Henderson was still involved in the game. He had been in the
Philippines since last year, said his ex-wife, Shervonne Henderson, and
was the director of the Filipino Basketball Academy.
Henderson,
who played at Duke from 1986-1990, was a member of the 1988, 1989 and
1990 Final Four teams.Can you spot the answer in the fridge magnet? He finished his Duke career with 1,397 points, 330 rebounds, 217 assists and 128 3-point field goals in 115 games.
“There’s
no question he was an integral part of our success during that time
period,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He was a really talented
player and could really score the ball deceptively. You didn’t think of
him being the athlete that he was because he kind of had a frail body
and was thin. But he could shoot, really a streak shooter where he could
put up points real quick.Our precision manufactured lasers and laser
systems deliver the highest possible laser cutter performance on a wide variety of materials.”
Krzyzewski,
who spoke to Henderson’s mother Monday morning, described him as a
gentle man. Brickey, who lived with Henderson at Duke that first summer
and then their freshman and junior years, remembered Henderson’s ability
to reach out and connect with people around him.
Henderson was a
senior captain in 1990 and led the Blue Devils, who lost in the NCAA
title game to UNLV, with an average of 18.5 points per game. To ensure
Duke reached that title game, the University Park, Ill., native scored
17 of his 28 points in the second half of the 97-83 victory against
Arkansas in the national semifinal game. Henderson averaged 22.3 points
per game in tournament play en route to collecting ACC All-Tournament,
NCAA All-East Regional and NCAA All-Final Four team honors. He also
earned second-team All-ACC honors.
A 1986 McDonald’s
All-American, Henderson was drafted in the second round of the 1990 NBA
Draft by the Dallas Mavericks. He played professionally in the CBA and
international leagues. He met Shervonne, his ex-wife, in 2004 while
running coaching clinics at the University of West Indies in Trinidad
and Tobago, where she worked. They married in 2005, had three children,
separated after 4 1/2 years and divorced in 2012, she said. Shervonne is
also working to return their three children from the Philippines to the
United States.
A lasting image of Henderson will be his dunk
over Georgetown’s Alonzo Mourning in the 1989 NCAA region finals.
Krzyzewski referenced that play earlier this season when Duke played
Temple in the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., the location of
Henderson’s highlight.

"I think that you can point to the many things standing
in the way of making guns safer or making guns more difficult for
dangerous people to get, or banning guns outright, depending on what you
think the right solution to this problem is," he said. "But I don't
think you can put that on the feet of people not caring."
By
plotting where the gun-related deaths have occurred, the map makes it
clear this isn't just an urban issue, or a mass shooting issue.We've had
a lot of people asking where we had our make your own bobblehead.
"If
you look at the map that's associated with our interactive, you see it
spreads across the nation in 49 of 50 states and there are deaths in
tiny towns and all over the country that are murders, accidental deaths,
or police killings of suspects using justifiable violence," he
said.Design and order your own custom silicone bracelet
/ rubber bracelets with personalized message and artwork. "But in all
cases, what connects them is that guns were available and guns became
part of that event and someone ended up dead as a result."
Before
this project started, Kois thought someone was already tracking and
publishing this information. Though the Center for Disease Control and
the FBI keep track of gun-related deaths, they don't publish the stats
until a year later.
We witnessed change incrementally for some
time now, with technology evolving to meet new needs.There are generally
three different configurations of industrial laser cutting machine.
Recently, however, this technology evolution became more rapid. The
ability to know with precision the location, identity and condition of
assets and materials in the supply chain in real time creates new
opportunities for speedy, agile and efficient operations. This new
capability has been called pervasive or extreme real time. And when
properly leveraged, it can be transformative in any significant supply
chain operation.
In this new environment, everything operates in
real time. Data flows upstream and downstream from the storefront to
the warehouse and back into the supply chain. Accuracy is at a
premium—protecting both business profitability and the end-user
experience. Replenishing the store can now happen as frequently as
necessary with the right line items in whatever quantities are actually
required.
