TUPELO – Kim Caron from the Caron Gallery in Tupelo is passionate about art.
"I want art to be available to everyone," she said.
Caron was one of almost 80 vendors Tuesday at the seventh annual Business to Business Connection hosted by the Community Development Foundation in Tupelo and one of 30 new participants in the event this year.
The purpose of the event is to provide a marketplace for businesses who provide services to other businesses.
Caron attended as a spectator last year but decided to set up as a vendor this year.
"Businesses have lobbies and offices want a good, welcoming atmosphere for customers and employees," she said.
So, she decided to set up as a vendor.
With works ranging in price from $40 to $4,000, Caron believes she has something for everyone and wanted to spread that message at the event.
Karen Geddie, vice president of the chamber of commerce at the CDF, said Caron was one of many new vendors at the 2013 event and the first art gallery to attend as a vendor.
Geddie said the largest area of growth was among vendors who are new to the Tupelo area.
According to Geddie, this group of vendors was more diverse than in the past. The CDF, she said, was enthusiastic about the variety of industries they saw and hope for continued diversification.
MyOfficeProducts in Tupelo was not a newcomer, but it did return to the event for the first time in four years.
Markel Whittington, sales manager with MyOfficeProducts, said that despite the financial and time commitments required to participate, exposure received at the event is good for business.
"You can either hope the economy gets better or go out and make your own economy," he said.
The Business to Business Connection concluded Tuesday evening with the Taste of Tupelo, which featured more than 20 area restaurants.

In his first week in office, Bush:
1. Rolled back all the last minute regulatory changes of the Clinton administration, just as Obama rolled back those by Bush.
2. introduced a $1.6 trillion tax cut even as the surplus was disappearing and indicated that he didn't care at all if Democrats supported it since he had won the election.
3. Reversed an Executive order by Clinton that had reversed an executive order by Reagan to reestablish a policy denying any US aid to international organizations or governments that provided information about contraception or abortions. Obama reversed this reversal of a reversal of Reagan's original proclamation. How's that for confusing.
4. Introduced his educational reform program for "no child left behind" in conjuction with a program of vouchers.
5. Created the office of faith based initiatives to funnel taxpayer dollars to religious groups.
6. Reversed US environmental policies wholesale, abrogating a treaty already signed by the US and vowing to open ANWR to drilling.
One may agree or disagree with these policies. At the time, much like Obama, Bush received high grades for leadership in the opening days of his administration and was also attacked for gross partisanship in the priorities he set and the manner in which he pursued them. Shortly after Bush indicated his intention to cancel the anti-ballistic missile treaty and back off of US policies on disarmament and to pursue Ragan's "star war's" missile defense system.
These items were massive reversals in the direction of the country implemented by a President who had lost the popular vote and been appointed president by a partisan SCOTUS in a decision that rewrote two centuries of Constitutional precedent. From Bush's perspective, the situation was simple. However it had happened, he was the President and he intended to use his office to further the agenda on which he had campaigned. Did you really expect less from Obama?

Text in bold is mine...
I agree completely with you that elections have consequences and it should come as no surprise that Obama will attempt to implement many of the ideas that he campaigned on; just as George Bush did. If for the next four/eight years, however, you intend to respond to every criticism of Obama with a tit-for-tat comparison to Bush, then you you have an obligation to be factual in your comparisons.
Phil Gramm AND Democrat Zell Miller introduced their version of Bush's plan. Bush submitted his own plan in early February (day 20 per PBS.org). Your notation that the plan was introduced with the support of one single Democrat is pretty funny and totally misleading, because using that "logic," only one single Republican, Gramm, supported the tax cuts...Gramm and Miller were Co-sponsors. In the end, only 31 Senate Dems voted against the tax cuts vs. 19 who supported it by voting for it or were too chickensh!t to cast a vote against (a de facto vote FOR the tax cut).2. introduced a $1.6 trillion tax cut even as the surplus was disappearing and indicated that he didn't care at all if Democrats supported it since he had won the election. Timeline not correct, and I'd be very surprised if you can provide a quote where Bush said what you claim. On January 22 (Day 2), Phil Gramm introduced the President's plan for tax cuts with the support of a single Democrat, as reported on CNN.com.
