Queens provided a springboard for a career spanning the globe
As a Queens student in the 1990s, Elizabeth Drachman knew she wanted to keep people informed about their world.
As a communication major she took advantage of every opportunity to learn and to leverage her education for the work she'd do after graduation. Solid instruction on writing and editing and help landing two internships at The Charlotte Observer prepared her for a career in journalism.
The biggest benefit Queens offered, she says, was its size.
"I was able to really get to know my professors," she said. "I didn't feel like (just) a number."
The accessibility of the faculty not only made Drachman feel at home at Queens -- it also produced practical benefits. Through one professor's contacts, she won the internships at the Observer, the Carolinas' largest newspaper. And from there, she got her first job as a reporter in Concord.
She later moved on to editing positions at Atlanta Business Chronicle in her hometown, and at San Francisco Business Times.
Then her life and career took a dramatic turn. After 9/11, she and her husband, also a journalist, decided they wanted to write about more serious subjects. "There were much more important stories than dot-com millionaires," she said.
So they moved to Cairo, Egypt, where Drachman covered the inefficiencies and frustrations of doing business in a third-world country, and the "brain drain" loss of talent to America and Great Britain.
From there, they moved to Dubai in the Persian Gulf, and Drachman covered stories of corruption, poor government oversight of building and financial standards, and slave labor in the construction industry.
The couple's time overseas gave them fulfillment and insight into life outside America, but they returned to the United States in 2006 after Drachman had a son and they desired a more stable place in which to raise him. Still devoted to her profession, she took a job as managing editor at the Washington Business Journal in Washington, D.C.
Today, Drachman stays true to her calling and to her alma mater. As a former member of the women's soccer team at Queens, she participates in the annual soccer homecoming weekend, and jokes about playing in a "humiliating" scrimmage game against the current Royals. She also talks to groups of incoming Queens freshmen to help them know what to expect in their first year.
Drachman says she makes a point of emphasizing the value of Queens' size."Most people I know went to big schools," she said. "I don't regret the decision to go to a small school at all. The relationships you build in a small school make it that much greater."

Invererne, previously Tannachy, is an estate near Forres in Moray, Scotland. It was purchased from the nearby Abbey of Kinloss in 1574 by Robert Tulloch, who became the first Laird of Tannachy. The seventh Laird, Alexander Tulloch, sold the estate in 1772 to Alexander Urquhart for £101 18s 1d. (approx £1.8m in 2010)
It was sold in 1817 to General William Grant who built what is now called "invererne House", a category A listed building. After his death in 1832 the estate was sold to Colonel Peter Grant who married Mary Anne Peterkin of Grange, taking the name Grant Peterkin. The name of the property was changed from Tannachy to Invererne by 1834. [1]
It was shown on this map of Western Moray in 1590.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/9/2012 (1805 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. -- Liberal mischief-makers set a political cat loose among the NDP pigeons Thursday, forcing opposition New Democrats to defend their position a bare-majority Yes vote would be enough to trigger talks on Quebec leaving Canada.
NDP MPs gathered for the final day of their caucus retreat in St. John's found themselves facing questions about a a media report that said the Liberals were contemplating a motion asking Parliament to reaffirm its support for the Clarity Act.
The act stipulates the federal government would require a "clear" majority to vote in support of a clear referendum question on Quebec independence before it would consider negotiating the terms of a divorce.
The NDP supported the Clarity Act when it was introduced in 1999 by the Liberal government of Jean Chrétien, in response to the country's near-death experience in the 1995 Quebec referendum.
However, the NDP adopted its own policy on Quebec in 2005 -- the Sherbrooke declaration -- which Liberals believe is inconsistent with the act.
It says, among other things, the NDP would regard a vote of 50 per cent plus one to be sufficiently clear to trigger secession talks.
Few federal politicians believe there will be another referendum on Quebec's future any time soon, given the Parti Québécois received such a weak mandate in Tuesday's provincial election. A Liberal motion, if any, would do little beyond sow dissension in NDP ranks and raise doubts among Canadians outside Quebec about the NDP's commitment to national unity.
One Liberal MP, who spoke anonymously, confirmed some Liberals want to flush NDP Leader Tom Mulcair "out of the bushes or make him browbeat his own caucus into submission" on the issue.
Other Liberals fear the move could stoke near-dormant separatist fires and backfire on the party, which likes to portray itself as the party of national unity.
Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae said seeking parliamentary reaffirmation of support for the Clarity Act is "a matter for consideration" but it was not discussed during the party's three-day caucus retreat in Montebello, Que.
Nevertheless, he took the opportunity to jab at the NDP's alleged confusion on the subject.
"I don't know what the position of the NDP currently is on that," Rae told reporters at the conclusion of the caucus retreat.
"The Sherbrooke declaration that they've talked about clearly doesn't speak to it, seems to go against it.
"There are some current members of the NDP in the House who voted in favour of the Clarity Act and I don't know where Mr. Mulcair and others stand.
"But I know where we stand very clearly."

