Thievery Corporation
Saudade Vinyl LP
↳ theivery corp goes bossa nova
Thievery Corporation is going back to their roots. With Saudade (pronounced "sow-DAH-djee"), the D.C. duo's seventh studio album, Rob Garza and Eric Hilton return to the sound that brought them together in the first place - Bossa Nova. Drawing on influence from many of their favorite Brazilian producers like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gal Costa, and Luis Bonfa, Thievery Corporation write a heartfelt love letter to the smooth sounds of Brazil. With the help of a dozen or so guest musicians and five female vocalists (including longtime Thievery collaborator LouLou Ghelichkhani) TC achieves an authentic Bossa tone with a subtle new school touch, a testament to these dudes long-time skill behind the boards. Check the sound on "Meu Nego," "Bateau Rouge," "Sola In Citta," and many more. Recommended.

How to Manage Pests
UC Pest Management Guidelines
False Chinch Bug
Scientific name: Nysius raphanus
(Reviewed 10/14, updated 10/14)
In this Guideline:
The adult false chinch bug is a small bug, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) long. It is gray to light brown in color and looks somewhat like a small lygus bug. The nymph is gray with a reddish brown abdomen.
False chinch bugs can occur in high numbers on weeds within or adjacent to pistachio orchards. The eggs are laid randomly on the soil or within soil cracks near weeds. The false chinch bug spends the winter primarily in the immature stage (nymph) on weeds. As weeds dry in spring or are destroyed, chinch bugs migrate to pistachio trees where they feed. Nymphs predominate during migration but adults may also be present. Important weeds that serve as hosts include wild mustard, wild radish, shepherd's-purse, and London rocket. The most serious infestations result from spring migrations; however, fall migrations can also occur. Movement occurs in early morning or evening.
False chinch bugs can be a serious problem on newly planted pistachio trees, especially when cardboard or other trunk guards are used, which shelter the bugs during the day. In spring, they can build to very high densities. Their feeding can cause young trees to wilt and die. Feeding on older trees can cause leaves to drop.
Mowing ground cover before bloom can reduce false chinch bug (and small plant bug) populations. On newly planted trees, if bugs are so numerous that wilting is evident, a treatment is warranted. Treat either in the evening or early morning when chinch bugs are active. Treatments are more effective when trunk wraps are removed.

OAKWOOD -- After several close victories, the Gainesville boys basketball team showed on Tuesday what it can be like when the Red Elephants start to fire on all cylinders.
Relying on a suffocating defense and fast-break scoring, Gainesville overwhelmed Johnson in the second half en route to an 80-46 win in Oakwood.
"We're getting closer to what we want to be," said Red Elephants coach Todd Cottrell, still in the midst of his first season at Gainesville. "But we've still got a long way to go, which is exciting because of how good we can be."
The Red Elephants (10-7, 4-1 Region 7B-AAA) couldn't have looked much better just before and right after halftime, as they used a 23-2 blitz to turn a 17-14 lead into a 40-16 runaway.
Many of the baskets during the run -- which started midway through the second quarter -- came as a direct result of Gainesville's defense and rebounding, as turnovers and quick outlet passes led to easy lay-ups. For the game, the Red Elephants recorded 25 takeaways.
"We got some of that in the first quarter, but we didn't always convert," Cottrell said. "We also started to take care of the ball tonight, and that made a big difference."
With the ball in the hands of point guard Blake Sims Gainesville was a constant scoring threat -- but not in the usual way for the Red Elephants' second-leading scorer, as Sims dished out six assists and rarely put the ball in bad positions.
George Manomano scored a game-high 22 to lead 12 different Red Elephants in the scorebook -- nine of Manomano's points came during the third quarter, as Gainesville put the game out of reach. Nick Johnson also scored 12, while Juwon Jeffries added 11. And Sims scored nine -- seven in the first quarter.
The Knights (10-8, 2-3) tried to respond to the Red Elephants' big run, getting a 3-pointer from Chris Henry and a three-point play from Devaris Finch to pull within 42-26 with 2:18 left in the third quarter. But Gainesville continued to find easy baskets and regained a 51-29 lead at the end of the third quarter.
Devaris Finch scored 14 to lead Johnson, while Quintavious Cheek added eight.
Cheek sparked the Knights early, scoring all eight of his points in the first quarter on two 3-pointers and a pair of free throws. The baskets kept Johnson within striking distance after Gainesville opened with an 8-0 run.
The Red Elephants tried to pull away again early in the second quarter, pulling ahead 17-8 on Ty Redmon's 3-pointer. But Brandon and Devaris Finch rattled off six straight points between them to bring the game to 17-14 with 6:41 left in the half.
Then Jeffries and Manomano answered with back-to-back baskets and the Gainesville tidal wave was on.
"We feel a little blessed tonight that they didn't shoot the ball well," Cottrell said. "But we played pretty well and really executed well in the second half. We also rebounded really well between Nick [Johnson] and A.J. [Johnson]."
Gainesville will look to avenge its only subregion loss of the season on Friday night when Flowery Branch travels to meet the Red Elephants.
"At this point in the season the most important game we play is always the next game on the schedule," Cottrell said.
Johnson, meanwhile, will look to bounce back against East Hall at 8:30 p.m. Friday in Oakwood.

EVERYONE knows brushing your teeth helps you keep a bright smile – but it may also stop you losing your mind.
People with poor oral hygiene could be more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, according to a study.
Brain tissue from patients with the illness was found to be infected with bugs that cause gum disease.
Dentistry professor Stjohn Crean said: "The bacteria could be a trigger that sets off a chain reaction in people predisposed to dementia.
"People should pay particular attention to brushing and visiting the dentist to reduce the amount of bugs in their mouths – especially those with a history of dementia in their family."
The bug – Porphyromonas gingivalis – triggers an immune response in the brain, which destroys neurons and brings on symptoms such as memory loss and confusion, it is believed.
The bacterium is associated with gum disease and enters the bloodstream while eating – but especially when having dental treatment such as fillings and root canal surgery.
The University of Central Lancashire team found the bug was present in brain tissue of 10 people who had suffered dementia but absent in tissue of 10 people who had not.
It follows another study of 5500 elderly people which found those who brushed less than once a day were up to 65 per cent more likely to develop dementia than those who brushed three times a day.

