I have been legally separated for 7 months and now wish to convert it to a divorce. I believe I am supposed to file a motion and notify my spouse of my intention, though I am not sure exactly where he lives right now. How many days notice do I...
I infer from your question that you obtained a decree of legal separation seven months ago, and my answer assumes that to be your situation. Yes, you must give your former husband notice of the hearing. In King County, you must give him at least 14 days' notice prior to the date when the court will hear your motion to convert your decree. Because you do not know where your former husband lives now, and assuming he does not have a lawyer representing him of whom you're aware, service can be made by US mail, postage pre-paid, to his last known address. (If he was represented by a lawyer in the action for legal separation, I recommend that you send your papers to the lawyer's office in addition to serving him by mail.) Once you have all of the required papers completed or nearly so, work backward from your desired hearing date to determine when you must mail the papers (or determine when you can mail the papers and work forward to determine your hearing date), and be sure to properly note your motion for hearing, with adequate time for service by mail. Keep a record of when you mail the papers--ideally, send them by certified mail, file a copy of your USPS receipt, and bring it with you to your hearing.
You can also ask that your name be changed in your motion to convert, and be sure to add the relief you request, your new name, to the "other" section at the end of your Order on Motion to Convert Decree of Legal Separation to Decree of Dissolution, including language such as "The [petitioner's or respondent's] name is changed to Jane Ann Doe." The papers you must file and serve can be found at a link I am including, and you should check the Washington Court and King County Superior Court rules and procedures for the procedures for the filing, service and noting your motion. The links below should assist you. Last, once you obtain your order, unless your former husband shows up for the hearing and receives a copy of any order you are granted, be sure to mail a copy of it to him at his last known address. Best of luck to you.
I am sixteen and am interested in hyphenating my last name to accommodate both of my parent's names.

Which comes first: work or family?
Parents are increasingly missing out on watching their children grow up because of long working hours.
A snapshot of Britain, carried out by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, has found that nearly half of all fathers are putting in long hours at the expense of their family life.
For many people, mums as well as dads, a 9-5 job simply no longer exists, it found.
The survey on working fathers coincides with a separate study, which has discovered that many women still put their careers on the back burner when they have children.
Nearly one third of women have downgraded career expectations after childbirth, a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development report said.
By contrast only 19% of men said their career was no longer on track after becoming a father.
The reports have been released as part of Work-Life Balance week, which is designed to campaign for better working conditions and promote flexible employment.
Career aspirations
More than half of those surveyed by the CIPD said they had switched roles or jobs after becoming a parent.
Just under a third changed from full-time to part-time hours, while 14% stopped work completely.
A further 13% made some other change to their hours, for example, by switching to a four-day working week.
Women were three times more likely to change their work patterns than men, with only 26% continuing to work the same hours as previously.
Birth change
According to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, parents in professional jobs were in a better position to adjust their working arrangements to suit their career aspirations and family needs.
Parents from lower-income groups were more likely to say they have no scope to negotiate more flexible arrangements.
In April 2003, parents with young children will have the right to put their case for flexible working arrangements to employers, but researchers said many families would miss out.
Ivana La Valle, a co-author of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation study, said: "Low-income families may feel they simply cannot afford to exercise their new 'right'.
"Their need to enhance their take-home pay by working overtime and atypical hours is a major constraint on their ability to achieve a better balance between work and family life."
Childcare costs
CIPD's survey backed up the foundation's findings.
As many as 57% of parents in households earning over £40,000 a year were still working the same hours, the report said.
Lower earners - those households earning less than £20,000 a year - were most likely to stop work completely, possibly because of childcare costs.
Four out of 10 parents felt childcare provision in the UK was poor.
Stressed out
Having children was viewed as a major source of stress by parents.
As many as 80% of Britons said that having children increased stress levels - either slightly or considerably.
But stress levels did not seem to be affected by working status: parents who were working full-time experienced similar stress levels to those who had given up work to raise a family.
The little time parents spent together as a couple was the main casualty of modern working arrangements, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation said.

"I want to be a (better) data scientist, but online courses just don't cut it."
We hear this from virtually every candidate we interview.
You have a profound interest in Data Science.
You've taken MOOCs on Machine Learning.
You're confident about your coding.
You feel ready for the next step.
But something's missing...
Sounds familiar?
...Enter Data Science Retreat
"The learning rate is tremendous. Data Science Retreat has pushed me to my limit and beyond"
– TOAv: Data scientist at Newyorker (batch 08)
Data Science Retreat brings together top data scientists and participants seeking exceptional growth.
Our students are an international bunch of highly educated and talented data scientists in-the-making. They all come with a unique idea and are ready to seize the opportunity of turning it into a reality.
Using Github activity as a signal that technical workers are looking for a new job
This project goes to show the enormous potential of Machine learning and data-crunching. An abstraction over a deceivingly simple concept: workers who are looking for a job get active on GitHub. And on Linkedin. And on Hacker News. Can a machine know when you are going to switch jobs? Or when you are thinking about it? That would be the right time to approach someone with a job offer.
AI-powered highlights - Deep-learning the interestingness in Starcraft 2 videos
The videogame industry is bigger than Hollywood, yet watching game replays is tedious since you have to go through lots of boring stuff to get to the interesting bits. This portfolio project makes machines understand and predict peaks of interest of an audience, also called highlights. In this case, Starcraft is the subject because of the thriving video community it holds.
Epileptic patients never know when their next seizure is going to come. They fear leaving home unaccompanied. They cannot drive. They cannot cook. Would their life quality increase if a machine could warn them when one is about to hit them? This project reveals a model designed to predict epileptic seizures in patients with astonishingly high accuracy.
"Exposure to data scientists who are at the highest level in their field. That has gone beyond expectation."
– STEPHAN (BATCH 02), whose portfolio project turned into a company
DSR is the only program worldwide whose mentors are at the Chief Data Scientist and CTO level. They are invested in your progress, and will train you to have the right mindset, to solve business questions with technology, and how to advise leaders. Some mentors teach, others provide advice during portfolio project time.
Meet our graduates
The Retreat
Our approach to teaching is highly opinionated, and is based on our extensive experience in state-of-the-art machine learning, data science, and big data engineering.

