'Selections from the Permanent Collection" has two more weeks to go at Amarillo Museum of Art, 2200 S. Van Buren St. It's time for an assessment - not just of the esthetics of individual pieces, but of how they reflect on one another and whether they've been displayed well.
Older paintings are in the smaller of the two third-floor rooms. There's a sequence of three 18th century pastoral play pieces and a trio of waterscapes: two 18th century Venetian scenes by Freancesco Guardi and a 19th century seascape. The Guardis have particular interest for their blending of soft tones among little flecks of light. The pastorals are nicely painted bits of fluff to please the tastes of the fluffy clientele of the times.
In the same room Jiri Anderle's 20th-century dry point mezzotint print "Leonardo and Isabella d'Este" offers a striking contrast; it smolders with the psychological drama of attraction. Its only emotional counterpart in the room is Salvador Dali's small bronze "Don Quixote," which also is rife with ambiguity.
Various other works in this space are quite nice by themselves, but for effective groupings I'll move on to the larger upstairs room.
Georgia O'Keeffe's "Train at Night in the Desert" hangs between two of her husband Alfred Stieglitz's early 20th-century photogravures. Their personal relationship is what pulls these three works together. The two photos are both splendidly low-toned urban explorations, prime examples of what Stieglitz showcased in his Camera Work magazine.
For me the O'Keeffe connects in an interesting way with Louise Nevelson's "Golden Odyssey" assemblage diagonally across from it. They connect with their curves - which may be a matter of feminine inclinations - but in the Nevelson, some of the softer, more organic forms seem challenged by the rigor of the packing-crate slats' geometry.
Opposite the Nevelson is a wall section making a major statement about the power of black-and-white photography. Two expansive southwestern landscapes by David Gibson flank Paul Camponigro's more intimate river scene; all three glow with resonant tonal relationships, with the center piece having a particularly intense radiance.
The expressive excellence of the silver gelatin photo medium is extended further in side-by-side images by Bernice Abbot and Walker Evans. Abbott's elevated view of Manhattan skyscrapers at night excels in velvety soft blacks. Evans' rows of dark cars become magical in the rain-enhanced radiance of their Saratoga, N.Y., street.
Robert Stackhouse's lithographic print "Adrift" has a powerful presence that only relates to itself. The looming ambiguity of its image is strangely compelling to many.
In contrast, Southwestern scenery appears in clarity in Michael Frary's watercolor, flanked by Roi Partridge etchings. Frary's bright, uplifting image is quietly exuberant; Partridges's prints deftly balance dark inks and space.
The effect of the two John Marin watercolors hanging side by side is to clearly indicate how much more dynamic Marin's style became in his later, cubist-influenced work.
Kate Krasin's serigraph print interacts effectively with two Jane Wilson oil sketches. Visual energy is visual energy, whether it appears in naturalistic forms and light, or in vigorously gesticulative strokes and skeins of paint.
Roger Shimomura's two small, color lithographs whisper to one another of social outrage.
There are other works that appear more individually, most of which merit attention for you to decide yourself. But also think of museum-viewing as an opportunity for exploring relationships.

The ferry lost power with hundreds of passengers and cars aboard and began drifting July 29 on its way from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. It was eventually taken under tow and is still being assessed at a maintenance facility in Bainbridge Island's Eagle Harbor.
The interim director of Washington State Ferries told The Kitsap Sun the problem with the Tacoma is believed to be a switchboard that controls the ship's propulsion.
He says it could take a few more weeks before they get a repair plan from the manufacturer.
The ferry system has been shuffling vessels around Puget Sound and canceling or delaying runs since the Tacoma was taken out of commission.
The Tacoma broke down at the same time the 202-car Wenatchee was in a Canadian dry dock for repairs. The Wenatchee returned to service on Aug. 1.