Before Madelyn and Roy Dombrow left their home in Wesley Chapel on Black Friday morning, they punched "Brooksville'' into their car's GPS.
Then they hit the "places of interest" tab, and "right there on top was the Christmas House," said Madelyn Dombrow, standing in the store's entryway, surrounded by drifts of artificial snow.
"They aren't thinking of closing, are they? If they close it, what will Brooksville be known for?"
Probably not much.
Rogers' Christmas House Village put Brooksville on the venerable predecessor to the Global Positioning System device — what people used to call "the map." As for the city's other places of interest, none have the potential to draw a half-million people a year, as the as Christmas House reportedly did during the 1970s and '80s.
"We would be losing our biggest landmark," said Michael Heard, assistant to Dennis Wilfong, who holds the grand-sounding but unpaid position of Brooksville's ambassador of commerce and employment.
The Christmas House's importance to the city is the reason the two of them have come up with a plan — still "in the incubator stage," Heard said — to form a nonprofit organization to save the Christmas House.
This came about as Heard, co-owner of Silverthorn County Club, tried in recent months to sell private investors on the idea of buying the Christmas House, which is on the eastern edge of downtown.
All of them told her they didn't see how the store could make it as a business, but several said they'd be willing to help if it were run as a nonprofit. Heard and Wilfong have not yet created the tax-exempt organization and are not ready to name the prospective donors.
They also don't know how much money the nonprofit group needs to raise to buy the property from current owner Weiland Rogers, nephew of founder Margaret "Weenie" Ghiotto.
But with the real estate market in the shape it is, they hope to be able to negotiate a reasonable price (and Rogers said Friday that he's willing to listen to offers).
They have also formed a plan to compress the Christmas business into one or two of the five houses on the property, which would leave the other buildings available for related gift, clothing or antique stores.
The rent from the owners of these businesses — including, possibly, George Rodriguez, who has operated the Christmas House for 18 months — would pay for maintenance. It would also go toward resuming part of the marketing campaign that made Ghiotto a local legend and her business nationally famous.
When Wilfong, who recently visited Columbus, Ohio, mentioned where he was from, he got a reply familiar to any longtime Brooksville resident: "Oh, that's where the Christmas House is."
But we won't be hearing that for long unless somebody steps in to fix the place up. So, even though Rodriguez said he has no plans to close the Christmas House, it needs saving. That's especially true if, as Heard envisions, it will bring in enough customers to feed neighboring businesses and add vitality to the rest of the downtown shopping district.
Fortunately, the Christmas House was packed on Friday. Unfortunately, that forced me to find a spot in the back parking lot, where the potholes are large enough to support waist-high weeds.
Walk inside, look at the frosted branches and cotton snowbanks, and you still get the sense of magical transformation needed to persuade people to drive to Brooksville and pay more than they thought possible for Christmas ornaments. Look down, though, and you see stained, threadbare carpeting.
There is skunk vine in the flower beds and mildew and peeling paint on the outside walls of the houses, and, inside one of these houses, a leaky roof that has forced Rodriguez to seal off a large room.
"You're talking $30,000 or $40,000 to repair a roof, when it's not mine?" said Rodriguez, who rents the property from Rogers. "Are you crazy?"
He said Rogers needs to make the repairs. Rogers said that Rodriguez is operating on an 18-month-old rent-to-own agreement that calls for him to buy the property "as is."
Whoever is right, the bigger problem is that the business isn't bringing in enough money. Which is why, skeptical as I am of the idea of running a business as a charity, Heard's idea is worth a try.
Judging from the turnout on Friday, the Christmas House still has the power to draw people who seem to crave a shopping experience that, as Dombrow told me, "gets me in the spirit."
But the Christmas House needs help, because one busy day is not nearly enough to put it in the black.

Yesterday White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked about the ongoing problems with the Obamacare website and a no-bid contract awarded to another contractor. He replied that they are expending an enormous effort for the website to function properly for the "millions of Americans who so clearly demonstrated that they desire" Obamare. I wonder if he actually believes the things he says. Most of the people signing up for Obamacare plans are only doing so because their old plans were cancelled.

Friday, January 16, 2009 Getting Started in Blogosphere
I am a homemaker and a mother of two who are on the verge of flying the nest. Just had my 50th birthday.
In the Vedic period, I guess, it was around this age, that people opted for the 'vanprastha ashram'. This was the third ashram or phase of life, succeeding 'Brahmacharya ashram' (student phase), and 'Grihastha ashram' (householder phase). 'Vanprastha' literally means 'going to the forest'. The householder gradually relinquishes his responsibilities and rights in the household and allows the younger generation to take over, while he and his spouse move into a more contemplative mode of life. This phase precedes the last one- the 'Sanyas ashram' or the 'phase of renunciation' and is the mental and physical preparation for it. The fruit ripens and gradually disconnects from the branch of worldly life.
I can't say, the idea doesn't appeal to me right now. It made a lot of sense dividing the human life in these four distinct phases. Would have eliminated many conflicts and power struggles within the household, all those 'saas-bahu' scenarios. People would retire to the solitude and peace of the forests, assimilate their life experiences, contemplate and meditate. They would have the opportunity to associate and learn from sages who lived in those verdant environs. They depended on Ayurveda for curing their ailments so even that aspect would be well taken care of in the forests.
All this does appear rather tempting to me at this point in my life! An escape, a sanctuary from the humdrum daily existence, the same old routine of life which goes on and on, the never-ending cycle of chores and duties. So here I am, taking my first steps into Blogosphere, the modern version of the unknown forest, a world beyond my own small one. For a few hours everyday, I am planning to escape into this world and there is no knowing what I might find. So here goes!

One of the recent surprises from Funko was the addition of straight up action figures in a line they've called the Legacy Collection. They've started with Game of Thrones, with Series 1 already released into Barnes & Noble (and coming to wider retail next month). That wave consists of Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, The Hound, Tyrion Lannister, White Walker, and Ned Stark. At Toy Fair we got to see all of those in person, along with Series 2 and some new additions to the Collection! Series 2 features Arya Stark, Brienne of Tarth, Khal Drogo, Robb Stark, Daenerys Targaryen (blue dress), and Jaime Lannister. Next up is the addition of Magic: The Gathering, with the initial offering including the awesome Ajani Goldmane, Chandra Nalaar, Nissa Revane, Jace Beleren, Liliana Vess, and hulking Garruk Wildspeaker. Lastly, there's some silliness in the Legacy Collection with Fantastic Mr. Fox' Kylie, Rat, Mr. Fox, and Ash (with additional blue masked head)!

We use only non-chemical cleaners in our home, but until a few months ago, there was a notable exception: Febreze. I was hypnotized by its chemical smell designed to evoke thoughts of fresh, line-dried laundry; disturbingly, it smelled better than my own line-dried laundry.
I knew it was time for the spray to go, not only because I was adding chemicals to my home, but because I was consuming an unnecessary plastic bottle, as well as water, and supporting a company that tests on animals, too. Perhaps the greenest thing I could do would be to scent my home with nothing, of course, but with two dogs, I wasn't quite ready to cut that cord yet. I didn't want to go the other direction, either, and risk smelling like a head shop, with incense burning on every table-top.
With a little web research, I found a surprising natural, fabric-safe deodorizer: vodka, and the cheaper the better. Spraying costumes and curtains with vodka is an old theater trick for keeping fabrics fresh. I found the least expensive stuff I could -- such a low-brow brand was already in my own cabinet – and mixed it with a little essential lavender oil, a sprig of rosemary, a cinnamon stick, and a few drops of lemon. The result is light and effective.