What I further found interesting with your misleading "with the support of a single Democrat" line was an attempt to couch Bush as the partisan idealogue trying to ram things down the Democrats' throats early in his administration. I trust that when Obama gets an equal amount of support (or even less) from today's GOP than Bush got from the Democrats in '01 that you'll be accusing Obama of being the partisan idealogue pushing stuff down the GOP's throats, right? Trust me, I won't be holding my breath.Day 10 or day 39 is entirely different than "in the first week." Unless you use some sort of Mesopotamian or Gregorian calender that I'm not familiar with.5. Created the office of faith based initiatives to funnel taxpayer dollars to religious groups. Not so much. Timeline is incorrect. Accordong to PBS.org, the proposed office of faith based initiatives was announced on day 10 with follow up in February (Day 39) when the President indicated that he wanted to funnel $14 billion in new funds through faith based oganizations.And as you've noted, "barely more than 60 days" is a far cry from "in the first week."6. Reversed US environmental policies wholesale, abrogating a treaty already signed by the US and vowing to open ANWR to drilling. What treaty are you talking about? If you were referring to either Kyoto or ABM your timeline is again wrong. And a wholesale reversal of environmental policies would be pretty tough to accomplish since Whitman at the EPA wasn't even confirmed by the Senate in Bush's first week. Which environmental policies do you refer to? You're right. These action actually happened piecemeal over the first 60 days but began well before Whitman was appointed. NPR.org reports "After barely more than 60 days in office, President Bush has placed a distinctive mark on U.S. environmental policy, rolling back campaign promises on clean air, reversing Clinton administration initiatives on drinking water, and promoting new oil exploration in previously protected regions. And now the White House is taking steps to have the U.S. withdraw its support for a landmark 1997 global warming agreement signed in Kyoto, Japan. Environmental Protection Administrator Christie Todd Whitman told reporters the president had "no interest in implementing it." White House spokesman Ari Fleischer was even more blunt."
Sorry to split hairs, but when someone throws out statements of facts like, "in his first week Bush...." I just think think they/we have a good-faith obligation to make sure those facts are correct.

How to Take a Mens Shirt Out on the Town
Designer Jonathan Simkhai lends his borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic to a white shirt
When we asked Laveer's Kate Ciepluch where she got the chic one-shouldered blouse that she donned for our Bazaar.com relaunch party this week, designer Jonathan Simkhai exclaimed, "She raided my closet!" The black and white theme threw Ciepluch, "so I made this shirt for her out of an old tuxedo shirt I had," the designer explains of his best friend. Not surpisingly, the current member of the CFDA Fashion Incubator has a knack for that borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic, one of the mainstays of his collections.
We were so enamored with Ciepluch's look—and Simkhai's high-end D.I.Y.—we asked the designer to share his secret. He did— even providing a sketch of the 4 easy steps.
1) Start with an oversized collared button down shirt.
2) Put one arm through sleeve and adjust the shirt so that the front opening is under the other arm. Button the shirt under your arm at one side.
3) Take the free sleeve and wrap it around across your stomach so that it cinches your waist.
4) Pin the sleeve that is wrapping around your body discreetly in the back with a safety pin—and you're done!
What we loved in particular about Ciepluch's look was how the bib-front shirt added that element of texture and drama to her black skinny pants. But what's so inspiring about this trick is you can pull it off with any mens-style button down. You'll thank us come party season.

Baking | Eggless Almond Honey Wholegrain Cookies … #comfortfood #cookies #eggless #wholegrain
"You'll never convince me that there's more to life than chocolate chip cookies"
Charles M. Shultz
Eggless Almond Honey Wholegrain Cookies … cookies that are meant to be shared! I haven't posted a cookie recipe for a while on PAB. Possibly since I don't make new variations very often, or when I do, I forget to jot the recipe down. Ones that I regularly make are all time favourites like Wholewheat & Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies & these Not Quite Anzac cookies.
