NVIDIA Coughs Up iPods for Articles

If two iPods can get a Vista driver article, imagine what two high-end video cards yields.
(Source: DailyTech)
When I used to review hardware, a slick gift was a polo shirt
I can't tell you the amount of USB thumb drives I've received over the last couple years. It first started innocent enough: 128MB drives to hold 100MB presentations. Unfortunately, over the last year or so the companies are more aggressive -- 1GB and 2GB modules "just for showing up."
"Keep the drive," the agencies say. "Our gift."
Its easy to overlook the odd thumbdrive. It's not so easy to overlook an iPod Nano ... or two. At my old company,
, anything that cost more than the price of shipping went back to the vendor, including the unsolicited stuff.
Reviewers are certainly not shy about accepting such gifts. Hardware.FR
proudly included two iPod Nanos sporting the NVIDIA SLI logo in a recent satire filler
) regarding NVIDIA's Vista SLI performance. It's a little unfair to single-out Hardware.FR, given that it took me no less than five minutes to confirm several other publications received the same gift.
It's bad enough when the rogue reviewer puts an unreleased next-generation video card on eBay. It's even worse when someone starts hawking the lagniappe as well.
To the reviewers: C'mon guys, do you really need the money that bad? Does anyone need proof of the effects of sloth and hubris on the tech journalism industry?
To NVIDIA: Shame on you. If your presentation was not able to capture the attention spans of reviewers without placing it on a pair of MP3 players, it shouldn't have been sent out.
NVIDIA has an embargo lift on its GeForce 8800 GT (codename G92) on Monday. The prudent reader should ask, "Am I reading a thoughtout analysis, or am I reading something coerced by two shiny new iPods?"
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

Welcome back! (And if it's your first time here… where the heck have you been?!)
The RealRyder® Indoor Cycling bike is like no other indoor bike on the planet. Our unique, patented articulating frame technology lets the rider - any rider, novice to pro - fully engage their body and mind in a one-of-a-kind tactile, dynamic and functional riding experience.
Forget everything you've come to expect (and accept) about stationary bikes—the RealRyder® ABF8 will introduce you to the future of riding inside. That's right, you heard us. We're finally riding, not just pedaling, and we're doing it inside!
Moving across three planes of motion on our bike is not just some after-the-fact marketing department B.S. We actually designed our bike from the ground up not paying heed to traditional stationary bike standards—a narrow category, which hasn't introduced any sound biomechanical advances in decades.
We were motivated by a different calling. We were motivated to create an indoor bike that we could ride like an outdoor bike! Call us crazy bike geeks, but it sounded worthwhile. And, it seemed to us that this kind of bike would not only be more fun, but that it would actually be better for us than just pedaling away the hours on static equipment locked into one plane.
More than just another pedaling contraption on the market, we wanted an indoor riding machine that you could steer and lean, and balance on top of. An indoor bike that lived in the footprint of a stationary bike, but was decidedly not stationary. Our bike moves around under you, and you balance on top, steering, adjusting and pedaling… Welcome to RealRyder®. The training wheels are off, folks. You can relax. We finally figured out what a stationary bike can be.
RealRyder® International is the only indoor bike maker on the market that focuses on one thing, and one thing only: Making the best indoor bike on the planet. Ever see a kid ask to put the training wheels back on? We haven't. We've taken the training wheels off the indoor bike; once you've experience our ride you will join the legions of riders who adamantly state that they'll never ride a conventional stationary bike again.

Guerrilla Bob LITE
by: Angry Mob Games • 7.1K
All Android applications categories
by: Angry Mob Games • 7.1K
Published: 2011-05-16, by Manu Galvez.
Guerrilla Bob will bring the arcade times that time to your Android, no need to insert coin!
You're a guerrilla called Bob whose aim is to survive lots of enemies that want to see him dead. The only way to achieve it is by killing them using different weapons: machine gun, timed bombs, molotov cocktail, grenade launcher... and many other. You will have to collect money from the enemies and use it to buy weaponry in the store. Control Bob with a screenpad, acceptable screentouch response (not perfect). Controls lack of intuitiveness: it's a bit complicate to get the hang of it.
There are different game modes: Story Campaign, split into Arcade mode, where Bob fights for fame and Mercenary mode , where Bob fights for fortune. The Classic Survival Mode is the endless one. In the Wave Attack Mode you have to face hordes of baddies. Unlock areas and power-ups as you progress through levels. You can also choose between two difficulty levels: easy and hard.
Guerrilla Bob is set in stunning 3D graphics. It works properly in the most of the latest devices with Android 2.2 and later. Games like this one makes upgrading worth. No chance for low-end devices.
Apart from the graphics, its main strength is that Guerrilla Bob has a multiplayer and its online leaderboards (OpenFeint). There's also a CO-OP multiplayer mode using local Wi-Fi. Let's get united with your friends to to finish off enemies.
Guerrilla Bob has been developed by Angry Mob Games, an emerging developer. They've just launched two games so far, Bob Guerrilla in both iOS and Android and Predator in iOS.
Just one more thing: after the initial download there is a second much longer one. So do not expect to play immediately.
Guerrilla Bob merges great graphics, addictive gameplay and different game modes (including multiplayer). For us three ingredients that make up the recipe for success.

When John Morris saw a burglar climb out of his neighbour's home and run off down the street, he didn't think twice.
He took off after him, tackled the man and sat on him until police arrived.
The Bay of Plenty Regional Council senior pollution prevention officer had gone to his Riverton Rd home for lunch yesterday, when he learned there was a would-be burglar inside his neighbour's house.
While talking with his neighbour outside, another neighbour showed up. Together, four men went to catch the offender in action.
Mr Morris headed to the rear of the property while the others went to the front.
"Then the guy out the front said 'he's coming out the window'. I didn't know which one, but I saw him jump out the window and run off to the corner of Tay St and Riverton."
The man headed toward a woman walking her dog, who threatened to let the animal loose if he did not stop.
"And he hesitated," Mr Morris said.
"That hesitation was just enough for me to catch up with him and tackle him to the ground. There was nothing else to do."
Mr Morris then sat on the man, who was wearing socks on his hands.
"I told him to stay on the ground and all he said was 'That was a good tackle, bro'."
The other neighbours and the woman joined Mr Morris and waited until police arrived.
He said the scenario was very much a "team effort".
Tauranga Senior Sergeant Cam Anderson said the four people involved in the citizens' arrest were an ex-police officer, an off-duty police officer and two neighbours.
"The obvious problem with these situations is the potential dangers they could have faced. You never know what is going to happen.
"In this case they have done the right thing by calling us and then, when the person tried to escape before police arrived, there was sufficient people there to deal with the situation."
The man was arrested at the scene, charged with burglary and taken to Tauranga police station.
Mr Anderson said police inquiries were continuing.
"It's an ongoing inquiry. It appears there may have been more than one house involved."
Mr Anderson said burglaries happened all year round throughout the Western Bay and he advised people not to make it easy for people to steal from them by leaving valuables visible.
"There are specific areas where there are problems but I don't want to divulge what we're doing or where it is. We've got cars patrolling in these areas and tasks staff have to do and, although we're trying to prevent crime, we're also trying to catch them in the act."
- By Kiri Gillespie and Genevieve Helliwell of the Bay of Plenty Times