It's amazing what you can achieve with a paintbrush and a fork. Yesterday morning I watched in helpless horror as the lid of something fell down the plug hole in the bathroom sink. I could see it, just about, using the flashlight app on my smartphone (I knew there was more to smartphones than just being connected), but couldn't reach it.
Go on: experiment! Photo from James Vaughn http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-ray_delta_one/Elaine went and brought up this device she bought in an emporium which specialises in products of the stuff-that-looks-pretty-useless-but-which-might-come-in-handy-one-day variety. When you press the end of it these prongs come out, so in theory you can use it to pick things up. It's a bit like the gizmo that park attendants and street cleaners use. Unfortunately, it didn't have grip.
However, after trying a variety of screwdrivers, pliers, even scissors, we finally managed to retrieve the offending item by using an artists' paintbrush to lever it into a certain position and then a fork to twist it round so that we could actually grab hold of it.
All in all it was a good bit of problem-solving with which to start the day. I'd highly recommend it.
But the main point of all this persiflage is really to say that our preconceived ideas of what would work proved to be completely misguided. In the end, it was a couple of 'wrong' tools that did the trick. Well, that and some pretty good lateral and logical thinking on our part.
Moving deftly into the field of teaching ICT, we are in a pretty good position in England really -- actually, I'd say the whole of the UK, albeit for different reasons. The Computer Programme of Study, even if published in its present form, will be minimalist, which allows for adding content you think is fit. There is no government-sponsored agency telling us what an ideal lesson should look like, or how many minutes each part of the lessons should take. Even Ofsted doesn't really mind what you do as long as the kids have learnt something by the end of the lesson. (OK, there is a bit more to it then that, but we are certainly in a much more laissez-faire position than we were, say, five years ago, in my opinion.)
So why not experiment? There is rarely, if ever, a single best way of teaching something, or even a single best order of teaching a set of topics.
How about this as an example? In the video below, the background scenery changes according to where you are. If you wanted to use this as an example of programming, there are a number of ways you could do so. You could show the video and then try to get the pupils to deconstruct it. Or you could get the pupils to plan out on paper what they think is going on. Or you could plunge straight in and ask them to try to recreate the sequence using animation in Scratch. You could even get them to simulate the whole thing in a spreadsheet like Excel.
You may well disagree with all of these approaches and have a preferred one of your own. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that:
Is it morally OK to experiment like this? I mean, what if the kids learn nothing from a particular approach?
My view is as follows:
The corollary is that without experimenting you could find yourself in the unfortunate position of teaching the same thing in the same way using the same resources in ten years' time as you are now. I can't imagine, especially with a subject like ours, that that would be very useful.cross-posted on www.ictineducation.org Terry Freedman is an independent educational ICT consultant with over 35 years of experience in education.

Risk of frost returns to parts of northwestern Saskatchewan
As the final few days of August approach, memories of a frigid season thought to have been long left behind have resurfaced.
Saskatchewan's first Arctic airmass of the summer is getting set to drop into the province from the north in the coming days, slicing in some stark temperatures that may leave some shivering.
There is a risk of frost overnight into both Friday and Saturday mornings in portions of western and northwestern Saskatchewan including the Meadow Lake, Buffalo Narrows, La Loche and Cluff Lake areas.
The City of Lloydminster is on the edge of the zone with a risk of frost.
Residents of the Border City and areas further north in the frost-risk zone would be wise to cover plants and vegetables to prevent frost damage.
Some low-lying areas may see the mercury dip to the freezing mark overnight depending on the amount of cloud cover that persists through the overnight hours.
If skies stay cloudy, the extra insulation of the atmosphere may be enough to keep the frost potential at bay, however high pressure is often accompanied by clear skies, so precautionary measures are advised.
A more organized area of cloud cover moving in during the weekend should help keep temperatures warmer, however the beginning of the work week could see a return of the frost potential.

From OpenWetWare
- ligated 320 to OS-Q-119 in an A/C backbone & transformed into both Barry's top10 cells and the IK cells Bo put in the -80 yesterday done, VV
- ligated 250 to (250+400) in an A/T backbone & transformed into top10 & IK done, VV
also, after talking to Jason, we decided that we want to have 400 on its own, so: --transformed the miniprepped mix of 400 in kan backbone and 250 in A/C backbone into Top10, and plated on kan plates. so, the transformants we get should be either double transformants (both 400 and 250), or just single 400 transformants. We want to isolate the 400 (IAGD) so we can ligate it to 250. so, what we need to do is pick the colonies we get tomorrow, and put them in some water...and then take a little out of each tube to plate on an a/c plate. if cells grow on the a/c plate (it'll take about 3 hrs to tell), then we'll know that they were double tranformants...that is, we don't want them. then we'll just LC the cells that we know have ONLY 400 in them, and we can miniprep that on tuesday.

While Yamada will be stepping down from her role as a member of the Assembly Veterans Committee, an assignment she has held for five years, she said she will continue working on veterans issues in her other committee assignments and through her own policymaking.
"My interest in addressing the issues of housing and homelessness now faced by many veterans -- especially those from our most recent conflicts -- intersects with this new assignment as well as my current role on the Assembly Select Committee on Homelessness," Yamada said in a statement. "I welcome the opportunity to work with Chairman Ed Chau and Committee members on providing increased access to affordable, accessible and supportive housing for these veterans in addition to finding solutions to the housing needs of other underserved populations."
The Housing and Community Development Committee's jurisdiction includes building standards, common interest developments, homelessness programs, housing discrimination, housing finance, natural disaster assistance and preparedness, redevelopment, and land use planning.
Pérez also appointed Yamada to serve on the newly-established Committee on Local Emergency Preparedness, which will focus on coordination of local emergency resources. Before her election to the Assembly, Yamada represented the Yolo County Board of Supervisors on the Sierra Sacramento Valley Emergency Medical Services Agency (SSV-EMS). She was elected SSV-EMS board chairwoman in 2005 and served in that capacity for two years.
Yamada will continue as chairwoman of the Assembly Committee on Aging and Long-Term Care, the Select Committee on State Hospital and Developmental Center Safety and the Select Committee on Sustainable and Organic Agriculture, and as a member of the Assembly Committee on Agriculture, Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife, the Select Committee on Homelessness and the Select Committee on Wine.

The Myth About Defense Spending
Defense is one of the few things our federal government manages today that the U.S. Constitution actually authorizes it to do.
Sadly, somewhere between 50 and 60% of the federal budget is spent on social programs that the Constitution simply does not authorized. No authority is found for them in Article 1 Section 8, and these enumerated authorities, as well as the Tenth Amendment and the writings of the founders in the Federalist Papers, make it clear that the federal government has no authority outside those enumerated powers.
Yet we continually hear the Left yammering and whining about supposedly massive spending on defense…when in actuality it is only 20% or less of our budget. And did I say that it is one of the few things the Constitution authorizes our federal government to do?
And what price can we put on our safety (look back to 911 if you have doubts) and our freedom?
The Heritage Foundation has put together this graph which reveals that defense spending as a percentage of our total federal budget is actually about as low if not the lowest it has been in our history.
So the next time you hear a liberal blathering about the high cost of defending our country, be sure to set them straight.

Here is the summary from this month's Global Manufacturing Economic Update:
The global economy has seen some progress since last fall, but growth remains modest at best. There is also a "two steps forward, one step back" feel to some of the latest data. Six of the top 10 markets for U.S.-manufactured goods expanded in March, according to Markit. This is down from seven last month, but up from four last October. Canada, our largest trading partner, saw its manufacturing activity decline, with weaknesses in new orders, exports and hiring. Softness in the United States and Europe were cited as factors.
The other three markets with contracting sales, output and employment levels were in Europe, with its economic downturn widening. The Markit Eurozone Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell from 47.9 in February to 46.8 in March. This index has now contracted for 20 straight months, with little hope of improving anytime soon. While many of the recent headlines have surrounded the failure of the banks in Cyprus or the inconclusive Italian elections, the challenges are ones that confront the entire continent. The unemployment rate has risen to 12 percent, with more than one-quarter of the working population in Greece and Spain out of work, and real GDP is expected to contract throughout the year. This morning, we should learn even more about the manufacturing sector in Europe when new data on industrial production will be released. The data are expected to show a slight decline. Read More

Open vs. Closed
Does anyone here prefer Open Bolt vs. Closed bolt, or vise versa?
Depending on the weapon your interested in.. you have no choice.
Open bolt allows dirt and dust to get in the bolt area. Closed bolt will obviously keep things a little cleaner.
Close bolt will require you to "charge the weapon" after inserting a new magazine.

