Overall Experience:
Small classes and personal attention from instructors,and assisted field work and internships.
The ability to focus on one subject at a time, all school should have one class at a time. It is proven that the mind can not multitask and focuses on one thing at a time.
Academic Flexibility:
It's close to where I liive. Why do we get I-pads for my books????????? I love that all my book are in one places on my tablet but the school useses Microsoft for all there computer and programs. Why use apple tablets? They are not compatible with anything we use and only are good for my text books, not doing any work. It was a poor dissition to use I-pads instead of a table the is compatible with Microsoft.
Academic Experience:
It's is not possible to enroll with out picking a major. The basic education classes relate directly to my major; anatomy, math, speach and medical terminology. Other colleges have people taking classes that have nothing to do with there major like ; anomie, a second language, politics, history, thinks they will never use in the career.
Academic Experience:
The programs are all focused, the work load is huge but really relavent to my field of study. The best think is the open door policy, I can take to any staff or the dean whenever they are avliable.
Career Services:
I am in school still so I don, t know about after grad, and I did not seek anything before I started school.
Campus Resources:
The things I feel I laking at this school is on campus resources. Thee is no housing, no gym and no cafeteria or courtyard.
Campus Resources:
The wi-if is fast but times out too fast and make having to log in often a bit of a pain. The computer labs are nice but are also used as class room, which I think they should not be. They should be open at all time for students to work.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The financial aid pays for 1 out of every 4 payments as loung as I make all my payments on time. This is a private schools so the is no government funding to the school, it does make the tuition cost greater.
Student Body:
It's good to get to know the people in my classes. We all have the same classes at the same time making it easy to stay in tuch and have study groups
Academic Flexibility:
This is my first year at Brown Mackie, transferring my credits was very easy. All of the credits were accepted in the school, as well as the compass score, which allowed to compass out of any math, reading or writing classes. Everyone has been helpful in getting classes set up and ready to start. The school had morning and night classes, that I was able to pick which best fit my needs.
Online Courses:
The online course are very useful, in spreading the horizon on the topic. The classes pushes the students to think futher then the basic idea. The layout is simple to navate though. The classes offers eough time to complete each assignment. The students are also great at working together knowing each is reaching for the same goal. The teachers are helpful in answering the questions by leading in the right direction not by giving answer.
Brown Mackie is great in the time able to get your degree and the time blocks for each class. For a single mom like myself that was very helpful, the hour fit in with the daycare hours and still allows me to work while going to school. The school also offers the brige program and the RN program. It is wonderful to stay at the same school while I reached my goal.
Brown Mackie College is the only school within 300 miles of my residence that offers the Biomedical technician program. I am very lucky.
Student Body:
So far all of my interaction with faculty and students at Brown Mackie College has been positive. I am looking forward to my continuing education at this institution. Due to my selection of Biomedical Technician, I did not have a large number of colleges to choose from. I am pleased to be attending Brown Mackie College.
Campus Resources:
Brown Mackie has a great resource center including: computer lab, library, printing on campus and much more.
Academic Flexibility:
Brown Mackie is extremely flexible. The staff is there for you.
Student Body:
They have great and friendly staff. They are here for me whenever I need them.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The education is well worth the money. They make all of their fees known and they work with you to make payments that you can afford.
Online Courses:
I'm not a fan of online courses, and here they have blended courses, which means half of your class in online and the other half is in the classroom. I really dislike this, I get more out of having to be in class every day than trying to remember to get online for my class.
Student Body:
My school consists of working class people who have either full time or part time jobs. It's kind of hard to make friends, most of the students are in their late 20s or older. A lot of them are going back to school to further their education or start a new career.
Student Body:
This college has a wide range of professional studies. The students are expected to act professional while attending school.
Academic Flexibility:
I chose this school because it works well with my personal scheduale.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The financial part of the school is amazing. The have a financial adviser work with you one on one for hours at a time. They were extremely helpful in getting me what I needed to attend the college.
Career Services:
I do not know to much about the career Services because I havent had to use them yet. I hear they are great.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful yet at the same time very pure, textured,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A wine that succeeds in combining great depth of flavor and structure with an impressive array of flavors. On top of the tannins is juicy black fruit, cocoa, a welter of spice and ripeness. The acidity and new wood put the wine into a more modern style."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Great nose of blueberries, spices and hints of walnuts. Full body, with a lovely finish of well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. This is structured yet all in finesse. Best in years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes This is another astonishing effort from this small estate. The 2007 is one of the sexiest, most opulent yet powerfully concentrated wines of the vintage. There is not a hard edge to be found in this voluptuously textured, deep St.-Emilion. Abundant aromas and flavors of chocolate, charcoal,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, this wine, which is made under the administration of Hubert de Bouard, tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol. Loads of chalky minerality from limestone soils are obviously present in this wine, which has a dense purple color, a viscous, full-bodied..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A more massive style than usual for this property (which normally produces elegant wines), the 2009 Magdelaine exhibits a classic kirsch liqueur note, but the color is more saturated, the tactile impression more full, meaty, and rich, and the wine is more loaded and dense. Filled with elegance as..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fresh melon and green apple notes intermixed with hints of mango and pineapple, zesty acidity and subtle oak all make for a delicious, full-throttle wine.
