In a game that was defined early by aggressiveness, and maybe even a little sloppiness, poise became vital for the Ottawa Hills girls basketball team.
Instead of panicking, the Green Bears simply gathered themselves together and focused on the task at hand — wiping out a second-half deficit.
Ottawa Hills kept its calm and used the clock to its advantage in the final minutes of a 50-42 win over Cardinal Stritch.
"That's a huge thing," Green Bears guard Allison Dewire said. "There's so much time on that scoreboard. You don't think about it, but you can get to the end of a play in two seconds. So you've just got to keep calm, you've got to use up the time, because that's precious.
"We had to keep our poise."
In a Toledo Area Athletic Conference game Thursday at Ottawa Hills, the Green Bears went 8 for 29 from the floor in the first half and trailed by nine points early in the second half. The Green Bears cut the Cardinals' lead to 36-32 at the end of the third quarter and tied the game twice within the first four minutes of the fourth quarter.
"Once we started moving the ball around and passing it more, things started clicking," said Dewire, who scored eight of her team-high 13 points in the third quarter. "When we're all on the same page, we work very well."
Then, after tying the game at 40 on Kelsi Berry's basket with 4:15 left in regulation, the Green Bears closed out the game on a 10-2 run by slowing down the pace of their offense and coming through at the free-throw line. In that stretch, the Green Bears went 4-for-6 on free throws — after going 4 for 11 in the first three quarters.
"In the second half, and in the fourth quarter, that was when we started passing to each other and talking," Dewire said. "We came out and we were a second-half team this time, but hopefully we'll come together and be a first-half team, and finish it at the end."
Ottawa Hills' bench also provided a suitable reinforcement for its starters in the second half. The Green Bears had eight players come off the bench, including Abigail Dewire, who scored seven points in the fourth quarter.
"We have 14 people on our team, and so many people on the bench, we still don't even have a starting five yet," Allison Dewire said. "We're still trying to work out people's strengths, like who works well together. But we're learning."
Cardinal Stritch took a 9-6 lead over Ottawa Hills after the first quarter, holding the Green Bears to 3-of-15 shooting in the first, then took a 26-20 lead at the half, breaking a 20-20 tie with 1:33 left in the second quarter.
Abby Mass led the Cardinals with 16 points, while Cecelia Gozdowski added 12.
"They played harder than we did," Cardinals coach Terry Murnen said. "In the fourth quarter, we didn't do the things that got us the lead.
"We gave one away."

Digestive Disorders
Chronic Constipation
I am a female, age 24, facing chronic constipation for ages. Since my childhood I have this problem. I eat healthy. My diet includes a good amount of fruits and vegetables, plus I drink loads of water as well. Now the constipation has accompanied with piles which is very painful. I have taken medications but to no avail. Kindly tell me is it a sign of some serious disease inside? What can be the possible reason for my case as I am having a healthy routine with excercise, etc.?
There are some conditions that can cause constipation that require an evaluation to diagnose e.g. "Hirsch sprung's Syndrome", primary colonic dysmotility. Fortunately, most constipation can be found related to events in earlier life. In any case, at age 24 there is an excellent chance for help. If not already done, a full evaluation of motility, etc., needs to be done and then a program worked out to help you.

Tyson: 'I'm totally broke'
The sporting icon's legacy has been marred by a series of alcohol and drug-related arrests throughout the years and his wild lifestyle away from the ring led to him filing for bankruptcy in 2003.
He was inspired to turn his life around after landing a role playing himself in the hit 2009 comedy The Hangover, but he insists he is still struggling to make ends meet, despite recently scoring his own reality TV show about his love of bird racing.
However, Tyson insists he is happy with his new frugal way of living and is simply thankful to have been given a second chance at life with his third wife Lakiha Spicer.
Appearing on U.S. talk show The View on Friday (07May10), he says, "I'm totally destitute and broke. But I have an awesome life, I have an awesome wife who cares about me."
Asked if he has enough money in the bank to tie him over between jobs, Tyson replies, "No, I'm totally broke. I had a lot of fun. It (going broke) just happened. I'm very grateful. I don't deserve to have the wife that I have; I don't deserve the kids that I have, but I do, and I'm very grateful."
Tyson is dad to five children from various relationships, including his 16-month-old daughter, Milan, with Spicer.
His reality show Take on Tyson will air on the Animal Planet channel in early 2011.

Ever feel like you could easily burst into a tantrum along with your limit-testing toddler? Hopefully you avoid these occasional erratic urges, as researchers at Oregon State University have found a link between toddlers temper tantrums and easily angered parents, reports Medical News Today.
Plus: Easy Toddler Fun
The study examined 361 families in 10 different states, all which were linked to adoption. They found that adoptive parents who frequently over-reacted when their nine to 27-month old children pushed limits had a negative impact on the child's behavior. These toddlers were more at risk for acting out themselves, and having more temper tantrums than average for their age.
The tendency for toddlers to have temper tantrums isn't all down to the parents' behavior. The study also proved that genetics does play a role; the toddlers in the study who were raised in a low-stress environment but who had a high risk of negative emotions from their birth mothers had more temper tantrums than normal.
Plus: Woman Sues Over In-Flight Tantrum
Not only does overreacting impact the emotional development your toddler; it also follows them into their school years. The study's head author Shannon Lipscomb said, "Research consistently shows that children with elevated levels of negative emotionality during these early years have more difficulties with emotion regulation and tend to exhibit more problem behavior when they are of school age," said Lipscomb.

