You can relax and rejoice, Marquette fans, you have a new head coach (seriously this time).
The university announced Monday that Duke University associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski (we'll refer to him as "Wojo") accepted the position to become Marquette's newest head coach.
Wojo spent four years as a point guard (1994-1998) and 15 years as an assistant under Mike Krzyzewski; by all means a strong résumé. Many may question the hire of an "unproven" coach…especially when there was speculation that Shaka Smart or Ben Howland would land the job.
Wojo may not be the sexy choice, but it was the smartest choice. Sure, other candidates had more experience, but interim Athletic Director Bill Cords was enticed by the possibilities that Wojo brought to the table. And he should be.
He's been around one of the greatest coaches of all-time for 19 years, has a high basketball IQ and is enthusiastic about his job.
Wojo played up his high-energy coaching and playing style in his introductory press conference at the Al McGuire Center Monday afternoon.
"The number one way basketball should be played is hard, all the time," Wojo said.
His strong recruiting skills were highlighted at Duke. Wojo landed the number one 2014-2015 recruit in the nation (Jahill Okafor) and was instrumental in recruiting the nation's top class next season (at Duke). His recruiting style is very promising and he should be able to land some big names at Marquette.
Many figure Wojo was set to succeed Coach K after he retires, but with Krzyzeksi announcing he'll be at Duke for at least five more years, he may have gotten tired of waiting and accepted Marquette's offer to succeed Buzz Williams. Don't read that as an excuse just to become a head coach, because Wojo said that he considered taking other head coaching jobs, but was waiting for the right opportunity to leave. When Marquette came calling, Wojo saw an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
"Marquette is a place that I've admired from a distance for a long time," Wojo said. "In the last few days, I've had a chance to experience it up close and personal. It's exceeded every expectation."
Contract details are yet to be released, but it likely was a lucrative contract that lured him from one of the countries top programs.
It will be interesting to see who he chooses to join him as assistants, but he's got a list in mind. I expect he'll bring a few colleagues with him from Duke and assemble a solid staff with strong east coast recruiting ties.
"I want guys who will dive into the game of basketball and relationships to help our guys reach their potential, both individually and collectively," Wojo said. "I want to move quickly, but I need to make sure we have the best staff for our program."
In my last post, I spoke about how Marquette is a steppingstone job for young coaches looking to build their resumes so they can eventually leave for an elite program. This hire is no exception. I find it hard to believe that Wojo will stay at Marquette whenever Coach K finally calls it quits, but that remains to be seen. One thing that is for sure is that Wojo will be honest and caring to every player on his team.
"I want the players to trust me," Wojo said. "I think trust is built by telling the truth and doing your best every day."
Another concern for me is whether or not Wojo can keep Marquette's incoming recruits on the team. The Golden Eagles have another high-rated class of recruits (Ahmed Hill, Sandy Cohen, etc.) in 2014-2015. I think most of them (recruits) will keep their commitments because of Wojo's previous success.
As for players currently on the roster transferring, point guard Derrick Wilson doesn't see it being an issue. According to Wilson, everyone on Marquette's current roster will return next season. If true, there won't have to be much rebuilding and Marquette should be a solid contender next season.
At first, I was skeptical about the hire, but the more I learn about the character and coach that Wojo represents, the more intrigued I was.
Wojo sounds truly dedicated to not just the basketball program, but shaping the lives and careers of the student athletes.
After one of the worst March's in school history, the hire breathes new life into a program that was in complete disarray just one week prior. I'm happy with the hire of Wojo and the future of Marquette basketball, and you should be too.

