7-9 December 2011
Victoria University of Wellington
Rutherford House, Pipitea Campus
Wellington, New Zealand
The Art Association of Australia and New Zealand 2011 Annual conference is focused on a single overarching theme: Contact. 'Contact' evokes encounters between cultures, peoples and objects and the issues and outcomes they spark. The organisers welcome papers on topics or issues related to this theme, whether these are about the encounter between one culture and another, between viewer and art work or between one artist or art work and another. Participants are encouraged to think creatively about the theme. We welcome proposals that address themselves to resistance and hybridity, intersection and divergence, purity and pollution, and other related questions raised by the theme of contact. We encourage proposals for papers from art historians, artists, critics, curators and post-graduate students.
Okuwi Enwezor (New York and Munich based curator and writer) Professor Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby (University of California, Berkeley)
The DEADLINE FOR ALL PAPER PROPOSALS is Tuesday, 2 August 2011.
Delegates are advised that the format of the 2011 conference is different from recent conferences in that there is no Call for Sessions, only a Call for Papers. Delegates are asked to address one of the major strands of the conference in their proposals. Papers will be placed into cognate groupings within these broad strands. This form is being adopted in the interests of coherence and to streamline the timetabling of sessions. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Papers will be grouped into four broad strands, each addressing the issue of contact.
Cultural - The variety of cultural contacts: cross-cultural contacts between settler and indigenous cultures; contacts between metropolitan and 'provincial' centres; hybridity
Material - The materiality of the art work: physical proximity of the art work and the beholder; production; indexicality; collecting, authenticity, reproduction and copies
Social - The complex ways in which social contacts are made: the internet; the social engagement of art with its audiences; exhibition and reception histories and theories; social networks and artistic exchange
Spatial/Temporal - Spatial and temporal proximities: the trans-spatial and trans-temporal potentialities of new media; transnational art histories; how art historians negotiate spatial and temporal distance in their work
POST-GRADUATE STUDENT WORKSHOP (Wednesday, 7 Dec, 12-4pm)
Post-graduate students are invited to submit proposals for 10-minute presentations that will be grouped into appropriately themed panels by the conference organizers. Chaired by arts professionals, these panels will offer students the opportunity to receive feedback from experts in the field.
SEEKING POST-GRAD PANEL CHAIRS If you would be willing to Chair a Post-Graduate panel, please send an email indicating your area of expertise to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line: Post-Grad Chair offer.
All paper proposals must be submitted electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com on the AAANZ2011 Paper Proposal Form.
This form, as well as a colour A3 (poster size) Call for Papers to post on your campus, can be downloaded at: www.aaanz.info/index.php?p=1_7_Conference-2011. The same Paper Proposal Form is also to be used for the Post Graduate Student Workshop.

Learn how to design knitwear from the master … Shirley Paden! Author of Knitwear Design Workshop, the go-to reference book for knit garment designers, Shirley brings her comprehensive yet simple design process to Craftsy, including a 26-page downloadable workbook and animated video diagrams. Shirley shows you step-by-step how to use one simple math formula to calculate yardage, shape sleeve caps and armholes, distribute increases and decreases and achieve a perfect fit. Don't miss this opportunity to learn handknit garment design from an industry expert.
Meet your instructor, renowned knitwear designer Shirley Paden, and learn more about the class.
Shirley discusses what you should consider in planning your garment, including fiber and stitch types, the importance of swatching and creating a schematic.
Your fiber and stitch pattern should reflect your goals for the garment. Shirley shares a variety of examples.
Accurate measurements ensure the perfect fit. See how Shirley takes horizontal and vertical measurements of shoulders, bust, arms and more.
Begin building your schematic with the measurements you've taken and calculate your yarn requirements.
Shirley shows how to plug your numbers into a handy formula to determine where your increases should be placed to blend in evenly.
Balanced decreases make your shaping smooth. Use Shirley's formula for getting those decreases in the right spot.
Plan your armhole decreases, get the neckline you want and calculate the shoulder shaping with Shirley's helpful tips.
Make the calculations for a perfect sleeve fit with evenly placed increases.
A properly tapered body has a flattering fit. Fill in your sweater schematic with all the numbers you'll need.
For a V-neck sweater, you'll need to figure out how to combine neckline shaping with armhole shaping. Shirley shows you how!
This calculation might seem super-complicated, but Shirley shows you how to get a handle on it. You'll have a great-looking sleeve that fits perfectly into the armhole of your sweater.
"Shirley's simple yet robust techniques empower designers of all levels to create custom fit garments. I really enjoyed and appreciated Shirley's systematic approach to the planning process. I am a new knitter and the class has given me the skills I need to knit a cardigan without following a commercial pattern. I didn't know how to get past knitting accessories, like scarves. I now know how to shape garments with confidence. I'm very excited and cannot wait to venture into my next project!"

On Saturday night, Lil Wayne performed at a GQ, Lacoste and Mercedes-Benz hosted party at the Elms Mansion in New Orleans. Among the fans on hand was model Kate Upton, who posed for photos in front of her GQ cover and stood on a couch to get a better view of Lil Wayne's show, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Even Paul McCartney and wife Nancy Shevell were spotted "rushing through the backstage area to catch the end of his performance," the source adds.
At Playboy's Super Bowl Party presented by Crown Royal, Neil Patrick Harris, Anna Faris and Jeremy Piven mingled in the VIP area.
David Arquette was also in attendance and couldn't hide his enthusiasm for B.o.B. – jumping on stage during his performance!
Later that night, the Audi Forum kept the party going with deejay sets by Solange Knowles and Diplo. Guests included Modern Family's Sofia Vergara, Stacy Keibler, Jeremy Renner, Chace Crawford, Hunger Games's Josh Hutcherson, Ashley Greene, Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul and more.
Knowles – who was dressed in all white – was overheard talking about how excited she was to see her sister Beyoncé's halftime show.
Keibler – who was once a Baltimore Ravens cheerleader – stopped by Vergara's table to say hello and pose for photos together. Later, Keibler and Paul discovered they had a mutual pal and became fast friends. Meanwhile, Paul was also "excited" to see Crawford, who was having a guys night with Hutcherson, a source says.
– Jennifer Garcia and Patrick Gomez

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by MuddDawger Two Years Later - still a good buy I was reviewing some other products and thought I would give a review of a glove I bought almost two season ago. This was a glove for at the time an 8U player who is now 9. The glove is showing some wear and will need to be replaced next year. But, to get two years out of a glove at this age and for the price of $35 was a great choice. He has played a lot of ball over those two years and the glove after originally being steamed and oiled monthly, has held up very well. It really is a great buy for the price. Make no mistake this is not a glove that will last 3-5 years but at this price to get two years out of it and for it to hold up during that time and be comfortable to him, I view it as well worth the cost and worth 5 stars. May 10, 2016

He's 10 now and playing Travel ball and still will not relinquish it to his little brother.