NEW YORK (AP) — Five minutes before the show was supposed to start, throngs of people were still waiting to pass through intense security outside Madison Square Garden. So, when Sting and Paul Simon took the stage a few minutes later, they played to scattered empty seats. But by the end of the second song, the arena was filled to capacity as the two touring musical icons brought the Garden to life.
From the first notes, you could feel the mutual admiration they had for each other. They shared vocals on Sting's "Brand New Day," followed by Simon's "The Boy in the Bubble." After covering Sting's "Fields of Gold," the Queens-born Simon addressed the hometown crowd to loud applause. He even acknowledged driving over the "Ed Koch Bridge," an insider nod to Simon and Garfunkel's "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" and what the span is better known by in New York.
The pair rotated on and off stage for the next 2 1/2 hours. After the 72-year-old Simon left the stage for a little while, Sting dug into his solo and Police repertoire, covering songs like "Driven to Tears" and "Walking on the Moon." Before launching into "Englishman in New York," he told the crowd that there's nowhere in the world like the Garden, to thunderous cheers.
Simon then came on for his solo turn, playing hits like "Still Crazy After All These Years" and "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard," which brought everyone to their feet. He was joined again by Sting on guitar, as Simon covered his touching ballad, "Fragile." At the end, Simon expressed his love for the song, and told Sting: "I wish I wrote it."
The 62-year-old Sting quickly replied: "What? You haven't written enough?" before making Simon leave the stage.
Then he told the audience how much he's learned from Simon, calling him a songwriter "without peer," because of his knack for writing songs that serve as markers to the important moments in life. Sting recalled coming to the United States with his band, The Police, before making it big, and he introduced the song that reminded him of that time, Simon and Garfunkel's "America."
Right before the song ended, a stage hand brought him a bass guitar, and without missing a beat, Sting launched into The Police hit "Message in a Bottle," which proved to be one of the evening's most energetic numbers, bringing the crowd to its feet to sing along.
For most of the show, Sting played rocker to Simon's folksy troubadour. Still, Simon managed to energize the audience with lively versions of "You Can Call Me Al" and "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes," as well as a reggae-infused "Mother and Child Reunion." While eclectic in their styles, they complemented each other well throughout the 2-hour-and-40-minute show. Both artists share a passion for world music and pushing the boundaries of popular music, so their collaboration seemed a natural fit.
By the end of the night, the pair covered a poignant mix of their own songs, each other's, and lots of duets. During the encore, Sting performed "Bridge Over Troubled Water," alternating verses with Simon. They then did The Police's "Every Breath You Take" and Simon's "Late in the Evening." After their 14-piece band left the stage, they concluded the show with the Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved."
Noticeably absent from the show was material from Sting's recently released album, "The Last Ship." That album inspired the upcoming Broadway musical of the same name. After an out-of-town run in Chicago this summer, the show opens on Broadway in the fall.
The pair will play the Garden again on Thursday night. The short tour began in Houston in early February, and wraps up in Orlando later this month.

Product Description
The Union Butterfield 1541(NPT) uncoated, high-speed steel pipe tap has straight flutes with medium hook and a round shank with a square end, and is used to create NPT (National Pipe Taper) right-hand threads in a range of materials, with strength in carbon steel and alloy steel. NPT thread is an ANSI-standard thread configuration designed to be used with a sealant to create a leak-free tapered pipe joint. The straight flutes are suitable for threading through holes (extending through the workpiece) and blind or bottoming holes (with only one opening). Designed for average conditions, this tap has a medium hook, or rake angle, that is suitable for general-purpose pipe tapping.
Right-hand threads are designed to tighten when a head or nut is rotated clockwise (the most common threading direction). High-speed steel (HSS) is a common general-purpose steel for cutting tools and is compatible with a variety of materials. With no coating or surface treatment, this uncoated tool can be used on a broad range of materials and provides an economical alternative to coated tools. The round shank with square end helps to minimize rotation in the tool holder. This tool can be used in machines, such as drill presses or lathes, or with hand tools such as tap wrenches.
In the Union Butterfield 1541(NPT) series, taps with nominal diameters of 1/16" to 1/2" have four flutes, taps with nominal diameters of 3/4" to 1 1/4" have five flutes, and taps with nominal diameters of 1 1/2" and 2" have seven flutes. In this series all taps have semi-bottoming chamfers. This tap conforms to ANSI standards and is suitable for normal pipe thread tolerance.
Taps produce internal threads in previously formed holes and can be used in machines (such as drill presses) or with hand tools. Common types of taps include hand taps, spiral point taps, spiral flute taps, thread forming taps, and pipe taps. Hand taps (straight-flute taps) collect chips in the straight flutes of the tool; spiral point taps push chips through holes ahead of the tool; and spiral flute taps pull chips back from the tip of the tool, up and out the hole. Thread forming taps, also known as cold forming taps, press rather than cut to create threads in a drilled hole, and no chips are created. Pipe taps create threads in pipes and pipe fittings. Each thread type designates a thread profile and each type is identified with an abbreviation. In the U.S. and Canada, the Unified Thread Standard is the dominant thread type, including UNC (Unified Coarse), UNF (Unified Fine), and NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads, among others.
Dormer Pramet manufactures cutting tools under the following brands: Precision Twist Drill, Dormer, Union Butterfield and Pramet. The company has locations around the world, and provides tools adhering to ANSI, NAS, and DIN standards.

