Summary: While landing in an LZ during an Eagle Flight, this Huey was shot down. The gunner, Gary Wetzel, would earn the Medal of Honor.
Loss to Inventory
Crew Members:
War Story:
During an Eagle Flight, this aircraft was in the fourth position for the first element into an LZ and was hit by automatic weapons fire. At about 50 feet from touchdown an RPG blew out the left front of the aircraft knocking out CPT Dismukes and mortally wounding the AC, WO Artman. PFC Wetzel, the gunner, and SP4 Jarvis, the CE, were thrown from the aircraft when it crashed. When they returned to try to help the pilots, another RPG hit the aircraft wounding Wetzel. They did get the pilots out of the wreck but WO Artman died from his wounds. On January 8, 1968 we were doing Eagle flights supporting the 9th Infantry Division. ( I don't remember the unit) We were sitting on the ground at a place called the French Fort eating C's when we got the order to crank 'em up. We loaded up the slicks and flew to the LZ. As we were about 1 minute out of the LZ, and flying in a heavy right formation we received orders to go in heavy left. Gary Wetzel's ship, piloted by WO Timothy Artman switched places with mine. He ended up the trail ship on the left and my ship piloted by a Japanese CWO was the trail ship on the right. I had taken sporadic fire before but was totally unprepared for the amount of fire we received flying into the LZ. I saw so many big orange fireballs flying through the air as we flew into the LZ that I really had no idea what was going on. I knew that we were in big trouble because there was a lot of excited radio traffic flying in. I could not fire as I was on the inside of the formation and ended up being an observer. As we came into the LZ Gary's ship was hit in the AC's door with an RPG about 4 feet off the deck. They went in immediately and as soon as they hit I saw two more explosions inside the ship and troops came flying out. As we sat down to insert our troops, I said to my AC "I have my aid bag, I'm gonna go help." The AC replied "If you step on foot outside this ship I'll shoot your ass. You're here to protect this ship. We flew out of the LZ leaving two ships in the LZ and another, carrying Jimmy Banicki, was hit flying out and set down somewhere outside the LZ. The rest is, as they say, history. Tim Artman was critically wounded and died in the LZ later that night. Gary was awarded the DFC the next day in the hospital and subsequently was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. We figured out later that the Artillery and air strikes had prepped the wrong side of the river and left for us a horseshoe shaped ambush with 3..50 caliber machine guns, more RPG's than we could count, and shitloads of small arms fire. I didn't see Gary for 18 years. In July of 1986 I had the opportunity to travel to Chicago for the Welcome home parade and weekend and finally had an opportunity to sit down and talk with Gary. I had felt and still feel guilty that I didn't just grab my aid bag and run to help him, but Gary said to me "The AC was right and you did as you should have." Doc/Bac Si' Don Reynolds, Sep 97

Does anyone knows drag and drop best html editor like we can drag tables/images....etc and create webpage in minutes ? if you know them please list them here.
Ha ha, tools like that are not so popular in coding forums, as they create pretty awful code.
You could try something like Dreamweaver, but you might be better off using something simpler, like Yola. That allows you to build a free site with drag and drop.
I'm sure Frontpage does that, although the equivilant of that is basically dead rat mean, as apposed to tender juicy steak (coding via HTML/CSS).
Why do you need drag and drop? Creating a website in minutes is probably a bad idea. From every standpoint except time.
If you're not coding it by hand, it's going to be an inaccessible, bloated mess.
That's a good general rule for web development.
You might like to look at Coffee Cup's products. They have a WYSIWYG editor that also supports hand-coding. I don't use it myself because ... well, I'm just not a WYSIWYG sort of person. But it seems to be quite a nice product.
Spot on. Real web development is all about the user experience. I haven't seen one single WYSIWYG editor which produces anything even close to optimised HTML/CSS code.
If you refer to HTML text or WYSIWYG editor, try ckeditor. It is pretty easy to include and very popular
I agree. But to be fair, that's not the purpose of a WYSIWYG editor. These are tools aimed at non-coders - people who just want to get a quick website up and running. That's a perfectly legitimate goal. Although "real" web developers generally don't use these tools, they do have a useful role to play.
Is there anybody out there who is familiar with Xara? I took a look at their website and checked couple of websites made with Xara and I was wondering if anyone can give me an honest review about Xara
The whole 'hand written' mantra is a bit tedious, even if it is pretty much always correct. Nonetheless, unfortunately it's become a self-flagellation ritual for code snobs.
User experience is in no way connected to optimised hand written code.
It's possible to have fantastic, streamlined, enjoyable and intuitive interfaces and experiences that have impenetrable spaghetti code behind the hood.
It's also possible that the most cleanest, zen perfect code, written one character at a time in emacs, while sitting cross legged chanting linux man entries and all the while with one hand reverentially placed on a copy of css mastery, that turn out as awful 'designed by a programmer' ui, and aesthetic car-crashes.
Should we should abandon photoshop and edit images one pixel at a time, stoically typing in millions of rgb values, or abandon protools and create edit lists of audio in a text editor, plotting a waveform sample by sample? There's nothing inherently wrong with abstracting an arduous and technical process to a visual, easily manipulated and intuitive hands on process.
Why something as extremely simple (relative to many of the wonders modern computing science and maths can solve) as aligning a few boxes with some text in them, and boiling this down to a handful of sensible, semantically correct descriptive language, has proven so difficult to the likes of Adobe is a real mystery.
I'm not disputing that at all, I was just saying how immature the technology still is. For instance, none of the "visual editors" in content management systems, actually work well. For that reason, I always recommend to all my clients they learn to use Markdown. It's so much easier to work with and takes all of 10 minutes to learn.
But back to the topic on hand; is a web designer who can't produce valid HTML and CSS a web designer or just a graphic designer? It's an interesting question and one that gets asked a lot.
:lol: what EastCoast said. If someone could create a drag-and-drop Web development tool that produced clean, semantically accurate and valid code, they may or may not make a fortune, but they'd certainly impress a lot of people.
I addressed that question not too long ago... Not including this to blow my own horn, but to share some of the great quotes and comments from that article and the discussion it sparked.
This will be out soon and looks amazing! Make sure to view the demo video at macaw.co
Thanks everyone.
This threadf is very old and I'm sure the OP must have made a decision by now.
Thread Closed.