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"
Cellar/Tasting Notes An absolutely stunning nose of violets, creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, forest floor and subtle new oak burst from the glass. The wine has great fruit, superb texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and an extravagantly rich, concentrated palate with low acidity and ripe tannin.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Coutet 2009 is a sensational effort from Philippe Baly and his team. It has a fragrant nose of honey, vervain tea, pineapple, frangipane and apple-blossom, well defined if needing a little more vigour at the moment. The palate is vibrant on the entry, informed by touches of apricot and orange..

The final was 55-7 after the home team led 55-0 at halftime. Piedmont began inserting reserves in the second quarter. The starters, who normally play one second-half series on offense and one on defense even in blowouts, never saw the field after intermission.
"I thought our kids were really crisp in the first half," Piedmont coach Steve Smith said. "We didn't turn it over. We created about four turnovers, had the punt return for a touchdown."
The win sets the stage for Friday's game at Leeds. Piedmont (4-0) will be trying to keep its No. 2 ranking in the Class 3A Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. Leeds wants to climb back toward the top after losing to Trinity Presbyterian in Week 2. Piedmont won a 7-0 defensive struggle last year in Piedmont.
"Next week will be an old-fashioned slugfest," Smith said. "Leeds, they pride themselves on defense and being physical and we feel like we've got a good defense and like to get to the ball and hit. I definitely think it will be a fun affair."
Piedmont was certainly the more physical team in its win over Cleveland. The Bulldogs caused and recovered two fumbles. Cleveland had 12 rushing yards, no passing yards, no first downs and three interceptions when Piedmont's second defense took the field with about eight minutes left in the second quarter. At that point, the Bulldogs led 42-0.
Smith said he felt the turning point of the game was Cleveland coach Gardner Gilliland's decision not to play his son, Peyton, normally the starter for the Panthers at quarterback and safety. Smith said the sophomore had gained 100 yards both rushing and passing in each of Cleveland's first three wins. The younger Gilliland had been battling quad injuries he suffered in last week'a 29-0 win over Ashville.
"I can't overstate it. He's a fine player. He's what makes them run if you look at their first three games. You take that kind of player away from any team and they're obviously a little bit handcuffed," Smith said.
While little went right for Cleveland, Piedmont had one of those games when virtually nothing went wrong. The Bulldogs started on offense and needed just six plays to move 63 yards. Wide receiver Denard Spears took a short pass from quarterback Ty Sparks and ran 20 yards for the touchdown. Exavyer Jackson's kick made it 7-0 three minutes into the contest.
Cleveland ran three plays and punted. Spears took the punt, faked a reverse, then cut back across the field and down the home sideline for a 72-yard scoring return. The extra point missed but the Bulldogs were on the prowl with a 13-0 edge.
Piedmont lost the ball on downs on its next possession after a fake punt came up short of first-down yardage. Smith said the play was put into the plan for Cleveland and the lack of success was the only negative he could point to in the game.
The Panthers kept the ball for one play, an interception by safety Tyler Lusk at the Piedmont 23-yard line. A short pass by Lusk to C.J. Savage that eventually covered 38 yards produced the score. Easton Kirk made the extra point.
The first of two interceptions by safety Bayley Blanchard led to an 8-yard run by Dreek Thompson to make it 26-0.
In the second quarter, Piedmont got a safety then a 54-yard touchdown pass from Sparks to Cody Daughtry for a 35-0 advantage. After Blanchard's second pick, Darnell Jackson ran 13 yards for another Piedmont score.
Jaret Prater recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and ran it in from 14 yards out to make the score 48-0 less than three minutes into the second quarter. Five minutes later, Prater, normally a linebacker, scored Piedmont's final touchdown on a 85-yard run around left end.

- Health Notes
Rice ProteinRice Protein
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyAtherosclerosis Refer to label instructions [1 star]Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets.Athletic Performance Refer to label instructions [1 star]Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.Obesity Refer to label instructions [1 star]Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.
Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

Comments about EXCLUSIVE SUPPLEMENTS BIORhythm 100% Whole Gains Naturally Anabolic Protein - Seedless Watermelon:
SO after 7 months of using this product, I have given up on it. The inconsistency in the taste is not worth the hassle anymore. GNC doesn't sell it at their local stores, so you have to buy it on line, and then when it's a bad batch, you can't just go to the store and exchange it. I've contacted the maker of this and it's been 4 days and no response to my e-mail yet. The fact that this company would even let batches out that taste wrong shows poor quality control and lack of concern for their customers. I've switched to isopure, and that i can get local at the vitamin shoppe for way less than what gnc sells it for. I tried to contact GNC to do an exchange rather than a return, and i got a form letter on doing a return. So i'm also done with gnc.