Left Behind: The TV Series was a project planned by Cloud Ten Pictures, for airing on the PAX Television network in the United States.
While NBC (one of PAX's partners) wanted to tell the story as it was written in the Left Behind novels, Cloud Ten Pictures wanted to make the TV series a The West Wing type series, set in the Left Behind universe. Because The West Wing was so popular at the time, NBC rejected Cloud Ten's idea. Cloud Ten Pictures made an attempt to move ahead with the project, going so far as to continue a national casting call in major US cities. By the time Left Behind: World at War was released in the fall of 2005, all references to the planned television series was removed from Cloud Ten's official website. As of July 2006, the idea had apparently been abandoned.

SOME Singapore travel agents are expecting a short-term drop in bookings to Australia and New Zealand due to the ash cloud from the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano in Chile, as airlines plying the routes between the three countries continue to see service disruptions.
Alica Seah, senior vice president (marketing & public relations), CTC Travel, said: "Some of our tour groups as well as independent travellers have been affected by the ash cloud. It will take about a week or so for us to gain a clearer grasp of the situation, but we expect that new bookings will not be made in the next two weeks."
Margaret Low, managing director, Airelated Travel, said: "More than a week ago, we had a couple of enquiries, but none of them have turned into actual bookings. There have been zero bookings since the ash cloud, and travellers seem to be adopting a wait-and-see attitude."
Singapore Airlines (SIA) was today forced to divert its SQ297 Singapore-Christchurch flight to Auckland. The return flight, SQ298 from Christchurch to Singapore, was also unable to operate as planned.
SIA said in a statement on its website that accommodation has been arranged for affected customers in both Auckland and Christchurch.
The airline added: "At this time, all other flights to and from New Zealand and Australia are operating."
Qantas' services to and from New Zealand were non-operational today. The airline said in a statement on its website that its New Zealand operations for June 17 would be confirmed by this evening.
Aside from a few cancelled flights due to the ongoing disruptions across its network, the majority of Qantas' domestic (Australian) services were operating as scheduled, and are due to operate as per normal on June 17 and 18.
Jetstar's services between Singapore and Auckland, which were cancelled earlier today, have now resumed, with their first flight leaving from Singapore this evening.
The low-cost carrier's Perth-Singapore flights are operating as planned.
All the carrier's domestic (Australian) services are running as per normal, and no changes are expected tomorrow.

Banoffee Pie
Recipe by Ladderman229
This is a different version of Banana Cream Pie. The name comes from the bananas and toffee. I think you'll like this.
Top Review by Tinkerbell
Oh, there's a story for this one. First, I chose this recipe because Banofee Pie is mentioned in a movie that I love ("Love Actually"), & I always wondered what it was. After reading the ingredient list I was delighted! Afterall, how bad can bananas, toffee & whipped cream go?! Well, my family is convinced that this is indeed a fireman's recipe because I nearly ended up with the local department knocking at my door! After boiling the cans of sweetened condensed milk for about 2 hours, I needed to add water. I added water (no problem there, I'm good at that.), then turned up the heat to bring it back to a boil. In the meantime I realized I needed to get ready to start my PAC Hosting shift. An hour & a half later, with my toddler sleeping in my lap while I hosted, I heard 6 very loud "BANG!"s from the kitchen. As we ran to the kitchen I could smell something burning, the pot on the stove was making an evil hissing sound & when I reached it I could see the three cans were puffed out on both ends into big barrel shapes & the pot was bone dry! Ugh. My best dutch oven (Breast Cancer Pink edition - only replaceable by buying the whole set again), has 3 large black circles in the bottom. Hmm, too bad they don't look like the face of Elvis... Well, it wasn't enough to make me give up now, 3-3/4 hours into it. So, I cooled the cans & spent a good 30 minutes trying to get them open. One can was impossible to crack, but I did manage to get the other two open enough to scoop out the non-blackened toffee parts (mostly just the middle areas) & decided that I'd use what I had & just make one pie instead of two. I left the amounts of everything else the same as is written. Luckily, my family & a friend we'd invited for dinner have a whole lot of faith in my cooking & were game to try the finished product. I didn't have much hope & figured I'd be making it again before reviewing it, but everyone loved it. Couldn't taste any burnt taste, loved the bananas & the toffee together, & loved the instant coffee (French Vanilla Cafe) flavored whipped cream. We'll be making this again & will probably double the bananas again too. I'm only posting the whole pie photo, as the cut piece looks like a whip cream pie at a pie throwing contest, with the double cream & all. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Ladderman! Made, learned from, enjoyed & reviewed for Pick-A-Chef Spring 2008.

