Syracuse University head coach and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Jim Boeheim, an assistant coach for the 2009-12 USA Basketball Men's National Team, chairs the USA Men's Junior National Team Committee. The Committee also includes NCAA appointees Lorenzo Romar, University of Washington head coach; Bruce Weber, University of Illinois head coach; and University of North Carolina head coach Roy Williams; while 2002 USA Basketball World Championship Team member Jay Williams serves as the athlete representative.
Brad Stevens
"I'm really excited to be included and I'm looking forward to coming out," said Stevens, who is the architect of one of the most monumental Cinderella stories in NCAA Tournament history. "Obviously we got our first taste of USA Basketball last year from a Butler perspective with our two players (Gordon Hayward and Shelvin Mack) who played on the U19 World Championship Team. I'm looking forward to the opportunity and I'm thankful for it."
This past season, Stevens and his Bulldogs entered the 2010 NCAA Tournament as a No. 5 seed and rolled through the tournament before being stopped three points short of the title in a 61-59 loss to Duke in the championship game. Butler finished its most successful season in history with a 33-5 overall record, including a perfect 18-0 slate in the Horizon League for the regular season title and collected the Horizon League Tournament crown. The Bulldogs also assembled the longest winning streak in the nation heading into the NCAA title game with a school-record 25 straight victories. The 33 wins in 2009-10 also marked a school and Horizon League record, breaking the previous high-water mark of 30 set by Butler and Stevens in 2007-08.
Stevens, who has been at the Butler helm for just three years (2007-08 to present), earned his second consecutive Horizon League Coach of the Year honor and was named 2010 NABC All-District 12 Coach following his undefeated regular season conference run.
In all, Stevens owns an amazing 89-15 (.856) record, three NCAA Tournament appearances, three Horizon League regular season titles and two Horizon League Tournament crowns.
Stevens in his first year piloted the Bulldogs to a 30-4 slate, marking school and conference records for single-season victories, won the Horizon League regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA second round. In finishing with 30 victories, at 31 years of age, Stevens became the third-youngest NCAA Division I coach to achieve that mark.
After being slated to finish fifth in the league, Stevens in 2008-09 won his second Horizon League regular season title, earned an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament and finished with a 26-6 record. For his efforts, Stevens was named the Hugh Durham Mid-Major Coach of the Year and the Horizon League Coach of the Year.
Prior to being elevated to head coach, Stevens spent six years (2001-02 through 2006-07) as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs. During that time Butler posted a 131-61 (.682) record, captured at least a share of three Horizon League regular season titles, won a pair of Horizon League Tournaments and advanced to the 2007 and 2003 NCAA Sweet Sixteens and played in the 2006 and 2002 NIT. He began his career at Butler in 2000-01 as coordinator of basketball operations.
Ken Ammann
At the helm of the Concordia men's basketball program since 2001-02, Ammann has amassed an impressive 252-66 (.792) record during his nine years coaching the Eagles. His teams, which have never posted a losing season, have won 20 or more games in eight of his nine seasons, including four with 30 or more victories.
"It is a great honor and privilege to be involved with USA Basketball and represent Concordia University and the NAIA in that regard," said Ammann. "This is an opportunity that I do not take lightly and I will do my best to serve the organization in any way I can."
Most recently, the 2009-10 Eagles went 31-4 and advanced to the NAIA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, marking the seventh time Ammann has coached the Eagles in the national tournament. He has directed Concordia to three NAIA title games, winning it all in 2002-03 with a squad that tallied the most victories in school history and posted a 36-4 slate on the season.
His NAIA title was even more impressive given the fact that the year before he arrived at Concordia, the Eagles won just 13 games. In his first year, Ammann's team bettered that by eight wins to finish 21-2, and his NAIA championship came the following season.
Ammann's quick successes at Concordia earned him the 2003 NAIA National Coach of the Year honor and in 2006-07, when his team finished with a 32-6 mark, captured its first Golden State Athletic Conference regular season title and advanced to the NAIA title game, he was named the 2007 GSAC Coach of the Year.
Ammann, an 18-year coaching veteran (1992-93 to present), began coaching as an assistant coach at San Jose State University in 1992-93. After spending two years there, Ammann worked as an assistant coach for two years at Canada College (1994-95 to 1995-96), three years at Pepperdine University (1996-97 through 1998-99) and two years at Azusa Pacific University (1999-2000 to 2000-01) before landing his first head coach assignment with Concordia.
Ammann played collegiately first at Cal State Bakersfield, then at Santa Ana College as a sophomore and finished up at Stanford University, where he was an Academic All-American.
Randy Bennett
The nine-year (2001-02 to present) head coach of Saint Mary's College, Bennett has guided the Gaels to an overall record of 183-103 (.640) during that time. His teams over the last eight seasons have not posted a losing record, and in the last three seasons alone, Bennett's Gaels went 81-20 for an impressive 80.2 winning percentage and three consecutive postseason berths.
"You can't pass up an opportunity to work with an organization as respectable as USA Basketball," said Bennett. "It's an honor to be selected as part of this coaching staff, and I'm looking forward to working with the coaches, players and everyone involved."