That morning I was due to meet a sweet girl who was coming in to meet me from halfway across India. I knew she was a vegetarian and I wanted to bake something eggless for her. Cookies seemed a good idea for the coffee morning. I had some Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry Quark Mousse chilling in the fridge for her too.
Spring has all but given way to summer. Mornings and evenings are beautifully pleasant; the season inspires like no other. Flowers bloom, fruits spill off bazaar shelves, birds chirp, butterflies zip around. Baking is fun in this weather though baking cookies is fun any time!!
The cookies came out delicious, even better since they were packed with nutrition and whole grains. I love the idea of adding nut meal to cookies. In my case I 'have to' since the daughter dislikes nuts with a vengeance. She loves cookies with nut meal though!
I baked another batch soon after as we flew into breathtakingly beautiful Srinagar for a short vacation. It's always nice to carry a 'taste of home' with us. Though Srinagar is known for its little bakeries that dot the length and breadth of the city, my humble cookies were much in demand with the kids too! One look at the ingredients in the recipe and you'll see the cookie goodness I am talking about. Almonds, whole wheat, amaranth {my latest obsession}, oats, and honey instead of corn syrup! Told you … these are deliciously healthy cookies. Indulgent too!
Try them. Cookies don't get simpler than these. One bowl goodness, fun to make, get the kids involved. Do watch them towards the end of baking. Honey in baked goods tends to lead to faster browning. So do keep an eye!
Healthy, fun recipes with amaranth, whole grains, oats {read lots of oats}, unrefined sugars, honey etc have kept me busy of late. I've been involved in doing a project for Saffola Oats here in India.
Shot two recipe videos with the very sweet Michelin Starred Chef Vikas Khanna for Food Food Channel, India as part of the engagement. You can catch the first episode for a Bittersweet Dark Chocolate Gateau {Gluten free} which has been uploaded onto You-tube.
[print_this]Recipe: Eggless Almond Honey Wholegrain Chocolate Chip Cookies
Summary: Eggless Almond Honey Wholegrain Cookies offer deep delicious butterscotch flavour thanks to the brown sugar and butter. Almond meal adds interesting taste, and chocolate chips are thrown in to make another quintessential chocolate chip cookie, this time eggless. These whole grain cookies are nice, chewy if you underbake them a little, and crisp if you bake them longer! Makes approx 2 dozen
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
- 100g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 100g honey
- 1 tsp vanilla bean powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 55g brown sugar
- 100g whole almonds {or almond meal}
- 50g amaranth flour
- 50g whole wheat flour
- 100gm oats
- 50g chocolate chips {I used dark}
- Preheat oven to 150C
- Run the almonds in the processor with the wholewheat flour until you get a fine-meal.
- Heat butter, honey and vanilla bean powder in a pan over low heat till the butter melts. Mix well. {Can do it in the microwave too}.
- Add the baking soda, salt and brown sugar and whisk to mix.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir to form a cookie dough. The dough will be a little stiff.
- Drop tbsp of dough on parchment lined cookie sheets, flatten with the tines of a fork. {I rolled the dough into balls, flattened them slightly with the palm of my hand, and then further flattened them by pressing down with a fork.}.
- Bake for approx 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Leave to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes {they are quite tender when they come out of the oven} , and then transfer on racks to cool completely.
- Thermomix Recipe:
- Run the almonds in the TM bowl with the wholewheat flour on speed 7 for 30 seconds to get a fine-meal. Scrape and repeat if necessary. Turn into a bowl and reserve.
- Place butter, honey and vanilla bean powder into TM bowl. Heat for 2 minutes at 60C on speed 2 until fully dissolved. Place bicarb into bowl and mix for 5 seconds on speed 3.
- Add remaining ingredients and set dial to closed position and mix for 30-35 seconds on interval speed…. then continue as above from step 5.
- Note: Since the dough has honey, the cookies tend to brown faster than normal cookies. I use double cookie trays. Keep an eye on them.