- Small class sizes
- Battle-tested material
- Expert mentors, at the top of their game, who are good at teaching.
Don't take our word for it. See for yourself
Is this for me?
Data Science Retreat is for people with previous work experience and basic knowledge of machine learning.
Programming knowledge is a requisite. We don't expect you to know data science related languages, but we do expect confidence in your coding, because you will spend most of your time doing it.
You do not need a deep mathematical background. Some techniques, though, rely on linear algebra and probability theory.
We update and improve our curriculum for every batch of students coming to DSR.
Its emphasis is on helping you find questions you can answer with modern technology and on producing the best performing model humanly possible.
You will present your work to different audiences. We will train you to do it, but you may want to feel confident speaking in public before applying.

Kovacevic: Want more goals? Try net gain
A couple weeks ago, the NFL's commissioner strongly suggested he'd be open to eliminating the extra point. Roger Goodell called the kicks "automatic" and added, "You want to add excitement with every play."
A bit before that, Bud Selig, Goodell's counterpart at Major League Baseball, began pushing a ban on home plate collisions. His motivation wasn't excitement, obviously, but to prevent concussions and other injuries.
Bold stuff, huh?
Both those changes, if approved, would wipe out prominent elements of football and baseball that have existed since their births more than a century ago.
Now, in that context, let's look at the NHL. And let's assume the league has a commissioner who prefers to address problems with actual authority rather than ducking or delegating.
(Yeah, I know it's Gary Bettman. Just play along, OK?)
What's the NHL's biggest problem?
From this view, it's the lack of scoring.
Feel free to disagree, but the game would be more entertaining, more popular and, thus, stewarded by more people who would care about more serious stuff like goonism and player safety. Nothing leads to change quite like multiplying outrage.
Since obstruction rules in 2005 offered a brief reprieve from the NHL's perennially sinking scoring, the league's average goals per game has gone from 6.05 a season later to 5.52 currently. There were 116 shutouts in 2005-06, and we're on pace for 155 now. We had six scorers hitting the 50-goal mark then, but only Alexander Ovechkin is on that pace now. We had 11 40-goal guys then, but only six are on that pace now.
This is a problem, even if Bettman abjectly refuses to even acknowledge it. For every great goaltending duel that brings a 2-1 game, I'll show you 10 dreadful duds. For every diehard who takes delight in tactical excellence, I'll show you 100 who change the channel after the first few minutes without a goal, never to return. And never mind the impact on players becoming individual stars.
The solution?
Bigger nets.
There. I'm done.
I could moan about officiating and hooking and holding and traps and passive boxes. I could even get a little creative and propose that penalty-killers no longer can ice the puck. (I mean, seriously, who in the name of Guy Carbonneau thought to give the penalized team a special advantage?)
But there's no need when the solution is so painfully obvious.
The nets currently are 6x4, and that hasn't changed since the Stanley Cup was more of a Dixie Cup. And yet, in all the time that's passed, the players have grown by roughly 3 inches and 30 pounds in the past half-century, and the goaltending pads have grown at the pace of a Michelin Man a decade.
The rinks are at least a little larger, the lines have been repainted, rules have been modified, all aimed at additional offense, and none of it's working.
I say they should grow by the width of the post, so every shot that currently clangs off would now go in. That's the most common thought attached to this subject, and it's a sound one.
Or, in an idea proposed by former NHL vice president Mike Murphy in 2009, the only time this issue ever took traction, they could keep the existing size but angle the posts inwardly — rather than having them rounded off — so that more shots will enter rather than ricocheting out.
Wouldn't even look much different to the naked eye.
Well, be sure it won't be easily done, and Bettman isn't the only reason.
The most common argument against is that history would be distorted, that Sidney Crosby should have to shoot at the same net as Mario Lemieux or Gordie Howe, that goal records would be out of whack.
As Marc-Andre Fleury, who unsurprisingly chooses status quo, put it over the weekend, "The records are with these nets, right? That's big. There's history. They should think about that."
Sorry, Flower. With all due respect, that history's already been blown to bits.
Look at footage from just 15 to 20 years ago. The goaltenders were comparative skeletons. In that era, a Guy Lafleur or Mike Bossy could burst down the wing and rip a slap shot from the outside hash that would find twine. Heck, I remember Ron Duguay and Randy Cunneyworth doing it. When it happens now — almost never — we call them "old-school goals."
If anything, restoring the shooting room that was in place for the bulk of the NHL's existence will respect history, not defile or distort.
Another argument is goaltender safety.
Again going back to Fleury, "All of our training is on these nets, so it would be tough to switch. Even a small change would be big."
He's right. Splits would be more extreme on the wider shots. Some would come higher, too, risking the head.
Moreover, you can't shrink goaltending equipment any more than was done through stricter enforcement two years ago. Skaters are faster than ever, and their sticks are now loaded weapons. Goaltenders deserve to counter that safely.
But hey, it's not like they're happy about shots hitting the posts now, right?
Another argument, plain and simple, is that it's just too big a change.
"Everybody talks about scoring, but the league is pretty good right now," Kris Letang was saying. "Look at the standings. Basically, everybody but a few teams has a shot. That's what we want, right? It's supposed to be competitive. That's exciting, teams having a chance. Why change if it's already going good?"
So, tight and competitive, or high-flying and fun?
Hockey's greatest period of growth came in the explosive 1980s when Wayne Gretzky and Lemieux shoved the game into the national mainstream. I'll take growing the nets to grow the game.

Theatr Mwldan continues its traditional summer outdoor performances at the Welsh Wildlife Centre, Cilgerran in partnership with The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales beginning with Macbeth on Tuesday 19 August at 7.30pm.
Award-winning and Equity endorsed Illyria return in August, this time taking on the greatest of Shakespeare's tragedies; Macbeth. The production is performed on a stage closely replicating those of 17th-century touring troupes. Expect a gripping story and the dazzling swordplay for which Illyria has an unmatched reputation.
A brave military hero... A noble and devoted subject... A popular leader respected by fellow Thanes and trusted by the King himself. Macbeth's outstanding qualities and achievements ensure that he has a bright future ahead of him. Three mad witches he meets after a battle confirm no less. Or, rather, two of them do. The third prophesies rather more than a rise in his fortunes: she states that he will become King himself. One
brief, crazy suggestion sows a seed of ambition, causes the unravelling of a great man, and incites a chain of treachery, murder and destruction.
The season of performances, which ends with George's Marvellous Medicine on Sunday 31 August, are presented on a site with panoramic views of the Teifi Marshes, adjacent to the Wildlife Centre building which offers meals and refreshments in The Glasshouse Café, plus gift shop and toilets.
Tickets for Macbeth at The Welsh Wildlife Centre, Cilgerran on Tuesday 19 August at 7.30pm are £13 (£11) £9 children and are available to book from Theatr Mwldan's Box Office on 01239 621200, online at www.mwldan.co.uk, or via smart phone by visiting mwldan.ticketsolve.com/mobile