Most sheet goods � plywood, particleboard, OSB, etc. � come from the factory as nice square rectangles. Recognizing this benefit, Club member David Oliver of Somerville, New Jersey, keeps track of the factory edges and corners (provided they�re square) by marking them with a pencil. By guiding these edges against the saw fence, he�s able to ensure square cuts for his workpieces. Because these edges get worn and can look ragged, it�s best to cut them off if they�re used in a joint or if they show.

7 People Who Need to Get Out of the Freaking Way
Sometimes the universe brings people into your life who seem to know just what you need at that very moment, and then they stand right between you and that thing. There is a colorful term for one specific type of that person, namely "cockblocker," but there are a lot of other types whose blockage is aimed at things other than the union of genitals.
#7. People Who Stand in Front of the Most Useful Thing in the Room
When the average working person goes to the break room, he or she is usually planning to do something in it other than admire the architecture. Like possibly use one of the items in the room, like the fridge, or the coffee machine, or the sink. With great frequency, they will find a pack of Chatty Cathys strategically placed in front of each of the things they are planning to use.
Never mind that there's some fine patches of blank wall or empty counter anyone could stand in front of. Or how about the legally mandated employee rights and labor laws posters? I'm pretty sure that's why the government requires them to be posted in every break room, to create a permanent patch of wall nobody ever needs to use or look at. It's a sort of decorated "stand here please" wallpaper.
Aron Gent
Ain't nobody reading this, OSHA.
I can get that if there's nowhere else to stand, you'd stand in front of the coffee pot or the fridge, but if I ever do that, I stay alert to anyone entering the room, casting furtive glances at the item, and am ready to move at a moment's notice, whereas most people seem completely baffled by why you are standing in front of them and just try to ignore you like you are some rude weirdo.
"Why would anyone ever need to use one of these?"
So fine, fair enough. You say, "Excuse me," because people can't read your mind, after all, and maybe they could reasonably think you are in love with them but have some social disorder where you don't know that you shouldn't stare directly at people, which has to be more likely than the possibility that you want to use the frequently used machine behind them, and clearly the empty coffee mug you are holding is just a red herring clue they don't want to be distracted by. So you say, "Excuse me," which should clear everything up.
Then invariably they move from standing in front of the coffee maker to standing in front of the coffee condiments, which means that after you have poured your coffee, you are going to have to ask them to excuse you again, after which they'll probably stand in front of the garbage can so you can't throw your stirrer and empty sugar packet away. And there's a limit to how much you can help them out, because saying "Excuse me" is acceptable enough, but "How about you just stand in front of the stupid labor laws?" is considered patronizing.
You'll see the same thing in many other places, too, like the gym, where people will go pick up some weights from the weight rack, and then start lifting those weights right in front of it, because come on, who else is going to want to get weights? In a gym?
#6. People Who Just Want to "Get in Real Quick"
Specifically, people who want to "get in real quick" to do the same thing you were doing. I don't have any objection to someone who asks if they can get in real quick because they only have one item when I have a shopping cart full of assorted groceries and am planning to argue about some of the coupons. Other people with mass purchases have voluntarily let me go first in those situations, and I think it's a fine thing and don't mind doing the same for others.
Especially when I am purchasing a child. The paperwork takes forever.
But someone who only has one item and wants to get ahead of you when you also only have one item is kind of a dick, especially when they're not really asking you but telling you, and slip in without waiting for an answer. It's not only grocery stores, but also when you're trying to get somewhere in a crowd and some asshole behind you decides you don't really need to be anywhere but are just enjoying the autumn air or contemplating life or something.
In reality, you're in a damn hurry to get through the postgame crowd and find a bathroom, but a gaggle of cross-traffic just blocked your way, forcing you to stop until they pass. Now that they've passed, the way is clear for you to go forward, only this dipshit behind you has decided the way was clear the whole time and you were just standing there because you are enjoying the atmosphere, so they cut in front of you as you're stepping forward into the gap, and say, "I just need to get in here," because they are the only ones who want to leave the arena and you and everyone else in the crowd obviously are slack-jawed morons who want to hang out there all night or until your keepers come get you.
I've also been at a soda machine, about to get a soda, when someone else says they "just need to get in real quick," and it turns out they want to ... get a soda, like I was about to do.
It seems like the only time it's appropriate is as a very honest pickup line.
#5. People Who Stand Right in Front of Elevator Doors
Elevators and subway cars are two things people seem to really really want to get into, despite the fact that they are often smelly and urine-stained. But as the old saying goes, you have to ride the pee car or you'll never get to the office.
Sometimes elevators and trains can be really crowded, and it's understandable that riders want to get a jump on the competition and make sure they get in first, before it fills up. That's the kind of thinking that leads you to push an old couple onto the third rail, hoping you will move up two places in line, when actually they just end up stopping all the trains and the police come in and you not only don't get on this one, but you don't get on another train for three hours and your boss makes you stay late. That's probably what would happen if you hypothetically did such a thing.
Equally counterproductive is standing right in front of the doors as they open, blocking the exiting passengers. You see, in order for you to get on a crowded train or elevator, someone on board needs to step out. Unless that person is a ghost, they cannot get out by passing through you.
I have seen many people deal with this impasse by staring at the passengers inside the elevator impatiently, as if wondering why they don't get out. Or they consider moving in any the four compass directions, three of which would allow passengers to exit, and take the fourth one, by trying to charge forward into the elevator through sheer willpower.
Quite often, the people inside just have to try to squeeze their way out past the glowering obstacle, which requires Eastern European levels of personal space invasion, and face-to-face at that.
I don't know why they can't stand just to the side of the elevator door, which is still just one step away from the elevator and doesn't make it look like you are lining up to kiss everyone inside as they step out.
#4. People Who Are in Denial About the Size of Their Backpacks
If you've ever gone to college, you've probably run into this scenario at some point -- you're trying to walk down a narrow aisle in a bookstore, only to be blocked by a fellow shopper browsing the shelves. He takes up about half of the 36-inch aisle (the minimum width allowed by the Americans With Disabilities Act), and his backpack takes up the other half.
You say, "Excuse me," and he's polite enough to scoot forward a few inches, and goes back to reading the book he isn't going to buy. You look, and there's about 4 inches of clearance behind his backpack. "Um sorry," you say, "I still can't ..." and he scoots forward until he's pressed against the shelf in front of him, staring at you bizarrely, like he can't believe you can't get by with what must be a massive gulf behind him. Eventually, you call upon your yoga training and breathing exercises and manage to make it through the 6-inch gap he's given you, his backpack snapping back into place as you pop through.
After that clue, he might idly reach a hand back to see how far his backpack goes, and maybe, if he's a very self-aware type, take it off and put it on the floor. Or maybe turn sideways the next time someone comes by to pass. Pretty often, though, these people are still not clear what the problem was and go back to reading the free book in the store.
For some reason, most people seem to severely underestimate the size of their backpacks. The mental perception of most backpack wearers is that it adds a negligible width to their profile, when on a lot of high school and college campuses, it's pretty common for backpacks to double or even triple a person's front-to-back measurement, depending on how skinny they are.
School backpacks -- slim and fitted like a second skin.
You see this in the aisle-passing problem, and you also see it when backpacks are slung on the backs of chairs and someone tries to get by. For some reason, the backpack owner imagines the backpack to be about 4 inches deep at most, and doesn't even consider that two backpack-laden chairs, back to back, can completely block a passage. You get the same slight scooting forward and the same confused annoyance that this isn't enough to let the walker by. You might also get the self-righteous grumble that the walker would dare touch the backpack as they squeeze by it, because they figure the walker has plenty of space and is just pushing the backpack on purpose as they go by, to be a drama queen or something.

