--Kansas leads the NCAA in field goal percentage defense at 34.2 percent, just 1/1,000th ahead of KU's next opponent, Texas, at 34.3 percent. Kansas is second in NCAA Division I and first in the Big 12 in blocked shots at 8.1 per game and also leads the conference in scoring margin (+17.4), field goal percentage (48.9) and three-point field goal percentage (36.8). The Jayhawks also rank in the top four of the Big 12 in scoring (second, 76.8), free throw percentage (third, 74.3), rebound margin (third, +5.9), assist-to-turnover ratio (second, 1.3) and made three-pointers (third, 6.1).
--Over the last eight contests, KU is averaging a 19.9-point scoring margin over its opponents.
--The Jayhawks have held a double-digit lead in all but one contest this season, with the exception coming in their 67-64 loss to Michigan State on Nov. 13 when they held a seven-point lead.
--Out of its 16 games, Kansas has held 10 of its opponents under 60 points.
--KU has outrebounded 13 of 16 opponents this season including eight of its last nine foes. KU has had four games with 10-plus rebounds over its opponent.
--Kansas has outshot all but one opponent in 2012-13. Only Michigan State outshot KU this year (52.1 to 50.0 percent). Additionally, KU has shot 50 percent or better in eight games this season, including seven of the last nine contests.
--Eleven of Kansas 15 wins have been by 13 or more points.
--Kansas has held a 40-plus point lead in four different games this season.
--Kansas had four players score in double figures in nine of the last 11 games, including five against Iowa State (1/9). Eight different players have made that happen: Ellis, Johnson, McLemore, Releford, Tharpe, White, Withey and Young.
Kansas redshirt freshman Ben McLemore was named to the Sporting News Mid-Season All-America First Team it was announced Jan. 15. McLemore is joined on the first team by Oklahoma State freshman Marcus Smart, Michigan sophomore Trey Burke, Creighton junior Doug McDermott and Duke senior Mason Plumlee.
Kansas has shot 50 percent or better from the field in seven of its last 10 games and leads the Big 12 in field goal percentage at 48.9 percent. Included was a season-high 63.0 percent effort against American (12/29) and a 60 percent game versus Oregon State (11/30). Individually, senior guard Travis Releford is 66-for-93 (71.0 percent) from the field in his last 13 games and 29-for-40 (72.5 percent) in his last seven contests. Also in his last four outings, Releford is 9-for-16 (56.3 percent) from three-point range. Redshirt freshman guard Ben McLemore has shot 50 percent or better from three-point range in six of his last eight games, including a 6-for-6 effort against Iowa State (1/9). Senior center Jeff Withey has shot 50 percent or better in 12 of 16 games this season, including eight games at 60 percent or higher. Senior forward Kevin Young is 27-for-45 (60.0 percent) in his last seven games which included a 7-for-9 performance at Texas Tech Saturday (1/12).
Kansas redshirt freshman guard Ben McLemore was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Mens Basketball Player of the Week Jan. 14. McLemore averaged 21.5 points and 3.5 rebounds as Kansas won its first two games in Big 12 play with a 97-89 overtime win over Iowa State and a 60-46 victory at Texas Tech. Included was a 33-point effort against Iowa State, which is the most points scored in the Big 12 this season.
The Big 12 Player of the Week honor was McLemores first of the 2012-13 season. He was also named Big 12 Rookie of the Week on Dec. 24. McLemore becomes the first Big 12 freshman this season to earn the player honor and the first to win both player and rookie accolades in 2012-13.
Historically, McLemore becomes only the second Jayhawk in the 17-year history of the Big 12 to have earned Big 12 Player and Rookie of the Week in the same season. Mario Chalmers also accomplished the feat during the 2005-06 season. Other eventual Big 12 Player(s) of the Year who accomplished both include Kevin Durant (Texas) during the 2006-07 season and Michael Beasley (Kansas State) during the 2007-08 season.
McLemore becomes the third different Jayhawk to be named Big 12 Player of the Week this season. He joins KU seniors Travis Releford (Nov. 26) and Jeff Withey (Dec. 3). This is the second-straight season Kansas has had three different players earn the weekly honor. Last year, KU had four different players named Big 12 Player of the Week - Releford, Withey, Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor - which was a Big 12 first for one season.
Kansas moved up to No. 4 in both the Associated Press poll and the USA Today Coaches' poll released Jan. 14. Dating back to the final three polls of the 2008-09 season, this marks the 68th-straight poll in which the Jayhawks have been ranked in the AP poll, including 58 times in the Top 10. In the coaches' poll, Kansas has been ranked in each of the last 73 polls, including 60 times in the Top 10.
Here are some block party notables for Kansas All-American candidate Jeff Withey:
--The 2012 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Withey set the KU and Big 12 single-game record with 12 blocked shots versus San Jose State (11/26).
--Withey leads the Big 12 and is second nationally with 4.7 blocked shots per game. KU's record for single-season blocked shot average is 3.6 set by Withey in 2012.
--Withey's 75 blocks in 2012-13 are more than seven Big 12 teams this season and rank 12th on the KU single-season list. He is one blocked shot from entering the top 10 and six from the top eight.
--Withey ranks fifth on the KU career blocked shots list with 240. He is 18 blocked shots from the KU career record of 258 held by Greg Ostertag (1992-95).
--For his career, Withey has had 10 games with seven or more blocked shots, including three in 2012-13.
--Withey broke the NCAA Tournament record for blocked shots with 31 in the 2012 event.
--Withey broke the Kansas and Big 12 single-season blocked shots record with 140 last year (3.6 per game). He became only the second Jayhawk to pass 100 blocked shots for a single season (125, Cole Aldrich in 2009-10).
Kansas guard Ben McLemore leads the Big 12 freshman class with a 16.4 scoring average, which is second overall in the conference. KU's leading scorer as well, McLemore has five games with 20 points or more this season, including a 33-point effort against Iowa State (1/9) in the Big 12 opener.
Kansas freshman record-wise, McLemore's:
...16.4 ppg would surpass the KU freshman record of 14.6 ppg held by by Danny Manning in 1985.
...5.4 rebound average would rank 10th on the KU freshman list.
...30 three-pointers made in 2012-13 are tied for 11th on the KU freshman list.
...43.5 three-point field goal percentage is fifth on the KU freshman list.
McLemore's 33 points against Iowa State (1/9):
--Were the most by a Jayhawk since Marcus Morris tallied 33 points against Iowa State on Jan. 12, 2011.
--Are the most points scored in a game this season in the Big 12 Conference for all players.
--Were the most by a Kansas freshman since Danny Manning scored 35 points against Oklahoma State on March 2, 1985.
--Consisted of him connecting on 6-of-6 three-point field goal attempts, marking the best three-point field goal percentage since Rex Walters went 6-for-6 from beyond the arc against Ball State in 2003.
--Included him making 7-for-7 free throws, the most free throws without a miss since Tyshawn Taylor went 8-for-8 from the charity stripe against Texas on March 3 of last season.
Kansas will continue league play on the road at Kansas State on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m. on the Big 12 Television Network. The Jayhawks return home Saturday, Jan. 26 against Oklahoma at 3 p.m. on ESPN and then play their second of four ESPN Big Monday's at West Virginia on Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. (Central).