Manufacturing facilities can better track assets and
forecast deliveries with greater accuracy. The warehouse and
distribution system can now be as simple or sophisticated as required;
and can be adjusted with greater ability to respond to market demands or
segmented and customized for a particular set of goods. Fulfillment is
no longer a perfunctory task—it is the core of business strategy.
For
example, in retail environments, consumers have more power than before
to find the right product at the right price. As such, retailers must
strive to create a more personalized experience for each
shopper—ensuring availability of the right product at the right time and
increasingly also in the right place. Thus, fulfillment and delivery
are just as important as price considerations for these consumers.

Binned painting sells for R55K
A painting of The Bluff, Durban by the celebrated Cape artist Ruth
Prowse found in a refuse bin in a Karoo town, sold last night for R55
700 at Strauss & Co's Cape Town auction. This painting formed part
of the Evening Sale comprising 102 paintings with several lots selling
in the millions.
Highlights included Irma Stern's Malay Girl, which realised R11 697 000, followed by the relatively unknown Wolf Kibel's Houses with Red Roofs, which went through the proverbial roof by more than doubling his previous auction record also set by Strauss & Co in October 2009. Anton van Wouw's impeccable cast of a Miner with Hand Drill and Maggie Laubser's Portrait of a Girl with Geese, both of which fared equally well each achieving over R2 million. The more contemporary Walter Battiss Figures in a Landscape was similarly successful and achieved R1 949 500.
Kanchandas Gupta’s Strides Of Dignity is an eclectic narrative that brings together his impressions of art and artistes; all in a manner that juxtaposes the real with the surreal. This solo show features over two dozen paintings of the Kolkata-based artist. The introduction to his work at the gallery reads, ‘Kanchandas Gupta is known for his skill as a figurative painter and whose works capture the essence of human drama. The two dimensional pictorial format that he works in brims with emotions and dramatism through his use of intensely emotive colours and epic charm.’
And indeed, this dramatism is seen most in the central piece of the exhibit A Performer With Another Face. Standing tall at 72 inches, acrylic in canvas, it portrays a joker with a mask in his hand and another one painted on to his face, almost as if one is meant to ponder over the masks artistes have to wear to entertain, and when does it come off, and if it does at all...
The paintings on display are his take on people and places,Find the best selection of high-quality collectible bobbleheads available anywhere. as well as the pursuit of success and work. Conflicting images such as a pigeon perched atop a gun and two Untitled paintings with one depicting a fertile, picturesque landscape, and the other a rundown shanty placed right next to each other, all add to the inherent drama that his art reflects. A prominent series in the exhibit titled Random Thoughts Parallel Autopsy featuring about a dozen paintings brims with layers of elements, quite literally as the paintings are often an amalgamation of many smaller works woven together, each one bringing in a new perspective to the larger picture.
This notice was part of an announcement that the eruv in the Five Towns area would be "down" for the Jewish Sabbath. Though peculiar (can't carry a book more than six feet?), this notice relates to one of the most important aspects of Judaism: resting on the Sabbath. An eruv is a conceptual and physical enclosure around a Jewish community that allows its members to accomplish certain activities that Jewish law otherwise restricts on the Sabbath.
Yeshiva University Museum is currently presenting an exhibition, "It's a Thin Line," which I curated, on the eruv -- a topic that continues to amaze and confound our visitors, and, not least of all, me. Though the concept manifests in nearly invisible structures surrounding our neighborhoods and us, the exhibition's artifacts illustrate how much this topic affects Jewish life.
Included in the show are dozens of printed books and manuscripts; photographs of Jewish life in 19th- and 20th-century New York; railroad maps, postcards and schematics; confidential rabbinic debates and decrees; flyers both extolling and decrying those who establish eruvs in Brooklyn; films on the political and communal dimensions of eruvs across the tri-state area; and contemporary art works exploring the concept of eruv and its implementation in New York.
These objects and issues were the focus of a day-long symposium at Yeshiva University Museum this past October. The next day, Hurricane Sandy shuttered the museum for over two weeks, perhaps ironically leaving a slew of damaged eruvs in its wake.