And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:10
Pharaoh, the ruler ofEgypt, the man who wisely put Joseph under him, the man who now has the world in debt to him because he is the possessor of the world's food supply, comes in to meet the Hebrew father of Joseph.
Joseph's father, Jacob, is a shepherd and the head of a family of seventy-five. Joseph presents his father before Pharaoh, and it is not Pharaoh who blesses Jacob, but it is Jacob who blesses Pharaoh. Hebrews 7:7 says, "But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater."
What made Jacob greater than Pharaoh, the ruler ofEgypt? It was not his money, his fame, or his social status. It was his God. I can only imagine the conversations that must have gone on between Joseph and Pharaoh as they discussed the kingdom business ofEgypt.
Egyptserved many gods, and they were a "religious" people. I am sure that Pharaoh must have sought to know more about the God that revealed his dream to Joseph; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I can imagine Joseph walking with Pharaoh and sharing his God with him through the stories that had been passed down from father to son. So when Jacob, Israel, the man who had seen God face-to-face (Genesis 32:30), came before Pharaoh, a blessing was welcome from him becauseIsrael intimately knew God.
This intimate knowledge and relationship with the God of gods, the Creator of all things, was what made Jacob greater than Pharaoh. It's said that it is not what you know; it's who you know. All the whats in this world will someday pass away, but the Who will remain forever.
God does not determine greatness according to the standards of man. In this world, it is easy to get caught up in the strive for fame and fortune. It is thrust upon us and our children through the medias of society. It is driven in us through public education and even well-meaning friends and family.
It doesn't matter how great we are in this world; what matters is the One that lasts forever. Jesus said in Matthew 5:19 that "whoever keeps and teaches the commandments of God, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." In Mark 10:43–45 Jesus said, "Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant."
My friends, let us strive to be great in the kingdom of our God.
Oh Father,
That I might serve You. That my life might be given so that other lives might come to know the glory of Your name and the name of Jesus Christ. My Jesus, might I serve You with all my heart, all my mind, and all my strength. All that matters is the crown that one day I will lay at Your feet. Those who fight for money, fame, and power in this life, their reward will perish, but the reward that we are to seek is imperishable (1 Corinthians 9:25). The things of this world will someday pass away, but Your Word will endure forever (Luke 21:33). Your kingdom stands forever; my service to You and to Your kingdom is all that matters.
My Jesus, it is in Your name I pray,

How-To: Spring Clean Your Bedroom
Have you started your Spring cleaning yet? If not, you can get inspired with my Spring Cleaning Checklist, which you can download and print out. The PDF lists cleaning and organizing duties room by room, to keep things simple. I thought I'd expand on some of those tasks to help you get the most out of your Spring cleaning routine.
To see my tips for cleaning your bedroom,
- Dust ceiling, vents, fans, shelves, lamps, and corners with a feather duster. Make sure your feather duster is made from ostrich feathers, though! Feather dusters that aren't made from ostrich feathers won't pick up the dust.
- Wipe down your tabletops, baseboards, windowsills, TV, and other gadgets with a microfiber cloth. You can make a furniture polish to really put a shine on everything.
- Spray your mirror, windows, and glass frames with glass cleaner and wipe it off. Or, you can spray them with a vinegar and water solution and wipe them off with newspaper to really make them sparkle.
- Dry clean your drapery, slipcovers, and any delicate bedding you have. You can download a list of eco-friendly dry cleaners at the EPA's website.
- Wash your bedding, mattress pad, and bed skirt with a homemade eco-friendly detergent on a cool setting. If you've got stains to conquer, check out this bleach alternative.
- Clean your floors by sweeping and mopping them or vacuuming them. Learn to make an herbal carpet cleaner, and if your rugs or carpets are stinky, make a rug deodorizer.
- Tidy your books and accessories. Try a new way of organizing your books, like color coordinating them. When in doubt about arranging accessories or artwork, arrange in threes.
- Flip your mattress horizontally and vertically to keep the wear even.

Double-acting bacteria immobilize toxic nanoparticles
Bacteria found lurking in the bowels of an abandoned Wisconsin mine might have a role in cleaning up toxic metals. A new study shows that these bacteria make compounds that cement minute metallic particles into balls that naturally drop out of contaminated water.
As part of their metabolic cycles, certain bacteria that live in watery, oxygenfree environments take up one type of sulfur-containing chemical, a sulfate, and transform it into another type, a sulfide, that they then release. The sulfide binds to metals dissolved in water to form nanoparticles.
John Moreau of the U.S. Geological Survey in Middleton, Wis., and his colleagues studied the activity of such bacteria in a flooded lead-and-zinc mine. They discovered that zinc sulfide nanoparticles "were being scooped up and glommed together into spheroids," he says.
The larger spheroids tend to settle out long before they get into the water supply.

Persecution and Hunting
Roman SlaughtersThe tradition of killing animals for pleasure has a long history in Asia and Europe. So popular was hunting in ancient Rome that mosaics and paintings often depicted this pastime as a heroic activity. Slaughtering animals was considered a form of entertainment, and people scoured the countryside for bears, Lions, stags and boars to pursue with spears and dogs (Attenborough 1987). As the Roman Empire grew to encompass the entire Mediterranean basin, its citizens traveled throughout the region to hunt and bring back animals to be killed in primitive contests in the coliseums of Rome and other cities. The coliseum games continued for more than 400 years in more than 70 amphitheaters, the largest seating up to 50,000 people on stone benches arranged around a central arena (Attenborough 1987).

