WILDWOOD - The Wildwood Catholic High School girls basketball team earned what may turn out to be its biggest victory of the season at Wildwoods Convention Center on Saturday night.
No matter how the Crusaders fare in their next 20 games, they can enjoy the fact that they earned bragging rights over rival Wildwood.
Wildwood Catholic jumped to an early lead and withstood a Warriors rally during a 56-40 victory in the Andrew Alameno Girls Island championship game of the Boardwalk Basketball Classic.
The game is named in honor of Andrew Alamedo, a Wildwood Crest native and 1982 Wildwood Catholic graduate who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.
"Regardless of the records, this is always a big game," said Wildwood coach Dave Troiano, who is in his 35th season. "The kids really get after it."
An enthusiastic crowd featuring fans from Wildwood Crest, Wildwood, North Wildwood and West Wildwood cheered from the bleachers and the barriers behind one of the baselines. Each shot, rebound and foul elicited roars or groans, depending on the fans' allegiance.
The game has taken on an even bigger meaning since Wildwood moved from the Cape-Atlantic League to the Tri-County Conference in 2002-2003. The teams started playing just once a year three years ago.
"We know each other very well and that just adds to the game," Wildwood Catholic junior forward Katie McCallion said. "We were nervous all day. This is such a big game and you never know what's going to happen."
That unpredictability produced an exciting finish to what initially appeared to be a blowout.
Wildwood Catholic (2-2) looked headed to an easy victory in the first half. McCallion and sophomore forward Olivia Rulon combined for 19 first-half points in helping the Crusaders storm to a 25-10 halftime lead.
Wildwood (2-2) scored just three points in the first quarter and shot 3-for-24 from the field in the first half.
Then junior guard Jessica Freeman led the Warriors on an impressive comeback. Freeman scored 17 of her game-high 22 points during a 14-minute span to lead Wildwood back into contention.
McCallion's 3-point play gave the Crusaders a 19-point lead at 36-17 midway through the third quarter. Freeman then scored 14 of Wildwood's next 15 points during a 16-4 surge that cut the deficit to six points at 40-34 with 5 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in regulation.
Wildwood Catholic coach Vicki Dillmore called timeout.
"I was getting very worried at that point, but I couldn't let the girls know that," said Dillmore, a 1990 Wildwood graduate who played for Troiano and was a teammate of Wildwood assistant coach Teresa (Polini) Cunniff. "They feed off me, so I can't freak out. I didn't want them to fall apart and freeze, so I just let them know that they were letting Wildwood back into the game.
"This is always an emotional game for the two schools. It's been that way even before I played in it. It's a very special game for me because I'm coaching against my mentor. I learned so much from him. I've known coach Troiano since I was in the fourth grade."
Dillmore's message was well-received.
Rulon scored the Crusaders' first points of the fourth quarter on a jumper with 4:49 to play. Wildwood Serena Seijo converted a pass from Freeman to cut the lead back to six, but then Wildwood Catholic went on a 12-2 run to clinch the win.
Rulon led the Crusaders with 18 points while McCallion added 14 points and 13 rebounds. Freeman finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Warriors, who scored 21 of their 40 points on foul shots.
"Our kids could have packed it in when we got so far down, but they kept fighting and I'm proud of them for doing that," Troiano said. "They just have to learn that you have to play basketball for 32 minutes if you want to be successful."

Take a gander at the first poster for "House at the End of the Street", from all appearances a pretty generic looking thriller (trailer above, in case you missed it the first time 'round), save for the fact that it stars "The Hunger Games'" Jennifer Lawrence. And, uh, some other people, too.
Seeking a fresh start, newly divorced Sarah (Oscar®-nominee Elisabeth Shue; Leaving Las Vegas, Piranha 3D) and her daughter Elissa (Oscar®-nominee Jennifer Lawrence; The Hunger Games, X-Men: First Class) find the house of their dreams in a small, upscale, rural town. But when startling and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret. Years earlier, in the house next door, a daughter killed her parents in their beds, and disappeared – leaving only a brother, Ryan (Max Thieriot, My Soul to Take), as the sole survivor. Against Sarah's wishes, Elissa begins a relationship with the reclusive Ryan – and the closer they get, the deeper they're all pulled into a mystery more dangerous than they ever imagined.
Also starring Elisabeth Shue, Max Thieriot, Gil Bellows, and directed by Mark Tonderai.

Collie flashes skills at BYU Pro Day
Published: March 11th, 2009 | Tags: Austin Collie, BYU, Ray Feinga
Austin Collie, 24 years old because he went on a Mormon mission while in college, made his mark in positional drills at his workout. He apparently wowed the scouts with his catching ability. The 6-foot-1 1/8, 196-pound wideout ran a 4.53 and a 4.54 in the 40-yard dash and did the short shuttle in 4.07 seconds. He stood on everything else he did at the combine.
Bengals running backs coach Jim Anderson was there to work out in conjunction with RB Fui Vakapuna. He worked out, as all the players did, indoors on FieldTurf and could be more of a fullback in the NFL. He measured in at 5-11 ¼, 244 pounds and ran a 4.83 and a 4.84 in the 40. He had a 34-inch vertical and a 9-foot, 2-inch broad jump, 29 bench press reps, a 4.40 short shuttle and a 7.37 three-cone drill.
Other notable players:
OL Dallas Reynolds (6-4 3/8, 309) ran a 5.34 and 5.28 in the 40, had a 30-inch vertical jump, an 8-foot, 2-inch broad jump, a 5.03 short shuttle, a 7.59 three-cone drill and put up 20 bench presses.
OL Travis Bright (6-4 1/4, 317) did not run the 40 or do jumps. He had a 4.56 short shuttle, a 7.87 three-cone drill and 35 bench press reps.
OL Rey Feinga (6-4 1/4, 329) pulled his left hamstring and only lifted. He had 29 bench press reps.

