Students from across the nation will join the Texas winners at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center for the national awards ceremony to be held on Saturday, June 25, 2011, as part of the Wildlife Forever State-Fish Art Contest Expo and Art's Better Outside event. Practicing artists are invited to demonstrate, show and sell their work and interact with the students. Booth space for the event can be reserved by contacting James Booker at (903) 670-2266 or email@example.com. Artists in all media are invited.
The public portion of the State-Fish Art Expo will be held June 25, 2011, and will feature fishing, instructional seminars and demonstrations and a display of all the state and national contest winners. Plans are being made for a day-long schedule of events with food booths and outdoor activities and displays that the public can enjoy in addition to viewing the artwork and voting for the People's Choice Award. The public can also vote for the People's Choice Award online at www.wildlifeforever.org.
One outstanding piece of artwork each year is selected for the Art of Conservation Award, and a commemorative stamp featuring the artwork is produced for sale. Proceeds from sales of the stamp are used to fund conservation projects. The 2011 winner will be unveiled at the expo.
Also to be unveiled at the expo is the winner of the Seth Thomas Spradlin Best of Show Award. In 2008, Spradlin won the Best of Show Award and the Art of Conservation Stamp Award. In late August 2010, during his second summer earning funds for college as a seasonal employee for the National Park Service in Alaska, Seth and his brother Neal lost their lives in a bush plane accident in remote Katmai National Park. "Seth's artwork inspired us all. I remember feeling a sense of wetness from the splash in his painting. That element of engagement and his untimely loss challenge us to remember and recognize his talent. I am pleased to rename our top award after him to inspire future young conservationists to excel and achieve in the outdoor world," said Wildlife Forever CEO Doug Grann.
Public admission to the expo and related activities will be included with paid admission to TFFC.
The State-Fish Art Contest is a project of Wildlife Forever. Located in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, Wildlife Forever is a non-profit multi-species conservation organization dedicated to conserving America's wildlife heritage. Working at the grassroots level, Wildlife Forever has funded conservation projects in all 50 states, committing millions of dollars to "on-the-ground" efforts. Wildlife Forever supports habitat restoration and enhancement, land acquisition, research and management of fish and wildlife populations.

Treme Episode 2: "Meet De Boys on the Battlefront" (April 18)
After an on-air sacrifice (by Coco Robicheaux) costs Davis his job, he agrees to work at an upscale hotel in exchange for money from his parents. Janette also turns to her parents for a loan, but doesn't get as much as she'd hoped. Angry that a contractor failed to repair her roof, LaDonna's spirits are raised when Toni announces that Daymo has been found. Antoine considers playing on Bourbon Street when his other gigs run dry. Disillusioned that his university is cutting departments, Creighton considers finishing a novel he started long ago. Still in town to record with Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint, Delmond gets into a jam and is bailed out by Albert, who takes justice into his own hands when his tools are stolen. Later, reunited with tribe mate George Cotrell, he breaks out the tambourine and starts practicing for Carnivale.

I see this trend popping up again and again in real weddings – ghost guest chairs and I love it! They add such a clean, modern element to any wedding ceremony, whether it be indoors or out. Ghost chairs add character without being overwhelming or feeling over designed. They can easily transition to any wedding theme or design and add a chic touch to your wedding décor.
Ghost chairs transition well from wedding ceremony rows to reception table chairs too. If you have to rent chairs for both occasions, why not rent just one chair that will fit both spots? Most couples tend to have a time between the ceremony and reception for a cocktail hour (while bridal party pictures are taken) in a separate venue, even if they are all taking place on the same ground so using them in both locations will not be an issue.
Whether you rent them for one event or your entire wedding day, you're sure to be pleased with these chairs.

Post-operative Radiotherapy in Poor Responders Ewing's Sarcoma Patients

- How to Read a Study Record
Local recurrence after surgical resection is a complex phenomenon. An important predictive factor is the response to chemotherapy. Central site of disease may be a second independent predictive factor (Lin et al. 2007). Patients with more than 10% viable tumour cells at surgery following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy had a less favourable outcome with an Event-free Survival [EFS] of 47% after 10 years. Patients with good histological response (< 10% viable tumour cells) after chemotherapy alone had a prognosis of about 70% after 10 years.
However, further studies are necessary to determine the merit of adjuvant radiation for high-risk patients (poor responders). Taking into consideration that the toxicity and morbidity of combined surgery and radiation is greater than either alone and must be closely monitored.

SOUTHEND Airport will not be sold to balance the books, its owners have vowed.
Stobart Group, which has ploughed more than £100million into the airport's regeneration, has said it will not consider cashing in on the asset to soothe its strained finances.
The company is thought to want to sell several parts of its empire, after warning shareholders it would not generate as much profit as expected this year.
But in a statement issued to the Echo, Stobart said it was "as committed as ever" to Southend Airport.
The statement added: "Southend Airport, and the substantial Stobart Group investment in its development, has resulted in an outstanding success story.
"This summer we will reach the first million passengers through the airport since its redevelopment.
"New routes continue to be announced and the airport benefits business and the region as a whole on the back of its success.
"Stobart Group is very proud of Southend Airport and is as committed to it as ever."