Best Day Ever
I love to go sledding. We have the best hill by our house that all of the neighbor kids enjoy sledding on. One beautiful day, Mom asked my sisters and me if we would like to go. Of course I said yes. Just as we were leaving, one of my best friends, Braiden, called to see if I could play. I invited him to go sledding with us. He hurried over to my house, and we took off for the hill.
The hill was just as icy and fast as I had hoped it would be. We were having a lot of fun going down the hill! Then my friend said his hands were freezing. He had forgotten to bring his gloves. I felt bad that he had such cold hands. I quickly took my gloves off and gave them to him. We kept sledding for another hour or so. My hands were probably freezing, but I didn't care because I was happy about giving my gloves to a friend. I know Jesus Christ would do the same for His friend. I want to always try to do what He would do. I had the best day ever on the hill because I felt warm inside.
No, Thank You
One day last year, my friend invited me to his house to have a Teddy Bear Tea Party with him and his sisters. I thought they would have pretend tea at this party. Instead, they offered me real tea with honey. I remembered an article in the Friend about President David O. McKay. * Once when he was visiting the queen of the Netherlands, she offered him tea. He politely refused it. I knew that if tea isn't good for a prophet, then it isn't good for me. I told my friend, "No thank you. Tea isn't good for you." They didn't know about the Word of Wisdom, and they told me that tea was good for me. But I said, "No thank you," again. So my friends gave me some water to drink, and we had a good time together.
When I made this choice, I had a good feeling inside. My mom and dad said I was setting a good example for my friends who aren't members of the Church. I know that Jesus Christ wants me to take care of my body, and I am trying to do that.

United Technologies subsidiary Sikorsky Aircraft announced at the American Helicopter Society annual forum earlier this month that it plans to build an experimental helicopter using a coaxial main rotor system that it says will achieve cruise speeds well above that of conventional helicopters. Coaxial helicopters have two counterrotating rotors on the same vertical axis.
Sikorsky plans to build its X2 technology demonstrator helicopter at its Schweizer Aircraft subsidiary in Elmira, New York. Here in Paris on Monday, Jeff Pino, Sikorsky senior vice president of marketing, promised the X2 demonstrator would fly by the end of next year. He also said preliminary design work for the tandem-seat demonstrator has been completed and parts fabrication has already begun. Before the end of this year, Pino said, Schweizer will fly a 333 fitted with the same Honeywell fly-by-wire system that will be used in the demonstrator.
The fastest helicopters today cruise comfortably at about 160 knots. Pino said the X2, powered by a single LHTEC T-800 turboshaft engine (the cancelled RAH-66 Comanche's powerplant), will cruise at 250 knots. By comparison, the Bell/Agusta BA609 civil tiltrotor has an expected maximum cruise speed of 275 knots, although it has not yet flown in airplane mode. Bell Boeing's V-22 military tiltrotor has demonstrated its maximum cruise speed of 275 knots, but as tiltrotors, both the V-22 and 609 are not conventional helicopters.
In developing its proposed line of X2 technology helicopters, Sikorsky is building on several decades of company research, specifically mentioning the XH-59A Advancing Blade Concept demonstrator, which showed high speed was possible with a coaxial helicopter and auxiliary propulsion; the Cypher UAV, which expanded company knowledge of the flight control laws in fly-by-wire aircraft with coaxial rotors; and the Comanche, which developed company expertise in composite rotors and advanced transmission design.
A computer rendering of the X2 demonstrator shows a pusher prop on the tail, which Sikorsky describes as part of an integrated auxiliary propulsion system. Interestingly, a proposed follow-on to the XH-59A was to have a pusher prop as well, but the Advancing Blade Concept program lost funding before it was built. The XH-59A, boosted by two 3,300-pound-thrust turbojet engines, attained 240 knots in cruise and 260 knots in a dive.
Sikorsky, which is funding the project, is using the X2 moniker to describe a class of coaxial helicopters and to imply the multiplying effects (X2 meaning "times two") of applying several advanced technologies to the design. These technologies include improvements to the rotor blades, flight control laws, transmission and active vibration control. Pino said the design is scalable and can be applied to a wide range of requirements for UAVs to heavy-lift helicopters. He added that the demonstrator itself is not planned to become a product.

EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said the European Commission will be reviewing the EU's data-sharing agreement with the U.S., EU Observer reports. The agreement, now 13 years old, is based on a clause in the current EU Data Protection Directive and binds the 3,000 or so companies that have voluntarily signed up to a set of data transfer rules regarding notice, choice and onward transfer, among other provisions. But Reding said, "We do have the impression that the Safe Harbor Agreement might not be so safe after all." She will present the commission's findings by the end of this year.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Austin Robichaux limited Arkansas-Little Rock to two hits and struck out a career-high 14 in a complete-game effort that guided Louisiana-Lafayette to a 9-2 victory Friday night at Gary Hogan Field.
The Ragin' Cajuns (23-10, 7-6 Sun Belt Conference) touched UALR ace Chance Cleveland for six runs and nine hits in 4.2 innings — the most runs and hits Cleveland has allowed all season.
Robichaux began a string of 16 consecutive batters retired after the Trojans (15-17, 4-9) scored an unearned run in the second inning to cut the Cajuns lead to 2-1.
The Cajuns put UALR away — and ended Cleveland's night — in the fifth inning when a string of four straight at-bats produced four runs for a 6-1 advantage.
ULL moved within a game of first place in the Sun Belt standings behind FAU, South Alabama, Troy and WKU all tied for first with an 8-5 league mark.
The Cajuns and UALR continue their series at 4 p.m. Saturday.
ULL will send Ryan Wilson (3-1, 3.14) to the mound. He'll be opposed by UALR's Blake Huffman.
All nine of the Cajuns' runs were produced by the bottom of the lineup, and hitters No. 5-9 accounted for the production. Michael Strentz, the No. 5 hitter, led the charge with three RBIs on a pair of doubles.
Robichaux did not give up an earned run to the Trojans, and his 14 strikeouts were the most recorded by a Sun Belt pitcher in 2013.
Three consecutive two-out singles led to the Cajuns breaking a scoreless tie in the second inning.
Blake Trahan picked up the first hit, moving Tyler Girouard (leaoff walk) to third base. Chase Compton and Jace Conrad followed with run scoring singles for a 2-0 edge.
The Trojans got a run back in the bottom of the second, scoring an unearned tally when a Dex Kjerstad throw back to the infield following a Sam Vogel single bounced over Trahan's reach at shortstop.
Cleveland held the Cajuns off the scoreboard the next two innings, but ULL's ability to get base runners drove the UALR ace's pitch count up to 78 after four innings.
Robichcaux struck out five of the next six Trojans hitters to maintain his lead before the offense provided him with beneficial support in the fifth inning.
Singles by Ryan Leonards and Seth Harrison gave ULL two runners early in the top of the fifth. Two batters later, Strentz doubled to begin the string of four straight at-bats in which the Cajuns scored, upping the lead to 6-1 and chasing Cleveland off the mound.
Robichaux was provided a 9-1 cushion in his team's next at-bat with two runs scoring on a Strentz double and another on Dylan Butler's second sacrifice fly of the game.
His string of consecutive Trojans retired grew to 16 straight before Sage Gasaway drew a leadoff walk in the eighth inning. UALR picked up one run that inning, but it was unearned as Gasaway scored from third base on a passed ball.