Tim Tebow
Timothy Richard "Tim" Tebow (born August 14, 1987) is an American football player who initially gained fame while playing for the University of Florida Gators. He was the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy and led the Gators to two BCS Championships during his four years playing for UF in Gainesville, which is extremely rare. Earlier this year Tebow was voted by players to be one of the top football players, and more recently he was voted by a small fraction of the NFL to be the most overrated in the league, with the starting quarterback for the Jets ranking as the second most overrated.[1][2][3] Tebow responded by laughing it off, observing the inconsistency in the polls.
He was selected by the Denver Broncos as the 25th pick of the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. In 2011, with the team in last place, the Broncos decided to start Tebow as quarterback. A solidly built quaterback, Tim is 6'3" and weighs about 240 pounds.[4] Tebow had an impressive seven-game winning streak, and took the Broncos to the division championship and a home-game appearance in the playoffs. He led them to a stunning upset victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers (headed by Hollywood-values quarterback Ben Roethlisberger) with 316 passing yards for an average of 31.6 yards per toss, confounding his critics and causing a million searches on the internet for the meaning of John 3:16.[5]
The Broncos, perhaps to appease Colorado liberals, found a way to trade Tebow without infuriating his numerous fans. The Broncos signed a neck-injured, elderly quarterback Peyton Manning to a deal costing nearly $100 million, and then immediately traded Tebow to the New York Jets. As the trade was finalized, on March 22, Tebow arrived in Morristown, New Jersey (near where the Jets train) amid much media publicity and fan support.
Predictably, liberal opposition to Tebow getting any significant playing time has led to his sitting on the bench while the Jets underperform against teams Tebow has proven he is able to beat.
During the 2012 season, Tebow has been kept on the bench while Mark Sanchez has played poorly in game after game. For example, on November 22, Sanchez played the entire game against the Patriots, despite causing the team to lose 49-19. Even after Sanchez repeatedly turned the ball over by throwing interceptions and fumbling the ball by running into his own lineman after a botched handoff, Tebow was not given a chance to play.
Finally the coach benched Sanchez, but he (or the owner) still refused to give Tebow any real playing time.[6] The repeated refusal to play Tebow became a bigger story than which side won or lost the game itself.
Tebow is one of Conservapedia's Greatest Conservative Sports Stars and was a runner-up for Conservative of the Year 2011.
Personal life
Tebow was homeschooled until college. He is an outspoken pro-lifer, and his mother had been told to have an abortion rather than to give birth to him. Tebow appeared in a pro-life television ad that aired during the 2010 Super Bowl, risking retaliation against his career by pro-aborts and the liberal media.[7]
Tebow has publically confirmed that he is a virgin. He has been mocked by liberals for waiting until marriage to have sex as a result of his faith.[8] Tebow answered a highly personal question at a press conference about his sex life by revealing that he practices abstinence:[9]
|I think you're stunned right now. You can't even ask a question. ... I was ready for that question, but I don't think ya'll were.
Tebow volunteers on mission trips, one of which in the summer of 2008 to the Philippines was chronicled in an issue of the ESPN Magazine.
His faith in Christ is a well-known fact inside and outside the sports world.
Tebowing is the act of kneeling on one knee, resting your head on your fist and giving thanks. It is named for Tebow's fashion of public prayer, although critics (among which are fellow Christians) have criticized such open practice as this by citing Matthew 6, verses 5 and 6:
And when you pray, don't be like the hypocrites. They love to pray when standing in the synagogues and in the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. I tell you truly: They will get what's coming to them. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
Liberal opposition to Tebow
Liberals in the sports industry have been long opposed to Tim Tebow because they don't want the spread of Christianity in the NFL, so Tebow has been subjected to harassment and criticism because they believe he should be drummed out of the NFL for daring to spread the good work of Christ, using the excuse of him being a subpar player as a shield for the fact they are afraid of the negative reaction of the lamestream media, which they fear will result in negative publicity and loss of sponsorship for the NFL if they allow the spread of Christ's message to be encouraged.

Nokia Lumia 620 announced, Lumia 920T arrives in China
Nokia made two fairly large announcements today, showing off the new Nokia Lumia 620 at LeWeb and launching the Nokia Lumia 920T in China. Both of which, of course, run Windows Phone 8.
The most affordable Windows Phone to date at $249, the Lumia 620 packs a 3.8-inch 800 x 480 TFT ClearBlack display, a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, a 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM, and 8GB of storage plus a microSD card slot for up to an additional 64GB. It even comes with NFC and 14.6 hours of talk time on GSM and 9.9 hours of talk time on WCDMA. Thats not bad for a $249 phone off-contract.
Visually, the Lumia 620 is one of the most striking Lumias yet. Its made with a new dual-shot polycarbonate molding process, which gives the device a layered-color effect that almost reminds me of the original Zune 30. The device will be released in Q1 2013 in white, black, cyan, magenta, orange, and lime green. If youre not a fan of the color or you have a change of mood youll be able to swap out the shell for a different color. In fact, each device also comes with a second shell included in the box.
The Lumia 920T, on the other hand, represents a number of firsts for the Finnish manufacturer. Its the first Windows Phone 8 handset to be sold in China, its the first Windows Phone to be sold on China Mobile, and its the first device to support Chinas TD-SCDMA 3G standard. Other than that, its practically the same as the Lumia 920, which has been flying off of the shelves on AT&T. The Lumia 920T will be made available in black, white, yellow, and red, and orders for the device are expected to go live by the end of the year.
Finally, Nokia announced that Windows Phone has surpassed the 50,000 app milestone in China the Windows Phone Store has more than 120,000 apps in the US and the Finnish manufacturer is working to bring wireless charging to Beijing Airport VIP lounges.
What do you think of these two devices?
[Nokia Conversations: 1, 2 via Windows Phone Blog]
Microsoft Xbox MVP. Long live Zune!

CHICAGO, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- The very guilt associated with indulging in forbidden foods such as chocolate can, in fact, enhance women's enjoyment of them, U.S. researchers say.
Lead researcher Kelly Goldsmith of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Chicago said the study findings show "experiencing the emotion of guilt can increase pleasure," Time magazine reported
In one of the study's experiments, 103 participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the group primed to feel more guilt, participants were asked to unscramble sentences with words related to guilt to cognitively activate the feeling. The second group unscrambled sentences without guilt-related words.
All were then given cups of chocolate candies and were asked to rate them at that moment and again three days later.
The study, published in the Journal of Marketing Research, found participants primed with guilt reported enjoying the chocolate much more than those in the neutral group.