Greensboro, NC -- "Thank you" seems like too small a phrase when you think about our country's veterans. But one local business is going to try to express their gratitude.
Meineke Car Care Centers in Greensboro are offering free oil changes to Military Personnel on Veterans Day. They say that it is the least they can do to thank our brave men and women for their service.
They are extending the service not only to veterans, but to spouses of deployed soldiers. The service includes 5 quarts of oil. a filter, and a 23-point inspection.
Meineke says Veterans can visit either of the existing locations: 4434 West Wendover Avenue or 4513 West Market Street in Greensboro.
Meineke Car Care Centers are open 7:30 am - 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
To receive a free oil change, schedule an appointment for Monday, November 12, by calling 852-9620 (West Wendover Ave.) or 852-5800 (West Market St.).

"See Now Then" – Jamaica Kincaid's first new novel in over a decade – is bold and beautiful but best read aloud. In fact, it would make an excellent play, a tragedy complete with a Greek chorus (dubbed Now and Then).
But it is a book and, at first, this seems something of a drawback as Mrs. Sweet, its chief narrator, speaks in an endless stream of words, her thoughts often spreading over several pages before culminating – at long last – in a period.
Joycean? Yes, and also much like the role of Winnie in the Samuel Beckett play "Happy Days" – both Winnie and Kincaid addressing us in a rush that we recognize as an actual process of thought.
As Mrs. Sweet tells us early on, from her home in Vermont, "she was looking out at her life: from the Shirley Jackson house (where she lived), across the way lay the mountains Green and Anthony and laying beneath them were the rivers: Paran and Battenkill and Branch and Mettowee, bodies of water, full of trout hungry for a midafternoon hatch of invertebrates, some flowing into the Hudson River, one of many tributaries to that large body of water, the Atlantic Ocean, and she was thinking of her now, knowing that it would most certainly become a Then even as it was a Now, for the present will be now then and the past is now then and the future will be a now then, and that the past and the present and the future has no permanent present tense, has no certainty in regard to right now, and she gathered up her children, the young Hercules who would always be so, no matter what befell him, and the beautiful Persephone, who would always be so, beautiful and perfect and just."
Kincaid's style here certainly takes some getting used to – but "See Now Then" is, blessedly, much more than its often-wearing prose: It is the story of a marriage within which Mrs. Sweet was, for many years, quite happy. But that was Then, and this is Now. Mrs. Sweet is Now broken in two – and wants to spill the internal chaos her shattered marriage causes her all over the pages of "See Now Then."
Her tale is also an invitation to consider what actually is now, was then and might be in our own lives – while realizing time is too fleeting to pinpoint any of it, a fact that causes Mrs. Sweet to step out of chronology to ruminate instead.
That her life parallels Kincaid's own should come as no surprise. Kincaid's fiction has often been, to some extent, autobiographical – which makes "See Now Then" particularly juicy, Kincaid's former husband, the composer Allen Shawn, being well-known in his own right.
As Mrs. Sweet (read Kincaid) tells it, their long marriage ended because of Mr. Sweet's inability to understand a basic component of love (and her inability to know this).
"… love, love and love in all its forms and configurations, hatred being one of them, and yes, Mr. Sweet did love her, his hatred being a form of his love for her," she laments at one point, later musing, "… she loved and she loved and she loved and Mr. Sweet fell in love with her because of the passion with which she could love all the many things that truly made up her true self … But Mrs. Sweet … did not know of the ways in which Mr. Sweet's imagination, his Now and his Then, his ways of seeing the present, the past and the future, colored the ways in which he saw her."
Mrs. Sweet, like her creator, hails from the Caribbean and bears the first name Jamaica – facts that Mr. Sweet explains, disparagingly, by claiming that his tall, striking wife arrived in the U.S. "by banana boat." Mrs. Sweet – she of the "thick, chaotic lips" and eyes "the color of barrels of molasses" – wants us to know that she is the party scorned here, and "See Now Then" is her revenge. Or perhaps her musings are the best manner she has for putting the man and the marriage behind her.
Either way, "See Now Then" is – by turns – lovely, even lilting, difficult, and condemning of Mr. Sweet. The good news is that everything works – Kincaid's style, story and startling way of telling a tale of the cosmos in terms of domesticity. That this is a tragedy of Greek scale in Mrs. Sweet's eyes is echoed in her choice of names for her children, a daughter and a son, Persephone and Hercules, and her use of the word monodist for her husband's musical compositions, of Myrmidons for their son Hercules' toy soldiers.
