I have a hard time believing they could be worse than our starters, but they manage somehow.

Why doesn't Pollard play?? He's in such better shape than Foster right now. Foster still needs a lot of work to get back to his best, which probably isn't good enough.
Our team should be doing what we do best and that is move the ball and cut to the hoop like Devin harris is doing to us!!!
Our players had the weekend off, you would think that would effect there shooting not their defense.
what happened to our good ball movement? we look hurried and out of synch on offense and lost on defense tonight

Golden Alga Fish Kill on Lake Granbury Spreads Downriver
ATHENS — A toxic golden alga bloom on Lake Granbury that began the first week of January 2011 appears to be heading down the Brazos River toward Lake Whitney.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Kills and Spills team and personnel with the Brazos River Authority have been conducting weekly fish kill investigations since early January. Water samples are taken monthly to assess golden alga toxicity and cell densities at various sites on Lake Granbury.
The toxic zone began on the upper end of the lake at Hunter Park and slowly spread down-lake over the course of the past two months. Currently, the active kill zone is concentrated at the dam, but dying fish were observed as far north as Rough Creek Park this week. As of the week of February 28, the estimated total number of dead fish due to this kill was 82,418. The vast majority, about 82 percent, of the affected fish are non-game species. Affected fish species include freshwater drum, channel catfish, flathead catfish, white crappie, white bass, largemouth bass, striped bass, various sunfish species, gar, gizzard shad, threadfin shad, and others.
On March 5 Somervell County Game Warden Joni Kuykendall was notified of a fish kill on the Brazos River below Lake Granbury. An investigation into that fish kill has begun. It is suspected that the toxic golden alga bloom is now in the Brazos River, affecting some 50 miles of river between Lake Granbury and Lake Whitney. Results are pending on a water sample taken to check for the presence and toxicity of golden alga in the river. An official estimate of dead fish in the river has not yet been completed; however, biologists believe the number of fish killed in the Brazos River over the past week may very well surpass the estimated number of fish killed in Lake Granbury over the past two months.
Lake Granbury is located on the Brazos River in the town of the same name southwest of Fort Worth. Fish kills due to golden alga were reported on the lake in 2004 and 2005.
First discovered in Texas in 1985, golden alga (Prymnesium parvum) was identified in a fish kill in the Pecos River and has since been responsible for fish kills in the Colorado, Canadian, Wichita, Brazos, Rio Grande, San Jacinto and Red river systems, affecting more than two dozen reservoirs and one coastal bay and killing at least 18 million fish. Golden alga has also impacted fish production at two TPWD fish hatcheries in the past.
Information about golden alga and the latest information on currently occurring blooms and fish kills may be found at http://tpwd.texas.gov/landwater/water/environconcerns/hab/ga/.

The Arnold Palmer is my favorite non-alcoholic drink. Traditionally a combination of equal parts lemonade and iced tea, it's got the best of both worlds: the caffeine and earthy flavor of tea and the citrusy brightness of lemonade.
YanikiQ Cafe in Japantown gives the Arnold Palmer a cultural twist by replacing lemonade with yuzu juice. It has the tartness of a lemon with sweeter, fragrant overtones of orange and grapefruit. The resulting Yuzu Palmer ($4.25) is sweet, tart, and a nice little pick-me-up.
This drink gets points for presentation: the iced tea and yuzu juice stay separate until you stir the drink, creating a pretty color block effect. The yuzu juice has a bit of pulp, which home-style OJ lovers will appreciate. It's quite a tall drink, perfect for sipping or sharing while you make your way through a plate of YanikiQ's selection of macarons.

Review turns Joyce's triple into homer in Detroit
DETROIT -- Former Tiger Matt Joyce was awarded a home run against his former team in the first inning Sunday night after a brief review.
Joyce, the Rays' left fielder, cranked one off the right-field wall, and it was initially ruled in play. Joyce stretched it for an RBI triple, but a crew chief review, initiated by Greg Gibson, granted him a two-run homer.
The line-drive blast pushed Tampa Bay's early lead to 3-0.
Rick Porcello had a 25-inning scoreless streak entering the first inning following two shutouts in his last two starts.