Inside Microsoft's Surface RT Tabletby Anand Lal Shimpi on 10/16/2012 11:00 AM EST

extide - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkMicrosoft gets it! People want something that is QUALITY! I think this device will have a huge impact. :) Reply
yannigr - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkYes, a negative one in Microsoft's financials. The prices that I see today are like this is an Apple device. It is not. Microsoft is going to learn the hard way why you can't pretend to be Apple when you are not Apple. It doesn't matter if you are equally famous or big. Only Google realized that.
Just to be clear. I am not an Apple fanboy. And I am not an Android fanboy. My smartphone is a windows phone and I only have PCs. Also love Firefox. But surface is going to fail. Reply
extide - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkI think it's a bit premature to call it a failure. We will have to wait and see. Honestly I don't think people really care what brand stuff is as long as it is the nice/cool/new/hot thing on the market. If they advertise this right then I have little doubt it will at least do pretty well. Reply
headbox - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkI'm sure they'll sell hundreds of these Reply
B3an - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkThey've already sold out of the 32GB model. 3 weeks wait now.
I'm sure people will now just say it's because MS didn't make many. As if the new factory MS built just for making these things is only going to be producing 10 a week or something... Surface will sell millions.
I'll happily get a Surface RT over iPad. It's clearly HIGHER build quality too. iPad = aluminium, the weakest metal. Surface = magnesium. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkYeah, Transformer tablets sold out, too. iPad still dominated Android big time.
Besides, I think you should wait for real reviews before stating categorically that you love the device. You may yet be surprised by the ways in which the Metro UI does not satisfy you. After all, i'd hate to have call you a MS fan boy, but someone who says, "I love the product and I will always love the product no matter what!" is dangerously close to that. Reply
B3an - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkI already have Win 8 RTM on my workstation and love the UI. I already know what i'll be getting with Surface, a much better UI than on other tablets. Reply
Wolfpup - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkShouldn't you consider waiting for Windows 8 tablets though? Even if you like Metro, you're saying you like Windows 8...which this isn't, sooo.... Reply
B3an - Thursday, October 18, 2012 - linkThat don't make any sense. Win 8/RT both use the exact same Metro/Modern UI, it's identical. Even the desktop is the same for the most part (minus a few features and not being able to run x86 software) but If you stick to the Modern UI on a Win 8 or Win RT tablet you literally wont be able to notice any difference between them. I'm not saying i definitely will be getting a Surface RT (i might wait for the x86/Win8 version) just that i'd easily choose Win RT over the competition. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Friday, October 26, 2012 - linkAnd thus the real reason is revealed...
The workstation will virtually match in OS, so B3an doesn't have to learn anything different.
There you go people, it's all right there. Simple as can be, and completely valid, even if others choose some other path. Reply
musicus - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkLol, that was a good one! Reply
lilmoe - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThat's a ridiculous argument.
Samsung is getting away with similar pricing on so-called "cheap plastic" with their Galaxy S series. If the Galaxy S4 comes with "premium" materials, Samsung could arguably get away with higher pricing than the iPhone.
It's not about "being Apple". It's about building a fast, good, efficient, and reliable product with an acceptable ecosystem and great customer support. That's the key to success in this time and age.
Surface is on its way to being a success in the tablet world IMHO. Yes, even with that "pricing". You simply get "more" with the same price compared with an iPad, especially when the ecosystem catches up. Reply
steven75 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThe software ecosystem is everything. Ballmer said it himself in his famous sweaty developers, developers, developers rant.
Surface RT with it's sub 4,000 apps is up against the iPad with it's 250,000 apps.
No doubt out it, you get significantly more with the iPad, especially with the iPad 2 (and soon iPad mini) undercutting the Surface on price. Let's not kid ourselves, this thing has an iPad 2 class display at best. Reply
damianrobertjones - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThere's always MS Office.
Also out of those 250,000 apps which, if any, has any real use? (I'm sure that there's a few) Reply
name99 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkWhat REAL WORLD problem are you solving by buying a tablet with a really crappy keyboard and no mouse/trackpad (so no fine control) rather than buying a laptop?
To me this is like boasting how waterproof your toaster is. It may be waterproof indeed, but I don't have any need to make toast in the pool. Reply
kkwst2 - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkYou're comparing having a tablet with a (nearly) full version of Office to making toast in a pool? Wow.
Are you sure you're not ReallyBadAnalogyGuy?
250,000 apps, and I can't think of a single one that is more useful than a full version of Office. The real world problem is having a tablet that I can edit a colleague's manuscript, make some last minute changes to my presentation, or crunch my latest research results on in a pinch and still have a portable form factor that I can slip in a conference bag.
Does that usage model really sound so far fetched? They may have blurred the line between notebook and tablet a little better than anyone so far in my opinion (pending actual hands on of course).
Will I get one? I'll probably wait for something like the Surface Pro because I'll want access to things like Illustrator and Acro Pro. Also, I'm betting my work won't provide VPN software for it.
Will it catch on? I think it won't totally flop, but will certainly not put a dent in iOS tablets. If anything it will cannibalize Android tablet sales. Reply
inighthawki - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkNot to mention, the keyboard has a trackpad built in, and the touch cover has actual keys with feedback if you want that, too. So OK, it doesn't come with a full-sized mechanical keyboard, but neither does any other tablet or laptop. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThat's the point though, the more apps there are, the greater odds there are that the best developers will be on board and that the best apps will be available.
You can expect a distribution on any platform where 90%-95% of software won't be worth looking at for most people. 95% of 250k is far greater than 95% of 4k. Reply
Ammaross - Friday, October 19, 2012 - link"You can expect a distribution on any platform where 90%-95% of software won't be worth looking at for most people. 95% of 250k is far greater than 95% of 4k."
When 5000+ of those apps (not my number btw) are "fart apps," it's not hard to inflate numbers. Apple has decided to arbitrarily limit certain types of apps (fart apps, flashlight apps, etc) due to the flooded app store for those genres. They allowed it at first to be able to claim those large app count numbers, but now it's not as needed. I doubt those "4000" WinRT apps are fart apps. Reply
musicus - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkiPad >250'000 specially for iPad designed, among them many highly professional apps for hospitals, cartography for airlines, prof. music studio recording and editing etc...
MS Office will be on the iPad in spring 2013.
Windows RT: 4000 Apps...
Sorry, but these are the facts. MS comes 3 years late, which is not easy to catch up, even if the hardware is fine. It's the software that makes the difference! Reply
andrewaggb - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkI disagree. The most used apps on my ipad are hands down, safari and youtube. hours of use each day. Surface has these covered.
Then there is angry birds of various flavors and lately bad piggies that probably get played a couple times a day/week. Rovio claims windows 8 is on the list for angry birds star wars (Nov 8) (and presumably their other titles will come as well), so this should be handled as well. There are already some windows 8 games that my kids like. Plus with directx and c/c++, windows 8 will get games.