A Year is not a Long Time in Banking
When George Osborne, the U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer, set up the Independent Commission on Banking last May, it must have seemed a clever political ruse: the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats had made all sorts of wild pronouncements in opposition about how they would reform the banking sector. Once in coalition and unable to agree a way forward, it seemed to make sense to kick the issue into the long grass by appointing a panel of grandees to spend a year considering the issues.
But as the U.K. waits with bated breath for IBC chairman Sir John Vickers to deliver his interim report on April 11, there is a risk that establishing this commission will turn out to be not only bad politics but worse economics.
In public, Treasury ministers insist they are "looking forward" to receiving Sir John's report and have an "open mind" on the issues. In reality, they are deeply nervous.
Last week, Mr. Osborne delivered his "budget for growth," sticking to his austerity program and insisting there would be no Plan B. But the reality is that there can be no growth without a healthy banking system with the ability to lend. For two years, money supply growth and credit creation have been effectively stagnant. From a macro economic standpoint, the last thing the U.K. needs is costly structural reforms of the banking sector that plunge the industry into years of regulatory uncertainty. The government's entire economic strategy is at stake.
It is unclear what the IBC will recommend. But Mr. Osborne took a gigantic gamble handing responsibility for such a sensitive issue to a committee long on mavericks and short on banking expertise. Worse, by insisting the government take a vow of omerta on banking reform, Mr. Osborne allowed others to fill the policy vacuum by pushing their own radical agendas. Bank of England Governor Mervyn King has called repeatedly for the break-up of the banks and indicated he believes capital ratios should be more than double the Basel III minimum; Financial Services Authority Chairman Adair Turner has declared the entire Basel process a 50-year policy error and lobbied for minimum core Tier 1 ratios well above 10%. The BOE and FSA are pushing hard for high extra capital charges for "Systemically Important Financial Institutions."
The U.K. is increasingly isolated in this global regulatory reform debate. This month, the Federal Reserve gave the green light for the biggest U.S. banks to resume dividends, signaling it believes current core Tier 1 capital ratios of around 8% are adequate. It also said that allowing banks to pay dividends sent an important signal that banks are operating as normal companies again, improving their access to capital.
U.K. banks, which have similar capital ratios, are being told they face at least 10% minimum core Tier 1 capital requirements plus any costs arising from the IBC recommendations. Only Switzerland has taken such a draconian view.
Of course, U.K. and Swiss policy makers may be right to push for such high capital ratios, given the size of their banking sectors relative to GDP. But the Treasury should at least be concerned to see the BOE and FSA so isolated. Regulators in other countries are not complacent or incompetent: indeed, none failed as spectacularly pre-crisis as the BOE and FSA. Instead, other countries are coming to very different conclusions as to where to draw the line between financial stability and growth.
Where to strike this balance is not some dry academic exercise. It is an intensely political question that goes to the heart of the social contract between governments and people. It involves crucial judgments as to who should bear the costs of financial failure between the public and private sector, the young and old, borrowers and savers.
In an economy as over-leveraged as the U.K.'s, these judgments assume an overwhelming significance. There is no magic wand policy makers can wave to make the risks disappear: attempts to make banks safer by forcing them to hold more capital or liquid assets, will simply push the risks into the real economy. Banks unable to earn an economic return on their capital will be under pressure to shrink their balance sheets, restricting the supply of credit.
Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland say they will be accelerating sales of legacy assets including their vast hoards of commercial real estate in response to higher capital requirements. HSBC chairman Douglas Flint warned Tuesday there isn't enough liquidity in the system to maintain lending and meet new Basel rules. While the government congratulates itself on securing largely meaningless gross business lending commitments from the banks under Project Merlin, the real extent of the funding squeeze can be seen in the U.K. mortgage famine which has helped trigger eight consecutive months of falling house prices. A major house market slump this year is perhaps the biggest single risk to the U.K. economic outlook.
Of course, it's easy to point at bank bonuses as evidence of special pleading—as if reducing corporate finance bonuses would somehow improve the economics of mortgage lending. But even some senior BOE officials now acknowledge the risk that the U.K. regulatory onslaught could go too far, that it is too pro-cyclical and may reach a point where, rather than improving financial stability, it puts financial stability at risk. They also worry that some of the recent hawkish rhetoric risks dragging the BOE into treacherous political waters, beyond what is appropriate for a central bank.
Yet the Treasury—the U.K.'s main macro-economic policy-making body—has no official view on any of these issues. It has, however, set up a unit to try to quantify the consequences of all the various financial reforms to date—a sign perhaps that Mr. Osborne is preparing to push back if the IBC proves too radical. If so, he could face a Titanic battle with his Lib-Dem partners.
The commission believes that its role is to settle the bank regulation debate for a generation. Mr. Osborne may have little choice but to sit back and allow one of the most important political decisions facing this government to be taken for him.

Re: rapid re-score shot my score up in 3 working days...

So if you have, say, a mortgage, a car loan, a student loan, and a CC with a 0% balance transfer that will take a while to pay off, that's four accounts with balances.
Ys is is true for my profile.
It says the high FICO achievers have an average of 3 accounts reporting a balance and they count my mortgage and car loan so that leaves me with one CC. I have had 2 CCs report a balance and I know it sounds strange but sometimes is lowers my TU score and somtimes it doesnt
Anyway I would try 2 CCs with a mortgage and autoloan and see how this works. If not then try 1. Experimenting with small balances can really help you see what is going on and will help you when you want to go after a big prize like an auto loan or mortgage/refi since you dont want to be suprised that your score drops from say 720 to 719 when you are going for an auto loan and your CC repots that $20 DVD you just bought at Best Buy.