This week Niamh McCarron describes what it is like when 'MS Fatigue' sneaks up and a different day might be lined up for her! I had great plans for today! Today could have been the day I changed the world. I was going to conquer my to-do list and have a good hair day. My MS had a different plan, however, and in the battle of good (me) versus evil (MS), MS won. I was hit by a wave of fatigue that meant instead of hopping out of bed to face my Saturday, I dragged myself through the motions of breakfast, showering and back to bed again. Fatigue is a common symptom of MS. Some of my friends with MS live with fatigue a lot, almost all the time. Others won't have it at all for ages, and then get hit with it out of the blue. In my experience, it gradually builds up without me noticing. For me, it will often come on after a period of being very busy at work or not taking care of myself properly - those weeks when I rush around having spaghetti hoops for dinner while the vegetables in my fridge start to lose the will to live. I can get away with it for so long, before fatigue will remind me that I need to stop. Slow down. Take a breath. Fatigue is a hard symptom to describe to people. I mean, I can say that it is tiredness, but everyone gets tired. My friends with small kids, or who work long shifts at work, know all about being tired. Most days I feel tired myself. Fatigue is different. When it sneaks up on me, it's like walking in wet sand, while wearing really soggy clothes that drag you down. My arms and legs get slow and stubborn, and moving quickly isn't an option. My brain slows down, and concentration escapes me. The tiredness goes into my bones- every part of me needs to rest and to sleep. Fatigue robs me of my time. When I have made plans to do things, and I can't physically get them done, it's frustrating and upsetting. It robs me of my concentration; tasks that should come easily to me are foggy and harder to process. I push through as hard as I can while at work, to suffer the aftereffects when I get home that evening. Going to bed for a quick nap at 6pm can lead to sleeping through until the next morning. It robs me off my family; it's not fun for my husband to have Sleeping Beauty snoring upstairs while he takes over all the household chores. Fatigue has also taught me to (try to) be patient and kind to myself. Fighting it too hard just makes it worse. It is better to give in sooner rather than later! So today, I had planned to go to Town. To have a nosey around the sales and see what was happening in the world. Instead I woke up tired, after a long night's sleep and felt my entire body shout at me to stop. Slow down. Take a breath. Plans were quickly abandoned, and I spent the entire day in bed, sleeping and reading a bit and giving myself permission to just "be" rather than "do". Tomorrow, I plan to get up, face the day and go for a stroll. MS might have a different day lined up for me. And that will be ok too!
Today, 13th September we celebrate one of our all-time favourite children's authors and friend of the MS Readathon, the legendary man that is Roald Dahl. As we step into this magnificent world of childlike imagination and wonder we can't help but notice that his books are still as fantastic today as they were when we were your age! Roald Dahl is a man that needs little introduction and if we were to tell you all of the reasons why we have chosen to celebrate his works over other authors we would be here a very long time! We are so looking forward to this week when we get to lose ourselves in this fantastical world where anything is possible. Isn't that the point of reading? When you pick up any of Dahl's books you know you're about to be transported to a topsy-turvy world where the witty language is as inventive as the characters using it. One of our most treasured Dahl-isms is actually from the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory but originates in the timeless book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Willy Wonka is talking about some of the things the children can taste in his lickable wallpaper room. He then says matter-of-factly, "The snozzberries taste like snozzberries." Veruca Salt responds, "Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?" Wonka puts an end to this by simply stating, "We are the music-makers, and we are the makers of dreams." It doesn't matter one bit that we don't know what a snozzberry is, now does it? The point is that you should never stop using your imagination. It can be whatever you want it to be! Dahl has created so many stories within so many books and each is as varied as the last. One of the things that makes a Roald Dahl story different from any other is his unique ability to take the fantastical and make it seem completely normal. The BFG being the perfect example – shortly into the book there is no doubt left and you begin to believe that there are Big Friendly Giants out there delivering good dreams to children! But of course, Dahl was also a poet and what a scrumptious collection of poems he left behind! If you haven't read Revolting Rhymes we insist that you go to your local library and find it today! Each poem is based on a traditional fairytale but naturally Dahl wanted to put even more magic into the tales so he created his own endings to wow all of his little readers. Children's literature owes a lot to Roald Dahl and we are so thankful he shared his wonderful imagination with us. Now go pick up one of his books, open your imagination and enter the lickswishy world of Roald Dahl. Open a wonderful world of adventure and imagination through reading for a great cause and sign up to the MS Readathon
Have your say Minister for Health, Simon Harris, TD, and Minister of State for Mental Health and Older People Jim Daly, TD, have announced the opening of a public consultation on home care services. The consultation is being carried out in order to help inform the development of a new statutory scheme and system of regulation for home care services. MS Ireland will be making a submission as part of this consultation and we would very much like to speak to any people with MS and families/carers who have experience of trying to access home care services. If you would be prepared to share your experiences and contribute to the consultation, please contact Harriet in confidence on (01) 678 1612 or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com by 5pm Wednesday, 27th September. People with MS and families/carers can also make individual submissions to the consultation – to find out how visit health.gov.ie/blog/noticeboard/consultation-on-home-care-services/
What is important to people with MS regarding treatment options MS Ireland is conducting a short, anonymous survey about disease modifying therapies (DMTs). This survey is open to anyone with a diagnosis of MS or Clinically Isolated Syndrome. You do not need to have experience of taking a DMT to participate. This survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Read more information about the DMTs that are currently available in Ireland. The purpose of the survey is to help us to understand what is important to people with MS regarding their treatment options. Our recent My MS My Needs survey found that almost 20% of people with MS felt they had not received enough information from healthcare professionals about available drugs. The results of this survey will help guide us as to what information materials people would like access to, to help them make decisions about treatments and help them manage their medications. Data and information from the survey may also be used in future Patient Group Submissions to the National Centre for Pharmaco-economics (NCPE), to help with the process of trying to make new medications for MS available in Ireland. The deadline for completing the survey is 5pm Monday, 2nd October. Get in touch If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Harriet Doig – firstname.lastname@example.com or on 01 678 1612.
30 years of the MS Readathon celebrated with Felicity Dahl Proudly supported by Heinz, over 10,000 Irish kids are set to embark on a one-month reading marathon this October in aid of MS Ireland The 30th MS Readathon launched on Monday September 11th with Felicity Dahl marking the milestone for the sponsored reading initiative, along with official proud sponsors, Heinz. Felicity's late husband, Roald Dahl launched the first ever MS Readathon in 1988, beginning three decades of adventures in reading. More than 10,000 young readers in schools around the country took part last year, reading 87,000 books in total and raising funds for people with Multiple Sclerosis in their community. Joining Felicity Dahl at the launch of the 30th MS Readathon was ambassador, Michelle Hanley, 27, from Cork who is living with MS, and her two children, Abbey and Alex. Multiple Sclerosis Ireland is inviting schools and home readers to sign up for the 30th MS Readathon. The reading month will take place from October 13th to November 13th 2017. Please visit www.msreadathon.ie to find out more. Felicity Dahl, speaking at the launch of the 30th MS Readathon: "Roald once said, 'if you can learn to treat books as your friends when you are young, you will always be able to cope with the tougher [more serious] ones in later life.' Over the past 30 years, MS Readathon has encouraged children all across Ireland to make friends with books and the reading habit whilst raising funds for a highly worthwhile cause. Roald helped to launch the very first MS Readathon in Ireland and I am delighted to be following in his rather giant footsteps to help launch this year's MS Readathon." Some of Ireland's leading authors and illustrators have also provided great support to the MS Readathon, including Sarah Webb, Cecelia Ahern, Nicola Pierce, Judi Curtin, Alan Early, Anna Carey, Roisin Meaney, Jon Berkeley, Oisin McGann, PJ Lynch, Matt Griffin, Sheila O'Flanagan, Claudia Carroll, Marisa Mackle, and Pauline McLynn. Cecelia Ahern, author, praised the initiative: "MS Readathon has been so influential in encouraging children to read over the past thirty years. Reading is so important because it broadens our imaginations, and imagination is so important because it give us the opportunity to envision new possibilities, charges our creativity, and enhances our life. It helps us to ask two very important words...what if? If we're always asking then we're always thinking in new ways." The 30th MS Readathon encourages children to open a wonderful world of adventure and imagination through reading for a great cause. Ava Battles, Chief Executive of MS Ireland commented: "We are very grateful to the young readers, teachers and families who have helped us to reach our 30th year, a significant milestone for MS Ireland's key annual fundraising campaign to support vital services for people with Multiple Sclerosis. We are delighted to welcome our new sponsor, Heinz." Emily O'Kane, Marketing Manager Kraft Heinz added: "The MS Readathon has been central to the school calendar for Irish families for years, and we're delighted to be a part of this celebration. Our own classic products fuel great-tasting mealtimes for the whole family, encouraging children to expand their imagination in new ways. The convenience of our food allows parents the time to join their kids on all kinds of adventures, culinary and literary! The movement of young readers around the country joining this fantastic cause is something to be really proud of. Here's to the next 30 years!" More than 9,000 people are living with MS in Ireland, with thousands more family members affected. Multiple Sclerosis, meaning 'many scars', is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Ireland. MS affects the motor, sensory and cognitive functioning of the body and is usually diagnosed between 20 and 40 years of age. There is currently no known cause or cure for the condition. MS symptoms include impaired mobility and vision, severe fatigue and cognitive difficulties. Three times more women than men are diagnosed with MS. Funds raised by young readers around the country directly support vital services, for example the MS Ireland Information Line, enabling one-to-one support for those newly diagnosed, physiotherapy and exercise classes to help people with MS remain independent, and respite care. To increase awareness about Multiple Sclerosis for young readers, MS Ireland introduced MS schools ambassadors. People living with MS visit their local schools and talk about the complexity of the condition and the nature of relapses, or attacks when MS symptoms flare up.