A fine-grained scan of DNA in lung cancer cells has revealed a gene fusion—a forced merger of two normally separate genes—that spurs the cells to divide rapidly, scientists at Harvard Medical School, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the University of Colorado report in a new paper in the journal Nature Medicine. Treating the cells with a compound that blocks a protein encoded by one of those genes—NTRK1—caused the cells to die.
The finding suggests that the fusion of NTRK1 to other genes fuels the growth of some lung adenocarcinomas (a form of non-small cell lung cancer), and that drugs that target NTRK1's protein product could be effective in patients whose lung tumors harbor such fusions.
"Treatment with targeted therapies is now superior to standard chemotherapy for many patients with lung cancers that harbor genetic changes, including those with fusions involving the gene ALK," said Pasi A. Jänne, HMS associate professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber, and senior co-author of the paper. "We know of several other genes that are fused in lung cancer and that offer attractive targets for new therapies. Our discovery places lung adenocarcinomas with NTRK1 fusions squarely within that group."
In the study, researchers performed next-generation DNA sequencing tests, which read the individual elements of the genetic code over long stretches of chromosomes, on tumor samples from 36 patients with lung adenocarcinomas whose tumors did not contain any previously known genetic alterations that could be found with standard clinical tests. In two of those samples—both from women who had never smoked—investigators found that a key region of the NTRK1 gene had become fused to normally distant genes (to the gene MPRIP in one patient; and the gene CD74 in the other).
NTRK1 holds the blueprint for a protein called TRKA, which dangles from the surface of cells and receives growth signals from other cells. The binding of NTRK1 to other genes causes TRKA to issue cell-growth orders on its own, without being prompted by outside signals.
In the laboratory, investigators mixed NTRK1-inhibiting agents into lung adenocarcinoma cells harboring NTRK1 fusions. The result was a dampening of TRKA's activity and the death of the cancer cells.
Investigators then designed a new test using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect NTRK1 fusions and tested an additional 56 tumor samples. In total, 3 of 91 tumor samples that had no other sign of cancer-causing genetic abnormalities had fusions involving NTRK1.
"These findings suggest that in a few percent of lung adenocarcinoma patients—in whose cancer cells we had previously been able to find no genetic abnormality—tumor growth is driven by a fusion involving NTRK1," Jänne said. "Given that lung cancer is a common cancer, even a few percent is significant and translates into a large number of patients. Our findings suggest that targeted therapies may be effective for this subset of lung cancer patients."
"This is still preclinical work," said Robert Doebele of the University of Colorado Cancer Center and co-author on the paper, "but it's the first—and maybe even second and third—important step toward picking off another subset of lung cancer with a treatment targeted to the disease's specific genetic weaknesses."
The research was supported by the Colorado Bioscience Discovery Evaluation Grant Program, the National Institutes of Health, and the Boettcher Foundation's Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Program, the Cammarata Family Foundation Research Fund, and the Nirenberg Fellowship at Dana-Farber.

If it isn't broke, Feb 28, 2013
|reviewer: Sharon from New York, New York
|I went to see the show last night. The orignal book by Oscar Hammerstein which I knew and loved was barely there. This version tinkered too much with the original story. Gone were the King and Queen replaced by Lord Pendelton and Jean Michel. Neither character is worthy of being included in the story. Pendelton competes with the Evil Stepmother to see who is more evil. Jean Michel is a bore. Ella as she is known here never "looses" her slipper and the scene of the trying on of the slipper was bland. The political add on was awkward to say the least. One star for the young lady who played Ella with such poise. Ella's dresses were more like a little girl's dress up trunk than a costume befitting Cinderella. Singing and dancing were good but the story line change was a big disappointment.

|Thanks to the entire cast and all those who worked on this marvelous production! As a child, I watched the t.v. version with Lesley-Anne Warren so many times that I know the lyrics to all of the songs. The new Broadway version is enchanting, lighthearted and the set and costume changes nothing short of enchanting. Beautiful singing, dancing and those glass slippers - sigh! Thanks for a magical night - my entire family loved it!!!