Binghamton University launches BU-Learn
Binghamton University has launched a program which will provide continuing education opportunities for registered nurses and other health care professionals who need continuing education credit for licensure and certification. Known as the Binghamton University Lifelong Enrichment and Advancement for Registered Nurses or BU-LEARN, the program will offer numerous online programs, as well as traditional 'live' programs in topics and time-frames that meet the needs of today's professionals. It will be of particular importance to those in rural and other areas where continuing education opportunities are limited.
Currently on offer is a certificate program in forensic health, which provides training to healthcare professionals in how to serve as liaisons between law and medical science. Covering issues such as child abuse, intimate partner violence, elder abuse and sexual violence, forensic health training is of particular interest to those in nursing, social work, psychology, occupational therapy and anthropology disciplines.
The certificate program covers three modules: forensic health essentials; forensic health of victims; and forensic health of offenders. All three modules are fully online and participants will be able to work at their own pace. (Technically not at own pace. These are cohort-based programs and student must register for and complete these particular classes during a prescribed time period.)
In addition to the forensic health certificate, plans are already underway to offer programs in areas such as primary health care, psychopharmacology, tobacco cessation, and disaster management as well as a rural health conference.
Binghamton University: Decker School of Nursing and Continuing Education and Outreach is an approved provider of continuing nursing education by the New York State Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.

Well, I saw Demolisher today, and he didn't look as bad color wise as I thought. And because you both like him, I picked him. He's not bad, pretty good actually. His arms are too small though. Hypermode is cool, and he's got great articulation.
Went to a Wal-Mart and found the rest of wave three, that being Arcee, Insecticon and Mirage. I pretty much agree with you on the basics, so I won't say anything more.
Mirage is pretty good. He seems a bit loose, but he's got great articulation. The shell is removable of course, but I prefer to just have it stick straight up in bot mode. His hyper mode is kinda blah. I like the launchers on his arms though, and the minicon ports are nice bonus.

Hello turkey hunters . Been too long since made a real visit . It is hard for me to grasp the idea of how rapid time is passing by. It seems like just the other day I was fall hunting the big birds . Yet the spring has come and gone as well as my job . Now , another fall season begins this coming saturday .
I sat in a treestand last saturday evening . In a 30 minute timeframe I watched 3 , 1 1/2 yr. gobblers , and nine deer . I considered one of the deer but decided he was a mite too far for the recurve . One of the gobblers began watching me . He was about 25 yards away with the other two between him and me . I don't know what caught his eye . I know I didn't move . But , a while back I put some new ratchet straps on the stands . BLAZE ORANGE straps. He either came over to check out the strap or maybe my new hat . Possibly the 51/2 inch yellow fletching on my arrows . Either way he came to about 8 steps taking long looks often . At the end of each look he'd reposition his wings up on his back and then move a little more . He probablydid this 4-5 times before feeding away with his two not -so-curious buddies. They were each sporting 6-8 inch beards and were FULL of color .
I have read a few posts lately . Congrats to you hunters that have been stacking up the birds ,and good hunting to you all that are about to start .
Now , Dana, you stay away from your HONEYHOLE for a while or you'll be tagged out yhe first day

Tower Hamlets is the borough east of central London, with very easy access to the city and central London by tube (Central line, District line and the DLR). There are also plenty of buses and night buses running 24/7 from all directions in London.
It forms the core of the East End, home to a lot of exciting history. Tower Hamlets lies east of the medieval walled City of London. Use of the term "East End" in a pejorative sense began in the late 19th century, as the expansion of the population of London led to extreme overcrowding throughout the area and a concentration of poor people and immigrants in the districts that made it up. It was also in these neighborhoods the infamous Jack the Ripper operated in 1888.
Today Tower Hamlets is a diversified borough of London, and the status has increased a lot over the last decade. This is where you find the amazing Brick Lane market, along with many hip bars. 10 minutes' walk from Brick Lane is Shoreditch, which is one of the most popular clubbing areas at the moment.