Chris Bowe and Lawrence come from War Creek Mafia, Adrian Pace is from Freakflag, and Johnny Compton came from all sorts of bands. The Black Cross Brotherhood's members figure somebody ought to be loudest, hardest-rocking band in Charleston. So . . . why not them?The band makes its official Charleston debut Friday night at The Blue Parrot, performing with Harrah and Freaktent.It's an important show to The Black Cross Brotherhood. It's members feel like they've got something to prove."We're tired of getting passed over, man," Compton said. "We're tired of being in really good outfits and overlooked." This band, they hope, will change all that. They look at themselves as the best parts of some of the best metal acts in the area."We're not a cookie-cutter band," Bowe said. "We're not trying to be Nickelback," Compton added.Compton and Bowe, The Black Cross Brotherhood's guitarists, said they had wanted to play together in a musical outfit for a while but really hadn't had much of a chance to do anything since Black Sky Rite, a few years back.Bowe and Lawrence have been part of War Creek Mafia for years, while Compton, one of the Charleston scene's most prolific players, plays in several musical outfits in town and hosts an open mic."We'd always talked about bringing Johnny in to War Creek, but I guess it was just a perfect storm," Bowe said. "We've gone through several bassists over the past couple of years. The last one had to move on. It wasn't like there was a big fight, but there was a life situation. He got a job and had to move on." "We talked about getting another bassist and maybe just keeping on with War Creek Mafia," Lawrence said, "but we really had to decide what it was we really wanted to do."What it turned out they wanted to do was work with Compton and come out with something completely different."So what we have is a very guitar-driven rock band," Compton said. "You've got Chris and me playing hard as hell and throwing things at each other all night long."The band promised old-school metal that's somewhere between Metallica and Pantera with some overtones of Black Sabbath and Alice In Chains."Loud, heavy, but with good melodies," Compton said."It's music to get a speeding ticket to," Bowe said.The band came together after Pace was brought in on bass.Pace said he'd been away from playing music for a couple of years and had instead been focusing on family and his job, but he had been itching to get back in."I told my old lady that I felt like starting something up," he said.It was just sort of luck that Compton, Bowe and Lawrence happened to be looking for a bass player."We were working with another guy before, but I don't think he felt really comfortable," Bowe said. "It just wasn't for him."Pace didn't have much to say, just shrugged and said he is glad to be part of the Black Cross Brotherhood."I think we can be the best band in town," he said, "but we'll leave that up for people to decide."Reach Bill Lynch at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5195.

Welcome to the world of Microsoft Windows 8! It's a robust, powerful operating system that gives you an efficient way to manage all the apps, programs, files, and folders you use regularly. In this course, you'll learn the basics so you can make the most of this operating system for both work and fun.
You'll start by exploring how to move around within Windows 8 with the new Start screen, Charms bar, and desktop. You'll find out how to manage apps and programs on the Start screen and how to customize the Start screen and desktop areas.
Finding files and folders on your Windows 8 system is easy, and you'll learn how, whether you're looking for files stored on your hard drive or on an external drive. You'll also see how to create basic text documents using WordPad and discover how to organize, manage, and edit photos in Windows 8. Finally, you'll gain an understanding of how to protect your files, update Windows 8, and access the Internet with Windows 8's new Internet Explorer browser.
By the time you finish this course, you'll be ready to have more fun with Windows 8 and be more productive in your work.
Course Revised January 2014
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
Learning to use your PC well starts with learning to use Windows. In this first lesson, we'll start with the basics that every computer user must know in order to use a computer with minimal frustration. If you've been working in "frustration and aggravation" mode for a while, this lesson will take care of that. We'll start by talking about what Windows 8 is and why you want to learn it. Then, we'll get right into the most important skills and terminology that allow you to control what you see on your screen at all times. And that's important, because the first step to using anything that's in your computer is getting it on the screen where you can see it!
No matter how you intend to use your computer, there'll be times when there's some typing involved. It might be for writing email messages, memos, or letters, or it might be for taking notes in a course, or for chatting with others in a website. Whatever the reason, today's lesson will teach you all the tricks for making typing (and editing) quick and easy. And you'll also discover how to save your work in files and folders, so it'll always be there when you need it!
Everything that's in your computer is stored on its hard drive. The hard drive is like a filing cabinet containing files organized into folders. Finding things you've saved in the past is a matter of opening the filing cabinet, so to speak, and then locating the correct folder. You'll use the File Explorer program to accomplish this. And in this lesson, you'll learn how it all works so you can start gaining complete mastery of your own files and folders.
Today it's time to have some fun with photographs. In today's lesson, you'll learn to use Photo Gallery to get pictures from a camera into your computer. You'll learn some tips for organizing those photos. And you'll also learn how to rotate pictures that are sideways, delete any awful pictures you'd rather nobody ever see, and print all your favorite photos on paper.
The Internet is home to popular websites like Facebook, Twitter, Google, ed2go, and many others. I'm sure many of you have seen reference to .com sites in ads and elsewhere. If you don't have a lot of computer experience, you might find it difficult to get to the many things you hear about on the Web. But not after this lesson! Today, I'll teach you how to use Internet Explorer, the program that provides access to all of those popular websites.
Managing files and folders is one of those computer skills that every computer user needs to know. In many work and school environments, people just assume you know how to manage files, and they rarely provide any details on how to accomplish things like copying, moving, or renaming files and folders. Today's lesson will explain how to do those very things that others assume you already know how to do.
In this lesson, you'll expand your file management skills by learning how to delete and recover files. You'll learn how to select multiple files to work with so you don't always have to manage your files one at a time. And we'll discuss how to copy files to and from removable media like flash drives, CDs, and DVDs.
Your computer is an investment of money, and the pictures and other files you store on your computer are an investment of time. You might even have some photos or other files that are so precious the thought of losing them causes you anxiety. What you need to do is protect those files. And that's just what this chapter is all about—how to use the tools and techniques that are built right into Windows to help you protect your valuable time and files!
In our final lesson, you'll learn some more techniques for protecting your computer, including using resources for free protection from viruses and spyware. You'll learn how to remove programs you no longer want or need. You'll learn how to copy and paste text and create screenshots. And you'll discover some great timesaving tips and shortcuts, as well as resources for helping yourself so you don't have to be so dependent on others.