My Day With Justin Bieber!
So…last week I was lucky enough to interview One Direction! And this week, I had the honor to be able to spend a few hours with Justin Bieber at the Radio Disney studios, interviewing and hanging out. How funny that Justin did the whole interview on his segway! He seems like quite a character!
Ok so, here we are all waiting at the door for him to walk in…but we all turned around and he races through the back door on his segway, he caused quite a commotion!
Here's a few pictures and videos from my day with Mr. Bieber! –

We thought the hostel as a whole was very good. The only problem that we had was a very warm room. Our window wouldnt open all the way, and the heater ran the entire time and could not be shut off. This lead to a few sweaty uncomfortable nights of sleep. That being said, the staff was very helpful, and the rooms were very clean. We just happened to be there on the one warm week in London. My wife and I would definitely still recommend this hostel.

Although the St. Francis School District 15 School Board was there to discuss plagiarism accusations against Chairperson Amy Kelly, two board members took the opportunity to try to get ousted Boardmember Matt Rustad reinstated.
According to Boardmember Suzanne Erkel, she has received many calls on Kelly's September 2011 Courier column that included "The Starfish Story," which was adapted from Loren Eiseley's "The Star Thrower."
Kelly was a major opponent of Rustad and insisted he resign after it was discovered that Rustad plagiarized a 2010 Iste Community Ning blog entry by Vernon Smith, technology director of Socorro Consolidated School in New Mexico, on paperless school districts in the September 2012 issue of The Courier, the district's monthly newsletter, Erkel said.
"This is the same thing," she said.
At least Rustad used the name of the author. Kelly did not, Erkel said.
"Why is it OK for Kelly to do it and not Rustad," she said.
During a private September meeting with the administration and then-Board Chairperson Marsha Van Denburgh, Rustad admitted to the nearly word-for-word plagiarism, but Kelly is still denying her plagiarism, Erkel said.
There seems to be different rules for different board members and there are rumors that the administration is controlling four members of the board and Kelly is the favorite, she said.
While Erkel said she does not think Kelly plagiarized intentionally, "(Rustad) did not intend for people to think he wrote (his column)."
"I think both were unintentional. I think Rustad's (plagiarism) was blown out of proportion," she said.
"I don't think he should have been fired for it."
During Rustad's testimony at a Nov. 14, 2012, administrative hearing, he admitted to intentionally plagiarizing, lying when confronted and creating an alterative article the day he found out that he had got caught in hopes of passing it off as the article he had planned to turn in for the September issue.
"If you are comparing the two (situations) and saying there are similarities, I am not buying that," said Boardmember Harry Grams.
There is no indication in Kelly's column that she was taking credit for "The Starfish" story, he said.
When Rustad's plagiarism was caught, Van Denburgh said she was given his article and a plagiarism checking website.
She followed the same procedure with Kelly's column and it came back as 67 percent plagiarized, she said.
While Van Denburgh said she does not think Kelly intentionally plagiarized, she also does not think board members should be held to the same level as journalists or anyone who writes for a living.
She also believes The Courier staff should be responsible for running a plagiarism check, Van Denburgh said.
A precedent was set with Rustad and the board could be facing a discrimination lawsuit because it is not following the same process with Kelly as it did with him, she said.
The law used to remove Rustad was a bad law and school boards should not be allowed to vote off another elected official, Van Denburgh said.
The two situations are not the same, according to Boardmember David Anderson.
Not once did Kelly claim to be the author of "The Starfish Story," which motivational speakers have used for decades without mentioning the author, Anderson said.
He has heard the same story from a past superintendent, at two Minnesota School Board Association conferences and countless other times, he said.
In her column, Kelly states she wants to share a story and she did not claim credit for the story, Anderson said.
While the people she has been talking to want Kelly removed or to resign, Erkel said she is not asking for that but for the board to reinstate Rustad.
Both situations are the same and both were unintentional, she said.
Smith, who was contacted by resident Bill Gardner after Rustad's column was published, wants his post shared, Erkel said.
Eiseley, who is deceased, was a famous scientist, she said.
Only one motion was made during the discussion on the allegation that Kelly plagiarize – to reinstate Rustad to the board.
The vote failed 4-2 with only Erkel and Van Denburgh voting for reinstatement.
Boardmembers Janet Glover, Grams, Anderson and Kelly voted against.

New network upgrade options allow small ops to focus on running their business.
Independent cable operators that met recently at the NCTC's Winter Educational Conference in Austin, Texas, were focused on a number of issues, but none as critical as the growing competition from satellite and other service providers that threaten their very existence.
Popular demand for high-definition TV and the need to migrate to Internet protocol video delivery pose severe challenges, particularly for smaller operators with constrained resources.
In a recent report, SNL Kagan estimated that 41 percent of the top nine cable operators' digital cable subscribers are being served by switched digital video technology, which is 1.8 million additional subscribers from a year ago, for a total of 17.6 million subscribers near the end of 2011.
Tier 1 operators can bring their large-scale and many talents to bear in meeting HD demand and transitioning to an IP-based infrastructure that better enables content portability and monetization. However, the approaches adopted by large MSOs – analog reclamation, SDV, and now custom-built bridges to the IPTV future – are simply not optimized for smaller-scale operations.
The dilemma faced by independent operators is that the two primary bandwidth-enhancing techniques adopted by large MSOs have not translated well:
• Traditional SDV, while extremely powerful and proven, has a deserved reputation as a very costly and complicated set of technologies. For operators lacking scale and short on "white coat" video engineering and IP networking expertise, it has remained a non-starter.
• The all-digital strategy of reclaiming 300 MHz of spectrum once devoted to analog signals is more limited in terms of capacity-enhancing capability and requires time, effort, and considerable upfront and operating capital, and it means significant subscriber disruption. Significantly, under the DTA strategy, only 100 additional MPEG-2 HD channels cause the spectrum to be full again. In addition, the digital terminal adapters (DTAs) required are, by design, dumb devices and afford no transition to an IP future. Small operator dilemma
For small operators, especially those serving lower-income markets, the need to respond to competitive video threats is urgent.
A mid-2011 study from Leichtman Research Group (LRG) reported that 13 percent of multichannel video subscribers with household incomes under $50,000 were likely to switch from their current provider within the next six months. Consumers who want the best return on their big-screen investment are likely to turn to providers with the most eyepleasing HD content.
The LRG study also indicated that 9 percent of multichannel video subscribers with incomes under $30,000 are likely to disconnect and not subscribe to any TV service. With free over-the-air (even HD) programming and content from online aggregators such as Netflix and Hulu, many budgetcutting consumers could "cut the cord" and get by with an antenna and a broadband connection.
One independent operator that deployed DTAs told a group of NCTC members that while monthly revenue per customer had increased, the increase was just slightly more than the massive, corresponding capex and opex costs and resulted in significant customer disruption during deployment.
Recently, new approaches to economically increasing bandwidth have begun to be utilized by independent operators, enabling them to compete with, or even better their rivals for, HD video and other advanced video services.
Cable Cable, a small Ontario-based operator that deployed a hosted and managed SDV solution two years ago, reported last year that it quadrupled its number of digital subscribers. It also saw a corresponding increase in average revenue per unit (ARPU). The operator's HD channels also increased from 25 to 100, and the company continues to add more each quarter.
Under the hosted and managed scenario, SDV provides a virtual expansion of capacity, surpassing that of analog reclamation, but without the limits or costs of DTAs or the usual complexity of SDV – all while building a bridge to an IPTV future (or, perhaps even an IPTV present), with an advanced, next-generation UI for interactive Web applications and widgets traditionally associated with the latest IPTV implementations.
With new network upgrade options available, independent cable operators can now focus on running their business instead of running scared.
BigBand Networks will tackle the topic of targeted advertising to IP devices in the next edition of Open Mic.