This past season Bennett guided the Gaels to their best season in program history. His 2009-10 squad defeated Gonzaga University, a team that had knocked Bennett out of the West Coast Conference Tournament four times since 2003, to win the 2010 WCC Tournament crown and an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. Saint Mary's used that momentum to down the University of Richmond in the first round. Advancing to the second round against No. 9 nationally ranked Villanova University, Bennett guided Saint Mary's to a stunning upset to advance to the Sweet Sixteen for the second time in program history and first since 1959 when there were just 23 teams in the tournament. Bennett's exploits earned him 2010 West Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors from The Sporting News.
The program's all-time winningest coach with 183 victories, Bennett directed his 2007-08 squad to a 25-7 mark, an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and was named the 2008 Co-WCC Coach of the Year.
Bennett brings over a quarter of a century of coaching experience to the 2010 USA U18 National Team training camp. In addition to his nine years at Saint Mary's, Bennett served as an assistant coach for 16 years (1985-86 through 2000-01) at the University of San Diego (1985-86, 1988-89 through 1995-96), University of Idaho (1986-87 through 1987-88), Pepperdine (1996-97 through 1998-99) and Saint Louis (1999-2000 through 2000-01).
A two-year collegiate player at Mesa Community College (Ariz.), Bennett played for the University of California at San Diego his final two years.
Francis Flax
The only head basketball coach that Brown Mackie has ever known, Flax has spent the last 18 seasons (1992-93 to present) compiling 344 victories, while capturing a pair of NJCAA Division II national championships (1999 and 2005). The 2008 inductee into the NJCAA Basketball Hall of Fame, Flax also advanced Brown Mackie to the 1997 and 1998 NJCAA Division II National Tournament Final Four.
"To be invited to coach at the USA Basketball training camp is an honor and distinction that very few coaches have the opportunity to experience," said Flax. "Being able to represent Brown Mackie College and the junior college coaches throughout the United States means everything to me. It is a culmination of persistence, patience, hard work, and dedication to helping youngsters achieve their dreams."
Since BMC entered the NJCAA Division II ranks prior to the 1996-97 season, Flax has guided the Lions to a 300-168 record for a 64.1 winning percentage. His 2009-10 squad went 22-13 and finished fifth in the NJCAA Division II National Tournament.
In addition to coaching at Brown Mackie, Flax spent seven seasons (2001-07) coaching the Kansas Cagerz of the USBL. As the Cagerz head coach Flax directed teams to the 2002 and 2005 USBL Finals and in 2007, the league's final season, his team won the USBL championship. When the league folded at the end of 2007, Flax had more victories in the ledger than any other active USBL coach with 129 wins.
Flax served a one-year (2008) stint as a NJCAA Basketball Coaches Association Division II representative and is currently the 2009 NJCAA Basketball Coaches Association vice president.
Prior to Brown Mackie, Flax coached at Highland Community College in Kansas and spent nine seasons coaching at a pair of Kansas high schools. In all, including the high school, junior college and professional levels, Flax has posted 771 career victories, including 520 in the NJCAA.
Brooks Thompson
Serving at the helm of the University of Texas at San Antonio squad since 2006-07, Thompson has been building his program over the last four years. In each of his first three seasons Thompson upped the number of victories, and in 2009-10 he hit the 19-win mark for a second consecutive season.
"Obviously it's a great honor for me to have an opportunity to work with USA Basketball, and the talented group of kids and coaching staff that I'm going to have an opportunity to work with," said Thompson. "Being a former NBA player and playing at a high level, but now being able to work with USA Basketball and the great organization that it is, I'm very honored and privileged and I can't wait to get started.
"We've got a beautiful campus here. It's obviously an honor for UTSA to be able to host this and have all these great coaches and players coming in here to showcase the beautiful facilities and campus we have here in San Antonio is going to be great."
With Thompson at the helm, the Roadrunners have posted a four-year record of 58-63 (.479), including a 38-24 mark (.613) over the last two years.
Thompson, who played for five different NBA teams during his professional career, came to UTSA from Arizona State University, where he spent two seasons (2004-05 to 2005-06) as an assistant coach and helped the Sun Devils to a 2005 NIT berth. He served as head coach at Yavapai College for two years (2002-03 to 2003-04), was an assistant coach for the 2000-01 season at Southeastern Louisiana University and got his first coaching assignment at the helm of Metro Christian Academy (Okla.) in 1999-2000.
Thompson also was an undergraduate assistant coach at Oklahoma State in 1998-99 and served as the director of basketball operations in 2001-02.
Drafted by the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 1994 NBA Draft, Thompson played in the '95 NBA Finals for the Magic. In addition to the Magic, Thompson played for the Utah Jazz (1996), Denver Nuggets (1996-97), Phoenix Suns (1997-98) and the New York Knicks (1998), and also played professionally in Greece (1997).
Thompson began his collegiate career at Texas A&M for two seasons (1989-90 to 1990-91) and earned 1991 All-Southwest Conference honors before transferring to Oklahoma State. As a Cowboy, Thompson earned 1993 All-Big Eight second team honors and was a 1994 All-Big Eight first team selection.