Re: Adjuvant chemo- or radiotherapy?
Hi Percy,
Thanks for your very informative posting. I wonder if it makes a difference that with Richard's wife we are talking about adjuvant therapy with negative margins. I noticed the Bilcap protocol says that Cap seems not to be as effective with advanced CCA. Is there some evidence you have seen that Gem also works better in adjuvant therapy? The reasons for the Bilcap trial using Xeloda seem to be based on it's positive results with colon/pancreatic cancers.
I'm wondering what a study of Cap v Gem would yield. Also interested in why you think Gem and Cap together might be more effective? Did you find something which shows radiation successful after a resection with good margins? I seem to find studies which say radiation is usually used with positive margins?
Thanks again.

TPWD Awarded More Than $3.5 million in Solar Grants
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has been awarded more than $3.5 million in competitive federal stimulus grants for solar installations as part of the Distributed Renewable Energy Technology Program. The program is offered by the State of Texas Comptroller as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and will cover up to 20% of the total cost of the projects.
All 17 projects proposed were funded and the grants will go toward installing solar power at the main headquarters in Austin and in various state parks and fisheries across Texas.
TPWD is installing solar photovoltaic (PV) generation systems that will provide more than 100kW across seven state park sites in Region 1. These sites include Lake Tawakoni State Park, Ray Roberts Lake State Park, Cooper Lake State Park, East Texas Fish Hatchery, Cedar Hill State Park, Lake Arrowhead State Park and San Angelo State Park.
In Region 2, TPWD is installing solar PV generation systems that will provide at least 90kW in Government Canyon State Park, Bryan Fish Hatchery, McKinney Falls State Park, Sheldon Observatory Tower, State Park Region 4 Headquarters and Galveston Isle.
Three sites in Region 3 will install an estimated 40kW of solar PV generation systems: State Park Region 1 Headquarters, Choke Canyon State Park and Mustang Isle. The Austin headquarters will install a 50 kW solar PV system at the main agency building.
TPWD supports conservation actions that mitigate anticipated climate change impacts to plants, fish and wildlife and encourages the development of renewable energy projects which do not adversely affect those communities. These projects will help TPWD reach one of its goals set forth in the most recent Land & Water Plan to install solar panels at 15 agency sites by December 2011. (see page 35 of the L&W Plan.)

STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern Director of Athletics Tom Kleinlein today announced the hiring of Willie Fritz as the ninth head football coach in the program's modern history. A proven winner with more than 30 years of coaching experience, Fritz led Sam Houston State to back-to-back Southland Conference titles, NCAA FCS championship appearances in 2011 and 2012 and a third-straight playoff berth this past year. In 21 years as a head coach, Fritz owns a 72.3 winning percentage with a record of 176-67-1 and more than a few trophies for his accomplishments at the national, regional and conference levels.
The Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year at the FCS level in 2012, Fritz was recognized nationally in 2011 as the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Coach of the Year. Honored as the AFCA Regional Coach of the Year in 2011 and 2012, Fritz was selected by the media and his peers in the Southland Conference as the league's Coach of the Year in 2011 after his team went a perfect 7-0 in conference play.
In 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston State posted the two highest single-season win totals in program history with marks of 14-1 (2011) and 11-4 (2012) and Bearkat players were showered with accolades. More than 50 earned All-Southland Conference honors under Fritz in the last four years, not including additional "Player of the Year," "Offensive Player of the Year," "Defensive Player of the Year," and "Newcomer of the Year" awards. All-America status from national coaching and media outlets were bestowed on 11 Sam Houston State players during his tenure.
Fritz comes to Georgia Southern after four years as the head coach of the Bearkats and his most recent of three total tours in Huntsville. His resume includes a wealth of experience across the board, notably as a coach with an innate ability to connect with his players, demand accountability and build winning programs.
After a highly successful tenure at Blinn College, averaging nearly 10 wins a season during his four years there, Fritz left to revitalize a Central Missouri program and guided it to 11 winning seasons. The NCAA Division II program's ledger included two 10-win seasons with the 2001 Mule squad earning its first postseason trip in more than 30 years. In 2002, Central Missouri made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs and was the Mid-America Athletic Association (MIAA) co-champion a year later. A 97-47 mark in 13 seasons ranks Fritz as the winningest coach in the program's 118-year history. He was the only coach to ever win seven or more games in eight consecutive seasons and his victory total ranked him 15th among active Division II coaches at the time.
In addition to his impressive 67.4 winning percentage with the Mules, Fritz coached his student-athletes to achieve their potential both on the field and in the classroom. More than 150 Mules were recognized with All-MIAA honors with 41 first-team selections and 24 All-Americans. Under Fritz, Central Missouri recorded a graduation rate of 84 percent with 144 MIAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll recipients, 14 Academic All-Region and three Academic All-Americans.
Serving as a graduate assistant for the Bearkat program during the 1984 and 1985 seasons, Fritz earned a master's degree in kinesiology while Sam Houston State posted a 16-6 record and won the 1985 Gulf Star Conference championship. He returned to Huntsville in 1991 after spending two years at Coffeyville College in Kansas under legendary Coach Dick Foster, earning a promotion to defensive coordinator after one year. He stayed another two years to work for Coach Skip Foster and the Red Ravens.
"I knew immediately when I interviewed him that I wanted to hire Willie," said Coach Dick Foster, a charter member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Football Hall of Fame. "He's a talented person and I've followed his career closely, from Central Missouri and to Blinn where he coached two national championships, to what he has done at Sam Houston State. He has all the qualities needed for the challenge in front of him – he's an excellent technician, an outstanding recruiter, very organized with his coaching and support staff and his student-athletes enjoy playing for him."
Coach Bob Randleman brought Fritz back to the state of Texas and Sam Houston State as secondary and special teams coach in 1991, instilling an attitude of excellence on special teams that would last more than a decade. The Bearkats' "block party" racked up 80 blocked punts, field goals and extra points beginning with Fritz in 1991 and lasting through 2004. In Fritz's first year as a full-time assistant coach at Sam Houston State in 1991, the Bearkats won the Southland Conference. That league title and eight-win season launched SHSU to the program's second-ever appearance in the NCAA playoffs.
"Willie was like a coach on the field for me as a four-year starter at Pittsburg State," Coach Randleman said. "I just think the world of him and am proud that he was on my coaching staff not once, but twice. He has a tremendous work ethic, he played hard, and he coaches the same way. Willie has a great rapport with his players and they respect him."
Fritz would leave Huntsville again, this time for an opportunity to be the head coach at Blinn College, where he would turn around a program that had only five wins in its previous three seasons. From 1993-96, Fritz and the Buccaneers would rack up 39 victories against only five losses with a tie and claim two national junior college championships. He was inducted into the NJCAA Football Hall of Fame for the environment of success he created at Blinn.
One of seven children, Fritz is the son of the late Harry Fritz, who coached the Central Missouri football team in 1952 before continuing his career as the Executive Director at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in Kansas City. The elder Fritz also served at several colleges and universities in administration as an athletics director.
Fritz played on two conference title teams and was a four-starter at defensive back for Coach Randleman at Pittsburg State and remained at his alma mater as a student assistant coach for his alma mater in 1982. Early coaching stops included a year at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School (Kansas) in 1983 and Willis High School (Texas) in 1986, with his return to Sam Houston State for graduate school in between those years.
Fritz and his wife Susan have three children, Wesley and Elaine, who are enrolled at Sam Houston State, and Brooke, a junior in high school in Huntsville.

Housing Will Likely Keep Outperforming
Just as my expectations for coal were not great on a re-election, the exact opposite is true for housing. I expect housing to maintain its outperformance under the Obama administration; however, I expect it to do it in spurts. During times of news flow, like earnings, the potential for a sell-the-news reaction certainly exits. Home Depot (HD) and its 47.5% year-to-date gain appear to be setup for just that potential. There is plenty of put buying in HD today, although I suspect a good chunk of that is coming from longs who are simply looking to hedge their current holdings.

A Baton Rouge police officer fired in 2009 amid accusations he raped a 16-year-old girl is asking the Civil Service Board to give him his badge back.
The Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board voted Thursday to delay indefinitely an appeal filed by former Cpl. Jeffrey Scott Webb. Before his own firing this week, former Police Chief Dewayne White had asked for a continuance in Webb's case due to a change in attorneys representing the chief's office.
White filed an appeal Thursday seeking an expedited hearing for his own termination. The Civil Service Board's chairman, Sgt. Bryan Taylor, has said it's not clear whether the board will hear White's appeal before Webb's.
Webb, 40, was fired for conduct unbecoming an officer about two months after he was arrested in Livingston Parish. Webb, who was 36 at the time of his arrest, had been accused of having sex with a teen while she was heavily intoxicated.
The victim's mother reported to authorities she believed her daughter had been raped by a Baton Rouge police officer, authorities have said. Sheriff's deputies investigated and charged Webb with one count of simple rape.
"The juvenile told internal affairs investigators that she had consumed several alcoholic drinks earlier, including both beer and vodka, and that she was 'very drunk' at the time," former Police Chief Jeff LeDuff wrote in Webb's termination letter.
Prosecutors charged Webb with indecent behavior with a juvenile in June 2009, according to court officials. He pleaded no contest in August 2010 to a reduced charge of misdemeanor carnal knowledge, court records show.
Webb was sentenced to two years probation and ordered to pay a $500 fine plus court costs. Assistant District Attorney Matthew Belser, of the 21st Judicial District Attorney's Office, said late Thursday he could not recall the reason the charge was reduced without referring to his notes.
Webb claims in his appeal to the Civil Service Board that his termination was not made in good faith. He is seeking back pay with interest.
"It's my understanding that he went through the whole process, served his probation and was released from that and is coming to us to try to get his job back," Taylor said.
Charlie Dirks, Webb's attorney, declined comment Thursday. Webb could not be reached for comment.
A 13-year-veteran of the Police Department, Webb had been suspended on two prior occasions before his dismissal. The first suspension came after Webb was accused of giving false testimony during a pre-trial hearing.
Webb had arrested the boyfriend of his former girlfriend on a simple robbery charge and was called to testify in the case in August 2000, authorities have said. Webb claimed he found a crack pipe in the accused's motel room, though he had not noted that in his arrest report.
A prosecutor doubted the testimony, authorities have said, and Webb later admitted to giving false testimony. He was suspended 15 days and appealed to the Civil Service Board, but he dropped the appeal before it was heard.
Webb was also suspended 10 days after the department received a complaint that he had made an obscene gesture at a female motorist and mouthed an obscenity while driving on Airline Highway, authorities have said. He denied the accusations, and the Civil Service Board later overturned his suspension.