Sorry for the hyperbole; I should have qualified that ridiculous statement with "...on my machines." No doubt the problem has something to do with configuration, because I don't know much about that. One of my machines is running PG 8.1 on Linux Fedora Core 5. It's got an AMD 64bit CPU with a GB RAM and plenty of normal disk space (not running RAID 5). The other machine is running Linux FC9 and PG 8.3. It's got a i686 cpu with a GB RAM and also not using RAID. Since I don't understand much about configuring PostgreSQL, both of these machines use the default PostgreSQL configuration. I figured that it was optimized for general use but maybe since my files are large-ish (in the low multi-million record ranges) mayb ethta doesn't qualify as general use. Anyway, here's the configuration settings you mentioned. Shared_buffers are = 1000 #checkpoint_segments = 3 #checkpoint_timeout = 300 #checkpoint_warning = 30 What should I be looking for in the configuration to improve UPDATE performance?

Montana DPHHS Issues Rabies Warning, Names Likely Carriers
The Montana Department of Health and human Services is warning Montanans to be aware of rabies this spring.
"We recommend that you avoid touching all wild animals unless you have protective equipment," said Epidemiologist Elton Mosher. "In the latter stages of the disease, the animals do act somewhat confused and disoriented and may have neurological symptoms, but the average lay person isn't going to be able to tell that."
Rabies has a very high fatality rate and the best defense for pets is to get them vaccinated. When it comes to wild animals, some species are more likely to carry the disease than others.
"Fortunately we haven't had any rabies related deaths in humans since 1996 and 1997," Mosher said. "We had one each in those years. In Missoula county, by and large the biggest risk for your residents there is coming into contact with bats."
Mosher says that skunks also have a high number of rabies cases and are even more likely than bats to carry the disease in the eastern half of the state.

The object ids and the measured properties for the inverters and sensors connected to the SMA Webbox can be obtained in a word format log generated from the SMA Sunny Webbbox RPC Client.
Follow the steps mentioned here to obtain the log from RPC Client;
1. Download the SMA Sunny Webbox RPC Client to the computer. Please also ensure that you have Wireshark downloaded into the computer as it is a very important utility which is required to capture the communication logs between computer and SMA Webbox.
2. Ensure that all the inverters and sensors are connected to SMA Webbox properly.
3. Connect the SMA Webbox to the Computer using Ethernet Cable. At this point, ensure that the first three sections of the IP Address of computer are same as those for the IP Address of SMA Webbox.
4. Open RPC Client, a window as shown below appears;
At this point, start capturing the wireshark logs and let it continue in the background.
5. Go to 'Connection' Menu and click on 'Connect via HTTP ..' and the following screen appears;
6. Enter the IP Address of the SMA Webbox and click 'OK'. Wait until all the inverters and sensors connected to SMA Webbox are generated in a list on the left-hand side window of the RPC Client main screen.
In Figure – 3 below, all the connected inverters and sensors can be seen generated in the left-hand side window of the main screen of SMA Sunny Webbox RPC Client (the window in the background), under the heading 'Plant'.
The highlighted window that reads on top as "Select channels for SN: ….." is obtained by double-clicking on a particular inverter or a sensor in that hierarchy generated on the left-hand side window of the main screen of SMA Sunny Webbox RPC Client, and it shows the "Available Channels" in a particular inverter or sensor.
7. Once it can be observed that all the objects are generated in left-hand side window, go to 'File' Menu and click on 'Save log …' and save the log at a proper location. This log is in word format.
At this point, stop the wireshark log and save the wireshark log at the same location where the word format log from RPC Client is saved.
Before, sending us the word format log obtained from RPC Client and wireshark log, please contact us (call us at: +1-778-370-3882) whilst you are still near the assembly (on site), so that we can ensure that the log has all the information which is required for the configuration preparation.