The risk factor are the 30 magnets that the tablet uses for its Smart Covers. Those magnets might interfere with implanted defibrillators used to send an electric shock to the heart for people with a medical condition. The defibrillators are designed to be turned off by magnets and while the 30 magnets in the iPad 2 are not powerful enough to interfere when you just hold the device in front of you, falling asleep with the tablet on your chest might actually turn off the defibrillator and lead to fatal consequences.
What's interesting about this discovery is that it comes as a result of a research conducted by 14-year-old Gianna Chien. The teenage girl made the research as part of science fair project and could not even win the first place with the important discovery.
Apple spokespeople declined to comment referring users back to Apple's online product guide that warns that people with pacemakers should keep the iPad at least six inches away to be perfectly safe from electro-magnetic interference.
In patient tests for the study 30% of pacemakers turned off when the iPad 2 was held against their chest. Cardiac electrophysiologist Walter Chien helped his daughter with the patient testing.
And while tests were done with the iPad, this would be true for other devices with many magnets as well. Some pacemakers would turn back on when the magnet is put away, but others would not.
"I don't think anyone really knows about the risks," Gianna Chien said. She made the study after seeing many elderly people buying iPads.
"Defibrillator patients can still buy Apple products," the older Chien said. "Just don't put them on your chest."

I had my back, bra roll, and hips smart lipo'ed two weeks ago. So far everything has been healing nicely. HOWEVER my bra roll is slightly larger on my right side versus my left. No other areas that were worked on are uneven. A total of 3 liters of fat was removed. I was not uneven before so i am wondering if this is due to healing or liquid swelling or if its the result I'm left with. I noticed the assymetry in the bra roll just a few hours AFTER the lipo procedure and so far it has just gone down with minimal results. :\

I talked to a customer service rep a while back about my options for upgrading my phone, even though I'm not eligible for an upgrade... she told me about the certified pre-owned replacement program, but said that it had to be done over the phone or to visit a store.
So my wife and I just went to a local store earlier this evening and asked one of the reps about it. He said (and verified with the manager there) that we can order them online from home. That we just order the certified pre-owned phones, which would essentially begin a new 2-year contract from that date, but that it doesn't use your upgrade.
So I asked, for example... my wife is due for an upgrade in July. If we ordered a certified pre-owned phone for her, she would begin a new 2-year contract, but would still be eligible for a NEW upgrade in July. He said yes.
Now, I cannot figure out how to actually order these phones. If I'm signed into my account, the only option is to pay full retail price to upgrade the line... or to add a new line, in which case you can get the discounted pricing. However, I'm not seeing how we can get certified pre-owned phones at the discounted price without adding new lines.
Again, the service rep I spoke to on the phone before said it cannot be done online... the guy I talked to today said it can.
Certified Pre-Owned Replacement devices are available to existing Verizon Wireless customers who meet eligibility requirements, and can be ordered through Verizon Wireless retail stores or through Customer Service at (800) 922-0204. Certified Pre-Owned Replacement devices available through this program are not sold online.

Thanks for the quick response, but I saw that too... was just wondering who was wrong and who was right.
Anyway... was the guy at the store at least right about it not counting for an upgrade? According to him, getting the certified pre-owned phone began a new 2-year contract, though your previous upgrade status/date remained the same... and that we could get them at the 2-year contract price.
Is anything he told me correct? lol

Well it is according to what you read on the CPO site. It used to be it did not extend your contract, but if you read all the CPO pages, there IS mention of an extension.
4. Re: Certified Pre-OwnedSuzyQ Jan 8, 2011 1:48 AM (in response to budone)
I can understand your confusion . . . I'M confused too! The way I'm reading things is this:
CPO devices are available, and do not extend your contract, if you meet the following criteria:
- If your device is lost, stolen or damaged and you are not enrolled in Total Equipment Coverage or Wireless Phone Protection, you can purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Replacement device to replace your original device.
- If your device experiences a defect after the manufacturer's warranty has expired and you are not enrolled in Total Equipment Coverage or Extended Warranty, you can purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Replacement device to replace your original device.
- There is a limit of one Certified Pre-Owned Replacement device per mobile number every 12 months.
These cannot be purchased online - you have to deal with Customer service on the phone or in a store to get a CPO device under these circumstances, at a discount, and NOT extend your contract.
Further on, it mentions "Certified Pre-Owned devices are now available with new two-year or one-year agreements for eligible customers." These, I believe, are the phones you see online, labeled CPO, and the eligibility refers to your upgrade eligibility. If you are eligible for an upgrade, you can purchase a brand new device at discounted pricing, or choose a CPO at an even greater savings. This WILL result in a one or two year contract extension. If you are NOT eligible for an upgrade, you cannot purchase these online.
To summarize, if you are purchasing a CPO device due to the circumstances listed first (no insurance, no warranty, defective, lost, stolen device) and you go through customer service, there is no contract extension. If you purchase a CPO device online, you have to be eligible for an upgrade and it WILL renew your contract (that's what's meant by a NEW one or two year contract).
If I have this wrong (or right, either way) - can a Verizon employee or "official" rep please let us know? It makes sense to me this way....but that doesn't necessarily mean that's how Verizon will deal with it.