She speaks of the birth of her son, Hercules:
"As Mrs. Sweet was standing over him, admiring his baby form, his young tenderness, and seeing in his glorious features outstanding attributes, she wept, the tears flowing uncontrollably and in such volume, that she had to immediately gather them up and place them outside, making a pond, in which frogs, trout and the like would live and lay their eggs …"
Persephone, apparently her father's favorite, is "his close companion and kept hidden from Mrs. Sweet among his musical notes."
Persephone appears less frequently than Hercules in "See Now Then" – but Mrs. Sweet is in awe of her throughout the book, calling Persephone "her first great love, the everlasting, deeply harmonious, beautiful Persephone."
That Mr. Sweet is a composer, as is Kincaid's former husband, and that Mr. and Mrs. Sweet have a daughter and a son, as Kincaid and Shawn do, is brought home countless times, sometimes suggesting to us that Mr. Sweet may well have left because Mrs. Sweet can be, well, too much.
Like Kincaid, whose love of gardening is a hallmark of her work, Mrs. Sweet has a garden so lush that Mr. Sweet takes perverse delight when "now, at this moment, this now, what happiness, for the deer ate her tulips just as they were all about to open in a glorious bloom …"
The feeling is the same toward the sometimes smothering way in which Mrs. Sweet produces meal after meal from scratch, many of her productions involving complicated French dishes – causing her daughter to cry out for McDonald's.
Kincaid, therefore, does not spare herself – a gift that also keeps her from being blind to the humor in Mrs. Sweet's situation. (Mr. Sweet "loved only nocturnes," his masterpiece being a piece titled "This Marriage Is Dead.")
There is courage and brilliance here, and an unusual way of going about it.
We hurt for Mrs. Sweet, we pull for her, we identify with her passion for her children while we somewhat understand Mr. Sweet – and fairly jump for joy when Mrs. Sweet notes that, "Death has no Then and Now."

Any kind of stressful circumstances can worsen the symptoms of ADHD . As a result, lifestyle changes are an important part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Improvements in your child's environment, brought about by behavioral therapy, can reduce symptoms a great deal. Because most cases of ADHD are diagnosed in childhood, many of these lifestyle changes are geared toward helping parents help their children cope with ADHD.
The following recommendations all have the same objective: reduction of stress and distractions to help focus your child's attention. Children and adults with ADHD are more sensitive to these stressors than the average person.
Some research has shown that behaviors like fidgeting, pencil tapping, and constant movement in adolescents may serve a distinct brain function and help ADHD kids stay alert and on task. Some teachers and schools may take a different approach and allow children to move and fidget in a quiet manner (such as squeeze a ball or stand at the back of the room with work).
Talk to your family doctor or a mental health professional if symptoms worsen or you need help addressing these lifestyle changes.

Technical information
RouteSt. Margrethen – Heiden – Trogen – Appenzell – Urnäsch – Neu St. Johann – Wildhaus – Gams – Klosters – Wolfgangpass – Flüelapass – Susch – Zernez – La Punt – Albulapass – Bergün – Thusis – Splügen – San Bernardino Pass – Biasca – Olivone – Passo del Lucomagno – Disentis
- Length: 433km
- Duration (50km/h): 8.5h
Highest Elevations
- Flüela Pass, 2383 m
- Albula Pass, 2312m
- San Bernardino Pass, 2065m
- Lukmanier Pass, 1914m
- Wolfgang Pass, 1631m
Via Wildhaus the tour travels to Sargans, Landquart and Klosters. It then rolls over the Wolfgang Pass to Davos and over the Flüela Pass into the Engadin, one of Europe's highest inhabited valleys, over 80 kilometers long. Alongside the Inn River the journey goes to Zernez and Zuoz up to La Punt, the starting point of the Albula Pass route that leads to Bergün.
From Preda/Bergün the route continues alongside the Albula railway line. Countless viaducts, tunnels, bridges and three spiral tunnels were necessary to overcome the altitude difference on the route. From Thusis, the motorbikers travel on the main road and on the Autobahn (Expressway) through the Graubünden Vacation Region of Splügen/Rheinwald to Hinter Rhine. While the Autobahn disappears in a tunnel before emerging at the village of San Bernardino, the pass road leads to a mystical high moor landscape with reflecting bodies of water and glacial striations, and further on to the San Bernardino Pass (2065 meters above sea level) and the beautiful mountain lake, Lago Moesola.
The Bernardino Route is for motorbikers who want to travel from Eastern Switzerland to Ticino - an alternative to the Gotthard Pass. The journey continues via Roveredo, Biasca and Olivone in the Blenio Valley to the Lukmanier Pass and then to Disentis in the Surselva area, the destination of this tour. Disentis and Sedrun, located at the origin of the Rhine River, are modern towns, which are nevertheless deeply rooted in traditional culture. In the upper part of the Surselva area Romansh is spoken, Switzerland's fourth language.