Let me start by saying i love my husband, with all my heart.
but sometimes i think about killing him ( not actually haha i scared you )
NO he is a great man but really sometime i feel like maybe i made the wrong choice, you see i gave up everything because i wanted to be a mom,
i dont know why i just did.. so i think i grabbed the first boy friend
i could to be a father.My friends my job anything and everything i used to be.
so i could be just a wife and a mom... but now i feel torn, i feel like my husband is
not thank full that i sacrificed everything for our family. He works late
goes out and 8 out of 10 times he is home he is a jerk. he makes little
jokes how i dont look like i did or how he says "fat", and never takes
anything i say seriously. he is a good guy when he is nice though
every once in awhile he becomes the guy i feel in love with again
and even if its just for a minute it still manages to make me forget everything.
But then theres days like today he once again makes me feel like crap..
apart of me wants to leave him but i never wanted my son to not have a father.
Am i over reacting? should i leave him? or is it smart to just forget the whole thing
but a smile on my face and hold our family together.
That is such a hard place to be, relationships are a big challenge. As the child of parents who stayed together for the kids, then got divorced when we left home, I would say you should leave him. It doesn't do anyone good staying with someone you don't want to be with, especially if he is disrespectful of you. You don't want your son seeing this behavior, and you shouldn't have to live with it either.Your son could still have a father, even if you separate. Your DH could still be involved, or you could still meet some one else, who will be a wonderful father and role model for him.
If you really felt like your DH could change, and you wanted to try to make your relationship work, then I would suggest counselling. But, if you just feel like you didn't marry him for the right reasons, and he's not the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, than I wouldn't. People change throughout there lives, and sometimes that means couples growing apart. There is nothing wrong with that, and you would/could both likely meet others who your're happy with.
Whatever you do, I wouldn't just try to ignore it for your DS's sake, that isn't fair to any of you. Good luck, and hugs, this is not an easy decision.
It sounds like he says things that belittle you. You mention that he's mostly a jerk when he's at home - is that the sort of thing he says/does most of the time? Because that's not okay, and belittling someone is not a mark of a "great" man.
Is he good with the kids (although I don't believe that setting a poor example by insulting their mother is good for the kids) - meaning, does he give them attention, etc. If so, your children would certainly still have a father if you separated or divorced. Visitation arrangements see to that.
I don't think you're overreacting. Not knowing the extent of his comments or actions, I coudn't advise which way to go, but I do know that people who love each other don't insult each other and try make light of the other person's feelings. If this is an ongoing dynamic, then I would definitely consider leaving. Children don't need to see that.

Re Gail Beckett's Dec. 5 letter:
Ms. Beckett should direct her anger (about military health care) to the correct source. Our (federal) government is the one yanking it away, not Augusta.
I agree with Ms. Beckett on how the retirees are being treated. My husband is over 65 so he isn't eligible for Tri-Care. They have been providing home oxygen to him and others who need it. We received a letter last week telling him it was necessary to discontinue some of the services they have provided him in the past.
The home oxygen has been discontinued because of reductions in funding. I wonder how many started smoking when the government passed out cigarettes in C-Rations.
Our government spends millions to help other countries but have turned their back on the ones who helped fight for this country.

Dear Dr. Zipes: In a prior response, you explained that caffeine, alcohol, energy drinks, and sometimes swallowing, coughing, or an upset stomach may cause irregular heart rhythms. Can you provide a list or direct me to a web site listing other foods that may cause an irregular heart beat? Might sneezing also trigger the problem?
Dear Reader: The short list I gave includes the most common food offenders. Sometimes food can trigger arrhythmias indirectly. For example, if you ate something that caused severe diarrhea and vomiting, you could develop electrolyte abnormalities, such as low potassium or low magnesium that can cause irregular heart beats, particularly in individuals with underlying heart or pulmonary diseases, or who are taking heart medications. There are also a host of drugs that can cause irregular heart rhythms, depending on an individual person's sensitivity, including diuretics, heart medications like digitalis or antiarrhythmic drugs taken to prevent arrhythmias, and—in susceptible individuals—even the relatively harmless antibiotic erythromycin. Ephedra (now banned in the United States and some other countries) or similar drugs in energy drinks can precipitate arrhythmias, some of which can be life threatening. Illegal street drugs like cocaine or amphetamines can cause arrhythmias and even sudden death. A Web site for drugs to avoid for individuals with an ECG abnormality called long QT syndrome can be found at arizonacert.org. In general, people with a normal heart who eat a normal diet and eat and drink approved substances in moderation have nothing to worry about. Sneezing could cause an arrhythmia. If you are interested in learning more about arrhythmias, watch the second segment of David Grubin's Emmy award-winning PBS documentary, The Mysterious Human Heart, during which we talk about heart rhythm problems.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Daytime sleepiness [ Time Frame: baseline and 3 months after CPAP initiation ]The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is an 8-item questionnaire that assesses daytime sleepiness.
- Sleep-related functional outcomes [ Time Frame: baseline and 3 months after CPAP initiation ]The Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire is 30-item questionnaire assesses the impact of sleep disorders of excessive sleepiness on multiple activities of everyday living. A total score and scores for five factors of functioning (e.g., activity, vigilance, intimacy and sexual relationships, general productivity, and social outcome) are obtained.
- Sleep quality [ Time Frame: baseline and 3 months after CPAP initiation ]The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a 19 item questionnaire that measures self-reported sleep quality and disturbances over the last 1 month time period. The questionnaire measures 7 components of sleep quality: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. A global PSQI score is obtained by summing the 7 component scores (range = 0-21). A PSQI global score > 5 indicates a poor sleeper.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) adherence [ Time Frame: one week and 3 months after CPAP initiation ]Adherence will be measured as the amount of time that the CPAP machine is turned on and maintained at prescribed pressure. The latter number represents the amount of time power is on and the mask is positioned properly on the face. All patients will be using a CPAP machine with remote monitoring capabilities. Adherence reports are automatically uploaded to a secure data center daily. Adherence data can be accessed through the web-based patient compliance management system, EncoreAnywhere.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Couple-oriented intervention
Patients randomly assigned to the couple-oriented (CO) group will attend two face to face sessions with their partner and participate in an individual telephone follow-up session.
Behavioral: Couple-oriented intervention
The first session will occur before the patient receives his/her CPAP and will last approximately 2 hours. This session will provide the couple with education on sleep apnea and CPAP and information on different types of PAP therapy and cleaning procedures, explore patient's concerns about starting CPAP treatment, and provide a goal setting exercise. The second face to face session will occur one week after the patient receives his/her CPAP and will last approximately one and a half hours. The second session will provide the couple with information on CPAP usage and pre- and post-treatment AHI, explore barriers to CPAP use and benefits of CPAP use, and provide a goal setting exercise. The individual telephone follow-up sessions will occur two weeks after the patient has received his/her CPAP and will last approximately 20 minutes. This session will review CPAP usage and explore barriers and facilitators of CPAP use.
No Intervention: Usual Care
Neither patients nor their partners will attend any intervention sessions.
Experimental: Patient-oriented intervention
Patients randomly assigned to the patient-oriented (PT) group will attend two face to face sessions and participate in a telephone follow-up session. Partners will not attend any intervention sessions.
Behavioral: Patient-oriented intervention
The first session will occur before the patient receives his/her CPAP and will last approximately one and a half hours. This session will provide the patient with education on sleep apnea and CPAP and information on different types of PAP therapy and cleaning procedures, explore patient's concerns about starting CPAP treatment, and provide a goal setting exercise. The second face to face session will occur one week after the patient receives his/her CPAP and will last approximately 45 minutes. The second session will provide information on CPAP usage and pre- and post-treatment AHI, explore barriers to CPAP use and benefits of CPAP use, and provide a goal setting exercise. The telephone follow-up session will occur two weeks after the patient has received his/her CPAP and will last approximately 20 minutes. This session will review CPAP usage and explore barriers and facilitators of CPAP use.
Detailed Description:
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but adherence is poor. CPAP adherence interventions to date have been met with limited success. Intervention strategies would be optimized by added support for patients and alternative strategies for intervention delivery. Significant others (SO) are likely to exert positive and negative effects on the patient's adoption and use of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy and are frequently described as the greatest source of social support for patients with chronic illness. Beginning the intervention before PAP initiation would capitalize on the teachable moment shortly following diagnosis when education and social support may be most essential. The aims of the research plan are to examine the effects of a couple-oriented education and support intervention on patient- and partner-reported outcomes as compared to a patient-oriented education and support intervention and usual care and to examine the relationship between PAP adherence and patients' and partners' sleep quality and daytime functioning. Patients in the pilot study will be randomized to the couple-oriented intervention, patient-oriented intervention, or standard clinical care group.