Virginia Medicaid, FAMIS and FAMIS Plus Managed Care Programs. How you can enroll
How you can enroll in Medicaid:
(adapted from the Virginia Medicaid Handbook)
To apply for Medicaid, contact the Department of Social Services (DSS) in the city or county where you live. The phone number for your local DSS can be found in the blue pages of your phone book. Applications can also be filed at some larger hospitals. An application must be signed by the person who needs assistance unless it is completed and signed by the applicant's legal guardian, conservator, attorney-in-fact, or authorized representative. A parent, guardian, authorized adult representative, or caretaker relative with whom the child lives must sign applications for children under the age of 18. Children under the age of 18 cannot apply for themselves, unless they are emancipated. However, if a child under the age of 18 has a child of their own, they may file an application for the child. A face-to-face interview is not required.
You may use the screening tool on the DSS website (
) to help determine whether you are eligible for Medicaid or children's health insurance, but the final decision must be made by an eligibility worker at your local DSS.
Most Virginia Medicaid enrollees are required to receive their medical care through managed care programs. Virginia has two managed care programs established to provide quality health care services to enrollees – MEDALLION and MCO (Managed Care Organization) programs. If you meet the criteria to be assigned to a managed care program, within 15-45 days after your Medicaid approval you will receive a letter from DMAS requiring you to choose either a MEDALLION Primary Care Provider (PCP) or an MCO for your health care. You will receive helpful information about the programs such as a list of MEDALLION PCPs and a Help Sheet, or an MCO Comparison Chart and a brochure. If you do not make a choice, you will be assigned to a PCP or MCO.
How you can enroll in FAMIS, FAMIS Plus, and FAMIS MOMS
(adapted from the FAMIS handbook)
Applying for FAMIS, FAMIS Plus and FAMIS MOMS is quick and easy. Just call toll-free 1-866-87FAMIS (1-866-873-2647). Interpreters are available. Our representatives will connect you with someone who speaks your preferred language. Or, log onto

Springdale grad Killian shines on diamond for Allegheny
For many high school baseball players, the adjustment to the college game can be a trying process. It can take months, even years, to adapt and find a consistent spot in the lineup.
But for Joe Killian, the transition was swift.
And the Springdale graduate has the hardware to prove it.
A freshman third baseman at Allegheny College, Killian was named North Coast Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Year, just the third player in school history to earn that distinction.
He went from trying to earn playing time to being one of the Gators' top offensive weapons in the 10-team conference.
Killian led the Gators in several categories, including batting average (.374), slugging percentage (.489), on-base percentage (.485), total bases (64), doubles (11) and runs scored (31).
The Gators finished 26-16 and reached the NCAC championship game.
"I didn't come in with predetermined expectations," said Killian, who also was a standout quarterback at Springdale. "I just wanted to play my game. I knew that if I played like I can, I could make it onto the field."
Killian ranked in the top 10 in hitting in the conference for much of the season, but perhaps the most telling stat that shows his readiness for Division III baseball: he also led the team in walks with 28.
The next closest player had 17.
The clean-up hitter, he was pitched around numerous times and also walked intentionally on several occasions.
Killian, who also received All-NCAC honorable mention honors, drove in 31 runs, the second-highest total on the team.
He started the second game of the season, then 39 more after that. He had the game-winning RBI against Hamilton College in a game played in Auburndale, Fla.
Later in the season, he drove in seven runs against Pitt-Bradford.
"They told me when I was coming out of high school that if I worked hard, I had a chance to see the field," Killian said. "I put in a lot of hard work. I had a good perspective as a freshman. Guys are older than you, and they're bigger and stronger. You have to work hard and be perfect.
"Our whole team worked hard."
Killian (6-foot, 185 pounds) said he's most impressed with his on-base percentage.
"That's one of the things that stood out to me," he said.
Killian seems to be paying more attention to detail at the college level, something he believes will make him an even better player in the future.
"The biggest difference (from high school baseball) is all of the little things," he said. "Mental mistakes add up, and they come back to hurt you. There are a lot of close games. You have more evenly matched teams. One mental error can cost you a game."
Division II schools courted Killian, who was one of the WPIAL's top hitters as a senior. He led the league with 40 RBI.
Killian, though, has no regrets about choosing Allegheny.
"The main difference you see with Division II is the pitchers and catchers are so much better," he said. "I feel like I had a good season, but now I want to set a higher goal. It gives me the motivation to eclipse what I did before."
A former American Legion standout, Killian will keep busy this summer playing for Wexford in the Butler Eagle County League.

The new Pelican Shakespeare series incorporates the more than thirty years of Shakespeare scholarship undertaken since the acclaimed original series, edited by Alfred Harbage, appeared between 1956 and 1967.
The general editors of the new series of forty volumes-the renowned Shakespeareans Stephen Orgel of Stanford University and A. R. Braunmuller of UCLA-have assembled a team of eminent scholars who have, along with the general editors themselves, prepared new introductions and notes to all of Shakespeare's plays and poems. Redesigned in an easy-to-read format that preserves the favorite features of the original, including an essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare, an introduction to the individual play, and a note on the text used.
The new Pelican Shakespeare will be an excellent resource for students, teachers, and theatre professionals well into the twenty first century.

