In Shape And In Form, Mitch McGary Is Now Michigan's 'Monster'
Whether standing or seated, Mitch McGary carries himself proudly. His head is up, his shoulders are back, his sheer size and muscularity readily apparent without the need for any posturing. His impressive build, especially when seen from up close, makes it all that much harder to believe that at any point recently, McGary was out of shape.
But as he's become the talk of the NCAA tournament with his breakout performances and physical dominance, everyone from McGary to his teammates to his coaches more or less said that was the case as little as six weeks ago. McGary says he was carrying 20 pounds more than he currently is, a lack of dedication to fitness, nutrition and individual skill development hampering his ability to make an impact.
In asking multiple Wolverines, there wasn't an intervention, per se, not a single moment where a bunch of them got together and told McGary things needed to change. But a chorus of voices got into McGary's head and finally got through to him. Habits changed, discipline was regained, and the Wolverines are now seeing the fruits of that improvement in the man they call "Monster" as they roll into the Final Four.
"He was a little bit overweight. He got in shape, learned his role," said close friend and classmate Glenn Robinson III. "It's kind of hard to come in and want to accept your role, especially when you've been the leading scorer all your life. He learned his role, learned the offense, and learned what Coach B wants from him. We're just lucky it's happening at this time of the season."
After the dominant win over Florida in the regional final, head coach John Beilein said the seeds of putting McGary into the starting lineup in place of junior Jordan Morgan were planted during Michigan's slow start against Penn State in the Big Ten tournament. The Wolverines won that game, and Morgan started again the next day against Wisconsin, but in those two games, McGary played a total of 46 minutes to Morgan's 18. Beilein said he figured Morgan would be mature enough to handle coming off the bench and still be productive, and that he wanted to "make sure if we're going to play right now, let's put the best five players on the floor to start."
That's been the case since the start of the NCAA tournament, and McGary has gone off. In just under 30 minutes a game in the NCAAs, he's averaging 17.5 points and 11.5 rebounds a game on 33-for-55 shooting. He's also chipping in almost three steals per contest as his skill level has combined with his hustle and better conditioning to allow him to make impact plays all over the court.
"Being in better shape, being able to run and have that better endurance, stay on the court for longer periods of time," McGary said about his physical evolution has helped him improve his team. "Just helping the team any way I can."
His performances have been especially eye-opening since both Kansas and Florida more or less disrespected him in the press conferences leading up to those games. Jayhawks big man Jeff Withey wondered aloud whether McGary is really the 6-foot-10 at which he's listed. McGary subsequently destroyed Kansas with a 25-and-14, and was the primary reason the Wolverines remained in touching distance long enough to mount their frantic late comeback.
Despite that, the next day Gators' center Patric Young claimed that most of McGary's production was thanks to Trey Burke creating easy baskets for him. While that may be true, in part, it ignores McGary's own skill level and his ability to impact the game through rebounding and steals, as well. McGary had eight early points along with five boards that set the tone in the Wolverines' 20-point win.
Next up is Syracuse, a team that's ripe to be exploited by a player with McGary's skill set. If Michigan can get the ball into the heart of the Orange zone, or get good looks from the perimeter, McGary should be well positioned to receive drop-off passes on the baseline or get his own buckets off the offensive glass. Earlier this month, it would have seemed crazy to be talking about McGary as one of the major keys in a national semifinal, but here he is, in shape and playing his best basketball as a collegian. And despite how much of a revelation he looks like, this doesn't seem to surprise his teammates that much at all.
"I knew we could get this. I don't know if coach knew that. I don't know if anyone else who hasn't been around Mitch knew that, but I knew we could get that Mitch out of there," Robinson said. "I've watched him play, I've played with him so many times. This is what he's capable of every night. That's what I expect out of him. Same goes for him, that's what he expects out of himself."

Bring those meds with you!

Bring those meds with you!
New member, lurking for the last few months and drinking in information. I want to thank the folks on this site and the informative posts for potentially saving my first African safari!
My wife and I just returned from 21 amazing days in Africa. Hunted for 13 days and toured parts of Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa as part of our adventure.
Hunting started easily enough with Zebra, Kudu, and a sweet Cape Buffalo "dagga boy" taken during the first portion. My dream of a Limpopo bushbuck was next and we had a hell of a hunt, working trails in thick cover (near Kruger) on foot and seeing a number of animals but no shooters. (I think I let a world record red duiker walk away and may regret that if I ever get interested in the Tiny 10) Anyway cutting to the chase I shot a fabulous bushbuck, 15 7/8ths and was on cloud nine, then saw the cloud of pepper ticks walking all over my exposed legs and arms. PH and I were covered with them. Brushed off, applied repellant, moved on to photo shoot. Carefully inspected myself later, could find no bites or attached ticks. Generally bugs dont like me so I wasnt suprised.
A few days later up in the Kalahari the splitting headache started. Easily killed with excedrin and I blamed it on Jack Daniels, went back to hunting. Then started feeling a bit punky. Then my glands near my right armpit swelled up like a tennis ball. Classic case of tick bite fever based on what I read here. Fortunately I had Doxy with me based on advice I read here and started it immediately. I was back to 100% 3 days later and completed the rest of our hunting and touring without issues. I finished the 7 day course of meds and everything went back to normal.
Found the tick bite finally. Right hand, between my 4th and 5th fingers in the thin web where the fingers meet the hand. I had blamed that irritation on the thorns we dealt with recovering the bushbuck but it was in fact a bite from one of the nearly invisible little bastards. red swelling, darker mark in center, itched like hell later.
So my message is pay attention to these posts on what the veteran's suggest you bring along. My family doctor was a jerk on getting the necessary prescriptions in hand but I persisted and having those medications available saved my trip and investment.
Thanks! great web site and resource! I cant wait to go back!