Okay, so I know it's only 4 days 'till race day, but I don't think my brain has registered this fully. I'm not too jittery, as I have been able to keep myself busy with cross training, and friends. It still feels like this coming weekend will be just like any other normal/usual weekend. Is something wrong with me? Is this normal?
Up until this year I had only allowed myself to run one marathon per year (CIM), and the week before the race I always find myself feeling a bit anxious, thinking too much about all the potential outcomes, trying to determine my tentative mile splits, keeping myself from thinking negative about race day. But this year has been different, Chicago will be my 2nd of 3 marathons, added to 3 ultras, and 4 half marathons. Is it possible to outrun the race week jitters with too many races?
Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited to go and run this race, but I guess I'm not as preoccupied about the outcome. I would love to PR, but if I don't it wouldn't be the end of the world. I would love to BQ again, but if I don't, I would be okay with that since I've already had the chance to be part of the most amazing race (Boston Marathon).
This unusual zen-like state of mind is throwing me off a bit. Is it normal?
Happy Running!

Idaho college students involved in farm research
REXBURG, Idaho (AP) - Brigham Young University-Idaho agronomy students participate in a wide range of crops studies to make farming easier and more cost-effective for growers.
Their studies are conducted in cooperation with agribusinesses or research universities such as University of Idaho. The goal of the studies is to provide a service for Idaho's agricultural community and improve students' ability to do agronomy research.
After months of planting, monitoring and information gathering, students are finalizing the initial findings from more than a dozen studies. Students presented their projects last week to industry professionals, university professors and students in Rexburg.
The Post Register reports that some of the projects have potentially far-reaching impacts because the program includes international students who are learning advanced agricultural practices to take back to their home countries.