Seemingly, everyone has already decided the outcome of the Super Bowl.
The Patriots are the assumed favorite, and the slew of contenders cannot seem to match the aura surrounding New England.
They have a swagger symbolizing their flamboyance. They know they are going to win, and they are not afraid to let the other team know.
The Patriots are a team that is immune to skepticism. They cannot be rattled. "Spygate" was a valient effort to unveil a secret to the Patriots success, but instead became a clear indication that New England doesn't need to cheat to win every Sunday. Others have tried to take shots at the morality of their game management, accusing New England and their coaching staff of indecent play, such as running up the score and showing little respect for the inferiority of their opponents.
Someone isn't convinced, though. It's not even about the principle of winning as it is about quieting a storm that has reduced his world to rubble.
His name is Ladanian Tomlinson, and he still remembers walking off of the field last year, after the mockery of the Patriots. He remembers how the Patriots disrespected his team, his organization, and his pride. He can still see the Patriots players lavishly enjoying victory on his home field.
LT isn't about to let it happen again. The Chargers are fresh off a 51-14 stomping of a Detroit team fighting for their playoff lives. At 9-5, the Chargers have won four straight games, and are building the momentum needed to challenge the Patriots.
The reason the Chargers will beat the Patriots in the playoffs is simple: They have proven that when properly motivated, they can beat anyone. The bitter taste left in every San Diego player's mouth from last year is ample motivation. Revenge is an inspiration that allows individuals to do things deemed unhuman.
The Patriots are the obvious pick right now. The Chargers would love nothing more than to smash the hopes of the dynasty, and give the Pats a taste of their own medicine. It will be the indomitable will of the Chargers that will allow them to prevail over the mystique of the Patriots.

Inland Antarctic nunataks typically have simple physically weathered soils and limited ecosystem complexity. In this paper we present quantitative measurements of soil physical and chemical properties at one Antarctic nunatak. We measured pH, grain size, field capacity, soil organic carbon, phosphate, nitrate, ammonium and the cations magnesium, calcium and potassium along two transects. The data obtained indicated that very low levels of nutrients were present/available to biota, and that liquid water was absent, at least from the surface depths of soil, except during periods of active snow melt. Consequently, biological activity is severely limited. We conclude that, due to the climatic and microclimatic conditions at this location, the development of biological communities and soils is maintained in an extremely simple but still apparently stable 'quasi climax' state. Increased soil development and biological complexity can be expected if the contemporary rapid regional warming in the Antarctic Peninsula region continues.