By Nicole L. Garneau, PhDCongrats to Bruce Randolph School of Near Northeast Denver for winning the [email protected] competition sponsored by LiveWell Colorado!
Everyone knows the recipe for healthy eating… lean meat, whole grains and lots of fresh fruits and veggies… but dang! It's not so easy and those hot Cheetos are so good! The companies that make packaged foods, like hot Cheetos, have some seriously smart chefs and taste scientists figuring out exactly what we will want to eat and what will keep us eating. So I was pretty impressed to see a local program that is working to change the equation and put us, real people, in the driver's seat. [email protected] by LiveWell Colorado sponsored a competition for local high school students to be both the chefs and the taste experts in the creation of healthy lunch we would all want to dig into.
"Led by volunteer chef mentors (senior-level culinary students from Johnson & Wales University), each group of students was schooled in a variety of culinary topics, including the intricacies of taste, food safety and knife skills, while also learning about developing a nutritious meal plan, managing a cooking budget and healthy food sourcing, " LiveWell's website describes.
The winning group is made up of five bright and creative seniors from Bruce Randolph School; Jen, Maria #1, Ivan, Janeth, and Maria #2 (aka Chicken). The team was supervised through the YMCA Community Programs director Jen Martin, and was mentored by Johnson & Wales students Angel and Rebecca who volunteered their time for the length of the nine week program. The team's award-winning creation was a BBQ chicken panini wrap with colorful coleslaw and jalapeno infused peach crumble for dessert (recipes are below!). It was designed to pay homage to comfort foods, but included novel twists that added just the right amount of sophistication of taste and quality. I can say first hand that it was a delicious lunch, especially considering the requirements it fulfilled and the limitations placed on the students in creating the meal. First, it met the USDA requirements for nutrition. Second, it was limited to a specific list of ingredients available to Denver Public Schools and had to include at least one ingredient that is grown, baked or produced in Colorado. Finally, it had to cost less than one dollar per serving to make. And despite all these restrictions, the Bruce Randolph team nailed it.
Their menu was featured at the December 13, 2012 [email protected] luncheon where it wowed the audience and inspired me to connect with the students to find out more about their experience.
Team leaders and returning team members, Jen and Janeth, described the first meeting where the students were introduced to the five tastes but doing an extensive series of taste tests, "It was really surprising, how we were all different." Over the course of the program, the team brainstormed, learned the technical side of meal planning and preparation, the science of food and ultimately experimented to develop the tastes within the meals they knew people would like. The result of all this work was a healthy and actually really tasty meal that we can all make at home and that Denver Public Schools will feature in every school cafeteria on May 8, 2013.
The impact of the program goes well beyond the recipe creation though. Community Programs director Jen Martin explained, "My hope would be that students feel less afraid of food and cooking… that they see it's not so scary. The students' progress from week 1 to week 9 showed that cooking became a natural process for the students." The students agreed and expanded on this thought. Ivan talked about changes at home explaining, "My mom buys more vegetables than she did before." And Maria was quick to explain that she did not think she would like the program, "I don't like cooking… but this was a fun experience and I ended up learning a lot." Finally, for at least one student, Jen, it has changed the course of her life. "It made me think about what I want to do, and now I know I want to do culinary arts. It helped me in a way to go to college and to know what to expect."
In honor of [email protected] and Jen, Maria, Maria, Ivan and Janeth at Bruce Randolph, I hope that you'll help us celebrate the launch of this meal on May 8, 2013 when schools across the Denver Public School District will be featuring this meal for lunch. We also invite you to join us at Denver Museum of Nature & Science where we will be featuring it as our special of the day to show our support of healthy eating and [email protected]. And if you have a question about nutrition and healthy recipes, submit them to [email protected]. The students have signed on to be the Museum's guest experts on these topics for the remainder of the school year; you can read their responses to questions that come in right here on our blog.

Indian police on Friday arrested and charged Australian cricketer Luke Pomersbach with molesting a woman and beating up her fiance after a late-night party at a posh New Delhi hotel.
The 27-year-old batsman, who has one international cap for Australia, is signed up in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Royal Challengers Bangalore team, which took on the Delhi Daredevils on Thursday night.
He faces up to three years in jail after being charged with molestation, assault and house-breaking after allegedly groping a 27-year-old American woman during an after-game party at the ITC Maurya Hotel, a police statement said.
"We have arrested Luke Pomersbach for assaulting a woman and beating up the fiance who objected to his action," police spokesman Rajan Bhagat told AFP.
The powerfully built cricketer, wearing a heavy bandage on his right arm, later appeared in a central Delhi court where he fainted. He was granted bail until Saturday.
"My client is denying the charges against him," Pomersbach's lawyer Ajay Bhargava told AFP. "We have received interim bail and my client has to appear in court tomorrow."
Pomersbach has battled depression and drug problems and narrowly avoided a jail sentence in Australia after admitting to assaulting a police officer who was trying to arrest him for drink-driving.
He arrived in India saying he was now "on top of things", adding that he was determined to make the most of the money-spinning but scandal-plagued Indian league in order to get his career back on track.
The alleged victim told the Times Now news channel that Pomersbach had "tagged along" with her and her Mumbai-based fiance and had suddenly grabbed her while they drank together in their hotel room.
Aussie cricketer charged with India hotel assault
Indian police on Friday arrested and charged Australian cricketer Luke Pomersbach with molesting a woman and beating up her fiance after a late-night party at a posh New Delhi hotel.
"My fiance said, 'hey listen, you shouldn't treat any girl like that. Why don't you just leave...'
"When he said that, he (Pomersbach) turned around and started hitting him. He hit him so many times, punched him on his face, that his ear, he got injured in his ear."
The man is in a stable condition in a private New Delhi hospital, but was complaining about losing hearing in his left ear, doctors said.
Royal Challengers Bangalore team manager Avinash Vaidya declined to comment on the incident.
Pomersbach has not featured for Bangalore in this season's IPL, which has again hit the headlines for the wrong reasons and is being dubbed the "Indian Problem League" by some commentators.
Earlier this week, five Indian players signed to IPL teams were suspended after an undercover TV report alleged they were prepared to take money for spot-fixing, an illegal practice in which parts of the game are fixed.
On Wednesday night, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise, was involved in an ugly late-night row with officials at Mumbai's main cricket stadium.
The annual IPL tournament also faces allegations of massive corporate corruption, money-laundering and tax evasion, as well as secret deals to hide teams' real owners and even links to India's criminal underworld.

America's alpine skiers are heating up just in time for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Stacey Cook of Mammoth Lakes tied for fifth Saturday in the second consecutive World Cup downhill in Cortina, Italy, while Squaw Valley's Julia Mancuso took seventh. The Sierra pair has three consecutive top 10 finishes in the past week in Italy.
In Kitzbuehel, Austria, Olympic champion Bode Miller was third at the famed Hahnenkamm downhill. Miller, who won the only training run, skied a tactically tight line but made a mistake going into a flat section to drop .34 behind winner Hannes Reichelt of Austria.
Travis Ganong of Squaw Valley matched his career-best finish in seventh while Marco Sullivan of Squaw Valley also made the top 20.
In Koenigssee, Germany, Monterey's Nick Cunningham had another strong result, taking sixth in the two-man bobsled with Belmont's Andreas Drbal, who is an alternate on the Olympic team.
Cory Butner finished fourth and Steve Holcomb was seventh to win the World Cup overall two-man title.
Cunningham heads to Sochi ranked sixth in the world in two-man.