ATTICA - Two games, two big wins.
It took a while for Calvert to tip off its season, but once the ball went in the air, things have gone quite smoothly for the Senecas. Two days after posting a 28-point win over Norwalk St. Paul in the season opener, Calvert opened Midland Athletic League play with a 68-39 win over Seneca East.
"It's going great," Calvert's Nicole Bickley said of the young season. "Everyone's contributing to the scoring and I'm really proud of how everyone's doing."
Article Photos
Calvert's Margaret Bowers looks to pass during Thursday's game in?Attica against?Seneca East.
She hit the nail on the head saying "everyone's contributing." In Thursday's win, nine players scored points with three landing in double figures. Taylor Ritzler topped Calvert with 14 points, Kate Brickner had 12 and Bickley posted a double-double, grabbing 12 rebounds to go with her 10 points.
"Coming into the year we knew what we were going to get out of Kate and Nicole," Calvert coach Tim Ritzler said. "We were looking for other girls to step up and as long as they step up, it helps take the pressure of those two. As much as teams try to focus on them, if other girls start making shots you have to adjust defensively and that just opens up things of everyone else. I thought our girls did an excellent job tonight sharing the basketball, finding the open person. They're a very unselfish group. They don't care who gets the buckets as long as we're winning games."
A balanced offense with nine players scoring will help win a lot of games. Keeping the other team from scoring will help win a lot more.
For the second-straight game, Calvert's defense held its opponent under 30 percent shooting. Seneca East hit on just 14 of 64 shots (21.8 percent). For Tiger coach Dave Stallings, while the Calvert defense was tough to work through, he feels the mental aspect was also working against his team.
"It's a mental block," he said. "Truth of the matter is, it's a mental block for our girls. I respect Tim and his program. I wasn't scared of them. I think we could've competed with them and we just didn't do it tonight. We didn't hit shots early and I thought that hurt us."
Things started off promising when Seina Adachi opened the game's scoring with a 3-pointer for Seneca East. Brittany Brookes also knocked down a 3-pointer toward the end of the quarter, but in between it was missed shot after missed shot. The two trifectas were the only baskets the Tigers hit on in 17 attempts in the first quarter. They didn't get their first two-point basket until Adachi got a steal and layup midway through the second.
Inside the arc, Calvert's defense was nearly impenetrable.
"We knew what kind of guards they have and we wanted to stop the dribble penetration as much as possible, force them to shoot from the outside," Ritzler said. "I thought our defense tonight was very good and that's kind of what got us going."
Second looks were hard to come by for Seneca East, as most missed shots were usually gobbled up by the Calvert post players.
Along with Bickley's numbers, Margaret Bowers tallied eight points and seven rebounds. Including reserves Samantha Beckley and Amber Perry, the Calvert post players totaled 26 points and 27 rebounds.
"I think we definitely had the height advantage and we've been working hard to outscore other posts," Bickley said. "We've really been focusing on our defense, and we know with our quick guards, we can shut down the outside shots. Then, we can completely deny the inside."
"I think it's something we try to do just about every night," Ritzler said. "We're very confident in our post players inside and we think we got four pretty good ones, even with the two we bring off the bench in Sam and Amber. They do a nice job inside. We want to establish an inside presence, then if teams start to press, we know we can kick out to shooters. I think our guards did a good job getting it inside. Our post players do a great job posting up and getting good position."
Adachi, who came in leading the MAL in the season's infant stages with 23.7 points a game, led Seneca East with 15, but struggled with her shot all night as the Calvert defense prevented her from getting in a good scoring rhythm.
"We just didn't make shots," Stallings said. "Seina's leading the MAL in four different categories and she just didn't have it tonight. None of our guards did."

GAINSVILLE, Florida (WTLV) -- Shipping containers are extremely durable designed to withstand high winds, salt water and hold 60,000 lbs. so why not stack them and turn them into a house?
That's just what a Gainesville, Florida man did and when you take a tour of his house, you may be surprised at all that it offers.
"I wanted to have a house that was affordable, that was safe but that could handle any natural disaster and then I wanted a green house. And this fits all three of those," said Tom Fox, who lives inside 12 upcycled shipping containers that were just sitting in a shipping yard in Jacksonville.