Good advice Elmer. I found a tick this past June in the most unnerving of places while is RSA. I will never again go to Africa without treating my clothing to repel the little bastards. Regarding the rest of your report.....well done. However, as politely as I can say.....

Pepper ticks are the larval stage of regular ticks but still nasty little buggers. Glad this site was some help in salvaging your hunt. After my bout with Tick Fever, meds will be with me also when I venture to the Dark Continent. BTW, I once turned down a for real 20" + Bushbuck. My first hunt and I already had a good one in the bag. I've been kicking myself since 1999 over that one. My PH about kicked me at the time. He said it was easily in the top 10.IF YOU GO ONCE-YOU WILL GO AGAIN-DEAL WITH IT

Welcome to AH, Elmer.
When I came back from SA this August, I found a large green tick attached to my scrotum !
An immediate trip to the hospital to have it removed, antibiotics, and not a single problem afterwards.

The ticks can be so inconspicous. On my flight back from RSA this summer i felt that my left foot was swollen up a bit, but wrote it off as swelling from the flight. Got home, took off my sock and there was an engorged tick that fell off, he had gotten me just under my little toe. Luckily, did not develop any symptoms, but i will spray my gear next time!

We wore the Ex-Officio permethrin treated clothing for the most part but the issue was that with the high temps I just couldnt stand to have the pant legs zipped on. In the end no harm done apparently as I felt fine within a couple days of starting the meds and feel fine now a couple weeks later. The site of the bite on my right hand is still not completely healed up but its not irritating me any further. I will post some photos in the correct forum once I figure out how. All in all a great trip, challenging hunting at times, well worth the aggravation, long flights etc. Great wine down in Stellenbosch. Already planning a return trip as soon as I can scratch up the scrip to pay for it.

The New Direction Congress is demanding President Bush to "Free our Oil." Releasing oil from the government's stockpile could bring immediate relief in 10 days.
In contrast, John McCain is calling on Congress to return to Washington to vote on the Republican "Drill Only" plan that will save consumers only 2 cents more than 10 years from now.
But when Sen. McCain had an opportunity to vote for real energy solutions, he was a no show.
Today, the Washington Post noted, "This Friday will mark the four-month anniversary of the last time McCain actually cast a vote in the Senate. Since April 8, he's missed 103 consecutive floor votes, including several on energy-related issues. That's a remarkable streak, even for a presidential candidate. McCain is like the anti-Cal Ripken." [August 7, 2008]
McCain Only Senator to Miss Vote to Repeal Tax Subsidies for Big Oil in Order to Fund Tax Incentives for Renewable Energy - Measure Defeated By One Vote
In 2007, John McCain was the only senator who failed to vote on a motion to limit debate on the 2007 energy bill that would have stripped $13 billion in tax subsidies for big oil companies to fund tax incentives for renewable energy instead. This vote was critical to making a $21 billion investment in clean, renewable energy and energy efficiency, including a $3,000 tax credit to help working families afford fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. But the measure failed on a 59-40 vote, falling one vote shy of the 60 votes needed to end debate and move the bill forward. McCain aides say he would have opposed ending debate. [2007 Vote #425, 12/13/07, McCain Absent]
McCain Only Senator to Miss Vote on Critical Renewable Energy Tax Incentive Package - Measure Defeated By One Vote
The package needed 60 votes under Senate rules to move forward but failed 58 to 41, with 8 Republicans joining 48 Democrats and 2 independents in support of it. The measure included an extension of the renewable energy tax credit and energy efficiency tax incentives for homes, appliances and commercial buildings. McCain aides say he would have opposed the measure. [2008 Vote #8, 2/6/08, Failed 58-41, McCain Absent]