Photographer's Note
Pictured here is one of the sculptures that was on display at the Botanic Gardens in North Dublin in September and October 2013.
The exhibition invites sculptors both known and unknown to submit works for display throughout this 50 acre city garden. Over 120 individual works were on display between the gardens and the visitors centre. While many were quite large, obvious and easy to spot, others were blended quite well into their environments and I missed dozens of them! While a number of the exhibits were expected in a large public garden being in the shape of flowers and plants, many more were very unexpected including the gigantic crocheted jellyfish inside the Victorian glasshouse, and the area where it appeared to be raining multi colored knitted donuts.
Each sculpture on display takes into account their specific locations and circumstances i.e. their context.
Unfortunately, as I photographed a number of the sculptures I did not think to photograph the details of the name of the work or the artist and I also neglected to pick up the catalogue on sale in the visitors centre, so I have no idea what this piece is called or who made it. The one thing I do know is that I find it quite weird. This is a rather selective view of the sculpture which in its entirety is a complete circle of these strange figures.
On the day in question, I had met with Rosemary (SnapRJW) and her husband, and we had decided to visit the gardens. I had no idea the display was on so the weird sculptures were a bonus that day.
Thanks for looking.

Bonsoir Noel,
amusant ces personnages qui flottent dans l'espace. J'imagine que l'oeuvre doit avoir des dimensions impressionnantes. L'idée est sympa, c'est une belle photo avec un commentaire qui a son intérêt.
Merci pour le partage.

Hello Noel,
Congratulations for your personal way to present this piece of art. Very good result!
Best regards,

Ciao Noel
la scultura è molto originale, ma lo è anche il modo in cui è stata interpretata.
Un arco sospeso in un cielo scenicamente bello grazie alle nuvole.
mirosu (16279) 2014-01-19 17:41
Hi Noel,
You have excellently captured this interesting statue from well chosen low angle viewpoint with superb blus sky backdrop. Very well done indeed.
Wish you a very nice week ahead.
Corry (4508) 2014-01-19 20:41
Bonsoir Noel
Très beau plan rapproché de cette statue de personnages liés ensemble. L'éclairage permet de bien apprécier les détails. Le ciel est magnifique. Félicitations.
jcpix (14008) 2014-01-19 21:20
Hi Noel,
It was only recently that I figured out why horses will often stand next to each other, but face the opposite directions (using each others tails to swat flies from their faces). I relate that "discovery" to this sculpture...because I think it's going to take just as many years to understand this connection??
My oh my, this really is open to interpretation, isn't it? ;) It's like a repeated still shot from a football match where someone is face planting into another player while lunging for the ball. I'm just glad the artist decided to make the stop at this juncture, rather than proceeding to let the faces fly any further ahead!?
Anyway, my distasteful humor aside...it really has made for an intriguing, and even thought provoking piece of art. I'd be interested to see its entirety, but I really like how you've composed this to show a small arc of human form and used a good portion of the cloud filled sky as a contrasting backdrop. The rustic green/sky blue color combo is attractive, and the sharp focus has brought out a lot of the texture and fine detail in the sculpture itself.
Now, where is it exactly I can get a hold of those donuts? Knitted or not, they're donuts...they HAVE to be good! :) Enjoy the day ahead.
Cheers from dry side,
jjcordier (79297) 2014-01-19 22:30
Bonne exploitation de cette sculpture bien éclairée et qui se détache très bien sur ce joli ciel. Beau rendu de la matière et des couleurs.

Hello Noel,
simple,but absolutely amazing and expressive shot!
It´s not an easy task to capture others artistic visions,essence of their works or what they wanted to convey with their work of arts,but You did here really superb job!
I especially enjoy your POV and close-up presenting these scultures against the sky.Like I wrote-simple idea,but the end result is evocative and very strong!
Have a nice day
aleXundar (1256) 2014-01-20 0:43
Hello Noel,
An excellent image of a chain of human figures like trapeze artists or swimmers. Very teasingly you have framed a part of the sculpture and left us guessing about the philosophy behind it. The shot is, nevertheless, wonderful with only sky in the background. Great idea and a great shot.
danos (104536) 2014-01-20 1:11
Hi Noel,
nice the view of this exhibition sample that 'decorates' it, making the image and the presentation so inviting and unique.I like the way that outline against the blue and puffy sky making the scene great.
Have a good week,Danos
snunney (111779) 2014-01-20 3:49
Hello Noel,
Strange these interwoven characters; I just wonder what the sculptor was trying to convey. Anyway, they look rather splendid against that glorious sky. Ideal framing and excellent sharpness.
Subhogen (4067) 2014-01-20 4:08
Hello Noel,
I like the way you have presented this sculpture, like an arch. From the photo it is not clear how big the sculpture is, if it is big enough it can be an impressive gateway to an art gallery or a museum perhaps. Very interesting indeed..I like your POV and composition to present more of that wonderful blue sky which makes it look like that these models are flying through the air like those parachuter who form a canopy after jumping from the plane. Thanks for sharing an unique sculpture and good photo as well.
mkamionka (41783) 2014-01-20 13:47
Hi Noel,
so you had guys a mini Trek Earth meeting in Dublin! That sounds really nice and you had a fantastic weather over there too! Very interesting sculpture, is it some sort of kamasutra? The clouds add definitively a very nice background as if the naked women felt they are in haven. Very well done!
SnapRJW (31629) 2014-01-20 21:46
Hello Noel - I like your thinking here, the section of the sculpture projected against the sky is a neat way to show off the details and makes for a fascinating image. Why didn't I see this when I was with you? In my shots the sculpture gets 'lost' against the background. Nicely balanced this strong composition is quirky and, I think, a punchy shot. Warm regards Rosemary
Romano46 (18472) 2014-01-21 10:34
Ciao Noel
il genere di foto che piace tanto a me.
Una ricerca di un dettaglio inquadrato contro l'azzurro del cielo con composizione straordinaria e colori e nitidezza di ottimo livello.
Un eccellentre lavoro. Bravissimo
Ciao e buona serata
InasiaJones (31566) 2014-01-21 16:04
Hi Noel,
Sculptures can be interesting by themselves, but not always translating happily when captured in photo - most of the time, it's the most boring subject.
But the way you have captured this one is a creative and full of fun. You have kept the dynamism and made it your own. The composition is efficient, simple and bold. The sky was nicely filled, suiting your subject with impact.
Well done!
fabbs99 (17179) 2014-01-21 20:11

Hi Noel
Love to see how the warm light is picking out the delicate sculptures' carvings which is superbly framed this way highlighting the overall beauty of this unique design. It's pin sharp, and the soft shadows accentuate the depth, just breathtakingly captivating too when seen the slight curve and how each is joined together. Excellent brief infor note to guide us through, a fine symbolic figs so well set off to equally wonderful background. Splendid work, Congrats.
Best regards

Another interesting sculpture from Dublin. Very creative idea for art work. I also like the contrast with the blue sky. Glad to know about another TE-meeting, it is very important part of our community.
Best wishes from Russia!