API article deemed 'biased reporting'
As I understand it, the Town Crier's editorial goal is to help the community resolve differences between the Los Altos School District and Bullis Charter School.
If the Town Crier truly wants to help bring the schools community together, then your staff writer should be oriented to that objective. Biased reporting is not helping in pursuit of that goal.
Upon first reading of Traci Newell's reporting the 2013 Academic Performance Index results ("Schools keep top rankings despite dip in test scores," Sept. 4), in paragraph 2, it looks like the district is No. 4 and the charter school No. 14.
Instead, in Newell's coverage, one would believe that the district placed fourth in the state, and Bullis Charter School ranked as the 14th-highest-scoring elementary school on the 2013 API. Huh?
Why not try to accurately reflect up-front top-performing Bullis Charter School?
Only after reading the entire article did the truth and accuracy finally emerge from paragraph 11: "Bullis Charter School was the top-scoring school in Los Altos, fifth in Santa Clara County and 14th in the state with a score of 989, a five-point decline from last year. In addition to earning the highest-ranking API score in Los Altos, the school is the top-performing charter school in the state."
If the Town Crier's goal is to be realized, it's time to stop the biased reporting and give credit where credit is due. It wouldn't hurt to start by recognizing that Bullis Charter School is a jewel in the community.

Los Altos Hills
Editor's note: The article on API scores chronicled local schools' scores and how they ranked on the state level. Our reporter mentioned the Los Altos School District's and Bullis Charter School's rankings in the same paragraph as a broader statement about schools in the community – with further details later in the story.
Reporting choices are never simple when it comes to covering the local schools debate – and almost guaranteed to draw criticism from one or both sides.
Want a bond measure? Stop the lawsuits
I am puzzled by the Bullis Charter School leadership. Do they really believe that Los Altos School District residents will pass a bond measure that benefits them when they have five outstanding lawsuits against those very same residents?
Realistically, I just can't see that happening. Last year, a survey showed only lukewarm support for a bond measure, and when respondents were told that the bond measure might benefit Bullis, support dropped even further.
So, what to do? For starters, ending the lawsuits immediately might help. Voters in June 2014 (I believe that's the earliest a bond measure could be placed on the ballot) would have had only nine months in which to forget the lawsuits – and nine months might not be enough time.
Ending the lawsuits would free up however much the charter school pays its attorneys annually ($1 million? $2 million? More?). Bullis Charter School could then offer this for a site in the spirit of cooperation and sharing. (Note that other charter schools in California have bought and constructed their own facilities entirely out of their own pocket, completely eliminating any district involvement.)
Absent dropping the lawsuits and absent a substantial contribution toward a new school for Bullis, I don't see any chance that a bond measure would pass.

Mountain View growing too much
The Mountain View City Council has thrown a bomb on local residents. The bomb has exploded with shrapnel in the form of:
• Encouraging and making way for developers to build high-rise apartments and businesses with no forethought on its real future impact to our city.
• Forcing small businesses out of business.
• Approving substantially reduced required parking for the new structures.
• Failing to provide adequate parking in the downtown area.
• Creating congestion through the narrowing of El Camino Real and Castro Street to force Mountain View residents to ride bicycles.
• "Manhattanizing" Mountain View by creating canyons of buildings throughout the city.
And the list goes on.
Sadly, all of these problems apply not only to Mountain View, but also to the entire Peninsula.
Please answer these questions:
• How will people grocery shop on bicycles or get to doctors appointments without cars? How will people with disabilities get around? We have no viable public transportation. Valley Transportation Authority is not the answer. We would need a reliable, extensive and inexpensive mode of public transportation in place before and if this development is forced through.
• Why are city governments allowing the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) to continue this insane onslaught of development? Why aren't they fighting ABAG's so-called requirements? Why is there a push to make Mountain View and the Bay Area like Manhattan?
What we can learn from looking at these huge cities is that fast-track building with no forethought to real future impact does not work.
Psychological studies have proven over and over that when more people are stuffed into a limited space, the results are more violent crimes, a decline in overall health and an increase in the already great divide between rich and poor.
Why do you want to create this in Mountain View and on the Peninsula? This is neither green nor sustainable.

Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream Reviews
Nice but a little heavyThis cream is certainly moisturizing, but I think it is a little heavy. It tends to leave the hands wet and tacky for a longer period of time than I look for in a hand cream. — 5 years, 4 months agoTheLacqueredLady | 751 reviews
Better than your average hand creamThis product is not as moisturizing as a few other products I've tried and could contain more beneficial ingredients, but is also not overly greasy or waxy. I really love the fact that it is fragrance free (most hand creams are too perfumy and not in a good way) and soothes irritated sensitive skin at a reasonable price. Definately a better than average hand cream — 8 years, 5 months agoThorne | 456 reviews

Better Than L'occitane!I once only used L'occitane hand cream but with Aveeno, I can have a hand cream that really works and is affordable. Rough, dry hands and elbows, and even heels, become soft and moist. Woo hoo! — 8 years, 1 month agoleo1999 | 678 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
pretty nice :)This stuff works pretty well for Colorado winters. It goes on super easy, and it totally doesn't feel like you just put lotion on because it kind of disappears into your hands. It keeps my hands from feeling dry for most of the day, and the miraculous claim that it lasts through handwashing is partly true...my hands don't get all slimy as soon as they get wet like what happens with any other lotio...read moren, which is pretty mind-boggling. And after washing, my hands don't necessarily feel dry, but they don't feel completely moisturized either...but I have no problem putting this stuff on again. It works better than any other hand lotion I've tried. — 7 years, 10 months agoNotQuiteGlam | 190 reviews
The best!This stuff works so well it's amazing. I work in a lab where my hands are constantly wet (I can't wear gloves), and this doesn't rub off or feel greasy - as it says on the label, it stays on through hand washings. It works instantly.