Comments about EXCLUSIVE SUPPLEMENTS BIORhythm 100% Whole Gains Naturally Anabolic Protein - Seedless Watermelon:
This is the best tasting protein I,ve ever tried, if you don't get a bad batch. If it,s good, it tastes great, but when you get that bad batch it tastes almost rancid, and has no watermelon flavor. I,ve gotten 2 bad ones so far, and am getting ready to exchange my second bad bottle. I really like this product and have told many people about it, but the inconsistant product is very disappointing. I hope they get their act together soon.

Beginner Information
E-Cigarettes are a futuristic advance in science that look, feel, and taste like a tobacco cigarette and require the same mechanical motions. They expel an almost odorless water vapor that looks like smoke, but isn't.
The secret to what makes the E-Cigarettes better than traditional smoking is what's inside this revolutionary product.
Cartomizers are single-use cartridges that have the atomizer pre-installed. The Liquid Nicotine (E-Liquid) housed in our pre-filled 7's Cartomizers contain Nicotine equivalent to approximately one pack of tobacco cigarettes. As the smoker takes a draw, the atomizer uses current from the battery to convert the liquid Nicotine, and specially formulated flavors, into vapor.
Although we cannot speculate on all establishments' specific policies, Electronic Cigarettes are permissible in most public environments.
You are breathing out water vapor, not smoke, so it can be used in areas where normal smoking bans are in place like bars, restaurants, airports and offices.
Why Choose 7's E-Cigarettes?
- New e-cigarette smokers
- Experienced e-smokers
- Advanced e-smokers
- Freedom to smoke anywhere
- No smoke, no odor, no ash
- Save up to 85% over tobacco
- 99.7% customer satisfaction rating
- Elite customer service (M-F 9AM-6PM CST)

I'm Jess :) I'm 19, and welcome to my corner of the internet.
I have a face and sometimes I post photos that can be found if you click here!
Blackcurrant capri suns, musicals and acapella music are the way to my heart.
I like McFly, Glee, The Book of Mormon, Pentatonix and Supernatural stupid amounts & Tom Fletcher and Darren Criss are my heroes.
I'm currently living in London studying creative writing and media studies at Kingston University.
If you ever need anyone to talk to, I am always here. Remember, you're not alone.
Thanks for joining me in this wierd and wonderful place, be sure to say hi!
remember when me and my best friend travelled eleven hours to see some dickhead play some disney songs for an hour?
still the best day of my life. <3
I was trying to explain to someone the other day what Darren makes you feel like in the presence of him. And it really got me thinking.
This is my video of Human from The Borderline in July. at about 25 seconds onwards, you can hear us all giggling & if you listen closely you can hear me whisper "Jesus fuckkkk!" & at random points throughout~ and then when he sings "I may just help you, but i still don't like your face" & "I just wanted to hear yall laugh"
I still can't word it. He has this aura about him that kind of makes you, in the least controlling way possible. He's like this little ball of sunshine and happiness, and you can't help but feel happy and giggly and smiley when you're seeing him, no matter what he's doing. and it sounds silly but its obvious that he wants you to feel like that. Its clear that through his show he just wants you to celebrate for that hour. It sort of feels like a "leave your troubles at the door" kind of thing. All I know is that the boy absolutely radiates love and passion and warmth and its impossible not to sigh when you're in his presence.
also, still having genuine problems believing that I was there….
Yeah, looking back on it, my summer has been incredible. I feel so blessed to have such incredible opportunities & the people in my life who allow me to do so. :)
Darren Criss - Beauty (Live).

What does future hold for lottery-bound teams?
The Sixth Man (cont.)
The Sixth Man (cont.)
The Sixth Man (cont.)
The league is now split into two worlds -- teams that are focused more than ever on the here and now of the playoffs, and teams that are already looking ahead to next year. Raptors president Bryan Colangelo is part of the latter group, and he has reason for optimism.
"We're young," he said. "We've got really good talent. We've got depth at every position. We've got a chance for some -- what I'm going to call -- organic growth."
Toronto should improve with the continuing growth of rookies Jonas Valanciunas and Terrence Ross. DeMar DeRozan hasn't peaked, and the Raptors will hope that hard-driving point guard Kyle Lowry can turn the corner after seven frustrated and frustrating seasons with three teams. There is also a full season of Rudy Gay to come, following the midseason trade for the Grizzlies' leading scorer.
"Rudy immediately gave our team a presence in the locker room; it's a quiet presence but a strong presence," said Colangelo. "I think he gives us a little credibility around the league. My counterparts, different media guys that I've talked to, agents, a couple of owners have commented that it's not every day you get a guy like Rudy at his level, and there's a little bit of star power that comes with it."