Researchers in a study measured the diets of 4,429 Asian, European and U.S. men and women, aged 40 to 59, who were free of diabetes. Compared to those with the least BCAAs in the diet, those with the highest levels were 30 percent less likely to be obese.
According to the doctors, leucine stimulates the anti-hunger hormone leptin and promotes insulin secretion, lowering blood sugar. Isoleucine stabilizes and regulates blood sugar and, together with valine, helps repair muscle tissue and increase energy.
BCAAs are found in many protein based foods. Just one serving of whey providing 25g of protein contains about 5.5g of BCAAs, estimated to be the average daily requirement for adults.

SANTA CRUZ - Police responding to a reported domestic disturbance on the 1100 block of Broadway Thursday arrived to find a woman covered in blood and waving a hammer.
The woman, a 44-year-old Scotts Valley resident, told police she was visiting her friend at the home and had tried to intervene in a domestic dispute. The friend's live-in boyfriend, William Johnsen, allegedly attacked his girlfriend, hitting her and threatening her with a hammer. When the friend tried to break up the fight, Johnsen apparently threw the hammer at her head, Santa Cruz Police Deputy Chief Steve Clark said
Police arrested 42-year-old Johnsen on suspicion of domestic violence and assault with a deadly weapon. He was also arrested on suspicion of drug possession after police found a small amount of methamphetamine on him, Clark said. Johnsen was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail.

RTI Presents CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
Repertory Theater of Iowa will make a move to the historic Kirkwood building (4th and Walnut, downtown) for 11 performances of the Tennessee Williams classic, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. The play, which earnEd Williams the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1955, will mark the first production in the new home of the Des Moines Social Club, which moved from their old location on Locust Street. It also marks a return for RTI, which mounted their very first production (Eugene O'Neil's Hughie) in the lobby of the hotel in 2004. An opening night gala event is planned in cooperation with the DMSC and will include a champagne reception. 2011 marks what would have been Tennessee Williams' 100th birthday.
In Cat, a family celebrates the birthday of Big Daddy. But a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past, and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie wants to tell him that she's finally become pregnant by his son Brick. But Brick won't cooperate in her plans. Swarming around them are conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most beloved son.
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is directed by RTI company member Mark Gruber and features the talents of ensemble members Tom Ahart (as Brick), Alissa Tschetter-Siedschlaw (as Maggie), Richard Maynard (as Big Daddy), Kim Grimaldi (as Big Momma), Joseph Leonardi (as Gooper), Kerry Skram (as Mae), John Earl Robinson (as Rev. Tooker), James Serpento (as Doc Baugh), and Donna Scarfe (as Sookey).
The Repertory Theater of Iowa is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization founded with the vision of creating a professional theater company of national prominence in Des Moines. RTI aims to gain a national profile by becoming an Actor's Equity affiliated theater and a member of the League of Resident Theaters (LORT), joining more than 70 LORT theaters located in cities throughout the nation.
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof performances:
April 29th through May 15th
7:30pm April 29, 30 and May 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14
2:00pm May 15 (matinee performance)
Performance Location:
The Kirkwood Building - corner of 4th and Walnut Streets in downtown Des Moines. Parking is available in the parking garage on 5th Street and Court Avenue. The Kirkwood is also located on the downtown skywalk system.
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof tickets:
$25 Opening Night Gala (includes champagne reception), $17/$20 Adults, $15 Seniors (62+), and $10 Students. All seating is General Admission. Order advance tickets online at www.RTIowa.com or by phone at 515-244-2771. Tickets may also be purchased on location at the Box Office one hour prior to performance.

New analysis of crime figures by a national research centre appears to back claims by Shipley MP Philip Davies that too many serious offenders are dodging jail.
Research by campaign group the Centre For Crime Prevention published today shows that last year some 29,000 criminals avoided prison despite 25 or more previous convictions.
And some criminals even avoided prison despite 300 or more previous convictions or cautions.
Data obtained through Freedom of Information requests shows that almost 112,000 criminals found guilty of at least their sixth offence in 2012 avoided prison.
More than 55,000 were not sent to jail despite 15 or more previous offences – and slightly fewer than 29,000 avoided prison despite 25 or more previous offences.
Peter Cuthbertson, author of the report and director of the Centre For Crime Prevention, said: "The courts are utterly failing to show they take crime seriously.
"Prison is the only sure way to protect the public from hardened criminals. The most prolific offenders are responsible for a growing percentage of all crime, and locking them up would have a massive impact on the crime rate.
"New Zealand recently fought rising crime by letting criminals know that it is 'three strikes and you're out'.
"In Britain, we don't even have 300 strikes and you're out."
Shipley MP Mr Davies has long campaigned for harsher sentences and recently revealed that more than 240 serious criminals walk free from courts every day, while only 28 are jailed.
Reacting to the Centre For Crime Prevention study, Mr Davies said: "The police do their job, the Crown Prosecution Service does its job and then everyone is let down by the courts.
"Those who re-offend time and time again get nothing more than a slap on the wrist – it's an absolute scandal."
The investigation also supported Mr Davies' findings in concluding that contrary to claims that women are treated more harshly by the courts, male criminals with either one or two previous convictions or cautions are more than twice as likely as women criminals to go to prison.
Male criminals are also 76 per cent more likely to go to prison after seven previous offences; 34 per cent more likely to go to prison after 30-39 previous offences; and nine per cent more likely to go to prison after 50 to 59 previous offences.