Reviews of this property
We had trouble finding the reception because the number is between 118 and 26, 25 is the red gate but no number on the door, to find it had to call Mark and we resolved all at once. The girl majisima reception.
As for the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, as it appears in photos. The bed was uncomfortable us something. The closet is very unstable. Super clean.
5 days internet only had one day, the rest was not working.
Tuvimos problemas para encontrar la recepción ya que está entre el numero 118 y 26, el 25 es el portal rojo pero el número no aparece en la puerta, para encontrarlo tuvimos que llamar a Marcos y nos lo resolvió todo enseguida. La chica de recepción majisima.
En cuanto a la habitación, baño y cocina, es tal cual aparece en las fotos. La cama nos resultó algo incómoda. El armario es muy inestable. La limpieza estupenda.
De los 5 días sólo tuvimos internet un día, el resto no funcionaba.
Room is what you see. Small.
Very well communicated.
Building not very clean, room door very simple, wardrobe damaged, bad furniture.
We would not recomend it. It is worth it to pay a little bit more.
It is a pitty: With a little investment, the building and room would be much more comfortable.
Marcos and the people very friendly reception, great site because of the many public transport links into Liverpool Street.
The room was really too discreet, it is to sleep one or two nights at most.
Locker room almost turns because it is very loose, and cleanliness leaves much to be desired.
Overall, scraping approved ...
Marcos y la gente de recepción muy amables, el sitio genial debido a las múltiples conexiones de transporte público en Liverpool Street.
La habitación la verdad demasiado discreta, es para dormir una o dos noches como mucho.
El armario de la habitación casi se vuelca porque está muy suelto, y la limpieza deja mucho que desear.
En general, aprobado raspado...
OK stay. It's like in the photos and everything is very clean even a little viejo.Buena area.
Estancia correcta. Es como sale en las fotos y todo esta muy limpio aunque sea un poco viejo.Buena zona.
My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights in Marco's apartment. We didn't enter the room until 14h because it was not ready.
The room was very tiny, less than 7m2. We can't get dressed at the same time in the room. Nobody cleaned the room during those 3 days.
In the kitchen there were no enough cups for everyone.
The closet was not fixed to the wall and sometimes it moved.
The bed was not very comfortable.
We agreed with Marco to leave the baggage the last day in reception. THey charged us for this and closed reception at 10pm.
Not very good experience.
Nice place to stay, right in center next to bars and next to shoreditch markets. The room is a little bit noisy. Flexible check in
Nothing great in this room, some disadvantages noted for the most sensitive: very poor insulation of the window and neighboring walls, very unstable wardrobe ... However, it offers the bare necessities for a decent rest.
Rien de formidable dans cette chambre, quelques inconvénients à noter pour les plus sensibles : très mauvaise isolation de la fenêtre et des murs voisins, armoire très instable, ... Cependant, elle propose le strict nécessaire pour un repos convenable.
The room is not big, quite small, closet totally unstable, and too noisy to sleep because the window did not isolate well and faced the street, apart from the noise of the other roommates who have not let me sleep. Very good housekeeping happens every day and the only downside of the bathroom that if you throw paper jams.
La habitación no es grande, es bastante pequeña, el armario totalmente inestable, y demasiado ruido para dormir porque la ventana no aislaba bien y daba a la calle , aparte de los ruidos de los otros compañeros de habitación que no me han dejado dormir. Muy bien el servicio de limpieza que pasa todos los días y lo único malo del baño que se atasca si tiras papel.
everything was OK, very helpful and nice host, the room was tidy and the bathroom clean, it is the second time I choose Marcos's rooms to stay in London in such a central position.
The right ratio "price/output".
I warmly reccomend this accomodation to everyone.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption


text: Just found this morning at the Wal-Mart in Wheeling, IL (on Lake-Cook Road). All the recent Wal-Mart exclusives. There were many of the new AT-ST's, Dewback with Sandtrooper, and even the exclusive evolution sets from a couple of months back that I have never seen in the wild. As of 8:00 this morning there was plenty of everything, and this is at a Wal-Mart that usually is bad about current product (the are still a couple of Yarna's in the mix there). Happy hunting!