CS Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the basis for the first film in The Chronicles of Narnia. Its success may lead to future Narnia tales.
The film follows the Pevensie children's discovery of Narnia, a magical land entered through the back of a wardrobe.
Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy join forces with the lion god of Narnia, Aslan, to defeat the evil White Witch.
It features the mythical animals, such as the gryphon, the people and the landscape of Narnia - as created by CS Lewis, who wrote the seven books in the series.
William Moseley, 18, plays Peter, the eldest of the Pevensie siblings, in his debut film role.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is actually the second book in the Narnia series. A prequel, The Magician's Nephew, was written at a later stage.
The Narnia books are often viewed as a religious allegory, with Aslan the lion representing Jesus Christ, but film-makers have played down the religious significance.
Tilda Swinton, best known for her cross-dressing role in Orlando, plays the evil White Witch Jadis - a role originally offered to Michelle Pfeiffer.
The film, also starring Liam Neeson, Rupert Everett and Dawn French, was principally filmed in New Zealand. It opens across the world from 8 December.

1: It's a vintage prom dress not a wedding dress.
2: Foremost I'm here looking for interesting conversation and new friendships. I'm not interested in fulfilling "unicorn" fantasies, so sorry no couples.
I'm not a pay for play girl either and might I suggest gentlemen that there are many services around only too happy to cater to that need.
Ok, now that's out of the way. Hi !
A few interesting things about me:
*I'm a big fan fan on vintage inspired and goth fashions (from time to time) I pass the time on quiet evenings trying out new and old styling techniques on my hair for fun.
* I'm an absolute geek for mermaids and would absolutely love to have a swim-able silicone tail of my own one day.
*I'm a big fan of bar-stool philosophy and often like to spend an evening/day/anytime really over a glass of something nice and shooting the breeze over this or that topic.
*I'm a total tea snob. What are some of your favourites?
Otherwise if i'm having a quiet one, I'm all about my bed and mainlining some series or another.
Do you like tea?
Are you inventive and interesting?
Do you like dancing?
Do you like cafe culture?
Yes to the above is probably reason enough to message me.

Former Time Columnist Unveils New Obama Spokesman: Buckwheat
For many years, Jack E. White worked for Time magazine, and as a Time columnist in the 1990s, he routinely accused conservatives and Republicans of race-baiting, or simply being racist. In an article Wednesday on TheRoot.com, an online black magazine started earlier this year by The Washington Post, White attacked John McCain for unveiling what he described as this year's Willie Horton ad and this year's Harold Ford "call me" ad. By noting Obama supported sex education for kindergarteners in Illinois in 2003, McCain is apparently not only race-baiting, but suggesting Obama's a "child molester." But what made White's column really stand out is he condemned Republicans (including Sarah Palin)...in the voice of Buckwheat, the fictional "Little Rascals" character:
"Well," Buckwheat continued, "I fig'ud dat I dun seen 'bout everythin' when I seen de 'publicans turn a pregnant teenajuh 'n' huh baby daddy inter 'xampuls of healthy fam'ly values."
"You mean Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol, and her boyfriend, Levi, who appeared at last week's Republican Convention" I said. "They're planning to get married."
"Yeah, dem," Buckwheat continued. "Kin you imagin' de hootin' 'n' hollerin' dem 'publicans wudder done if dat been one of Obama's kids? Dey sure wudn't have called her a chile of God!"
"I agree," I said.
"Bud dat ain't der thing dat got me so low," Buckwheat moaned. "It's dis new teller-vision ad John McCain dun started."
"I don't think I've seen it," I said.
"Well, it says dat Obama wants ter teach sex education to kindergarten chil'run befoe dey even lerns ter read," Buckwheat declared, with rising indignation.
"Dis ad is as bad as de Willie Horton spot de 'publicans used on Dukakis. It's as bad as dat commer'shul wid that horny white woman de Republicans ran ter beat Harold Ford when he ran fer de Senate down dere in Tennessee.
"Dey tryin' to make Obama seem like a lib'rul nut 'n' a child molester 'sted of a lovin' father 'n' family man! It's a damn lie."
Buckwheat was apparently needed as a soldier in White's war on "racial stupidity." The article's headline was "Palin and McCain Dun Got 'Em, Boss," and it carried an explanatory introduction:
The big doings on the presidential campaign trail prompted Jack White, a regular contributor to The Root, to revisit his favorite satirical playground, the fictional home for Retired Racial Stereotypes. He listens as famously-clichéd characters from yesteryear sally forth to battle racial stupidity.

When he returns home to his Irish village, the recently ordained Gabriel finds that his new found religious zeal is not as compatible with family cohesion as he might have wished.
Matthew Macfadyen leaves Mr. Darcy far behind to play a repressed zealot in rural Ireland in the 1960s. Centring on the return home of the newly ordained Gabriel (Macfadyen), this drama pits fanaticism against family when the new minister tries to impose his own rigid morality on his father (McSorley), brother (Mays) and sister-in-law (Birthistle).
It's interesting to see a film about religion in Ireland that doesn't also feature terrorism or sectarianism, and Macfadyen injects depth as well as brimstone into his character. But while it's beautifully shot in blues and greys, it feels a little too theatrical to ever quite fill the big screen.