5 Awful Experiences You Never Get Over
If you're reading this, then odds are pretty good you're broken. That's OK. That applies to most people who've lived long enough or got dealt unfair hands early on. Life has no shortage of rough edges and cruel angles, and it's virtually impossible to navigate the twists and turns of existence without getting cut eventually. Over time, these minor insults and traumas heal, but they often scar. Accumulate enough scar tissue, and pretty soon you stop working the way you're supposed to. Or at least as well as you could have without the injuries.
There's an old saying that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and I guess that can be true. Pain makes you flinch. Your fingers form a fist, and that fist can become tighter and harder with each indignity suffered. Eventually, that fist might even get strong enough to punch down walls. But if you need your hand for something other than violence, if you want to unfurl those fingers to caress a loved one or comfort someone in need and can't, well then, you're broken.
Also, please stop punching walls.
I started thinking about all the things that can break us. Those crucial moments when we first learn something dark about the world that places us on a more destructive path. I wanted to write about them, avoiding the obvious triggers like death and abuse to get a better accounting of what breaks us. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe because I'm no fun. Or maybe I had a deadline and just couldn't bear to research "6 Famous Works of Art With Hidden Penises." But I think we can agree it's easier to fix things when you understand how they broke.
#5. The First Time You're Wrongly Called a Liar
There's no doubt this is a huge one for me. Let me tell you a story from kindergarten. We were at recess, and I was running around the way speedy little 5-year-olds do. I was probably pretending to be Spider-Man or Han Solo, because apart from my family, those were the two defining archetypes of my boyhood. (Also because Superman and Luke Skywalker are boring.) So anyway, I was running around, head down, and I ran right into a boy I'll call John (because that's totally his name). I looked up and saw John rubbing his face. My running fist had apparently contacted his chin. I asked John if he was OK, he said yes, I apologized, he said OK, and I went on my way.
Five minutes later, while I was busy spinning webs or shooting lasers, some busybody little girls came over to tell me I was in big trouble and our teacher, Mrs. Steir, wanted to see me. I was pretty surprised, but also pretty confident I could explain myself. So Mrs. Steir asked me if I punched John, and I told her the whole story. Do you know what she did?
She looked down at me and said, "Have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?" I protested and she was insistent, even though I'd never lied to her before. Even though I'd never been in trouble in class. Even though she'd only had John's (totally lame) word against mine. It was decided, and I lost the rest of recess for punching John.
"Gladstone totally never called me."
I have never recovered from that incident. To this day, I get disproportionately angry if I'm falsely accused of lying -- especially because I tend to be a fairly truthful, heart-on-his-sleeve kind of guy. When it happens, I try to be objective. I try to take myself out of it, but I feel that irrational twinge of childhood injustice. How deep did this silly little incident cut? Well, let me tell you a story from sixth grade.
See, I forgot to mention Mrs. Steir was about 903 years old. We were her last class before she retired. And six years later, when she was 909, she came to visit us before we graduated elementary school. A last goodbye. She recognized us all, and remembered all our names. Oh, except for me. So do you know what I did? I stood up in front of my sixth grade class and spoke directly to the worst teacher I've ever had: "Don't you remember me?" I said. "I'm the little boy who cried wolf." I then told her the whole story and how wrong she was. I'd love to tell you she felt awful and apologized, but instead, she had a good laugh that I still remembered such a silly thing. And even after that nearly vindicating experience, I still feel compelled to tell this story to all of you. Yep, broken.
#4. The First Time Someone Takes Your Love
Most of us have loved -- or at least been obsessed with -- someone who didn't love us back. Just ask Cracked's own Soren Bowie. I still return every third bouquet of flowers he sends me just to throw him into a death spiral of self-harm.
This occurred shortly after I set the Build-A-Bear he made for me on fire.
But I'm not talking about mere unrequited love. I'm talking about people who date you, and encourage you to fill your thoughts with them because they like the way that feels. More specifically, I'm talking about the people who do this even though they're positive they don't love you back. That's the tough one. When someone who doesn't love us wants us to fall for them and we do, well, that breaks us.
Let me tell you a story. One day, I was banging my kindergarten teacher on her desk, and ... yeah, sorry. I don't have any stories like that, or at least I don't know how to tell heartbreak stories without sounding maudlin. Do I really need to? Most of you have been in this situation on one end or the other: lovegiver or lovetaker. Maybe both. Probably both. That's the thing about getting broken. Sometimes, you're convinced that revisiting the trauma on the other side of the equation will fix you. It won't.
#3. The First Time You Suffer Injustice Without Consequence
This one started percolating around my mind a couple of weeks ago when I wrote that uber-happy column about college. I had mentioned that college was the first time I saw people do things without consequences, and I referenced an unprosecuted date rapist who'd crawled inside a nearly comatose girl. That's all the information I gave, by the way: a rapist and a near comatose girl. Despite that bare bones description, no shortage of commenters felt the need to defend this person -- this person I'd defined only as a rapist. "He was drunk, too," they said. "She consented!" Or even better, "She's lying!" Yes, commenters accused a fictional construct of being a liar, and they defined the guy known only as "a rapist" as not a rapist.
I don't know this rapist, but I have a good feeling about him!
Mind you, these commenters weren't saying they were once falsely accused of date rape or they personally knew a girl who had seemingly consensual sex with another drunk dude; they were calling the fictional man innocent, and the rape victim a liar. Why would anyone ever feel the need to do that? Well, my guess is, they're broken. Broken by injustice.
Only someone who has seen the good guy lose and the liar prevail too many times could react in such a knee-jerk way to a hypothetical. I really don't think I can make too much of a point of this. It's like taking a math quiz that reads:
Q: A train leaving point A travels at 50 mph toward point B, a hundred miles away. At that same time, a train leaving point B travels toward point A at 30 mph. How far away from point A will the two trains meet?
And deciding to answer it as follows:
A: Who the fuck knows because affirmative action has ruined the conductors' union and I bet he doesn't even know how to drive the train.
But that's how people get when they break. The past abuse colors everything until decisions don't make sense anymore. The specifics almost don't matter: lose too many games of Monopoly to your older brother who always stole from the bank and you might stop trusting board games; lose out on trophies in rigged competitions and you might become blind to any competitor's value; or get betrayed by a man or woman you loved and the credibility of an entire gender can go out the window.