- Oakdale teen mom Nicole Beecroft, convicted of killing baby, to get new trial
Before the start of a new trial in the death of her newborn baby, Nicole Beecroft is requesting the disqualification of the Washington County district judge who found her guilty in 2008.
Beecroft was accused of stabbing her baby daughter to death moments after her April 2007 birth in the basement laundry room of her Oakdale home.
Now 22, Beecroft was 17 at the time of the baby's death. She was tried as an adult.
Judge Mary Hannon heard the case -- Beecroft waived her right to a jury trial -- and convicted her of first-degree premeditated murder in December 2008. Beecroft was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
But the Minnesota Supreme Court in May reversed the conviction and awarded Beecroft a new trial.
The high court's decision was based primarily on the interference of prosecutors that prevented the defense from calling outside medical examiners as key witnesses.
While those witnesses may not have changed the outcome of the case, Beecroft's inability to call them prevented her from presenting a more thorough defense, the Supreme Court said.
Beecroft's case was sent back to the district court. As is standard practice, the case was returned to the original judge who oversaw it.
But in her motion to have the Hannon removed, Beecroft questioned the judge's ability to review the case without bias.
"At this stage in the proceedings, given judge Hannon's thorough and methodical written findings and legal conclusions, it is impossible to believe that she -- or indeed, anyone similarly situated, could begin the proceedings again, with an 'absence of bias or prejudice' towards Ms. Beecroft," said Beecroft's motion, filed June 19 by defense attorneys Christine Funk and Luke Stellpflug.
Beecroft argues that allowing Hannon to remain on the case "is tantamount to allowing a juror to sit twice for the same case," which is prohibited by the Minnesota Rules of Criminal Procedure, and to "asking (Hannon) to second guess her own previous judgment."
Washington County Attorney Pete Orput, whose office is prosecuting Beecroft, said that in recent memory there have been a few similar dismissal requests. He said the requests can be appealed to the Supreme Court and can immobilize the trial for months or longer.
"If you ask me, I think that's what they'll do in this case," Orput said. "If they appeal it, I would guess it would go to the Supreme Court due to its importance. And you know how long that can take."
Beecroft was arrested in April 2007, after police found her newborn daughter wrapped in a bag, along with a bloody knife in a trash can in front of her home. A medical examiner said the girl had been stabbed more than 100 times.
Beecroft's defense at her murder trial hinged on the theory that the girl was stillborn.
In the wake of Beecroft's trial and publicity of prosecutor-imposed limitations, restrictions on medical examiners were lifted. The Supreme Court's ruling subsequently confirmed those rules were unconstitutional.

Library of Congress Subject Headings
|Finding Library of Congress Subject Headings Tips for Selecting Subject Headings
Non fiction materials included in the HSU Library Catalog (and most other library catalogs) are indexed using Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). From 270,000 possible subject headings an average of 2-3 subjects are assigned to a typical work indexed in a library catalog. If more than 20% of a work is devoted to a subject, it will generally receive a unique subject heading. The advantage of searching with subject headings is that materials with a similar theme are brought together under one valid subject rather than you having to come up with relevant synonyms. LCSH includes over 490,000 cross references pointing to valid subjects.
Finding Library of Congress Subject Headings
You can use the following options to identify valid subject headings:
1. Search LCSH Databases
2. Library Catalog Subject Search
- Library of Congress Authorities (Library of Congress) To retrieve all information related to an subject heading click on the red button in front of the heading.
- Browsing LCSH (Universitätsbibliothek Braunschweig) Search by keyword or phrase; or browse by subject heading.
Enter a possible subject using the library catalog Subject search option. On the resulting screen you will see a list of subjects that come closest to what you entered. You may also see additional notes and referrals to other subjects as described below. See Drama as an example.
3. Library Catalog Keyword Search
- See references to official subject headings
- See Also references to other closely related subjects
- See Also Under references to other groups of related subjects
- Narrower Terms for more specific subjects under which to search
- Notes containing additional search suggestions and heading definitions
Enter keywords for your subject using either the Basic or Advanced search option. Review the search results and look at the full display of items that come closest to what you are looking for. The Subjects: field under each item lists the subject headings under which the item is cataloged. Search these directly by clicking on the link or redo your search incorporating them into your search strategy.
Tips for Selecting Subject Headings
- Be Specific --typically there is a hierarchy of broad and narrow subject headings associated with a subject in which you might be interested. Works are generally indexed under the most specific subjects that can be assigned. Selecting too broad of a subject may cause you to miss relevant works. See women as an example of how precise subject headings can be. Following are some additional examples:
- Broad
- water temperature
- rocks, igneous
- algae
- ecology
- water temperature
- Specific
- deep sea temperature
- ophiolites
- red algae
- freshwater ecology
- deep sea temperature
- Use subdivisions as appropriate to focus your search--four categories of subdivisons can be used under most subjects. These subdivisions are described in the introduction to Library of Congress Subject Headings, starting on page xi.
- Topical--there are 28 basic subdivision patterns, e.g., women--employment. See the Table of Pattern Headings for the subjects that list the subdivisions that can be assigned to that subject pattern, e.g., for animals, you need to look under fishes or cattle to see the valid subheadings for all animal related subjects.
- Form--indicates the format in which material is organized, e.g., soils analysis--handbooks, manuals, etc. See Form Subdivisions (Princeton University) for an extensive list.
- Chronological--used to limit to a defined time period, e.g., art--chinese--to 221 B.C.
- Geographic--used to indicate a geographic emphasis, e.g., geology--california--humboldt county.
- Consult the Scientific Subject Headings research guide for tips in finding and selecting subject headings in the biological and earth sciences.

The Lone Star state is still the biggest oil-producing state in the country. At $2.2 million barrels a day in January the state is outpacing North Dakota, which comes in at number two with 738,000 barrels a day. That means Texas produces three times as much oil compared with its closest competitor. But experts say both states are helping to offset declining production in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. The Energy Information Agency says there's plenty of oil sitting around. Oil stockpiles are at a 22-year high, the most since 1990.
This week the state of Texas generated $9.2 million for Texas schools. This was after oil and gas companies bid to drill on land owned by the state, which includes land submerged in the Gulf of Mexico.
Spring storms in Texas are unpredictable, as evidence by this week's hail storms in parts of the state. Allstate Insurance says the number of Texas hail and wind-related homeowner's insurance claims rose 5 percemt last year. Lightning-related claims increased 52 percent.
We're on the brink of wedding season. According to Bloomberg rankings, using data from bridal site "The Knot", the cost to get married is going up. The price of a wedding dress last year averaged more than $1,200. The overall wedding price? Nearly $28,500!