ReportsnReports.com adds report Commercial Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Market : Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018
to its store. Research announces that it has published a new study
Commercial Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS): Market Shares, Strategy, and
Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018. The 2012 study has 794 pages, 288
tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant
growth as the commercial unmanned aerial systems provide a way to
automate surveillance of wide areas and implement strategic mapping and
first responder support.
Small unit surveillance, urban monitoring, force protection, and aerial mapping are core uses for commercial unmanned aerial systems. Commercial UAS are designed to offer interchangeable payloads: Meteorological, air samplings, IR monitoring and emergency are the most common uses for helicopter UAS. Harbor & border control, area & event security, search & rescue, out-reach Surveillance, and damage assessment are applications for the technology.
Monitoring the security of vast pipelines or patrolling borders are applications. The intuitive and accessible technology of the various commercial unmanned aerial systems (UAS) makes them a choice for civil users.
Drones have made their mark as military air force units for air strikes, but they promise to be aircraft with multiple commercial uses. They are used by governments. Human rights activists, environmental groups and journalists are using drones in their work. Drones can fly above news events to capture images that reporters may not be able to get close to on the ground.
Purchase Report Directly @ http://www.reportsnreports.com/Purchase.aspx?name=182767.
with all military technology, the UAS is evolving commercial uses.
While much of the spending on the high tech units is still military
spending, there are smaller more affordable units that are evolving a
market presence in commercial UAS.
Commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are remotely piloted or self-piloted aircraft that can carry cameras, sensors, communications equipment or other payloads. UAVs are smaller than manned aircraft. They are cost-effectively stored and transported. UAVs make significant contributions to the fighting capability of operational war forces
Drones are technically known as unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. These aircraft, however, are used for air strikes, they are used by governments. Human rights activists, environmental groups and journalists are using drones in their work. Drones can fly above news events to capture images that reporters may not be able to get close to on the ground.
UAS drone is used in the deserts of Yemen or the mountains of Afghanistan. There are 64 drone bases in the US. That includes 12 locations housing Predator and Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles. Drones can be armed. bases are used as remote cockpits to control the robotic aircraft overseas, for drone pilot training. Others serve as analysis depots.
Growth in unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) has coincided with an increase in endurance limit and an increase in mission capabilities of UAVs. In general, there has been an increase in awareness and mission capabilities of UAVs creating an equation for growth. UAVs can perform missions without risking human life.
High altitude long endurance (HALE) UAV provides a cost effective and persistent capability to collect and disseminate high quality data across wide areas. Solar powered UAVs have a demonstrated endurance of more than 300 hours
Commercial unmanned aircraft are small, light, speedy devices able to field many different payloads for mapping, surveillance, and delivery. Commercial unmanned aircraft promise to proliferate, paving the way for a new world order based on innovation. The commercial unmanned aircraft are perhaps the most innovative, most interesting technology emerging."
Unmanned aircraft systems promise to achieve a more significant aspect of commercial presence. Markets at $363.7 million are anticipated to reach $2.8 billion by 2018. Growth will come as the lighter and less expensive devices are performing commercial tasks remotely, with less cost and more versatility than is available in any other manner.

Morse Red Line stop in Rogers Park
"It has a pungent smell of urine. It is a noxious smell that punches you in the nose and smells awful. You have restaurants and cafes and galleries around there, and it would benefit the businesses if people who want to see a play at the Lifeline Theater, eat at the Heartland Cafe or see live music at the Mayne Stage didn't have to walk out of a train depot that smelled like an unclean urinal," Maureen Brill, 54, of the Gold Coast wrote.

Shannon.underhill needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 134 designs submitted by 39 freelance designers.
Two Bears Remodeling
I'm a remodeling carpenter working in the Boston area. I do kitchen and bathroom renovations, finish carpentry, custom closets, custom built-ins, tiling and mosaics, hardwood stairs, simple or elaborate decks. Just about anything that can be done by one person (with the occasional subcontractor).
I have an academic streak that I apply to my work, and gravitated toward remodeling carpentry due to the uniqueness of the complications and opportunities that invigorate each project, especially in the 100-200 year-old homes of my clients. Most trades people focus on trustworthiness, competitive price, etc, but, in my view, that's the base line. My focus is on quality, care and beauty, and the logo should express that. Calm, clear communication, meaningful guidance are essential. I like to push building methods, the final product, and my clients toward the new as much as possible within the constraints of an old city. The constant evolution of building methods and solutions are essential to a life of both physical and intellectual stimulation, and a project imbued with this effort feels differently than the average "slam-bang" job. Two Bears Remodeling is the place to go when you need to solve a problem that can't be addressed with a generic solution.
My target market is primarily middle class or upper middle class homeowners in largely progressive, liberal environs. By inclination, these folks tend to gravitate toward the experimental. However, we live in an old city, and colonial and Victorian architecture is part of almost every home. Post-modern design in an otherwise traditional house, if badly done, can be aesthetically disastrous and possibly detrimental to the value of the home. This is a constant tension, and around it has arose a "transitional" design, a somewhat accepted and shifting mixture of traditional and modern design elements. In this sense, the logo should not imply that I do historical restoration or that I'm planning to append any Gehry-style structures to rear-end of a classical design (although that would be great fun!).
Another way to look at the target audience. They've saved $20,000 of (usually) hard-won dollars, and so they are often nervous about who to trust with building their dream kitchen..."edginess" would make them nervous, but they certainly don't want $20,000 of Home Depot bland either.
Most clients want a sincere and thoughtful person to accompany them though an expensive process, and to give them the confidence that the end result will be to their liking. The word "accompany" best explains this process--can a logo express this?
I've attached a file I've crudely manipulated with my mediocre skills into a tolerable but less than acceptable logo. Feel free to base your design off this file or to do something entirely different. That said, here's a few guidelines:
1. Two Bears are not teddy bears, bears drinking beer, or bears with tool belts and hammers. Nor are they aggressive bears ready to disembowel my clients. They are not Pepsi polar bears, cuddly baby bears, or even more cuddly baby panda bears. I'm more interested in brown bears or grizzly bears, with a demeanor you might find in their more-or-less graceful and natural state outside your door in Alaska (or watching late-night Discovery channel).
2. If there are bear representations, I'm tending toward silhouettes or line drawings as opposed to the photo-realistic end of the spectrum. The bears should not be facing one another UNLESS they are separated by text or graphics. Otherwise, it looks like Two Romantic Bears Remodeling. Lastly, if each bear is a different size and/or in a different position, then it looks better than simply mirrored or copied bear images
3. The design should look good with a white background (unlike attached), since this is the most likely color for business cards, letterhead and my box truck side panels.
4. The design should be no more than 3 times wider than its height.
5. The font should be readable from a distance. No overly elaborate script.
6. The logo must have "Two Bears Remodeling" somewhere in it. No need to mention location or services offered, etc.
7. Don't show a representation of houses, mountains, sun, trees, etc in the logo.
8. Make a logo for my target audience, not for trades people. Think wine with Asian fusion, not pizza and subs topped with sawdust.