Indiana Hoosiers: The Road to a Big Ten ChampionshipJanuary 13, 2012
With nearly a quarter of the Big Ten schedule out of the way—and IU going 3-1 in the first four games—things are looking nothing but gravy for the Hoosiers.
Most fans and experts didn't give Indiana a shot at winning the Big Ten. After the season they have had so far, that goal is not far out of reach.
If Indiana can continue to progress and play basketball as a team like they have been, in March, Coach Crean and his guys could be looking at a really good seed for the big dance.
On my recent visit with Mason in the morning on 1450 The Sports Buzz in Louisville, I proclaimed how well they're playing and how the impact of Cody Zeller has changed the landscape of this team.
There aren't many guys in the college basketball world who make a coach go, "hmmm." Zeller is one of those guys. He demands attention from the defense, and if you put too much attention on him, then he hits one of his teammates for the open jumper.
I'm here to tell you why IU will bring home the Big Ten Championship this year. I'm already sold, and now I'm going to make you buy a ticket to the IU run to Big Ten glory.
Let's start with this list of players.
Team 1
P1-12.9 pts per game, 83% FT shooter, 3 reb
P2-10.1 pts per game, 73% FT shooter, 2 reb
P3-15.9 pts per game, 73% FT shooter, 9 reb
P4-8.1 pts per game, 57% FT shooter, 4 reb
P5-7.8 pts per game, 54% FT shooter, 4 reb
Team 2
P1-11.4 pts per game, 66% FT shooter, 5 reb
P2-10.7 pts per game, 71% FT shooter, 3 reb
P3-12.3 pts per game, 86% FT shooter, 2 reb
P4-14.2 pts per game, 74% FT shooter, 6 reb
P5-13.5 pts per game, 76% FT shooter, 5 reb
Team 3
P1-15.4 pts per game, 86 % FT shooter, 4 reb
P2-17.4 pts per game, 75% FT shooter, 9 reb
P3-8.1 pts per game, 67% FT shooter, 3 reb
P4-15.3 pts per game, 72% FT shooter, 4 reb
P5-5.2 pts per game, 47% FT shooter, 4 reb
What you have here is the Top Five scoring players for three Big Ten teams. Team one has four guys who are starters and the fifth player who actually averages more minutes then the guy who starts in his position.
Team two has four starters in there, plus a bench player who plays nearly half a game each night out. Team three has all of its starters right there in that list.
So now the question is you're given a chance to pick a squad to run a game at your local open gym. Who do you take? You think about that one and we will come back to it later in the story.
Hard-nosed Basketball
Most basketball fans have to know that the Big Ten has always been a league where going on the road is tough. Anyone can lose on any given day.
The Big Ten is hard-nosed basketball, where you fight it out almost every game you play. Blowouts are rare, but happen. Scoring isn't always up there in numbers, but you get some run away games like we seen the other night with Michigan State demolishing Iowa.
Something Indiana does that I think is giving them the edge and will continue to is that that they score points and still play solid defense. They have a scoring margin of +18.6. They average 82.4 points per game while allowing 63.8.
The only team better then them is Ohio State.
IU has already taken one from the Buckeyes. To me, that was a gigantic conference win. In the end, will be part of the reason they win conference. Indiana is the only Big Ten team to be in the Top 25 for scoring offenses—something that will continue to carry them for the rest of the season.
When you can consistently put up big points and play that solid defense, you give yourself some breaking room. There are going to be nights where you just can't hit the ocean from a battleship. It happens, teams go cold and they can't find the groove.
Now, in the case of IU, they have that 18 points to play with. If Zeller or Hulls comes out in a game and can't get it going—but can continue to play the defense they do—IU will find a way to win.
What I'm trying to say is the Hoosiers take care of both ends. A lot of times you see a team that can light up the scoreboard, but can't play two licks of defense. So, sure, you can put 80 on the board, but you also give up 80, which in turns make you .500 ball club.
Indiana, however, does not and will not fall under that rule this year. They're too solid on both ends.
Who Did You Take?
Earlier you saw three team lineups that I picked. Who did you take?
If you said you would run with the first team, then you're looking at Michigan State. If you said give the third squad, then you're a Buckeye. If you said that second team, then put on your candy cane warm-up pants because you're looking at what Indiana does on average.
Indiana is the only team in the Big Ten to have five players averaging at least 10 points.
You can look at that a couple ways: They shoot to much, they are the only guys who score points, they are a balanced offense….and so on.
The answer is they are a balanced offense. Besides the guys listed above, IU also has two guys that average at least eight points a game. I still don't have Matt Roth or Derek Elston in those seven players. If you remember, Matt Roth just dropped 22 on Penn State.
Sure, he may not average a lot, but he can if needed.
Back to the point of all these numbers. My point is Indiana has depth and they are not afraid to go to the bench to get it. Will Sheehey is a bench player who averages 11 points a game.
In the Big Ten, you're going to have to gut out some games. Coach Crean knows that in game situations he can call on a lot of those bench guys to step right in. This is a major benefit for this team.
What Indiana is doing—and I've stressed this before—is playing team basketball. There is no player on that team that demands the ball. They are unselfish and willing to make the extra pass.
You won't find that to often in this sport. Guys want the ball and want to be the superstar.
Indiana doesn't care who hits the shot as long as it goes in. When you're passing the ball and taking care of it late in the games, you wear down your opponent.
When you watch IU you can see that's part of the plan for them. Run the offense and make the extra pass. Make the defense work!
What Indiana Brings to the Table
Indiana also hits free throws. Remember back a few years when all Memphis had to do was hit free throws and they probably would have won the title?
The importance of being able to grab free points goes beyond just beating into the head of the player. They know they have to shoot and make them.
Indiana is in the Top 15 in attempts as well. They know how to get to the lane. It's a bit surprising to think they are in the Top 15 considering you see them shoot a lot.
Don't be fooled though! They are second in the Big Ten, shooting 73 percent as a team and are ranked 50th in the college hoop world. Come crunch time, this team will be ready to get to the line.
They have five guys who averaging getting to the line at least four times a game. That's 20 possible points that can go on the scoreboard!
Indiana brings a lot to the table each night. These are just a few of the key stats I believe will lead them to a championship.
They may not be the most important stats to some, but they are stats and game situations that are run into every night.
If IU continues to strive in these categories, they should continue to have success in the Big Ten. Come March, the Hoosiers can get those shoes shined 'cause they will be dancing!
Got a question or comment? Chances are I'll use it down the line. Shoot me a note at email@example.com or on Twitter @ BillBiz22