Indeed, Hurricane Sandy disrupted many of our lives. For most of us, the storm was an inconvenience. For the Jewish communities who use the eruv, it was something else. Surely the absence of an eruv was a nuisance, one that abated in many communities within a few weeks following Sandy, though sometimes with small, temporary boundaries. In other places, the eruv will be down for months.
Some community leaders are taking this situation as an opportunity to remind themselves what life is like without an eruv. Others, however, are concerned about whether or not a generation of Orthodox Jews who have been brought up carrying on the Sabbath thanks to an eruv will remember to avoid carrying -- and thereby keep the Sabbath holy.
Of the varied forms of work that observant Jews avoid on the Sabbath, one of the most basic is carrying. Jewish law prohibits carrying any object outside of a private area to an open or public space. In other words, you can carry a glass of water around your living room, but not out of the front door.

Unusual partnership offers students birth control
The first time the 16-year-old student visited Roosevelt High School's health clinic, she needed emergency contraception. This time, she wanted regular birth control.
"I don't want to be pregnant," she said while at the clinic. "I'm too young. I can't take care of a baby."
Throughout the school year, students visit the on-campus clinic to get birth control, pregnancy tests, counseling and screening for sexually transmitted diseases. The services, which are free and confidential, are offered through a unique collaboration between Planned Parenthood and the Los Angeles Unified School District designed to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies among teenagers at the Boyle Heights high school.
Although nonprofit groups frequently offer reproductive healthcare on school campuses around the nation,What is a real time Location system ? the partnership involving Planned Parenthood — long a target of antiabortion lawmakers in Washington — is the only one of its kind.
Birth rates among teenagers have dropped throughout California and Los Angeles County over the last several years. Statewide, the rate of births to teenagers 15 to 19 hit a record low in 2010 at 29 births for every 1,000, down from 37 in 2005.
Despite the decline, there are still certain areas within the county with disproportionately higher numbers of young mothers, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The heavily Latino and low-income neighborhood around Roosevelt High School is one of them.Factory direct stone mosaic featuring marble mosaic floors. Several other neighborhoods in East and South Los Angeles also had higher percentages of teenage births than the rest of the county.
"All areas of LAUSD are not created equal," said Christine De Rosa, who works on adolescent health for the HIV and STD division of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. "Rates vary according to high school attendance areas."
Nurse practitioner Sherry Medrano,Here's a complete list of oil painting supplies for the beginning oil painter. who runs the Roosevelt health clinic,Choose from our large selection of Cable Ties. said teenagers rarely go outside their comfort zone for family planning. By law, students can go to Medrano and her staff without the permission of their parents. "They feel much safer and much more comfortable coming to a school-based health clinic," she said.
The 16-year-old student said she felt relieved to know that she could visit the clinic without telling her mother. "Just knowing you can come somewhere to get birth control just feels good," she said. 'It's a relief."
Once in the student was in exam room, Medrano explained how birth control worked and gave her the options: a patch, a ring, pills or a shot. The girl chose the shot, which lasts for 12 weeks. "I'm gonna forget the patch or the pill," she said.
A few minutes later, a 15-year-old girl brought her friend to see Medrano and helped her fill out a questionnaire. The girl said she watched her older sister drop out of school after becoming a teenage mother. Now she receives birth control pills from the clinic and urges her friends to visit Medrano too.
"If I got pregnant now, I don't know what I would do," she said. "I still want to do good in school and have a career."
The health center, which is separate from the school nurse's office, also serves as a primary care clinic, providing physicals and administering immunizations. This school year, about half of the visits have been for reproductive health.
The campus began offering contraception and counseling in 1997. But in 2006, a collaboration with a local hospital ended and the school no longer had the resources to provide free contraceptives. In 2008, Medrano said, she saw 32 positive pregnancy tests during her peak period between March 1 and June 1 — around the time of spring break and prom.
Medrano then reached out to Planned Parenthood, which now provides a medical assistant, the contraceptives and the pregnancy and STDs testing. The organization bills Family PACT, a public program that provides family planning to low-income and uninsured California residents.