Europe's Bonus Clampdown Hits Two-Thirds of Fund ManagersKevin Crowley, Ambereen Choudhury and Jesse Westbrook
The European Parliament's vote to cap bonuses in the asset-management industry could affect two-thirds of senior fund managers in the U.K., U.S. funds in Europe and hedge funds open to small investors.
Bonuses should not exceed base salaries for managers of mutual funds regulated by the European Union, known as UCITS, European lawmakers in the economic and monetary affairs committee voted yesterday. The rules would cover 5 trillion euros ($6.5 trillion) of assets in UCITS, which include funds managed outside Europe and some linked to hedge-fund strategies such as John Paulson's New York-based Paulson & Co. and Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC.
"If the final rules are even close to what has been agreed today, then this will fundamentally change the way asset managers are paid," said Jon Terry, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC. Asset managers "are now facing the toughest pay rules across the whole of the financial-services sector."
Flushed with the success of overhauling bank-capital rules that banned bankers' bonuses of more than twice fixed pay, European policy makers are pressing for tougher rules on fund managers to eliminate what German lawmaker Sven Giegold called the industry's "gambler mentality." Fund managers will respond by increasing fixed salaries, moving overseas and pulling products from Europe if they can't dilute the rules, industry lobby groups said.
Parliament Vote
Managers' "base salary will increase, they will relocate to another country or move completely away from any type of EU bank or fund manager," said Hakan Enver, operations director for financial services at recruiter Morgan McKinley. "Financial-services organizations may also become more savvy in the way they remunerate their high-earning employees."
The committee's proposal sets the stage for a vote by the full European Parliament before negotiations with national diplomats can start. The pay curbs are in addition to proposals made by Michel Barnier, the EU's financial-services chief, last year to strengthen regulation of UCITS funds, which are allowed to be sold within the 27-nation trading bloc.
"I would favor something more tailored rather than applying a cap across all financial-services legislation -- especially when you consider that UCITS do not benefit from the same implicit taxpayer guarantee or monopoly on liquidity and intermediation that banks do," said Sharon Bowles, chairwoman of the committee and a Liberal Democrat from the U.K. "I think there will be scope to make adjustments."
'Bonus Culture'
About two-thirds of senior employees who make investment decisions affecting the risk position of a fund receive total pay of more than twice their salary, PwC said.
Cash bonuses and deferred pay are "many multiples" of what European fund managers make in salaries, said Stephen Cahill, head of compensation and benefits for Deloitte LLP in London. "The culture that has been built up for many years is a bonus culture, and it gives companies flexibility to manage costs so when times are good they can pay a lot and when times are bad they pay less."
The rules would apply to any employee working for a European fund-management firm and managers of funds sold in Europe, the London-based Investment Management Association said. Although hedge funds are mostly regulated by the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, which isn't affected, those that sell UCITS products would have to abide by the regulations, according to the European Fund and Asset Management Association.
Hedge Funds
A spokesman for New York-based Och-Ziff declined to comment on the proposal, while Armel Leslie, a Paulson & Co. spokesman, didn't respond to messages seeking comment.
About 5 percent of the hedge-fund industry's $2.3 trillion is structured within UCITS, which stands for Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferrable Securities, according to Hedge Fund Intelligence, a London-based data provider. The biggest UCITS using a hedge-fund strategy is a $1.8 billion product sold by Deutsche Bank AG tied to investments made by Winton Capital Management LLC.
This complicated structure for UCITS is common, making it difficult to determine whose pay may be affected by a potential EU bonus cap. Spokesmen for London-based Winton and Deutsche Bank declined to comment.
Dominic Tonner, a London spokesman for the hedge-fund lobby group Alternative Investment Management Association, declined to comment on the implications of the EU vote. A spokesman for the U.K. Treasury also declined to comment.
'Very Disappointed'
"We are very disappointed with the vote," said Jarkko Syyrila, deputy director general of Brussels-based EFAMA. "We feel this is very unfair. The rules are even tougher than for banks. There is no level playing field."