Is there new update for Eventbrite for The Events Calendar?
The plugin broke everything in WP 3.0
Is there new update for Eventbrite for The Events Calendar?
The plugin broke everything in WP 3.0
Here's error output I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_version() in /var/www/zendesk.com/private/wp-content/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.class.php on line 88
which version of php are you running? This look like an error from an older version of php (pre 5.1).
Same here, when activating the "Eventbrite for The Events Calendar" I get blank screens and have to go into the database to disable this plugin.
Ubuntu with WP 3.0.1 and PHP 126.96.36.199
Similar error here:
Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /nfs/c02/h12/mnt/17258/domains/designweekla.org/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.class.php on line 433
I had similar error - which indicated I needed to install curl.
for unbuntu
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
then restart apache and it should be ok (well it worked for me).
Getting exactly the same problem with the latest version of WordPress and the latest version of Events Calendar
Problem is in line 433 of eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.class.php
any updates to this? is this being worked on?
Any update here? I see a lot of questions but zero response. I don't believe that the issue is lack of curl for me - event though that is the error - because it was working before. Can we get some action or at least a statement that it isn't working and you're addressing it? Thanks, it's a great feature when it does work.
Hey All,
I actually fixed this issue. I'm assuming everyone on here is using shared hosting and that's part of the problem. I changed some settings in my php.ini file which corrected it. I will post the fix when I get back to my computer. Help is on the way!!
Any update yet? I got all excited there for a minute.
NOT Broken:
I went ahead and installed this combination on a new site with no other plugins, hosted on a php5 managed server on 1and1. It worked initially, but then I broke it by changing the display name of the "Events" post category to something else. As soon as I changed it back to "Events" it works again. Come buy a ticket to "Spousal Deafness" in Newmarket NH: fotrb.org
One thing that does *not* work is this: I inserted a Title in the Events List Widget of The Events Calendar, and it does not show on the page, but that is an issue with The Events calendar, not the EventBrite plugin.
Still broken for me. Deactivated all plugins except Events Calendar and Eventbrite Integration. Category name is Events.
MstrMndMaven I think you just got lucky. I envy you.
I did find it rather tricky getting the calendar to connect with the EventBrite. After installing the Events Calendar plugin, I did get the new features showing in the New Post dialog: Is this an Event? (O)Yes (O)No - and then I created an event.
Then I installed the Eventbrite plugin, and went back to the post, and there was a choice to 'push' the event to Eventbrite, which I did, but it still didn't seem to work. I poked around a bit until I found I needed to (CRITICAL STEP) get my API code from Eventbrite and insert it in the bottom of my admin user profile. Then things seemed to be hooked up, and I created a ticket in Events Calendar. (PS: I can create Eventbrite tickets ONLY from the admin user acount, because it is associated with the API. If I try to create an event from my "Editor" user account, it does not work.)
I went to EventBrite.com and found that the event was not there, saying "no tickets have been set up" even though I had set one up in WordPress. I went ahead and created the identical ticket at Eventbrite.com, and bingo, it shows up in the post view.
Convoluted, I know. I have had to repeat this roundabout for the second event, but ultimately it sells tickets directly out of WordPress as advertised.
Yes, indeed there are a bunch of steps and gotchas, but I too had it running as expected until it stopped with the curl error quoted by the other users above. I think that jaboutboul might have the answer, but he is not posting it as promised:-(
I would not be surprised if you ran into it eventually, but I hope you don't! It seems to be related to shared hosting. Oh well, I'm integrating everything manually with Eventbrite and this is not very difficult.
It seems that the distinguishing factor may be that we are on a dedicated managed server, but we are running vanilla Linux, Apache, MySQL/5 and PHP/5 (as CGI) with no special features. I will leave it up to those who really understand shared hosting to sort out the conflict.
Now, if we can just figure out how to get people interested in *buying* the tickets... :-)
Are people here using 3.1? I see that plugin doesn't officially support it, but it would be great if it works.
I'm having errors with both having a newly created WordPress post create an event with Eventbrite and with WordPress retrieving the information from Eventbrite about an event created on there. I'm assuming that the plugin is just broke and not being worked on or addressed (since the author's last post about it was 10 months ago about the Eventbrite API key issue [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar-eb-for-tec-requires-some-rewriting?replies=1]).
We're on a dedicated server, have WordPress 3.1.3 installed, are using PHP 5.3 and have the API key saved under the administration user profile. It's simply not inputting or outputting the necessary information that's needed - they're not talking.
If this free plugin is unfortunately not being supported or addressed it should be taken off the WordPress Plugin list. It's misleading. It seems that the developers are currently working on the paid version (Events Ticket Pro [http://support.makedesignnotwar.com/discussion/466/event-tickets-pro-private-beta/#Item_16]), which isn't out yet; the free version will most likely come a lot later then, if at all.
so does the eventbrite plugin not work with wordpress 3.1.3 at all?
is it being worked on?
Tried installing this on my offline wamp server. PHP 5.3.5. Killed the site immediately.
Really great that Eventbrite drives traffic to a plugin that doesn't work.
If you're using wamp/xampp just locate your php.ini file and uncomment out extension=php_curl.dll
worked for me.

As the topic, why for all open interval in $\mathbb{R^1}$ it must contains both rationals and irrationals numbers, exist any prove?
This must be proved in two stages. First, given an open interval $(a,b)$, we must show that it contains some rational number $q$, then we must show that it contains some irrational number $r$.
@AsinglePANCAKE's answer already has a link to the first stage. So consider this done. That is, there is $q\in{\Bbb Q\cap(a,b)}$. Now, if $b\in{\Bbb Q}$, then let $r=q+(b-q)/\sqrt 2$, which is both irrational and inside $(a,b)$. Alternatively, if $b$ is irrational, then let $r=(q+b)/2$, which is irrational and inside $(a,b)$.
So we always have rational $q$ and irrational $r$ inside $(a,b)$.

America the beautiful obviously plays home to a lot of girls who know how to give great hand jobs, as especially evidenced by this amateur production. Seven dexterous and incredibly cute ladies deliver entertaining crank-yankings, and many of the women even add some extra flair to the time-honored tradition.
Carmen uses her breast milk as lube for her assigned cock, and Scout doles out a jacking to her beau while in a moving car.

text: [Cc'd to sbcl-devel for information's sake and possible style comments] Looking through the x86-64 tree (great work, btw!) and comparing it with my unchecked-in alpha64 tree, I thought I'd point out one issue that caused me a bit of head-scratching (and that I don't think you've encountered yet). The problem arose when I decided to make the alpha64 address space genuinely 64-bit. Things were running fine before that and then started crashing when I made the change (where "fine" was just getting to cold-init). I traced the problem to some ill-conceived (SETF SAP-REF-32)'s in src/code/{cold-init,target-unithread}.lisp (there may be others, especially in the debugging code, but I think you've caught those already...? I haven't yet gotten far enough to care much about the debugger :) ) In a 64-bit world with real 64-bit addresses, those SETFs weren't writing the proper number of bits. I notice that the x86-64 backend still keeps all of its data in an (effectively) 32-bit address space, which is what makes me think this problem hasn't yet cropped up. My solution was to add SAP-REF-WORD and %SET-SAP-REF-WORD in src/code/target-sap.lisp src/code/cross-sap.lisp src/code/defsetfs.lisp src/compiler/saptran.lisp and add the necessary VOPs in src/compiler/$TARGET/sap.lisp. The rationale is that these are analogous to the WORD-LOGICAL-* functions. I used VOPs--more code for each backend--although you might be able to get away with just DEFTRANSFORMing SAP-REF-WORD as appropriate. Another possibility is to use WORD-SAP-REF, defined in src/code/bit-bash.lisp. However, this would probably require moving src/code/target-{uni,}thread.lisp further down in build-order.lisp-expr. The only downside I see is that WORD-SAP-REF isn't really parallel with the existing SAP-REF-* family. Either solution is feasible. Hope the information is useful. -- Nathan | From Man's effeminate slackness it begins. --Paradise Lost