US 53 Corridor Preservation Study
Solon Springs Area - Need/purpose
Why is this project needed?
- To develop a long-term vision for the corridor that would update its designation as a statutorily (Wis. Stats. 84.295) declared freeway/expressway.
- To officially map and thus preserve the future right of way footprint necessary to construct the improvements that would be needed.
- It is critical to preserve the necessary right of way until such time that construction funds are ultimately obtained.
Project benefits/anticipated outcomes
US 53 is a backbone route in WisDOT's Corridors 2020 Plan, and this segment of the corridor is part of the National Highway System (NHS).
The plan places a high priority in protecting highway investments that connect major economic/population centers and carry long-distance, statewide traffic.
Between 1969 and 2006, US 53 has experienced several capacity expansion and safety enhancements between La Crosse and Superior. These improvements represented significant investments by WisDOT.
The US 53 corridor has been recognized as an important route with the desire for conversion to a freeway/expressway initiated as early as the late 1960's.

Highly-touted tailback Isaiah Crowell left fans feeling frustrated after his freshman season with the Georgia Bulldogs. Dawg Sports wonders whether college football fans should be more appreciative of the prize recruit's rookie campaign.
Last February, Mark Richt signed the Georgia Bulldogs' "Dream Team" 2011 recruiting class. Now, as those freshmen prepare for their first college football season, the coaching staff is sounding just the right note in speaking of the stellar rookies.
The Georgia Bulldogs' leading returning rusher, Caleb King, reportedly will be academically ineligible for the 2011 college football season. Dawg Sports assesses the gloom over Bulldog Nation in the midst of a summer storm, literally and figuratively.
What does Mark Richt need to do to make the Georgia Bulldogs' 2011 college football season a success? Dawg Sports believes a return to the boldness of previous years would serve the program well.

When we first started out with our children's website www.candostreet.com, we used AdWords as a vehicle for creating awareness and followers.
At first the .15 per click seemed reasonable, then the price per click started rising to .25, .40, .65, .85, 1.25 and then to 1.95. This price rise did not occur over a long time but within a month or 6 weeks.
The first reality of paying $1.95 per click was that if we wanted a thousand followers it could cost us $1,950.
The second reality of paying $1.95 per click was that there was no guarantee that each person that clicked through was really interested in the site or was just browsing and if they were interested, would stay with us on a steady basis.
The third reality was seeing that there was no limit or capping as to how high cost per click would go.
The fourth reality was that this price was for just one phrase or word grouping. What would be the cost for 3, 4 or 5 phrases?
As with most start-ups, we had a finite amount of money. In this case it was my own money and not that of investors – not that it should make a difference.
When we analyzed our cash flow for advertising, the questions were "Was this the best way to commit $20,000? Also, did we want to commit $20,000 for advertising or were there better uses for this money"?
We then started to research and analyze what we believed were the reasons for the price jumps and also wanted to find out whether were there better ways to structure advertising pricing and deliveries.
One of the first things that we concluded was that since a "click-is-a-click", there should be no difference in price since we are paying by the "click" not the amount of audience. We are looking for one client at a time. If the number of viewers or followers was influencing the price-per-click, then there has to be an additional charge or value added for impressions/views or exposure to a greater population group.
AdWords text advertisements are short, consisting of 25 characters and two additional text lines. There are neither pictures nor sounds. Since AdWords can be selective as to distribution on a local, national, and international distribution levels, with pay-per-click (PPC) and cost-per-thousand (CPM) options, we did not see McDonalds and other major companies using the Right Column advertising.
While advertisers can select the words that should trigger their ads and the maximum amount that they will pay per click, the reality is that the internet is a small screen TV with unlimited channels (websites) capabilities. Why spend money on non-event AdWords to trigger an advertisement when companies sponsor NASCAR, sports teams, various TV programs, activities and events? They are sponsoring an EVENT where an interested audience can see and relate to their product. This is Branding and Brand Awareness. Branding is a combination of audio, visual and ASSOCIATION.
We were fortunate to have a couple of advertising professionals review the AWSTATS for our sites, they commented that they were impressed not only with the number of visitors to the relatively young sites but more impressed with the depth of interest by our visitors as shown in the number of impressions (pages) per visitor.
Summing up, if you advertised on a number of niche websites which charge $3 per thousand impressions with 4.0 impressions (with click through to your site) per visit and we used the $1950 above as an advertising budget, you would get 580,000 impressions while reaching 145,000 passionate visitors. Advertise on websites whose statistics exclude spiders, robots and such from the actual visitor count.