Danny Granger may have
June 30, 2005
Former University of New Mexico men's basketball star Danny Granger was introduced as the newest member of the Indiana Pacers today at a press conference in Indianapolis. Granger was selected by the Pacers in Tuesday's NBA Draft with the 17th overall pick. He is the sixth Lobo in school history to be selected in the first round.
"A lot of my friends were say how I get to go play with Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal, and I was like, "Yeah!" stated Granger. "It's very rewarding. I am coming to a team that I know will make the playoffs next year and that is more experience for me."
To watch clips from today's press conference that include comments from both Danny and his father visit www.NBA.com/Pacers or click here.Below are quotes from Granger, Pacer head coach Rick Carlisle and team president Larry Bird taking from both the draft night press conference and Granger's introductory press conference in Indianapolis today.
Larry Bird Quotes
2005 NBA Draft
June 28, 2005
What are your thoughts on the draft?
"Well I didn't think we were going to get either one of them. I didn't think there was any way that Granger was going to be there and on our board we had him as the fifth best player in the draft, very skilled, long arms, pass, dribble shoot, we're happy. Lorbek at 46 is a kid I've been watching for the last three years, he went to Michigan State a year, he's over in Italy playing right now, but he's solid. He's 6'10 _", not real athletic but knows how to play, strong, can shoot and face up to the basket so we're pleased with what we got tonight."
You said Gerald Green would be the only guy you would take. Did you take Granger because of what he could add to a possible championship team?
"Believe me, Granger is a better player. Granger could come in here tomorrow and play. He's very talented; I never dreamed he would be there. When he came off the court, when he came in for a workout, I couldn't believe he came in for a workout, and when he walked off the court I told him I was sorry for ever bringing him in because he was too good to come in and think he was going to be drafted at 17."
Why did he drop?
"I have no idea."
Could it be a couple of injuries to his shoulder and meniscus?
"I don't know. I saw him play a lot this year, he played alright and we checked out his shoulder and checked everything and they gave us an OK on him so we feel very confident that he'll be ready to play."
Where do you see Granger fitting into the team?
"Well he (Rick Carlisle) didn't tell me what his plans were but we both agree that if we were in the playoffs right now and he walked in that he is one guy that can step in and play and give us some quality minutes."
Rick Carlisle
"There were probably like four or five guys in the draft that could step in and be ready to play in a first or second round series right now and he was at the top of the list."
Are there guys on your roster now that need to pay close attention on how you drafted?
"I don't think they'll believe it until he comes in and starts practicing against them. He's a very multi-talented player and has a lot of skill. I think he makes us better."
Greg Anthony mentioned Scottie Pippen as a comparable player. Do you see that?
"There are some similarities. Scottie was a great defender, a great off-the-ball defender. It's just hard to compare him to Scottie Pippen. But he is a multi-talented player that can grab rebounds, push the ball up the court, make plays, shoot, block shots, defend, he can do about all of it."
Do you think he can add some leadership right away?
"Yeah, I hope so. I've always said that we need some leadership on this team and I think his teammates will love him because he gets after it and he plays hard and he's a great kid. I think we're very fortunate we had the opportunity to draft a young man like this."
Is character a part of the decision?
"Talent. (laughs) He's got the whole package."
As the draft went on did you think "Wow, we have a shot a drafting some of the guys we didn't think we had a shot at?"
"Right up until Toronto. I think Toronto got a heck of a player in Joey Graham. But to have Granger fall to us, I still can't believe it. I think he's that good of a player."
What do you think of the make-up of your team?
"I think we're going to be very deep. This makes us a lot deeper. We got very good players in this draft. We got Ron Artest, we got Jonathan Bender, Lorbek is going to stay in Europe for a year, and Danny Granger. Rick's got to be pretty pleased with this draft."
Rick Carlisle:
"The good thing about Granger is he's a multi-dimensional, multi-positional player. He can play small forward, he can play the finesse power forward position and I still happen to believe he's good enough to play a little of two here and there with certain match-ups. He's a pure basketball player. He's the kind of guy that which would fit in 20 years ago when we were playing. He just plays the game and loves to play and happens to be not only a talented player but a terrific kid. Every once in a while you get really lucky like this."
As a coach how enjoyable would it be to have Granger play three different positions? Rick Carlisle: "It's great to have those options and it's also great to have somebody that, we had a situation this year where Ron was out of the lineup the whole year and I don't think that's likely to happen again but if it did, we have a guy behind him that's very much a quality player."
With Reggie gone, can drafting a guard ignite a low confidence in the guys you still have on the roster?
Rick Carlisle: "We think the guards we have are good players. But our moves tonight don't preclude us from doing other things with trades and free agency. But that's Larry's department."
Are there any other teams across the East that improved themselves?
"I really haven't looked at it. I was there when they were drafting but teams had multiple picks before us and I thought they went pretty well but I was so concerned with our pick because early on it didn't look like it was going well for us. At the end, I'm on the record now saying this guy is a helluva player, he better be able to play and he can and I think he's going to be a great addition to not only our team but our community."
Rick Carlisle: "The great thing about getting to draft a guy like Granger is you add good players to the mix and the competition makes your guys better. They have to play at a high level to get their jobs and keep their minutes. That's what this is about, it's about being the very best you can be and the only way anybody gets better is to draft really high level players."
Does this give you freedom to make other moves later on?
"Yes. We're not done yet, we don't have major plans but we have things we'd like to do. We solidified two positions."
Rick Carlisle: "What is great where we could use him is that he could have gone to Yale." (Laughs)
Larry Bird: "Yeah, he does a lot for us, I'm telling you. He really makes it easy for us. I wish I was coaching again."
Was there any talk of moving up?
"Yes, and we would have like to but if we were going to get Granger I thought we had to go number five. I knew there was no way of doing that. But we did try to move up to 13 one time and we couldn't do it. Like I said earlier, when the draft was going on we were holding our breath for awhile because every pick I thought Granger was going next."
Why did Granger come for a workout?
"Because his agent was doing me a favor. Last summer I brought one of his players in to go through our camp and I talked to him to see how the kid was doing and he said he had Danny Granger and I said I'd like to get him in here just to see how good he is and he said if I got him in early he'd bring him in. So he was one of the first guys we brought in."
Did you figure you were wasting your time?
"We brought some other players in and I just wanted to see if he was as good as advertised and he did pretty well."
What did he say when you apologized for bringing him in?
"He just laughed. He knew it. He was sure he was going to go in the top seven or eight."
Do you think he is like Paul Pierce when he dropped?
"That's what I felt like in the draft."
Do you feel like you got a Paul Pierce? "I don't know about Paul Pierce but I just never dreamed this kid would be there. Now we'll see if he can play."
Rick Carlisle:
"We talked to him and he was really thrilled to be coming to us. I think he feels like this is a situation where he can be on a winning team right off the bat. You like to have that as a motivator by winning."
Does this impact the need or desire to bring back James Jones?
"James Jones is very much in our future. We'd love to have James back."
Rick Carlisle Quotes
NBA Draft 2005
June 28, 2005
Opening Remarks
"Well, this is kinda shocking really, that we have an opportunity to draft a guy like Danny Granger. We were hoping to be able to take somebody that was experienced and ready to help a team like the Pacers. We had him rated as the fourth or fifth best player in the draft. Why he dropped so far, I'm not sure but a lot of people wonder how Paul Pierce dropped so far back in '98 or '99, whenever that was. But Granger is a complete basketball player, highly skilled at the three position with the ability to play some at the finesse four spot and the skill and quickness to play a little at the two if he had to do that. It gives us great insurance at the small forward position and other positions as well. I know that he was a great scorer at New Mexico. 6'7", 6'8"-ish; but with over a seven-foot wingspan. So he's built like a true basketball player that can block a lot of shots too."
Did your eyes get big when you saw Granger drop to 17?
"There were some surprises. The tenth pick was a pivotal pick because Bynum was taken at ten and a group slid down. Villanueva going at seven shook things up below that. So I think there were some things that happened a little differently than predicted. This has been a strange draft in many ways. We were looking at the possibility at one point at Graham, Granger and Warrick, all guys we had very highly rated. So our scouts also liked Green as a prospect. But when Granger came down to us, we were just amazed. He was a guy that everyone in the draft room agreed would be a great player for us and really ready to help right now, which is really important in the position we're in right now."
Did Granger's experience influence the decision?
"When you hear the phrase `best player available,' we really felt if we would have had the fifth pick he would have been the best player available. That's how strongly we felt about Danny Granger's ability not only to play in this league but on our team. We were very fortunate tonight and very happy."
Any theories as to why he dropped this far?
"No, but one thing I've learned over the years, 20 years in this now is that when guys unexpectedly drop, there isn't always a real reasonable explanation. Sometimes it just happens. I happen to believe that the pick at seven set up some changes as the draft went on and Bynum coming into the draft at ten changed the complexion and not many people had May going to Charlotte at 13 and that was another sort of place where things changed a little bit."
Is there a position Granger plays best?
"He's one of these guys that he can play any position on the floor. You hate to pigeon-hole him by saying he can only play this. He's a guy that plays the game well and has a very good feel for the game. His natural position is probably the three spot but it would not preclude him from playing some four and it would not preclude him from playing some two in some situations. But, you know, we're in a great position having a guy like Ron Artest at three but having a guy like Granger with his kind of abilities and experience is great insurance at the 3, 4, and 2 spot."
Will he compete for playing time?
"I don't think there is any question he is going to compete for playing time. I can't tell you the number of minutes he's going to play but you're talking about one of the really accomplished players in this draft in terms of skills and abilities. He has a great track record, he's done it over a period of years now in college at a high level. Those things mean something." Was there anything from his workout that stuck with you?
"Well, he had an opportunity to go to Yale and turned it down, when we talked to him and that's impressive. And really, truthfully we had him in here pretty early in the process with three other guys not thinking that the was any way we'd have a chance to get him at 17 but it was great that he agreed to come in. The kid presented himself as a humble kid, very upbeat, much in awe of the prospect of coming to the NBA on one hand, and in the other hand, very eager to prove himself. He's really a top-notch quality person based on everything he's done. All the people we've talked to, coaches, he's just one of the people you don't hear any bad things about."
NO milk drinkers?