Bulykin ready to make impact
Dynamo Moscow striker Dmitry Bulykin used to have a reputation as a talented under-achiever, described as lazy and unpredictable by his own coach.
But Bulykin, 24, credits coach Viktor Prokopenko for helping turn around his career.
'In the past, we used to have long talks and the coach basically told me to take a hard look at myself and decide what I want to do with my future,' said the big striker, who stands 1.93 metres tall and weighs more than 85 kg.
The breakthrough came this year when Bulykin became Dynamo's top scorer and made his international debut.
'This season he turned his attention to football and the results spoke for themselves,' Prokopenko said
A change in Bulykin's attitude was also evident to new Russia coach Georgy Yartsev, who gave the striker his first international cap in a Euro 2004 qualifier against Ireland in September.
Four days later Bulykin notched a hat-trick to lead Russia to a 4-1 home win over Switzerland, becoming an instant national hero in the soccer-mad country.
He followed that with a fine all-around performance against Georgia, scoring a first-half equaliser to help Russia to a comfortable 3-1 victory that secured their playoff spot.
His scoring exploits this season have not gone unnoticed by scouts of several top European clubs.
But Bulykin, who models his game on Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri, said a move abroad would have to wait until after Euro 2004.
'Every player, whether he admits it or not, dreams of playing for one of the big European clubs,' he said.
'But to get noticed you must perform on a big international stage and what better way to earn a nice contract than to excel next summer in Portugal.'

Upgrading An RV TV Mount
Bill and Jenn Gehr
May 9, 2012
Whenever I walk into a motorhome, I immediately look for the TV. Perhaps it's an instinctual, "man cave" response, but the older I get, the smaller the screen becomes, leaving a strong desire to upgrade to a bigger TV. Our rig was outfitted with a 37-inch LCD TV from the factory, which seemed... Read more »

Eco approval for Aquila's WA port project
Published: February 1 2013 - 10:45AM
Aquila Resources has won state environmental approval for a proposed port to export iron ore, a key step for the company's planned $7.4 billion iron ore project in Western Australia.
The biggest hurdle to the Anketell port project, designed to eventually handle 350 million tonnes a year of iron ore, is state clearance for who will build the project.
Aquila's 50 per cent-owned API joint venture wants to build a 30 million tonnes-a-year mine, a railway and port, but the project has been stalled by delays in securing funding and regulatory approvals, aggravated by volatile iron ore prices.
On top of those issues, Aquila and its partners, private mining investment group American Metals and Coal International and South Korean steel giant Posco, are locked in a budget dispute.
The state has said it will not give final approval for the Anketell project until it is certain the project's backers have the funds to justify going ahead with construction, which will depend on the iron ore market.
Aquila said today that the state environmental green light for Anketell Port clears the way for the federal government to consider the project for environmental approval.
In recent trade, Aquila shares were down 2 cents - 0.6 per cent - at $3.10.

The Dwight D. Eisenhower of 'Lee Daniels' The Butler' is in negotiation to reprise his role as Theodore Roosevelt in the third installment of the 'Night at the Museum' series.
Robin Williams is likely to reunite with Ben Stiller in the next "Night at the Museum" film. The 62-year-old star played Teddy Roosevelt in the two previous movies and is reportedly approached to reprise his role in the upcoming "Night at the Museum 3".
Shawn Levy, who directed the first "Night at the Museum" in 2006 and the 2009 follow-up "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian", will also return as the helmer in the third entry. They are expected to begin filming February next year.
Based on the 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc, the movie franchise revolves around Larry Daley (Stiller) as a watchman at the American Museum of Natural History where the occupants come to life at night. Details of the plotline for the new installment are still under wraps.
Williams also played historical figure Dwight D. Eisenhower in "Lee Daniels' The Butler" which was released earlier this year. He will next be seen in "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn" and "A Friggin' Christmas Miracle".