Japanese publication Sankei Shinbum has reported that Capcom will unveil Resident Evil 7 for PlayStation 4 at E3 in June (via DualShockers).
The report also quashes previous speculation that the next chapter in the multi-million selling survival horror franchise was to be an Xbox One exclusive release.
While Resident Evil 7 wasn't explicitly mentioned by Capcom, the article mentions that an 'important game' will be announced by the firm at the Los Angeles-based games convention.
In addition, it states that Capcom is expected the game to shift 5.6 million copies worldwide.
PS4 was the only platform mentioned, but that doesn't rule out an Xbox One release; Japanese media typically only mentions PlayStation platforms when it comes to the mainstream press reports.
Resident Evil 7 has been rumored for some time now, though it remains unknown what direction Capcom will take the series after the mild reception that its 2012 predecessor received by critics.
What would you like to see from Resident Evil 7? Let us know below.

Participants at the meeting, which was closed to the public and media, said the National Park Service appeared ready to commemorate the house where Washington and then John Adams lived during their presidencies in the 1790s.
"The commitment is real... to getting it right," said Edward Lawler Jr., an independent historian and authority on the Washington residence, which was located near the corner of Sixth and Market Streets.
Lawler said park officials affirmed their desire "both to commemorate the existence of slaves in the executive mansion and the executive mansion itself."
How to address the question of Washington's slaves and the house that he and Adams lived in before the national capital moved to Washington in 1800 has bedeviled the Park Service for most of this year.
Early last spring it was reported that the Liberty Bell's new pavilion, now under construction along Sixth Street south of Market, was situated near the spot where Washington quartered some of the slaves who served him during his presidency.
The resulting controversy led park officials to rethink the discussion of slavery at the park and to revise Liberty Bell exhibitions to include focused discussion of slavery in the new democratic nation.
Black leaders also called for some kind of slave memorial at the site, and Congress directed officials "to appropriately commemorate" Washington's slaves.
In recent weeks, however, the park appeared to be wavering in its commitment. Preliminary exhibition points posted on its Web site suggested Washington's house bore no "slave quarters," only a "servants hall."
Such statements drew sharp criticism in advance of yesterday's meeting.
Dwight Pitcaithley, chief historian for the Park Service in Washington, said yesterday that no decisions were made at the meeting.
He said there was a "sharing of very general perceptions about the site and expectations of what might go there."
Concerns ranged, he said, from a physical commemoration of Washington's slaves to a discussion of their lives to "making sure the third branch of government - the executive branch - is represented there physically and intellectually."
Designers took all information in and plan to come back to the Park Service within a few weeks with preliminary design ideas, Pitcaithley said.
Both Lawler and Pitcaithley said Independence Park officials said there would be some future public forum to discuss the issues.
Independence Park officials declined to comment on yesterday's meeting.

It's not so strange for Lauren Greenfield to be focusing on Dubai now. She has long been interested in excess, as in her film Kids and Money. She has now turned her sharp photographic eye on Dubai and its current state after the economic downturn. Read more at this New York Times article: Dubai's Improbable Tale.
You Are Beautiful
This was big when I was living in Florida. Someone did a "You Are Beautiful" in plastic cups in a fence, Southern-style, in, I think, Niceville (AGHHHH!), of all places. And Panama City. Reports of this have been floating around Honolulu…the phrase found in public toilets and such. Apparently the people who started this, I have heard, want you to feel free to do your own "You Are Beautiful" thang in any way you like. Please do. Read more at the You Are Beautiful website.
The Artist as a Full-on Bird
We love artists who write, and we love artists who use text in their work. Frances Stark is an artist, writer and poet. She occasionally uses test in her work, as in the mixed media work below on the left, "There will also be things that I don't like," from 2007. But sometimes her work is straightforward, and the title alone makes it whimsical, as on the work on the right below, entitled "Portrait of the Artist as a Full-on Bird," 2004 (collage on casein on canvas board).