Family members grieve over the coffin of Masami Takahashi during a burial service at a temporary burial site in Kensennuma, Japan. Under Japanese Buddhist practice, a cremation is the expected traditional way of dealing with the dead, but now with the death toll so high crematoriums are overwhelmed and there is a shortage of fuel to burn them. Local municipalities are forced to dig mass graves as a temporary solution. More than two weeks after the magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami struck Japan the death toll has risen to over 10,000 dead with still thousands missing and the expectation is that it will end up well over 20,000.

Copper rebounded after slumping by the most in 12 weeks as China's manufacturing expanded more than estimated, helping revive the demand outlook for the industrial metal in the world's biggest user.
The contract for delivery in three months on the London Metal Exchange rose as much as 0.5 percent to $7,208.25 a metric ton and was at $7,200 at 11:23 a.m. in Seoul. The price lost as much as 2.2 percent yesterday, the biggest drop since July 30, on concern that China may tighten credit. Copper fell 9.2 percent this year.
The Purchasing Managers' Index climbed to 50.9 this month, according to a preliminary reading released today by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics. That compares with a 50.4 median forecast from a Bloomberg News survey and September's 50.2. Levels above 50 signal expansion. Economic growth accelerated for the first time in three quarters last quarter and factory output grew 10.2 percent last month.
"Manufacturing in China hasn't been that bad, with the index staying above 50," said Hwang Il Doo, a senior metals trader at Seoul-based Korea Exchange Bank Futures Co. "Still, it remains to be seen whether China will actually tighten its policies."
Futures for delivery in December gained 0.2 percent to $3.2740 a pound on the Comex in New York. Copper for delivery in January on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell 0.7 percent to 51,760 yuan ($8,512) a ton.
On the LME, aluminum and zinc rose, while nickel fell. Tin and lead were little changed.

This is the tale that began in 2006 in my first year of beekeeping in Atlanta, GA. ...there's still so much to learn.
Welcome - Explore my Blog
I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here. Along the way, I've passed a number of certification levels and am now a Master Beekeeper Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

How to use the Wax Tube Fastener
Meanwhile to address the problem, I made a video of how to use the wax tube fastener. I forgot to say in the video that to release the wax from the tube, you slightly lift your thumb from the hole in the handle.
Here it is:

This video is awesome. You are inspiring me to try this natural way of beekeeping. I definitely want to give it a shot at some point. Keep up the wonderful videos which are so much better than reading instructions for someone visual like me.
Take care

This is a nice little gadget - they are not sold in the UK, but I'm already thinking of ways to make one at home. Since this is really only a closed tube with an insulated handle, a nozzle and a hole it's easy to make. I can see that wax setting in it/cleaning the inside is hard unless the handle unscrews. It could be made to pick up more wax with a squeezy rubber bulb at the top too.ReplyDelete

Expression Profile of Genes Involved in Angiopoietin 2-induced Astrocytoma Invasion
Principal Investigator: Shiyuan Cheng, University of Pittsburgh
Funding agency: National Institute of Health
Malignant astrocytomas have the ability to diffusely invade into surrounding brain tissues making them incurable by surgical removal, even when combined with adjuvant radiation, chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. We have previously reported that the overexpression of angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) leads to the acquisition of invasiveness in engineered U87MG intracranial astrocytomas in mice through the activation of MMP-2. However, U87MG as well as other established astrocytoma cell lines contain genetic mutations/alterations in pathways such as p53 and PTEN rendering the precise determination of the molecular mechanisms of invasion difficult. Therefore, we have utilized a minimally genetically altered human astrocyte cell line that stably expresses Ang2 and forms invasive tumors resembling human WHO grade III anaplastic astrocytomas in the murine brain. To begin to explore the mechanisms of Ang2-induced astrocytoma invasion, we employed Affymetrix GeneChip® HG-U133A to identify genes differentially expressed in both U87MG and the constructed astrocytic model systems (parental versus Ang2-expressing clones). Shared alterations and unique differences in genes and pathways involved in the induction of tumor invasion were identified in the two model systems. Ang2 promotes glioma cell invasion in the brain of animals demonstrated by two genetically distinct orthotopic models. Genome-wide analysis reveals that multiple gene pathways are involved in Ang2-stimulated glioma cell invasion. The invasion is mediated by overlapping but distinct genetic pathways in the genetically different cell lines. Such understanding of the genetic fingerprint involved in astrocytoma invasion may lead to the development of novel therapies for the treatment of these deadly brain tumors.

Express Scripts 4Q profit jumps 74 percent
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mail-order and online druggist Express Scripts said on Monday its earnings jumped almost 74 percent as more people used generic drugs and it continued to absorb Medco Health Solutions.
Express Scripts Holding Co. acquired Medco last April, making it the largest pharmacy benefits manager by far. It now manages more than a billion prescriptions every year.
The company's outlook for this year also topped Wall Street expectations.
Express Scripts earned $504.1 million, or 61 cents per share, in its fourth quarter, which ended Dec. 31. Its adjusted earnings were $1.05 per share, slightly better than the $1.02 per share expected by analysts polled by FactSet. Revenue more than doubled to $27.41 billion. Analysts predicted $27 billion.
In the fourth quarter a year ago, it earned $290.4 million, or 59 cents per share. Revenue was $12.1 billion.
The company's $29.1 billion acquisition of Medco made it big enough to handle the prescriptions of more than one in three Americans. Revenue and prescription counts have swelled. In the most recent quarter, the number of claims it handled more than doubled to almost 411 million.
Pharmacy benefits managers, or PBMs, run prescription drug plans for employers, insurers and other customers. They process mail-order prescriptions and handle bills for prescriptions filled at retail pharmacies. They also negotiate lower drug prices and make money by reducing costs for health plan sponsors and members.
More people used generic drugs, increasing Express Scripts' profitability. Generics boost pharmacy profits because there's a wider margin between the cost for the pharmacy to purchase the drugs and the reimbursement received.
Chairman and CEO George Paz called 2012 a "monumental year" for the company because of the Medco acquisition and its progress in integrating the two companies.
Moreover, Express Scripts and Walgreen Co., the nation's largest drugstore chain, resumed doing business last September after a split of nearly nine months. Walgreen fills prescriptions for Express Scripts, but the companies stopped doing business after they failed to agree on terms of a new contract.
Shares rose 21 percent to close the year at $54, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose about 13 percent.
For all of 2012, it earned $1.31 billion, or $1.76 per share. Revenue for the year doubled to $93.86 billion.
The St. Louis company projected adjusted earnings this year of $4.20 to $4.30 per share. However, it said it doesn't know yet how much it will spend on integrating Medco. Analysts were expecting a profit of $3.73 per share.