I had family and friends for support, not to mention a ton of drugs to keep me alive, but none of that could top the best medicine I had: my dog, Virgil.
The health benefits of pets have been scientifically studied for years, but as anyone who has a pet knows, the bond goes much deeper than a study. In moments when there are no words to describe your pain or sadness, or any other of the number of problems that come from being sick, that pet looks you in the eye and somehow miraculously gives you the comfort you needed.
That's why this Movember Virgil and I are bro'ing out and getting our shave on.
WATCH Man's Best Friend Hates Cancer Too
Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in young men between the ages of 15 and 35. The second-most common form of cancer among men in the United States is prostate cancer. A diagnosis of cancer is often a cause of mental health problems down the road, of which 15 million American adults are diagnosed with each year.
Facts like these are the reasons that Movember exists.
The Movember Foundation is the official global charity challenging men to grow moustaches to change the face of men's health. Come November 1st, men across the world shave clean and start bro'ing out, aka growing out their mustache, in support of men's health. It's not about the beard. Beards don't start conversations; guys grow them the rest of the year. It's all about the 'stache!
Movember mustaches start conversations, which lead to men getting checkups, which leads to detecting cancer early. They're a walking billboard of support for Movember to raise vital funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health.
Visit Movember.com to sign up to be a MoBro or MoSista. Grow that stache, ask family & friends to support you, and attend one of the thousands of events happening around the world during November.
I'll be keeping a Movember Mustache Diary all month in posts on MTV Act and Huffington Post and tweeting with #Chemocation at @HAlanScott.
Join my team! NerdMelt is one of LA's hottest comedy venues (and the home of Comedy Central's The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail). So hot that we just had to have a team. Join and then come to the special Movember show on November 22nd.
You can have an impact on men's health. Sign up at Movember.com to grow a mustache and join the movement.

For so much of the NCAA Tournament last season, Seimone Augustus played like everyone daydreams they'd play in those big games. As LSU came closer and closer to a Final Four just down the road from its campus, Augustus kept
hitting shots.
Then LSU was in New Orleans, taking on Tennessee ... and crashed into the orange barrier that also has derailed SEC teams Georgia, Auburn, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Vanderbilt during the course of the NCAA Tournament the past two decades.
In the semifinals at New Orleans, two really good teams suddenly were throwing around a ball that seemed four sizes too big to go into the hoop. Clank, clunk, clatter, airball, spinout, short, long, nowhere close.
"It was just shots not falling," Augustus said, summing up LSU's -- and Tennessee's -- problem in the lowest-scoring game ever in the women's Final Four, 52-50 for the Orange.
To refresh your memory, the score was tied 50-50. Tennessee's Tasha Butts missed a chance to score the winning points when her shot fell short, then the ball went off Tennessee. That gave LSU possession with six seconds left, and both
teams took timeouts.
LSU got the ball into point guard Temeka Johnson, who appeared to travel and then dribbled into a double team. She lost the ball, and Tennessee's Shyra Ely picked it up and threw it to LaToya Davis for the winning layup with 1.6 seconds left.
LSU took one more heave shot. On a night when almost nothing was going in for LSU, this didn't, either. For the game, Tennessee shot 31.6 percent (18 of 57) and LSU 38 percent (19 of 50).
Augustus was 7 of 21 for the field for a game-high 16 points. But it was not the Final Four performance, obviously, that she was expecting.
"I think we learned a lot," Augustus said. "It was a good experience to get that far; it was a big eye-opener. People think we lost in the last couple of seconds, but we think we lost the whole game. It wasn't solely that one possession that lost it. We didn't close the game out. After we got a lead, we got comfortable and then didn't pick it up in the second half. It let them get their momentum going.
"But when we got on the bus to head back to Baton Rouge, as far as I was concerned, it was over. It was a good run and things happen for a reason. It happened to show us you have to work hard start to finish."
Of course, it's easier to have such perspective when you are a sophomore because you know there will be more chances. Now a junior and considered high among the favorites for national player of the year, the 6-foot-1 Augustus starts 2004-05 as ESPN.com's preseason player of the year and already has shown she's even better this season.
LSU got started with victories at home last Thursday and Friday in the Women's Sports Foundation Classic. The down side of things for LSU? As the No. 2 team in the country and coming off a Final Four appearance, LSU only drew just more than 2,500 fans for its home opener.
But Augustus and LSU got national attention this past weekend in a 71-70 victory over No. 8 Baylor in the State Farm Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic in Austin, Texas.
There, you could say Augustus -- who scored 33 points -- officially stepped into the spotlight that will be afforded her this season.
"I'm there. I have to take on those responsibilities and I'm more than happy to do that," she said. "If you're a marquee player, you have to act like a marquee player, and carry yourself with pride and dignity."
There is a lot of other talent at LSU. There's the veteran Johnson, who's also one of the nation's best. There are also other solid contributors from last year back, such as Wendlyn Jones, Tillie Willis, Scholanda Hoston and Hanna Biernacka. There's a big-potential freshman in center Sylvia Fowles.
Still, for Augustus there will be extra interviews and more pressure. She's not only the face of LSU but also one of the faces of women's college basketball. Now, she's "supposed" to be great all the time.
Augustus seems to understand all that. She has two more years to win a championship at LSU. Oh, and she has heard the rumors about her leaving the school after three years to try to be a test case for early entry into the WNBA.
"There is nothing to that," she said. "It's just that people heard I'm graduating early, that I'm on track to graduate in three years."
Augustus is getting her degree in business and wants "to own things. A lot of things, like restaurants and shops, to have a lot of my own property."
For now, though, she's trying to stake a claim for LSU being college basketball's best.