Reiner Riedler's Authentic Fakes
Reiner Riedler is an Austrian artist who originally wanted to study ethnology. It is clear he is interested in ideas of technology, the authentic experience, globalism, simulacrum, and leisure. His series entitled Fake Holidays explores the physical manifestations of manufactured demand, constructed satiation, privileged entitlement, and the tension between excessive wants and basic human needs. His landscapes seem somehow satisfying yet, at the same time edge into the realm of post-apocalypse. He shows us indoor ski slopes in Dubai, a moonlight rest in an indoor tropical dome in Germany, and lunch on the "Star Trek Experience" in Las Vegas.
Riedler's Fake Holidays series brings to mind a quote from the now famous book Air Guitar by the critic and cultural theorist Dave Hickey on the issue of authenticity, wherein, he proclaims the giant rhinestone as his favorite object in the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada.
-Dave Hickey writes:
"One either prefers the honest fakery of the neon or the fake honesty of the sunset – the undisguised artifice of culture or the cultural construction of 'authentic' nature – the genuine rhinestone, finally, or the imitation pearl."
The distinction that Hickey is making here is that honest fakery allows an appreciation of a scene or object for what it is without deferring to culturally-imposed ideas of beauty considered to be "authentic." Essentially, Riedler has traveled the world seeking the authentic fake and in this series he gets us one step closer to seeing through the lies and empty promises of advertising and consumerism. These are the images that can only signal the end of the oil age and they stand as cultural relics of a time that has indeed come and will be very soon gone.
Also see his review at Flavorwire and his recent exhibition at Momentum Galerie, Vienna.
In the Drawing Room with a Pot of Glue
Who doesn't love Victorian photocollage? Well I do, anyway. It's odd and awkward and so strange. This new show at the Met (organized by the Art Institute of Chicago) explores this odd preoccupation of the rich. The Met writes: "Sixty years before the embrace of collage techniques by avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century, aristocratic Victorian women were already experimenting with photocollage. The compositions they made with photographs and watercolors are whimsical and fantastical, combining human heads and animal bodies, placing people into imaginary landscapes, and morphing faces into common household objects." See more at the Met's website.
Ray Yoshida's Talking Collages
James Jensen has organized a memorial tribute to the Kauai-born artist Ray Yoshida at the Contemporary Museum First Hawaiian and we went last week. May I just say that Yoshida has made some of the most ingenious collages I have ever seen? First, as a Chicago Imagist, he played with fantastical images and, I believe, tried to bridge the gap between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. At SAIC, he taught artists who would later become famous in their own right such as Karl Wirsum (I studied with him!), Jim Nutt, and Gladys Nilsson. But it is his late collage work on the second floor that is most impressive. He turns hair into clouds and clothing into mountains. Negative space speaks, and business suits with no heads twist and turn. A must see.
Subconscious Narratives: Sally French
Sally French is one of our favorite artists, and she lives here in Hawaii! I've always been partial to her truly twisted kitties in bikinis series. Recent projects include a fantastical photo series involving a giant egg and 32-foot mural in Kaua'i entitled, "The Keeper Series: He'e and the Golden Egg." "He'e and the Golden Egg" is a contemporary myth chronicling Kaua'i's evolution with the underlying theme of invasion. Narrative is almost always a part of her work."I have to have a narrative," she says in a recent interview. "I love stories. As a child I was a voracious reader." For more, go to Sally's website.
Control is Lost: Zhou Jun's Photography
We love this new work by Zhou Jun, showing now at Red Gate Gallery in Beijing. Red Gate is an incredible space; we attended an opening there in 2008.
-From the Red Gate press release by Yang Liyu:
"The last thirty years of the Chinese economic miracle has led to unprecedented changes, perhaps the most obvious being the metamorphosis of the numerous Chinese capital cities. At times marveled for their engineering endeavors and glamourous makeovers, these metropolises have equally been the focus of much debate as a result of the demolition of ancient architecture and heritage sites that stood in the way of this transformation. The result is a new modernity that bears testament to the contradictions and contrasts of the new China today.
As a photographer, Zhou Jun seeks to reveal through his unique brand of black and white photography the socio-historical narration of some of these sweeping changes. Like the works of Bernd and Hillar Becher who photographed the abandoned mineshafts and silos in post-war Germany, Zhou Jun is dedicated to immortalizing the icons of China's architecture in their states of glory, construction and isolation. With a distinct palette of greys, deliberately devoid of strong blacks and whites, Zhou Jun is constantly exploring and redefining with heightened sensitivity this constantly evolving landscape. He constructs a brave new world almost devoid of human existence where imposing buildings dominate and engage with one another. While a Northern Song landscape painting in accordance with Taoist principles pays homage to Nature by reducing the presence of human existence to an insignificant proportion, Zhou Jun creates a contemporary universe where the human condition "kowtows" instead to a concrete jungle that has taken a life of its own."

There's not a whole lot of songs that focus on New Year's celebrations besides the perennial what-are-the-words-no-one-knows-the-words Auld Lang Syne.
Young Randy Newman penned this charming ode back before he began own solo career, and the song certainly lends a positive feeling for a new year or, simply, a new beginning.
While 'Happy New Year' is the side of honor considering the date, it's the flip side that REALLY cooks, and has a quite remarkable sotry as well.
The "Beverley" here in question at the time was Beverley Kutner. A few short years later, she married legendary (and superb) British folkie John Martyn where the two recorded some lovely music together.
HOWEVER, just a few short years earlier (1966), we find 19 year old Beverley backed in the studio by Jimmy Page (laying down some of his finest ever guitar workings, with a chunking riff that's virtually the blueprint for "Communication Breakdown") as well as John Paul Jones (making this one of the earliest sessions that these two played on which is heavily proto-Zeppelin-esque). This was also the debut release from Deram records, the highly influential London beat/psychedelic/ progressive label.
This record is hypnotic; the lulling piano (played by Nicky Hopkins) juxtaposed with the heavy guitar, Beverley's confident, swaggering vocal and the always fantastic British drumming.