Fran Drescher was gonna be on stage just a couple feet in front of me!!! In her
own words from her hit show the Nanny I was "Plotzing". Other than me totally
"fan-girlling" over Fran, I can honestly say that her performance and the

Girls Gone Avian seems to be a theme this fall. First, we got the trailer for The Black Swan, which I think accurately communicates how completely and utterly horrifying it would be to start growing wings:
Next up? The decidedly less impressive-looking Passion Play, because there's nothing creepy about Mickey Rourke going to see Megan Fox at a peep show and falling in love with her, right?
I do think it's fascinating that in both of these movies, wings stand for something other than flight, or freedom. In the case of The Black Swan, they're a manifestation — or if they aren't actually real, though it sure looks like they are — of madness. In Passion Play, I'm guessing on limited information that they stand for purity. There's something odd, and more than a little regressive, about this vestigality. What's happened to soaring?

I am using Carrot,Beetroot,apple and ginger. Can anyone sugest a better one for Detox and all round daily health.
My hair grows pretty slow. I get it trimmed every 10 weeks and I have maybe an inch of growth at that time.

I am 5'2″, and currently 123 Lbs, which is about 10 Lbs overweight. I am in school and working a full time job. I have been at my goal weight, but it required over an hour of exercise daily. Would you guys advise me on the most calorie-expending workout that fits in a 45 minute time slot? Thanks!
Me vitamin D levels are very low and the doctor told me to take a ostelin tablet daily . I have been suffering from chronic anxiety symptoms and could this lack of vitamin D be the culprit that's causing it?
I am trying to incorporate more omega-3's into my diet and I am currently taking a 1300mg supplement of fish oil daily. Should i switch over to flax seed oil? How many mg of Flax seed oil should I take daily? Am i taking too much fish oil mg's daily? if so, then how much mgs should i take daily?

I'm a 21 year old male weighing in at 235 lbs. I go to the gym 6 days a week for about an hour. I'm trying to find out that is the recommended daily intake of flax seed oil supplements. I read the taking 1000mg a day was sufficient but I could be wrong. Can any one help? Thanks
I have 1200 mg softgels and I took 6 yesterday, is that too much? Like maybe scale it back to 4?
Suggested use says take 2 softgels 2-3 times daily. I am wondering though because it says it's not evaluated by the FDA so that could be too much?
I am wanting to lose a significant amount of weight. How many calories should I consume daily? Fat grams daily?
Starting tomorrow..Im going to take 3 Fish oil tablets. 1 at each meal along with 1 flaxseed oil tablet at breakfast for a total of 3 fish oil tablets and 1 flaxseed daily.
Has anybody ever tried this before? I think it sounds like a great idea.
How many tablespoons of ground flaxseed should a vegan consume daily? I have tried taking 2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil daily but it is disgusting… So I have been consuming 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed (into smoothies mmm) Would this be enough in order to get my day's worth of omega-3?
Spamer is not welcome,every link should be moderated.

I was recently at a large LE convention.
Remington had a display there.
I spoke to their rep, and asked him some questions about the 870 HD and 870 Police.
He told me the 870 Police does NOT have the locking safety, and that the 870 Police has more "heavy duty" parts and goes through more "extensive" testing than the 870 HD.
I hope this helps.

It is true that the 870P does not have the pc safety. Remington packs a separate trigger lock in the box. The only parts that are "heavy duty" are some of the springs. The trigger group is still aluminum alloy. I defy anyone to show me any other major part that is not the same as the Express. Yeah, I know that the magazine tube on the Express has dimples, but that can be fixed. The forend on the Express is a sporting type, but that can be fixed also.
As I have said before, there is a lot of BS put out by Remington and others about the virtues of the 870P vs. the 870 Express. Most of it is a sales pitch. Is the 870P worth the extra money? Maybe, but that's up to you.

Sorry if I'm getting repetitious, but...
870s last so darn long that the idea of heavy duty, extra cost parts kinda loses its attraction. Maybe the beancounters running Remington figure they can market a cheaper and flimsier version, and have folks pay extra to get what they used to get as part of the basic package. I don't see that happening, too many used 870s out there and too many companies from Beijing to Brownsville making pump guns.
What bothers me most is a company philosophy of bottomlining, whether it's shotguns, cars or pacemakers. When we depend on something to keep us alive, the bottom line is not our primary concern.
It's nothing new, the very design of the 870 was to make as reliable, smooth, and effective a pump gun as the Model 12 w/o its expensive machining and higher price. Now, the philosophy has been carried to its business end,and the US public is the worse for it.
I will buy more shotguns and rifles,someday. As it stands right now, NONE of them will be new Remingtons for the PC abd bottomline choices they've made, and the prostitution of their products and selling of their good name for a mess of pottage.
Rant mode off....