Looks like a game of Twister gone horribly wrong. but I really like how you composed the shot and kept it simple. The simplicity is what makes it for me. The sculpture is well-lit, yet you've still managed to retain the blue in the sky and details in the clouds. The sculpture looks like it's trying to grasp the sky. I like it a lot and am so happy to hear that you had fun with Rosemary and her husband.
Thanks also for your kind thoughts on the Mamma Figure. I read everyone's note out and she was very touched and says to thank you all.
Warmest wishes
EstudioChispa (2180) 2014-01-23 12:13
Hello Noel!
I have spent days in my own project and was thinking that I might never enjoy seeing another picture of a statue, but here I am looking at this shot and going, "Wow!" Your color composition is strong, and that blue sky is perfect. Too often, when I start futtzing with color in an image, the sky will go off without me noticing.
The sculptural composition is, as you say, "weird," but it IS "art!" The other detail I now recognize is the wonderful little difference in the patina towards the left --a result, I presume, of "cheeky" boys patting this lady's bum!
All my best, sir!
Austin, Texas
ourania (51103) 2014-01-23 12:52
Hello Noel,
before reading your note and having only your photo and its title to work with, I thought that this might be another, modern and psychological interpretation of the myth of the Children of Lot:) The textures and colours of the sculpture have been rendered perfectly, the shadows enhance the plasticity of the row of bodies forming a dynamic bow across the frame. I think that if the top border came lower, it would exalt the dynamism and elegance of the sculpture even more. You used the light superbly and the sky makes a gorgeous backdrop. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, take care,
Royaldevon (47484) 2014-01-24 8:52
Hello Noel,
Lovely presentation of this most unusual sculpture. I love the way it arcs across the frame in a flurry of arms and legs.
The details are sharp and the colours pleasingly saturated.
It would be a treat for Rosemary who would be unaware of the exhibition, too.
Have a great w/e,
Bev :-)
macjake (76375) 2014-01-25 4:20
HI Noel
well this is strange...you posting a photo of a sculpture? I don't think you've dont that before...
funny how you commented that you felt this sculpture was 'weird'.
Me too...i can't decide if its a group of children innocently playing or is it a group of adults in some weird sexual orgy?
I guess its grabs your attention though doesn't it!
on the plus side you were able to share this moment with Rosemary, and you got some awesome cloud coverage this day.
all in all not too bad!
enjoy your weekend
rigoletto (34279) 2014-01-25 8:39
hi noel. almost a week and no photos. i hope you are doing fine. well, what to say, friends told you already. this is a well seen opportunity, omitting the ground connections, making them fly in clouds. and the light you had was sublime, even revealing the details on the rusty butts. sculpture photos are difficult to make appealing, but you bang it here.
emka (113075) 2014-01-25 23:07
Hi Noel, Nice memories from the meeting with Rosemary. strange sculpture. These naked bodies remind me the Vigeland's sculptures from Oslo. Excellent view against the blue sky. Fantastic presentation.
Warm regrads Malgo
adores (46463) 2014-02-09 8:02
Hi Noel!
Another one to your interesting theme about sculptures. This one is also very unusual and you framed it very well, with a beatiful sky.
I think it's really interesting that the Botanical Gardens create such event, it probably attracts many visitors there.
Hope you had a fantastic meeting with Rosemary:)!
This is indeed a very strange sculpture, Noel... perhaps given the lack of information you should call this shot 'Sculpture Without Context'! I hope you took some more photos at this exhibit, as your descriptions of some of the other pieces make me want to see them.
Not sure what this one could possibly mean, but it is certainly unique, and your framing of it is awesome and very creative, with the bright blue sky behind. The arc reminds me oddly of a dolphin jumping through the air and landing back in the water - perhaps that's all the feet looking a bit like fins. Either way, a nice piece of work from you here!
Miguel82 (27752) 2014-05-20 18:54
Being not a specialist of sculptures, I'll just say that this a brillant artwork Noel, you give useful explanations in your photo note, good pov with the sky in the bg, greetings

Robinsons Malls' Soundbites Food And Music Festival is back for its second year, and we got to experience one of their concerts last May 9 at Robinsons Magnolia!
This year, Soundbites brings a throwback-themed music festival! Jessica Reynoso from The Voice opened the show!
We can't forget about the amazing food that was served at the event! It was perfect as the guests enjoyed the good live music while eating delicious food.
The night's headliner was one of the most loved Filipino R&B groups, South Border! Joined by former vocalist Luke Mejares, they took us down memory lane with some of their biggest hits like "Rainbow", "Ikaw Nga" and "Love Of My Life"! South Border gave us another night to remember with their nostalgic set!
It's not too late if you missed out on this leg because there are more Soundbites concerts coming up this month at other Robinsons Malls featuring throwback performances by Jinky Vidal, Top Suzara, True Faith, Hale, and Brownman Revival!
Check out what went down that night in the video below, plus our MYXclusive interview with South Border!

LIAM Feeney is closing in on a move to Bolton Wanderers following a loan spell at Blackburn Rovers.
Feeney joined Rovers on loan from Millwall in March and made six appearances for the club – five of them as a substitute.
Rovers boss Gary Bowyer had been interested in signing Feeney this summer, with the winger out of contract at Millwall.
But the 27-year-old was not at the top of Rovers' shopping list and it now looks as though he will instead join Bolton.
Sources at Wanderers say Feeney has agreed terms over a deal with Bolton after a brief but successful loan spell with the Trotters earlier in the season.
Feeney had made only four appearances for Bolton when Millwall decided to recall him in October.
Bowyer is currently in India for talks with Rovers owners Venky's over his summer budget, and will not start making moves in the transfer market until he returns.

I chose to have two surgeries at the same time; a breast augmentation and a rhinoplasty. My breasts were drooping and had stretch marks from breast feeding my children. To wear a bra properly I would have to lift them and stick them into the padding. Obviously, this is not ideal.
So when I started looking for a surgeon for my rhinoplasty, I wanted someone who had a great reputation for breast augmentation as well. My surgery was July 7th, so I am on my second day post-op. They are tender and swollen but nothing that the pain medication can't take care of.
I went from a 36 deflated B cup to a large C, possible D. But I won't know until the swelling resolves and my breasts "drop and fluff". I won't post pictures on here but if anyone is interested in viewing them I can email them to you. Please private message me for that. If anyone has any questions about the procedure or Dr. G I would be more than happy to answer those as well!

Signaling by estrogens and tamoxifen in the human endometrium
Tamoxifen is used as adjuvant treatment for postmenopausal breast cancer patients. The mechanism of action of tamoxifen in breast cancer patients is that tamoxifen inhibits growth of cancer cells by competitive antagonism for estrogens at the estrogen receptor (ER). In the endometrium, tamoxifen has an effect that varies with the ambient concentration of estrogen: in premenopausal women (high estrogen levels), tamoxifen displays an estrogen-antagonistic effect, while in postmenopausal women (low estrogen levels), tamoxifen displays an estrogen-agonistic mode of action. Here, using microarray technology we have compared estrogen signaling with tamoxifen signaling in the human endometrium. It was observed that on the one hand tamoxifen-treatment results in modulation of expression of specific genes (370 genes) and on the other hand tamoxifen-treatment results in modulation of a set of genes which are also regulated by estrogen treatment (142 genes). Upon focusing on regulation of proliferation, we found that tamoxifen-induced endometrial proliferation is largely accomplished by using the same set of genes as are regulated by estradiol. So, as far as regulation of proliferation goes, tamoxifen seems to act as estrogen agonist. Furthermore, tamoxifen-specific gene regulation may explain why tamoxifen-induced endometrial tumors behave more aggressively than sporadic endometrial tumors.