"Yeah, we said we didn't want ALL milk drinkers. We will allow some."
You guys said there was no way you could get him.
"After we saw him in that first workout, I said to Larry `Do we actually have a chance to draft this guy?' And Larry said `No, probably not.' But he agreed to come in, and maybe because he just wanted to be here, I don't know the reasons for that for sure. It's certainly an unusual situation. His game and his skills, he's a four-year guy with some similarities to Tayshaun Prince with the long arms, ability to score, good shooter, those sorts of things. Certainly not exactly like that but there are some similarities especially when you factor in the fact that he played four years."
Greg Anthony said he was like Scottie Pippen.
"When you look at the body type, and the wingspan and sort of his level of basketball IQ and those sorts of things, the comparisons are not unreasonable. Of course we're talking about Pippen who is a sure fire Hall of Famer, but a lot of the tools are similar."
When your turn came, was there any hesitation at all?
"No. No hesitation. We were down to the last three picks and we were sure Granger would go in the next two and when he didn't it was just like an initial shock. And Larry went around the room and everyone said Granger. It was very decisive."
Was anything said that you remember?
"Just that as it went along and as it gets closer to your pick. It seems like that five minutes for each pick gets shorter. The guys at the table kept saying `Boy, there is no way Granger could fall to us is there?' And one person after the next was saying it. It was shocking but we feel very fortunate. This is another complement to the guys we have and a really high, high guy and a real competitor."
How do you think he'll fit in with Artest and Jermaine?
"Well he's a very good outside shooter. He has the ability to post up at the three. At the four, he can step out and face and drive the ball. He's got good rebounding numbers and he is just a very attractive player to us because of his experience. He's a four-year player, he has a good track record, he's got consistent stats that got better each year in most areas and his level of maturity is something that we were drawn to."
Was there a temptation to contact teams ahead of you?
"There was a lot of that over the last 10 days with not much luck. We had an opportunity to move up two or three spots yesterday and today and that didn't work out. The player we were thinking of taking at a higher level, we never dreamed it would be Danny Granger. So this was one of those times that we really had some good fortune."
Danny Granger Press Introductory Press Conference
June 28, 2005
Opening Remarks from Larry Bird
"Good afternoon, we're here today to introduce our newest member of the Indiana Pacers. As tradition, you know this is his day. I won't say much other than a couple remarks and Rick will have a couple. But I feel the same as I did last night. I think we have a quality young man who's got an opportunity to do good things in this league. He's one of the good guys, so I hope this league after two or three years doesn't poison him. He's got a lot of things going for him other than on the court so we're very happy and very proud to have an individual like Danny. Danny Granger Sr. is sitting over there, you can stand up."
Opening Remarks from Rick Carlisle
"Yeah, we talked a lot about this guy last night. He is the epitome of a basketball player. He can do a lot of different things on the basketball court. We're very fortunate today to be able to introduce him to you."
Opening Remarks from Danny Granger
"I just want to say I'm very happy to be here and I'm glad I was selected by the Pacers and I'll do my best to help my team win in any way possible. Questions?"
Just talk about your emotions right now.
"It's pretty overwhelming to step right in here, because I didn't get much sleep last night. It's a long process but I'm glad I'm finally here. A lot of people dream about going to the NBA and I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity."
How nice is it to play in a basketball state?
"It's very nice. Like you said, this is a basketball community. Whenever you have the community supporting you it makes it that much more rewarding. To play basketball and come in with a winning team like the Pacers that went to the playoffs last year, I would not sell that, it's really good to come in."
Larry said last night that if the playoffs were tomorrow you could come in and play.
"It means a lot. I mean I'm glad he has confidence in me. I have a lot of confidence in myself. I played four years in college and gained experience and with that I think that I can help the team."
Do you think staying in school for four years will help you?
"Most definitely. I think going four years in college is an experience. Whether it is bad or good you learn from it. So I went through that and having done that, I feel it has prepared me for the NBA."
After having injuries the last three years, how are you feeling right now?
"I'm feeling really good, I think I had only one injury where I missed games and that was my knee my senior year. But I'm pretty good right now."
After talking to your college coach, he said you wanted to play when your starting center went down and you were still injured. Is it your mindset that you always want to be on the court?
"At that moment I don't know if I was ready to play. Honestly, I would have played but coach wouldn't let me because he didn't think my leg was ready when our center went down. But definitely, I want to win. Sitting on the side watching my team lose at New Mexico was real tough when I was injured so I was trying to get back as soon as possible. That's always my mindset, whatever I can do to help the team win I'll do it."
How well do you know the Pacers?
"I've watched the NBA since I was young. I could probably tell you the starting lineups for a lot of different teams around the league. Just as well, I know the Pacers. Last year no one thought they'd make the playoffs but they made it anyway with all of the things that were going on. I think that's a tribute to the organization and coaching staff that they did go so far and that they'll do better next year."
Talk about how it will be to play with the Pacers.
"A lot of my friends told me I get to go play with Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal and stuff like that. It's really rewarding because I'm on a team that will make the playoffs next year and that will be even more experience for me. Sometimes if you get drafted really high to a losing team, you won't make the playoffs for two or three years. I'm definitely in a good situation."
Your junior year you put up better numbers than your senior year but you enjoyed your senior year more because you contributed to a winning team?
"I think winning is the ultimate goal. I had better numbers my junior year than my senior year but we were 14-14, right at .500. So I think winning, when you lose it gives you a feeling you really don't want to have. The whole purpose of an athlete is you want to compete at the highest level possible and if you are capable of winning that game you want to win that game. Winning is definitely what you're going after regardless of how many points you're scoring. If I don't score any points and we win the game, I'll be happy."
What colleges did you consider out of high school?
In high school I was more of an academic student so I wasn't that highly recruited. I was recruited a little bit by LSU and Tulane. I had an opportunity to go to Yale because I was at the top of my high school class. I had a chance to go to Columbia, schools like that and I was a civil engineer major so I ended up going to Bradley because it was one of the top civil engineering schools in the Midwest."
Were you a late bloomer in high school or were you unknown?
"I was a little unknown and a late bloomer. I think when I set my mind to learning something, when I focus on it, I pick it up a lot faster. When I turned my focus to basketball, while still trying to concentrate on academics but turning my focus my sophomore year, I actually tried to get better at basketball, practicing and everything, I started learning really, really fast. I started picking up things and I still haven't learned all that I can so I have a long way to go."
What are your plans between now and the summer league?
"Honestly, I don't know. I got a call yesterday saying I had to call the Pacers so I could fly in tomorrow morning so I'm just taking it day-by-day. After this is done today I'll find out but as of right now, I don't know."
Is it going to be helpful having your Dad in town living with you?
"Definitely, I don't know about living with me. (Laughs) He might live close by or something. But it will be nice to have my Dad around because he's always in my ear whether it's negative or positive."
How did being a Jehovah's Witness shape your life?
"I was raised in a Christian home, Jehovah's Christians. We weren't allowed to curse as kids, we were brought up in a really respectful way with really good values and that helped me coming along as a man because a lot of days some kids were brought up in the wrong way and luckily my parents brought me up the right way."
Where did you think you'd be drafted?
"I was thinking, along with a lot of other people apparently, that I wouldn't fall out of the lottery, as high as four and as low as 14 or something like that. But some people were saying 20 or whatever and there was a lot of speculation that Utah would take me but then Utah traded. I've learned that you don't believe what NBA people tell you. (Laughs) I've learned that along with a lot of other things. We all had a little conversation about it like `man, don't believe nothing they tell you, it's not true' so I'm just happy to be here. I'm glad it's all over with. It was a fun experience and I'm glad to be here."
What were you thinking as you dropped?
"Actually once it got out of the top 10, I was kind of hoping that we would get to the Pacers because when I came here to workout I loved it. I had no intention that I would actually fall that low and I would come here. But it was nice, I was sitting at the table with my agent and we got past 10 and once you get into that lower range it's not that big of a difference going 12 or 15, it really doesn't matter. My agent said he hoped I could go to the Pacers and I said I didn't know if I'd fall that low and he was like you might so I was like we'll see. So then we got to the 16th pick which was Toronto and I was like well the Pacers are right there so we were just praying that they (Toronto) wouldn't take me because we wanted to go to the Pacers and they took Joey (Graham) which is a friend of mine and the Pacers were next."
Did you feel like you were wasting your time at the workout?
"I didn't feel like I was wasting my time, I was happy. I got to meet Larry Bird; all my friends at home were tripping out about that. I didn't think I was wasting my time. I came in, did the workout, my agent was kind of skeptical about sending me because he thought I was going to go higher. But I thought the workout was good."
What do you think you do best?
"My game, I do a lot of things well. But that's what makes me special. I rebound, I block shots, I'm a pretty good passer, I can steal and I make three's. So I think I have the ability if my role isn't to score, I can do a lot of things to make the game. A lot of players, if they aren't scoring, they aren't making their presence felt on the court. But I think I can do that."
Will you have any motivation against the teams that passed you up?
"Maybe a little motivation but I don't really take it personal. Like you said, some teams drafting for me, some making a trade and have ulterior motives in their mind so I don't really take it as a personal issue. I may mark all the teams that went over me, I might circle that date on my calendar next year when we play them or something like that but don't really take it personal. I'm just going to take it at them no matter what."
Do you feel transferring to New Mexico ended up being a good thing in the long run?
"I think it was a great thing actually. I love New Mexico. I probably wouldn't have rather played in any other place. When I transferred I had an opportunity to go to a big conference like the Big 12 or the Big 10 but I chose New Mexico and I think it was the best decision of my life."
Even though you are a very nice guy off the court, you play with a bit of a mean streak on the floor. Where does that come from?
"It comes from my Dad. You have to play with some kind of chip on your shoulder in a game. I mean, once the ball stops bouncing and you're off the court, you should be friends again and leave it all on the court. But I think once you're on the court it's a competition, the weak don't survive. I think you have to go out and play your hardest and shake hands afterward, go out to dinner or something but while you're on the court you're competing."

