new research are all a part of the same process: the next phase of development for the College. As we improve and expand, we are better able to offer excellent research and teaching, and we are better situated to be a resource for our alums and their businesses. In these challenging times, it is important to be able to offer as much as we can. And we have a lot to offer.
On a final note - as we change here it alerts me that you out there have seen a great deal of change. We would love to hear from you. Please drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 312.567.3514 to update us on any changes in your job or your life (and we can put them, if you wish, in the next newsletter). We would also like to see you at the conference. To RSVP, please call 312.567.3514. Hope to see you there!
Best regards,
--M. Ellen Mitchell, Ph.D., College Director
Progress at the Center for Research and Service
While many research and consulting firms have suffered in the wake of the economic downturn, the Center for Research and Service (Center) is having its best year ever. Fiscal year to date, we have enjoyed revenue growth in excess of 20%. We have also launched several new service areas that offer promise for future growth.
The Center has recently expanded to service a clinical population. The new practice, Assessment Services, was created to provide outpatient evaluations for geriatric, adult, adolescent, and child cases that involve suspected cognitive, intellectual, or psychiatric disorders. We provide comprehensive evaluations to individuals in order to diagnose presenting symptoms or difficulties and provide proper treatment recommendations, which are tailored to the individual client's needs. Theresa Kiolbasa, Ph.D., an IIT alumnus, has joined the Center to lead the assessment practice. Following her graduation in 1998, Dr. Kiolbasa completed postdoctoral studies in neuropsychology at NYU-Mt. Sinai Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and at Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center. She worked as a clinical neuropsychologist in the area of rehabilitation medicine for a year and a half before returning to IIT to develop this new service. The Assessment Service will have center locations at both Main and Rice Campuses. Clinical and research opportunities will be available to IIT's psychology students. Questions and referrals can be directed to Dr. Kiolbasa by phone at 312.567.3358 or by email at email@example.com.
The Center has had great success developing and implementing 360-degree feedback systems for our clients to use as tools for leadership development and performance management. This has included work with a large insurance company, a major manufacturer, and global electrical components company. This year, we drove the evolution of that process to a web-based system, which has dramatically reduced turnaround time and administrative costs, and led to improved response rates. We are now launching a web-based 360-degree feedback process, which can be readily adapted to clients' competency models, administrative systems, and reporting requirements.
Dr. Nambury Raju continues to be an extremely valuable resource to the Center. Recently, Dr. Raju led a study of the fidelity (measurement equivalence) of translated test materials for a market leader in food service training, which culminated in a workshop into the potential causes of translation problems from English to Spanish to Chinese. Dr. Raju continues to lead test development as a key service area for the Center.
Other substantial projects during this past fiscal year include:
- Several organizational surveys, including training needs analysis and employee opinion surveys
- Design and facilitation of off-site retreats to assist organizations with change management and workforce adjustment decisions
- Individual assessment for management selection and development
- Design and implementation of a web-based training evaluation and reporting system for a large multinational communications and electronics company
- Development of a personality measure used for management selection
- Design and implementation of leadership and team skills training programs
Once again, in conducting research and servicing our clients, we have relied heavily on student and faculty contributions. We have provided applied research and consulting experiences to over twenty students during this past year. This active partnership has become a cornerstone of the Center's identity - one that serves both our clients' goals and the Center's mission to support student development.
In closing, thanks to our faculty, students, Board members, administration, and corporate partners for your ongoing support and encouragement.
Bruce Fisher, Ph.D., Director, Center for Research and Service

Program News
Last year, Michael Young, Ph.D., Professor and Director of the Clinical Program at the College of Psychology, conducted a research study to assess seasonality and other factors that influence people's functioning, including neuroticism and rumination.
Dr. Young was looking at the effect of the change in seasons. Are people more or less able to deal with problems in their lives in the winter? It depends on several factors, says Dr. Young. "We know that people's ability of dealing with stress depends on their ability to cope and their personality as well as the severity of the stressor." He went on to say, "Seasonality may also be a factor."