President Obama's Budget – Increased Spending and Taxes

A cursory review of the budget tables in his proposal indicates that the free spending Obama Administration is going to increase spending and taxes, yet claim that they are freezing spending and cutting the deficit.

Maybe JB should be careful what he hopes for. The changeable conditions that he hoped for and got didn't help him it seems.
Great effort from Bottas in difficult conditions and well done to Lewis and Seb.
Alonso has his usual third row start. If he keeps qualifying so badly he will continue to be at risk of "incidents" that can set him back in the race.

NCAA FINAL FOUR: The UCLA men's water polo team travels to Stanford's Avery Aquatic Complex to compete in the 2001 NCAA Collegiate Championship.
Saturday, December 1
Stanford (20-1) vs. Massachusetts (28-5), 1 p.m.
UCLA (15-4) vs. Loyola Marymount (14-13), 30 minutes after
Sunday, December 2
Third-Place Match, 1 p.m.
National Championship Match, 30 minutes after
UCLA, two-time defending NCAA champion, is in the Final Four for the third consecutive year. The last time UCLA reached three straight Final Fours was 1994-96. The Bruins have won seven NCAA men's water polo titles, trailing only California (11) and Stanford (eight).
UCLA ALL-TIME vs. OPPONENTS: LMU 8-0 (1-0 this season), UMass 3-0 (0-0), Stanford 52-61 (0-3)
UCLA vs. LMU: The Bruins dispatched the Lions in the teams' only previous meeting this season, winning 9-4 on Sept. 22. Driver Matt Flesher (Jr., Diamond Bar/Brea Olinda) registered a hat trick and Albert Garcia (So., Long Beach/Wilson) added two goals. Goalkeeper Brandon Brooks (Jr., Honolulu, HI/Punahou) had one of his best outings of the season with 10 saves.
LMU is led by junior goalkeeper Kevin Paulsen, the WWPA's Most Valuable Player. Freshman Stephen Lipinski leads the team in scoring
UCLA vs. STANFORD: Entering last weekend's MPSF Tournament, the top-ranked Cardinal was the only team to defeat the Bruins. Stanford has won all three meetings this season - Sept. 30 at Westwood (10-6), Oct. 14 in the NorCal Tournament final (7-4), and Oct. 27 at Stanford (8-3).
Freshman phenom Tony Azevado, the leading candidate for Player of the Year honors, has scored eight times against UCLA. Azevado led the MPSF with 64 goals in 21 matches.
LAST WEEKEND: UCLA opened the MPSF tournament by squeezing past UCSB 3-1 in the lowest-scoring match in tournament history. The Bruin defense had its best performance since a 12-1 victory over Pacific on Sept. 24, 2000.
In the semifinals, California continued its Cinderella ride through the tournament by defeating UCLA 9-7. Ormsby, Flesher, and senior two-meter Alfonso Tucay (Burbank/Burroughs) each scored a pair of goals. The Golden Bears ran off four unanswered goals in the second half to go ahead for good.
In the match for third place, the Bruins bolstered its NCAA hopes with a 7-6 overtime victory over Long Beach State. UCLA fell behind 4-2 midway through the third period before roaring back with three straight scores. Nick Pacelli (So., Orange/Villa Park) started the comeback by burying a rebound of his own shot. Ormsby tied the match by taking an outlet pass from Brooks and scoring from six meters out. Then UCLA seized the lead when Dan Yeilding (Jr., San Clemente) scored three minutes into the fourth quarter.
The 49ers responded with a goal from Trevor Wawezynski to send the match to overtime. Flesher put the Bruins ahead in the first extra session with a power-play goal, but Nathan Allard responded with a tip-in with 17 seconds remaining.
The winning penalty shot was drawn by Tucay and Ormsby's conversion proved to be the difference, as neither team scored in the second overtime.
HEAD COACH ADAM KRIKORIAN-Krikorian is in his first season alone at the helm of the men's team and his third season overall as a Head Coach. He owns a career men's record of 56-14 (21-3 MPSF) which includes two national championship seasons as Co-Head Coach with Guy Baker, the current U.S. Women's National Team mentor. Krikorian has also won two national championships in three years as the head coach of UCLA's women's team, posting a 72-19 record (23-5 MPSF).
Krikorian also won the NCAA title in his senior season in 1995 and was an assistant to Baker for the 1996 men's and 1997 women's national title teams.
JUNIOR GOALKEEPER BRANDON BROOKS-Statistically the best netminder in UCLA history, Brooks looks for a third NCAA ring in as many seasons. He has put up All-America numbers this season, compiling a goals-against average of 5.90 playing all but six quarters in 19 matches. Brooks has saved nearly 60 percent of opponents' shots on goal in 2001 (152 of 259). He owns the best career GAA in UCLA history at 5.35 and was named a first-team All-American in 2000 after posting a school-record low 4.80 GAA. The Bruins have a record of 43-12 when Brooks has started in net (including four forfeits from last season that UCLA had originally won).
FRESHMAN DRIVER BRETT ORMSBY-Ormsby is one of three frosh in this year's Final Four to lead their team in scoring (along with Azevado and Lipinski). Ormsby was fifth in the conference in goals per match (2.00) entering the conference tournament. Six of his 38 goals this season have come from the penalty line, including the game-winning goal against Long Beach State on Sunday. Ormsby is one of three Bruins, along with Brooks and backup goalie Joseph Axelrad (Fr., Studio City/Harvard-Westlake), who competed for the U.S. Junior National Team at the Junior World Championships last August in Turkey.
THE SENIOR CLASS-The bulk of the contribution of UCLA's three seniors has come this season. Jeff Pflueger (Dr., Santa Ana/Foothill), Jon Puffer (Dr., El Segundo), and Tucay had combined for just 31 goals in their first three years. Tucay has been the workhorse at the two-meter spot, scoring 28 times and drawing a team-high 35 ejections. Pflueger has 15 goals and is tied for the team lead with 22 steals. He also scored twice in last year's NCAA title game against UC San Diego. Puffer has started all but one match as a defense-oriented driver and scored the first goal in the third-place match against the 49ers.