She came to inspire and enjoy the party.
And into week four of Dancing with the Stars Valerie Harper did just that and much more, sending a message of hope by savoring life after she was diagnosed with brain cancer earlier this year.
But on Monday night, sentiment finally yielded to the cold criteria of judging. After another low-scoring performance – this time an 18-point waltz – the 74-year-old star of TV's Rhoda was voted off the show.
She reacted in characteristic fashion. As the audience and fellow dancers cheered and cried, Harper beamed. "It has been absolutely wonderful, completely unique, like nothing else in the world," she said, adding with a smile, "It's really a great thing to get out and dance!"
Her pro partner, Tristan MacManus, fought back tears, saying, "I feel like I've been very lucky."
As for the rest of the competition, it's now down to nine couples vying for the mirror ball trophy. The night featured not one but two instances of male stars dancing without their shirts and marked the return of two-time champion Julianne Hough – the former pro sat at the judging table in place of Len Goodman for the evening. Here's how the rest of the field shaped up:
Despite a bandaged knee, Amber Riley dazzled with a crisp tango so good that Hough didn't have to worry about showing sisterly bias toward Riley's partner, Hough's brother Derek (who had jokingly dropped cash in front of his sister, only to have her bark, "$10. What is that?"). "Holy cow, you are so good!" said the Paradise star, seconded by Carrie Ann Inaba ("Fine form!") and Bruno Tonioli ("Pure unmistakably classic!"). They scored 27 points.
Elizabeth Berkley and a violin-stroking Val Chmerkovskiy tangoed across a mist-filled stage, also to a 27-point score, and high praise. "You've done it, you bewitching fantasy creature fueled by desire," said Tonioli in an outburst that had host Tom Bergeron asking Hough if it was creepier hearing this sort of thing while sitting next to him or from the dance floor.
Proving he's not in high school anymore, Corbin Bleu shed his shirt with a smoldering face-slapping paso doble that the judges said came so close to perfection. "Thank you for doing no gimmicks. You don't need it," said Hough, who nonetheless faulted Bleu on his hip movements. The former High School Musical star and Karina Smirnoff also garnered 27 points.
With sister Kelly Osbourne and his wife of exactly one year cheering him on, Jack Osbourne rebounded from last week's stiff performance with a nifty quickstep with a cranky, TMI-sharing Cheryl Burke ("It's my time of the month," she explained). "I thought you were way more animated this week," said Inaba as the couple earned 24 points. Hough added, "That was such an improvement."
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi shook off the flu for a bubbly cheerleader-themed jive with Sasha Farber. "You are the cutest thing in the world!" said Hough before taking the Jersey Shore star to task for her flailing kicks. The pair also got 24 points.
Leah Remini shimmied in a bodysuit of sparkly fringe to join the 24-point club with a cha cha with Tony Dovolani. "Leah from the block!" said Tonioli. "She was channeling JLo tonight."
Christina Milian and Mark Ballas delivered a 24-point foxtrot in Guys and Dolls gangster garb. Tonioli called the dance "spunky and sultry" but faulted Milian for a lack of control, while Hough surprisingly took a swipe at her pal Ballas for choreography she claimed had him overshadowing his partner.
Brant Daugherty also stripped off his shirt for an undulating salsa that had the women in the audience gasping, "Oh, my God," and compelled a momentarily flustered Hough to note, "I'm single now." Unfortunately, his dance moves didn't match his toned pecs. "That salsa was a little broken," said Inaba. Daugherty and partner Peta Murgatroyd finished with 21 points.
Bill Engvall delighted the ballroom with a samba that had him playing imaginary bongos on partner Emma Slater's plumed behind. "You are the heart of the show," said Hough. Tonioli said the dance was "everything you could ask for in a samba except timing and rhythm." They finished with 21 points and were immediately informed that they were safe this week from elimination.

"All those years you tried your best to break me, and I'm still here. One day you'll see, I'm going to make something of myself." These words were Dave Pelzer's declaration of independence to his mother, and they represented the ultimate act of self-reliance. Dave's father never intervened as his mother abused him with shocking brutality, denying him food and clothing, torturing him in any way she could imagine. This was the woman who told her son she could kill him any time she wanted to–and nearly did. The more than two million readers of Pelzer's New York Times and international bestselling memoirs know that he lived to tell his courageous story. With stunning generosity of spirit, Dave Pelzer invites readers on his journey to discover how he turned shame into pride and rejection into acceptance.

Washington, D.C.—President Obama missed a major fundraising event yesterday due to cancellation of his JetBlue flight. The President had arrived on time at Washington National Airport in a Hertz rental car—a subcompact, according to his press secretary—and had been whisked through security.

"We like to keep a low profile for our jet use." I can't tell you how many times I've heard variations on that line since I arrived at Business Jet Traveler in 2004. It has been a constant challenge to find business jet owners and passengers willing to be profiled in our pages and companies that will go on the record about their use of private aviation.

On Fridays at my daughter's preschool, the children take a designated time out to reflect on the week: what they accomplished, what they're proud of, what they could do better and how they helped others. They set goals for the following week and then spend time discussing their families, their communities and how they can make the world a better place.

For readers, one good thing about Business Jet Traveler and its sister publications is our independence. We're not owned by a company that manufactures or operates aircraft, nor are we beholden to any trade association. Just as important, we don't let advertisers influence our coverage. We need them, of course, to pay the bills and make a profit.

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank$59.99
Pumpease ... busy moms can now pump hands-free.
Check email, pay bills, write your thank you cards, talk on the phone, read a book or tend to your baby, ALL while pumping precious breast-milk for your baby. PumpEase are textile products, with a unique fashion element that enable you to pump hands-free. Made from an 88% polyester/12% spandex high-performance technical fabric, PumpEase will hold your pump in place as securely for your 1000th pumping session as it did for your 1st. Our wonderful fabric is super soft and comfortable, easy to care for, breathable, durable, has exceptional stretch and memory (i.e. won't bag out) and has quick-dry and wicking qualities. And of course it is available in fun and fabulous prints because we all know that women like pretty things!
Why would you need to pump hands-free?
- you would like to multi-task (do other things while pumping)
- you are returning to work
- you want to donate to a Milk Bank
- you are adopting and want to induce lactation
- you need relief from frequent painful engorgement
- your baby has a medical condition, such as a cleft palate or tongue-tie
- your baby was born premature and is still in the hospital
- you have mastitis, milk stasis, a blocked duct or thrush
- you need to maintain your milk supply during a lapse in breastfeeding (e.g. travel, medication, hospitalization)
- your baby does not completely empty your breasts (tongue-tie, ineffective suck, latching problems)
- you want the freedom to be able to leave your baby with your partner or caregiver for a feeding
- your partner wants to feed, and therefore bond with, your baby
- you need to boost your milk production
- you have flat or inverted nipples (pumping can be helpful at drawing out the nipple)
- you gave birth to multiples
SIZING: Keep in mind that we don't recommend being fit for a PumpEase until you are at least 36 weeks pregnant or a minimum of 2 weeks postpartum. PumpEase Hands-Free Pumping Bra fits moms sized from 32AA to 48H. Please reference the size charge above to find your correct size. You can also reference our Bust Point Size Chart which details the measurements between the horn openings for each size of PumpEase.
Why is PumpEase better than any other pumping apparatus on the market?
Flexibility - PumpEase™ can be worn over any nursing bra / cami /dress you choose or over nothing at all.
Quality - PumpEase™ are made from a high-performance technical fabric providing exceptional comfort, stretch and memory, easy care, and quick-dry & wicking qualities.
Innovation - PumpEase™ are designed with patent pending, "no-stitch" horn openings thus accommodating ALL makes and sizes of breast pump horns guaranteed. Our openings also offer more coverage than our competitors (just in case).
Durability - PumpEase™ have bartacks at each end of the horn openings for reinforcement - this is the same type of reinforcement stitching that you can find on your denim jeans.
Accessibility - PumpEase™ have a hook and eye closure at center front so that you can easily put it on, take it off and adjust it for fuller or less full days.
Design - PumpEase™ have no Velcro® which can catch-on and badly snag your other machine washables; Velcro® can also be very noisy when detaching it and if sleeping nearby, this could potentially wake your baby. PumpEase™ also supports hand-compression and massage of your breasts.
Style - PumpEase™ are available in fun and fabulous prints! Why is it that when you become a mom, it's assumed that you no longer have any style?
Better for Baby - The bold graphics and colors of the PumpEase™ fabrics are stimulating to your baby if you pump on one side and nurse on the other. According to Dr. Sears, "The best way you as a parent can stimulate baby's vision is using black and white stripes or light and dark contrasting colors." So what about those nice soft pastels that used to be so popular in baby toys and nurseries? While these may look pretty to you, they do nothing visually for your baby. Research has proven that black and white contrasts register powerfully on baby's retina and send the strongest visual signals to baby's brain. Stronger signals mean more brain growth and faster visual development. Surround a baby with soft pastel colors, and you might as well be blindfolding him. Surround your baby with black and white or light and dark pictures, and watch your baby's eyes light up.