Your 2009 To-Do List
Originally published: 03.01.09 by Guy Kawasaki
Ten small tasks that can make a big difference in the perception of your company and, ultimately, your bottom line.
If you're looking for small tasks that can make a big difference in the perception of your company and ultimately, your bottom line, tear out this list of ten tiny things that every small business owner should do in 2009.
1. Act like a prospective customer and call your company to see how the phone system and receptionist treat you.
2. See if your Web site has a "Contact Us" section. If it doesn't, add one. Ensure that it has a street address.
3. Send your company an e-mail asking for customer support and see if someone responds to it.
4. Answer customer support calls or e-mails (not the one you sent in) for a day.
5. Go out on a sales call with your sales people and a service call with your service people.
6. Read the documentation or manual that your company provides. Extra credit: See if you can do this without reading glasses.
7. Pretend that you lost the documentation or manual that came with your product or service and try to find it on your Web site.
8. Register your product or service, including finding and reading the serial number of your product. Extra credit: See if you can read your serial number without reading glasses. Extra extra credit: If you use a Captcha system for registration, see how many times it takes to get the word right.
9. Add a signature to your e-mail. A "signature" is a block of text at the end of your e-mails that contain all your contact information. It saves your recipients the hassle of asking for your address and phone number or searching for them on your Web site.
10. Join Twitter and then search for your company name, your product, your competition's name or product name, or market sector terms from your business. Extra credit: Use Twitter as a tool.

Neither the trouncing of the Democratic Party in the midterm elections nor the surprising legislative accomplishments of the "lame duck" Congress has had a measurable effect on opinions of Barack Obama. The president's approval ratings have been rock steady since late August and his personal image has changed very little since the middle of last year.
Currently, 46% say they approve of how Obama is handling his job while 44% disapprove. The public is similarly divided on other general measures of his job performance. One-in-four (25%) think that in the long run, Obama will be a successful president, while about the same number (26%) believes that he will be unsuccessful. And 47% think that Obama's accomplishments will be good for the country in the long run, compared with 42% who do not.
At a comparable point in his presidency, the public took a less negative view of Ronald Reagan's accomplishments; in January 1983, 50% said the things he had done would be good for the country compared with 31% who said they would be bad.

Applied ethics in recent decades has acquired central importance in American universities. From Wall Street to Main Street, questions of ethical business practices arise in accounting, advertising, hiring, firing, and conflicts of interest. In medicine, there appears to be no end to the need for ethical reflection on the rapidly changing landscape of life, death, and everything in between. Other areas to applied ethics include the practice of law, nursing, dentistry, journalism, and psychological counseling.
As an IPFW Center of Excellence in research, teaching, and service, the Center for Applied Ethics seeks to be the premier applied ethics center in the state of Indiana. Its teaching mission is to provide administrative support for several certificate programs in applied ethics, including a Certificate in Human Rights and a Certificate in Medical Ethics. Its research mission includes organizing conferences on areas within applied ethics, to publish papers, write books, and edit special issues of journals addressing issues of applied ethics. Its service mission is to invite speakers of local import and national recognition to offer public lectures and populate panels on issues of academic and public interest.

What if?
by Chris Feeney
What if I was a quality finish carpenter? I likely wouldn't be writing this editorial, instead finding myself in a workshop somewhere building a masterpiece. Unfortunately (many readers will agree with that word usage) I'm here today because I am the world's worst wood worker.
I'm so bad (insert the crowd asking how bad are you...) that they try to cover my ears during announcements about work nights at the fire station or the church. I'm so bad, my family held an intervention and confiscated all my power tools. It's so bad, they put my tape measure and screwdriver in one of those fireproof, mini gun safes with a 10 digit security code and a thumb print recognition key that I can only access once a month. When I am allowed to help build, I'm sure productivity numbers dwindle, as my co-workers generally spend as much time fixing my mistakes, not to mention balled over in laughter at my comical efforts to be a builder.
After a recent episode, I may not even warrant a post on the laborer workforce. A huge load of drywall arrived and volunteers were needed to help unload at the church. After years of sitting at a desk getting into shape, I lasted about two trips from the truck to the other end of the church with the two packs of 4x12 5/8 inch thick sheet rock for the ceiling.
Not smart enough to know I was beat, I got in line for a third trip. It gets fuzzy after that. I made one or two more efforts before I blacked out from the combination of lack of oxygen and searing pain in all my body parts.
Okay, that may be a bit overdramatic, but I was so whipped by the work, that I risked the ridicule of my coworkers, and bowed out before the job was done. My truck tried to stir itself to the emergency room, but I made it home instead, and made it to the couch, where I think I finally caught my breath a half hour or so after the last load of drywall was toted.
Talk about humbling - not to mention painful. So I can't build, and now I can't even help transport the materials to the job site.
Needless to say, the bulk of the time I get involved in a project, my skill set relegates me to the demolition squad.
It makes sense. Tearing something down is much easier. All you have to do is find a little crack or a fault, insert your pry bar and throw all your weight on it until something breaks lose. Don't get me wrong, there definitely are plenty of skilled demolition workers that are experts on imploding, exploding and all sorts of other methods of crushing the obstacle. Years of honing their skills have produced masters of the trade who can press one button and forever alter your landscape.
Most of my de-construction projects have been projects involving removal of a layer of shingles, carpet, flooring or rooms to allow the installation of new and improved facilities. When you look at it as clearing the way for progress, it's not so bad. Or perhaps, a structure has become unsafe and must be brought down for security reasons.
Of course there are lots of motives for demolition. Perhaps you covet pieces of the construction material to be removed and used in building your own project.
Maybe you want a better view of the skyline, so you tear down that neighboring building. Now passersby have an unobstructed view of the property to better admire your own masterpiece without any distractions.
Perhaps the demolition is a mode of eliminating the competition. If you put up that new fancy birdhouse, yet your feathered friends still prefer to gather on that old, dilapidated roost, it might drive you to remove the rival.
I think for some folks, they simply like to see that pile of rubble and know they were the ones who wielded the power that brought the house down.
Regardless, after a hard day's work there is a sense of accomplishment. Still I think I'd much rather be part of building something that others can appreciate, instead of tearing something down. Guess that's why I still try to figure out that security code on the tool safe and continue to take my stand-up comic act to the worksites. I think I'd much rather be a failed builder than a master demolitionist.