IBUPROFEN - ibuprofen tablet
AvKARE, Inc.
(See the end of this Medication Guide for a list of prescription NSAID medicines.)
What is the most important information I should know about medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)?
NSAID medicines may increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death. This chance increases:
● with longer use of NSAID medicines ● in people who have heart disease
NSAID medicines should never be used right before or after a heart surgery called a "coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)."
NSAID medicines can cause ulcers and bleeding in the stomach and intestines at any time during treatment. Ulcers and bleeding:
● can happen without warning symptoms ● may cause death
The chance of a person getting an ulcer or bleeding increases with:
● taking medicines called "corticosteroids" and "anticoagulants"
● drinking alcohol
● longer use
● older age
● having poor health
● smoking
NSAID medicines should only be used:
● exactly as prescribed
● for the shortest time needed
● at the lowest dose possible for your treatment
Who should not take a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID)?
Do not take an NSAID medicine:
● if you had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reaction with aspirin or any other NSAID medicine
● for pain right before or after heart bypass surgery
Tell your healthcare provider:
● about all of your medical conditions.
● about all of the medicines you take. NSAIDs and some other medicines can interact with each other and cause serious side effects. Keep a list of your medicines to show to your healthcare provider and pharmacist.
● if you are pregnant. NSAID medicines should not be used by pregnant women late in their pregnancy.
● if you are breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor.
What are the possible side effects of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)?
|Serious side effects include:
|Other side effects include:
|● heart attack
● stroke
● high blood pressure
● heart failure from body swelling (fluid retention)
● kidney problems including kidney failure
● bleeding and ulcers in the stomach and intestine
● low red blood cells (anemia)
● life-threatening skin reactions
● life-threatening allergic reactions
● liver problems including liver failure
● asthma attacks in people who have asthma
|● stomach pain
● constipation
● diarrhea
● gas
● heartburn
● nausea
● vomiting
● dizziness
Get emergency help right away if you have any of the following symptoms:
● shortness of breath or trouble breathing
● slurred speech
● chest pain
● swelling of the face or throat
● weakness in one part or side of your body
Stop your NSAID medicine and call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms:
● nausea
● more tired or weaker than usual
● itching
● your skin or eyes look yellow
● stomach pain
● flu-like symptoms
● vomit blood
● there is blood in your bowel movement or it is black and sticky like tar
● unusual weight gain
● skin rash or blisters with fever
● swelling of the arms and legs, hands and feet
These are not all the side effects with NSAID medicines. Talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information about NSAID medicines.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Other information about Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
● Aspirin is an NSAID medicine but it does not increase the chance of a heart attack. Aspirin can cause bleeding in the brain, stomach, and intestines. Aspirin can also cause ulcers in the stomach and intestines.
●Some of these NSAID medicines are sold in lower doses without a prescription (over-the- counter). Talk to your healthcare provider before using over-the-counter NSAIDs for more than 10 days.

I consider her a friend...but I don't really have the type of relationship with her that I do my other friends. I don't call her up just to gossip and we don't go out shopping and for drinks. I'm not her shoulder to cry on and she's not mine. We don't really have too much in common though. She's 13 years older than me. She's nice, but outside of the kids, she's probably not someone I would be friends with...I'm sure she would say the same about me. It's not meant to be negative, just is what it is.
She did come to my baby shower though and I did go to her bridal shower. Pretty much any social activity involving the kids is an automatic invite. She watches my daughter and loves her to death. We talk about the next episode of BB or American Idol...stuff like that. I'm comfortable picking up the phone and making arrangements concerning DSD. I like her and have a tremendous amount of respect for her, but she is my husbands ex wife, not my BFF. I'm very lucky to have the relationship with her that I have.

Book Trailer Thursday: NOS4A2
What's that? "Silent Night" in April? Something's not right– or make that a lot of things. I'm not sure if Joe Hill betrays his desire to send readers "careening deliriously off into a la-la land of horrifying absurdism" in this author-interview style trailer for NOS4A2, but we have Dan Kraus's review to warn us of that.
Hill throws a snowball so we know to fear the book and not its author.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.The most flexible business structure in this instance would be an LLC. S-Corps are also a good choice as their tax structure may be more favorable if the income is under $200,000, and an S-Corp is impossible to sell by an another artificial entity, making it somewhat protected from takeovers. Good luck.
Ok so back to the s corp, I'm not sure what you meant on being impossible to sell by another art/entity, to be somewhat protected from a takeover?
Denzil,An LLC has shares. Those shares can arguably be purchased by someone else. For example if you choose to later give away ownership shares, you can do so. That could allow a third party (which could be an another LLC or C Corp) to buy up shares and take over control from you.An S-Corp is somewhat different. S-Corp shares are limited, they can only be transferred to individuals, not businesses, there is a limit on how many shareholders an S-Corp may have, a limit on the site of income, and a limit on how those shares can be transferred as well as their amount. An LLC has none of those limitations.Since an S-Corp share cannot be sold to a business entity, an S-Corp is immune from being owned by an another business entity and from becoming a subsidiary.Good luck.

WCA loses to Underwood on the road
The West Central Area girls' basketball team wrapped up its regular season unfavorably in a 54-43 loss to Underwood on the road Friday.
Head coach Beth Hill said the Knights committed too many mental errors to pull out a victory in Underwood.
"We lost to Underwood tonight because we made a lot of little mental errors," Hill said. "We've talked all year about how these seemingly little things add up over the course of a game and become big things."
Holly Van Kempen led the Knights with 16 points and eight rebounds, and Tiana Christenson scored eight points.
WCA will open the section tournament at home Thursday against the winner of Hancock and Underwood.
WCA – Holly Van Kempen – 16 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocked shots, 3 assists, 1 steal; Tiana Christenson – 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals; Kylee Fernholz – 5 points, 4 assists, 2 steals; Christina Kruize – 4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assist; Jordan Anderson – 4 points, 1 rebound; Abby Van Kempen – 3 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocked shots, 1 steal, 1 assist