A FAMILY from Southend have been on a journey of discovery to Real Madrid's football ground where their father made history by becoming the team's first ever British player.
Not a lot of football fans will know that Real's first foreign signing hailed from Southend in the shape of John Fox Watson who signed for them in 1948.
He moved there from playing for Fulham to join the Spanish team when such moves were rare.
With him went his wife Judith, son John, then six months old and daughter Carole, then aged three.
John Watson (junior) has run the Jolly Roger cafe at the Arches in Southend for the last 25 years.
He made the journey to Real Madrid recently with his family to relive the days of his late father.
He said: "My dad made history really, he is also the only Scotsman to ever play for the club."
Mr Watson, 66, his son Spencer , 43, and grandson Nicholas, eight, were invited to Real Madrid to see the famous Bernabéu Stadium and visit the club museum which documents the club's history.

For Immediate Release
Nubaria – The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), in cooperation with Blue Moon LTD, inaugurated a new produce handling center in Nubaria yesterday. The produce handling center provides modern processing and storage facilities for Egypt's burgeoning high-value produce export market.
"The agriculture cooperatives in Nubaria are key players in developing the premium produce market in Egypt," said Dr. Mary C. Ott, Mission Director at USAID in Egypt. "Thanks to their efforts, Egypt is growing high-value produce that meets global standards for export."
In collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Nubarian Agriculture Cooperatives, and Blue Moon LTD, USAID rehabilitated the pack house, which has helped farmers obtain more advantageous pricing for their produce and eliminated costs. As a result of the improved post-harvest facility, 118 new jobs have been created for men and women in the community.
USAID provided training for 4,000 farmers in Beheira and Marsa Matruh on Global Good Agricultural Practices and Fair Trade standards that enable them to access high-value local and international fresh produce markets. Aligning with Fair Trade standards allows farmers to more fairly compete in international trade, provides a safety net, and brings money into the communities. These practices ensure sustainable use of land and water resources and mitigate food safety risks.
This initiative is one facet of a comprehensive package of technical assistance from the American people that promotes job creation, economic recovery and reform, private sector business growth, and a stronger trade and investment environment. Over the past two years, USAID activities have led to new or better full-time employment for over 40,000 people and short-term jobs for another 20,000. These projects are part of the nearly $30 billion that the American people, through USAID, have invested in Egypt since 1975.