VLC is one of the most well-known media players out there, and it's been almost 4 years since they've released a major new version. VLC 0.9.0 is on the horizon, and it packs in 2 years of development… so you can expect some great things. There's just one gotcha: Windows 98/ME and Mac OS X 10.3.9 are no longer supported operating systems.
So what's new in this release? One of the biggest things would have to be the revamped interface seen in the screenshot above. The preferences have been drastically overhauled, and are now broken up into "simple" and advanced settings. That way new users aren't overwhelmed by the number of things that can be configured.
Beauty is only skin deep though, and that's why there's much more than the flashy new interface that's worth a look:
- Improved playlist support: Shoutcast TV listings, Audioscrobbler/Last.FM support (in supported countries), album art, and more
- Better tag support
- Supports most types of subtitles
- New and enhanced filters
- Improved mouse gestures
- Full support for meta data editing (ID3v2, Ogg/Vorbis, AAC, APEv1/2)
- and more…
If you're looking for the Last.FM support you'll have to dig through the options (Tools -> Preferences). You'll need to be in the "advanced" view by filling in the All bubble located in the lower-left corner. Then navigate to Interface -> Control Interfaces -> Audioscrobbler. From there you can enter in your Last.FM username and password. Then click on the Control Interfaces section, and check the "Submission of played songs to Last.FM" box. VLC will share your listening habits with Last.FM from there on out.
You can grab a pre-release version of VLC 0.9.0 (Windows installer), or you can wait for it to reach final form. From what I can tell this is shaping up to be a nice release.

Born in the practical midwest, raised in between fields and woodlands, and trained in architecture, I am deeply interested in making meaningful experiences for others in architecture, art and apparel design. Even if the other being only inhabits my designs for the length of an art viewing or the time it takes them to try on a garment or to have a lovely dinner, I want them to feel at "home" while they are there. Nature's structures and patterns, colors and texture deeply inspire my designs as well.

Art and Fashion Meet As iD Fashion Week Begins
Art and Fashion Meet As iD Fashion Week Begins
High art meets high fashion at 'Not All White' – an exhibition showcasing 15 years of Tanya Carlson's exquisite wedding dresses alongside renowned artist Michael Parekowhai's Cuisenaire rods – which opened this weekend to mark the beginning of iD Dunedin Fashion Week's 15th anniversary.
A capacity crowd attended yesterday's exhibition opening and talk at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery. Featuring Carlson in conversation with curator Dr Jane Malthus, the global fashion week will also include catwalk shows, events, tours, public talks and exhibitions, culminating in the 10th annual iD International Emerging Designer Awards on Thursday night at the Dunedin Town Hall and the 15th annual iD Dunedin Fashion Shows at the historic Dunedin Railway Station on Friday and Saturday nights.
"Tanya Carlson is a name synonymous with Dunedin fashion and iD Dunedin Fashion Week, as one of the founding designers of this unique event," says iD Committee Chair Susie Staley.
"Seeing 17 of her couture wedding dresses together – some created for New Zealand's well-known faces such as Alison Shanks, Kerre McIvor, or Sonia Gray – supported by Michael Parekowhai's incredible Cuisenaire rods, delivers a powerful start to iD's 15th anniversary. This is high art and high fashion in collaboration and sets the tone perfectly for the week, which will include many other high fashion and art moments."
This year's sold-out anniversary shows feature an international line up, including iD guests Paris-based Australian designer Martin Grant, New Zealand's beloved avant-garde label WORLD, and a catalogue of New Zealand fashion icons, including NOM*d, Tanya Carlson, Mild-Red, Charmaine Reveley, Tamsin Cooper, DADA Vintage, Company of Strangers, and more.
Yesterday's opening events also included the ever-popular iD Designer Sale at the Dunedin Railway Station where around 450 fashion lovers reveled in a treasure trove of high profile fashion labels slashed to rock-bottom prices.
Tomorrow evening, an official invite-only launch event sponsored by the Otago Daily Times will be held at the Dunedin Town Hall. The following morning, the city will welcome 10 models from sister city Shanghai, who will be part of the key iD fashion shows and that evening will see the official opening of Dunedin's first sustainable fashion hub with Zerowaste fashion practitioner Senorita AweSUMO.
The iD Dunedin Fashion Week Hub at Dunedin's Golden Centre Mall will host a range of activities from guest and designer appearances, including Martin Grant on Thursday at 3pm, spot prizes, and the impressive catwalk show on Wednesday night, 'Bright, Bold, Beautiful', a showcase of previously unseen priceless pieces from the Darnell Collection, with iD 2011 guest Charlotte Smith.
Hotel St Clair, the major accommodation sponsor of iD Dunedin Fashion Week, will host the Designer Breakfast Series from Wednesday April 2 to April 3 – two days of breakfasts, with presentations from iconic Dunedin designers, Sara Munro from Company of Strangers and Margi Robertson from NOM*d.
Exhibitions include Fashionable Gold (at the Otago
Museum) – a stunning array of garments selected from the
Otago Museum's world-class collection to showcase the
scope and style of 'fashionable gold' textiles (in
conjunction with iD's anniversary); work from designers
from the 'PARTICIPANT' Project Space on Princes Street,
which showcases a group of local and national boutique
designers and makers that all work between the lines of art
and fashion, including contemporary jewellery, shoes,
limited edition bags and couture men's and women's
clothing; and Lure jewellery's 'Solid Gold
Martin Grant's presence at this year's iD Fashion Shows continues the high standards set by previous iD international guest designers, Zandra Rhodes, Akira Isogawa, Lutz Huelle and last year's UK celebrity milliner Stephen Jones. He will also join the prestigious iD International Emerging Designer judging panel, which this year includes Singapore based UK fashion educator Lucy Jones, WORLD's Francis Hooper, alongside Dunedin's own Tanya Carlson and Margi Robertson (NOM*d).
Returning to iD is television personality Carol Hirschfeld, who will host the iD Awards, while TV3's Mike McRoberts and Paula Penfold will host the 15th anniversary shows for the first time.
For a full calendar of not-to-be-missed fashion events – including public lectures with iD guests, the library's popular Geek-Chic catwalk show, tours, and exhibitions by local artists and jewellers – visit iD Fashion.