XC Development
Athlete Development Pipeline
The USSA's "Athlete Development Pipelines" have been a cornerstone in its program design for over a decade. During that time, pipelines were developed to illustrate how an athlete moves through the USSA competition system, and who is primarily responsible for the development of athletes at those different stages (clubs, divisions, U.S. Ski Team).
This spring, USSA undertook a revision of its pipelines to also illustrate the other factors that influence athlete development at each stage, including training, technical and tactical markers. This further development of the pipelines places an appropriate emphasis on fun, fitness and fundamentals at each of the various levels, as these are all core factors of recruitment, retention, participation and athlete development.
The pipelines are are intended to define the pace of development, to lead program design both at the club and national level, and to educate stakeholders such as parents and athletes about program design at the local level, through the national team.
Click here for the USSA XC Development Pipeline.
Development Pipeline Information:
Points List Information
USSA Ranking
To start up the Athlete Development Pipeline, you should begin competing in USSA scored events. These events are scored to a USSA National Ranking List which will be used for advancement. And you can monitor your ranking here.
International Ranking (FIS)
As you advance up the pipeline with your USSA points, you may be eligible to participate in international events (including events in the USA) and be scored on the International Ski Federation (FIS) ranking list (alpine, cross country, freestyle, snowboard). Check with your USSA Club coach or divisional contact for more information.
FIS registration is available through USSA.
You can monitor your FIS ranking here.
Team Nomination Criteria
The USSA has developed a systematic athlete advancement plan illustrated in its Athlete Development Pipeline diagram. Once you've started competing at the local level, you'll have an opportunity to advance up through the system through participation in scored events. And, who knows, someday you might make it the Olympics!
Junior Nationals
One of the highlights for athletes ages 14-19 is participation in the USSA Junior Nationals. Athletes qualify through their USSA division to compete in regional or national Junior National competitions.
The Junior Nordic Championships (JI Scandinavian Cup) are an excellent introduction to international championship competition, bringing the best young athletes from the Scandinavian nations and the United States together for an effective development experience.
U23 and Junior Teams
The annual FIS World U23/Junior Championships provide a unique opportunity for the best 15-22 year-olds of the skiing world to compete together. The World Junior Championships are important competitions in the development of future World Cup contenders, and World Cup skiers are usually found on the official entry lists.
World Championship and Olympic Teams
The ultimate in sport is to represent the USA in the World Championships or Olympic Winter Games. Athletes are named to those teams based on objective criteria, generally through FIS ranking and results in international competitions.
The next FIS World Nordic Ski Championships will be held Winter 2013 in Val di Fiemme, ITA.
The next Winter Olympic Games will be held in 2014 in Sochi, RUS.
World Cup Teams
Team Nomination Criteria
The U.S. Ski Team is nominated each year based on objective criteria, generally through FIS ranking and results in international competitions.

Here is a video of my throwing some drivers. most drives in the field ranged from 325-400+ft. Question for the knowledgeable: I throw a Wraith for a max distance driver but I have problems in head wind(alot of turnover) and don't have anything just a bit more stable, any ideas? disc wise. I was possibly thinking to pickup a Star XCaliber but still unsure. Thanks for checking out my hard work this season and any feedback is much appreciated
First shot was a 175 new Star Wraith @ ~390'
Second shot was a 170 beat Champion Surge @ ~385' (Sorry, cameraman failed me, the shot flipped at quite hard, that disc is beat to crap.)
Third Shot was a 173 fairly new Crush @ ~410'(this turned over way nice at the peak, and just fluttered back, quality of the clip is much better before i uploaded it)

September 14, 2011
Billy Collins was U.S. poet laureate during the 9/11 attacks. A year later, he wrote "The Names" in honor of the victims. He read the poem before a special joint session of Congress in 2002, and he read it again on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 for the NewsHour.

Despite reports of more trouble for Lindsay Lohan, the headline-making star says she's doing well and looking forward to continuing to work and learn from her past.
The 26-year-old appeared on "Good Morning America" on Friday, promoting her upcoming Lifetime movie, "Liz & Dick," which was daunting for the actress.
"It's always nerve-wracking to play someone that's such an incredible force. … I was kind of nervous to see what people would think of it," she told Amy Robach.
Amy didn't shy away from asking Lindsay some pointed questions.
"Liz Taylor's life was out of control at times. And to be honest, so has yours. From the moment you step out of your house there's oftentimes drama," she told the actress. "Do you think that your life and career may have been different - would have been different - without the constant scrutiny?"
"Um, obviously yes, to a certain extent. But I think that everyone goes through things in life. I like to learn from my mistakes. But I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't gone through certain things. And everything happens for a reason, good or bad," the actress said. "So you can just, you know, take what you've learned from it and move forward."
When asked who she seeks support from, Lindsay said her family is her go to group.
"Elizabeth Taylor actually went to her mother a lot," she explained. "I'm pretty much the same. My mom and my siblings."
As for her new half-sister, Ashley Horn, 17, who was revealed to be Michael Lohan's daughter this week on "The Trisha Goddard Show," Lindsay said she was unaware of her until asked about her.
"I didn't even hear that, so thanks for the news. I don't pay attention to any of it," she said. "I don't really want to get into that… I want to stay on the positive side of things."
Lindsay simply wants to focus on work.
"I keep calling my agents saying, 'Keep me on set!' Safer that way," she said. "I'm in a great place. I just want to move forward. Keep working. I'm in the process of kind of moving and spending time with my family and just being happy."