"The level of people's neuroticism interacts with the level of stress in their lives to predict their level of functionality. Yet we also saw how seasonality would interact with stress to also predict their level of functioning." This means that there is another factor to include when looking at a person's ability to cope.
So what does seasonality have to do with post September 11th life? Dr. Young wanted to know. So he contacted the same participants from the 2000 study to determine the effects of the attack. "We used current undergraduate students, and because IIT represents several different ethnicities and nationalities, we were lucky to have a very diverse population," he said.
"We used a NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) questionnaire and measured people's experiences of September 11th, their perception of future threats and the current level of people's ability to function. We already had their prior level of functioning, seasonality and neuroticism from before September 11th, which is good." Dr. Young and his research assistants were able to test for the differences between now and the time before the attacks.
And the results? Professor Young and his group are still analyzing the data, and expect to complete the process in a few weeks at the most. "If seasonality ends up being an important factor," Professor Young said, "it would indicate that more research is necessary." The fact that this study was researched in this way at all is an example of the effect September 11th has had on the field of Psychology. "I could not have done this kind of study without the tragedy of September 11th, Dr. Young said.
Undergraduate Update
The College of Psychology is in the process of creating new survey to use as a marketing tool in their undergraduate admissions efforts. The survey will gauge students' educational interest as related to the College's undergraduate program.
Current undergraduate students will serve as the model for the survey. Responses from our majors will be compared to non-psychology majors to determine if there are specific characteristics or traits unique to IIT's successful psychology majors. If specific traits or characteristics are identified, this information can be used in our undergraduate recruitment efforts. Graduate student Mark Frame is the creator of the survey.
The hope is that the survey tool will do two things: show potential undergrads that this is the type of organization in which they can excel, and (for current students) utilize psychology-based methodologies.
For admissions information, contact Marty Parker at 312.567.8945 or email@example.com
From the Board Chair
As we move into spring and the start of the seventh year as an College of Psychology, I would like to welcome our newest board member Ronald Bliwas. Mr. Bliwas is a member of IIT's Board of Trustees and is the President and CEO of A. Eicoff & Company, a Chicago direct marketing agency. Mr. Bliwas is a great addition to the College of Psychology Board and is joining at an important time. His marketing expertise is an important asset for psychology. I would also like to extend my thanks to Ken Kaye and Carolyn Lang whose service to Psychology has been stellar. With the expiration of their board terms, they are turning their efforts to other areas. Please join me in wishing them the best.
Last year's completion of the IIT Challenge campaign brought new scholars, excellent faculty and new facilities. The face of psychology is changing and into a more prominent academic unit that has a growing role to play in the larger university. Our progress in development has also laid the groundwork for our next fundraising initiative: In the coming months we will be working hard to endow two professorships, and we are already on our way. Currently, IIT is migrating its information systems, and so I am unable to update you on the excellent fundraising progress of the past few months. Please look for a full update in the next installment of PsychLink. The progress we already made and our future work toward these endowed professorships is important because they will enable us to retain top faculty, attract more strong students, and assure the prominence of the programs in the future. Such endowments will catalyze other events all of which help sustain the College.
As the Chairman of the Board, I am privileged to see colleagues on a regular basis as we meet, discuss, brainstorm and plan for greater things to come at the College of Psychology. Yet the Board cannot make the changes alone. M. Ellen Mitchell, Ph.D. is a most capable Director, yet she cannot make the changes alone either. Your role is also key. We will be kicking off (really teeing off) one of the endowment efforts on May 31st with a very exciting golf outing that will be held at Poplar Creek golf course in Hoffman Estates. I hope you will arrange your calendars to attend, as it is always a pleasure to meet more graduates of the College.
The alumni and friends of psychology are the holders of more knowledge, business savvy and expertise than we could possibly muster on our own. It is important for the College to keep in touch, to let you know of the great things happening on campus, and to know of the advances in your work. We welcome your input, guidance, and want to involve your strengths in the College. Many of you have already participated by serving on a committee and by donating time and/or funds. Some have participated in or inquired about planned giving options that can benefit the donor and the College of Psychology.