Reds' wild game features Hoover's odd walk
PITTSBURGH -- Baseball has a tendency to get weird, especially when the outcome is a foregone conclusion and a few hundred fans are left in the stadium with the clock nearing midnight after a rain delay.
Trailing by six runs with their bullpen already gassed, the Pirates turned to right fielder Travis Snider to pitch the ninth inning of Wednesday night's 11-4 loss to the Reds. A position player taking the mound in a blowout isn't all that much of an oddity, but couple it with a relief pitcher in the batter's box and you've got a quirky concoction straight out of baseball's twilight zone.
Reds reliever J.J. Hoover entered the game in the seventh after the one-hour, 15-minute rain delay, and in an effort to save other arms, manager Bryan Price tasked Hoover with finishing the game. The pitcher's spot was due up third in the ninth against Snider, and in his first Major League plate appearance, Hoover drew a six-pitch walk.
"I know that over the course of my years in this game, I've seen a lot of things," Price said. "But seeing Hoover get his first Major League at-bat against an outfielder ... I can't remember seeing anything remotely close to that."
Hoover, who was 0-for-17 with 14 strikeouts in the Minor Leagues, reached base for the first time in his professional career. A native of Elizabeth, Pa., a town just south of Pittsburgh on the Monongahela River, Hoover had some friends and family at the game who stuck around and were loudly chanting, "J.J.!" during his plate appearance. And though he didn't make contact, his first Major League plate appearance was a memorable one.
"I was still late on 84 [mph], I couldn't imagine someone throwing 95," Hoover joked.
Hoover's offensive adventure was not over at first base, as the next batter, Billy Hamilton, grounded a double to left field. With possibly the Majors' fastest player behind him, Hoover (6-foot-3, 230 pounds) went from first to third in a sprint that featured a moment of hesitation that his teammates aren't going to let him forget about anytime soon.
"They've been joking around with me about going first to third," said Hoover, who is the proud owner of a career 1.000 on-base percentage. "I kind of stuttered at second, because I saw the ball on the ground, and decided to take third. It was a lot of fun."
Hoover ended up scoring on the next play, a Todd Frazier single.
After Hoover crossed the plate, the inning took another turn for the bizarre, as Snider struck out four-time All-Star and 2010 National League Most Valuable Player Award winner Joey Votto. Somehow, it seemed like an appropriate ending, and one that only baseball could provide.