Welcome to the Show
Michigan Junior Lifts Team with Shutout in First Start
by Adam Wodon/Managing Editor
After taking it on the chin again Friday night, and his team at 5-9-2, Michigan coach Red Berenson had finally seen enough.
In days of yore for Michigan, it would recruit big time goalies and ride them for four years. Al Montoya left early, breaking the trend, but the Wolverines thought they were in good shape when they recruited blue chipper Jack Campbell. But Campbell decided to bail out of his commitment before the 2010-11 season.
That left the goaltending up to walk-on Shawn Hunwick, and he proved to be tremendous, taking the team to the Frozen Four that year. The next season, Michigan thought it had it lined up again, but another blue chipper, John Gibson, also bailed out. Hunwick came back as a fifth-year senior.
With Hunwick gone, Michigan brought in two new freshmen for this season, Steve Racine and Jared Rutledge. They didn't leave for major junior like Campbell and Gibson, but neither has really done the job yet, with Racine putting up some OK games and getting more of the playing time.
So that was the setup for this weekend, as Racine lost again on Friday, allowing three goals in a 4-2 loss (with empty netter). With Berenson left with nowhere to turn, he went to junior Adam Janecyk — in an attempt, so to speak, to find his next Shawn Hunwick.
And bingo, whaddya know, it worked again, at least for one game. Janecyk, who had played only mop-up minutes in his first two seasons, pitched a shutout of Western Michigan and lifted the team's spirits.
"I was planning on playing (Steve) Racine, and we talked about it and he is the unknown," Berenson said. "Janecyk has been the unknown; he has been the third goalie. We have two freshman goalies that have been given the chance to play every game. We thought it is time. Our team needs a boost and our goals against needs a boost.
"I didn't know what we would get with Janecyk, because he has not been any better in practice than the other two. He showed up tonight. Our team gave him a good game, and he kept the puck out."
This wasn't just any opponent either. It was a Western Michigan team that is the reigning CHN Team of the Week, a team that's right on the heels of Notre Dame and Miami for first place in the CCHA, and which was 11-3-2 entering Saturday's game. It was a Western Michigan team that does not have any goalie issues, with sophomore Frank Slubowski building on his breakout freshman campaign from a year ago, into perhaps the top goaltender in the league.
"(Saturday) morning, I walked in and saw my name written on the board," Janecyk said. "There was no real conversation, but my number was up there and I was ready to go. I was really excited. It's been awhile since I've been in there and it's a good feeling."
On shutout boosting team ... "They were great all night — the team was unbelievable. It's more of a team shutout than anything. I think we should take a lot of pride in that."
Janecyk comes from a hockey family, his dad Bob playing in the NHL in stints with Chicago and Los Angeles. But after a solid, if un-remarkable junior career, Janecyk, a Michigan native, came to the Wolverines just hoping to fit in. He got one start last year, but otherwise only relief appearances.
In the game, he started out much as Hunwick did, staying composed, not trying to do too much, making the regular saves, and then some.
He got help from his teammates, who seemed to rally behind him.
"I think this game was a rallying point," Berenson said. "Just a bounce back game number one. Our effort — our total team effort — I thought we were more committed on the puck, we won more battles, we won more races. This is definitely a game that we can remember; I wish we were not having the time off now. I think we were a little rusty and a little bit out of synch last night, and then tonight we get in synch, and now we are going to take two weeks off. Nevertheless, it is a good game to finish the first half."
The first two periods were scoreless, though, as Slubowski was making a series of tough saves. At times this year, Slubowski has merely needed to be a caretaker, facing under 20 shots in numerous games. But he made 22 saves in the first two periods.
Finally, early in the third, Brennan Serville got on the board for Michigan with his first of the season. Later, Jacob Trouba, who will miss the Great Lakes Invitational while he participates for Team USA at the World Junior Championships, scored a power-play goal to seal it.
"We didn't make the mistakes that we made (Friday) night," Berenson said. "I thought we did a better job on the penalty killing and on the power play we capitalized. We got a goal from an unexpected source, and that is kind of what happened to them last night; they got goals from unexpected sources. That is the difference in these games; the games are so close. I thought our team played with a lot more will and conviction than we played with last night. It was good; we didn't get scored on early. I thought our team came out to play harder, and they knew they were embarrassed last night. It was a good win."
The team has two weeks off before the GLI, where it will face Michigan Tech. The Wolverines could see Western Michigan again; the Broncos face Michigan State in the first round.
"We've been struggling a little bit here, and getting a win against a good Western Michigan team — we have two weeks to think about it and start getting back at it in practice to get ready for the GLI," Janecyk said.
Said Serville, "We've been struggling, and I think everybody's buying in right now. It was definitely a confidence booster. We'll be missing (Jacob) Trouba in the GLI, so we're going to have to play some tough defense like we did tonight and get some more Ws like we did here."

WASHINGTON — In the spirit of the holiday season, President Barack Obama's tax-cut deal with Republicans is becoming a Christmas tree tinseled with gifts for lobbyists and lawmakers. But that hardly stopped the squabbling on Friday, with Bill Clinton even back at the White House pleading the president's case.
While Republicans sat back quietly, mostly pleased, Democrats and other liberals were going at each other ever so publicly. As Clinton spoke on Obama's behalf, Vermont independent Bernie Sanders castigated the agreement for the TV cameras in the mostly empty Senate chamber.
The final package, released late Thursday, would extend tax credits for producing ethanol and for hiring Native Americans. It would maintain deductions for teachers who buy their own supplies and businesses that donate books to charity.
It has tax breaks for restaurants, movie producers and NASCAR track owners. It has a special "economic development credit" for investors in American Samoa.
The provisions — long-standing tax breaks that are renewed by Congress year after year — are layered on top of a two-year extension of the larger, Bush administration income tax cuts that Republicans and Democrats have been fighting about for months.
"This tax bill is not in line with fundamental tax reform," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a reform advocate who has yet to decide whether to support the package in a critical vote set for Monday. "It's essentially propping up this broken system that we've got today."
The final package — which contains $801 billion in tax cuts paired with a $57 billion extension of emergency jobless benefits — was drafted by the White House and lawmakers in both parties and is intended to boost the economy. But its final shape emphasizes the lingering disconnect between high-flown concerns about the mounting national debt and the ground-level reluctance to raise taxes or demand other public sacrifices necessary to reduce government borrowing.
The tax deal also includes ethanol subsidies for rural folks, commuter tax breaks for their cousins in the cities and suburbs and wind and solar grants for the environmentalists — all aimed at winning votes, particularly from reluctant Democrats.
The holiday additions are being hung on the big bill that was Congress' main reason for spending December in Washington, long after the elections that will give Republicans new power in January.
On Friday, there were contrasting events for public consumption.
On Capitol Hill, Sanders spoke vigorously for more than eight hours in a virtually empty chamber, urging defeat of a measure he said would give "tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires who don't need it."
At the White House, Obama turned over the briefing room microphone to former President Clinton, who declared, "I don't believe there is a better deal out there." All sides, he said, "are going to have to eat some things they don't like."
Almost $5 billion in subsidies for corn-based ethanol and a continuing tariff to protect against ethanol imports were wrapped up for farm-state lawmakers and agribusiness lobbyists.
The ethanol money was added despite a growing congressional opposition to subsidizing the fuel after decades of government support. Last month, 17 Republican and Democratic senators wrote to leaders calling the tax breaks "fiscally indefensible," because there's already a law that requires ethanol be blended into gasoline.
But ethanol still has powerful supporters on Capitol Hill, including Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee and a key negotiator on the Senate tax bill.
But while the add-ons may have won more votes for the Obama-GOP deal in the Senate, their potential impact is less clear in the House, where Democrats have criticized the package as a tax giveaway to the rich.
And there's the possibility the added goodies will have opposite the intended effect for some lawmakers. Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said the add-ons could turn his fiscally conservative colleagues against the bill.
"You don't want to be accused out there of supporting stimulus three," he said. "It will knock some votes off in the House, but more than anything it will show the voters out there that things haven't changed with Republicans."
Meanwhile, even the package pending in Congress offers glimmers of hope that lawmakers may be ready to start paring back the profusion of loopholes that have crept into the tax code since the last major overhaul in 1986, during the Reagan administration.
The current bill contains two major new tax breaks aimed at creating jobs and boosting the economy. An expanded incentive for businesses would permit them to write off 100 percent of the cost of capital investments next year, while another provision would cut payroll taxes for workers from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent on income up to $106,800 in 2011, for a potential savings of up to $4,272 per couple.
But the bill does not contain a single new perk requested by a lawmaker, congressional aides said, perhaps a first for major tax legislation. And although lawmakers and the White House agreed to extend dozens of tax breaks that have been around for years, they agreed to drop more than 40 others, aides said, including a deduction for property taxes enacted in 2008 that benefits millions of homeowners who do not itemize on their tax returns.