Originally posted on Seahawk Addicts | Last updated 8/8/13
Training camp has been going strong for a while now, but for me it never feels like football season is truly back until the Seahawks take the field for their first preseason game. Well, as of 7:00 Pacific tonight, football will be officially back when the Seahawks' square off against their old AFC West division opponents the Chargers. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm watching the clock today like an office drone ticking off the minutes 'til quitting time on a slow Friday. It's been a long, strange offseason, and I mean that in a good way. I say that partly because the national media has spent the entire summer worshipping at the feet of Russell Wilson, and partly because all the offseason pieces I had planned on writing ended up getting tossed in the wastebin by the demands of caring for a newborn. So it goes. That newborn is now close to four months old and on a steady, predictable sleep schedule, so you can consider me back, relatively rested, and itching to write. I'll admit, having the spotlight permanently turned on our favorite team from South Alaska feels a bit weird and uncomfortable. There's no flying under the radar as underdogs this year: everyone knows the Hawks are a team to be taken seriously, and coaches around the league will be working themselves harder than ever to gameplan against them. And you know what? We'd better damn well get used to it. The 2012 season started with us just hoping for our little team from South Alaska to bust out of the 7-9 doldrums, but it ended with the certain knowledge that the Hawks' Super Bowl window is wide open – and seeing as how Pete Carroll and John Schneider have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams in building this team around a young, talented core of players, that window is going to remain open for years to come. In short, life is looking pretty goddamn awesome right about now. Anyway, when kickoff finally arrives tonight, here's the main positions I'll be watching, along with some jersey numbers for some of the newer and/or less well-known folks on the roster: (To continue reading, please click on "Continue Reading" below.) 1) Kick & Punt Returner We've been spoiled the last few years by having one of the greatest kick returners of all time in Leon Washington on the roster, but he was let got this offseason in a cost-cutting move (hey, you've got to pay for all those talented young players somehow, right?). CB Will Blackmon (#37) has some chops in the return game, but is also fairly injury-prone. WR Golden Tate would be interesting, but how often do you want to risk hurting one of your starting wideouts on special teams plays? WR Bryan Walters (#19) and CB Jeremy Lane are also listed on the team's current depth chart as returners, so keep an eye out for them. 2) Pass Rusher With double-digit sack artist Chris Clemons still recovering from knee surgery, someone is going to have to step up and harass the QB – ideally, several someones. High profile arrivals DE Cliff Avril (#56) and DL Michael Bennett (#72) are the main guys to watch here, assuming they see much playing time tonight. There's a huge opportunity to shine here for all the other would-be Leo DEs and 3-tech DTs on the roster. Greg Scruggs and Bruce Irvin will hopefully make appearances on the stat sheet tonight, but some other guys to look out for are ex-Cardinals LB O'Brien Schofield (#93), second year DT Jaye Howard (#94), backup LB and special teamer Mike Morgan (#57), and rookie DE Benson Mayowa (#95). When you get right down to it, I don't care who shows up here so long as I get to see Seahawks jerseys converging on the Chargers' QBs all night long. San Diego's offensive line has more holes than a wire fence, and if the guy under center doesn't spend a lot of time running for his life, well, that'll tell us something, too. 3) Linebacker One of the few open starting positions on the team is Leroy Hill's old spot at outside linebacker. Malcolm Smith (#53) seems to be the frontrunner, but I expect Irvin, Kyle Knox (#43), and possibly even Allen Bradford (#52) to make a push for the job. Bradford will be getting a lot of reps at middle linebacker tonight in place of an injured Bobby Wagner, so although we likely won't see him play OLB we'll still be getting a good, long look at his skills as a 'backer. 4) Tight End With starter Zach Miller nursing an injury and last year's backup TE Anthony McCoy long since departed on an injury waiver, it's open season for all the other tight ends on the roster. Luke Willson (#82) has been getting most of the buzz throughout training camp, but Sean McGrath (#84) and Cooper Helfet (#48) both impressed in preseason action last year and I expect to see more of the same from them this time around. Also on the roster are 6'7" ex-basketball player Darren Fells (#88), local product Andrei Lintz (#38), and perennial camp body Jameson "I play forty different positions" Konz (#47). I don't know enough to know what to expect from either Fells for Lintz, but I expect very little from Konz. 5) Offensive Guard There's a bit of a logjam at the guard position this year, but you're already familiar with the major contenders: James Carpenter, John Moffitt, Paul McQuistan, and J.R. Sweezy. If Carpenter can stay healthy, his size and strength make him a virtual lock for the starting lineup, but seeing as how he'll be missing tonight's game with a foot injury he isn't exactly off to a good start. McQuistan is bog standard: he isn't horrible, but he isn't great, either. If he ends up with one of the starting jobs, it'll be because all the other guys failed to outperform his baseline play. Moffitt has been a disappointment so far, both in terms of durability and on-field competence, but he's young and still has time to develop into a decent player. Sweezy has gotten a lot of attention, both for his DL-to-OL conversion story and his raw physical ability, but he still has yet to prove that he's developed the savvy and technique he needs to capitalize on his potential. Beyond those four, Rishaw Johnson (#63) is also a possibility. The team kept him around as a developmental player last year and the coaches seem to be fairly high on his potential, but I simply haven't seen or heard enough about him to voice an opinion about him.
PLAYERS: Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll, Leon Washington, Will Blackmon, Golden Tate, Bryan Walters, Jeremy Lane, Chris Clemons, Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, Greg Scruggs, Bruce Irvin, Jaye Howard, Benson Mayowa, LeRoy Hill, Malcolm Smith, Kyle Knox, Allen Bradford, Bobby Wagner, Zach Miller, Anthony McCoy, Luke Willson, Sean McGrath, Cooper Helfet, Darren Fells, Andrei Lintz, James Carpenter, John Moffitt, Paul McQuistan, JR Sweezy, Rishaw Johnson