In the coming months we will be calling on many of you to ask for your input. One way we do this is through our Alumni Interview Program. Staff members will visit alumni and go through a brief questionnaire to gather their thoughts on our strengths, our weaknesses and where we should be going. We are seeking more input and involvement for our alumni, and we hope that you will help us out when we call. We also invite you to call us. The College is committed to support the networking and interaction among our alumni, friends and supporters. While we have not achieved this effort fully, we have made major strides and have allocated resources to accomplish our objective of creating and maintaining a vibrant alumni network.
Help us help psychology. We look forward to the continued success of the College of Psychology and hope to see you at the next events on April 5 (Psychology and Technology Conference) and on the golf course on May 31, 2002.

Over 130 alums, board members, faculty, staff and friends of the College of Psychology came together at the annual PsychNite event last November. Director M. Ellen Mitchell, Ph.D. was especially delighted at the turnout given that the event date had been postponed due to the September 11th tragedy.
The evening was chic and fun: the venue for this PsychNite was the distinguished Green Dolphin Street jazz club in Chicago. A superb jazz trio provided music as partygoers enjoyed hors devours and conversation with friends.
The capstone of the evening came at the end of the final prize raffle, when faculty member Glen Geist won the two free first-class airline tickets to anywhere in the world from United Airlines. Geist indicated that he and his wife would go to Australia.

Did you know?
Scotty Smith once earned a decent living as a prize-fighter in New York City.
England has Robin Hood, Australia has Ned Kelly, the USA has Jesse James – and South Africa has Scotty Smith.
Outlaws all, these hoodlums with hearts of gold have captured the imagination of their countries with their exploits, adventures and occasionally outrageous criminal acts.
Scotty Smith's real name was the rather laborious George St Leger Gordon Lennox. However, in the taverns and gambling dens of the Kalahari, that was just too much of a mouthful – it was all compressed to Scotty Smith.
This Victorian-era crook was a man of many talents. Trained as a veterinarian in Scotland, he shipped out to western Australia to be a gold miner on the goldfield of Kalgoorlie. Then he joined the British Army briefly and was discharged not long after, following a court martial.
Undaunted, Smith came out to South Africa and became a frontier policeman in the Eastern Cape. Pretty soon, however, he crossed the legal line again and turned to gun-running and elephant hunting in the old Bechuanaland – now Botswana.
But it was his incredible love for good horseflesh that made Smith infamous as a rustler. It is said that he even made off with the favourite mount of Lord Kitchener, chief of the British Army, during the South African (Anglo-Boer) War.
Roaming the Northern Cape around Kimberley, Smith also had an eye for a good diamond, and was often involved in dodgy deals at the diggings. Once, when a search party was formed to look for the vagabond, he came up and quietly joined it. Another time, he overpowered a detective who had arrested him and, by virtue of a silver tongue, had the hapless cop thrown into a Kimberley jail.
The legend goes that one night the police raided his campsite, and Smith calmly dropped his stolen diamonds into the kettle that was heating up on his fire. When the water boiled, he went ahead and made coffee for the policemen and himself, with no-one but he being any the wiser.
But his good deeds are also noted. He once paid a poor farmer's wife the enormous sum of 200 pounds for one night's accommodation. He stole horses and cash from the rich and occasionally shared some of his booty with the poor.
Smith was finally captured and sentenced to 25 lashes and four years in prison for armed robbery. Somehow, the lashes were never administered and, by all accounts, his time in a Bloemfontein jail was more like a hotel holiday than incarceration.
Scotty Smith ended his days as a respectable old raconteur in Upington, farming vegetables on the banks of the Orange River. His grave is prominently marked in the Upington cemetery and his legend is that of a true brigand: hero to some, villain to others...
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Northern Cape Tourism Authority
Tel: +27 (0)53 832 2657
Email: email@example.com
How to get here
Scotty Smith's ranged through the Kalahari semi-desert between Kimberley and Upington in the Northern Cape.
Best time to visit
The Kalahari looks best in the blooms of spring (September – October) and after the rains of autumn (April – May).