TEENAGE prodigy Scott Finch insists he is not daunted by the prospect of facing off against the world's best at next month's Wildwater World Championships in Italy.
Finch, who turns 18 today, earned a sensational call-up to the Great Britain squad for the senior worlds after securing a fifth-placed finish at a selection race in Bala, Wales, last month. The Wiltshire Youth canoe club member is now set to take on the world in the men's kayak event on the Adda river in Valtellina, on June 9-14.
Wiltshire College student Finch, from Melksham, has twice competed at the junior world championships, also hitting the water at the junior European Championships.
He can draw inspiration from family friend and fellow international Hannah Brown, who stormed to victory in the women's K1 sprint discipline at last year's Wildwater World Championships in Slovenia.
Finch's family brought Bradford on Avon ace Brown's gold medal back to Wiltshire and the young paddler's Italian adventure could be the first stroke towards his own senior international honours.
"I've paddled since I was eight years old and I've raced for Britain since my 15th birthday, which was the earliest I could be selected," said Finch, who has also been selected for this year's junior Europeans in Bosnia & Herzegovina, as well as the ICF(International Canoe Federation) World Cup series.
"This is going to be my first senior world championships and I'm quite excited – it's a big jump up for me.
"I'm not going out there expecting to get anything, so I'm just going to enjoy the experience. I don't know what the other competitors will be like but I know that it's going to be on quite a fast river.
"I'm not worrying about it too much but maybe it will sink in a bit more when I fly out there on June 5.
"We know Hannah Brown quite well and when she won last year, we took her medal back home for her – I took quite a few pictures of it."
Brown, 24, will also be in action in Italy as she aims to defend her K1 sprint title.

Strange Toupee TurmoilThese brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.
All except one of the following ten sentences have something distinct in common.
What is this thing that they have in common and which sentence therefore doesn't belong in the group?
1. True, we were pert to tee it up.
2. Yet we quit our trip pretty wet.
3. Pity you wore your toupee.
4. Wipe your toupee up top.
5. Peter put it out to rot.
6. Poor you!
7. I owe you, Pete.
8. I wrote up your report.
9. Prior to two, you were quite put out.
10. I urge you to try to retire your pique!
AnswerAll of the sentences except the last one are comprised strictly of the letters found on the topmost row of letters of a standard keyboard.
This is not the case for the last sentence containing the letter "g" which is found on the second row of letters of the keyboard.