IRVING, Texas - In blocking a Kansas freshman record seven shots in KU's 67-63 win against UTEP, freshman C Joel Embiid was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week in a vote by a media panel which covers men's basketball the conference announced Monday.
Embiid scored in double digits in two contests as the Jayhawks recorded a 2-1 record at the Battle 4 Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas, over Thanksgiving weekend. The 7-0 Yaoundé, Cameroon, native also had 10 blocked shots while shooting 63.2 percent from the field and 71.4 percent from the free throw line. His seven rejections versus UTEP set the KU freshman record for blocked shots in a game, previously held by Nick Collison (six vs. Nebraska in 2000). Embiid averaged 9.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks in the event.
Averaging 9.1 points and a team-best 7.0 rebounds, Embiid leads Kansas in field goal percentage at 67.6 percent and is third in the Big 12 with 2.3 blocked shots per game. His 7.0 boards per game are ninth in the league.
Embiid joins sophomore F Perry Ellis and freshman G Andrew Wiggins who have also been named to weekly Big 12 honorees this season. Ellis was the co-Big 12 Player of the Week Nov. 18 and Wiggins the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, also on Nov. 18.
Kansas (6-1) is in action next at former conference foe Colorado on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 2:15 p.m. (Central). The game will be shown on ESPN. CU was 7-1 on the entering its Dec. 3 contest at Colorado State.

Written by the Winners
The pages of history are filled with evil men hailed as heroes. The only thing separating them from those they waged war against is the fact that they "won" -- and along with that power comes the benefit of crafting your legacy for later generations to judge. While it's pretty common for us to rewrite our own memories to suit the narrative we choose to tell ourselves (I've done it quite often in this series), it's less common for that narrative to be the story of House of Cards.

Alessandro Del Piero appears certain to continue playing in the A-League next season and Fairfax Media understands the Italian superstar could sign a new deal with Sydney FC as early as Wednesday.
After months of talks, it is understood Del Piero has agreed to a new one-year contract worth up to $2 million.
His agent, his brother Stefano, arrived in Sydney late last week to finalise the contract extension as well as negotiate the finer details of the deal, such as new marketing strategies.
The average attendance at Sydney's games is more than 18,500 this season, the best since the first year of the A-League.

I chanced the other day the First Wave Tri Forum about an inquiry of swimming pools in Makati. This prompted me to create a simple directory of swimming pools open to the public in Metro Manila. Please note that most of these pools are generally not well maintained, being open to the public and may lack the basic necessities of a clean shower, changing room and toilette. Further, i cannot verify the length of these pools whether it to be 25m or 50m as I have only visited some of them.

Charles R. Gartrell - August 18, 2010
Charles Raymond Gartrell was born on Aug. 16, 1911 at Somerset, Neb. He was the fifth of six sons born to Arthur and Ethel Griffiths Gartrell. He was baptized into the Lutheran faith as an infant. Raymond grew up in the Dickens, Neb. community where he attended District #61 rural school. Raymond worked for area ranchers in the Dickens area until he moved to Oklahoma in 1940 where he worked as a ranch hand.
In March of 1942, Raymond was inducted into the United States Army. He served with the army until his honorable discharge in 1945. Much of his time was spent on shore patrol with dogs in the Aleutian Islands. He later served as a rifle instructor back in the states teaching new recruits shooting skills.
After his return to the area, he joined the Wallace, Neb. American Legion and was the oldest surviving member at his death.
Raymond was married to Agnes Haugland on Dec. 20, 1945 at Ogallala, Neb. Four children were born to this union. They lived on ranches in the Dickens area until moving to the Wallace community in 1966. While living in Wallace, Raymond opened graves at the cemetery for several years.
Raymond loved his family and friends and the cowboy way of life. Friends and family were very important to him and he never said an unkind word about anyone. Material things were not important to him and his children often joked that if they gave him money for his birthday he would spend it on his horse or dog.
Raymond was looking forward to celebrating his 99th birthday last Monday. He broke his hip last weekend and was transferred to the Golden Ours Convalescent Home in Grant, Neb.
Raymond celebrated his birthday with his family and doctor present at his bedside. Later, Raymond told his family it was time for him to go back home to Dickens. He died peacefully at Golden Ours Wednesday morning, Aug. 18, 2010 at the age of 99.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by five brothers, Harry, Bill, Harvey, Ernie and Russ and one sister, Hazel.
Raymond is survived by his faithful and loving wife of nearly 65 years, Agnes; two daughters, Beverly and husband Kenneth Gibson of Geneva, Neb. and Diane and husband Rick Bryant of Wallace; two sons, Jim and wife Mitzi Gartrell of rural Wallace and Bruce and wife Diana Gartrell of Columbus, Neb.; 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren; many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held Aug. 21, at Wallace United Methodist Church with Pastor Mary Fuller officiating.
Burial was in the Dickens Cemetery with a military tribute by the Wallace American Legion.
Bullock-Long Funeral Home of Grant was in charge of arrangements.