Well that was pretty bad overall. More laziness and complacency for about 30 minutes of game, but hey, they dealt with the adversity well and got the win. Those are never easy on the road.
I still wish Bill would find a way to get McLemore more shots. Only 10 of them today (made 6). He's incredibly efficient and needs to be a huge part of the offense especially when the team is struggling.

I think Texas should get a lot of credit here. They played very good D and got KU out of sorts. If not for KU's really good free throw shooting they would have won because they shot pretty well themselves. They had a good gameplan it just didn't quite play out.
If I'm right they'll have Kabongo back when they come to AFH. I wouldn't count them out of a tight game. Defense travels.

KU will see the formula Texas and a few others have used to near success in the Tourney. Especially the first few rounds. It's a good thing to learn how to beat it now.

New term coined at the Lazy Frog - scorgasm... when a successful, game altering score by your team causes at least one person at the table to jump up, bump the table leading to the loss of some/all of a beer on the floor and/or table.

Whether you've had an amazing year or simply can't wait to see 2012 pass you buy, one thing is for certain: New Year's Eve is almost upon us, and that means an evening full of adult beverages, Auld Lang Syne playing at midnight, and a morning full of regret after that 10 you went home with turns out to be a two. While we deeply regret not being able help you with the last part, we'd like to see you safely into 2013 all the same. That's why we've come up with this handy list of apps for iOS and Android to ensure you ring in the New Year safely by not drinking and driving.
AlcoDroid (Android: Free)
Let's face it, you're probably going to drink tonight — a lot. But that doesn't mean you can't go about it responsibly. Rather than try to remember what you've been knocking back all night, Alcodroid helps keep tabs on exactly what you've had. A drinks diary helps you chart your drinks by day, week, or month, and a blood alcohol content reader (BAC) lets you know when you're over the legal limit based on how much you've had to drink. By letting you set up "drink presets" for custom drinks, as well as pin your most frequently consumed drinks to the home screen for quick logging, Alcodroid makes tracking your drinks fast and easy.
Think you might be enjoying grandpa's old cough medicine a bit too much? Alcodroid allows you to setup drinking goals, and not the "how many shots you can down in one night" variety. Instead, users can set weekly limits, say 15-20 in a week, to help chart and change drinking habits.
R-U-Buzzed? (iOS/Android) Free
We don't know, R-U? Not yet, but you will be, and that's exactly what this free app from Colorado's Department of Transportation is here to help find out. A blood alcohol level calculator at its core, R-U-Buzzed helps gauge how much of the sweet sauce is in your blood stream. Simply enter your weight, gender, how long you've been drinking, and the amount of alcohol consumed. (The app assumes that one drink is equal to 12 fluid ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.)
The app then calculates and displays your BAC number and informs you whether or not you're too intoxicated to drive. A GPS feature marks your current location and helps you locate a cab.
While R-U-Buzzed might be made by the fine folks at CDOT, be sure to heed the apps disclaimer: "This blood alcohol concentration (BAC) calculator is only an estimate and is not sufficiently accurate to be considered legal evidence." Think you had too much? You probably have.
Steer Clear: (iOS/Android) Free
So you said you weren't going to drink tonight, but then gave into sweet temptation. You drove to the bar, but you realize you're too hammered to drive home. You could call a buddy, but you're fresh out of favors. You could call a cab, but what about your car? Well, there's an app for that.
StearClear is a personal chauffeur service where you supply the wheels. The app uses your phone's GPS to locate you're exact position, and a team of two professional drivers are dispatched to your location, ensuring you get home safe and sound.
Payment and tipping is handled entirely through the app, but at present a couple drawbacks exist: StearClear is currently only available in New Jersey, Manhattan, and Pennsylvania, and it isn't cheap, with a $20 pickup fee and an additional fee of $2 per mile.
Drink Tracker: (iOS) $1.99
Similar to Alcodroid, Drink Tracker helps monitor your BAC, record how many drinks you've had, and features a handy one-tap drinks list, which you can customize for fast tracking.
Multiple drinkers can track their drinks, with up to three profiles allowed on one device. Users simply input their gender, age, height, and weight, and Drink Tracker will update that user's BAC level automatically every 60 seconds, even if the app is turned off.
A target BAC can be entered, with a countdown timer showing how long until that target is reached. Drink Tracker even adds some social elements with the optional ability to auto tweet when you've had a drink. A simple one-button GPS feature called "Outta Here!" will use your current location to give you directions home, find a taxi, or send an SMS or email to friend notifying them of where you need to be picked up.
BreathalEyes (iOS) $0.99
GI Joe said "knowing is half the battle," and we're inclined to agree. How many times has a friend stumbled their way out the bar door, keys in hand, determined to drive, and clearly intoxicated, stubbornly trying to convince everyone of their sobriety, while you argue to the contrary. If only they knew how drunk they were, half the battle would be won. Well there is, and it's called BreathalEyes ($0.99).
Using the iPhone's camera to detect involuntary eye-movements, known in the medical world as Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), BreathalEyes informs potential drunk drivers when they've had one drink too many.
BreathalEyes requires a second person (preferably sober) to scan the recipient's eyes and administer the test, so it won't work if you're running solo. Like R-U-Buzzed? BreathalEyes won't stand up as legal evidence, but rather is intended for entertainment purposes. The app only works within an effective range of 0.02 — 0.18 percent, with (+/-) .02 percent accuracy of BAC levels. Put simply, it's meant to show your drunk friends that they need to hand over the keys because they're too intoxicated to drive.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
There is not a day that passes in the hospital without the need for a nurse. High demand for skilled and trained nurses has opened up many job opportunities for those who are considering a career in the medical field. Today, the nurses are one of the most important professionals in the health industry, because of their major roles in administrative services and patient care There are different kinds of nurses in the health industry; a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is one of them.
What is an LPN?
LPN stands for licensed practical nurse. A licensed practical nurse is a professional nurse who works closely with registered nurses and doctor to preform health care services, such as helping patients to dress and collecting samples for testing. At times, they are also assigned nursing assistants and aides to supervise and educate in a hands-on work environment. The origin of licensed practical nursing can be traced back to around 1945, when licensing standards for nursing were put in place. Today, the profession has become so enviable that many high school graduates seek to know how they can become a part of the team.
How to Be a Licensed Practical Nurse
The job requirements of a licensed practical nurse require a certain level of education and skills set. Training programs and classes are available to prepare and educate future nurses and teach them they skills needed to succeed. One can take a training program in a community school, technical school or nursing college. It takes about one year to complete the training. After the training, one still needs to sit for the LPN licensing exam. Passing this exam is required to work as a licensed practical nurse. In licensed practical nursing, courses to take include anatomy and physiology, pediatric nursing, medication calculation, nutrition and psychiatric nursing.
LPN Nursing Jobs
There are several job options an LPN can choose from. Licensed practical nurses work in health care institutions, such as nursing homes, hospitals, home care and doctors' offices. Diverse career options and a high demand for skilled professionals make LPN programs a great career investment. LPN programs have even been made more accessible with the availability of online LPN nursing classes. A lot of new licensed practical nurses are getting well paid by taking part in the opportunities provided by LPN travel nursing jobs and other industry positions for hands on experience. Find an LPN job.
LPN Salaries
Although it takes between one and two years to get licensed as a practical nurse, there are encouraging rewards for LPNs once they make it into the nursing job market. Annually, most licensed practical nurses are paid between $25,000 and $40,000; pay can fluctuate based upon the nursing industry and economy. The difference in salary earned also depends on the work place of the nurse. For instance, nurses that work in nursing care facilities usually earn higher than those that work in the doctor's office.
While considering enrolling in an LPN program, it is important to pay attention to the different LPN programs offered by different colleges and vocational schools. Any institution that claims to be capable of inculcating the right skills should be checked for verification. Normally, good institutions that offer LPN programs have several testimonials that can attest to their high qualities and standards.