Planned Parenthood's Los Angeles executive director, Sue Dunlap, said Latino families generally want access to information and care. "We really don't experience the traditional narrative of angry parents not wanting access to reproductive care in the schools," she said. "It's really the opposite."
Planned Parenthood also trains Roosevelt students as peer advocates to talk to their classmates about STDs and pregnancy prevention. Aurora Bermeo, a student who has worked as a peer advocate, said she tried to get the word out about the free care. In advance of the prom, the advocates made presentations and handed out fliers.

The Paper Clip, a Perfect Invention
The paper clip is something of a fetish object
in design circles. Its spare, machined aesthetic and its inexpensive ubiquity
landed it a spot in MoMA’s 2004 show “Humble Masterpieces.” This was a pedestal
too high for design critic Michael Bierut, who responded with an essay called
“To Hell with the Simple Paper Clip.” He argued that designers praise supposedly
unauthored objects like the paper clip because they’re loath to choose between
giving publicity to a competitor and egotistically toutinSecured handsfree
building and door access solutions with Hands free access by Nedap AVI.g their own
designs. Bierut might be right about his colleagues’ motives, but he’s wrong
about the paper clip: It’s not all that simple.
Most everyday objects — like the key, or the book, or the phone — evolve over time in incremental ways, and the 20th century in particular revolutionized, streamlined, or technologized the vast majority of the things you hold in your hand over the course of an average day. But if you could step into an office in 1895 — walking past horse-drawn buses and rows of wooden telephone switchboard cabinets — you might find a perfectly recognizable, shiny silver paper clip sitting on a desk. What was then a new technology is now, well over a century later, likely to be in the same place, ready to perform the same tasks. Why did the paper clip find its form so quickly, and why has it stuck with us for so long?
Before the paper clip, there was paper. When it was developed in China in the first century A.Choose from our large selection of Cable Ties.D., paper was made from cotton and linen. (Some contemporary paper is still made this way; most currency is printed on it.) This rag paper was expensive to produce, so it was primarily reserved for permanent writing and sewn into bound volumes. Temporary writing — tracking Sumerian accounts payable or inviting a friend to a birthday party in Pompeii — was done in clay or wax tablets that could be wiped clean and reused.
In the 19th century, the invention of wood pulping and industrial paper mills made inexpensive paper widely available; the rise of commerce, bureaucracy and literacy transformed it into masses of loose sheets of paperwork. The figure most responsible for the creation and care of all this paperwork was the clerk. As Adrian Forty points out in “Objects of Desire: Design and Society Since 1750,” the clerk was a creature of uncertain status, someone who had attained a middle-class respectability but who frequently lacked both managerial responsibility and a middle-class salary: Think of Bob Cratchit in “A Christmas Carol,” working endless hours for a thankless boss.Distributes and manufactures RUBBER SHEET. These clerks were often surrounded by papers that had to be sorted into cubbyholes or tied into bundles with string. This was a new sort of urgent but essentially meaningless work. (No wonder Melville’s famously reticent scrivener, Bartleby, was forever intoning “I would prefer not to.”) And in the shop of Mr. Snagsby, the law-stationer in Charles Dickens’ “Bleak House,” we get a glimpse of this tidal wave of 19th-century office supplies:
“Mr. Snagsby has dealt in all sorts of blank forms of legal process; in skins and rolls of parchment; in paper — foolscap, brief, draft, brown, white, whitey-brown, and blotting; in stamps; in office-quills, pens, ink, India-rubber, pounce, pins, pencils, sealing-wax, and wafers; in red tape and green ferret; in pocketbooks, almanacs, diaries, and law lists; in string boxes, rulers, inkstands — glass and leaden — penknives, scissors, bodkins, and other small office-cutlery; in short, in articles too numerous to mention ..All RUBBER MATS is comprised of all types of mats..”