Other stuff like netflix and plex, catan, dominion, ticket to ride, magic the gathering etc. Netflix is now live for windows 8 and works well, the others have standard windows versions so there's a good chance they'll get windows 8 versions as well. Reply
andrewaggb - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkIt has a bit higher dpi than the ipad2, (and possibly better quality) but I suspect it will pale in comparision to the ipad 3. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkDownload Jasmine for iPad, far better than Google or Apple's Youtube apps, and only on iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jasmine-youtube-cl... Reply
rkcth - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkActually you can't program for Windows RT (this version of the surface) using C/C++. You have to use C#, managed directX to the best of my knowledge. Reply
mdonatas - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkQuote from wikipedia "WinRT supports development in C++/CX (Component Extensions, a language based on C++) and the managed languages C# and VB.NET, as well as JavaScript."
So C++ is supported. Reply
inighthawki - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkWhere on earth did you hear that from? Reply
name99 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkYou are making multiple assertions here
(a) Galaxy S3 ships at Amazon at $150 for entry level unit (ie with contract etc). That's not Apple level pricing., it's $50 below.
(b) Phones are sold by carriers, and are pushed by staff at the carrier stores. This is a well-known fact. Tablets don't "benefit" from this dynamic. So to project phone behavior onto tablet behavior is a mistake.
A better argument would be to discuss Note sales. Those, however, are complicated by fact that (so far) the main Note sales have been the small Notes, which sell in a market where Apple doesn't really (so far) compete.
So the only example that would actually validate your thesis would be sales of the Note 10.1. As far as I can tell, most reviewers considered this a disappointing device, and I have seen no impressive sales figures since its launch. Reply
damianrobertjones - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkI'm ok with the price(s) as the damn thing features office which, for me in the business world, beats the iPad hands down. Plus there's a real live USB port and expandable memory Reply
musicus - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkMS office for iOS: spring 2013. Thats official! Reply
ricardodawkins - Thursday, October 18, 2012 - linkWho made this official? ThePoison or www.engapple.com ? Reply
Alkapwn - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkI think people are missing the point of what Surface has the potential to be; especially when you start with the comparisons of existing product focus that the Android & iPads tablets currently have. Tablets in general are devices designed to consume media and information. They fail horribly in the production / office application areas where we still rely on our laptops and workstations to fulfill that capability. Surface, Pro specifically, has a very good chance with Windows 8 to break through that limitation. (I'm less eager and optimistic for RT for the same reasons.) This could be *huge* and I think it has the potential to make a bigger dent in the corporate sector than any Android or iOS device has to date. Reply
tdtran1025 - Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - linkThough I agree with your assessment of the marketing strategy, Surface may not fail at all. The interface is a bear for desktop use, but in the guise of a touch device, it flourishes; and with the hardcore Windows followers, Surface will no doubt pull along a few of them. This presents an interesting hypothetical scenario in which Android users will see some evidence of superiorty of Surface resulting from tighter hardware/software integration, a key factor Android lacks. Translating this into reality, I can see no compelling reason for Mac users to switch but some Android users are up for grab. In any eventuality, more competition makes for a better economic environment, I believe. Reply
Arbee - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkYeah, I think there's room for an iPad-priced Windows (or Android 4.1+) device if the display and materials are also iPad-quality. The Nexus 7 is really the only non-Apple tablet right now that doesn't scream "cheap" when you hold it. (Which is ironic, given it's price point). Reply
Zink - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThere are others, they are just more costly. The Asus Transformer Prime tablets are solid metal like an iPad and very sturdy. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linkHaha.
Yeah. Right. Thing is this. Microsoft is making the very same mistake as every Android device maker.
You can't charge the same as the market leader ($500) and expect to win. The market leader wins every time. It doesn't matter that there's slightly more flash. The app advantage is too huge. You have to charge less, offer more value, win marketshare and eventually find parity.
You don't get to have parity at the start when you have far fewer apps and are unproven. They'll learn when Windows RT devices begin to drop their prices, trying to find a market just like Android.
And they'll find their market... when they hit a price point truly reflective of their status as the OS with the least apps and the OS with the most to prove. Reply
chizow - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkI do think this device could be huge, the Microsoft name and OS lend instant credibility and stability in a sea of fledgling, unproven devices from countless hardware makers. I know a lot of people really like Android but the supported upgrade paths on the myriad hardware types is a complete nightmare. Microsoft automatically lends a calming hand to the situation by controlling both the hardware and associated software/OS updates.
It looks like they really put a lot of effort into the hardware design too which is great to see, but its really not all that surprising given all their recent success with the XBox 360 designs. Other than the D-pad on the 360 controller, its easily my favorite game controller of all time. MS also has a long track history of designing great peripherals; some of their Mouse designs are still preferred by many and their keyboards are pretty solid as well.
Personally, I will probably wait for the 2nd-gen Surface before taking the plunge to let them work out the bugs and improve the hardware, but if I were in the market for a laptop/tablet today, I would certainly consider buying one right now. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkI agree with most of the stuff you've said.
If the price starts around $300 like the previous rumor then I don't mind jumping on it the first week. But since it starts at $500, I'm going to wait and see. Probably get on to the second or third generation band wagon if it's proven with good records.
I did jump on Nexus 7, first gen product, totally against my usual product buying process, but then again, it's a 8GB $200 device, totally worth the try and so far it's rocking solid with Jelly 4.1.2. ;) Reply
jjj - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkrunning this kind of fluf now? you couuld at least label it as publicity. Reply
Zink - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkI agree that this article is not written correctly. The point of an objective review is to cut out the marketing crap, otherwise everyone is going to want flowery language to describe their new products and then what's the point of the article? If you are going to use their words it has to be in quotes. "most simple of inspirations" Reply
extide - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkIt's a news item in the pipeline... NOT an article or review! At least pay attention to what you are reading! Reply
karasaj - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThe title is "inside microsofts surface rt tablet" I don't know where you got "objective review" from that instead of inside the development process which is going to show Microsoft's own ideals/intentions for surface, but whatever makes you happy I guess. Reply
Zink - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkIt's a press release presented as a pipeline article. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkYeah, pretty much. This is the kind of article I expect at Dailytech, not from Anand. Reply
AdamChew - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkA5, you are spot on, this is beneath anandtech and this write up is an advertorial and nothing else.
I expected a tear down and nothing something like this which is exactly as the introduction if the Surface - no one is allowed to touch it. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkFinally something decent to read from Anand that's non-Apple related :)
Don't mind me, former Apple lover and current Apple hater here.