It also presents questions for the early offseason that begins with the official end to the season next week. How will the Raptors fill out their rotation around Gay? They're surely going to gauge interest in a trade for Andrea Bargnani, their former No. 1 pick who has been rumored to be on the move for the last year. They must also decide whether to commit to Lowry, whose $6.2 million expiring salary for next season can be bought-out by Toronto for $1 million. The Raptors' new ownership group must itself decide the future of Colangelo, who effectively will be a free agent, and coach Dwane Casey, who has another year on his deal.
Ownership would be smart to maintain the investment in Colangelo and Casey for at least another year, rather than bring in a new group that would be inclined to tear down and start over. Under the new rules of the collective bargaining agreement, tearing down and starting over is more difficult than ever. In the case of Toronto, the prospects are, at the very least, intriguing.
Here is a look ahead at the questions that will face the Raptors' peer group -- the other 14 teams that have or may miss the playoffs (including the Jazz and Lakers, who are fighting for the final postseason spot) -- this summer. Let's work our way up from the bottom of the league standings:
30. Charlotte Bobcats. It's a draft without stars, but the Bobcats can still expect to add a solid player with their high draft pick. They could spend the next year seeking a trade into their cap space, but their best long-term move will probably be to develop their current roster while earning another high pick in the draft next year (when the talent is supposed to rise) and then begin to spend their cap space in 2014, when Ben Gordon's contract will expire. In the meantime they must make decisions on the future for restricted free agent Gerald Henderson and emerging big man Byron Mullens.
29. Orlando Magic. Their keepers include center Nikola Vucevic, small forward Tobias Harris, shooting guard Maurice Harkless and swingman Arron Afflalo. They can continue to develop their young players while waiting for substantial cap space to emerge in 2014 with the expiration of Hedo Turkoglu's $12 million salary. Another option would be to package some of their young assets in order to acquire a star by trade, in much the same way as Toronto acquired Gay from Memphis for cap reasons.
28. Phoenix Suns. Their first decision will involve whether to turn interim coach Lindsey Hunter into a permanent hire. They'll have a pair of first-round picks along with close to $10 million in cap space this summer. While they can't expect a quick turnaround that will put them back into the playoffs, they will be proactive while trying to add talent around their best player Goran Dragic, who turned out to be a strong signing last summer. Channing Frye could return next season from a heart ailment that sidelined him all of this year.
27. Cleveland Cavaliers. It's hard to understand the talk that coach Byron Scott may be fired, as youth and injuries made it impossible to win in Cleveland this year. Yet the Cavaliers are progressing via Kyrie Irving, who became a first-time All-Star this year, and second-year power forward Tristan Thompson (12 points and 9.8 rebounds since the All-Star break). Anderson Varejao will return from injuries next season and Dion Waiters' shooting should improve over the summer. The plan is to continue to develop the young players while holding onto cap space until the next summer of LeBron in 2014.
26. Detroit Pistons. They'll have plenty of cap space this summer, and could have even more if Charlie Villanueva's $8.6 million salary is written off as amnesty. Will they re-sign free agent point guard Jose Calderon? Will they seek to trade big man Greg Monroe, or do they believe he and Andre Drummond can excel together for years to come? Will Lawrence Frank be brought back as coach? The Pistons are one team that could make a step up in the standings next season if they're able to add scoring on the perimeter and if a strong summer of work enables Drummond to play starter's minutes next year.
25. New Orleans Hornets. The soon-to-be-Pelicans would be advised to not force a trade of Eric Gordon (and the $44.7 million he's owed over the next three years) as his value will be low coming off this year of injury. It'd be better to bring him back healthy and showcase him for a trade in February. Anthony Davis will continue to be developed cautiously next season. In the meantime the Hornets will be seeking to add scorers around him. The goal should be playoff contention for 2014-15.
24. Sacramento Kings. The new owner (whoever and wherever he is) will be overhauling the front office, the coaching staff and the roster this summer. Whether the Kings stay in Sacramento or move to Seattle, the wise move for DeMarcus Cousins would be to create a new environment around him and then see how he responds. The same goes for upcoming unrestricted free agent Tyreke Evans, who will be entering his fifth NBA season but will be only 24.
23. Washington Wizards. They've gone 24-22 this season with John Wall in the lineup, and only LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have surpassed Wall's numbers of 23.1 points, 7.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds in his last 23 games. The defense is strong and Wall should contend for an All-Star breakthrough next year. A decision must be made on free agent Martell Webster. The short-term goal is to continue developing the young talent with coach Randy Wittman through next season, and then see what they can do with the cap space that comes with the 2014 contract expirations of Trevor Ariza and Emeka Okafor.