With Saints trip to Bournemouth coming up, we will inevitably see a rise in twitter statements about how it 'isn't a derby' from both sides of the New Forest and lots of claims that 'we don't care.
The irony is that the more people shout about how they don't care, the more they sound like they do.
I gathered a varying array of fans and asked them how they feel about the 'Not a Derby Derby'.

How do you feel about Bournemouth?
smm 'Used to like them. Would remember at The Dell and the annoucer would always give us the Portsmouth and Bournemouth results in addition to the top flight results (snigger, snigger) and we would always cheer when Bournemouth won and boo when Portsmouth won. I always looked out for their results and hoped they would win. So it was a complete shock to me when I started my first day at the Bournemouth Echo (back in 2001) when I was speaking to the librarian and life-long Cherry fan who almost imploded when I said I was from Southampton and a Saints supporter. The vitriol I was greeted with really surprised me. When i was called a scummer, I was almost offended on behalf of Portsmouth and said: 'You can't call me that, only Portsmouth people can call me that.' Since then I've met a few more Bournemouth ST holders who look at me as if I'm a bad smell under their nose. They're not interested that I'm actually from Southampton and a long-line of generations of Sotonions – they just see another 'glory hunter' (I kid you not) living in Dorset that supports the Saints. So thanks to the vitriol of a handful, I'm not so fond of Bournemouth and am rather satisfied when we beat them. The main thing I have learned from living in these parts is that most people couldn't give a toss about football. For 10 years I'vve been quite happily driving around in my Saints emblazoned car without a mutter or look of disgust (I wouldn't chance it in Portsmouth). In my experience most people who do like football in Bournemouth are armchair supporters of the likes of Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea etc and many of those are now helping to fill out Dean Court now they're in the Premier League. I've actually come across more Bournemouth fans in Poole than I ever did in Bournemouth. My guestimate is Bournemouth have a hardcore of 5,000 fans – it's not a football town.'
ah 'Having always been the bigger team in terms of fan base and league position, I've never seen Bournemouth as a real rival. Obviously the team to the East in blue have and will always be the main rivals even though in my time we've only bumped into them (mostly disastrously from memory!) in the league for a few seasons. Saints v P*mp*y will always be the real rivalry. For that reason I've never had any bad feeling towards Bournemouth and have always wanted them to do well. This did change slightly though when I was the only fan in the pub when we played in the 2003 FA Cup final when there was A LOT of vitriol coming at me and us on the screens from a few of the Bournemouth fans.'
sb 'Love the beaches… they are great in the summer. But in terms of the football club, I can't say I'm too bothered about them to be honest. It is the same sort of feeling I have for Reading or Poole Town.'
km 'I quite like them, and remember the days of their results being cheered at the Dell and have always thought well of them. I also lived in Bournemouth for a bit and have many friends that are Cherries fans and like to see them do well.
That said in reality for 99% of the time i'm pretty indifferent to them, i never check their results or pay any real attention to them and it's only the fact they're relatively close that gives me any interest in them (in the same way as Brighton, Swindon or Reading).'
How do you feel about Southampton?
cp 'I've mellowed a lot with age towards Saints. When I was a kid, you didn't say Southampton, it was always Scumhampton. But that was at primary school, I had no idea that Bournemouth even had a football club and it was more in a jokey name-calling way. I guess it was the nearest big city in a neighbouring county so kids needed somewhere to see as a rival. Then when I started going to games I realised it was an opinion bigger than that of the small town I grew up in and people were quite passionate about it. And there were a few years of hate, admittedly, but I've grown up since and these days it's not really that much of an issue for me – I think the games in League 1 helped to end that. We'd goaded each other for years without any chance of being on the same pitch but by 2011 we'd been in the same league, played each other for the first time in 13 years and we'd lost all 3 games that season (typically after all that time, we got each other in the League Cup that year as well) and could go our separate ways as far as I was concerned, I was off sulking with my tail firmly between my legs. Now, for me, it's more of a friendly goading, nothing malicious. I just can't be bothered. And I have many Saints friends who are – SHOCK HORROR – decent human beings. And I love Ronald Koeman.
However, when Saints came to Brentford in 2011 and Rickie Lambert took a free kick that hit me at full force in the crowd behind the goal, I did have a few choice words for him, the club and the general area of Southampton. I wasn't very ladylike. Apologies.'
pb 'My mood has probably changed over the years. I used to dislike them in every way as they have always been the bigger team 🙁 but that has changed to grudging respect as I think Southampton have produced some great players and AFCB could learn a thing or two in how they have managed to establish themselves in the Premier League. I was actually rooting for the Saints when they beat Man Utd in the cup in 1976 as well, so sometimes the southerner support can stretch up past the New Forest with me.'
at 'It's difficult, because my loyalties are somewhat split. I would probably say I'd favour a Bournemouth win, mainly because they're my hometown club, but also because they need the points to survive.
When I was about 5, my dad used to take me to watch both teams. First Saints game I can remember is when I watched Saints 4-3 Norwich. Kevin Phillips played a blinder if I remember correctly! I was also a mascot for Bournemouth on my 8 birthday.'
Fans on both sides seem desperate to claim that it isn't a 'derby', but surely it would be great for everyone if it became one?
smm 'I disagree – I think Bournemouth fans are desperate to claim it's a derby and a lot of Saints fans are probably protesting too loudly that it isn't. It's a local rivarly without doubt and the Bournemouth fans see us as their nearest rivals. There is a lot of spite because they live and work with so many Saints fans, but not so much the other way round. Summing up my own feelings I'd be delighted to beat them but not feel like the world is coming to an end if they beat us (which I would feel if we lost to you know who). It's not THE derby but as we're unlikely to experience that one for a while, let's enjoy this one.'
ah 'Given what's happened to the blue team, in terms of a practical point of view, this is the only derby we're going to have for the foreseeable future (unless you want to classify Reading as a rival and they make it back up – I don't BTW) I guess from my exposure to Bournemouth fans, I would say that they see it much more of a derby then we do. They don't have anyone closer than us as a team whereas we have 'them'. And to me derby's are more about history than necessarily locale. I don't know the differences but I'm sure there are lots of teams close to say, Man Utd who would say they have a local rivalry with them (e.g. Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton etc) but Utd wouldn't see it like that so they aren't really derby's in the sense that there is a lack of animosity between both sets of fans.'
sb 'Technically I think it is a derby. I get loads of abuse from Bournemouth/UTD fans when games come up giving me banter. It would be good for the clubs as well. The media obviously see it as a derby as they have put both games on TV. I look forward to the games in the same way I used to look forward to playing against my younger brothers team in a tyro pre-season friendly. We know we will win but it is nice to see how they have grown up from last year.'
km 'I think the issue is that from our side – Saints – it isn't a derby and we have no interest in the slightest in it becoming one. The problem comes with the reactions that follow from our opinion. Our lack of interest or desire for it to be judged so gets deemed arrogance, when in fact it's a statement of fact, there's one team, one city and one group of inbreds that we care about, the dirty skates.
As for would it be good? I don't really see why it would be anything, it's a local game and an a decent away day (Bournemouth is a great place for a drink despite the stupidly early last train back!).
Personally i'd much rather people stopped referring to it as a derby and just got on with it. It holds little to no importance in Southampton and never has in my lifetime. I often attribute the need to call it a derby to the Soccer AM generation that were brought up thinking every club needed one. But not every club has a derby.
If anything the need to make this a derby turns me off the game, it becomes boring to deal with Cherries fans that want it to be that way and i have to be honest I didn't bother going to the cup game against them despite being a season ticket holder as i found the entire thing boring and uninteresting.'
cp 'The very fact that everyone is so desperate to go to great lengths to constantly state that it's not a derby to me surely means it's more than just another game?! Not sure I'd go so far as to say a rivalry, but the fact that Premier League clubs are quite sparse on the south coast (oh look – there's only two of us) means that as Prem neighbours (my mind is still boggled at saying that) it's a derby by location if nothing else?! Either way, the competition of who cares less about who will rage on till the end of time, I'm sure. But, then again, I don't care. And I definitely care less than you, ok?'
pb 'Eddie Howe said last time the two clubs played that AFC Bournemouth have to start winning some of these clashes if they want it to truly become a derby game and I tend to agree with that. There is no real grudge against the Saints as there have not been many matches between the two clubs and when they have met Southampton have usually come out on top. I'd like to think that it will become a south coast derby that both clubs can look forward to for a few years to come, but I feel that fans of both sides probably dislike some other clubs more than each other. I know a few Saints fans that, believe it or not, are pleased to see the Cherries in the Premier League – at least we are both guaranteed at least one short travel away game as season.'
at 'I don't see why it's a bad thing. I've not seen that much animosity between the two fanbases, certainly not to the same extent as Saints and Pompey! With Pompey now languishing in the lower leagues, surely a new, less fierce rivalry would be welcomed by saints fans?'