The University of Colorado at Boulder today announced another major step toward greening its campus by naming Moe Tabrizi director of campus sustainability. The appointment was effective Dec. 2, 2010.
Currently CU-Boulder's energy conservation officer, Tabrizi will continue to work in collaboration with the CU Environmental Center, Housing and Dining Services and CU Student Government to further CU's many campus sustainability initiatives.
"As a university, we've already made large strides in achieving goals in sustainability," said Frank Bruno, vice chancellor for administration. "In order to get beyond what we've already achieved, there will be a need for greater collaboration and innovative ideas. Elevating Moe's current position will help to facilitate and coordinate these efforts."
As CU-Boulder's first sustainability director, Tabrizi is charged with the task of meeting the "Greening the Government" Governor's Energy Orders, as well as campus initiatives that include:
--Reduce energy consumption by 20 percent by 2012
--Reduce water consumption by 10 percent by 2012
--Reduce petroleum use by 25 percent by 2012
--Reduce paper use by 20 percent by 2012
--Utilize energy efficient and sustainable design standards on all new construction and applicable renovation projects. All such projects shall seek to meet or exceed LEED Gold Certification.
CU-Boulder recently was the first college campus to rank gold through the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education's Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System, or STARS. With more than 230 colleges and universities registered with STARS, this rating accurately compares colleges and universities around the nation, and is a key measurement of CU's national leadership on sustainability issues.
Tabrizi will spearhead CU's combined efforts on a number of challenging long-term tasks, such as achieving carbon neutrality. He will serve as the campus's chief sustainability coordinator and spokesperson on issues of sustainability. He will interface with key campus leaders, as well as with officials from state and local government and from other universities, to ensure that CU-Boulder maintains its national leadership position on sustainability issues.
"I am honored by this appointment," said Tabrizi. "I look forward to working with valued campus partners including our amazing student leadership at the Environmental Center and to making new progress on a bold sustainability agenda."
In addition to moving the campus forward on many goals and initiatives, he will continue in his role as the assistant director for engineering in the department of planning, design and construction.

Nano-LaboratoryScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Time has passed, and new technologies have been developed. The job of our nano-laboratory is developing new products of "nano" accuracy. For example, if we develop telescopes, we do not allow an error of even a nanometer in the lenses, because this will result in great error when put to use.
The first project of our laboratory is producing nano-purified water, i.e. no ion is allowed to have a concentration of more than 1 nanomole per liter.
No matter how hard we tried, we failed. Why?
HintRead carefully.
AnswerWater is a weak electrolyte. In water at room temperature, the concentration of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion each equal 10^(-7) mole per liter, which is 100 times 1 nanomole per liter.

DETROIT - Bruce Rondon's three-week apprenticeship at Triple A Toledo ended Tuesday when the Tigers summoned their hard-throwing rookie right-handed reliever ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals at Comerica Park.
READ: Tigers need to avoid temptation of impulsive trade
Rondon will replace right-handed reliever Octavio Dotel, who has been placed on the disabled list with elbow irritation. The promotion follows a suspenseful spring camp in which Rondon nearly made the team ahead of Opening Day.
After being installed as the favorite to become manager Jim Leyland's ninth-inning closer, Rondon was often unsettled during his Grapefruit League performances, although at times his 100 mph fastball and slider combination were devastating.
The Tigers decided at the 11th hour to allow Rondon additional time at Triple A as he refined his command and his primary two-pitch repertoire. In seven appearances with the Mud Hens, Rondon did not allow a run. His numbers spanning 7-2/3 innings: five hits, nine strikeouts, two walks.

We just can't keep up: We've barely finished breathlessly recounting the details of Britney Spears' post-divorce makeover, when she — oops! — did it again. The newly single pop star stepped out Dec. 8 in L.A. with newly dark hair, continuing her follicular ping-ponging over the past few months. No word on whether her stylist Rita Hazan — who was responsible for Brit's short-lived blonde bob — engineered this makeover as well. What's your take: Do you like Britney better blonde or brunette?

The TG TRUE SIZE paddle measurement method was created to make ordering goalie sticks online easier, and more accurate. As each manufacturer measures their sticks in their own unique way, we created this method to help you compare your stick at home with the models that we have in our inventory. By knowing how your current stick size compares to the stick that you're looking to purchase, you can make the best purchasing decision possible.
To measure your current stick, place the end of the tape measurer at the point where the top of the paddle meets the shaft of the stick on the non-blade side. Then, measure down the paddle in a straight line until the tape measurer crosses the bottom of the blade to determine the TG True paddle size. Keep in mind that this measurement may vary depending on the blade pattern, but it will help you choose the most comparable size.