Yesterday's committee vote was a draft negotiating position, which will be sent to the full European Parliament where it will be voted on again and can be amended. Once that has happened, Giegold, the Parliament's lead lawmaker on the proposal, and a team from the body's economic and monetary affairs committee, will start talks with governments on implementing the final version. After they thrash out a deal, it will be confirmed by the Parliament and ministers before being sent to individual parliaments for implementation.
"There's a better chance of getting this diluted because Parliament is more divided on fund manager pay than it is on the issue of bankers' pay," said Irving Henry, prudential specialist at the London-based IMA, which represents U.K. fund managers. "Banks are seen as far more political and toxic."
'Greater Protection'
One reason why the Parliament has been so tough on fund managers is they are concerned banks could bypass their own rules by moving risk-taking employees and traders into their asset-management divisions, Henry said. "They need a victory at least on the banking framework before they can ease up elsewhere," he said.
The "vote would ensure greater protection for investors and help reduce excessively risky speculation," Giegold, 43, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. "The rules as voted would be an important step toward ending the gambler mentality in the investment fund sector."
Giegold is a founder of the German branch of ATTAC, which was set up in France in 1998 and seeks to have financial markets and global trade regulated and tax havens closed. The organization last year invaded a meeting of the European Parliament's economic and monetary affairs committee, which deals with financial regulation.
One way of achieving Giegold's goal of aligning the interests of investors and fund managers is to increase disclosure of compensation in the industry, according to Christopher Traulsen of Chicago-based Morningstar Inc., which tracks mutual funds.
"Regulators need to step up and require accurate disclosure of the names, tenures and prior experience of the individuals responsible for managing the fund and the structure of their incentive pay," he said in an e-mail. "We believe this would achieve many of the sought-after benefits without imposing an actual cap on the level of incentive pay."

I can't remember the last time I pulled a double header. I think the last time was when I went to see Crow 2 (CHRIST that sucked), and it was so bad I had to go see something else to get my mind off of it. So we went over to the Very Brady Sequel. That made me feel much better.

Vuyisile Colossa Back In Muay Thai Action at Thai Fights
- Written by Dave Walsh
September is a busy month for Vuyisile Colossa, the man who is fast developing a reputation as the top Muay Thai fighter in the world of MMA. The main difference between the South African and most mixed martial artists from a stand up background is that his still competes in his original style of fighting at the very highest level and will be fighting in both disciplines in the space of a few weeks.
ONE Fighting Championship was the biggest Asian MMA event of the year and was witnessed by an audience of almost 7,000 people in the Singapore Indoor Stadium and many, many more watching around the world on an internet stream. The event was a phenomenal success and so was Colossa who put in one of the most impressive performances of his career to stop Sanda specialist Ma Xing Yue early in the first round.
Most men would have taken a few weeks off to enjoy the moment and reflect on a victory which will have been seen by more people than any other fight in his career. Not Colossa, he was back training two days later for a Muay Thai fight on September 25th which will see him take on Nishikawa Tomoyuk in the quarter finals of the Thai Fights >70 kgs tournament which also features two times K-1 winner Buakaw Por Pramuk.
There can be few fighters in the world who would make two such high profile appearances in the space of a few weeks and if Colosas could follow up his win at Asia's most prestigious MMA event with another victory at the highest profile Muay Thai show on the planet right now September could be a very good month for the Cheetah.
He will also be coming to a TV screen near you on AXN's reality Muay Thai series 'The Challenger' although fortunately for Colossa the filming for this was completed month's ago. His focus may now be on his fight with Tomoyuk at Rangsit Stadium on the outskirts of Bangkok but it appears that ONE Fighting Championship's inaugural event left a lasting impression,
"One FC's first show was the beginning of the new age of MMA in Asia and I was honoured to be a part of it!! I had never fought in front of so many fans and they they gave me more energy for the fight. I was happy because I I wanted a KO and I got it but I was disappointed not to get knock out of the night bonus, scoring the One FC quickest KO in 49sec I think I deserved the bonus," he said.