The plight of Daisy the Jack Russell terrier at the hands of the District Attorney Dick Gammick should come as no surprise. The history of the DA concerning domestic animals is less than stellar as demonstrated by his inaction in 2002 with respect to WC3, animal services consolidation. It was a well-known fact that the Reno animal pound was operating in violation of Nevada Revised Statute. WC3 contained the following text: "The construction … will allow the County to address numerous problems with the existing shelter, including: (1) crowded and unsanitary conditions which have led to persistent animal illness, cross contamination and rapid spread of disease among animals; (2) … maggots; (3) lack of air conditioning …" and two other cited violations of NRS and code.
The preceding quote from the ballot question admitted the facilities were substandard and resulted in numerous animals being put down. Had the shelter been run by a private party, the DA would have done his duty and prosecuted the operator. The DA showed a lack of empathy for impounded animals by not prosecuting the city of Reno for admitted violations of NRS 574.

Interim results F10: Strong underlying operational performance
19 November 2009
SABMiller plc, one of the world's leading brewers with operations and distribution agreements across six continents, today reports its interim (unaudited) results for the six months to 30 September 2009.
Operational Highlights
- Lager volumes decrease 1% on an organic basis with growth in Africa and Asia offset by weaker volumes in other markets
- Reported group revenue down 6% and reported EBITA down 2% impacted by weakness of our major operating currencies against the US dollar compared with the same period last year
- Firm pricing and cost efficiency drives organic, constant currency group revenue growth of 3%, EBITA growth of 11% and margin growth of 110 bps
- EBITA on an organic, constant currency basis increases across all regions despite mixed volume performance:
- Pricing benefits and cost efficiencies in Latin America drive excellent EBITA(1) growth of 33%
- Solid pricing in Europe supports a 5% increase in EBITA(1) despite volume decline
- North America EBITA(1) grows 7% as cost synergies are realised
- Africa EBITA(1) up 15%, driven by volume growth and pricing
- Asia EBITA(1) up 29% as CR Snow volumes in China grow at more than double the market rate
- South Africa Beverages EBITA(1) up 4% despite weaker consumer spending and increased marketing spend
- Free cash flow(2) improves by US$1,124 million compared with the prior year period
(1) EBITA growth is shown on an organic, constant currency basis.
(2) As defined in the Financial Definitions section. See also note 9b.
Chief Executive's review
Graham Mackay, Chief Executive of SABMiller, said:
"In some of the toughest economic conditions seen for decades, we have continued to take share in a number of markets. The weakness of our major operating currencies against the US dollar has affected reported results, but we have continued to generate a strong underlying performance. The actions we have taken to position our business globally, to invest in brands and to develop our operational capabilities will continue to underpin our long term growth."