Diana Leafe Christian is an author, former editor of Communities magazine, and a nationwide speaker and workshop presenter on starting new ecovillages, on building communities, and on sustainability. She lives in an off-grid homestead at Earthaven Ecovillage in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, USA.[1][2][3] A 2007 quip of hers about what living in community is, is that "it is the longest, most expensive, personal growth workshop you will ever take."[4]
Christian grew up in Los Angeles. According to her, she learned to write at what she called a "real-life school of writing". During the 1970s and 80s Christian wrote articles for New Age magazine, Yoga Journal, and East West Journal, and she hosted radio interview programs in Hawaii and in northern California.[5]
In the early 1990s Christian published a newsletter, Growing Community, about starting new communities. During 1993-2007[5] she was editor of Communities magazine, a quarterly publication of the nonprofit Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC), about intentional communities and organized neighborhoods in North America. Her first book on communities (see below) was published in 2003 and her second in 2007. In 2007, she founded the bimonthly Ecovillages newsletter, a project of Cooperative Resources & Services Project.
Published works[edit]
Christian is the author of two books designed to help people who want to join or start their own ecovillages or other intentional communities. In Creating a Life Together: Practical Tools to Grow Ecovillages and Intentional Communities, she uses success stories, cautionary tales, and step-by-step advice to cover typical time-frames and costs; the role of founders; getting started as a group; vision documents; power, governance, and decision-making; legal structures; finding and financing land; zoning issues; sustainable site plans; selecting new members; and good process and communication skills for dealing well with conflict.
In Finding Community: How to Join an Ecovillage or Intentional Community, she covers researching, visiting, evaluating, and joining communities.
Public speaking[edit]
Christian speaks, leads workshops, and shows slide presentations on ecovillages in the United States and Canada, including Ecovillage Training Center at The Farm in Tennessee, Los Angeles Eco-Village, Lost Valley Educational Center in Oregon, O.U.R. Ecovillage in British Columbia, and Easton Mountain Center in New York. In a 2015 engagement, she spoke on the application of permaculture design principles to ecovillages' financial, legal, and social aspects, in San Diego.[6]
She has led workshops at the North American Cohousing Conference, Twin Oaks Communities Conference, and FIC's Art of Community gathering. Her articles on ecovillages and intentional communities have appeared in publications ranging from Mother Earth News to Canada's This Magazine. She has been quoted in The New York Times,[2] Harper's magazine,[7] and AARP Magazine, and interviewed by Vision magazine, New Dimensions Radio, NPR, and the BBC.
When not touring to give workshops and talks, she lives and works in her sustainable homesite within Earthaven Ecovillage. She participates in Earthaven's consensus governance process, and has served on its strategic planning and membership committees. Christian also gives public and private tours of Earthaven.