Trainloads of heavy crushed rock are now arriving in North Platte, to be stored in a new yard on the north side of the tracks, just across the street from one of the towns favorite bars, The Hub.
The aggregate will be stored in North Platte. It can be shipped back out on rail cars or on semi-trucks for construction, paving and roadbed projects.
Granite is primarily used for track bed for Union Pacific.
Customers at the Hub have used part of the property for parking. Ag Valley Coop has used part of the ground for temporary outdoor store grain during harvest season.
New sidewalk and privacy fence were installed along West Eighth around the yard. Inside, the ground was excavated to a depth of 12-18 inches and covered with crushed rock.
The development came fast. A new semi-truck scale was constructed within three weeks, construction manager Tom Doerfler of Salina Scale said.
The first trainload of rock was expected May 22. Trains are unloaded with a backhoe that stands on top of the railcars.
Martin Marietta is the nations second largest aggregate producer, district sales manager Matt Cooley said. The company uses its own unit trains, 72 cars long, and can ship 8,000 tons of rock per train.
Martin has a cooperative arrangement with Ag Valley Coop, which leases the ground from Union Pacific.
Under the agreement, Ag Valley will continue to store grain in bins on the property, manager Kent Weems said. Ag Valley also has a locomotive and will use it to move rail cars along the siding track for Martin Marietta.
Weems said Ag Valley will keep using a group of round grain bins as needed during harvest season. An historic wooden grain elevator is also on the property, but was taken out of service 6-7 years ago. Weems said it will eventually be torn down.
At one time, Martin Marietta was primarily known as an aerospace company, but in 1995, Martin Marietta merged with Lockheed Corporation to form Lockheed Martin and the next year Martin Marietta Materials became a separate and independent entity.

Not only that, but no one can beat the One Tree Hill star for designer loyalty — she modeled creations by each of the designer's whose parties and shows she attended on the first official day of Fashion Week! She started the day at the 10 am BCBG show in a ruffled chiffon dress by the line, and then changed into a sweet strapless Abaete frock to attend their show. Off to Charlotte Ronson in casual downtown-girl gear, and then on to channel Gwen Stefani in all L.A.M.B. at her blockbuster show. Last stop was the mega Calvin Klein party, hosted by Hilary Swank and Djimon Hounsou, in a clingy Calvin sheath. Whew! Tell us: Which of Sophia's fashion week looks do you like best?

Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Detailed Description:
PHPC-02 is a phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled trial designed to investigate whether therapeutic immunization during highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) induces elevations of HIV-specific T cell precursors with high proliferative capacity (PHPC) in HIV-1-infected individuals, and whether the quantity of PHPC correlates with the viral load set point following analytical treatment interruption (ATI). Subjects will be randomized to receive either DermaVir Patch (8 subjects per cohort) or DermaVir Patch Placebo (8 subjects per cohort) every four weeks for three applications while receiving maximally suppressive HAART. HAART will be discontinued at Week 9 for an ATI period of 20 weeks.

IT may have taken longer than he would have liked, but manager Dougie Freedman believes he has finally got Wanderers playing in the style he wants.
Tuesday's 2-1 victory at Doncaster was a sixth win in the last 11 Championship matches – a run that includes one solitary defeat at home to Brighton.
And that game at the Keepmoat Stadium epitomised Freedman's current philosophy perfectly.
Wanderers started on the front foot attacking at will, switched to protect their lead and then adapted again to wrestle back control of the match to see out the win.
Freedman believes his side now have that Championship knowhow they were missing at the start of the season.
He said: "When I look back a year, although we are in a different position, I like what I am seeing now because I know we can go and control games.
"We can express ourselves and that comes with a change in personnel.
"It has taken me a long time to get playing the way I want to.
"Last year we had certain personnel and had to work to play a certain way with them.
"I think we have had balance in the last dozen or so games. We have a bit more running in us and can mix it a bit more physically now.
"The Championship throws all sorts at you and you need to be more physical at times. You have to match that.
"This year has been very frustrating with a transition on the field because we need to pass the ball through midfield, through the Medos and Spearings.
"It might not give you chance after chance but it is a more attacking and attractive way of playing and we have seen glimpses of it like at Leeds and against Blackburn at home.
"We can certainly pass and score goals."
The style of playing with just one orthodox striker is not universally liked, with some dissenting voices amongst the Whites faithful.
When Freedman opted to withdraw goalscorer Joe Mason in favour of the more defensive Liam Trotter on Tuesday, there were some boos and chants of "4-4-2" from the 700-strong away following.
The boss acknowledges the fans' desire to play with two up top but insists he will do whatever suits each game to get his team accustomed to winning consistently at Championship level.
Freedman added: "I know the fans want to see us play with two strikers and I want that as well.
"But I don't want us to bash it up there with two strikers.
"I felt we needed to get more control of the game (at Doncaster) with 15-20 minutes to go and the change did that.
"There are reasons why I make changes and I like to think I know what I am doing at Championship level and how to win in this league.
"We are a Championship club at present and we have to compete to win games at this level to become a Premier League team again.
"I'm not critical of any football fan because I am one myself.
"But you get Twitter and things these days with people saying we should be doing this and that or 'Who's Jutkiewicz? he has only scored once this season' – then people are singing his name.
"I get all that – I don't have a problem with that.
"The simple fact is that we need to win games in this division and we need to play a certain way at certain times to do that and I am not embarrassed to admit that.
"On Saturday at Huddersfield we were asked a question of being resilient and going to the end and we did that and won.
"Then we played a little bit of a different shape at the beginning at Doncaster and really caused them big problems and won there as well.
"The start was so good and that was what won us the game.
"For the next 35 minutes I was very disappointed how we didn't get a hold of the game so I had to change it a little bit to make sure we had more control.
"Ten minutes into the second half I felt we needed to go back to a more conventional 4-4-2 and then that didn't work either because we were a bit too deep.
"What pleases me is that I have options on the bench to change things and that wasn't there for me last season.
"We are approaching games in the right manner and have the right personnel to hurt teams away from home now.
"I want to finish with a few wins at home as well and make the crowd understand we can win at the Reebok as well as on the road."