Business review
Our underlying performance has been strong although difficult trading conditions persisted across most markets. Lager volumes were down 1% on an organic basis, but our market execution and the strength of our brands enabled us to continue to gain share across many of our key markets. Group revenue increased by 3% organically in constant currency, supported by price increases taken predominantly in the second half of the prior year.
Despite the slight decline in volumes, EBITA performance was strong, growing 11% on an organic, constant currency basis with the group's EBITA margin improving 110 basis points (bps) to 16.8%. The benefits of falling commodity prices are not yet fully reflected in our costs, due to the long term nature of our raw material supply contracts and the relative strength of the US dollar in which many of these contracts are priced. Greater efficiencies in our marketing spend, combined with cost reductions and restructuring in certain markets, continued to benefit our cost base. On a reported basis, EBITA of US$2,187 million declined 2% reflecting significantly weaker operating currencies against the US dollar compared to the same period in the prior year.
Although reported EBITA was lower, adjusted earnings grew 10% due to lower finance charges and reduced profit attributable to minority interests following the purchase of the 28.1% minority interest in our Polish subsidiary Kompania Piwowarska in May 2009 in exchange for the issue of 60 million ordinary shares. The group's effective tax rate for the period was 29.4%, compared with 31.0% in the same period in the prior year.
Free cash flow of US$998 million showed an improvement of US$1,124 million compared to the same period last year. Capital expenditure was US$517 million lower than in the prior year period following the completion of several major investments. Improved working capital management delivered cash inflow of US$300 million, US$638 million better than in the prior year period. Normalised EBITDA margin, including both dividends and revenue from MillerCoors, improved 30 bps during the period.
The group's gearing ratio at 30 September reduced to 47.0% from 54.0% (restated) at the previous year end. An interim dividend of 17 US cents per share, up 1 US cent from the prior year, will be paid to shareholders on 11 December 2009.
- In Latin America, despite local currency devaluation, EBITA grew 19% (33% on an organic, constant currency basis) reflecting strong pricing, principally in the second half of the prior year, and cost reduction. Lager volumes fell 1% as economic pressures, combined with political and social unrest in some countries, impacted beer markets across the region. We continued to focus on expanding the appeal, availability and affordability of the beer category. In Colombia, lager volumes were 2% below the prior year period which benefited from increased sales in September 2008 ahead of a 1 October price increase. Our share of the alcohol market continued to increase aided by strong performance of our premium brands. Against prior year comparative growth of 10%, Peru's lager volumes declined 2%, but market share increased in a market that declined 7%.
- In Europe, lager volumes declined 6% on an organic basis, with depressed consumer spending leading to a contraction in beer consumption across the region. With key exchange rates much weaker than last year, EBITA declined 19% but grew 5% on an organic, constant currency basis. Strong pricing drove organic, constant currency revenue per hectolitre growth of 6% and further cost efficiencies more than offset higher depreciation and a 2% increase in variable production costs. We gained market share in Poland, Romania and the UK, with strong momentum behind key brands. In the Czech Republic volume share declined marginally, consistent with our value oriented strategy, and in Russia both volumes and market share fell, reflecting down-trading in the market and our focus on the premium segment.
- North America delivered reported EBITA growth of 7% despite lager volumes 5% below those reported last year. On a pro forma(1) basis, MillerCoors US domestic volume sales to retailers (STRs) were down 1% for the half year driven by a slight decline in premium light volumes and continued softness in above premium and premium brands. Domestic sales to wholesalers (STWs) were down 1% on a pro forma basis. Strong revenue and cost management, and continued synergy delivery drove a 22% increase in MillerCoors EBITA on a pro forma basis.
- Africa lager volumes grew 3% on an organic basis with Uganda, Zambia and Mozambique all reporting good growth. However, soft economic conditions contributed to reduced volumes in Tanzania, and Botswana continued to be impacted by the 30% social levy on alcoholic beverages imposed in November 2008. Soft drink volumes grew 5% on an organic basis reflecting robust performance across the region. EBITA grew 3%, held back by local currency weakness, but rose 15% on an organic, constant currency basis assisted by firm pricing. We continue to implement our full beverage portfolio strategy, acquiring a water business in Ethiopia and a non-alcoholic beverage business in Zambia. New local premium lager beers were introduced in five markets. Capacity expansion projects in Uganda and Ghana have recently been completed, as has a new brewery in Southern Sudan. New plants in Tanzania, Mozambique and Angola will be commissioned shortly.
- Asia lager volumes grew 9% on an organic basis and organic, constant currency EBITA grew 29%, while reported EBITA was up 24%. This reflected a strong performance from CR Snow, our associate in China, which increased lager volumes by 15% in a market which grew by 6%. Significant share gains were achieved in the key provinces of Anhui and Zhejiang, driven by the success of the Snow brand. In Australia, our joint venture enjoyed strong growth in a flat market, driven by Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Miller Genuine Draft and Bluetongue. India experienced a difficult first half, with volumes declining 21%, largely as a result of regulatory issues in the key states of Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
- Lager volumes in South Africa declined by 3%, impacted by generally weak consumer spending. As expected, our year on year market share fell. EBITA was flat due to adverse exchange rates; however on a constant currency basis grew 4%. Group revenue increased by 6% on a constant currency basis, benefiting from the price increases implemented in the prior year, more than offsetting higher input costs. Fixed cost savings helped fund a substantial increase in sales and marketing investment in the beer business, with the core of the lager brand portfolio strengthened by new advertising campaigns and sponsorship of the Confederations Football Cup and the Lions rugby tour. Soft drinks volumes were down 2%, in line with the market. On 1 July, we announced preliminary details of a proposed broad-based black economic empowerment transaction in South Africa. This will benefit employees, soft drink and liquor retailers and the wider South African community by enabling them to participate in the equity of The South African Breweries Limited.
- The group has begun a major business capability programme that will simplify processes, reduce costs and allow local management teams to enhance focus on their markets. Finance, human resources and procurement activities will be streamlined by deploying global information systems, establishing a global procurement operation and selectively outsourcing certain activities. Sales, distribution and supply chain management processes will also be enhanced and moved onto common, regional systems platforms. The programme is expected to take four years to complete with spend weighted to the start of the programme. Exceptional costs of approximately US$370 million will be recognised in the current year's income statement (US$187 million in the first half) with costs lowering progressively by approximately 40% year on year in each of the financial years 2011 to 2013. In addition to non-financial benefits, we expect cost and efficiency savings rising to approximately US$300 million per annum by the 2014 financial year and working capital inflows of approximately US$350 million which will largely be realised in the financial years 2010 to 2012.
(1) MillerCoors pro forma figures are based on results for Miller's and Coors' US and Puerto Rico operations reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and US GAAP respectively for the six months ended 30 September 2008. Adjustments have been made to reflect both companies' comparative data on a similar basis including amortisation of definite-life intangible assets, depreciation reflecting revisions to property, plant and equipment values and the exclusion of exceptional items.
Overall, we expect the current trading conditions to continue in the second half, as unemployment, retail spending and other consumer indicators lag the reported stabilisation of GDP in many of our markets.
Our operational performance continues to be driven by the unique strength of our local brand portfolios which have enabled market share gains in spite of the significant price increases taken in the prior year. Price rises will moderate in the coming months compared with last year. The margin trend delivered in the first half will be affected over the remainder of the year as the price increases and cost efficiencies achieved in the prior year are cycled. Input costs continue to be affected by existing contractual obligations but will begin to ease towards the end of this year.
We expect second half reported results to benefit from favourable currency movements, provided our major operating currencies remain at or near current exchange rates to the US dollar. The group's financial position remains strong and we are well positioned to take advantage of future improvements in the market environment.