I was looking for a sauce to go with my prawns today! This recipe is unusually delicious!<br/>Thanks Peter J for inspiring me! I added some ground pimenton as initially I thought was curry; then added the curry and did not affect the great taste! A keeper for me!
Delicious! Easy, but such sophisticated flavors!
WOW this was terrific. I am enjoying it for lunch today with Andi of LMF's amazing Yes, You Can.......microwave and Steam Shrimp - Longmeadow Farm, and think i will go make more shrimp to eat more sauce :)
Very interesting dipping sauce. We had it with the recommended prawns and thought it could be used with a number of other dipping items. It's a bit too tart for my personal taste so would add a little sugar next time. However, it was right up my husband's ally with the tartness so maybe it's a manly dip. PAC 2007.

Quiet, but unusual, SC primary season winds down
Posted June 9th, 2014 @ 3:54pm by Associated Press photo credit: Cowardlion Shutterstock
Voters from both parties will select party nominees for both of the state's U.S. Senate seats.
Republican Lindsey Graham is running for a third term and faces six GOP challengers who say he's not conservative enough.
Voters will also select nominees U.S. Sen. Tim Scott's seat. He's running for the rest of the unexpired term of Jim DeMint. Scott was appointed by Gov. Nikki Haley to the Senate when DeMint resigned at the end of 2012.
Among other offices, voters will choose from a bevy of candidates who want to become state's superintendent of education and lieutenant governor.
In addition, five congressional primaries will be decided Tuesday.

Welcome trick-or-treaters with these simple, easy-to-carve pumpkin creations.
10 Ways to Make Your Bedroom More Romantic
Machines and monsters and owls, oh my! Greet trick-or-treaters and have a spooky Halloween with these simple, easy-to-carve pumpkin ideas.More
Save these ideas for later by pinning this image, and follow Woman's Day on Pinterest for more ideas.
These carvings look as if they're reaching from beyond the grave.
• 6 different sizes pumpkins
• Skeletal templates (Baby Owl, Mama Owl, and Daddy Owl)
• Carving tools
• Copier
• Masking tape
• X-Acto knife
• Battery-operated candle
Step 1: Select a pair of pumpkins to form each arm-hand combo. Determine which gourd will serve as the arm (usually the taller one) and trim its stem so the other pumpkin can rest securely on top. Carve a hole in the bottoms of both, scoop out the pulp, and return the cut pieces.
Step 2: Print out these skeletal templates and resize on a copier, scaling the images to fit your pumpkins.
Step 3: Cut out stencils as directed on the templates and affix arm stencil to the bottom pumpkin with masking tape. Trace on the design with a felt-tip pen. Repeat the process on the other pumpkin, using the hand template.
Step 4: Remove stencils, then carefully carve along the drawn lines with an X-Acto knife. Affix a battery-operated votive candle in the base of each pumpkin with adhesive.

Poem Title:
It chanced upon the very day we'd got the shearing done, A buggy brought a stranger to the West-o'-Sunday Run; He had a round and jolly face, and he was sleek and stout, He drove right up between the huts and called the super out. We chaps were smoking after tea, and heard the swell enquire For one as travelled by the name of `Dunn of Nevertire'. Jack Dunn of Nevertire, Poor Dunn of Nevertire; There wasn't one of us but knew Jack Dunn of Nevertire. `Jack Dunn of Nevertire,' he said; `I was a mate of his; And now it's twenty years since I set eyes upon his phiz. There is no whiter man than Jack -- no straighter south the line, There is no hand in all the land I'd sooner grip in mine; To help a mate in trouble Jack would go through flood and fire. Great Scott! and don't you know the name of Dunn of Nevertire? Big Dunn of Nevertire, Long Jack from Nevertire; He stuck to me through thick and thin, Jack Dunn of Nevertire. `I did a wild and foolish thing while Jack and I were mates, And I disgraced my guv'nor's name, an' wished to try the States. My lamps were turned to Yankee Land, for I'd some people there, And I was right when someone sent the money for my fare; I thought 'twas Dad until I took the trouble to enquire, And found that he who sent the stuff was Dunn of Nevertire, Jack Dunn of Nevertire, Soft Dunn of Nevertire; He'd won some money on a race -- Jack Dunn of Nevertire. `Now I've returned, by Liverpool, a swell of Yankee brand, To reckon, guess, and kalkilate, 'n' wake my native land; There is no better land, I swear, in all the wide world round -- I smelt the bush a month before we touched King George's Sound! And now I've come to settle down, the top of my desire Is just to meet a mate o' mine called `Dunn of Nevertire'. Was raised at Nevertire -- The town of Nevertire; He humped his bluey by the name of `Dunn of Nevertire'. `I've heard he's poor, and if he is, a proud old fool is he; But, spite of that, I'll find a way to fix the old gum-tree. I've bought a station in the North -- the best that could be had; I want a man to pick the stock -- I want a super bad; I want no bully-brute to boss -- no crawling, sneaking liar -- My station super's name shall be `Jack Dunn of Nevertire'! Straight Dunn of Nevertire, Old Dunn of Nevertire; I guess he's known up Queensland way -- Jack Dunn of Nevertire.' The super said, while to his face a strange expression came: `I THINK I've seen the man you want, I THINK I know the name; Had he a jolly kind of face, a free and careless way, Gray eyes that always seem'd to smile, and hair just turning gray -- Clean-shaved, except a light moustache, long-limbed, an' tough as wire?' `THAT'S HIM! THAT'S DUNN!' the stranger roared, `Jack Dunn of Nevertire! John Dunn of Nevertire, Jack D. from Nevertire, They said I'd find him here, the cuss! -- Jack Dunn of Nevertire. `I'd know his walk,' the stranger cried, `though sobered, I'll allow.' `I doubt it much,' the boss replied, `he don't walk that way now.' `Perhaps he don't!' the stranger said, `for years were hard on Jack; But, if he were a mile away, I swear I'd know his back.' `I doubt it much,' the super said, and sadly puffed his briar, `I guess he wears a pair of wings -- Jack Dunn of Nevertire; Jack Dunn of Nevertire, Brave Dunn of Nevertire, He caught a fever nursing me, Jack Dunn of Nevertire.' We took the stranger round to where a gum-tree stood alone, And in the grass beside the trunk he saw a granite stone; The names of Dunn and Nevertire were plainly written there -- `I'm all broke up,' the stranger said, in sorrow and despair, `I guess he has a wider run, the man that I require; He's got a river-frontage now, Jack Dunn of Nevertire; Straight Dunn of Nevertire, White Jack from Nevertire, I guess Saint Peter knew the name of `Dunn of Nevertire'.'