Prince Harry has been getting his hands dirty doing charity work in southern Africa.
The young Royal is in Lesotho with soldiers from his army regiment, helping to rebuild a centre for disabled children.
They'll be doing all sorts of jobs, including plastering walls, making a new fence and finishing off the ceiling!
They're working with lots of charities, including the Sentebale charity which the prince helped to set up to help orphans and other vulnerable children.
Working on the school is the final stop for the soldiers on what has been a big expedition across southern Africa.
During their trip they've had to travel, sleep and even cook in their vehicles. Check out Harry cooking breakfast for everyone in the back of this 4x4.

Anthony Wordsworth is closing in on move from Colchester United to East Anglian rivals Ipswich Town.
The midfielder is due to have a medical with the Championship club over a switch to Portman Road in the transfer window.
Wordsworth had been linked with a £200,000 switch to Town earlier this month, having been invited to train with Mick McCarthy's squad.
A concrete bid did not materialise but the Gazette understands that a fee closer to around £100,000 could prove enough to land the U's playmaker, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
Wordsworth was linked with a move to Charlton Athletic last week but no bid was submitted and Addicks boss Chris Powell played down the speculation.
U's boss Joe Dunne stated last week that Wordsworth may have to put a move to a bigger club on hold and help Colchester with their relegation battle, between now and the end of the season.
However, it now seems as though Wordsworth, who was suspended for the U's 2-0 win over Walsall, could now move on before Thursday's transfer deadline.

Wellington - Rather than chasing cars, dogs in New Zealand are being taught to drive them – steering, pedals and all – in a heartwarming project aimed at increasing pet adoptions from animal shelters.
Animal trainer Mark Vette has spent two months training three cross-breed rescue dogs from the Auckland SPCA to drive a modified Mini as a way of proving that even unwanted canines can be taught to perform complex tasks.
The motorised mutts – Porter, Monty and Ginny – sit in the driver's seat, belted in with a safety harness, using their paws to operate specially designed dashboard-height pedals for the accelerator and brakes at Vette's command.
The car's steering wheel has been fitted with handles, allowing the dogs to turn it, while the "starter key" is a dashboard-mounted button that the dogs press to get the motor running.
"There are about 10 different behaviours involved, so we had to break them down into each behaviour – using the accelerator, feet on the wheel, turn the key on, feet on the brake, the gear and so on," Vette said.
The dogs began their driving lessons on a mock-up rig, learning basic commands through clicker training, before graduating to the Mini.
So far, their experience in the modified car has been limited but they will undergo a "doggie driving test" live on New Zealand television on Monday.
Footage of the old dogs being taught new tricks has attracted more than 300 000 views on YouTube and also proved a trending hit on Twitter.
Vette said training a dog to drive a car on its own initially seemed unbelievable but his canine charges had risen to the challenge.
"[They've] taken to training really well, it really does prove that intelligent creatures adapt to the situation they're in," he said. "It's really remarkable," Vette said.
The dogs all had difficult backgrounds – Ginny was neglected, Monty dumped at the shelter because he was "a handful" and Porter a nervous stray, according to the Auckland Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The idea was the brainchild of Auckland-based advertising agency DraftFCB, which was commissioned by Mini, which has worked with the SPCA previously, to come up with a campaign that would challenge pre-conceptions about shelter dogs. – Sapa-AFP

Lying directly on the Great Masurian Lakes, the petite town of Mikolajki is a popular holiday and water sports resort, rightly dubbed "the Pearl of the Masuria". Well-known as host to numerous summertime regattas, it attracts thousands of sailing enthusiasts every year. Another magnet for tourists and visitors is the annual Festival of Sailors' Songs, featuring the finest performances of shanties.
Mikolajki TOURISM
The gateway to the enormous Lake Sniardwy, called "the Masurian sea", Mikolajki is a smart and cosy town with some delightful red-roofed houses and three bridges. Though tourism has taken over the town with hotels, shops and eateries, the effects of this have not been too detrimental and Mikolajki still manages to preserve its charm. So, whatever your idea of holidays on the lakes, Mikolajki is sure to deliver what you enjoy.
Mikolajki is a small town of about 4,200 inhabitants, located in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodship in the north eastern part of Poland. The town lies right in the heart of the Great Masurian Lakes, between two narrow ribbon lakes – Lake Mikolajskie (499 hectares) and Lake Talty (1160 hectares), and Lake Sniardwy, the biggest lake in Poland and covering 11,383 hectares.
The name of this former village, a town since 1726, derives from Saint Nicholas, protector of sailors and patron of a chapel standing on the windmill hill. The name appears for the first time in documents from 1444. These documents confirm the granting of land near Mikolajki, then a village belonging to the church, by the Teutonic Grand Master to a nobleman called Wawrzyniec Prus.

Prince Barack? How about a Prince Elvis?
Ever since the Duchess of Cambridge first announced her pregnancy, international bookies have taken bets on everything from the Duchess of Cambridge's due date to her baby's first word (the odds-on favourite is "PaPa").
But nothing has generated more speculation – and heated bidding – than the baby's name. He's not yet a day old and may take weeks to officially name, but this hasn't stopped bookies from accepting tens of thousands of dollars in bets.
So far, the odds-on favourite for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first-born child appears to be George, with 7/4 odds on Irish betting site Paddy Power and 3/1 odds on U.K. site Ladbrokes. This lines up with a Globe and Mail survey earlier this month which also had George as the favourite boy name for the royal couple.
George is Prince Charles' middle name and was used by both the Queen's father and grandfather.
Rounding out the top six are similarly regal names, like James, Alexander, Louis, Arthur (the middle name of both Prince Charles and Prince William) and Henry.
While the serious speculators are putting their money on blue-blooded names steeped in tradition, other less-than-serious names have made the betting table, too.
With the odds at a slim 5001/1, at least one person has put money on the chance the royal couple will take their cue from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and name their child, North.
Similarly implausible options include Psy (5001/1), Rumpelstiltskin (500/1), Joffrey (500/1), Barack (250/1) and Elvis (500/1).
Also submitted for consideration (probably by guys named Greg, and Robbie and Jahmene), are the names Greg, Robbie and Jahmene.
It's unclear what will happen if the baby is given more than one name. According to tradition, members of the British monarchy are generally given three or four names. Prince William is actually William Arthur Philip Louis. And Queen Elizabeth's full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
And for those who prefer longer-term bets, gamblers can have a go at guessing the royal baby's career choice, too (odds that he'll follow in his mother's family's footsteps and go into party planning is 50/1).
Or bet on when you might first catch a glimpse of the royal son in person – Canada is currently leading that race as the favourite with odds at 2/1.Report Typo/Error

Nice atmosphere, very clean. The dining room is comfortable and there's a microwave, which is useful (but only oe though). There're drying machines available, which was really useful for us on a rainy day! Beds are clean and comfortable, rooms are warm... but really really small!!! (at least the 6 beds dorm I stayed at). Very friendly staff. Poor breakfast.