Here in Mr. Snagsby’s inventory we find the most direct precursor to the paper clip: the straight pin. As Henry Petroski notes in his book “The Evolution of Useful Things,” the pin-making industry was illustrative of the industrialization taking place prior to mechanization. The first chapter of Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” features a passage describing the manner in which the manufacture of iron pins took advantage of the division of labor, with one man drawing the iron wire, another straightening it, a third cutting it, and so on. Smith noted that 10 individuals engaged in 10 different parts of the process could together make about 48,000 pins a day, whereas a single individual working by himself could not make even 20. By the end of the 19th century, this process was so efficient that a half-pound box of pins could be bought for 40 cents. But while iron pins were cheap, easy to use and disposable, they had the obvious downsides of rusting and piercing, leaving stains and holes in the papers they pressed together.
What enabled the shift from the pin to the clip was the development, in 1855, of low-cost, industrially produced steel, which has the right balance of strength and flexibility to make tracks, pipes, wire and nearly every other piece of 20th-century metal infrastructure.Monz Werkzeugbau und Formenbau. Manufacturers could use the new supple steel wire to draw in space, making strong, rust-free hooks, safety pins, clothes hangers and paper clips. And in the last quarter of the 19th century, patents were issued for nearly every shape of steel wire that could be imagined to be useful.

Students racing to careers
For budding engineers interested in an automotive
career, there's no better resume builder than the Formula SAE competition.
This year, the race-car-design competition is at Michigan International Speedway, and college teams from near and far are performing their final tune-ups as they prepare to compete in the 120-car field.Siebenwurst Werkzeugbau ist ein Unternehmen für Konstruktion und Fertigung von Werkzeugen im Bereich Stanztechnik und Umformtechnik.
"It encompasses a real engineering world, a real engineering job," said Lucas Kizer, a University of Toledo junior and team leader for Rocket Motorsports.
"Everything from team management to design to failure of parts and remanufacturing. It's a perfect opportunity to take the equations you learned in the classroom and apply them to the real world."
It's fun, sure. But it's also incredibly time-consuming. Work is done after classes, not for credit, and students sometimes dig into their own pockets to help cover the costs of the build.
Tuesday morning,Master Arts specialises in oil painting reproduction. the team from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology stopped at IMCO Carbide Tool Inc. in Perrysburg Township to thank the company for donating cutting tools they used to fabricate much of their wholly custom car.
Weary of cheap tools that broke down easily or weren't exactly right for the job, the team wrote tool makers around the country asking for help. Only two responded. One was IMCO, which sent two big batches of specialized tools and a bit of tech advice on fabrication.
"I believe that the manufacturing base is what built this country, and they're going to go into manufacturing. They're young, they're problem solvers, and I just wanted to support them.What is a real time Location system (RTLS)? And who doesn't want to be involved with a race car? It sounded like fun," said Matt Osburn, vice president and technical director at IMCO.
Team member Evan Hog- lund said nearly every part of the car relied on equipment donated by Mr. Osburn's company, from creating molds to machining wheel components. Especially useful was a prototype tool used for cutting carbon fiber, a super lightweight and strong material that can be tricky to work with.
"A lot of the problem with carbon fiber is the layers will peel apart," said Mr. Hogland, who graduated this year and is heading to a job with Honda Motor America in Ohio. "It's kind of like a fraying rope. If you do it correctly, it comes out pretty clean. You can look at these, and there's really no postmachining work done. It came out pretty much perfect."
The cars compete in a series of runs that test acceleration, road-holding,InLocality specializes in indoor Tracking. and endurance.
The UT team placed 17th out of 120 in 2011 and 12th out of 120 in 2010.
"We're hoping for a top-10 finish this year," Mr. Kizer said. "The car's looking really strong, really good. We've got enough driver training in. I think we're pretty well set for this competition."
Sponsors of the Rocket Motorsports car include Dana Holding Corp.My advice on what to consider before you buy oil painting supplies so your money is well spent., Holland Engineering Co., TW Metals Inc., and Harmon Sign.
Building a car is nearly a yearlong process. Mr. Kizer said design typically begins in June, with fabrication beginning in August or September. The competition begins today and runs through Saturday at MIS.