Nothing in the world is certain except death and taxes, Benjamin Franklin suggested more than 220 years ago. What Franklin didn't say, but probably knew, is that political dogfights over taxes are almost as predictable, a point illustrated yet again at last week's presidential debate.
President Obama repeatedly said GOP nominee Mitt Romney has proposed $5 trillion in tax cuts "skewed toward the wealthy" on top of extending the Bush-era tax cuts, which the president wants to end for upper-income families. Obama warned that the result would be deep cuts in spending on things such as education, science, and research - the only way to pay for such a large cut, he said, "without either burdening the middle class or blowing up our deficit."

VIENNA, 3 May 2012 - The Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Kandeh K. Yumkella, will receive the prestigious Global Leadership Award.
The award, presented annually by the United Nations Foundation and the United Nations Association of the USA, salutes leaders from a variety of sectors for their global leadership and support for the United Nations. This year's Global Leadership awardees also include the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu; Variety, the entertainment industry magazine; and Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, Special Rapporteur on Syria and a leading UN independent human rights expert.
Past Honorees include, among others, U.S. President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg.
UNIDO's Yumkella is being honoured for his work on a variety of global issues, including his promotion of the Sustainable Energy for All Initiative, and his contribution to poverty reduction, climate change mitigation and the advancement of the Millennium Development Goals.
UN Secretary-General's Ban Ki-moon's Sustainable Energy for All Initiative sets three inter-linked and complementary goals to be achieved by 2030: ensuring universal access to modern energy services, doubling the global rate of improvement of energy efficiency, and doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
Ban has appointed a high-level group of distinguished leaders in business, finance, government and civil society, which is co-chaired by Director-General Yumkella, and the Chairman of Bank of America, Charles O. Holliday.
"I am honoured to receive this award, and view it an appreciation of the work of UNIDO in general. More than any other multilateral organization, UNIDO has been at the forefront of the industry and environment nexus for many years now", said Yumkella. "Our assistance to countries in tackling poverty through productive activities, or implementing the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, and the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, is clear evidence of that."
The UNIDO Director-General added, "The Rio+20 Conference will bring environmental sustainability together with social and economic development, and is expected to form a blueprint for future global development goals. In the run-up to Rio+20, there is growing agreement that in a resource- and carbon-constrained world, the next phase of globalization should be as green as possible. However, such a shift to a "green economy" must not happen at the expense of the developmental priorities of developing countries, and any definition of "green economy" must provide diverse opportunities for both economic development and strategies for poverty reduction."
UN Foundation Founder and Chairman, Ted Turner, UN Foundation President, Timothy E. Wirth, and UNA-USA Executive Director, Patrick Madden, will take part in the Global Leadership Awards Dinner in New York in October.
"This year's honorees demonstrate that individuals and organizations from all corners of the globe can elevate the UN's work and help the world," said Madden. "American communities applaud the work of these distinguished awardees as they help educate and advocate on behalf of the UN every day."
For over 50 years, the Global Leadership Awards Dinner has called attention to the vital role the UN plays in helping the global community advance peace, prosperity and justice, and recognizes individuals and organizations for their outstanding leadership in furthering the purposes of the United Nations Charter and advancing UN causes—from global health and economic development, to human rights and environmental sustainability.
Named one of "New York's Top 100 Events 2012," the Global Leadership Awards Dinner brings together a distinguished audience of nearly 500 policymakers, diplomats, UN supporters, business leaders, celebrities, and members of the media, as well as UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, UN Goodwill Ambassadors and Messengers of Peace, and representatives from the US Mission to the UN.

In North American lesbian popular culture, the term U-Haul (named after the brand of rental "move yourself" trucks and equipment) is gay slang for a relationship that progresses very quickly, for example moving in together after only a short period of time -- a pattern stereotypically attributed to relationships between two women.

These are Lesbians that after meeting someone tend to move in with that person right away. It is a very unhealthy type of behavior that stems from their inability to date the preferred sex when they were younger for fear of retaliation or chiding.

Another 2013 football recruit has changed his mind about going to Penn State and decided to sign elsewhere.
Will Fuller, who holds the Philadelphia city record for receiving yards in a game, switched his verbal commitment from Penn State to Notre Dame after taking a visit to South Bend, Ind. on Saturday, Brian Dohn of Scout.com reported on Sunday afternoon.
Fuller's announcement came less than 24 hours after Nittany Lion wideout Justin Brown transferred to Oklahoma for his final season. It also comes seven days after he reaffirmed his pledge to Penn State with five other recruits during a group unofficial visit.
Fuller, who originally committed to Penn State in June, is the third 2013 recruit to decommit from Penn State and the second since the NCAA announced unprecedented sanctions on the school in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal; Ohio cornerback Ross Douglas switched from Penn State to Michigan.
The Lions now have 11 verbal commitments in this recruiting class.