PHILADELPHIA -- It is the one certainty of the NCAA men's basketball tournament: The early rounds will produce a team of unheralded upstarts that topples a perennial power and captivates the nation with its pluck humble background and joyful style of play.
This year's upstart hails from a university that, compared with the sport's longtime powerhouses, was born yesterday: Florida Gulf Coast, which on Friday became an overnight sensation by routing Georgetown, then Sunday beat San Diego State to improbably reach the Sweet 16. One of the sport's bluebloods, and one that has legitimate designs on reaching the Final Four.
The plot twist in this year's college basketball fairy tale? Cinderella is coached by Prince Charming.
Make that a charmed prince of a guy, by all accounts, who could have retired in his 30s after amassing sufficient riches as co-founder of a health care-related technology company. Instead, Andy Enfield, a Johns Hopkins graduate who earned an MBA in finance at the University of Maryland, abandoned Wall Street and, accompanied by his lingerie-model bride who put her own high-wattage career on hold, headed south to chase a dream of coaching basketball.
Now, in just his second year as a head coach, Enfield's Eagles have made history. On Friday, they became only the seventh No. 15 seed to upset a No. 2 seed since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, beating Georgetown of the mighty Big East. The Hoyas featured the league's coach of the year in John Thompson III and player of the year in Otto Porter Jr., and stormed to the regular season conference title. Instead, Georgetown was sent packing by a little-known but high-flying opponent.
"When you watch them on tape, they're athletic. They're big and athletic. It's not a small little team. And they played very well today," Thompson said after the game.
Then, with a victory over seventh-seeded San Diego State on Sunday, Florida Gulf Coast became the first No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16. It's not a bad accomplishment for a school of about 13,000 students on the edge of the Florida Everglades in Fort Myers, one that was established only in 1991, didn't hold its first class until 1997 and is often mistaken for a community college. The school did not begin competing on the NCAA's highest level until 2007. It plays in the unheralded Atlantic Sun conference, which is filled with little-known programs such as Kennesaw State, Lipscomb and South Carolina Upstate.
"I aim for the stars," says Enfield, 43, who seemingly leads a life that legions of basketball-crazed office-workers can only fantasize about.
But asked Saturday if he truly was "The Most Interesting Man in the World," a reference to the character in television commercials for Dos Equis beer, the gap-toothed Enfield, who holds the NCAA record for free throw shooting percentage (92.5) from his playing days at Johns Hopkins in the late 1980s and early '90s, demurred.
"I'm a pretty simple person," said Enfield, who was reared in Shippensburg, Pa., the son of two schoolteachers. "It is a little chaotic around my household at times, with three small children. Being a basketball coach is not an easy profession, from the weird hours and weekends and holidays. But as far as interesting, I'd say I'm way down on the list."
Enfield's narrative may be the stuff of dreams, but it's rooted in hard work and unflagging belief.
"I've never been one to not try to do things and look for opportunities; I take those shots," Enfield said, before adding, "I've failed numerous times."
The wooing of his wife, Amanda, whose modeling career was at its peak when they met a decade ago in New York, was an exception.
It was March 2003, and a mutual friend suggested Enfield drive Amanda, an Oklahoma native, to an NCAA tournament game in Boston, where her beloved Oklahoma State was playing. She already had tickets; he offered to spare her the $500 flight.
"I pulled up to the Starbucks in Manhattan," Enfield recalled Saturday. "As soon as I saw Amanda get in my car, I knew it would be a good trip."
Their first official date was the following week: a National Invitation Tournament game between St. John's and Virginia in Queens, N.Y. The only place Enfield could find for dinner beforehand was an on-campus Taco Bell, and a romance bloomed over basketball and burritos.
A decade later, sports fans across the country are smitten with college basketball's man of the moment and his high-flying Eagles.
Johns Hopkins Coach Bill Nelson, who was among the throng at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center on Friday cheering on Florida Gulf Coast against Georgetown, couldn't be more proud.
"He is different than a lot of people," said Nelson, who out-recruited the Ivy League to land Enfield, sorely in need of a dead-eye shooter. "He sees the big picture in everything. Those are the kind of people who are pretty much successful at anything. He was a huge success in the business world but has a passion for basketball. He wanted to get into coaching."
Enfield, whose father coached junior high school basketball and built a full-size court in the family's back yard, had his shooting technique down upon arrival at Johns Hopkins, Nelson said, and he led the team in scoring all four years. To improve his defense, Nelson said, Enfield played in Washington's fiercely competitive Kenner League the summer after his junior year.
The first Johns Hopkins basketball player to earn an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, Enfield used the proceeds to pay for business school at Maryland. To make ends meet, he started a lacrosse camp on Maryland's Eastern Shore with Johns Hopkins classmate Dave Pietramala, now the school's lacrosse coach. He also started a basketball shooting camp. After business school, he set up shop as a shooting consultant for NBA players, with former University of Maryland star Walt Williams among the early clients of All Net Basketball.
That led to a job as a shooting coach for the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks and, later, the Boston Celtics.
After relocating to New York, Enfield diversified his client list and branched out into instructional videos, teaching himself to shoot left-handed as a way of vetting his methods. He sold the video worldwide through his company, OnNetShooting.com. At roughly the same time, he joined a partnership that launched a health-services start-up based on a technology called Tracked Manager. Though health care wasn't his field, finance was. The company soon was worth $100 million.
Among those taking note of Enfield's work with NBA players was Leonard Hamilton, at the time the coach at the University of Miami. Hamilton became coach at Florida State in 2002, and offered Enfield a job on his staff in 2006.
"He had a confident way about him," Hamilton said in a telephone interview Saturday. "It was easy for the players to respect him because he had worked with a number of high-profile NBA players. He could relate to the kids, and it was easy for them to believe and trust him."
That quality is what enabled Enfield to coax a cadre of gifted athletes who'd been overlooked by Division I powers like Duke, Kentucky and Georgetown to Florida Gulf Coast, which plays its home games in a gymnasium that seats only 4,500.
But in his second season as the Eagles' head coach, Enfield has the Eagles playing with freewheeling abandon, believing they can beat anyone in the NCAA tournament as long as they stick to their own, up-tempo brand of basketball that was such a hit with fans Friday against Georgetown.
After the Eagles ground out a 24-22 lead at the half, Enfield told his players not to get lulled into the deliberate, methodical game Georgetown favors. He told them to run. He told them to shoot whenever they had an opening, because they needed to score in the 60s, 70s or 80s to beat Georgetown. And the Eagles went out and scored another 54 points in the second half, sealing the 78-68 victory with a jaw-dropping array of dunks and three-pointers that the Hoyas could only admire.
Said Georgetown junior guard Markel Starks afterward: "A lot of time the public doesn't understand that it's a lot of pressure to succeed. . . . They just flat-out out-played us."
In other words, Enfield's Eagles aimed for the stars.

DORAL, Fla. - Doral Mayor Luigi Boria's nomination of former Miami Mayor Joe Carollo as the new city manager was unanimously accepted by council on Wednesday.
The city manager seat at council sat empty Wednesday as Interim Doral City Manager Merrett Stierheim announced his resignation from the city a few hours before a scheduled news conference held Wednesday.
Stierheim expressed in a letter "disappointment with [the mayor's] reluctance to share...who the candidate is." He added "The wisdom and reasons for that decision are certainly questionable."
"Mayor, what would you say to the critics?" asked Local 10's Ross Palombo.
"I don't have to comment," said Boria. "I believe he has very capable knowledge to assume the job. We'll see what happens in the near future."
When asked about Stierheim's letter, Mayor Boria said, "I don't see any critical comment in the letter."
"Mayor, he said your wisdom was questionable," said Palombo.
"We can argue about that," Boria said. "It's just his point of view."
Carollo was commissioner and then Mayor of Miami from 1998 to 2001. He was outspoken and often controversial during the Elian Gonzalez case.
"He did what he had to at that time and I'm comfortable with that," said Boria at the meeting.
Carollo was later arrested and booked for allegedly throwing something at his wife. The case was eventually dismissed.
"Mayor, do you think Carollo will be be divisive in any way?" Palombo asked.
"I'll make sure that that doesn't happen," said Boria.