Auditors have wide latitude to inspect records and interview employees. Once an employer is notified that an audit is to be conducted, the employer should prepare for the investigation by conducting his or her own audit, immediately correcting compliance problems and preparing defense documentation.

Hi -
We are seeing this message repeated in mailbox.log.
2007-08-10 09:33:29,811 INFO [http-443-Processor97] [] FileUploadServlet - Exceeded maximum upload size of 10485760 bytes: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeL imitExceededException: the request was rejected because it's size exceeds allowed range
355 times since the log rotated at midnight to be exact.
We are also seeing enormous https traffic from a remote site, which has generated signficant excess bandwidth charges over the last few weeks. Here in Australia, bandwidth is charged per Mb.
I've just locked out all the users at the remote site and the bandwidth has dropped off. I am wondering whether perhaps a user has tried to send a really large email via the outlook connector, and then the outlook connector uploads 10Mb, gets a failure from the server and then retries?
It's only a theory, but something along these lines is sure chewing through our bandwidth.
Any thoughts on how to debug this are welcome!

Enterprise-Wide User-Id (EUID):
What is it?
A completely unique electronic identity for each individual affiliated with the University of North Texas, for each role that they have at the University (one for a staff or faculty role, and another one for a student role). It typically is three letters taken from their initials, followed by four numbers. For students, it is normally the SAME as their Eagle@Mail login name.
Why do I have one?
To provide a single login and electronic identity for as many of the University's electronic resources as possible, within the limits of existing system security structures.
Why isn't it the same as my network login (for Faculty and Staff)?
NetWare (NDS) network logins are neither unique across the campus, nor are they correlated to your University identity in any way (as defined on the mainframe databases, HRMIS and SIMS, where you are paid as an employee or register for your classes). A more detailed explanation of this problem appears below.
Everyone directly associated with the University of North Texas has at least one EUID (Login Name) assigned to them in the Enterprise-Wide User-ID system operated by Academic Computing. Originally described in the Enterprise-Wide User-ID Specification Working Document (1997) formulated for the Information Resources Council (IRC), this system for assigning unique electronic identities to people was implemented in fall of 1999 to make the campus-wide student email system (Eagle@Mail) possible. It parallels and expands upon the existing UNIX login name system (originally called Jove and/or Sol accounts), which constituted the largest set of unique login names of any existing system on campus. As a general rule, it has no correlation to NetWare or Windows network accounts, or any other similar system, for a variety of reasons explained below.
As currently implemented, the Enterprise-Wide User-ID Specification (EUID) system meets many of the original system design goals:
The EUID system assigns a completely unique three-letter, four-number identity to every person identified in the mainframe Human Resources (HRMIS) and Student (SIMS) databases. The letters are drawn from the initials of the person's name, and the numbers are sequential. Well over 50,000 identities have already been assigned to everyone with an entry in the two mainframe databases, and new additions are assigned as soon as they appear in these databases. Individuals who are both students and student employees will have two separate, unique, electronic identities; one as a student, and one as a staff member. Others are assigned to people affiliated with the University who do NOT appear in the mainframe databases, upon certification of their eligibility to use University Computing Resources. These identities are actually stored twice in each record, once as a permanent UID, and again as an EUID which it is possible to change later (for faculty and staff only).
These identities are stored on a large Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, which will eventually become integrated into many other information resources as a campus-wide directory service. This system currently stores the individual's nine-digit UNT ID number as the password, and this password becomes blocked as people leave the University for one reason or another. Note that UNT ID was NOT usable as a unique key because (a) it is not unique in LDAP, since there are both student and faculty/staff records for the same person, and (b) the use of Social Security Numbers for UNT IDs places the use of that data under a variety of Federal Laws and restrictions.
The EUID identities stored on our LDAP server are used as Login Names (and the associated UNT IDs for passwords) for WebCT accounts, access to the Library CD-ROMs, and for the Remedy Action Request System. The logins (not the passwords) are normally the same as those on all Internet (UNIX and IMAP mail) accounts. They are the ONLY logins that are unique across campus. By keying everything to the central LDAP server we are trying to get MOST of our campus-wide electronic resource systems onto one login and password system.
For the vast majority of University of North Texas customers, the Remedy Action Request System uses a Login Name drawn from the Enterprise-Wide User-ID (EUID) system. Remedy uses the same EUID data as LDAP, but uses different Login Names for Computer Support Staff to TRY to make things easier for the heaviest system users. Computing Center staff accounts and Remedy Computer Support staff accounts have been changed to match NetWare accounts names wherever possible. Everyone else can look up their EUID for Remedy (or any other purpose) on the What's My EUID? lookup page.