Question 2: I did said process and anySIM 1.2.1u "successfully" unlocked my phone, yet I still get the incorrect SIM message along with no service. I was told that I need to patch the lockdownd file. Isn't the lockdownd process only for people who have the new bootloader that comes with new 1.1.2 OTB phones?

(site last updated August 2, 2010)
August 2010: Arcade Distro is officially done for now. I couldn't justify spending so many hours on the computer filling orders, responding to questions, and updating the website with just 2-3 orders coming in every month. Thank you for your support over the years. Stay in touch and I will let you know about what I'm working on next. -Lauren (email@example.com)
July 2009: Haven't had much time to update the distro lately, but now I'm back and ready to kick it into high gear. The Houston zine fest was about a month ago. I had plenty of fun and got the chance to catch up with local zinesters. I also sold a lot of zines- it was great to see some of the zines that have been in the distro for a long time finally find a home. Since the zine fest, I've been working on building my stock back up by taking on some new titles. New this month are the Griot #6/ Pudd'nhead #5 split, the Hopeless City compilation, Map of Fog #1, and the Juniper #11. Like I said, I'm trying to find some great new zines to add to the catalog, so if you've made a zine that might fit in here, send it my way. -Lauren (email@example.com)
February 2009: Marked a bunch of zines "free," in hopes of sending them off to make room for some upcoming new stock, so take advantage of the chance to get a bundle of rad zines for just the price of postage. -Lauren (email@example.com)
November 2008: Finally over the hangover that was with me for days after going to the FEST in Florida on Halloween weekend. I got rid of all the Paypal buttons on the site, and changed the ordering system so that now you can just email me the list of what you want and I will email you back to tell you how much it will cost. Much easier and more economical this way, I assure you. I finally finished the second issue of my zine Monsters In Our Heavens, which has an "Art Class" theme. I also added a "Paper Crafts" section to the site, which will be full of cool projects very soon I am sure. And last but not least, I have copies of the new Razorcake, which is still the best punk zine in the world. -Lauren (email@example.com
September 2008: The Arcade Distro website gets a back- to- school makeover in Fall colors! Some people say that we don't have a real Fall here in Texas, but it's my favorite season all the same. I had a fire lit under me last month, so there are a lot of new things to check out on the website. I divided up the "About" section into seperate pages for History, Ordering & Wholesale, and Submissions, so hopefully, all the information you need is easier to find. I also created an Essays & Reviews page so you can check out some pieces I've written that have already been published elsewhere. New zine this month is Giant Steps #3, and Resist #46 is back in stock. -Lauren (firstname.lastname@example.com)
July 2008: Wow, it's been a beautiful, busy, summer so far, folks. I am currently having fun decorating people's packages with rubber stamps, so look out for some boats and owls in your mailbox if you order while I'm in this phase. New zines in stock here are: The Juniper #10, and Give Me Back #1. Plus, Arcade has a couple of copies of an old favorite called World Salad: Favoritos by Chad Hopper. If you happen to make an awesome zine or craft project, send it in! I'm looking to pick up some new stock now. -Lauren (firstname.lastname@example.com)
May 2008: Arcade Distro stickers with this ultra cute dinosaur drawing on them came in the mail this week, so I'll be enclosing one (maybe a few if you ask nicely) with each order. New zines in stock are: Eaves of Ass #6 and Free, Fer, Frim. Back in Stock: Night Terrors. Also, I added a wholesale page in case you're interested in ordering some of the zines that Arcade Distro carries in multiples of five. -Lauren (email@example.com)
April 2008: New banner design thanks to Julia Fitzgerald! Back in stock: Avow #20, Give Me Back #2, Brainscan #22, and more. New stock: Clip Tart #2, Avow #22, and Give Me Back #3, and more. Tabling at West Fest in Houston on April 12th. If you want Arcade Distro monthly updates emailed to you, just type in your email address in the mailing list form at the bottom of this page. Keep sending in zines for consideration and stickers + fliers for your zine/ band/ distro if you want me to mail them out with orders. -Lauren (email@example.com)
February 2008: I finally got the ads removed and paypal online ordering set up! Please be sure to look at the "ordering info" page before you click "proceed to checkout" if you use paypal. Also, a lot of new zines came in this month, along with some rad patches, postcards, and buttons. Check out the rest of Arcade Distro's February updates on the myspace blog or click on the zine pages to see for yourself. -Lauren (email@example.com)
December 2007: This new website marks a fresh start for the Arcade Distro, which has seen several incarnations since it was started more than five years ago. Since it was passed down to me this summer, Arcade Distro has been tabled at local events and has a display with zines for sale at Sedition Books. The purpose of this website is to make the zines Arcade Distro carries accesible to people outside the Houston area. Thanks for visiting and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. -Lauren (firstname.lastname@example.com)