The rebels in Aleppo will "undoubtedly be defeated", said Sunday Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem during a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi . "All anti-Syrian forces gathered in Aleppo to fight against the government will undoubtedly be defeated" by the Syrian armed forces, Walid Moallem said, adding that "the Syrian people are fighting alongside the army "against the rebels.
The Syrian army has been conducting since Saturday morning a violent attack on Aleppo, the country's second city. Walid Moallem accused "Qatar , Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other countries in the region of encouraging the clashes "by supporting the rebels and supplying them with weapons. "Syria is the target of a global conspiracy whose agents are the countries in the region," said Walid Moallem, adding" our people are determined to defeat the conspiracy. "
"Syria has a significant military capacity and can defend itself," he added. Walid Moallem said that fighters had entered Syria from Turkey and Iraq. "The terrorists who come into Syria from Turkey are Libyan, Tunisian and Egyptian nationals and those who entered Syria from Iraq and were arrested are members of Al Qaeda," he said.
Moallem also asked the Lebanese government to prevent "terrorists from entering into Syria from its territory". He also stated that "the views of Iran and Syria on the situation in Syria are fully compliant ".
For his part, Ali Akbar Salehi said he was certain that "the Syrian people will win" against the rebels and countries that support them.
"We are witnessing a brutal plot led by several countries at the top of which is the Zionist regime," said Ali Akbar Salehi asking countries in the region to "reflect (...) the negative consequences" of their policy of supporting the insurgents. On Tuesday, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri warned that Syria's allies "will not make a regime change" in Damascus and "bear decisive blows to the enemy" in case of intervention in the conflict.

YOU may have spotted a group of Army majors in Swindon the other week.
They're on a course at the Defence Academy in Shrivenham, and were in town for a strategic planning exercise.
At first glance Swindon might seem an inappropriate location for people to practice skills they'll eventually have to use in potentially hostile foreign environments, but I reckon it has its merits.
One of the first things a new commander on the ground has to deal with, for example, is disorientation. Now then, as anybody who's had an out-of-towner over to visit for the first time knows, we specialise in disorientation.
If the roundabouts don't get the newcomer, our tradition of assigning house numbers at random almost certainly will.
Who among us hasn't had the frisson of sadistic pleasure that comes with gazing pityingly on some poor lost soul. "Oh, I see where you're going wrong, mate. It's number 26 you're after, which used to be called number 31. It's at the end of the cul-de-sac between number 19 and number 947a.
"Mind you, that's not in this part of the street, which ends at number 12. You'll have to go to the other part of the street, which resumes three miles across town."
Our constant building of new housing developments helps us simulate the out-of-date paper maps and satellite plans that are the bane of senior officers' lives.
As we like to say here, it ain't Swindon unless your satnav's crying for its mother.
All too often an officer will seek out a site shown on charts as a field or a village, only to be confronted by improvised shelters or even a chemical weapons stockpile.
If you substitute "semi-detached" and "ideal chance to get on the property ladder", you can have pretty much have the same experience here.
In fact, if the new development is built on or near the site of something old and industrial, the "chemical weapons stockpile" aspect might be authentic, too.
Come to think of it, if the neighbourhood's shops and schools have yet to be built because no-one's quite got round to it, there should also be some authentically bewildered natives clamouring for chewing gum, nylons, books and whatnot.
Still on the subject of roads, the ones in foreign war zones often have cracks and holes. Sometimes these holes are caused by neglect, while sometimes they're huge and manmade, the result of desperate, uncoordinated attempts to restore gas, electricity, telecommunications and other basic infrastructure.
Infrastructure in general often suffers because of widespread confusion among officials over who's supposed to be doing what, when they're supposed to do it and who they need to liaise with in order to get it done efficiently.
So plenty of authenticity there, then.
Another issue faced by soldiers in urban situations is the potential volatility of the locals.
What the occupying force usually finds is that the overwhelming majority of the population are kind, decent, intelligent, thoughtful and civilised, while a small, unpredictable minority will erupt for no apparent reason.
Obviously, it's very difficult to simulate such a challenge in any British town in peacetime, but future expeditions from the Defence Academy might try attending certain pubs and clubs and then lightly bumping into people.

Straily struggles as A's drop their fifth straight
Righty allows six runs in five innings; Offense stifled by Mariners
SEATTLE -- The same team that put together a nine-game winning streak just a month ago has suddenly fallen below .500.
Yes, there's concern in the A's clubhouse, where players were left lamenting their fifth straight loss, a 6-3 defeat at the hands of the Mariners on Friday evening.
And when asked what's affecting his club's consistency, or lack thereof, manager Bob Melvin replied, "Everything."
"Offensively," he said, "we're not as good as we were early. We're getting behind, putting our team in a hole. Defensively, we didn't have any errors today, but we had some plays early on that affected us. Everybody has to pick everybody up, and we're not doing that right now. We're struggling."
For much of the season, the A's have been at their best when playing in the West. Even after Friday's loss in Seattle, they still carried a 13-4 ledger against their division foes. Upon closer review, though, these numbers aren't as telling as they might seem.
Twelve have been played against the Astros and Angels, who have combined to go 23-48 on the season. A 17-19 Mariners' club accounts for the other five games. The first-place Rangers, at 22-13, haven't even entered the equation yet, which poses alarm for an A's team that is 5-15 against everyone outside their division.
The A's are below .500 for the first time since the third day of the season. That was 37 days ago, the same day they started a nine-game winning streak. Since, they're 9-17.
"It's a strange one," said John Jaso. "We were off to such a hot start and it seemed like no pitcher had a chance against us. … It's all about getting that feeling back and keeping it alive.
"I'm not worried. I don't think anyone in here should be worried. I don't think any of the fans should be worried. I've been playing this game long enough to know how long this season is and how many ups and downs can happen."
The reeling A's still lead the Majors with 182 runs -- 140 came in their 18 wins, with just 42 scored in their 19 losses -- but their .243 team average ranks 22nd, and their 294 strikeouts, after 12 were compiled Friday, are fourth highest.
As for the starting pitchers, the same group that carried this club during last year's postseason run has looked out of character from the start. The rotation's ERA is at 5.10 following a six-run outing by right-hander Dan Straily on Friday.
"I just think we're playing bad in all areas of the game," said Josh Donaldson. "We gotta get our fight back, our confidence. It seems like, to me, we're going out there, and they jump on us somewhat early, and we're not waking back up until the seventh, eighth inning."
The A's trailed by six after five innings, but Straily's mediocre performance may have looked better on paper had he received more help from his defense.
Donaldson understands this, and he takes full responsibility for a botched play on a potential inning-ending double-play ball in the first that preceded two runs, as he crossed in front of shortstop Jed Lowrie to grab it before realizing he couldn't. Lowrie didn't have enough time to react and knock down the high hop.
"I don't know that it's a double play, but it's certainly an out," Melvin said. "If he goes to get it, he should just keep going to get it. Your instincts take over right there, and he's a guy that has some range to get those balls. He knows he should just keep going. The last thing he wants to do is block the shortstop out on a play like that."
Said Donaldson: "I kept going and I saw him in the corner of my left eye, and I knew it was going to be a play for me where I was going to have to reach pretty far to get it. Once I saw him, I tried to stop and let him take over. … It's definitely on me."
Lowrie was at the center of another defensive miscue in the third. He misplayed a ground ball, though it was deemed a hit, then two outs later Justin Smoak drew a walk from Straily and Raul Ibanez followed with a three-run homer.
Straily walked four batters on the night, and three of them scored.
"I thought the whole outing was based off of one changeup I left up that Ibanez took out," said Straily, who has a 7.06 ERA after four starts. "That changed the whole game. I make that pitch, and he rolls over it, and it changes everything. You can't make that one mistake."
Aside from a two-run double off the bat of Lowrie in the sixth, A's hitters were silenced by Seattle righty Hisashi Iwakuma, who surrendered a leadoff hit to Jaso before retiring 16 straight. He allowed just four hits total over seven impressive innings.
Oakland's only other run came in the eighth, when Derek Norris collected his first homer of the season off lefty Oliver Perez. After that, the A's were put down in order, their confidence dropping all the while.
"I think we've been beaten pretty badly, and it's easy to lose confidence," Lowrie said. "But I think it would be better to say we just need to play better baseball."