22. Minnesota Timberwolves. The big issue will be finding a coach to replace Rick Adelman if he chooses to retire this summer. Otherwise a promising year of Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio -- together in good health -- lays ahead. The Wolves don't have a lot of flexibility, but they do have the right to match any offer for Nikola Pekovic, along with enough talent from Andrei Kirilenko, Alexey Shved and others to put them in playoff contention next season.
21. Toronto Raptors. (see above)
20. Philadelphia 76ers. Will Doug Collins stay? What will be done with Andrew Bynum? Even if they renounce everyone, they won't have enough money to sign a star who can replace him. There will be no quick-and-easy solutions for the Sixers.
19. Portland Trail Blazers. They'll have limited cap space and aren't likely to spend it on a long-term deal to bring back J.J. Hickson. They already have two stars in LaMarcus Aldridge and rookie Damian Lillard, who can be expected to keep improving. Nicolas Batum is another keeper. They're a promising team that is likely to be better next year -- but unlikely to make a big leap up.
18. Dallas Mavericks. How many times have we heard about their cap space? If Dwight Howard refuses to leave the Lakers, then the Mavs will be seeking to trade a star into their cap in order to give Dirk Nowitzki another shot, eventually, at title contention.
17. Los Angeles Lakers or Utah Jazz. Neither L.A. nor Utah should be seeking to fire its coach. The Lakers' offseason revolves around Dwight Howard. If they lose him, then Pau Gasol becomes their center for the final year of his deal; if they keep him, then Gasol will probably be on the move, one way or another.
For the Jazz, major decisions must be made on free agents Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap -- with the understanding that at least one of them must be replaced by a scorer on the perimeter.
• Kobe Bryant drives the Lakers. He scored a season-best 47 points while pushing them to a 113-106 win Wednesday at Portland, where the Lakers have had trouble winning in the past. Bryant played 48 minutes against an extremely young Blazers rotation centered around LaMarcus Aldridge, which raises the question of how the Lakers could possibly manage a seven-game series against the Thunder or Spurs. While Pau Gasol has looked strong since his return from plantar fasciitis, a hamstring injury continued to sideline Steve Nash, Metta World Peace rushed back from knee surgery and Dwight Howard continues to deal with his own physical issues. But their dim prospects for a long playoff run don't diminish the play of Bryant, who has been playing on a badly sprained ankle. He has spent recent months discussing his imminent retirement while guaranteeing a playoff appearance for the Lakers. "What he [Bryant] is doing is phenomenal,'' said Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni. "He's determined to get us in the playoffs."
• Jazz move forward without Enes Kanter. The young Jazz center underwent surgery Wednesday to repair his dislocated left shoulder, officially ending his season prematurely. The Jazz remained a half-game behind the Lakers entering the final week, but Utah holds the tiebreaker. Its final three games include a home-and-away series with Minnesota and a season-ending game at Memphis, which may (or may not) need to win that game in order to maintain homecourt advantage for the first round. The Lakers, as usual, face the more difficult schedule against the Warriors, Spurs and Rockets, though all three are at home. It remains hard to imagine Bryant's Lakers missing the playoffs, if only because Bryant won't allow it to happen.
• Heat clinch the No. 1 seed. If the Thunder or Spurs are going to upset the Heat in the NBA Finals, they'll have to beat LeBron James at least once on his home floor. The formerly woebegone Knicks and Clippers each won their divisions, but those achievements reside on a tier below Miami, which has already won a franchise record 62 games and a fourth MVP is surely on the way for James. It could be a straightforward postseason for him and his defending champions.
• A request for resolution in Sacramento. The Maloof family issued a Friday 5 p.m. deadline for Sacramento's potential investors to submit a written, binding offer that matches the $525 million agreement that has been signed with the group in Seattle, the Sacramento Bee reported. The apparent intention was to emphasize that Sacramento has yet to come forth with a binding offer. The terms of the sale to Seattle have been finalized by a signed agreement and cannot be renegotiated down by the prospective owners -- a crucial fact to any owner trying to sell a sports franchise.
• Doug Collins on the way out? The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the 76ers are privately hoping that Collins, 62, won't return for the final year of his contract next season. Collins has been exasperated -- understandably -- by the Sixers' plunge into the lottery, largely the result of the unavailability of injured center Andrew Bynum. The report referred to a power struggle between Collins and the team's relatively new ownership group. Friends of Collins have been predicting all season that he would be unlikely to return for another year.
• Another surgery for Kevin Love. The Timberwolves' star forward underwent surgery on his left knee to remove scar tissue Wednesday. A hand injury had already cost him most of this lost season, but the return of Love and Ricky Rubio -- himself sidelined earlier this season while recovering from knee surgery -- promises a run at the playoffs next season for Minnesota.
• More underclassmen enter the draft. All of the expected lottery picks -- most recently Ben McLemore, Victor Olapido and Cody Zeller -- revealed they'll be turning pro in June, and why not? Next year's draft is expected to be far superior, and waiting until 2014 would reduce the stock of virtually all of the top prospects.