Saints fans often have a 'soft spot' for Bournemouth. Has that changed since they were promoted to the Premier League? And will that change with continued success?
smm 'I think it began to change for some Saints fans when we were both in League One – I think a lot of Saints fans felt that shock I experienced on my first day working at the Bournemouth Echo that a lot of Bournemouth fans really hate us. I suspect a few more fans' fondness has also waned since the promotion, particularly for those of us active on social media. My instinct is that a majority of Saints fans are indifferent or hold Bournemouth with a degree of fondness. If we are to remain in the same league for years to come I'm sure the rivalry will increase.'
ah 'I'm not sure it has, not yet anyway. I still think the general feeling from most of my mates and people in my office is that we still want them to do well. Perhaps I know a lot of nice people but I don't think we quite believe they will stick around for any length of time to be classified as rivals and I'm sure the more realistic Bournemouth fans will think the same. What Eddie and the team have done is pretty incredible so personally I wish them all the best… for now! I'm more concerned about our own future (keeping Ronald, Fraser, what happens to Pelle/Vic etc) than worrying about them.'
sb 'As I have just said it is like watching a younger sibling grow up. I think if they become more successful, there will be a change in the way we view them. If they ever finish above us in the league (and God i hope it never happens) then that will change everything.'
km 'Not really, for the most part I've been oblivious to their season as I've been concentrating on ours. That said i want them to stay up as it'd be good for the south coast and a nice break to the general Premier League status quo.'
ab 'I think it's changed a little bit. It's easier to have a soft spot for clubs in different divisions, but when those clubs become competitors, it changes the dynamic. I also things Saints quick rise up the leagues has somewhat been overshadowed by Bournemouth's remarkable story. Are they stealing Saints limelight?'
How do you feel about people from Dorset (especially Bournemouth) who support Saints?
cp 'For years, Southampton have been the more successful team in the area and have naturally attracted a lot of glory hunters from the Bournemouth area. And a lot of people are very aggrieved by that. I, personally, quite liked the fact that I supported my local team and was prepared to go through the grief and heartache that brought, rather than go the easy route and support the big team down the road. Many times I'd be stood on the platform at Poole or Dorchester station, waiting for trains to various League 1/2 fixtures to join about 200 others, while the blokes stood next to me in shirts that looked like deckchairs were off to some swanky Prem fixture in That Lundin. I felt like I was the proper fan, one of the few hardy souls, and they were just Premier League customers, a few out of thousands of faceless others.
After recent events, I'm currently revising that theory.'
pb 'The only reason I can see for a person in Bournemouth or the wider Dorset area travelling up to St. Mary's to watch football is that they can't get a ticket at Dean Court. Some will have family roots that have always been with the Saints so fair enough to them, but the Cherries are after attracting as many new fans as they can and being the only Dorset club in the Premier League there is a fair chance that the fan base will grow in the next few seasons with the promised ground improvements at Dean Court.'
Why do Bournemouth and Pompey fans love each other so much? A mutual hatred of Saints?
cp 'One of the funniest things at a game is when supporters of both sides join in together, to sing about a team that aren't anything to do with that game. Bizarre. I think a lot of Pompey and Bournemouth fans think they have found kindred spirits through a mutual dislike of Saints, but there are a lot of Bournemouth fans I know who have a distinct dislike of Pompey as well. Of course, when we played them in the FA Cup a few weeks ago, they were at great pains to point out that it "wasn't a derby" as were we.
Whatever it was, we won (just). So ner.'
pb 'Absolutely. In the recent game against Pompey there was much mutual singing aimed at the Saints and while Bournemouth is not a port, we know why Pompey hate the Saints so much which harks back to the Southampton dockers carrying on working past the picket lines when the dockers in Portsmouth went on strike in the 1950's. Pompey have good reason to hate the Saints, while AFCB fans are working on it.'
Editor's comment 'The dockers strike is a total myth, perpetuated by so many Pompey fans over the years it even gets mentioned in recent books about their club. There is no record of it. Ironically, when the Southampton dockers went on strike in the 1890's, it was workers from Portsmouth that were brought in to do their jobs.'
Why aren't Bournemouth fans grateful that Saints played fund raising games for them? They owe us right?
smm 'I don't think they owe us anything but now that we know how much they 'love us' they can kiss goodbye to any future bucket collections if it all goes belly up when the Russian leaves.'
ah 'Football rarely works on that logic does it? If there is a local neighbour to hate then you're going to hate them regardless of what they've done. Not that it'd ever happen, but if we were to help out P*mp*y with their situation, would that stop them hating us? No. I'm sure there are a lot of reasonable Bournemouth fans who will be slightly thankful for what we did but let's be honest, it was one game and won't ever come into any sort of emotional or rational reasoning.'
sb '100% yes. As a token of their appreciation they should have refused the Lallana money.'
km 'Not sure they owe us anything and I'm also not sure why (or if) they're ungrateful either. I did actually go to one of those friendlies and don't remember there being any animosity at all, in fact the first time I was ever aware that there was even a consideration of it being a derby was when I was well into my late twenties and a Cherry said that we were "Scummers" after I wished him luck in their in promotion battle at the time.
That confused the hell out of me to be honest and I think I actually laughed when he said it as I didn't think he was being serious, which probably annoyed him more!'
cp 'The fact that it gets brought up at every possible opportunity makes it all a bit sour. A lot of Saints fans have been overly condescending about this over the years and it was very kind, yes, and it helped, yes, thank you very much, but Saints didn't save us and it wasn't what ensured our existence as many like to claim.'
pb 'I don't think AFC Bournemouth fans were ungrateful but they have some pride and whoever wants to be in a position to need a handout? I actually felt sorry for Southampton when they fell on hard times. I don't think any fan wants to see any club in financial trouble.'
at 'It was definitely a nice gesture on Saints part, and I'm sure if it was the other way round, Bournemouth would've done the same!'
I've found something we can truly fall out about. Harry Redknapp is a c**t. Discuss.
smm 'Without doubt. They love that saggy faced fraudster in these parts – it's vomit inducing. In fact, at my son's football presentation evening last year, I did vomit in my mouth when 'Arry was the guest of honour and walked past me and touched my arm. Bleuurgggghhhhh.'
ah 'Yes, most definitely but I'd rather not waste my energy on him. My friend once described him as having a face like a mixed grill. I think that's all I want to say on the matter.'
sb 'The guy is a massive knob. Would love to have a beer with him though!' Editor's comment 'Why? Would definitely be a round dodger.'
km 'Now that statement can't be denied by anyone, even the Skates must admit that!'
cp 'I can't hate Harry. I'm sorry, I just can't. I'm not as fond of him as I used to be but I wouldn't go that far. For years, he was our most successful manager. Obviously, this has all been well & truly surpassed now. By someone with much better hair. And my Harry Redknapp impression has gone down a storm at work over the years. You wouldn't have to ask too many Bournemouth fans before you found one to agree with you, though.'
pb 'Yeah, you got me. Harry Redknapp will always be highly regarded around AFC Bournemouth as he was the manager to put us on the map in recent times before the boy genius Eddie Howe arrived. Harry did okay as a player for us as well. I suppose it is becoming harder for any manager to move from one club to another and always leave with his head held high and at least we might be able to agree that Harry loves the south, even if West Ham is probably his biggest love after Sandra!'
at 'He's certainly a character! I mean I don't personally hate him, how could I after all he did for Bournemouth? Although, saying that, his increased involvement with the club does rather coincide with them being promoted to the Premier League.'
How do you see the game going? Score prediction?
smm 'History and form says we should win – but Bournemouth are due a result against us at some point and it's most likely to be at their place – but I'll still go for a 2-1 win to us.'
ah 'It will be a cracking atmosphere and I'm sure it will descend into a usual derby in terms of lots of intensity and flying tackles in the first 20 minutes. If we can ride out the initial period and get our foot on the ball I'm sure that our midfield will work their way into the game and unpick their defence. I've heard several times about how slow their CBs are so whilst we don't have bundles of pace, we'll get a few chances and hopefully stick one or two away. I'll opt for a 0-2 scoreline to help our push for that 5th spot.'
sb '2-1 Saints…. they will break the clean sheet duck.'
km 'It's going to be very close and very tight, I think a lot depends on the Chelsea game for us. If we pick up a result there I can see us winning it 1-0 or something similar, if we fall away after that game I think it'll be 1-1 or 2-1 to the Cherries.'
cp 'You'll win. You always do. I'm sure it's written in some bylaw somewhere. I don't allow myself to get over-excited as I just get more let down. Happens every time. I'll go 0-2 and hope that my reverse psychology will win the day.'
pb 'That's easy. The Cherries start confidently and look like world beaters only for Southampton to score from two set pieces and a breakaway to ruin our day again! 1-3 to those delightful chaps down the road. Obviously, I hope I am entirely wrong. Isn't it about time that the Saints let us win a game to ensure there is a couple of south coast derby matches next season? You don't need the points and playing in Europe is overrated – look what happened to you last time. Oops, I fear the rivalry is building.'
at 'Bournemouth's home form isn't great at the moment, losing 3 out of the last 4, and Saints don't look like they'll concede anytime soon. Think Saints will win and keep a clean sheet. 0-2.'
So there we have it, the 'Not a Derby Derby' heat's up, or rather doesn't really. Thanks to everyone who answered questions!