It was a lovely time at the hotel! The staff is kind, the place is super clean, my room was really really smal, and, however, it was comfortable enough. My bed was dreamy! and goods services provided too... tv in the room, perfectly heated environment, electric kettle and supplies in the room, etc. In all, really good! I would have loved to stay more than 2 nights! The only thing is that it does not have a good computer service, for example, to download your pics.

China retained it's top ranking in global gold production for the sixth year in a row with 403.05 tons in 2012.
According to China Gold Association, output last year grew by 11.66 percent a year ago and almost 100 times from 1949, when the country achieved independence from British colonialists.
China's first recorded gold production back then was at 4.07 tonnes.
Earlier, the China Gold Association said that it aims to produce between 420 and 450 tonnes of the precious metal in 2015, while consumption may reach 1,000 tonnes by then.Read More...

A Perfect 8 Pound Thai Souvenir
It finally arrived from the N.T.S.D.I.B.A. (National Thailand Stork Delivery of International Babies Association)
Brand new video of Sophie and I performing the milkshake
Final State of the Belly Report
Moments before going to the hospital
With time to spare, Nadine and I tried on the hospital clothing wear, gowns and underwear
So the trip that started in the Cook Islands, left us pregnant in Thailand, and concluded in that great state of Texas finally came to completion August 3rd at 9:55 p.m. in Omaha, Nebraska. The reason it has finally concluded after 20 hours of labor at 9:55, our Thai souvenir Sophie Christine entered the world. She made her appearance on the world stage with a head full of hair on her 8 pound body and a set of lungs that would give Pavoriti a run for his money. Our only original hope, outside of being intelligent, athletic, and good looking, was that she be healthy, and that she was.
The new family of 3
As we both sit here in the hospital happy and fatigued, we are faced with our next big adventure, raising this child to be a responsible world citizen. Pretty big stuff. After her first trip when we take her home, we need decide where to take Sophie on her first travelling trip? We could take her to New Mexico, but we love this child, so we won't put her through that. I think initially even more challenging than trying to cross a Saigon road full of scooters is going to be and try to figure out how to correctly change a diaper and not drop the contents on the floor.
Proud parents
So this officially concludes our RTW trip 2006-2007, but this doesn't mean an end to our travels, just a change in the way we travel. We will keep you aware of any future comic travel experiences that we take on as a trio.
With that, my next dream trip would have us travelling around the Americas starting in Alaska all the way down the western coast of the Americas to Chile and back up the eastern coast through the Caribbean to Nova Scotia. Now if I could only find a few sponsors. Or maybe I should try to figure out that swaddling thing first.
Final question - Where should we travel first with Sophie in tow and why?
John, Nadine, and Sophie Christine

We are into our last weeks of regular Track Season. In fact next week is our last Duel Meet, and the NBC Championship. Monday We did an easy run, 3 miles with some pick ups in the last mile. My guys were really distracted, in fact they ran out in front of two cars in the first mile. This is something that this bunch has been really good about, they are all experienced road runners and normally keep a good eye on traffic. After that first mile they settled down and paid better attention. Except for the sudden shirt snapping battle that erupted during the second mile. As long as they don't go overboard I let them have their fun, these guys work hard enough and deserve a break every now and then.
Tuesday we had a Duel Meet in Carrolton. I had talked to all of the kids at the end of practice on Monday about these last few meets being very important, and that they need to trust in the training that has gotten them this far. During the meet I mostly just get their times, and try to be there to reassure them. I spend most of my time with the girls from my group clustered around me, and the guys in a little group right around them. This is a really tight knit group, and I am really proud of them all.
My son ran the second leg of the 4x800 and when he finished he sounded horrible. He had been suffering from bronchitis, and I'm worried that it may be something a bit more serious. He will be going to the Doctor again soon. We didn't do so well in the boys or the girls 4x800, but the head coaches have not wanted to stack those teams so I guess we don't worry about those.
Next up was the mile. My #1 boy blew everyone out of the water in this one, and it wasn't his fastest of the year, 4:49. On the Girls side my Exchange Student picked up her final points to letter, but in doing so she beat one of our other girls. After the race she was afraid that the other girl was mad at her, I told her not to worry the other girl is always mad at herself when she doesn't run as well as she should. Shortly after that they were all back to joking around.
My 400 girl didn't perform up to her normal standards. The Girls Coach threw the teams top girl in, and my girl is always intimidated by that. The other girl is a sprinter, and the 400 is just a little too much for her, but she still won the race. I told my girl just to stay with her, she is strong enough to do it, but she ended up taking 3rd and adding 4 seconds onto her PR with a 1:08.
In the 800, again my top boy won with a 2:09, but the gils didn't do so good.
Before the 2 mile I had a long talk with my second girl from the mile. I told her that she was a lot stronger than she gave herself credit for, and that all the hard work she put into her workouts meant more to me than any race win, but she needed to put that hard work to good use and just do her best. She didn't place but she stuck with the leaders, and she PR'd. On the boys side my #2 boy came in second, and my #3 boy came close to 3rd.
We won the meet, although it was close, and again my distance kids scored a lot of points. We had several PR's, that while they didn't help the team, they showed that my guys are improving, and that is what I am all about.
Today I did a little run with Jagger, just 5 miles. He stopped quite a bit but over all it was a good run. I got to thinking, for the last few weeks I have been wearing a heart rate monitor, and I haven't been looking at the info. So what was the point, I know that the info there was important, but I haven't been looking at it, and I haven't tried to find out what any of it might mean.
So I started looking. I had commented on a post from deucedeuce the other day not to worry about his heart rate going into the 180's during speed work. I had hit 189 the other day during hill repeats, and this was one of the reasons that I dropped them to 7 sets instead of the planned 10, but really why.
Any way I looked closely at the 10k I ran the other day. By 5 minutes in I was into the 180's. by the turn around I was at around 187 but just slowing to turn around, and getting a drink dropped it back to 180. Then by 25 minutes in I was at 190. that climbed slowly and steadily till the end. In the final sprint to the finish I hit 198. I wish that the thing would continue to read after the race so I had an idea how long it took to recover. I felt fine within 5 minutes of finishing. In fact if I were to guess I would say that it had dropped back to normal well within 10 minutes of the finish.
In comparison, today was easy and I didn't go over 176, even on the hills.
My normal heart rate is in the 60's, but from what I understand at my age max heart rate is supposed to be around 180. I think I need to do some more looking, but I'm not too worried about it. I think that my effort level was good, and I didn't feel bad at all. Not like I could run any faster, but like I could have kept that effort up for a longer time.
Any way, I need to get ready for work. Have fun, and enjoy Spring!