dagamer34 - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThe Surface RT makes me wonder which is more important compared to an iPad 3:having a display that's high resolution or optically bonded. My current 11" MacBook Air display is fine, but the viewing angles that come from a TN panel are atrocious and it has that grain look i've only seen disappear with high DPI displays... Reply
ananduser - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkResolution is good but not as good as Apple makes you think it is. The massive res of the ipad makes for a "paler" display as outlined by the Verge - Josh's hand looked like a dead man's hand due to the massive pixel density preventing some light to pass through. If this article is correct, the surface display will be of higher quality than the ipad's in every single way except resolution.
BTW I think the ipad is a gorgeous device and a sports a brilliant display. Reply

Spivonious - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkIs the panel in the Surface a TN panel? I haven't seen that anywhere. I'm assuming they'd use IPS. Reply

Like, for example, visit an Apple store and then a store selling Surface...

Personally I think if you make your display decisions based on comments you read on the internet rather than your own eyes, you deserve whatever you get. Reply

maximumGPU - Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - linki'm not convinced yet. Ipad 2 was 132 ppi, and that looked grainy and fuzzy next to the ipad 3. Surface is roughly around ~ 148 pi, so i'm not expecting great results.
and as mentioned in the post above, at that price point you'd expect better. Reply
craig0ry - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThis pricing strategy is a huge mistake. I was under the impression the idea here was to market a high-quality device sold at a loss in order to establish a market presence for Windows 8's app store.
The device is certainly of high quality, but the app ecosystem has Office and... that's it. Office is certainly a big plus - it is the selling point for me - but I don't think they're going to fly off the shelves.
At $100 cheaper, there is no question of the value proposition here. At this specific price point, I'm inclined to think twice before purchasing - not what you need consumers to be doing as you try to claw your way up in an established market.
Color me disappointed - I wanted to buy one at launch day. I'll still pick up the 32gb base model, but this announcement took a lot of the momentum away for me. Reply
Metaluna - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkThe idea of selling Surface at a loss is basically a non-starter for Microsoft. That might work for a completely proprietary product like the Xbox 360, but not for something that is meant to kickstart a broader Win8 tablet market. They would be cutting their own OEMs off at the knees, and possibly get themselves into anti-trust trouble again to boot. Reply
ssiu - Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - linkI'd really like to see some performance comparison, e.g.
-- compare Surface RT with Android tablet (preferably using same CPU/GPU) -- does Windows RT suck up more or less system resources than Android (or iOS)?
-- compare Windows RT with Windows 8 Atom tablets -- is Atom a bit faster than ARM CPU? is Windows 8 more bloated than Windows RT? what is the combined effect, do the same Mertr apps run at about the same speed? (I find early single-core Atom netbooks very very slow -- do Windows 8 on dual-core Atom really give acceptable performance?)
run some popular cross-platform apps and games on
-- iPad 2
-- new iPad
-- popular Android tablets
-- Windows RT tablet
-- Windows 8 Atom tablet
-- Widnows 8 Core i3/i5/i7 tablets
to compare performance etc. Hope to read about the results soon. Reply

(Actually I'm confused by that...will Windows 8 emulate Windows RT programs? Will it run programs created for Windows Phone 7 and 8?)
Without real Windows, the only "killer app" this has versus the iPad or Android tablets right now is Office. Admittedly that might be huge though, as Office solutions for both iOS and Android are beyond laughable, but...well, I'm more interested to see a $500-700ish AMD based Windows 8 tablet that can actually be used as a full PC and run games too...

After the brutal crackdown by Bashar al-Assad's troops on protesters in Syria over the weekend, William Hague was pleased to find the Russians scrapping their earlier reluctance to criticise the regime and join the growing global condemnation of Mr Assad.
His diplomats in New York will use the opportunity to try and push through once more a resolution that failed in June, condemning the violence. The resolution will be reworded to take into account this weekend's events.
But given Russia's complex political make-up, no one in the Foreign Office is taking anything for granted. One official warned: "It is not until we have sat in the meeting that we can get into how member states may be thinking." Read more

This isn't your run-of-the-mill anime. It has superb character growth, very unique characters and an amazing storyline that engrosses you. I've been watching this anime online for almost a decade now and it just keeps getting better and better, which is rare for any type of show. There will always be a place in my heart for Dragon Ball Z, but One Piece has constantly outdone itself time and time again. It has over 650 episodes and doesn't seem to have an end in sight. I bet this series will reach 1000 episodes. You have to watch it from the beginning to understand everything. It will be a bit boring and slow at times but it's worth investing your time into this series. I'll just tell you to go ahead and skip the Foxy Pirates episodes as they have nothing to do with the main storyline, just VERY BORING filler. Anyways, this is the highest rated anime in Japan and also has the best selling manga (comic book) of all time in Japan, surpassing DBZ. Attack on Titan is surpassing One Piece in manga sales so far this year, but for the past 8 or so years, One Piece claimed the top spot in both areas and sometimes had double the manga sales (or at least close to it) than 2nd place. It's really a great anime and an even better manga. This anime (and manga!) is definitely worth getting into and many, many people would agree. 10/10

For all those crying about how they drag this anime out you need to get over it or stop watching. They drag this out because if they didn't they would have to do another time skip with a hiatus in between they are only a few chapters behind the manga at this point. And honestly I'd rather they drag things out than give us mind numbingly awful filler like naruto or stuff it full of fan service like fairy tail. One piece is one of the longest running anime ever it's been on the air for more than a decade if it was as bad as all these QQers say it would be one of those 24 episode animes that never finish the story. I personally love this show and hope They continue it I want to see luffy kick some world government ass with sabo and dragon when he finds out what really happen in the void century.

I'm extremely amazed by how complex One Piece is. Lots of things that happen in the beginning/near middle are important (actual) years and hundreds of chapters/episodes later. I watched it when I was little and I thought it was just some fun stuff but now I see how deep it really is. Aside from the ocassional ridiculous stuff.

i always loved the anime, but at one point i couldnt wait to know what would happen next so i started reading the manga, i hated it because the manga looked very confusing, but after a while i started looking at the images with more ease and now i prefer the manga over the anime because the anime draggs itself in every possible way, from 25 minuts of openings and revisons, to long pauses of still images as to create suspense and just all means they could get to stall things from going much further as to not catch up with the manga, honestly that is pretty anoying. Get more people working on the manga and anime so we have more publications and we dont bore the people waiting

Absolutely love this Anime. The humour is absolutely brilliant, and the stories are really imaginative and intriguing. If you're on the fence give it a go, it really picks up after 5 or so episodes and doesn't falter. So far I'm on episode 425 and there has been minimal fillers as well.

I first tried OP after watching fairy tail, which is one of my favorite animes. I heard fairy tail manga creator uses references from OP which inspired the creation of fairy tail. So hey, I thought OP must be an amazing anime/manga to influence a great show that I love. I tried getting into OP and didn't like it that much. The old animation of the first episodes isn't eye catching the first episodes are a bit slow. I read somewhere online, you have to keep sticking with OP after 80 episodes where the animation gets better. By episode 150 and up you'll completely fall in love with the show. I guess I have to stick it out and see for myself.