The University of Houston Department of Intercollegiate Athletics Marketing, Promotions and Sales office were named the American Marketing Association of Houston's 2010 Marketer of the Year at a banquet, Monday evening at the Alley Theatre.
The office, which is run by Assistant Athletic Director Rob Stewart, was named the Best of Category winner for the amateur sports/entertainment division for the second-straight year and then took home the overall Marketer of the Year honor after beating out 41 other category winners. UH beat out such strong and reputable companies as Continental Airlines, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Halliburton, MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Houston Rockets.
"This in an incredible honor that speaks to the progress we have made as an athletic department," said Director of Athletics Mack Rhoades. "It was a major emphasis of this past year to increase the number of people we have viewing Cougar sporting events and creating that affinity with our fan base. Rob's (Stewart) staff, the rest of our external relations group and many terrific volunteers made great inroads in those efforts. It is very nice to have an organization like the AMA recognize those achievements."
The award lauded the efforts of UH Athletics in its nation-leading football season ticket increase of 82 percent from 6,300 in 2009 to 11,500 in 2010. During the 2010 season, the Cougars sold out five of its six home games, for the first time in school history. It also honored the efforts of the first-ever Seat 'Em Up Drive, which utilized loyal UH ticket holders and donors to create new Cougar fans to the tune of 2,200 tickets.
The Marketing, Promotions and Sales office consists of assistant directors Greg Brungardt and Tory Teykl, former assistant director Brice Wiley and intern Tamara Sherrod.

I did this procedure after having blephorplasty which left me with loose skin and wrinkles. The bags under my eyes were pretty bad.
I truly did not see a difference with the laser peel and it did hurt. I have seen a little improvement with botox but not as much as I would like. I am looking for a skin tightening procedure for this without the down time as in Fraxel:repair.

Insomniac is an incredibly talented development studio, responsible for one of the PS3's best games in the form of Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, but developing the PS3's premier FPS is something else entirely. With the console war more heated than ever before certain games are held up as talismans - a reason to buy one console over another - and Sony simply hasn't had an FPS to compete with the might of Microsoft's Halo. It tried first with Killzone on the PS2 and failed, and now Resistance flies the flag for the PS3. Although the original game proved to be a stellar launch title, is the sequel the system seller FPS Sony needs?
This sequel picks up where the last game ended, with hero Nathan Hale an exhausted, almost beaten figure of a man. The alien race known as the Chimera, which focussed its assault on the UK in the first game, is this time attacking the East and West coast of the US, so it's up to you as Hale and a special Sentinel task force to stop them. Things are hard enough, but Hale is also always having to contend with the Chimeran virus that gradually takes hold of him throughout the campaign. Once again the alternate reality history means that the world in the 1950s is very different to how it actually was, with more advanced weapons and technology at your disposal.
One of the key differences to the original is the diversity of the campaign levels, with Hale being taken to all manner of locations, from run down cities to swamps and alien space ships. This has allowed Insomniac to move away from the many hues of brown that more or less defined the original. Diversity is good, but Resistance 2 struggles to tie everything together, with the campaign feeling quite disjointed. The storyline in the original failed to make too much of an impact on us, mainly due to the lead character's lack of likeability. Insomniac has worked on making Hale a more rounded character (who actually speaks this time), but even after two games we struggled to feel a connection to him as the hero.
This doesn't stop the core first-person gameplay being solid and from time to time quite exhilarating. The majority of fun stems from the weapons you'll get access to, with many old favourites returning (the homing bullet Bullseye and through wall shooting Auger being two of the best) alongside a load of excellent newcomers. Your own play style will determine which you prefer, but at times it's incredibly hard to decide which two you want to carry - sadly Insomniac has adopted a Halo-style two weapon approach. Our favourites of the newcomers include the superb Marksman, a long-range battle rifle; a brilliant Magnum revolver that allows you to detonate bullets on secondary fire; and the Wraith gattling gun, complete with shield on secondary fire. Top these off with some brilliant grenades and you've got an arsenal every FPS would be jealous of. Insomniac has always excelled at creating brilliant weapons and Resistance 2 is no exception.
This is all well and good, but good weapons need great levels and enemies, or they're useless. Resistance 2 has a bit of both, but isn't nearly consistent enough to take it into classic status. Enemies come thick and fast, are big and small, and generally behave intelligently - although from time to time they seem intent on killing you instead of the many team mates that stand in between. A few of of the large battles are great, but there are too many generic levels that could have come from any FPS of the last five years, and a number of cheap kill enemies that really serve no purpose other than to inject some unfair difficulty.
One new enemy, the Predator-like Chameleon, comes at you cloaked and makes the screen shake due to its heavy footsteps. This could have made for some brilliantly tense gameplay, with one or more of these beasts hunting you down, but what you get is a few moments where a handful come at you in turn, with you either shooting them dead in half a second or you being instantly killed. It's essentially a great enemy (although not exactly original), completely wasted. A water-based beast is equally strange, in that it will instantly kill you if you get near it, but you can't kill it. Even if you pump bullets into it while stood on dry land, just feet from it, it won't die.
Resistance 2's campaign doesn't really get going properly until you reach Chicago, with a big chunk of the game prior to that being fairly tame and disappointing. It's almost as if different teams made a few levels each, as the quality varies so much. Had every level matched Chicago in terms of thrilling, tense gameplay and visually impressive set pieces, we'd have had a real contender on our hands. Chicago mixes adrenaline pumping sections against wave after wave of stampeding Chimera, impressive level design and the best visuals the game has to offer. It's a level that shows what Resistance could become and highlights just how weak other parts of the game are - and don't get us started on the final, incredibly underwhelming boss battle.
As we've already touched on, visually Resistance 2 is an incredibly mixed experience. At its best it stands up with the best on the PS3, with highly detailed characters and enemies, spectacular set pieces and a unique style. At other times levels look bare, textures are rough and clash with one another, the lighting appears flat and the environment seems to have been put together rather hastily. Some of the worst offenders are the large boss enemies you'll fight, with a few in particular not nearly detailed enough for what is thought to be the most powerful console on the market. Certain stages also suffer from pretty terrible aliasing, with jagged edges appearing all over the place. One level seemed to suffer from this in a rather extreme way, and also saw smoke popping into view and lighting switching so quickly it was as if a light switch had been flicked.
Thankfully the single-player campaign is just part of the package, with Resistance 2 also including a separate co-op campaign for up to eight players (two on a single system), complete with unique class-based gameplay, and competitive multiplayer for up to 60 players. The sixty player competitive play is well done, with players competing in squads at different locations on the map. This might seem like cheating slightly (at times it feels like you're playing in much smaller games), but Insomniac should still be applauded for offering something that rival first-person shooters don't even come close to. This objective-based Skirmish mode is joined by the usual suspects, online performance is good and leaderboards are there to keep track of how you compare with the rest of the world. MyResistance.net is also available as a resource for all the stats you'd ever want, serving a similar purpose to Bungie.net for Halo 2 and 3.
Perhaps the most exciting and unique part of the game is the eight-player co-op, in which you choose from three classes (medic, solider and special ops) and level up your character as you progress. Encounters scale to who you're playing with (things won't be so tough if you're playing split-screen two-player co-op compared to a full eight-player co-op session) and objectives change from game to game, making this something you'll be able to come back to over and over again. All co-op games rely on teamwork, but here it's perhaps even more essential than usual. To succeed you'll need to make the most of each character class' abilities (thankfully you can change class at any point and not lose any progress you've made with your character).
In what is a similar set up to an RPG or MMO, you earn XP for kills, but you'll also earn it for doing what your character is designed for. Spec ops, for example, can re-supply soldiers with ammo, so doing this will earn XP, while medics will obviously earn XP for reviving fallen comrades. The more XP you earn, the better your ranking, and the more new weapons and Berserk powers you'll unlock. These Berserk powers play a vital role in the trickiest sections of the co-op campaign, in particular the medic's ring of health, that heals everyone that stands within the circular zone. Overall, co-op is a very different experience and, while not for everyone (especially those that wanted a more traditional co-op experience), is a brave move on Insomniac's part.
If you own a PS3 then there's no doubt that you should pick up Resistance 2. It's a solid FPS, with moments of brilliance and some top notch multiplayer modes. It isn't the system seller it could have been though. The campaign is the biggest offender, switching between mediocre and spectacular far too regularly, as does the presentation. The storyline and characters once again fall flat, with Insomniac failing to build anything to really care about into a sci-fi premise that has an awful lot of potential. There's plenty here to work with; we just hope Insomniac finally puts all the pieces together for the inevitable third game.