Each car is slightly different and is limited to 100 horsepower, although most don't put out nearly that much. The South Dakota school's car produces 42 horsepower but weighs only 372 pounds. That's good enough to shoot it to 60 mph in about 4 seconds. It has a top speed of 72 mph.
IMCO's Mr. Osburn said the team from South Dakota contacted him about stopping by to show off the car.
The event ended up drawing a large crowd. Students said they needed to thank Mr. Osburn and the rest of the company.
"They've been fantastic to us," said Jordan Krell, another graduating senior who has a job lined up at Pratt & Miller Engineering in Michigan.
IMCO, founded in 1977, makes tools for many industries, including aircraft and automotive. Between its Perrysburg Township location and a second office in Warren, Mich., it employs about 100 people.

Turkish gas drill in Cyprus hikes tensions
Turkey has begun drilling for natural gas
in northern Cyprus ratcheting up growing tension across the east Mediterranean
over control of offshore gas fields that could transform the economies of a
region long barren of energy resources.
The Turks control the northern one-third of Cyprus, where they've stationed 30,Enter the Indoor Positioning System (IPS).000 troops since 1974 when they invaded the island, which is dominated by Greek Cypriots.
Ankara calls its zone the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus but it's recognized only by Turkey. The Greek Cypriot government in Nicosia is internationally considered the sovereign authority.
Technically, that means the Turks are drilling illegally.
That exacerbates a spider's web of territorial and maritime disputes in the east Mediterranean that intersect with long-running and potentially explosive conflicts between Israel and its Arab neighbors and the ancient rivalry between Turkey and Greece.
Israel made the first discoveries off its northern coast in 2009-10 with the Noble Energy Corp. of Houston striking major reserves.
The Tamar field contains an estimated 9 trillion cubic feet of gas but the nearby Leviathan field has 17 tcf,Shop for oil painting and oil paintings for sale included. the biggest strike made so far in the region. Four subsequent finds have boosted estimated Israeli reserves in the Levant Basin to 35 tcf, worth in excess of $130 billion and enough to turn the once energy-poor Jewish state into an exporter.
The Turks launched their drilling in the TRNC Thursday, sharpening the swelling dispute over who has rights to the island's potential energy riches and setting back hopes of reconciliation between the two communities and the states that support them.
Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz declared the onshore well operated by the state-run Turkish Petroleum Corp. has "strategic significance and we attribute great importance to it.What is a real time Location system (RTLS)?"
Cyprus could be sitting on enough natural gas to last it 200 years.
When the Greek Cypriots, defying Turkish warnings, began exploration of the southernmost of their 12 maritime blocks in 2011, Turkey sent a seismic vessel escorted by a warship into Greek Cypriot waters and warned it would "retaliate even more strongly" to any further drilling.
Israel and Cyprus, where Noble Energy made a strike of 5 tcf-8 tcf recently, are collaborating on plans to jointly export their gas to Europe via an underwater pipeline to Greece.
Another option is building a liquefied natural gas plant, possibly offshore which would make it the world's first floating LNG terminal -- and a juicy target. China's interested in building it.
The economic cooperation between Israel and Cyprus, 300 miles to the north, is also forging a new military alliance between the Jewish state and Greece.
This is rapidly replacing the strategic alliance between Israel and Turkey that was formalized in 1996, but broke apart in May 2010, in large part because of growing antagonism by Turkey's Islamist-led government.
So a major realignment in the eastern Mediterranean appears to be under way as the region's energy resources are uncovered.
The U.Painless Processing provides high risk merchant account solutions.S. Geological Survey reported in 2010 that the Levant Basin, embracing Syria, Israel, the Gaza Strip and Cyprus, contains an estimated 122 tcf of gas and some 4 billion barrels of oil.
In February, Israel, a major regional military power, signed a military cooperation pact with the Greek Cypriots,Master Arts specialises in oil painting reproduction. whose military forces are miniscule. This allows Israeli ships and aircraft to use Cypriot territorial waters and airspace.