The 21-year-old opened the month with an eight-game hitting streak and finished it with a 19-game streak. His current 21-game hitting streak is the longest active streak in professional baseball and the third longest in club history.
Owings leads all of professional baseball with 86 hits and leads the Pacific Coast League in games (57), at-bats (251) and runs scored (48), while his .343 batting average ranks sixth.

The conference, held biennially, includes workshops, presentations, performances and a trade show in of all the key areas of arts education: dance, music, theatre, visual arts, arts advocacy and arts leadership. This year's theme is "Arts Vision for the 21st Century: Dream It, Live It, Achieve It."
Randy Dorn, superintendent of public instruction, has repeatedly stressed the value of arts education. "The arts are core subject areas and essential to a well‐rounded education," he said. "The creative problem solving that arts education fosters is crucial for our students. I urge all school districts to ensure that all students have access to the highest quality opportunities in arts education."
"The conference will be an informative and motivating event for all attendees," said Anne Banks, program supervisor for the arts at the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. "The ArtsTime conference will provide an opportunity to learn and collaborate to strengthen arts education for all Washington students," she said.
Lynell Burmark, author of Visual Learning: Learn to See, See to Learn, will be the keynote speaker on Jan. 19. Roger Fernandes, a storyteller and member of the Lower Elwha Band of Klallam Indians, will give the keynote on Jan. 20. In addition, "super sessions" on January 20th will give participants a chance to experience all of the arts disciplines.
The conference is supported by many arts organizations, including ArtsEd Washington, Dance Educators Association of Washington, Washington Alliance for Theatre Education, Washington State Thespians, Washington Art Education Association and Washington Music Educators Association.
The Arts have been an integral part of the complete education for students in Washington's learning goals since 1993. Both state and federal law identify the arts as a core academic subject area. The arts are also a part of our state's high school graduation requirements and since the 2008-09 school year, districts have reported to the state the use of student assessments in the arts using the OSPI-developed Arts Performance Assessments.

By Ayai Tomisawa
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average rebounded 2 percent on Tuesday, regaining some ground lost in the previous session as fears receded that a controversial bailout proposal for Cyprus could reignite the euro zone crisis.
Analysts said that the disruption to the Japanese market from the unusual bailout plan for Cyprus seems to have run its course, although the Japanese equities market is prone to volatility because it is vulnerable to a rise in the yen when global market uncertainty increases.
"It looks like the bailout issue will be contained in Cyprus itself and it probably won't spread to the euro zone. As the Japanese market was rallying lately, Monday's selling served as a good opportunity for correction," said Yutaka Miura, a senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities. "But European debt issues will likely take years to be resolved, and we need to be prepared for a sell-off like this again as the Japanese market could easily get hit by a strong yen when investors buy the yen."
The Nikkei <.N225> added 247.60 points to 12,468.23 after sliding 2.7 percent on Monday, its biggest one-day drop in 10 months. The index is just 0.74 percent away from a 4-1/2 year high of 12,560.95 marked last Friday.
Ahead of a parliamentary vote in Cyprus that will either secure the island's financial rescue or threaten default, euro zone ministers have urged Cyprus to let smaller savers escape a controversial levy on bank deposits.
Still, investors are concerned that forcing ordinary citizens to fund bank rescues up front, through a tax on deposits, is setting a precedent that could lead to other bailout countries imposing something similar on depositors.
On Tuesday, Monday losers such as exporters and financials were bought back. Sony Corp <6758.T> surged 6.8 percent and was the most-traded on the main board by turnover. Mazda Motor Corp <7261.T> jumped 5.6 percent and Nikon Corp <7731.T> rose 3.4 percent.
The broader Topix gained 1.7 percent to 1,045.89 in relatively thin trade, with 2.84 billion shares changing hands. Last week, average daily volume was 3.72 billion shares.
The benchmark Nikkei has rallied nearly 44 percent since mid-November when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe embarked on aggressive fiscal and monetary expansion campaign to revive the ailing economy.
Investors are also focused on the U.S. Federal Reserve's two-day policy-setting meeting starting on Wednesday and the change of leadership at the Bank of Japan this week.
"Investors are ready to chase the market higher to 13,000 on hopes for easing by the new leadership next month," said Mizuho's Miura.
Goldman Sachs remained upbeat on Japanese equities, lifting its 12-month Topix <.TOPX> target to 1,250 from 1,100.
"Without a doubt, going 'long Japanese equities' has become one of the most popular trades among global investors in 2013. This is not to say, however, that every long-only foreign investor is neutral or overweight Japan," Goldman Sachs said in a note.
"We estimate that if the underweight gap of 2.8 percentage points of EAFE-benchmark mutual funds were to close, this could imply roughly $42 billion of potential foreign inflows from this investor segment." (EAFE=Europe, Australasia, Far East)
Foreign investors bought 1.12 trillion yen worth of Japanese shares in the week through March 9, their largest net purchase since the Ministry of Finance began collecting the data in 2005.
Market participants said that Japan's decision to join Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) membership talks was acting as a long-term catalyst to chase the market higher.
"This is, in our view, clear evidence that Abe is not just about 'buying growth' ahead of the July elections, but really about a fundamental pro-growth policy change," Jesper Koll, head of Japanese equity research at JPMorgan, wrote in a note, adding that banks would be a prime beneficiary if TPP forced a rise in competition, which would mean that companies would re-invest in buildings and facilities as well as accelerate mergers and acquisitions.

A DAY care centre with a difference could soon be opening near Winchester.
But instead of babies, its main clientele will be dogs.
Similar to a crèche, people will be able to drop off their dogs for the day, and the centre would cater for up to 40 animals from Monday to Friday, 8am until 6pm.
The proposed plans, for Unit 5 of Four Dales Farm in Otterbourne, would also see puppy classes some evenings.
The planning statement reads: "The centre will help the community in many ways. It will work in a similar fashion to a crèche allowing dog owners to work full time hours whilst providing adequate care for their dogs. This will also assist with noise nuisance from dogs left at home throughout the day. As there will always be staff at the centre the dogs will always be supervised and will be mentally and physically stimulated through structured play, exercise and rest."
The unit is currently used for storage, and Winchester City Council has received the planning application to see its change of use with the consultation due to close on June 5.