ABSOLUTELY THE BESTThis hand cream is WAY better than L'Occitane, as leo1999 said. It is PERFECT for my hands in the winter because they get SO SO dry and flaky and gross. This is not greasy at all, and really sinks into your skin and transforms it. It does actually last all day, which is a claim with little meaning in beauty products these days. I can never be without this hand cream. It's cheap and effective, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone. — 5 years, 7 months agoslvandas | 21 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
OK, let's talk about the giant gorilla in the room. The legendary British prog-rock band Yes will perform three of its early albums in their entirety Sunday night at the Golden State Theatre in downtown Monterey.
As of press time there were a couple hundred tickets left for sale, which surprised me at first. Yes, original singer Jon Anderson is not with this version of the band, nor is keyboardist Rick Wakeman or original keyboardist Tony Kaye. But that's the way it goes with bands with Yes' history and longevity. The band has been around since 1968 and has had 18 different members.
And true, ticket prices are $70 and $85, which are not exorbitantly high, until you add the so-called Ticketmaster "service" charge, which puts the $85 tickets over $100. Word is that you can avoid these high charges by buying directly from the theater box office.
But still, this is Yes...playing in downtown Monterey, for the first time and most likely the last time in this area. The band will be playing the albums "The Yes Album" (1971) "Close to the Edge" (1972) and "Going for the One" (1977) from beginning to end.
New keyboardist Downes, who left the band in 1981, joins longtime Yes members Steve Howe (guitar), Chris Squire (bass), Alan White (drums) and new vocalist Jon Davison in the current lineup of the band.
For the full story, read my story on Downes and the band that appeared in last Sunday's Herald.
Three new recordings see the light of day this week, those by Casey Frazier, Levi Strom and Laurel Thomsen, all, oddly enough, on Friday night.
Frazier releases "Regal" at 8 p.m. in the Turf Club at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. See feature story in this week's GO!
Big Sur singer-songwriter Strom will celebrate the release of his latest "Surf Country" Friday night at 8:30 at Pierce Ranch Vineyards Tasting Room on Cannery Row.
And Monterey violinist Thomsen will join with Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Frechette for the first time as a duo Friday night at 9:30 at London Bridge Pub next to Wharf No. 2 in Monterey.
Strom is following up his well-received CD "The Lone Wolf," with "Surf Country," which features backup vocals from folk icon Kath Bloom and guitar from Neal Casal, who plays with Ryan Adams' band The Cardinals and in the Chris Robison Brotherhood band.
Strom will also be at Recycled Records in New Monterey from 1-2 p.m. Friday to perform acoustically and sign copies of the CD.
Thomsen is a well-known and talented Monterey Peninsula (now Santa Cruz) violin performer and teacher who plays everything from classical and bluegrass to rock and Celtic music.
Her latest album, a six-cut EP "Light & Shadow," features musicians such as Joe Craven on percussion, guitarist Scott Nygaard and mandolinist John Reischman. The album features a little folk, Celtic and blugrass with Thomsen's nimble and versatile violin front and center. Thomsen also adds fine lead vocals to the mix.
Thomsen is the creator of the Violin Geek Podcast and an author and educational video luminary for Strings magazine.
Frechette has recorded 13 solo albums and written more than 1,300 songs, many of them covered by other artists, including Canada's The Duhks, "You Don't See It," Australia's The Ploughboys, "Who Will Take My Place?" and Ireland's Dervish, "My Bride And I." Sing Out Magazine's Mike Regenstreif called him "one of the most talented singer-songwriters I've heard in a long time."
If you miss Frechette and Thomsen you can always catch them Saturday, March 16, at Plaza Linda in Carmel Valley.
For more info on these artists, check out their websites: www.levistrom.com,www.laurelthomsen.comandwww.ramblingdan.com.
The Bay Park Hotel just off Highway 1 on Munras Avenue is hoping to draw some local musicians (and their fans) into their Safari Room.
First up is local jazz/blues singer Lee Durley and singer Ray Paul, a duo they call Brotherly Love, from 7-9 p.m. Monday.
Durley said he hopes this becomes a regular thing on Monday nights. And local performer and concert promoter Kiki Wow is hoping to start a local showcase on Thursday nights, hoping to tie it in with programming at KRML radio station in Carmel Valley.
The room has a full bar, some bar appetizers available and a dance floor. Info is at 649-4771.
In addition to the big show with Yes, Golden State Theatre has three more shows this week, including the garage rocking all-girl band The Hot Toddies (with Kids on a Crime Spree and Burnt Palms opening) on Friday night.
Saturday it's an all-Italian night with "A Night in Old Napoli" featuring tenor Erasmo "Orazio" Aiello and Mike Marotta Sr. and friends.
Then on Wednesday night it's the odd and edgy The Angus Scrimm with rock cellist Rushad Eggelston. What a show that will be.GO!
Neo soul singer José James presents "No Beginning No End" Monday at 7 p.m. at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz. Tickets are $20 advance, $23 door, available at 427-5100 and online at: www.kuumbwajazz.org. Info at 427-2227.
Since his 2008 debut, the Minneapolis-born, New York-based singer James has carefully cultivated a blend of jazz, hip-hop, R&B and electronica, exposing himself as a musical omnivore who seeks inspiration from a variety of sources.
He has become an underground sensation in both the modern jazz and DJ culture scenes, thanks two his previous albums: 2008's "The Dreamer" and 2010's "BlackMagic." He was one of the breakout stars at last year's Monterey Jazz Festival.