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
How do i unlock the secret secretary theme?
I know it tells you the answer in cheats but for some reason when I start turning the control clockwise, I dont hear the chime sound. Can someone please help me.
reaperdeathgod - 8 years ago
Top Voted Answer
The secretary theme IS REAL!!! Press START/PAUSE at the title screen and select a file to use. Go to OPTIONS on the start menu. Then, rotate the control stick around in circles, and keep doing this until you hear a chime sound. Then go to the theme selection and you should see the icon of the secretary. Choose this to get the secret secretary theme. Her picture will be in the background and she says different things when you go into different modes of the game. Hope this helps!

Dear Reaperdeathgod , i don't get the secretary theme either. i think it is fake, though, it might rely on the version of the game, or your progress. -reylly
reyllyoc - 8 years ago
You can also mess around a bit more like leave and enter the screen,and keep going left and right. messing around might help too.
reyllyoc - 8 years ago

adriande2 - 8 years ago

Thunderstreak24 - 8 years ago

Johnsondaddy - 8 years ago
I got it recently on a brand new file, just go to theme select screen, and move the stick clockwise for about 30 seconds, then a chime sounds and the theme just appears there.
Darkspawn980J - 8 years ago

An Integrated Strategy to Reduce Monitoring and Enforcement Costs
A policy of effective environmental protection, inthe present political atmosphere, will requirelow-cost monitoring and enforcement (M&E) strategiesthat do not rely on draconian penalties. Infinite oreven very high penalties for environmental violationsare socially and politically unacceptable.Environmental violations are often classed as civiloffenses, and the occurrence of a violation may bethought insufficient to establish intent. If penaltiesare upper-bounded and each firm is inspected randomly,compliance cannot be maintained with arbitrarily smallinspection probabilities and, hence, small agencycosts. In this paper we examine possibilities forreducing agency M&E costs, including the requirementfor self-reports of effluents and the adjustment ofthe inspection probability to reflect a firm'scompliance or reporting reputation.