Masters of Horror: Sounds Like (US - DVD R1)
Gabe Powers politely asks if everyone in the world could please just SHUT UP!
Larry Pearce has the gift and curse of impeccable, pinpoint hearing. Sometimes he can't quite control his ability, and he can be deafened by the quietest of sounds. After he loses his son to a rare heart disease, Larry finds himself unable to deal with his sadness, and focuses squarely on his work—monitoring calls at an IT help centre. But the harder he tries to bury his grief the more sound his ears pick up, slowly driving poor Larry beyond the brink of madness.
Though I've respected both the Brad Anderson features I've seen, I haven't yet subscribed to the increasingly popular belief that he's going to be one of the saviours of American horror. The Machinist and Sessions Nine are both classy, gorgeous, and at least somewhat original motion pictures, but for all their technical mastery neither was particularly emotionally engaging. Basing my opinion on these two films (I've never watched The Shield or The Wire) I can say that Anderson is a very good filmmaker that hasn't quite crossed the threshold into greatness.
Sounds Like is probably the most original entry in the Masters of Horror series, unlike any other in style or content. It's crisp, tight, and clean, and unlike those other Anderson films that left me cold, there is emotional substance to the plot. The emotions here aren't intangible either, though dark and dangerous, and maybe a little broad, this hyper-realistic study of sadness is the kind of thing the series and director could use a little more of. I wouldn't say Anderson was stretching himself into new venues per se, considering that both The Machinist and Sessions Nine are studious looks at descents into madness, but he is honing his craft.
In the last act the intensity ratchets down a few notches and what started as such an original motion picture plot begins to feel a little too much like an updated version of some of Edgar Allan Poe's oft told tales of guilt. When the punch line finally arrives it isn't quite the shock Anderson wants it to be, and some viewers may be a little fatigued after spending fifty minutes with such a hard to love character who finds himself in the same situation the majority of the runtime (not to mention the fact that the box art is a huge giveaway).
Besides maybe The Black Cat, Sounds Like is the most theatrical looking episode this season. Anderson works well within the budget, and fills the episode with impressive but not overtly fanciful camera movement. With all due respect to all the other hard working composers lending their skills to the show, Anton Sanko's score is the most nerve jangling in the series' history, lending another level of bona fide cinematic class. Though the plot itself can't sustain any more than sixty minutes, the episode would look right at home at the local multiplex.
Sounds Like looks like a winner! Huh? Ah, you guys are no fun. Details are occasionally blurred by camera movement, but macro close-ups are sharp, grain is fine, and blacks are deep. The colour pallet varies throughout the film depending on the location and tone of a scene. These varying colours are all rich and mostly well defined. Skin tones are the noisiest parts of the frame, and are invaded by green when bathed in warmer light. Compression is not an issue, and I noticed no edge enhancement.
Sounds Like is, as one may expect given the subject matter, is an audibly assaultive picture. The sound design, which is easily 70% of the film's success, is impressive, and the Dolby Digital 5.1 track is spot on. As the audience we experience almost the entire film through Larry Pearce's super-acute ears, and just like him we have no power over what the soundtrack decides to pinpoint. The sounds that grate on Larry will grate on us, the sounds that startle Larry will startle us. I never thought I'd praise a soundtrack for annoying the hell out of me, but here I am. Anton Sanko's aforementioned score is voluminous, giving the impression of a string quartet sitting right in your living room.
Brad Anderson offers up a consistent commentary track, even though his vocal tones may be a bit on the droney side (he actually yawns a few times). The content of the track isn't the most entertaining, and Anderson has a habit of stating the obvious, but it's still pretty informative and well intentioned. I have a feeling that Anderson is a really nice guy in real life, but seems a little uncomfortable speaking.
And like clockwork this brings us to the discs two featurettes, and as per the norm one covers the making of, the other the special effects. 'Aural Madness' is a general look behind the scenes, where everyone fauns over Brad Anderson. Series producer Mick Garris basically calls the episode the series' best. 'A Cacophony of Sounds Like' is the special effects featurette. There isn't much for the KNB effects guys to talk about because the only make-up effects are a few shots at the end of the show, but Howard Berger musters a disgusting tale of maggots and flies anyway.
Anchor Bay/Starz is now supplying us with previews for every episode of Masters of Horror, rather than a few, and they, along with the original script and a photo gallery finish off the disc.
Like Brad Anderson's other work (or at least the work I've seen) Sounds Like is immaculately crafted, smart, and emotionally visceral, but doesn't quite maintain the level of class and achievement it sets out with. It's easily one of the best episodes in the entire series, only Stuart Gordon's Black Cat wins more of my favour, and should satisfy fans of the series. Fans that prefer the blood and guts spectacle of something like Pelts need to understand that this is a more subtly violent episode, probably the least bloody in the series. Those who may have given up on the series may want to give this one a chance because of its vastly different approach to horror.

this was definitely above average for a tv episode but from Brad Anderson it felt really lacking. but i don't regret paying $8 for it.