Every year at Christmas I break out this recipe. We shared it here a few years back, but I wanted to share it again. I have a tendency to bake a lot of cookies for the holidays and I always include this one. Not only is it easy and quick, but it offers something that my other cookies often don't- a break from chocolate and decadence. These cookies certainly deliver on flavor, but the lightness of almond meal and the jam make them a pleasant diversion from the heavy holiday flavors.
These can easily be made dairy-free by substituting butter with soy margarine or shortening. I usually make these with whatever flavor of jam I have on hand and each one is delicious in its own way.
Strawberry Thumbprints
- ½ cup Butter*
- ½ cup Sugar
- 2 Tb Milk (Cow, Soy, Rice)
- 1 cup Unbleached White Flour
- ½ cup Almond Meal
- ¼ tsp Sea Salt
- ½ cup Strawberry Jam
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the milk and combine thoroughly. Mix together the flour, salt and almond meal. Add dry ingredients to wet, mix to combine. Form into one-inch balls. Place ¼ cup of additional Almond Meal in a bowl. Roll dough balls in the almond meal, covering the entire ball. Place on cookie sheet, flatten slightly with palm of hand and press hole in middle with your thumb. Put in ½ tsp jam in each hole. Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes. Makes one dozen cookies.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The sixth-ranked Saint Leo University women's soccer team held a resilient Lynn squad scoreless and earned a 1-0 Sunshine State Conference victory over the Fighting Knights on Sunday afternoon at University Field.
Saint Leo keeps their unbeaten streak alive, advancing to an overall mark of 10-0, and 3-0 in SSC play, while the Fighting Knights drop to 6-2-1, and 1-1-0 in conference action.
Squaring off against the Fighting Knights for the second time in 15 days, the Lions hunkered down and earned their third clean sheet of the season thanks to a steadfast defensive unit that held Lynn to just nine shots and four shots on target.
Laura Carstens had another big day between the posts, making four key saves and denying the Fighting Knights a victory for the second time this season thanks to smart play and solid direction. Her counterpart, Meghan Dolan, saw a total of 16 shots, seven of which were on frame, and made six saves while allowing one goal.
After a stalemate for the first 44 minutes of play, the Lions were finally able to break through and put a goal on the scoreboard. Cassie Barbaresi flicked the ball past Dolan from the right edge of the box, finding Jaime Smith in the middle for a solid shot directly on target. Smith's tally came with 52 seconds before the break, and allowed the Lions to enter into the half with a slim advantage.
The second stanza was another standoff. The Lions rattled off seven shots to Lynn's six in the final period, but neither team was able to capitalize on any of their offensive opportunities in the final 45 minutes of play.
The Saint Leo women's soccer team returns to action on Tuesday, October 4, when they travel to Nova Southeastern University. Kickoff against the Sharks is set for 5 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and information on the Lions, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Arizona Regional Medical Center in Apache Junction will join Banner Health, Arizona's largest and busiest health system. The hospital is anticipated to join Banner on May 15, pending Banner Health Board of Directors approval, and will be re-named in the coming months to identify it as a Banner hospital.
"We're extremely pleased to have this opportunity to expand Banner's non-profit mission of excellent patient care through this new facility," said Banner's Arizona East Region president Becky Kuhn. Banner Health was recently recognized as a 2013 Top 15 Health System in the nation for clinical excellence by Truven Health Analytics, formerly Thomson Reuters. There were 328 health systems across the nation evaluated for this recognition.
"Apache Junction residents can count on the collaboration and innovative processes and use of technologies that are the foundation of Banner's ability to provide industry-leading care," said Kuhn.
The 30-bed hospital, which currently has a major focus on cardiovascular care, will expand its focus to provide general hospital care. Banner is working to share details about these services with Apache Junction residents as soon as possible. The medical center will also serve as a gateway to Banner's array of specialized services.
"Wherever Banner has facilities, we offer care to serve the needs of a community, and we are very pleased to be able to meet the needs of people who live in Apache Junction," Kuhn stated. "We're also honored that the many outstanding employees of this hospital will be joining the Banner team," she added.

Last Minute Shopping?
I'm a serial planner--I can't help myself. Planning is usually just as much, if not more fun, than doing for me. I enjoy planning a vacation just as much as going on one. I come from a long line of planners and over-preparers. But somehow this year, after completing about 90% of my holiday shopping in October and November. I still have about 10% remaining, which includes gifts for some of the people closest to me.
The very thought of not having gifts selected and wrapped is enough to send my mind racing, with thoughts of hitting some of the major malls and traipsing about town all weekend. Fortunately, I work in Balboa Park, which is not only filled with incredible museums, but also incredible gift shops. If you see a slightly frazzled woman dashing through SDMA, Mingei and the MOPA Store this weekend, you'll know who it is.
Here's some video clips for inspiration:

Sexual health is influenced by a complex web of biological and social factors. It requires a positive, responsible approach to sexuality and sexual relationships as well as pleasurable, safe sexual experiences that are free from coercion, discrimination or violence.
The proposed indicators cover the following areas of sexual health: healthy sexuality, sexual dysfunction and sexual vulnerability, adolescent sexual health and sexual violence. The indicators range from process/activity (e.g. policy and services related) through outcome (e.g. behavior change) to impact indicators (e.g. prevalence of certain sexual health conditions in different populations).
In 2010, WHO convened an expert consultation on sexual health to make recommendations on strategic directions. One of the priorities was the development of sexuality counselling guidelines for health care providers. The guidelines would be used as a tool to facilitate the integration of counselling into health services, mainly in primary health care.

More Ag News
LINCOLN -- Melissa Keyes was giving a presentation about agriculture when a boy from Lincoln asked her, "What's a farm?"
Keyes' passion for "telling the story of agriculture" and correcting misinformation was what drove her to become an Agricultural Ambassador last year.
A special outreach of the National FFA Foundation, the Agricultural Ambassador program trains 20 students a year to give presentations on various agricultural topics. Students are selected from across the nation. Each of them gets a $1,000 scholarship for the year and gives up to 30 presentations to an array of audiences.
Jenna Genson, the adviser for the ambassadors through the National FFA Foundation, said the idea for the program started about 10 years ago.
"It was really spearheaded by two of our major sponsors who saw a need for more young people talking about (the agriculture industry)," Genson said. "These sponsors recognized how valuable it is to have non-employees sharing the message so it didn't seem like a company initiative or a sales pitch, per se."
The ambassadors give presentations to any group of any age, in both urban and rural settings. Mollie Wilken, a UNL senior who also served as an ambassador last year, said she learned to tweak her message based on her audience.
"If I was in rural areas, I mostly talked about being an advocate, because those people are usually more familiar with what's going on in the industry," Wilken said. "But in urban areas I talked more about production practices and why they're done the way that they are."
Wilken said one of the biggest misconceptions about agriculture production is that animals are treated poorly. Wilken, whose parents own a cattle feedlot, said her background made her particularly passionate about that topic.
"I wanted people to know that we respect animals more than anything; we make sure they're happy, we make sure they're healthy," Wilken said. "We ensure that they have a very good life and then when they're sent to the processing plant, there's not an inch of their body that isn't used for something."
Wilken also recalled someone asking her whether farmers keep the best meat for themselves and sell the rest to the general public.
"I had to assure him that we produce food that we ourselves are proud of and we would feed our own bodies and our own children," she said.
"But that was also one of the best parts about this opportunity, was being able to learn what the average consumer was thinking about agriculture," Wilken said. "I realized that the little things I thought were easy to understand were not, if you've never been exposed to the industry."
Genson said consumer awareness is a main goal of the presentations.
"Farmers and producers are basing their lives on this industry; what they do is not a secret," Genson said. "That's why we're sharing the story of agriculture; there's a lot of perceptions that farmers are hiding something when they're not. We try to create a presentation environment where people can ask questions that will be answered openly and honestly."
Keyes said one of her favorite parts of the program was working with kids from urban areas and opening their eyes to what it really means to be a farmer.
"I was at a school in Omaha with my sisters... some of (the students) asked if we have electricity, if we drive old cars, if we wear overalls. When they think of a farmer they think of a cartoon," Keyes said. "Then they see me and my sisters and we look like anybody else."
Informing kids is also a good way to inform parents, Keyes noted.
"When kids learn about something new, they're so excited and that was so cool to see," Keyes said. "And you know most of them are going to go home and talk to their parents about it and spread the message about agriculture."