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA – Jerry Holloway has spent most of his life in public service. As a police officer for 20 years in Costa Mesa and later a lieutenant, he worked with the City Council. Now for a decade, he's pursued a goal of creating fair and honest government.
Last week, Holloway was lauded by local, regional and state groups for his leadership as he served at his final City Council meeting. He received his own street sign and a key to the city. Holloway, 57, called it a "perfect night."
"I will miss most the feeling of satisfaction from working with the other council members and staff to meet the needs of our residents and businesses," he said. "Watching individuals work together towards a common goal always appealed to me."
Holloway calls the City Council "championship team RSM" because of how he and others have worked together to reach common goals. Holloway credits the council with creating a safe and clean city, maintaining financial stability, providing a great place to raise children, offering many community events, meeting the needs of businesses, and finally getting "In-N-Out" to build a restaurant in town.
In an interview with the Register, Holloway, a 22-year resident, reflects on his role on the council, his goals and the city's next steps.
Q. Why did you decide to run for City Council in 2002?
A. I have always found the process of government intriguing. As a Costa Mesa Police lieutenant, I dealt with the City Council on several occasions and was further intrigued by how they went about their jobs. Reading about the efforts of those responsible for Rancho Santa Margarita becoming a city, was very inspiring. I wanted to work with Gary Thompson, Neil Blais, Carol Gamble, Jim Thor, and Carol Lewis.
Q. How did the decade on the council change or strengthen you initial idea of public service?
A. I have been a public servant most of my adult life. It is a profession where you're every move is evaluated by those you serve, which I think is as it should be. Over the years public servants have been under more and more scrutiny, for various reasons. I think that is a good thing. Scrutiny ultimately produces the best possible results for everyone.
Q. Is there anything you would have done differently?
A. Rather than waiting for public input, I see now that I could have been a bit more aggressive in soliciting it.
Q. What did you most want to achieve?
A. I wanted to work with the public, city staff and the other council members to provide honest and fair government.
Q. Did Rancho become what you had hoped it would two years after incorporation?
A. Absolutely! Over the years we have had a few individuals criticize what the city has become. What is telling to me is that those few still live here. This is a great place to live, work, or visit.
Q. What is the most important issue now facing the current council?
A. The Chiquita Ridge project. Rancho Santa Margarita has a shortage of sports fields. This project will require a tremendous amount of work and attention to detail, as well as collaboration between city and private entities. Most all youth sports organizations will want field space, and should be involved with the planning process. It has the potential to be the premier sports facility in South Orange County. It needs to meet the needs of youth and adult sports activities. It needs to be fiscally self sufficient. The current city council and staff have all the necessary tools to make sound decisions regarding this process. I have every confidence in the world it will be a great development
Q. What's next for you?
A. I am always looking for new opportunities. My wife Ellen and daughter Cortney keep me going.

Minor League Update
Games of Thursday, July 25
Pitching Prospect of the Day: Kyle Zimmer, RHP, Royals (Double-A Northwest Arkansas): 6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 12 K. Someone asked me what I thought of Zimmer tonight. My response was simple, "He needed to get it early in the season and he didn't for a little stretch, but watch out now because he's coming for any hitter." Zimmer has one of the best curveballs I've ever seen, and he also can easily touch 98. The changeup is a solid-average offering. Check back to our first official Eyewitness Accounts series to see what Jason Cole and I said about Zimmer; 12.0 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 19 K in tw Double-A starts.
Position Prospect of the Day: Francisco Lindor, SS, Indians (Double-A Akron): 3-5, 2B, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, K. Just a baseball player who simply just gets it done time after time. That is how I would describe Franisco Lindor. I project him to be a plus hitter who will provide 10-12 home runs and plenty of doubles. Defensively, he is as smooth as they come, and has the chance to compete for Gold Gloves. I've always said this, and I hope in this day of fantasy baseball we still appreciate players like Francisco Lindor, because he will be a much better real-life baseball player than fantasy player; .441/.578/.647 with 2 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, and 5 SB in 34 Double-A at-bats.
Other notable prospect performances on July 25:
"The Good"
"The Bad"
"The Ugly"
Tomas Telis, C, Rangers (Double-A Frisco): 0-4, 4 K. Telis is a guy who would run through the wall for his coach, and I hate talking negatively about those types of guys. However, this is a night he would like to forget.

What, if anything, are you hearing about why Singleton has gotten off to such a slow start? Is it just a small sample size (150 PA), the suspension that has him behind the curve in his progress, something else?

Any reports recently on Rosell Herrera? Haven't seen an update since early June while he's posting 365/444/572 this year and 389/468/537 in 30 games after the All Star Break
Jul 26, 2013 07:01 AM
Zach ... thanks for the Baez clarification, but I'm still missing the crux of the issue. Where does "want" intersect "effort". Is he distracted by off-the-field issues? Does his "cockiness" (which has been somewhat well-documented) get in the way of his ability? It sounds a lot like a guy who knows his skills are well above the average player and tries hard to be perfect and show the world what he can do between the lines, but maybe I'm reaching. I guess what I'm asking is, can his gifts overcome his head getting in the way and make him a star?

Jul 26, 2013 10:10 AM
I know this isn't the fantasy column, but long-term, who do you like better, Zimmer or Webster? Thanks
Jul 26, 2013 09:19 AM
No problem, I'm a very average fantasy player, but understand the process and have no problems answering what I know here or on twitter. @dynastyguru, Baseball Prospectus' own Bret Sayre is absolutely fantastic with everything. I'll take Zimmer, if he pitches to the best of his ability every night out he is going to rack up a ton of strikeouts.

How did Andre Rienzo's seven-inning no-hitter not make this list?
Jul 26, 2013 13:13 PM
The White Sox and I are not on speaking terms after the whole Courtney Hawkins writeup. Joking obviously, no I did not put Rienzo in after his fantastic performance simply because I didn't have anything else to say about him. If it were a light night where I needed to fill in more prospects I would have put him on the list. However, the list was packed and I still believe everything I wrote on Rienzo before the Futures Game holds true.

Spotted this tidbit while reading the game recap at NBA.com.
So, do you guys think this means he may be interested in playing in Indiana, or do you think it was just a meaningless appearance? He doesn't become a free agent until 2013, but he may be available for trade in the near future if the Clippers do not improve.