What the hell have you done to that..... oh good god look at that!
I love bugs!
THIS!!!!!! This is evolution. All the "if we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys" reject arguments. I want some creationist to explain the nuance of every detail of this critter in any form that isn't an evolved species to fool predators (and prey) into thinking that it is nothing more than a leaf. Just amazing.
I suppose a deity could have created it, but why? The only palatable reason I can think of for this insect to exist is that it evolved this way. For anyone to say, I don't know... what would a creationist say about this? That we shouldn't question God's ways? That they were made to test people's faith? If that's why, then my faith fails the test.
On the other hand, the fact that, as I believe, all life is shaped by the process of evolution by natural selection is fantastic almost beyond words. I am humbled by these insects. That each and every one of their ancestors since the beginning of life survived and contributed to their DNA and its manifestation as superbly leaf-like beings somehow makes me feel good about existing in a way no church, preacher or holy book ever has.
If I somehow seem over-exuberant about these small creatures, please indulge me a bit. I just finished a five-mile walk during which I saw bees pollinating the flowers which will produce the raspberries and blackberries I will be picking in mid-July. As I watched them I thought of Darwin's much-quoted passage in On the Origin of Species in which he contemplates the existence and history of all of the life forms in any random patch of nature, such as a rural roadside embankment.
Who needs a god when we've got bees, berries, and leaf-insects?
@Diane - So well said. Bravo. :D
this is what Dawkins (and perhaps many others) calls an "arms race"; the prey evolves to be better concealed, the predator gets better visual apparatus and gray matter firmware to process the images looking for the prey.
This is also why trees are so tall in spite of the fact that if everything were 1 foot tall they'd be able to capture the same delicious photons... for less cost! But if your neighbor plant is just a little bit taller than you are, you are at a disadvantage, so evolution favors taller and taller trees.
If one insists that god did make this species, one has to decide whose side god is on: the prey or the predator?
I'm glad to see you got that out of your salad before you ate it!

ZANESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Townspeople cowered indoors Wednesday as deputies with high-powered rifles hunted down and killed lions, bears and dozens of other exotic beasts that escaped from a wild-animal preserve after the owner threw their cages open and committed suicide.
After an all-night hunt, at least 30 of the 48 escaped animals had been gunned down. As of mid-morning, officers were still hunting for a grizzly bear, mountain lion and monkey.
Schools closed, parents were warned to keep children and pets indoors and flashing signs along highways told motorists, "Caution exotic animals" and "Stay in vehicle."
"It's like Noah's ark, like, wrecking right here in Zanesville, Ohio," said Jack Hanna, former director of the Columbus Zoo. "Noah's ark filled with tigers and lions and all leopards and a few monkeys and whatever, and it crashes here and all of a sudden they're out there."
Neighbor Danielle White, whose father's property abuts the Muskingum County Animal Farm, said she didn't see loose animals this time but did in 2006, when a lion escaped.
"It's always been a fear of mine knowing (the owner) had all those animals," she said. "I have kids. I've heard a male lion roar all night."
Officers in the mostly rural area about 55 miles east of Columbus were under orders to shoot to kill for fear that animals hit with tranquilizer darts would run off and hide in the darkness.
The owner of the preserve, Terry Thompson, left the cages open and the fences unsecured, releasing dozens of animals, including lions, tigers, bears and wolves, before committing suicide, said Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz.
Authorities would not say how he killed himself and no suicide note was found. Lutz wouldn't speculate on why he committed suicide. But Thompson had had repeated run-ins with the law, and Lutz said the sheriff's office had received numerous complaints since 2004 about animals at the property.
"This is a bad situation," the sheriff said. "It's been a situation for a long time."
Hanna said that of the three animals believed to be unaccounted for, he was most concerned about the mountain lion, because of its impressive leaping ability. He said anyone confronting these animals should not run, because they will give chase.
Hanna defended the sheriff against criticism that the animals should have been captured alive.
"What was he to do at nighttime with tigers and lions, leopards, going out there?" Hanna said. "In the wild this would be a different situation."
The preserve in Zanesville had lions, tigers, cheetahs, wolves, giraffes, camels and bears. Lutz called the animals "mature, very big, aggressive" but said a caretaker told authorities they had been fed on Monday.
Zoo owner sets exotic animals free, kills himself
ZANESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Townspeople cowered indoors Wednesday as deputies with high-powered rifles hunted down and killed lions, bears and dozens of other exotic beasts that escaped from a wild-animal preserve after the owner threw their cages open and committed suicide.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Class of Blacks Subjected to Noose Display and Racial Slurs, Federal Agency Charged
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Ready Mix USA, a major cement and concrete products company, will pay $400,000 and furnish other relief to settle a lawsuit for racial harassment filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC charged in its lawsuit that a class of African American males at Ready Mix's Montgomery-area facilities was subjected to a racially hostile work environment. The EEOC said that a noose was displayed in the worksite, that derogatory racial language, including references to the Ku Klux Klan, was used by a direct supervisor and manager and that race-based name calling occurred. Ready Mix denies that racial harassment occurred at its worksites.
Racial discrimination and harassment violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit against Ready Mix USA LLC, doing business as Couch Ready Mix USA LLC (EEOC v. Ready Mix USA 2:09-CV-923) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
The consent decree settling the suit provides that Ready Mix will pay a total of $400,000 in compensatory damages to be apportioned among the seven class members. Each party will bear its own litigation costs and attorneys' fees. The two-year decree enjoins Ready Mix from engaging in further racial harassment or retaliation and requires that the company conduct EEO training. Ready Mix will be required to modify its policies to ensure that racial harassment is prohibited and a system for investigation of complaints is in place. The company must also report certain complaints of harassment or retaliation to the EEOC for monitoring.
"Employees have a right to expect that harassment based on race will be kept out of the workplace," said Delner Franklin-Thomas, district director for the EEOC Birmingham District. "This case involved not only racist language, but a noose, a threatening symbol of cruelty that has no place in any American workplace."
EEOC Birmingham District Regional Attorney C. Emanuel Smith said, "We are pleased that Ready Mix has taken these steps to address this very alarming situation and improve its work environment. We encourage all employers to help make workplace race discrimination a thing of the past."
According to company information, Ready Mix provides cement and concrete products to construction projects in industrial, commercial, residential and municipal projects.
In Fiscal Year 2011, the EEOC received 35,395 charges alleging race-based discrimination and 8776 of those alleged race-based harassment. Historically, race-based charges account for more than 35% of all charge filings nationwide.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the Commission is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

The 1st Battalion, 5th Marines is the adopted U.S. Marine Corps unit of Costa Mesa. "Patrol Base Jaker" is a documentary of the deployment of the 1/5 to Afghanistan in 2009-10.
These films usually center on combat operations. But this one zeros in on the vital aftermath of combat: helping the local population to build a secure life.
This film pulls no punches in presenting the complaints of the villagers. The Marines have pushed out the Taliban fighters who took over the area, but severe challenges remain. They must keep the Taliban from returning while assisting the locals in the daunting task of rebuilding their own institutions and security forces.
Lt. Col. Bill McCullough is the Marine Corps' face of the effort. He presents a thoughtful and intelligent approach to gain the confidence of the elders and get the job done.
To see on screen the progress made in the people's lives in less than a year is remarkable. We can only hope they can sustain the effort when these outstanding Marines are gone.
I attended a special screening of the film at Triangle Square to benefit a charitable support group of the unit. The movie will be released to the general public in early 2012.
Banderas in two very different roles
I saw two movies starring Antonio Banderas that could not be more different.
"Puss in Boots" is a charming spinoff from the "Shrek" movies featuring a vain, Zorro-type adventurer who happens to be a cat. Beautifully animated, it features the voice of Banderas as the smooth-talking Latin lover in his quest for (what else?) magic beans.
There's enough good fun here to please kids and grown ups alike. Salma Hayek makes a feisty foil for Puss as the seductive Kitty Softpaws. Zach Galifianakis' Humpty Dumpty is the best written and drawn character.
Long before he got his fancy footwear, Puss and his cracked little friend were like brothers but then became enemies. Can a handful of beans amount to more than a friendship?
This "Puss" may not have nine lives, but I wouldn't hiss at a sequel.
Banderas plays another delusional, but more sinister Spaniard in "The Skin I Live In." This creepy film from Pedro Almodóvar could be best described as a psychological thriller. Think "Frankenstein" mixed with "Vertigo."
Banderas plays Dr. Robert Ledgard, a plastic surgeon obsessed with his mysterious patient Vera (Elena Anaya). Like a precious doll, Vera is always on display behind her glass-walled room (or is it a prison) for Robert to gaze at. He makes no romantic advances, yet it's clear Vera wants more out of life and their relationship.
This film is quite complicated; perverse, yet elegant. Banderas' character is as mad as the story, and he plays it with delicate finesse — you never know exactly what he's thinking or his motives.
"The Skin I Live In" proved to be a fitting choice for Halloween night. I am still trying to wrap my head around this seductive house of mirrors.