Why there is no correlation to NetWare or GroupWise
The first question many faculty and staff have about the EUID system is why it is not the same as their NetWare or GroupWise account. In fact, the EUID identities bear no relationship to Netware/GroupWise because that system (NDS) exists in complete isolation from all other campus databases - it shares no common key that we could have used to look up the NetWare names, and the form of name used is almost never the same as it is in HRMIS. Further explanation is necessary.
Historically, NetWare and GroupWise accounts were created locally on each server by departmental network managers and their staff, usually without any attempt to ensure their uniqueness on the campus. When the campus migrated to a university wide NetWare Directory Service (NDS) several years ago, this problem was not cleaned up since Novell object names only had to be unique within their own container. As a result, there are a large number of Login Names and GroupWise mail accounts in NDS that are actually duplicates of each other without the addition of a context (container) name. As they exist today, they are unusable in any campus-wide, unique-keyed directory like the Enterprise-Wide User-ID system. In fact, they cannot even be correlated to one.
Compounding the problem, there is no way to correlate any of the records in NDS to the mainframe databases (HRMIS and SIMS), since NDS contains no key field that allows them to be matched to the people in the mainframe databases or in the EUID system (LDAP). They cannot be correlated on name, either, since the mainframe and LDAP EUID databases use the "official" form of the person's name, and NDS usually contains some common-use form of the name that is quite different.
EUID Convergence - the Elusive Goal of a "Single Login"
Ideally, the electronic identities in the EUID system, as stored in LDAP, will be changed for faculty and staff members to match the local area network (NDS) login names. This will NOT be done for the much more numerous student accounts. Several things have to happen first.
Obviously this process will take time, especially the resolution of duplicate names. In the process of changing Remedy Login Names to match NDS names for the Computing Support staff alone (less than 300 accounts, which will be posted as EUID changes later), over a dozen duplicate names were found and had to be avoided.
The requirement to deploy campus-wide student email and bulk emailing capabilities before the Spring 2000 semester, drove the creation of the current Enterprise-Wide User-ID (EUID) system. This article may have helped you to understand why we had to programmatically generate new EUIDs for most of the campus, building on the UNIX names which have always been enforced as unique, in order to bring up a complete LDAP server for global authentication to WebCT, the Library Electronic Resources, and Remedy. The use of this system will expand even more in the future, so the concept and use of EUIDs will be with us for quite a while. Find out what yours is (or are) today.

Gulf airlines splashed out on well over $100 billion of orders on day one of the Dubai Airshow, underscoring a shift in power in the aviation industry and giving a boost to the formal launch of Boeing's newest jet, as well as to Airbus's A380 superjumbo.
Under hazy skies, Sheikhs and ruling family members of Dubai and neighbouring Abu Dhabi toured rows of passenger jets and arms pavilions at the new 645,000 square metre venue, built to showcase the Middle East's largest aviation hub.
Dubai-based Emirates led the buying spree on Sunday with an order for 150 of Boeing's new 777 mini-jumbo, in a deal worth $76 billion at list prices. It also ordered 50 Airbus A380s, the world's biggest passenger plane, worth $23 billion.
With demand from Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways as well, Boeing announced commitments for a total of 259 of the new 777 jet, previously codenamed 777X, worth about $100 billion at list prices - the largest combined order in its history.
"The response to the 777X has been astounding," Boeing Chairman James McNerney said at a packed news conference to officially launch the new plane, in front of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.
Gulf airlines are competing with each other for a share of traffic flooding through the region, due to its strategic location between East and West, and with many recession-hit European airlines strapped for cash, their business is becoming increasingly important to Boeing and Airbus.
The revamped 777 marks a new front in the battle between the two aircraft manufacturers that dominate the civil aviation industry. Boeing's new plane is aimed at heading off competition from the largest version of Airbus's A350 in the mini-jumbo market that drives growth and connectivity between continents.
Boeing's top planemaking official pledged not to let a dispute with Seattle assembly workers over where the plane should be built interfere with its launch, which kicked off the Nov. 17-21 Dubai show.
The US group is looking for a home for the new jet after members of the International Association of Machinists rejected a proposed contract that would have seen Boeing commit to keeping the latest member of the 777 series near Seattle in exchange for restructured benefits.
Airbus, which has a record of springing surprises at air shows, is keen to prevent a smooth lift-off for the new 777 and is negotiating deals for all sizes of its jets.
"Airbus is desperate to