Great Lakes Pulp Co. (GLP) and Beltech Recycling L.P., formerly known as American Fiber Resources (AFR), have agreed to merge ownership into a holding company that will manage the activities of both deinked market pulp mills. GLP's shareholders and AFR Holdco, the parent holding company of AFR approved the merger plan, which actually went into effect near the end of August.
Lars Dannberg, president and CEO of GLF (Menominee, MI), will serve as president of the consolidated companies. According to Dannberg, the consolidation "positions the companies to achieve preeminent status in the deinked market pulp industry with synergies and economies of scale. We believe this is the first step toward consolidation of this fragmented industry."
He added that "our majority shareholders, Cerberus Partners, L.P., and Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, assisted both GLF and AFR in the development of financial restructuring and recapitalization plans that were implemented through pre-negotiated Chapter 11 filings."
In a related move, shareholders of the parent holding company elected a new board of directors. The newly elected directors are: Brian Berman, asst. VP, Oaktree Capital Management; Lars Dannberg, president and CEO, Great Lakes Pulp; Sven-Erik Henriksson, president S.E.H. Engineering; Malcolm Hopkins, private investor and consultant; Stuart Lang, CEO, Great Lakes Pulp and vice chairman, Crestbrook Forest Industries Inc.; and Joyce Johnson Miller, managing director, Cerberus Partners. The holding company is expected to be renamed within the next few weeks.
The Great Lakes mill has an average daily production of 520 tons/day of bleached, deinked, air-dried market pulp from mixed office wastepaper, with the capacity to produce up to 745 tons/day. The mill uses a two-stage flotation deinking and a peroxide-anchored bleaching sequence.
The AFR mill (Sanford, WV) produces some 600 daily tons of air-dried, bleached, deinked market pulp from mixed office wastepaper, and has the deinking line capacity to produce 840 tons/day. It also has a two-stage flotation deinking system and a bleaching operation similar to that at the GLP mill.
Both companies' products are sold worldwide by Mead Pulp Sales for use in recycled fiber applications, and as a virgin pulp substitute. GLP is fully commissioned and AFR will be fully commissioned in the near future.

Tyreke Evans scored a season-high 29 points on 11-of-18 shooting (1-of-2 3PTs, 6-of-8 FTs) with four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in Friday's loss.
Fantasy owners don't have to worry about the effortless defense and the offense-killing decisions Evans makes, because nobody is going to tell him to stop what he's doing and we're not kidding. If he played for Gregg Popovich, we'd be scared for the coach's health.

In Memoriam: Hilary Araujo: 1945-2011
Hilary Araujo's first love was photography. In his high school days he was a staff photographer for the school newspaper and ran a small business providing rush overnight processing and enlargements for a local photo store. He entered Queens College shortly thereafter, but family events and the Vietnam War intervened, and he served with distinction in the Air Force for four years (1965-1969), was present during the Tet Offensive, and departed the military with the rank of Staff Sergeant. He then resumed his passion for photography by studying at the Germain School of Photography and found work as a studio assistant at Conrad Studios in Manhattan after graduating. After three years (1971-1974) he had risen to the position of staff photographer, but felt it was time to move on, so he signed on with Berkey Marketing Co., a premier manufacturing and marketing company representing Arriflex, Linhof, Ascor, and Omega. He managed Berkey's in-house studio for three years, and eventually was offered and accepted a position as product manager.
In 1984 he accepted the position of vice president of marketing with GMI Photographic, in charge of promoting its professional line of products including Bronica, Horseman, Sea & Sea underwater cameras, and Cullmann tripods. He held that position for 10 years before CEO Richard Darrow, an old buddy from Berkey days, offered him a top marketing position at ToCAD, then in Parsippany, New Jersey. Araujo remained with ToCAD from 1995-2004, and was a key to its successful expansion and diversification. In 2004 he gratefully accepted an executive marketing position offered by Steve Tiffen, president and CEO of The Tiffen Company.
In recognition of his service to the motion picture industry he was just named an Associate Member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC), an unprecedented honor for anyone who was not actually a working cinematographer.
The life of Hilary Araujo represents an unsurpassed record of accomplishment as an esteemed marketing executive, as a loving husband and father, as an American, and as a human being. His was truly a life of service and he has given unstintingly and generously to help others both in and outside the imaging industry he loved. He was a consummate gentleman whose brilliance, compassion, commitment to excellence and hard work brought immense benefits to the companies he worked with and to the industry he loved. In all aspects of his life he set a lofty standard worthy of emulation and of the highest regard. This was a very special man who will be sorely missed by all those who had the privilege to know him and to work with him. Fortunately his legacy will live on in his good works and in his countless acts of loving-kindness.

Further service details are listed on the original paper records, now maintained in the archives' repository in Canberra and copies are available at a modest cost.
Navy service records typically comprise one or two hand-written cards, while army and air force records can run to numerous typed and hand-written pages.
Veterans Affairs Minister Danna Vale said the roll drew on the service records of all Australians who enlisted during the war to provide a valuable snapshot of the nation's wartime history.
"Generations of Australians will now be able to easily access information on the wartime service of family members," she said.