p a s s a g e
a collection of recent works.
by b y J e n n i f e r L. H o f f m a n
About the Book
This collection of selected paintings and drawings shows the versatility of award-winning artist Jennifer L. Hoffman. From tonal night scenes to sunlit plein air sketches, Hoffman's gentle approach imbues her works with meaning beyond a literal depiction of the natural world. Works include oil paintings, pastels, and graphite drawings, plein air and studio works. 60 pp., includes 58 color reproductions & 14 black and white.
About the Creator
"I am equally interested in communicating the internal and external in my work. Subject, composition, and palette are often more reflective of my internal state than the physical environment. I hope that personal subtext takes my work beyond the literal to something more transcendant." Jennifer L. Hoffman was born and raised in the rural Pennsylvania Dutch community of Ephrata. She began drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil. After earning her BFA from the University of Delaware, she moved to Jackson Hole, WY, where she's become a recognized plein air and studio artist. Hoffman has participated in many regional and national exhibitions. Recent awards include an Award of Merit at the Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters' National Exhibition and 3rd Place in Landscape in the 9th Annual Pastel 100.

BAYTOWN, Texas - Harris County is suing an illegal Baytown game room where a security guard was killed during a robbery.
Harris County Attorney Vince Ryan said the game room in the 7300 block of the East Freeway has been the target of several investigations since April 2009. Gambling equipment has been seized and people have been arrested and charged with being in possession of gambling devices.
Juan Pardo-Gonzalez, a uniformed security guard, was killed at the game room during a robbery on Aug. 5. Rafael Gomez Solis, 26, and Santiago Jaimes Gonzalez, 28, have been charged with capital murder in connection with the crime.
Ryan said that game rooms generate large amounts of cash and that leads to high amounts of crimes in the areas in which they are located.

Semi-Auto handgun
Hello, I am new to semi-automatic handguns and was wondering what is a CZ, what is a XD? What is the difference in your opinion between automatic and semi-automatic and non-automatic handguns?
CZ is a brand, XD is a model (Springfield), auto means it shoots as long as you hold down the trigger or more than one shot per trigger pull, semi-auto means it shoots one cartridge per trigger pull, non semi-auto means it is either a single shot, mutiple single shot (mutiplebarrel derringer) or revolver.
A true auto firearm is very expensive and takes all sort of federal paperwork to own and may still be illegal to own depending on the state you live in.
I like some semi auto handguns also like some revolvers.
I have the following semi autos handguns:
CZ 75 Compact
Bersa Thunder 380 auto
Amt AutoMag II (22 WMR)
I have the following revolvers:
Ruger SP-101, 3" barrel, 5 shot, stainless revolver in 357 magnum
Ruger SP-101, 4" barrel, 6 shot, stainless revolver in 32 H&R magnum
CZ is an abbreviation for Ceska Zbrojovka (roughly translated at Czech Arms Manufacture, located in Uhersky Brod, Czech Republic). XD stands for 'Xtreme Duty', the latest line of pistol designs from Springfield Armory.
Other CZ-oriented web sites are www.CZShooters.com and www.CZForum.com. A wealth of information on the line of pistols/rifles on either site.
Springfield Armory (www.springfield-armory.com) has the entire line-up of pistols (even though I lean towards the CZ, I am seriously considering adding a 1911-design pistol to my accumulation).

A group of motorbike enthusiasts have gone back to school, for a first aid class which could potentially save lives.
The 13 members of the Wiltshire Bikers club attended the course at the Proactive Learning Centre in Trowbridge, where they earned a national first aid qualification.
The course focused on dangers faced by bikers, but also covered skills and techniques which could prove lifesavers in day-to-day life.
Gerry Simpson, of Wiltshire Bikers, said: "What we were looking for was qualified training to help us deal not only with road traffic accidents, but with other incidents that could happen at work or at home.
"Six hours later, we were all delighted to end up not just with a qualification, but the confidence to help should we be faced with an accident or other emergency."
The session covered basic first aid, preserving life, stabilising an injury, promoting recovery and basic CPR principles.
Plans are under way for another course next year. For details, visit www.wiltshirebikers.co.uk.