• Bernard King elected to the Hall of Fame. This was a surprise, based on the injuries that shortened his career. But it was also a sign that voters judged his brilliance to be more important than his longevity. The long-term impact is that the candidacy of Alonzo Mourning became more promising.
• Marty Blake dies. Blake, 86, had worked for the NBA for more than 50 years, including more than 35 years as its director of scouting. He was a pioneer in the discovery of players internationally. "Marty began his lifetime of service to basketball at a time when the league was still in its infancy," said NBA Commissioner David Stern. He saw the league grow up to fulfill his vision for what it could be.
The 6-foot-5 guard is finishing his first year with the Celtics, strengthening their defense in the backcourt alongside Avery Bradley. Lee, 27, has played for four NBA teams in five seasons.
• He was raised with two brothers by their single mother in Indianapolis. "There was a lot of gang activity going on. There were definitely drugs involved, but for the most part I stayed away from it because I played sports, and when I went outside with my friends we were playing football. The most dangerous thing was a lot of drive-by shootings. We were outside playing football, and you could hear the tire screeches and gun shots.
"My mother definitely was tough. She had to be -- she was raising three boys. She wanted us to grow up the right way and not get off the right path and get involved in what everybody else was doing, getting involved in the neighborhood.
"Everybody went to college. My oldest brother went to Pace University in New York, and he's in medical science. My other brother went to the University of Indianapolis, and then finished at Ball State. He's an engineer. A month and a half ago I relocated my family [mother and brothers] to Orlando. Indianapolis was good, we all lived there -- born and raised and grew up there. I think they've been there long enough. You go back, so much has changed. All the people you grew up with, they started their families or they've moved on with their life, or moved out of the state. There's really not too much there, besides family. That's why I want to get them closer to me, and I live in Orlando.''
• Basketball wasn't his first choice. "I was a football player. I was quarterback, running back, wide receiver, played safety and cornerback. Once I hit a growth spurt and realized getting hit in the snowy weather is not what I want to do, I started focusing on basketball a little more. That was my freshman year of high school: I was on the football team, and I remember there was one scrimmage. It had to be at least 20-below out. I got hit one time, and I just sat there numb. This is not for me, no more. I switched to basketball.
"My freshman year of high school, I was kind of with the wrong crowd and I wasn't going to class. I wasn't getting the grades I needed to get. My sophomore year I did better, and my junior year was when I turned it around. I got good in basketball, the teams were calling, and then in my senior year I had to go to night school to make up for my freshman year. So a lot of teams were calling, and they weren't giving me offers because they weren't sure if I was going to qualify with my grades and then my test scores. I got in a nice groove my senior year, making up for the D's and F's, and getting A's and B's -- it brought my GPA up. Then I got my test score and the first time I took it, I qualified. The schools that were there from the beginning, even when I wasn't, was Western Kentucky and Bradley University, so I said these are the two schools I'm going to stick with and visit both of them. And I liked Western more than Bradley."
• After four years at Western Kentucky he was picked No. 22 overall by Orlando in the 2008 draft. He found his niche as a defensive player. ``That was something my coaches always wanted me to do. Growing up, I was always a scorer. But I had the capabilities of becoming a good defender; playing defense is just effort. It's what got me on the court in Orlando, and I just stuck with it. Stan [Van Gundy] taught me all the philosophies, the sets, the scheme, the everything of the NBA, especially guarding the pick-and-roll and what not. He put me out there, he had faith in me. I think he's a great coach."
As a rookie he started all five games of the NBA Finals against the champion Lakers. "It was an unbelievable experience. Coming in your first year, you go along that ride of not just being on the team, but part of the plan. My senior year was my first time experiencing the NCAA tournament and we made it to the Sweet 16, so I thought that was the highlight of basketball. Then I got to the NBA and made it to the Finals."
Lee missed a difficult tip-in that would have won Game 2 off an inbounds lob with .06 seconds remaining. The Lakers won that game in overtime. "It stuck with me for a while. You put anybody in that position, you definitely want to make it; but then when you miss it, it definitely makes a statement. I wasn't going to let that define me. I was definitely down about it for a year or two -- always thought about it. But you just have to keep going on. You have to continue to play, keep doing what you do, what you have to do, wherever you're at. It defines character."
The upcoming playoffs will be Lee's first return to the postseason since the '09 Finals. "They [the Celtics] are a playoff-caliber team every year -- you see the guys they had last year, they went to the conference finals and gave [the Heat] a battle for their money. I definitely want to be a part of that again. It's been four years since I've been to the playoffs. I'm thirsty -- that's the term we use around here. I want to get back.''
"I want to keep bringing in pieces that are going to complement them and hope we can have one of those 10-year rides."
-- Pat Riley on the future of the Heat.