LoadingReadyRun: The Job
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NEXT
Soooo good!
Okay, I'm confused now.. I've been watching LoadingReadyRun for several months now but I just can't seem to work out this simple acronym.
Is it LRR (psst, this is the right one!) or LLR (the term a lot of people here seem to like using.. Which stands for what? Listen Like Radios? Wut?
"God dammit jer!" I actually thought "jeremy could move that with his mind, why would they need the other guys? just before he said that. i really did laugh out loud at that! now i feel compelled to watch the other LLR sketches/videos... : )
Very amusing. Can't wait to see if the group goes on more adventures.
Very... Compelling.
I am very appoint.
It was okay, and I'm saying this as a fairly long time LRR fan (over a year). I liked the jokes that were there, but there just weren't that many. Some of the most, and most convincing special effects in awhile, though. And Tim was just AWESOME.
Still, I would have thought you would make a sketch that was more joke heavy than premise heavy to be your sketch to premiere in front of a new audience.
Um...why don't I find that as awesome as everybody else? Sure, the punchline got a chuckle but other than that...I prefer Unskippable & ENN
Loved the punchline, and of course the build up was awesome. Although it's a bit too short for my liking, it was great. A great way to introduce new fans (though to be fair the first time I visited LRR was a week ago :( ) to the series.
This seems promising.
I appreciate your zeal over these things, but we honestly can't expect a new audience to not make the same typo that long-time fans of LRR have been making regularly for the past six years, can we?
No need to get too defensive on our behalf! : )
Genuine laughs - good to see you guys getting a wider audience!!
A good intro to the series.
Also - that looks like a legitimately comfortable sofa.
A nice joke, though with all the Doomsday Arcade I've been watching recently, I expected it to be a barrel-of-laughs-but-straight-action-epic kinda thing rather than a very funny joke
50% laughing
But what's the point of having a rabid fanbase/street gang if you can't clumsily wield them as some kind of crude weapon against those that oppose you?
Sorry, but as a LRR fan before ever seeing the Escapist, I'm glad they are keeping their own logo and identity.
Thanks for the info... I forgot to put Phailhouse on that list. Damn.
Brilliant as ever!
No problem, man. Just thought I'd clarify stuff for ya ^^ As for Phailhaus, random123456789 (best name to type... EVER!), Kathleen's the one editing them now and... They kinda got stolen along with the MacBook Pro of her's. Feel free to help her out on the LRR forums to gain some funds back though! Custom sketches, awesome shwag, Kathleen's quite an awesome artist!
It was okay.
I'm glad to see things are starting off well. Definitely a great way to introduce yourselves here.
Random...VERY random.
Awesome! But where was Bill? :(
I think Bill's taking a hiatus from LRR temporarily due to excessive school work and such. I'm sure he'll still be in videos from time to time. My other concern is "Hey Morgan! Stop playing DOTA for a sec and be awesome like the other guys :O Graham and Paul needed their Manly Chef Morgan!" And yes. Yes, Morgan would've totally been the "Manly Chef".
Nice finishing punchline.
Awesome, can't wait for the next one.
That music was FANTASTIC. Is there any way to get a hold of it?
loved it!
We're discussing ways to make the music available. The guy who does music for us, including the track for this video, is named Bradley Rains, and is awesome.
i lol'd, looking forward to more guys
Who, by the way, is here on the site and on Twitter for those interested. If I'm not mistaken, from a previous LRRcast, didn't Bradley mention quite a few songs he's worked with other musicians on that are on the radio and such?
Very cool! Thanks Tim!
A craft way to introduce the cast in the first episode .... i like it
Of to a good start.
i see that you got more use out of that plastic lobster
Very nice way of introducing yourselves to the Escapist viewers, guys! Nice to see your set stand-by of UVic get some love (including the Centre for Biomedical Research... I've worked there!)
Incidentally, if you liked this vid, check back to loadingreadyrun's website for some older videos. Some personal favourites of mine are "The Writer's Room", "Son of a Bitch", and "The Secret of The Sauce."
Cheers, guys! Looking forward to more next week! ...Maybe some commodoreHUSTLE? ;)
What, Bill and Morgan aren't fit for the team?

UH Doctoral English Student Awarded Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship
Dissertation to focus on unprecedented analysis of traditional Hawaiian literatureUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULUUH Mānoa English doctoral student Kuʻualoha Hoʻomanawanui was one of 35 nationally to receive the Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship this year. Hoʻomanawanui was awarded $21,000 to support research and writing of her dissertation. She is working on a literary analysis of Pele literature published in 19th-century Hawaiian-language newspapers and on the politics of publishing and translation during this politically volatile period of Hawaiian history.
"I'm very honored," said Hoʻomanawanui. "This aspect of scholarship, as an indigenous scholar, is very important to me, as I see myself as one small part of a bigger community who has supported me in my educational endeavors."
Hoʻomanawanui, who is native Hawaiian, dropped out of high school in Kapaʻa, Kauaʻi, and received her GED in 1984. She attended Kauaʻi Community College and transferred to UH Mānoa where she received a BA in Hawaiian studies in 1991, MA in Polynesian religion in 1997 and will complete her PhD in English in 2005. Hoʻomanawanui is also editor-in-chief of "ʻOiwi: A Native Hawaiian Journal," a publication dedicated to the writing and artwork of Native Hawaiian artists, which she co-founded with Mahealani Dudoit who was recently awarded her PhD in English posthumously.
"With her depth and breadth of knowledge, creativity, commitment and achievement, Kuʻualoha's excellence would stand out anywhere, but what she will do as a scholar and a teacher for the Hawaiian community is priceless," said Cristina Bacchilega, UH Mānoa Department of English chair and director of Hoʻomanawanui's dissertation.
The Ford Foundation has funded a variety of projects aimed at promoting academic excellence and advancing the careers of ethnically diverse scholars since the 1960s. The Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowships are focused on increasing the underrepresentation of minorities on college faculties.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Army major has been sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution for his role in a bribery scheme at a military camp in Kuwait.
Forty-year-old James Momon Jr. of Alexandria, Va., is one of 19 people who have pleaded guilty or been convicted in the ongoing investigation. In addition to the prison sentence, he was ordered Tuesday to pay a share of $5.8 million in restitution, along with co-defendants in the probe.
The Justice Department said Momon received bribes from contracting firms that provided bottled water and other goods to U.S. military bases in Kuwait. In exchange, he helped them win contracts with the military.
Momon had earlier pleaded guilty to two counts of bribery and one count of conspiracy.