The Teacher and his Students
A teacher and his students stand in an empty room. The room has no windows, no chalk, and no chalkboard. The room is completely barren except for 10 students and one teacher. The students ask the teacher if they can go eat lunch, and the teacher says, "That won`t be necessary, it is already here." How did they get their lunch?
AnswerThe teacher is a mathematics teacher. He makes each student pluck a hair out of their head. He then breaks off the root of each hair follicle and places all ten roots in the shape of a square. The square root of 10 is an old approximation of pi. The students divide the pie and eat lunch.

Before my nephew leaves for the Marines, I want to know that he will be protected and rescued in dangerous places if possible. I want to know why the Libyan ambassador and others were not rescued or protected, even though (part of) the seven-hour attack was being watched in real time via a drone.
Man is not causing the climate change or global warming.
I'm so glad that my hard-earned tax dollars are helping those who are on welfare and/or food stamps get a government-sponsored cell phone … . Maybe it's time to re-think my employment status so someone else pays for my cell phone, school fees and lunches, housing, medical, food, etc.
At Christmastime, the stores are overloaded with merchandise to sell. Every spare inch is full. Merchants, please consider the handicapped individuals who shop at your store. We need space for our wheelchairs and scooters. Please leave us room.
Is this Fort Wayne or Fort Apache? Three shootings in five days in broad daylight. Solution? National Guard on every street corner,locked and loaded. Someone has to take the lead and stop this madness. Don't we owe these citizens a safe place to live? I think we do.
Surprise, surprise! Now many sources, including Republicans, are admitting that the real reason they wanted to cut early voting hours in Florida was to reduce voting by minorities. How can anyone trust Republican rhetoric when it comes to voting rights?
After the election, some Republicans admitted that maybe they need to look at how they relate to minorities. Then why did the (U.S.) House Republicans choose 19 white males to chair 19 House committees?
Ironic that our (Fort Wayne Community Schools) superintendent refused a pay raise but accepted a $9,000 bonus when teachers are taking pay cuts and the buildings are in disrepair.

HOUSTON - A nurse at a California nursing home called 911 after a patient collapsed but refused to give the dying woman what could have been life-saving CPR.
It's a tough call to listen to, 7 minutes 16 seconds long.
The dispatcher in southern California is frustrated, knowing every minute lost is the difference between life and death.
The nurse stands firm and refuses to intervene as an elderly woman dies on her watch.
Lorraine Bayless, 87, collapsed in the dining room of an independent living facility in Bakersfield, Calif. She was unconscious and barely breathing when a nurse called 911.
911: "We need to get CPR started that's not enough, OK? Um, let me..."
GLENWOOD GARDENS NURSE: "Yeah, we can't do CPR at this facility."
911: "Ok, then hand the phone ... hand the phone to the passerby If you can't do it. I need ... hand it to the passerby. I'll have her do it."
The executive director of Glenwood Gardens, Jeffrey Toomer, said it is against policy to administer CPR, stating "Our practice is to immediately call emergency medical personnel for assistance and to wait with the individual needing attention until such personnel arrives. That is the protocol we followed."
The call continued:
911: "Is there a gardener ... any staff? Anybody that's doesn't work for you, anywhere? Can we flag someone down in the street? And get them to help this lady? as a human being I don't ... you know ... is there anybody that's willing to help this lady and not let her die?"
GLENWOOD GARDENS NURSE: "Um, not at this time."
The President of the Assisted Living Federation of America, Richard P. Grimes,
said, "To my knowledge, no independent living community has a policy that prohibits any individual from administering CPR under the guidance of a trained professional such as a 911 operator. Since independent living communities are not health care facilities, they generally do not have individuals trained in CPR. It is more typically the protocol and practice, in the rare emergency situation requiring medical assistance, for the staff to call 911 and await the arrival of professionals."
Grimes explained that independent living facilities are for seniors who require little or no assistance.
The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services has a wide range of licensing standards for assisted living facilities. It states training should include basic first aid and fall prevention. CPR is only required for direct care staff.

text: 'He marched to his own beat' September 8, 2002 Story Share Friends fondly remember Huntington native Dr. Paul Wesley Ambrose, who died Sept. 11 when his plane crashed into the Pentagon. The following quotes were taken from the American Medical Student Association Web site, where Paul served as legislative affairs director. "I remember walking by his office and he was lying on the floor, listening to his Goth music, steel-toed boots in the air. This was Paul's daily routine." Shawn Taylor Zelman, who worked with Ambrose at AMSA "He marched to his own beat, and made us all feel cool by association. I never knew what to expect with Paul, which made the friendship more rewarding." Erin Fuller, former AMSA staff member "My first thought was, 'My God, he's a surfer!' Then we began to talk. His passion for health-care policy and his almost innate activism was apparent from the first moment. His heart and soul were consumed by the highest ideals, and they were matched by an intellect that was awesome — the best-looking genius I ever met." Andrew Nowalk, vice president during Ambrose's Legislative Affairs Director term "I looked at this guy across the table from me, with his deep blue eyes and chiseled cheekbones and floppy, highlighted hair and cool clothes, and I prepared to write him off. By the end of the meal, after Paul had intelligently and matter-of-factly touched on his experiences hiking through South America, on the need for a more cogent public-health infrastructure, and on the writings of Hunter S. Thompson, I felt chagrined." Chris Durso, former New Physician editor "C. Everett Koop was right when he said Paul would have made U.S. surgeon general. I swear he accomplished and lived more in his 32 years than I have in 45. But I promise to do better in his memory." Rick Stahlhut, friend and former teacher "I learned of his final surprise as his Spanish instructor from Marshall University showed me pictures of Paul in Spain. I said, 'That castle looks familiar.' Sure enough, it was the castle Paul and I were to be married in. Only, Paul led me to believe that he had never seen this castle. When in reality, it was his favorite place in Spain and [he] had been there many times. This was characteristically Paul — always up to something wonderful."

Devizes NHS Treatment Centre has passed a national quality audit with flying colours.
The centre, in Marshall Road, received a routine inspection from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of all health and social care services in England.
The CQC inspector passed the centre on all five core standards:
• Treating people with respect and involving them in their care.
• Providing care, treatment and support that meets people's needs.
• Caring for people safely and protecting them from harm.
• Staffing.
• Quality and suitability of management.
The centre is operated by Care UK, a leading independent provider of health and social care services, and services are commissioned by the local NHS.
The centre provides treatments across a wide range of services including dental surgery, ear nose and throat procedures, endoscopy, general surgery, gynaecology, joint replacements (outpatient assessment only), minor orthopaedic surgery, ophthalmology and urology.
The CQC inspector's report praised the centre, saying: "Patients we spoke with told us they were highly satisfied with the service.
"One person said 'they've done a brilliant job. It's a good service.' Another told us 'it's utterly positive (the experience). I can't see how they can make it any better.'
"We saw from people's comments on the NHS choices website people had rated the service a maximum of five stars and had provided very favourable comments.
"People told us they were kept well informed of the treatment and care they would receive."