This pronouncement by the Miami Heat president was depressing to his rivals throughout the league. They hope that the Heat dynasty will end with the departure of LeBron James as a free agent next summer. Not so, said Riley Sunday. "You think about every team -- the Celtics in the '60s, the Lakers in the '80s, the Bulls [in the '90s] and then again the Spurs. Those guys have been together for eight, nine, 10 years. If we can keep this group together for eight, nine, 10 years, we're all going to have some fun. Don't ever take it for granted. This is a special time."
An NBA advance scout looks at the race for the Most Improved Player award. He opens the discussion with the candidacy of Rockets guard James Harden:
"The question is how much has Harden improved, as opposed to how many more shots is he taking? I don't think he'd be a terrible pick, but I also think his minutes have increased more than he's improved.
"If you look at Harden in the playoffs for Oklahoma City last year, he had a bad stretch -- but there was also a stretch where he was their best player. I think he was already there as a talent. The role that he was in was a good fit for Oklahoma City, and not so much for him. I'm not surprised that he's as good as he is. I saw that he was this good last year.
"Obviously I didn't think the Rockets as a team were going to be as good as they have been. Harden is solely responsible for that. He's proven that he's good enough to be a superstar of a team, which is saying something, but I think most people would have thought that he was able to be the best player on a team.
"I'd say [Rockets center] Omer Asik is more improved than Harden. Even saying that, I already thought Asik was good before this year. Most people that I know [in the league] really like the guy. Maybe he's a little better than a lot of people thought, but I don't think the way he's been playing is a big shock. He's showing that he was better than the backup role that he had in Chicago. I would vote for Asik more so than Harden because Harden was the third-best player on his old team, whereas Asik was not playing Harden's minutes. Now, he's had to do it on a higher-minute basis.
"Jrue Holiday has been horrible lately, but he's actually the first guy I think about for this award. He definitely took a bigger leap those guys in Houston. But on the same scale, he didn't get his team in the playoffs.
"Serge Ibaka has taken a step up, and he's been given the opportunity and moved up to that third-guy role for Oklahoma City. The other one would be Stephen Curry as a guy who has taken that next step and also got his team into the playoffs. His team is better than the Sixers, obviously, but Curry is definitely their star. I just think he's a hell of a player. He has become that guy for a team that hadn't made the playoffs, and now he's made them into a playoff team.
"Greivis Vasquez has got to be in the mix because he's had such a great year. I really liked him when he was a backup, because he tries -- but he just can't quite do it. He's obviously one of the best 30 point guards in the league, but you're a good team if he's your backup. So many times I've seen him at the end of the game when Eric Gordon hasn't been there, when Vasquez has got the ball in his hands, and very rarely can he get it done. But that's not to say he didn't improve a lot. The fact that he's third in the NBA in assists, that's a hell of a step up for him.
"Nikola Vucevic was good last year, but no one saw this coming -- the numbers he's putting up this year. I guarantee you that no one thought he would be this good so early in his career. Larry Sanders also deserves to be considered.
"I'd also say that the jump Paul George made this year was harder than the one Harden made. George looked like a star in spurts last year, but this year he made a big step up. He's not a legitimate All-Star, in my opinion, but he's very close.
"I'm going to say my top three, in no particular order, would be Paul George, Vucevic and Curry.''
These players broke through barriers. None was a Hall of Famer, but great players would follow them through the door.
C: Darryl Dawkins, 76ers, debuted in 1975 -- The 6-11 prodigy became the first high school player to be drafted; he played 14 seasons with four teams.
C: Wang Zhizhi, Mavericks, 2001 -- The 7-footer became the first Chinese player to play in the NBA, two years after the Mavericks surprisingly picked him in the second round. In total, he played five seasons with three teams.
F: Georgi Glouchkov, Suns, 1985 -- The 6-8 Bulgarian became the first European with no American high school or college experience to be drafted (in the seventh round, 148th pick overall) and play in the NBA (49 games for the Suns in 1985-86).
F: Chuck Cooper, Celtics, 1950 -- Became the first black player drafted; played six seasons with four teams.
G: Muggsy Bogues, Bullets, 1987 -- became the first player under 5-6 and shortest player (5-3) in NBA history; played 14 seasons with four teams in an era of big guards.

Land values up whopping 31%
Nebraska's agricultural real estate values jumped 31% in the last year, the largest increase in the 34-year history of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's annual survey.
The 2012 UNL Nebraska Farm Real Estate Survey "confirms what most people close to agriculture already knew — agricultural land values across the state have shot upward in recent months," says Bruce Johnson, the UNL agricultural economist who conducts the survey.
Preliminary survey results show the state's all-land average value as of Feb. 1 to be at $2,410 per acre, 3% above the year-earlier level. The annual gain is a record in both dollar amount and percentage.
Cropland, especially, showed significant value gains in every region of the state, with increases of 35% or more noted in several areas.
At a glance
• The land-value rise is the largest in 34 years of UNL surveys.