If you are looking for accounting scholarships you may be overwhelmed by the amount of information that is available alongside the actual number of organizations that can help aid your study. A career in accounting can offer you diversity and versatility from your career, opening up a great deal of possibilities. However, an accounting degree is expensive, which is where scholarships come into the question. There are thousands available and this article will list a few to demonstrate the different kinds of requirements and processes that must be adhered to in order apply. This will show how different scholarships work differently.
The NSA Scholarship Fund
This scholarship offers thousands of dollars a year to students. In 2014, $34,450 was split between 33 different applicants. However, to apply for this scholarship the candidate must be on a two or four year course and be averaging a grade B or higher. The organization assesses candidates on a number of different areas, such as leadership capabilities and the financial needs of the student.
KSPCA High School Merit Scholarships
This example shows how there are scholarships programs that are primarily aimed at certain geographical locations. To apply for this fund you must be living in Kansas and be planning to attend further education here as well. Whereas it is common for financial need to be considered, in this case it is not taken into account. This support is also intended for high school seniors who are going to be majoring in accounting in Kansas. As you can see, the criteria of this fund are very limiting, showing that you must always check what requirements are being looked at.
Frank L. Greathouse Government Accounting Scholarship
This fund awards $5,000 every year to both undergraduate and graduate students. However, this scholarship takes into account your future plans, as you must be planning to head into finance within your local government or the state. This demonstrates that what you are hoping to achieve in the future can also be taken into account.
Alongside this, you must also have a letter of recommendation from an academic advisor, showing that someone must state your worthiness for the award.read more related information and other helpful tips at rankonlineaccountingdegrees.com
Catching the Dream MESBEC Program
This financial support is awarded to Native Americans, demonstrating the diversity that is available within the scholarships on offer. You must be a Native American studying at a school accredited at state, federal or tribunal level. The fund is geared towards those pursuing careers in academic studies, such as maths, science or business for example.
Hopefully this list has shown you how to receive financial support, you really have to do your research, see what is available to you, and start applying as soon as possible. The most important thing however is definitely to check the requirements needed for the given support, as these will determine what you apply for. There are so many accounting scholarships available, you just have to do your research and see which ones you qualify for and study accounting.

Approximately one year has passed since the Marked One's story. You are the military Lieutenant Priboi Slipchenko, and you were sent into the Zone... There was a secret organization, called UHSF, and they were responsible for the incident. They had a base at Dead City but the mercenaries wiped them out in the late 80's. The organization fell apart, and the last living members disappeared until today. Somehow this story is connected to the Marked One's story, and you'll eventually find out how. Over 20 important classified documents were hidden in the zone and you will need to find them to complete the puzzle. You will need to be "Sherlock Holmes" and dig deeper in the zone then you have ever done before. This is a re-release of the popular Priboi Story modification released in later January

Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Kate White takes life as seriously as we would if we edited the magazine. For one, she got started in the industry by winning an essay contest in Glamour, and responded to a question about "goals" by admitting she had none, and used her job as an excuse to ask a local anchorman she liked on a date (The story: "Eligible Bachelors". The man: Her now-husband). Cosmopolitan isn't even her full-time job; she also writes pretty popular mystery novels about a tabloid reporting detective named "Bailey Wiggins" that sound totally cheesy. And judging from a few interviews with her we came across today, we get the sense that Kate White went to the USA Network mystery show school of how to be simultaneously idiotic and intriguing. Some gems:
"Drain the swamp to kill the alligators"
"I eavesdrop constantly in elevators and restaurants."
"Don't believe everything you think about yourself"
"Remember good girls go to heaven ... bad girls go everywhere."
"Brunch should be abolished." (We're just adding that because we agree.)
"Total understanding is not possible."
And finally:
I was walking down a street in the east 90's and I saw two young Hispanic guys tugging at the shopping bag of an older woman. Assuming she was being mugged, I ran across the street yelling for them to stop. But then the two guys turned around and they were both wearing aprons—they worked at a nearby supermarket. And they said she had shoplifted from their store and they had chased her out to get the stuff back. I was fascinated by the optical illusion. I used it in my latest mystery.
See, where we would spend the rest of the day feeling racist and guilty, Kate White sees "optical illusion." Now, if she could just solve the mystery of what the hell "reverse cowgirl" means...

Value Added After the Deal
Fund: Kepha Partners
Posted by cereal on 2008-01-17
Jo fought hard to get into our first round. It takes moxie and pull to get a first round completed through a big partnership, and you can't be afraid of first stage risks, of which there are plenty. You have to walk the walk. Jo actually rushed from behind, in terms of due diligence, and he impressed me with his ethics, risk tolerance, connections, and zeal. That was when Jo was with Highland.
When he mentioned starting Kepha, I applauded him since I think Boston desparately needs some smaller funds, which can move more aggressively to grab very early/exciting deals. And Jo can do early stage well.
After his investment was completed in my company (a few years ago), we started to see an amazing amount of value at the board level. I thought he would be helpful, but I frankly underestimated the degree. Jo's personal contribution was critical in helping us recruit other board members, find and hire key executives, help me push for measured growth at the board level, help us land more rounds with more top-tier firms, and perhaps most impressive: my company is still using sales leads which were derived from leads he gave us years ago! Those are things he did for us pretty much solo, by himself.
I highly recommend that all entrepreneur CEO's reference check your prospective funders. You are going to be married to your VC's for a while. The feedback I got for Jo was excellent, and painted the picture of a very different kind of VC. He will work very hard for you, and he won't give up. He has also seen things gone very wrong, as all experienced early stagers have also, and he is known for fair and often generous problem resolutions. That is important to me. Things will go wrong. Finally, he is known for not doing anything rash. I value that too. All that feedback resonates with my personal experiences with him.
Finally, Jo is known for supporting people over several companies, and over many years. He can be a powerful booster for you out there on your next deal, even if he doesn't invest in your last one.
He has a big fan club. Ask around. You can't miss them. That says a lot right there.PRIVATE: Members Only (1628 Characters)