Proposals to expand Social Security got more congressional support this week from Democrats who are apparently nervous about the mid-term 2014 elections, since some prognosticators predict that Republicans are likely to win enough seats to give them a winning majority in the U.S. Senate.
As the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense. So that could explain why Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Mark Begich, D-Alaska, yesterday announced a Social Security reform measure that expands the program, flying in the face of proposals from Republicans to reform Social Security by shrinking it.
The proposal from Murray and Begich is called the Retirement and Income Security Enhancements Act, or RAISE. Beginning in 2015, the RAISE Act would do four things:
Levy a 2 percent payroll tax rate on earnings over $400,000. The bill would also give these high earners Social Security credits for paying these taxes, which would raise their Social Security payments, although it is unclear by how much. Nancy Altman, co-director of Social Security Works, says, "There has been a principle from the beginning that the more you contribute, the higher your benefit. It sounds like they are keeping that principle."
Improve benefits for divorced people. Currently, a divorced spouse is only entitled to receive benefits under the former spouse's earnings if the couple were married for 10 years. Beginning in 2016, this proposal would phase in eligibility for those married from five to 10 years. For example, those married nine years would get 90 percent of benefits. The same formula would apply to survivors benefits for divorced spouses.
Enhance survivor benefits when both spouses are eligible for workers benefits. This alternative benefit calculation would equal 75 percent of the sum of the survivor's own worker benefit plus the Primary Insurance Amount, or PIA, of the deceased spouse. It would be paid only if it were greater than what the current calculation would pay. This benefit would be available to surviving spouses on the rolls at the beginning of 2016 and those becoming eligible after 2016.
Extend benefits for young adults. Under current law, children of retired, disabled or deceased workers are no longer eligible for benefits after age 18, or 19 if they are still in high school. Beginning in 2016, this provision would extend benefits to full-time students until age 23.
Altman thinks that even though this proposal doesn't resolve Social Security's shortfall -- it only keeps the program solvent through 2034, an extra year -- it could win support across the aisle. "Expanding Social Security is both good policy given the squeeze on middle-class families, and it is also good politics because Tea Party members support Social Security the same way that union members support Social Security. Issues like abortion and gun control polarize the nation, but polls show that 70 or 80 percent of people support Social Security, and it is more important than ever."