Around the area
Why not go on a Green Kalahari adventure in the dune country?
Tours to do
There are a number of good guides offering tailor-made tours of the region – check the listed Northern Cape Tourism site.
Get around
A 'Scotty Smith Search' is a great excuse for a self-drive Northern Cape Kalahari road trip.
What will it cost
Guest houses and hotels along your route are amongst the most reasonably priced in South Africa. Expect to pay about R400 to R600 pp per night for bed and breakfast. The transfrontier park chalets start at R900 per unit.
Length of stay
Leave at least five days for your Kalahari road trip.
What to pack
Pack seasonally, informally and remember to throw in your sunblock, camera manual, extra memory cards and camera batteries. During the summer (November to April), the temperatures in this area can be searingly hot, though cool right down at night. In winter (May to August), nights can be bitterly cold, though days are usually warm and mild, so pack accordingly.Pack lots of sunblock and a little something to ward off the evening chill.
Where to stay
Check the listed Kimberley, Upington and Green Kalahari websites for choices of accommodation. Also, if you're planning to stay in a national park (the Augrabies Falls National Park and the Kgalagadi National Park are in this area), check the SANparks site for availability. Be warned: the national parks are very popular, so book in advance.
What to eat
You're in red meat country, so your best bet would be to find a good steakhouse in either Kimberley or Upington.
What's happening
There are many events during the year – check the listed websites for details.
Best buys
Try the Upington table grapes in season – summer months of October to April are best for finding these.

Toast to Texas at Sebastopol House to Honor Texas Founders
SEGUIN – Sebastopol House State Historic Site will host its 17th annual Toast to Texas on Wednesday, March 2, to pay tribute to the 59 men who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence 175 years ago on that date in 1836 in the tiny Brazos River town of Washington.
More than 100 school children, townspeople and dignitaries are expected to attend the 1:30 p.m. toast with mineral water put on by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. There also will be a floral tribute to honor Texas heroes.
"It's a quite visually appealing event," says site Superintendent Georgia Ruiz Davis. "The local sheriff's mounted posse will deliver the official proclamation to Seguin Mayor Betty Ann Matthies and a middle school choir will be singing patriotic music to stir the soul."
The event will include a roll call of the names of delegates to the independence convention at Washington-on-the-Brazos and a reading of Texian Commander William B. Travis' letter to the delegates beseeching them to continue with their drafting of the declaration even as the Alamo was under siege from Mexican troops. The event is free and open to the public.
The 1856 Greek Revival-style home, built for Col. Joshua W. Young, is included in the National Register of Historic Places due to its unusual "limecrete" construction and architectural significance. Limecrete was an innovative form of 19th century concrete patented a Georgia physician who mixed gravel, water and lime to create an early type of concrete. The Sebastopol House is one of several Seguin landmark structures featuring limecrete construction.
Sebastopol House State Historic Site is located one mile south of Interstate 10 on Zorn Street off Alternate Route 90 (Court Street) in Seguin. It is one of 93 state parks and historic sites that make up the Texas State Park system. For more information about Sebastopol House, call (830) 379-4833. For general Texas State Park information, call 1-800-792-1112 or visit tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/.

And here's the best news, the top two players who garner the highest points and complete all of the challenges—haikus, photo assignments and a final tie-breaker—will receive Apple iPads.
But if you're in a hurry to play through and, incidentally, have a chance a winning an iPad, too, check out the upcoming one-day only contest at the Castle Commons this Saturday, July 26. Registered visitors will square off in a four-hour timed competition that is open to all comers, though an RSVP is recommended. Arrive at the Castle Commons at 9:30 to register for the 10 AM start of the game. At 2, players will return to the Castle Commons for the announcement of the first-place winner. The lucky champion will receive an Apple iPad—you must be present to win. (Psst. As of this afternoon, not too many people know about this special event, so cancel your Saturday plans and sign up now.)