AN INQUEST into the death of a retired Stroud builder whose family thought may have been exposed to deadly asbestos found his death was natural.
Ivor Gardiner, 80, probably did work with asbestos during his long working life but a post mortem found that he had died from heart and lung disease possibly related to long term smoking.
Mr Gardiner, of East View Cottages, The Camp, Stroud, was born in nearby Bisley and had lived in the area all his life, Gloucestershire Deputy Coroner David Dooley heard.
He died at home on September 8 last year.
His son Robert told the hearing at Gloucestershire Coroners Court that he had worked as a farm labourer and then for thirty years as a tiler.
During this work, for local company Freemans, he said he would have been exposed to asbestos.
Mr Gardiner's GP Dr Rhys Evans said he had smoking related chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) He had colon cancer in 2010, he said, and started suffering from lung congestion in September 2011 with severe breathlessness.
A scan showed severe lung fibrosis and he said lung damage had been noted as far back as 2005.
The CAT scan had not shown any of the typical changes associated with asbestos and he said there was little therapy available.
Mr Gardiner returned home after admission to hospital on August 12 2012, and he then deteriorated and died.
Consultant pathologist Professor Neil Shepherd carried out a post mortem and did find plural plaques, but he said that there was no lung cancer, and death had been caused by bronchopneumonia as a complication of COPD.
Microscopic analysis of the lungs found the pneumonia present throughout but only minor fibrosis.
"There is little doubt that the main change in the lungs was congestion, together with chronic bronchitis," he said.
He also found heart disease and gave the cause of death as pneumonia and heart failure caused by the COPD and heart disease.
Summing up, Mr Dooley said the post mortem had found no asbestos-related disease, and that Mr Gardiner had died from a combination of two natural disease processes.
Verdict: natural causes.

Ghost Breakers
Bob Hope - Larry Lawrence
Paulette Goddard - Mary Carter
Richard Carlson - Geoff Montgomery
Paul Lukas - Parada
Willie Best - Alex
Anthony Quinn - Mederos twins
George Marshall - Director
Arthur Hornblow Jr. - Producer
Walter de Leon - Screenwriter
Theodore Sparkuhl - Screenwriter
Charles Lang - Cinematographer
Ernst Toch - Film Score
This remake of the Paul Dickey-Charles W. Goddard play, first filmed as The Ghost Breaker (1922), was designed to cash in on the success of The Cat and the Canary (1939). That film began in the middle with its old-dark-house setting, this follow-up takes rather longer to get going. Ditching the Kentucky family feud motif from The Ghost Breaker, it has Bob Hope and his black servant Best, soon matching quips for the role as first coward--"If two men come down, let the first one go, that'll be me"--making their escape from importunate gangsters.
The plot has Hope as Larry Lawrence, a radio star who has made his reputation as a muckraker. Fleeing from a murder in a hotel he ends up in the trunk of Mary Carter (Paulette Goddard) who is on her way to Cuba, where she has inherited the haunted Black Island and its haunted Castillo Maldito. Once on the island, Mary runs into Parada (Paul Lukas), her old friend Geoff Montgomery (Richard Carlson), and the scheming Mederos twins played by Anthony Quinn. Meanwhile, at the castle awaiting Larry and Mary are the Mother Zombie (Virginia Brissac) and her giant zombie son (Noble Johnson, who was the native chief in the original King Kong). Larry and his trusted valet Alex (Willie Best) go ahead to the castle to make sure everything is safe for Mary.
But once they are in Cuba and inveigled into accompanying Goddard to the haunted castle she has inherited, the temperature is considerably chillier than it was in The Cat and the Canary. The wisecracks keep flowing ("Basil Rathbone must be throwing a party," Hope remarks as a thunderstorm greets their arrival), but there is genuine menace in the zombie lurking in a tumbledown shack by the fog-laden pier, and real flair in scenes like the discovery of Lukas's body sinisterly laid out in a coffin. This is probably Hope's best film. In 1953 Paramount retooled The Ghost Breakers to fit the talents of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, and the result was Scared Stiff (also directed by George Marshall) with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby popping up for an uncredited guest appearance.