A coroner has cleared an expedition company of "neglect" in respect of its responsibility to protect a Wiltshire schoolboy mauled to death by a polar bear.
Ian Singleton, assistant coroner for Wiltshire and Swindon, returned a narrative verdict at the conclusion of a five-day inquest into the death of Horatio Chapple, an Eton pupil who died on an adventure holiday to the remote Svalbard islands in August 2011 with the British Schools Exploring Society (BSES) - now the British Exploring Society (BES).
The coroner found that although the group were missing items of equipment including parts of the tripwire alert system, BSES had not acted with "neglect".
He said: "I do not find that neglect is appropriate to be considered, as failure (by BSES) was not total or complete."
The teenager, from Salisbury, was sleeping in his tent when the bear went on the rampage, inflicting fatal injuries to his head and upper body on the morning of August 5.
Four others were hurt before the bear was shot dead at the camp site where the group, known as Chanzin Fire, had been staying.
Also injured during the incident were trip leader Michael "Spike" Reid, from Plymouth, Devon, Andrew Ruck, from Brighton, Patrick Flinders, from Jersey, and Scott Bennell-Smith, from St Mellion in Cornwall.
In his narrative verdict, Mr Singleton said: "On the 5th August 2011, Horatio Chapple was in a tent on a snow bridge near to the Von Post Glacier in Svalbard, Norway, as part of an expedition.
"A polar bear was able to enter the camp shortly before 7.30am undetected as the tripwire alarm system around the perimeter of the camp had failed to activate due to a supporting post more likely than not being knocked over by the bear which caused the cartridge to move or fall out of the mine without it detonating.
"Horatio emerged from his tent and was in the act of standing up when the bear reared up and slammed down on him with its paws pushing Horatio to the ground where the bear then mauled his head, face and neck causing the injury which lead to Horatio's death.
"At the time of the attack the polar bear was 24 years of age, hungry and in pain from bad teeth which more likely than not made it more aggressive and unpredictable."
The Salisbury inquest heard that the tripwire system provided by BSES worked "inconsistently" and had missing parts meaning it had to be set up in triangle shapes rather than the expected larger rectangles and that group members had modified the triggering mechanism using paper clips.
Also, the inquest was told that the group members were also expected to be kitted out with pen flares to scare off a bear but there were insufficient available and were only distributed with the group leaders.
The hearing was also told that Mr Reid attempted to shoot the bear with the group's Mauser 98K but his first attempts were unsuccessful because of the safety catch mechanism which ejected the rounds rather than fired them.
Mr Reid was praised for managing to shoot the bear after reloading the rifle after he himself had been attacked and seriously injured.
In his ruling Mr Singleton said that he believed the modifications made to the tripwire had improved the system.
He said: "I find it more likely than not the tripwire system was improved following the modifications.
"I find, having the benefit of hearing from both the leaders and members of the Fire, it's more likely than not they had been tested successfully."
He added that a tripwire system was not "100% foolproof" and said he believed the bear had hit one of the posts causing a loss of tension leading to the mines failing to fire.
He said: "On balance of probabilities I find that the corner post had been knocked down by the polar bear on entering the camp as the remaining two posts were still upright."
Mr Singleton said that the use of a tripwire system instead of a bear watch was compliant with Norwegian law.
He also ruled that the distribution of pen flares to the group members could not have helped Horatio as they were not designed for use in close range and would have taken 20 seconds or more to assemble and would not have been usable in the circumstances.
Mr Singleton ruled that Horatio had received fatal injuries immediately from his contact with the bear and Mr Reid could not have saved his life if he had managed to fire the rifle on his first attempt.
He said: "I find it more likely than not from the evidence at the scene and the findings of the post-mortem report that Horatio had received extensive injuries described in the post-mortem report which were incompatible with life."
He added: "The failure of Michael Reid to fire the rifle was not a contributing factor to Horatio's death."
Mr Singleton also ruled that the rifle was probably in the safety catch position when Mr Reid first tried to fire it.
The coroner described how a post-mortem examination of the bear found it was elderly, at about 24 years, and had worn down teeth which could have led to it being "stressed, aggressive and more unpredictable" than a younger bear.
He said: "I find that on balance of predictability that the behaviour of the bear was more aggressive and unpredictable than the majority of younger bears that were encountered in Svalbard."
Mr Singleton had adjourned the hearing after listening to legal submissions, including from Lizanne Gumbel QC, representing the Chapple family.
Ms Gumbel, in submissions, told the coroner Horatio's parents, GP Olivia and surgeon David Chapple, wished him to consider the issue of "neglect" in his conclusion.
The couple, as well as Horatio's grandfather, Field Marshal Sir John Chapple, former Army Chief of the General Staff and himself a president of the BSES, have attended all of the week-long inquest.
During the inquest, Ms Gumbel criticised BSES for providing "unsafe" equipment, particularly the tripwire system which had missing parts and had been modified using paper clips by the expedition group.
The tripwire failed to go off prior to the bear attack although the expedition leaders pointed out during the hearing that Norwegian police had suggested this was caused by the bear knocking the post over rather than not triggering the wire.
Ms Gumbel said the tripwire system was designed to protect chickens from foxes, not a campsite from a polar bear.
She said: "The fact that this child Horatio was in a campsite which was not protected was down to the society (BSES).
"The equipment that was sent out was not the suitable type of equipment in the first place."
In an independent report into the bear attack by High Court judge Sir David Steel, commissioned by BSES, he criticised the society for its reliance on the tripwire system.
He said that a bear watch should be used instead and also called for an overhaul of rifle training.
Sir David concluded: "In future a bear watch must become the norm for expeditions to Svalbard. There needs to be complete review of available tripwire systems but they should be treated only as a secondary protection device. There needs to be a rigorous upgrade of rifle training."
Mr Singleton said that he would not be preparing his own list of recommendations as he believed Sir David's suggestions and BES' implementation of them was sufficient.
He said: "I do not believe it is necessary for me to make such a report on this occasion."
Lieutenant General Peter Pearson, who is executive director of the BES, said that the organisation had adopted all of the recommendations made by Sir David in his report.
He added that he had accepted that the equipment was unsatisfactory and explained that the BES was working with a company to build a new system which was being trialled in Greenland.
Mr Pearson said: "In principle, we have accepted in the future it will be safer if there is a wire and a bear watch."
He added: "This is not a fly-by-night organisation, we tasked a High Court judge to carry out an independent inquiry which was not required, we are absolutely an open book."
The inquest previously heard the polar bear which killed Horatio was elderly and had been suffering from worn-down teeth, which would have led to it becoming stressed and behaving "more aggressively and unpredictably".
Mr Singleton said a post-mortem examination of the bear's mouth found worn down teeth caused by bad alignment, a cavity, swollen and red gums and peritonitis in several teeth.
"It's probable it affected the bear's ability to gain food and if the bear is in pain it would have increased levels of stress causing it to behave more aggressively and unpredictably than it would otherwise," he said.
Examination of the teeth showed the bear was around 24 years old, while the independent report produced by Sir David said it weighed 250kg, rather than the typical 400kg.
Horatio's parents said that they hoped new safety standards would be made mandatory to ensure future expedition groups were fully protected and to prevent further tragedies.
They also said they took comfort in their belief that Horatio's "courageous actions" may have distracted the bear and prevented other members of the group being killed.
The family called for BS8848, the British Standard for organising expeditions outside the UK which was first drafted in 2007 with a revised version released this April, to be made into law.
They said: "We hope now that the British Standard 8848 will become mandatory to protect other children like Horatio, who want to explore the world.
"These sensible guidelines were developed for organisations taking children on adventurous activities abroad, so that any parent handing their child into the care of a provider can be assured that the venture has been professionally planned and managed."
The Chapple family also called on parents to ensure they inspect expedition companies before sending their children abroad.
She said: "We would urge parents to question the organisations who may be taking responsibility for the lives of their children. Ask the uncomfortable questions and only trust if you are completely satisfied with the answers."
They added: "Our solace is the 17 years of love, kindness and courage, which Horatio gave to so many of us.
"In Horatio's memory we are creating a legacy of beautiful therapy gardens in spinal injury centres, for people whose lives have been devastated by injury.
"The first Horatio's Garden was opened at the Duke of Cornwall Spinal Treatment Centre in Salisbury in 2012 and the charity Horatio's Garden is now raising money for further gardens around the UK to plant hope for people living with paralysis."
The family also described the version of events which they understand from the evidence given at the inquest including that Horatio may have helped prevent others from being killed.
They said: "Anyone listening to the evidence during this inquest will understand our sorrow at the nature of Horatio's death and the terrible ordeal experienced by all those on the trip.
"From the accounts we have heard, we take some small comfort from the fact that Horatio's courageous actions may have distracted the bear, preventing others from being killed.
"From the evidence, we have been able to establish the sequence of events.
"The morning of the attack the weather was clear and visibility good. The bear would have been attracted to the sleeping campsite by unusual smells and seen the tents as large walrus-sized shapes.
"The bear circled the near tent and probed the outer material with its paws and mouth waking Horatio and his two younger companions.
"They were unsure of what was happening and the rest of the camp was deeply asleep. On realising that it was a bear pawing and shaking their tent, Horatio and his companions started shouting 'bear'. These shouts woke some of the other tents, but there was no verbal reply from the leaders.
"After several seconds of shouting with no reply, Horatio tried to get out of his tent. The bear attacked him as he was trying to stand. In the attack, the bear collapsed the tent over the other two who then remained still and quiet.
"Horatio managed to stand despite severe wounds to his head and was seen by witnesses facing the bear, confronting the bear with all that he had, his screaming voice, his empty hands and raised arms.
"At this point, Horatio's best chance would be that the leader could save him by shooting the bear with the only gun available.
"The gun, a Mauser 98K, was stored in the leaders' tent with the trigger released on an empty chamber. In this state the safety catch cannot be moved. The leader picked up the gun then worked the bolt, which chambered a round.
"The mechanism of this type of gun only allows the safety catch to be moved from the left to the fire position at this point. If not moved round, the bolt can be worked but the trigger mechanism is still locked. So when the leader took aim, the bullet did not release. In all, the leader aimed four times but with the safety catch still in position, he was forced to eject each round.
"During this attempt to use the rifle, the polar bear rose onto its hind legs to its full height of nearly four metres (11 feet) and then came down onto Horatio knocking him to the ground and continuing to attack him.
"The bear then moved to attack the leader who dropped the gun with the bolt open. Another Young Explorer retrieved the gun and managed to enter the leaders' tent. Putting the gun down inside, he then searched but could not find the hidden spare ammunition. The leader returned to the tent, saw the gun and reloaded it with one of the previous rounds that had fallen to the ground.
"Once the bolt was closed the safety catch mechanics allowed it to be moved on one more position to the far left finally allowing the trigger to be released. So the bullet fired and the bear was killed."
Edward Watson, BES chairman, said in a statement: "The society does not intend to make any statement regarding the outcome of the inquest at this stage.
"Again may I express our deepest sympathy to the Chapple family."

30 Must-Hear SXSW Artists
March Madness is coming. Hell, if you define "madness" as games between Detroit and Valparaiso, it's already here. Which is why it's time to talk college basketball. And more importantly, your office bracket. We turned to Erin Andrews, ESPN star sideline reporter, for the following insights on all of the conference-championship action (she'll be working the ACC Tournament) and her thoughts on the Big Dance. With any luck, you might actually beat the office secretary this year. But probably not.
—Shawn Donnelly
I probably saw only five or six games in person, because that's all I could do right after football, but it's been an interesting year. Listening to Jay Bilas and the College GameDay guys, I think college basketball is down a little. Not really the basketball that they had anticipated. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the games that we did in person this year, and it's going to be a great Championship Week.