• The amount of land for sale in any given market is minimal.
• Cash rental rates climbed in the 10% to 20% range.
"Clearly, a booming cash-grain economy in 2011 translated into spirited bidding for cropland," Johnson says. "And, at the same time that demand was robust, the amount of land for sale in any given local area was generally minimal."
According to Johnson, survey reporters said the land-transfer market has been so thin that it's difficult to get a good reading on it.
Grazing land
Grazing land classes showed more modest value gains for the year, but overall for the state, the survey still showed a 19% increase for non-tillable grazing land. The tillable grazing land class, which is land considered to have the potential to be converted to cropland, recorded significantly higher values and larger percentage value gains in those areas of the state where no moratoriums preclude further irrigation expansion.
Reflecting the great resource diversity across the state, the per-acre values of land vary significantly. For example, the average value of center-pivot irrigated land (value of the pivot system excluded) ranges from about $2,600 per acre in the Northwest District to nearly $8,000 per acre in the East District, with the highest-quality irrigated land exceeding $10,000 per acre. Dryland cropland values show an even greater spread of more than seven-fold from west to east.
Rental rates
The UNL survey also reported higher cash-rental rates for 2012 for all the land classes. But the percentage advances of cash rents over the previous year were considerably below the land-value advances. For cropland, the cash-rent advances usually fell in the 10% to 20% range.
Johnson says it's reasonable to ask whether the gains of last year are sustainable.
"If one assumes that farm incomes will remain at 2011 earnings levels or higher, then one may answer with a guarded yes," he says. "However, more likely is an immediate future that is economically volatile for production agriculture, triggered by weather patterns, the strength of the dollar, interest rates, international financial fallouts, and political unrest both here and abroad.
"That said, there is no question that some retreat of these value advances could easily happen in the next few years," Johnson adds, calling that a "reality reset. And it may be just what is needed as market participants are able to more accurately assess the underlying market fundamentals."
Final numbers from this year's report will be available later this spring. For more information, see the Department of Agricultural Economics newsletter at the departmental website, www.agecon.unl.edu.

Farms are fewer, but larger
Nebraska's number of farms and ranches declined less than 1% during 2011, according to the Nebraska field office of USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
The number of farms and ranches in the state — 46,800 — was down 400 farms from 2010.
The number of farms and ranches in Nebraska with less than $100,000 in agricultural sales declined by 800 farms, while operations with more than $100,000 were up 400 farms. The prime reason for the big jump in the latter was due to those farms moving into higher sales categories.
Land in farms and ranches in Nebraska totaled 45.5 million acres, a decline of 100,000 acres from the previous year. The average size of an operation, at 972 acres, increased by 6 acres from 2010.

text: I suspect the balancer is unable to fully react to some pressure changes due to the large difference in volume flow between shower and tub. It should, of course, so the first step I would do is is get an inexpensive pressure gauge at the hardware store, connect it to a bibb or faucet on the house side of your regulator, and measuer both static ( no water running) and dynamic ( some faucet full on) pressures. These readings may be informative.

Summary of Blue-Water Empire Summary of Blue-Water Empire Reviews for Blue-Water Empire An Excerpt from Blue-Water Empire
Robert Holland traces the remarkable experience of British mastery in the Mediterranean from the Battle of the Nile to El Alamein and the end of empire, exploring the unique and often explosive relationships that shaped the region's modern history. For nearly two hundred years the Mediterranean lay at the heart of British power overseas—what Winston Churchill called "Britain's first battlefield." Robert Holland's sweeping new book tells the story of an extraordinary experience combining the military imposition of British rule with a constant enthusiasm for Mediterranean life enduring today, and which has left many legacies in administration, culture, language, law and architecture. From Nelson's great victories against the French to El Alamein and the Malta convoys of the Second World War, the Mediterranean shaped Britain's own fate as much as Britain shaped the future of the Mediterranean.

As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! Just use the pre-paid return label included in your order within 60 days from the purchase date. And of course, please make sure the item is in like-new condition with original packaging (we said 'fitting room', not 'war room'!).
Developed by Farriers for Farriers!
Farriers' Fix Hoof Oil is a therapeutic, topical treatment that benefits the entire hoof from the coronary band to the sole and frog. It is great for use on horses with hoof issues like sore feet, quarter cracks, laminitis, and thrush. It's also great for general hoof maintenance and use on your horse's hoof pads.
Farriers' Fix has ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS and those who compete can be assured that it has tested negative under FEI guidelines. Horses that were suffering from stone bruises or were trimmed too short, in many cases, were rideable the next day – the ultimate proof of a product that works."
Farriers' Fix Hoof Oil helps prevent thrush and other bacteria from forming. By painting the sole and frog and saturating the packing with Farriers' Fix, the oil will feed into the hoof rather than wick it away. Leather pads do not break down as fast when saturated with Farriers' Fix.