Sounds like something you would say when you want to charge more $ for a special "police" version that is not much different than the regular version.

....."I defy anyone to show me any other major part that is not the same as the Express."..... -DML
For one thing, I can tell you for sure, my 870 Police Magnum has a much heavier barrel than does my 870 Express. Also, the magazine spring follower is very, very much more substantial in the PM than in the Express. And I do not believe these are the only differences in terms of "heavy-duty" features in the Police Magnum compared to the Express; they are just the most obvious...

I don't want to get into a fruitless discussion over this,
but I have in front of me right this moment a new Police Magnum barrel and a new Express barrel. The only difference
between the two is the external finish and the new Express barrel doesn't have the spring detent. The other parts are minor.
If you want to nitpick, go right ahead. Enjoy yourself. I won't argue with you, but I work with these shotguns on a daily basis. In fact, that's how I make my living. Other then the trigger group, the only parts are the bolt, the carrier and the fore end tube assy. If put a bunch of these parts in a box you would never be able to tell the difference between one that came from an Express or an 870P.
The only thing "heavy duty" about the 870P besides the springs is the marketing.

I stand corrected, and my apologies. I'm still living up to my nom de cyber (without really trying). I was told by the dealer who sold me the PM that the barrel was heavier than in the Express; I was camparing the 12 gauge PM with my 20 gauge Youth Express, and doing so by memory because the PM is several states away at present being modified by George Stringer; and the differences between the spring followers in the two guns had made quite an impression on me, but I didn't realize that the difference in gauge might account for that.......

No need for apologies.
The 870P is a nicer finished gun then the Express. That's why it costs more.(about $100) Whether it's worth that much is up to the person paying for it. If you like polished blue instead of parkerizing, the blued Police Magnum is almost as nice as the Wingmaster.

Any folks here have an opinion about the mods these folks are doing to 870s, other than the cost (!):
Never having shot an 870 by Vang or Scattergun, I don't really know how to evaluate whether these folks are mostly adding snake oil...

1911, all of that stuff is worthy and good, as near as I can tell.
However, a stock 870 with zero mods is oneheckuva "Serious" shotgun. Add a few owner installed things like a mag extension, sling studs, and a few smithed things like a clean,4lb trigger, lengthened forcing cone,and a custom choke pkg, and you'll have close to an optimum "Serious" shotgun for a lot less than what ther're gonna charge.
My guess is, if one buys a used 870 of appropriate bbl length, and adds on the basics and smithing above, it'll run less than $400. The difference could be spent on getting lessons from Mr Awerback,Randy Cain, Suarez, et al.
Here's the short list of what I've done on my HD and deer 870s. the latter doubling as backup HD out of season.
Peep sight(And ramped front sight).
Shortened bbl.
Mag extension.
Clean trigger
Flextab conversion.
Sling studs& sling.
Lengthened forcing cone.
Starting with an 870 I already had, a ballpark figure on mods and addons would be less than $200.
I'm sure the Mad Dog version is a fine weapon, like the Vang and ST versions. What I don't see is a NEED to spend all that money.
However, it's still a free country (Barely). If that is what makes your clock chime, enjoy!!

I just bid and got one of those on auctionarms, cuerno, $325 seemed like a good deal. I guess I succumbed to Remington's marketing blitz...

The new Police Magnums come with one of those clam shell type trigger locks. It is not the PC safety that is on the Express.

None of the guns marketed for police use have the pc safety.
Remington supplies a separate clamshell type trigger lock with them. I have a bucket full of them. :-)

Multiple Audiences and Reputation Building in International Conflicts
Reputational theory of conflict behavior dates back to Schelling's seminal work on bargaining and continues to find both its advocates and critics to date. The authors do not take sides in this debate about the relevance of reputation for bargaining behavior but rather take a modified approach to reputations for resolve and probe some aspects that were largely underexplored in past research. The authors develop the argument that, if facing multiple strategic rivals and having failed in past disputes, a state has an incentive to invest in its reputation for resolute behavior by initiating and escalating conflicts. Their focus is then on both general and immediate deterrence, and while it was standard to tie reputation to a deterrer's past, the authors direct the attention to the challenger's reputation as a potential motivator for its conflictual behavior. This new focus is validated, and the related expectations supported, in the findings from their empirical analysis of strategic rivalries from 1816 to 1999.