FULLERTON – Cal Sate Fullerton had not lost at home in 13 games, dating to last season. They had been virtually unbeatable lately at Titan Gym and were looking forward to returning home after a rough two-game trip.
But not even a return to Titan Gym could erase the Titans' bad habits of blowing double-digit leads. It has happened three times on the road already this season and again Thursday in a 72-70 nonconference loss to Cal State Bakersfield.
A series of mistakes and a strong second-half effort by Bakersfield ruined what should have been a pleasant homecoming for the Titans (3-5).
CSF looked invincible in building a 14-point halftime lead – similar to games at Nevada, Washington and Eastern Washington. Like those previous games, the Titans faltered after the break and the Roadrunners outscored Fullerton, 15-7, in the final 10 minutes to seal the victory in front of 708.
"I think our guys stopped playing together, stopped playing defense," Fullerton interim coach Andy Newman said.
Newman said there were few positives in the close loss.
"Maybe they could change the rules and make the games only 29 minutes long. That would be a positive," he said. "It's hard to find a positive after giving up a 14-point lead."
Fullerton's downfall started when the Roadrunners opened the second half with a 13-4 run to trim that 14-point halftime deficit to 54-51. Newman called for the Titans to abandon their high-energy offense, but that didn't help them much. Bakersfield (2-5) repeatedly shut down the middle, forcing the Titans to shoot from outside. Fullerton made just 9 of 27 3-pointers and shot 38.2 percent from the field overall.
"It's hard to run when you're getting scored on all the time," Newman said. "We tried to slow the game down and make it possession-by-possession, so we could rebound the ball a little more instead of get it and go.
"They out-toughed us tonight."
The game got testy with 8:24 left when Bakersfield's Corey Hall and Fullerton's Alex Harris got into a brief skirmish in front of the Titans' bench that knocked referee Michael Greenstein to the floor. After a lengthy delay to check the replays, reserves Steven McClellan and Chris Collins were ejected for leaving the bench.
Fullerton suddenly had difficulty getting the ball inside to its post players and Bakersfield took advantage to further chip away at the lead. The Roadrunners used an 11-3 run to take a 68-66 lead with less than a minute to play. Adam Young scored on a layup to give Bakersfield its first lead since early in the game.
The Titans were led by Kwame Vaughn's 22 points and six rebounds. D.J. Seeley and Alex Harris each added 14 points. Stephon Carter led Bakersfield with 20 points.

Save time and money earning both bachelor's and master's degrees in only 4 years at SMWC
October 23rd, 2012 | SMWC
3+1 students earn their bachelor's in accounting, business administration, human resource management or marketing and their Master of Leadership Development in four years.
Imagine walking down the aisle at graduation and receiving two degrees at once. Holding a bachelor's degree in one hand, you accept your master's with the other. Now imagine doing all of this in only four years. Set to launch in fall 2013, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College's (SMWC) new 3+1 Leadership Development program focuses on the rapidly changing business world by combining comprehensive business, technology and leadership skills. Graduating with greater knowledge and more experience in less time creates more marketable graduates, ready to make a positive difference in any organization.
"This is a pivotal opportunity that will focus on leadership, entrepreneurship, technology and team projects," explained Jennie Mitchell, Ph.D., SMWC professor of business and one of the program creators. 3+1 is an accelerated program combining three years of undergraduate study in accounting, business administration, human resource management or marketing, with one year in the College's distinguished Master of Leadership Development (MLD) program.
"Employers recognize that an MLD graduate brings something different, something innovative, to the table," MLD Director and SMWC Associate Professor Susan Decker said. "Using specialized techniques and creative leadership, our graduates stand out from the MBA group."
This highly selective program is geared toward students excited by challenging academic opportunities. 3+1 combines SMWC's rigorous honors curriculum with a digital emphasis, so students can develop team-building skills and technological expertise that will solve real-world problems. Undergraduate students will collaborate with full-time business faculty, most of whom have owned or currently own their own businesses. They will also have access to exclusive internships and supplemental learning opportunities, as well as workshops with current MLD students.
"Our MLD students, coming from renowned national organizations like Eli Lilly and General Electric, are already accomplished professionals in their fields," Decker said. "Through their skills, expertise and experiences, they will provide unique guidance and encouragement to the 3+1 students." Intertwining leadership, technology and liberal arts, 3+1 allows students to discover and develop their own unique strengths.
"Leadership is built on team playing," remarked Mitchell. "It is not about the loudest voice in the room. It is important to find individual talents in the team and create synergy." The benefits of the program start from day one. Students will save time and money, as well as graduate with honors. Then they will transition seamlessly, without needing scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), into MLD, where they can focus on not-for-profit leadership, organizational leadership, financial leadership or an individualized path.
Entering the job market sooner, 3+1 graduates will have the ability to inspire others and handle the pressures of the fast-paced business world. "Most students take an average of seven years to complete both their bachelor's and master's degrees," Decker said. "But, by utilizing SMWC's innovative online format and challenging honors curriculum, these students will finish both degrees in only four years. We're one of only a handful of colleges out there that can provide a high-quality education in a fast-paced format."
The planning and implementation of SMWC's 3+1 Leadership Development program was funded by a $25,000 grant from the Independent Colleges of Indiana Ball Venture Fund, the third grant SMWC has received from the organization in four years. In 2009, a Ball Venture grant funded the startup of the College's virtual academic support team, and in 2010 the grant helped form the virtual social media marketing internship.

• claptrap •
Pronunciation: klæp-træp • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. Empty, pompous and pretentious drivel designed to gain approval. 2. Nonsense (babble, balderdash, baloney, blather, blatherskite, bunkum, drivel, garbage, hogwash, hooey, idiocy, malarkey, piffle, poppycock, rigmarole, rubbish, tommyrot, twaddle).
Notes: Today's Good Word is a bit on the slangy side and probably should be limited to conversation and informal writing. In its first sense it may be used in the plural, as in claptraps like 'God bless America', 'God save the queen', and 'lower taxes'. In the second sense it is a mass noun with no plural.
In Play: It would be a beautiful world if claptraps were flowers, for we find them all around us every day: "When the Buncombe boys were found guilty of killing their parents, they offered the judge some claptrap about being orphans to get a lighter sentence." This is the first sense of claptrap. Today the word more often refers to sheer nonsense, as in the second meaning above: "The airwaves today are filled with mindless political claptrap."
Word History: Today's Good Word comes to us from the theater where, in early 18th century England a clap trap was a cheap, showy line guaranteed to 'trap a clap' from the audience. The word claptrap went on to refer to any line guaranteed to generate applause or appreciation, such as "Britannia rules the waves". Finally, it came to mean any kind of nonsense or rubbish. Be careful not to confuse claptraps with the slapstick of 'slapstick' comedy. Slapstick originally referred to a thin, flat board with a handle and another shorter flat board attached to it by piece of cloth or leather so that it slaps the first board, making any blow with it sound much louder and worse than it is.