The 2016 Unicorn Darts range is the exhilaration of excellence blending 75 years of experience with innovation and state of the art technologies. Working with UniBoffin and our world championship team we bring you our finest ever darts, backed up with an impressive range of accessories to enhance your skill.
For the latest news Unicorn products and players, major tournaments, competitions and insights. Led by Styart Pyke, we bring you news from around the world of darts.
Team Unicorn is without doubt the finest team of international darts players in the world containing more major tournament wins and winners than any other. It is perhaps the greatest recommendation of the brand that so many great professionals use and promote Unicorn Darts.
Unicorn Community continues to expand on a daily basis. Unicorn's Website, YouTube, Facebook. UniLab, UniScore, 180 Club and Sigma Owners Club are all attracting new followers. Competitions, Heritage, finishing tips and "how to play" videos are all here. Thank you for being part of the Unicorn Community.
On Friday 25th October 1974, the cream of British sports journalists were invited to the Press Club in London, where news of a major new world darts championship was launched.
With more than £10,000 in cash and prizes on offer - £2,000 going to the ultimate winners - the Unicorn World Darts Championship, open to teams of two, was the first truly international darts tournament of its kind attracting teams from no less than 15 countries. The winners also held the magnificent Unicorn Trophy for one year; a solid gold globe, surmounted by three solid gold darts, it was valued in 1975 at £3,000.
The launch was attended by Henry Cooper, who set the tone of serious competition and true sportsmanship that became an integral part of the competition and has continued in the sport ever since.
A series of regional finals throughout the UK produced 29 teams, 16 from England, 5 from Scotland and 4 each from Ireland and Wales, who would compete for the 4 national titles and join the teams from overseas for the World Title.
Easter Weekend 1975 was the time; the West Centre Hotel, London the location. Anyone who was fortunate to be there will remember with affection a truly memorable weekend of darts, fun and friendship. The Unicorn World Championships set the standards by which all later tournaments were judged. The weekend not only included the darts, but a magnificent cabaret night starring Bob Monkhouse and Tommy Trinder, with dancing to Acker Bilk and His Paramount Jazz Band.
The Unicorn Weekend also gave darts administrators from around the world a forum to meet and discuss the worldwide opportunities for the sport. From these meetings the World Darts Federation was conceived.
Unicorn sponsored the Championships for a second year in 1976, which were transmitted on ITV's World of Sport. Such was the success of this coverage that it attracted viewers mid-way through the Boat Race, which was being shown on BBC TV. Bermuda entered for the first time this year and the cabaret night starred Jimmy Tarbuck and Kenny Lynch. Also in 1976, the North Midlands were represented by a 29-year-old joiner from Clay Cross called John Lowe.
After the successes of 1975 and 1976, many large corporations were attracted to the sport as sponsors and we were able to return to our primary function of producing the world's best and most comprehensive range of darts, something we still do today.
However, we look back on these championships with both pride and affection, sure in the knowledge that we played a major part in the development of the sport as a TV spectacle and in its international administration. We are also proud of all the players who took part, especially those who reached the finals, who also contributed much to their sport.
Again, Unicorn proved to be "the Big Name in Darts".

'Superbass' May Be a Jay-Z Song Sped Up
Could Jay-Z be playing a super over the top elaborate prank on us?
Okay, so the thought that Jay-Z actually recorded 'Superbass' and sped it up to sound like Nicki Minaj is super highly unlikely. But when you listen to 'Superbass' slowed down, it brings out Nicki's inner Jay-Z. It's kinda crazy!

Bob Costas is one of the most respected and honored broadcasters of his generation. The 22-time Emmy Award-winner – who is dad to son Keith, 25, and daughter Taylor, 21 – is set to host American Giving Awards on Saturday (December 10). The NBC program, presented by Chase, will be the first-ever televised celebrity tribute to community heroes. A total of $2 million will be granted by Chase to five charities that will be participating in the show.
Bob opens up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about the upcoming program with entertainment from Taio Cruz, Miley Cyrus, Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Dancing With the Stars champion J.R. Martinez, and a special tribute to celebrity dad Colin Farrell.
The celebrated broadcaster says he's happy to lend his talents to this worthy cause.
I think celebrity is pretty much an empty concept and it's an overindulged concept in our culture to the point of absurdity," Bob says. "But what you can do, if you have some recognition, is you can turn that recognition into some good things. And I think a lot of people, especially that I have been associated with through the years in sports and in broadcasting, have tried to do that."
As dad to two grown children, Bob says hosting American Giving Awards fits well with his family values.
"I think that's always been part of what we try to do," Bob says of teaching his kids to give back to their community.
"And my kids growing up in St. Louis, that was always part of what I tried to do with my time there was to do as many charity events as I could to work with causes in St. Louis and nationally," the father-of-two says. "It's a privilege that comes with recognition. And if you can turn that recognition into something worthwhile, then it's a good thing to do and I would hope that both of kids kind of observed that as they grew up."
It sounds like American Giving Awards is what the holiday season is all about!
Well it's part of it, sure," Bob agrees. "It fits perfectly in the spirit of the holidays. And I think it has an aspect to it beyond charity to sort of a competition in a sense. The winning charity will receive the $1 million grant. So it has a little bit of suspense attached to it beyond just the good works."
While the vetran broadcaster agrees times are tough, he encourages us to dig deep to help others in need.
It's difficult for people sometimes to dig deeper when their own economic circumstances may be less favorable than they used to be," Bob says. "But everybody can, to the extent that they're able. You know, it may not be as much for some people as in other years or as they hope it'll be in subsequent years, but all of us, to the extent that we're able, can help out."
Tune into NBC Saturday, December 10 at 8:00pm/EST to watch the fist-ever American Giving Awards. And go to Facebook for more information.


text: Just what the BYU basketball team didn't need as it prepares for No. 6 Baylor on Saturday in the Marriott Center happened at practice on Thursday afternoon. Sixth man Stephen Rogers, who is averaging 9.9 point and 2.2 rebounds per game, injured his knee at practice and was taken to a nearby hospital for an MRI. "Stephen hurt his knee. And he's had a problem [with the same knee] for about two weeks," coach Dave Rose said. "He had to come out of the Utah game the other night because he bumped knees. But today it seemed pretty serious. He was in a lot of pain, and they took him to the hospital to have an MRI. So we will know a little bit more about that tonight." Rose said it will be a "big blow, if [Rogers] can't play," at noon on Saturday against the Bears. Tuesday, Rose announced that forward Chris Collinsworth had exploratory surgery on his sore knee and that the 6-9 sophomore will be out for three weeks or more.- More odds and ends from practice: * Rose said that Matt Carlino won't start against Baylor on Saturday, but is expected to get some playing time. The coach said he hasn't decided yet who will start at the point, Craig Cusick or Anson Winder."That is a good question. I am really comfortable with both those guys at the point guard position," Rose said. "I think that the last two days of practice, they have both practiced well. I just feel that we have some really good depth at that spot." I asked Rose if Carlino is going to be as good as advertised."Come to the game. Or turn the TV on, one of the two," he said. The game will be televised by BYUtv. The coach said Carlino will see the floor. "We will get him in. He will get minutes, and then we will see how he plays, and we will go from there, kind of like the majority of our players. We have got a really deep team, and hopefully we can get a lot of really good play out of [our] whole roster," Rose said. "Basically, that's kind of how we have done things here for a long time. If you play well, you play more. And hopefully we get a lot of guys playing well." * Rose said Baylor reminds him of the Houston teams he played on, which were known as Phi Slamma Jamma and featured Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon. "I think they had 10 dunks the other night in a game. That's probably more dunks than we have had all season," Rose said. * The coach said this is the first of a home-and-home series with Baylor. Baylor coach Scott Drew's only stipulation was that the game be played on Dec. 17, and that it ends before 3 p.m. so the Bears can get back to Waco on Saturday night. Baylor has a game on Monday, against Paul Quinn, an NAIA school in Dallas.