The game is powered by the Boston-based SCVNGR, a company which creates game experiences designed around specific locations. The goSmithsonian Trek is "all about going places, doing challenges and earning points," says SCVNGR's Kellian Adams, a former school teacher, who says she loves the educational opportunities the game provides. The Trek includes more than 70 questions that take visitors on a tour of the Smithsonian Castle, the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of the American Indian, the Freer Gallery of Art, the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the African Art Museum and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
The goSmithsonian Trek is played on an iPhone or Android after downloading the free App at the Apple App store or the Android Market. For each correct answer, players will earn a range of points, depending on the difficulty of the question. If a clue is answered incorrectly, points are lost.
Happy Trekking!

Cristiano Ronaldo Shirtless & Girlfriend Merche Romero
Cristiano Ronaldo will, in fact, stay at Manchester United after a heart-to-heart conversation with his mother during a family dinner last Friday.
Cristiano Ronaldo's mom Maria Dolores, 46, said, "He will be at Manchester with all the players on the first day of training. He has a contract and he is going to honor it. I am happy he is going back. The whole family is happy. He is OK with Man Utd. The coach has said that Manchester needs Cristiano. Any player would like to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona but, at the moment, he is at Manchester and he is going to stay at Manchester."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1670 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Supporters greeted Pimicikamak Cree elder Raymond Robinson at the Richardson International Airport with long embraces, tears and a lot of singing.
The Cross Lake family man and hunter ended his fast with Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence after 43 days Thursday and flew to Winnipeg from Ottawa Thursday, on his way back home.
Traditional Ojibwa honour songs rose over the beat of hand drums as he stepped off the escalators just before 10 a.m. with Northern Manitoba Grand Chief David Harper and his own chief Garrison Settee. Tears stood in his eyes for a Dene honor song by a singer from northern Manitoba.
Robinson spoke emotionally as he reflected on the experience at Victoria Island, voice cracking as he described times when he thought he would not survive the fast on tea and fish broth. He said he did it to bring awareness to aboriginal and non aboriginal Canadians to stand against new federal laws that he said erode treaty rights and environmental laws.
"You drink the same water I drink, the same food as well. We have to come together to stop this destruction... all of us in Canadian society. We are in this together," Robinson said.
He rejected media coverage that he and Spence were pressured to end the fast. "We ended our hunger strike on our own terms. Not anybody else's. I want you to get that across."

KDE's Marty Park, presenting during the Kentucky Lync-delivered online TeachMeet event of February 28, 2013, as seen from Jeff Gray's KET office pc, Lexington.
Folks at the KATE (Kentucky Academy of Technology Education), located at Murray State University, made education technology history yesterday from an idea by Director Ron Milliner by producing a special day-long online professional development "TeachMeet" event for Kentucky educators.
Using the Lync web conferencing feature of the Microsoft Office 365 software and online service suite, recently rolled-out for use by all Kentucky schools, educators from KATE, the KDE (KY Dept. of Ed., who helped schools implement the new resources), and several Kentucky school districts shared valuable tips and methods for using a variety of software and online instructional resource tools.
Presenters from several remote locations were given temporary control of the web conferencing output from their pcs in turn, all coordinated during the day by KATE staff at Murray State. Participation reached almost 100 and averaged around 80 during the event, which ran from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm ET. Some of the session materials have been posted online. Recorded sessions from the event should be posted soon to the KATEMSU YouTube channel.
Here's a list of the scheduled 10-minute sessions, which, as seen by participant viewers, included live PowerPoint presentations, video displays of the presenters, shared desktop program and web page demonstrations, and a chat sidebar for messaging by all with live web links inserted during the event…

KDE's Marty Park, presenting remotely from KET during the Lync-streamed TeachMeet of 2/28/13.
Ms. Oakley also posted a helpful overview of how to use the Lync system, which is part of the new Microsoft Office 365 suite of software and resources Kentucky public school educators should soon have access to from their school pcs. Lync can be used to web conference with one to many colleagues, and setting up a group conference is easily done through a website scheduler. Kentucky teachers should contact their school or district instructional technology folks for more information on how to use Lync and the new Office 365 tools.
For more information about the February 28, 2013 Kentucky Lync TeachMeet, contact KATE Director, Ron Milliner; Eric Rich, KATE Data Systems Administrator; or Instructional Development Specialist, Patti Oakley.