Forging A Wednesday Night Tradition By Mamie Ward, Miami Herald
In South Beach, where most clubs struggle to keep the attention of the in crowd for one season, it's hard to imagine a weekday theme party surviving for more than a few weeks. But, at the Forge, the mix of elegant dining, black-tie service, fine wines, good music and changing themes has kept people coming Wednesday nights for the past 11 years.
The Miami Beach restaurant-slash-nightclub originally was opened by Al Malnik in 1969, but in 1991, his son Shareef took over, hoping to make the place a haven for hipsters and celebrities. A couple of years later, the Wednesday night theme party was born.
"I needed to do something to re-invent the place and something to make the change stick," he said, toasting the party's longevity last month at the anniversary party sponsored by Ocean Drive magazine. "I decided to throw [the party] on an off night."
Malnik gets together with a team of people at the Forge each week to come up with themes for the Wednesday parties. Since the theme changes every week, they try to plan anywhere from a week to a month in advance. Memorable nights have included the time the dining area became center stage for a Jungle Party with tigers, pythons and an ape on display; a Salute to the Troops night honoring the armed services; a winter wonderland with artificial snow decorating the floors, white satin curtains and people dressed in white; and a beach party with sand, palm trees and 65 Miami Beach life guards dressed for a day at work.
Since this week's party fell during the holidays, the club planned a simple New Year's Eve theme. Next Wednesday will celebrate a birthday and the following week, Malnik is planning a pajama party in which beds will be brought into the restaurant and patrons will come wearing nighties. To compete with the raciness of other South Beach nightclubs, Malnik said he has been known to push the limits.
We put a runway down the center of the restaurant to host a La Perla fashion show and had models walking around in beautiful lingerie," he said.
Malnik recalled one night in the mid-'90s, two or three years into the Wednesday parties, when he saw cars lining 41st Street and celebrity guests in his place as the moment he knew his reinvention of the Forge could hold its own.
"I looked around and all on the same Wednesday night, Madonna, Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman and Wayne Gretzky were all inside having dinner throughout the party. It was so bizarre."
The recent anniversary celebration was no exception as Derek Jeter casually dined at a corner table with a group of friends. Other big names seen in recent weeks include Sen. Hillary Clinton and boxer Lennox Lewis.
But don't think you need to be on the A-list to attend this party. Promoter Antonio Misuraca, who also does parties for B.E.D. and Prive, said the Forge is a place for everyone and it's his job to make it that way.
"I cater to everyone and treat them with respect," he said.
Malnik echoed his comments. "We have décor, lighting, sounds and theme productions, but what really makes it come alive is the people."

The stage has been set to begin construction of UW Bothell's new Science and Academic Building (UWB 3) and the new plaza. Over the weekend of August 4-5, workers removed trees and vegetation from the knoll in the center of the campus and the uphill construction site. Some wood from the trees will be reused as benches and art installations around campus. In a few short years, the space will be transformed into an open air plaza and a state-of-the-art academic hub.
"We have been thoughtful about reducing the impact of the project," says Tony Guerrero, assistant vice chancellor for facilities services. "For example, the campus currently plants more than 3,000 trees per year."
Learn more about sustainability practices at UW Bothell.
The popular flower-sculpted "W" will be removed, but it will be restored once construction is over.
"This is an exciting time of growth for the UW Bothell campus," says Chancellor Kenyon Chan. "This new building will enable us to help meet a critical need in the state of Washington by educating 1,000 additional students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics." Construction of the building will also generate 1,500 construction-related jobs.
Planning for UWB 3 has also allowed the UW Bothell campus to position itself for its long-term future. Unlike the existing buildings, UWB 3 will have an east-west orientation, which future buildings will follow. Changing the building orientation allows engineers to use sunlight and shade to heat and cool the building. It also assists with ADA compliance.
UW Bothell is experiencing unprecedented growth. Or, visit the campus building projects page to see current photos from all ongoing projects.

MIAMI (AP) — Officials at Florida International University say two students have been arrested for allegedly stealing exams to sell to other students.
In a statement issued late Monday, officials said FIU police had arrested two current students and a third person on charges that include dealing in stolen property and theft and burglary.
Officials say "one class in the current semester is impacted with a limited number of students involved."
No further details about the arrests or the exams were released, and an FIU spokeswoman had no additional information early Tuesday.
Officials said the investigation continues, and all "pertinent policies and procedures" would be reviewed.

In terms of varsity softball experience, the Germantown Friends School Tigers were at a significant disadvantage when they faced defending champ Abington Friends in their Friend Schools League season opener last Friday afternoon.
Host GFS, which only had two seniors in the starting line-up after graduating eight players from its 2010 squad, suffered a six-inning, 13-0 setback against the Kangaroos, who started five seniors, including their pitcher and catcher.
Abington, which had opened its league campaign a day earlier against Friends Select, improved to 2-0 in the FSL and 4-2 overall. GFS came into the game with a split in a pair of non-league bouts, beating Barrack Hebrew Academy and losing to Baldwin School.
Abington fielded a veteran battery consisting of catcher Maria Savarese, a Moravian College recruit, and pitcher Kelsey Clark (1H, 9K, 0W). Throwing to GFS freshman catcher Rachel Allison were senior starter Anita Thachet (8H, 2K, 3BB), who went five innings, and sophomore Erica Heinz (3H, 0K, 3BB), who started the game in left field and then moved to the mound for the sixth frame.
Thachet is headed for the University of Pittsburgh next year while the team's other senior starter, shortstop Jenna Goldstein, plans to stay local at Penn. Their classmate Sabrina Ruchelli, who subbed in late in the game on Friday, has selected the University of Delaware as her college destination.
In addition to Goldstein, Thachet, Heinz and Allison, the starters for the Tigers last Friday were juniors Allison David (centerfield), Lauren Kelly (right field), Melanie Mason (second base), and Reem RosenHaj (first base), and freshman Maddie Andrews (third base). Isabelle Linguiti, a sophomore, was Germantown's designated player and lead-off batter.
The Tigers contained the Kangaroos in the first inning, when both teams went down in order at the plate. The visitors got on the board in the second stanza, as Savarese led off with a home run over the fence in left field.
In the top of the third Abington not only churned out five hits and drew a pair of walks, but also picked up additional bases by running aggressively and taking advantage of some indecision on the part of the Germantown fielders. The big blow was a two-run double to right center by senior first baseman Christina Furlong, the number five hitter, and in all the 'Roos scored six times to lead the game, 7-0.
GFS limited its guest to four batters in the top of the fourth, and in the bottom of the inning the Tigers put a player on base for the first (and only) time in the contest. With two outs, Allison singled to left field, but she got no farther as a ground-out retired the side.
The game proceeded into the sixth inning with the score still 7-0. Here Abington erupted once more for six runs to make it 13-0, and after three straight outs by GFS in the bottom half, the ten-run mercy rule brought the encounter to its conclusion.