The Cold Six Thousand: Underworld USA 2 (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
In this savagely audacious novel, James Ellroy""plants a pipe bomb under the America in the 1960s, lights the fuse, and watches the shrapnel fly. On November 22, 1963 three men converge in Dallas. Their job: to clean up the JFK hit's loose ends and inconvenient witnesses. They are Wayne Tedrow, Jr., a Las Vegas cop with family ties to the lunatic right; Ward J. Littell, a defrocked FBI man turned underworld mouthpiece; and Pete Bondurant, a dope-runner and hit-man who serves as the mob's emissary to the anti-Castro underground.
It goes bad from there. For the next five years these night-riders run a whirlwind of plots and counter-plots: Howard Hughes's takeover of Vegas, J. Edgar Hoover's war against the civil rights movement, the heroin trade in Vietnam, and the murders of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy. Wilder than "L. A. Confidential, "more devastating than "American Tabloid, "The Cold Six Thousand establishes Ellroy as one of our most fearless novelists.
About the Author
James Ellroy was born in Los Angeles in 1948. His L.A. quartet -- The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential and White Jazz -- were international bestsellers. American Tabloid was Time's Novel of the Year in 1995; his memoir My Dark Places was Time's Best Book and a New York Times Notable book for 1996. His novel The Cold Six Thousand was a New York Times Notable Book and Los Angeles Times Best Book for 2001. He lives on the coast of California.
Praise For…
"Ellroy rips into American culture like a chainsaw in an abbatoir. . . . Pick it up if you dare; put it down if you can." –Time
"A wild ride. . . . An American political underbelly teeming with conspiracy and crime. . . . So hard-boiled you could chip a tooth on it." –The New York Times Book Review
"A ripping read....the book is pure testosterone." –The Plain Dealer
"A great and terrible book about a great and terrible time in America." –The Village Voice

ATLANTA (AP) - Gov. Sonny Perdue has ordered flags on all state buildings and grounds to be flown at half-staff Wednesday in honor of former U.S. Attorney Griffin Bell.
Bell died Monday morning at age 90 in an Atlanta hospital. He is to be buried at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Oak Grove Cemetery in his hometown of Americus.
The funeral is open to the public.
Bell was for decades one of Atlanta's most prominent attorneys and served as U.S. attorney general for his longtime friend President Jimmy Carter for 2 1/2 years.

News More Bad News on I-933
You already knew I-933, a "takings" initiative that would force state and local governments to waive zoning, environmental and other land-use regulations or pay landowners to follow them, is crazy expensive and awful for the environment.
But did you know it will also eradicate or endanger incentives to build affordable housing?
Comprehensive planning and implementation through development regulations will become financially infeasible, because state and local governments do not have the funds to pay landowners to comply with existing or future laws.
State and local governments will be unable to regulate to protect residents against
public nuisances or environmental hazards, such as pollution and contamination of
drinking water, unless there is an "immediate threat to human health or safety."
Hundreds of millions of tax dollars will be diverted from other programs, including
social service and housing programs, to administer the initiative.
Zoning and other land use regulations aimed at preserving or increasing affordable
housing units will become an effective nullity, because agencies will likely waive the
regulations rather than pay landowners.
Read the full memo here.