We look forward to more Lync-streamed educational resources and events from KATE, the KDE, schools, and other sources. We at KET also hope to offer some useful Lync-streamed events, so stay tuned! It's an impressive new resource that should really boost sharing and creativity in the Kentucky educator community. Thanks to the Kentucky Department of Education and to everyone in our Kentucky school districts who helped set it up for educators to use and enjoy, and thanks to the folks who organized and presented the first Lync-delivered TeachMeet on February 28, 2013, produced by KATE at Murray State University!

HOUSTON - Ten fires have been set in the Memorial area in the past two months, and investigators said they think they're dealing with an arsonist.
Crime Stoppers officials said the fires have been set along an area near Memorial Drive and Dairy Ashford since December. Another similar fire was set in May, officials said.
The fires have been set in Dumpsters and at apartment buildings, investigators said. Four of the six fires at apartment complexes were started in stairwells, which blocked residents' escape routes, detectives said.
The fires were set at the following locations:
- May 2012: 14222 Kimberley Lane; fire at front door of apartment
- Dec. 6: 14800 Memorial Drive; exterior wall of vacant apartment set on fire
- Jan. 5: 14814 Perthshire Road; fire inside stairwell of apartments
- Jan. 6: 14814 Perthshire Road; fire inside stairwell of apartments
- Jan. 7: 14366 Memorial Drive; trash fire behind convenience store
- Jan. 9: 14205 Kimberly Lane; fire inside trashcan in park restroom
- Jan. 12: 801 Country Place Drive; fire inside vacant apartment
- Jan. 13: 777 Bateswood Drive; wheelbarrow on fire in apartment complex
- Jan. 20: 14250 Kimberly Lane; Dumpster fire at Thornwood Elementary
- Jan. 21: 14814 Perthshire Road; fire inside stairwell of apartments
- Jan. 21: 14240 Memorial Drive; fire at baseball fields
Investigators said they don't have a description of the arsonist, but they think he or she travels on foot and lives in the immediate area.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

WORCESTER Wolves will be further enhancing their profile on the national stage with their wheelchair team entering the British League.
Under the guidance of chairman and player-coach Ollie Buncombe, Wolves' wheelchair side will be pitting their wits against some of the country's top sides.
They will be competing in Division Three, in either the Central or South section, from September and will be the only team from the area involved.
Matches are set to take place on Saturdays and Sundays at either the University Arena or the sports hall on the university's St John's campus, which is also the club's training base.
Wolves are also due to host rivals Gloucester Blazers in a friendly on Saturday, August 16.
It is the club's first venture into competitive basketball but Buncombe believes they can be a force.
He said: "We have got a team that are good enough to play in a league and we are extremely competitive.
"I am very hopeful, I think we are going to be quite a successful team judging by other results we have had."
Since being formed three and-a-half years ago, the club has gone from strength to strength and now boasts 40 players, both juniors and seniors and disabled and able-bodied.
They train every Saturday from 11.30am to 1.30pm and Buncombe also oversees coaching sessions in schools, with the aim of recruiting more players.
Pupils at Christopher Whitehead Language College, Tudor Grange, Nunnery Wood and Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College all benefit from regular tuition.
Interest in the sport has also been boosted now that the Great Britain wheelchair squads, with whom Buncombe is a coach, are based at the arena in Hylton Road.
He said: "The team has developed to the point where if we didn't play in a league we would be losing players.
"I want to be the team in this region but not losing the core values of inclusion, health and fitness and integration.
"We are a family club and we are still maintaining that structure even though we are in the league." The chairman added: "Everything I learn from the GB sessions I bring to my coaching session with the first team and that is developing the club."
Teams in the national league can compete using one able-bodied player, except in Division One.
Meanwhile, Great Britain's able-bodied side face Latvia next weekend in two warm-up matches at the University Arena ahead of qualifying for the 2015 Eurobasket season.
The international matches take place on Saturday, July 19, and Sunday, July 20, both at 3pm.