Players win with grown-up ratings
New classification and a return of favourites heralds a bumper year.
THE past few years have brought huge growth in the casual gaming space, with smartphone and tablet owners joining the greater gaming collective. But hard-core gaming has gradually plateaued, as it does every time the current versions of home consoles near the end of their life cycles. The consoles typically reach a price point where every prospective buyer can afford one, and sales eventually drop off.
This current, seventh generation of consoles has enjoyed the longest period between major updates in technology, as the manufacturers introduce features and add-ons that extend the hardware's lifespan.
Fortunately, 2013 is shaping as a cracker for gamers, with a strong line-up of titles poised for release, a new adult classification for games, and high expectations of new home consoles launching later in the year.
A handful of successful video game franchises have fresh instalments scheduled for release in the coming months, including God of War, Crysis, Army of Two, Dead Space, Metal Gear and Resident Evil, with the highlights being the return of a new-look Lara Croft in the revival of the Tomb Raider series, plus the deadly Big Daddy returning in BioShock Infinite, and possibly one of this year's most eagerly awaited games, Grand Theft Auto V, from the gaming series that has sparked controversy in the past for its sexually explicit and violent gameplay.
The content of previous Grand Theft Auto games was so risque, a specially edited version was produced for the game to be released in Australia under the MA15+ rating, which at the time was the most restrictive of game classifications.
The next instalment in the series is unlikely to need the same editing because of the recent introduction of an R18+ classification for video games. This came into effect at the start of 2013, following lobbying by Australian video game industry bodies, adult gamers and action groups.
The legislation, which had to be passed by each state's attorney-general, brings video game ratings more in line with the classification system used for feature films, and also means Australia joins most other developed nations, which have had an R18+ classification for video games for many years.
Australia now has five classifications for video games: G, PG, M, MA15+ and R18+. And, as with films rated R18+, video games given this classification may be bought or rented only by consumers aged 18 and older.
Where the MA15+ was previously the highest rating for video games, and allowed content to have a strong impact, the R18+ classification now permits games to have high-impact content.
Ron Curry, from the Interactive Games & Entertainment Association, which has supported the push for the classification for more than a decade, says the change is a key step in harmonising Australia's classification scheme and gives consumers better tools to manage and understand content in a rapidly changing environment.
''The classification guidelines for video games are now more closely aligned with the guidelines for film and TV, which makes it easier for parents to make informed decisions about the interactive content they choose to buy and play,'' Curry says.
According to a national survey last year, which has been conducted twice yearly since 2005 by Bond University, the average age of gamers in Australia is 32, up from 30 in 2008. The survey found that 75 per cent of gamers in Australia are aged 18 or over.
Following the introduction of the new classification on January 1, it took just 11 days for Australia's first R18+ video game to be announced by the Classification Board. The game, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, is an action adventure for Nintendo's Wii U game console.
The director of the Classification Board, Lesley O'Brien, cited the Guidelines for the Classification of Computer Games in assigning the first R18+ classification.
''Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge contains violence that is high in impact because of its frequency, high-definition graphics, and emphasis on blood effects,'' O'Brien says.
Regardless of age, most gamers will be keeping their eyes open for the next generation of home games consoles from Sony and Microsoft this year.
Nintendo has a head start on its console competitors: the company launched its latest home console, the Wii U, in time for Christmas 2012.
This innovative hybrid tablet/console bundle has sold moderately well, although the Kyoto-based firm has recently lowered its forecast for sales of both the console and
software titles, because of lower-than-expected trade over the Christmas period.
Sony and Microsoft have remained tight-lipped about their new consoles; both have codenames. Sony's successor to the current PlayStation 3 is referred to as Orbis, and Microsoft's successor to the Xbox 360 is codenamed Durango. Apart from titbits of leaked information, nothing has been officially announced by either company about their coming consoles.
The world's biggest video game trade show, E3, held in Los Angeles each June, is usually the centre stage for console makers to unveil their next big things. But Sony held a PlayStation-focused press event in New York on February 20. The invitations teased that attendees would ''see the future'', fuelling speculation the company would unveil its next console.
This news, along with similar information from Microsoft about its next console, is sure to stir excitement in coming months as gamers start saving for the new games on the way and the consoles later this year.

Rules of the Game: Cranking Out the Green
When you hold investments longer than you might for a technical trade, fundamental screening criteria become more important. Too often, investors only look at price-to-earnings ratio, and neglect to dig deeper in to the company's ability to generate cash.
But, for my own analysis, when I'm scouring for large- and mid-caps -- stocks I'm most likely to evaluate for a long-term holding -- one of my regular screens focuses on free cash flow per share. I look for recent growth, and then I check those numbers against the company's earnings performance and the stock chart....460 more words left in this article.

|I think Penzeys Turkey Soup Base is a *must* for Thanksgiving gravy!
Gravy for Carb-Conscious Eaters:
-- If you don't mind a thin gravy, you can make good-tasting gravy just by adding little bit of Penzeys Turkey Soup Base the pan juices from the roasted turkey and then simmering on low until it's reduced and slightly thickened.
--I've had good luck with lower-carb gravy made with arrowroot starch, which thickens like cornstarch but with a much smaller amount. However, the arrowroot starch gives the food a shiny look, which some people might not like for gravy. There are also some tricks to using it successfully, so follow instructions.
--I've experimented with whole wheat flour for gravy, but never had good results. However, recently I tried making gravy with white whole wheat flour which I thought worked very well. I don't like overly thick gravy, so I use about one tablespoon of flour per cup of liquid, which isn't much flour. If you're limiting white flour you might want to give this a try.

Wine is a product of grapes, yeast, and time, which explains why most varietals boast a subtle clocky flavor. Sip some time-honored juices with this voucher.
Choose Between Two Options
- $30 for a wine and chocolate pairing for two (a $50 value)
- $54 for a wine and chocolate pairing for four (a $100 value)
Chocolate and wine pairings introduce taste buds and olfactory antennae to how Rutherford wines complement and deepen the enjoyment of gourmet chocolates. Possible pairs include chardonnay with lemon-infused white chocolate and rouge port with dark chocolate spiced with chili pepper and sea salt.
Rutherford Ranch Winery
Rutherford Ranch Winery's team of vintners transforms grapes into wines that showcase the abilities of California's terroir. As a testament to their efforts and three generations of family ownership, the winery garnered the 2012 Family-Owned Winery of the Year award at the New York International Wine Competition. Several of their varietals were winners as well, including the cabernet sauvignon, a blend that bewilders palates with notes of french vanilla, blackberry, and cocoa powder.
Tastings take place in Rutherford Ranch's Cabernet Room, where guests sink into overstuffed sofas to sip wine in comfort before striking out to explore the property. When weather permits, tasters can tour the winery's vineyard, gaze up through the branches of century-old olive trees, or view a live cork tree tasked with keeping fresh the millions of gallons of wine just beneath the earth's crust. Guests who look closely enough may spot owl boxes, indigenous plants, and photovoltaic cells used to keep the winery sustainable and ensure that wine is produced with respect for the land and the environment.

Apple's previously commanding share of the tablet market with its various iPad versions continues to slide amid the onslaught of competing Android devices. This leaves Apple with a market share currently sitting at around 50% in the second half of 2012.
Apple's iPad range is currently facing stiff competition from the likes of Amazon's Kindle Fire, Google's Nexus 7 and Acer's recently launched Iconia B1, Asus' MeMO Pad. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and new 10.1-inch tablet, all scheduled for launch in the first half of 2013 will only turn up the hurt on Apple, helping it lose further market share.
Since Apple is likely to launch its next-generation tablets in the second half of 2013, several non-Apple tablet brands are aggressively releasing new devices in the first half with attractive prices and specifications to boost demand, according to sources from tablet brand vendors.