Colossa can probably count himself a little bit unlucky not to have been awarded the bonus which would also have seen him pick up a $5,000 cheque but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. ONE Fighting Championship have ambitious plans for expansion and Colossa is very much a part of those plans, having been told that he has another 10 fights lined up.
With ONE FC set to put on events in multiple countries during 2012 MMA looks likely to take over Colossa's career but he is determined to continue to compete in Muay Thai and feels it can only help his development as a mixed martial artist ,
"Muay Thai is what makes me stronger in MMA, as long as I am fighting in the higher level of Muay Thai no one in the world of MMA is going to stand with me. If you do you get knocked out!"
He is one of the favourites to reach the final of the Thai Fights >70 kgs tournament although much will depend on whether he can avoid being drawn against Buakaw in the semi finals. Colossa has already recorded a win over top Thai fighter Yodsaenklai, coming back from a knockdown to win a decision in Guinea, but he might find it a little more difficult to win a decision over Buakaw in Thailand.
September could be just the start of a frantic period of fighting and training for Colossa who has multiple MMA fights on the horizon as well as the prospect of three Muay Thai fights, assuming he is successful in the Thai fights tournament. Alistair Overeem is a good example of a fighter who has managed to pursue a career in two elite level combat sports but the K-1 Champion and Strikeforce Heavyweight champion only needs to fight two or three times per year. Colossa by contrast is fighting multiple times per month but he feels that the more he competes the quicker he improves,
"I work hard during training, so that I can improve in every fight whether it be MMA or Muay Thai. To be at the top of the game is all about how much time you spend preparing for the competition and I feel I am ready to fight anyone."
Another mixed martial artist to try his hand at Muay Thai was Akihiro Gono who lost a decision to Yohan Lidon at the last Thai Fights show in Japan. Gono was widely tipped to be a participant in the Thai Fights >70 kgs tournament but these rumours never came to fruition. However he was pictured in the VIP area at ONE Fighting Championship 1 leading multiple MMA websites to suggest he was on the verge of signing for One FC.
Although a fight between the two men in the Thai Fights tournament is not going to materialize they could yet meet in the cage a prospect which Colossa claims he would welcome,
"Akihiro Gono one of the great fighters from Japan and I would definitely like to fight him at One Fighting Championship. He never fought anyone like me and I am sure I would knock him out," he said.
It would be an interesting prospect as Colossa's stand up pedigree is vastly superior but Gono is an MMA thoroughbred who has faced the likes of Dan Henderson, Matt Hughes and Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua'. Colossa is already checking out potential One FC opponents but he also has his hands full with an innovative new competition he is organizing in Hong Kong, which will give normal working people the opportunity to become fighters.
The White Collar Asian MMA Championship is organized by City Fight Club, Colossa's business, and will give contestants the opportunity to train with the Cheetah for bouts in boxing, Muay Thai, grappling and ultimately MMA. There have been no shortage of applicants and Colossa feels it is important for people with more normal jobs to get to experience the thrill of competition,
"A fight is a moment which someone will remember for the rest of their life and most people don't get many of those at work every day. I want to give people the opportunity to get in the best shape of their lives and to feel the thrill of competing and testing their new found martial arts skills in front of their friends and family here in Hong Kong," he said.
The participants will all be trained by Colossa himself and it is an innovative idea which appears to have caught the imagination of people in Hong Kong. For more information visit: www.cityfightclub.tv

Hi hi!
I have another nailpolish to feature today - and be prepared for lots more nailpolish showcases in the next few entries! :)
This is Darling Diva Polish Ringer - a sheer jelly purple-ly base with shimmering bits. They appear gold and reddish in my pictures, but the color description states "<span>A sheer blurple jelly base with copper red to green shifting shimmer" - I don't detect the green, but the shimmer is definitely coppery red.
</span>I decided to pair it with a complimenting creamy base, OPI Funkey Donkey - and the combo reminds me of MAC Trax eyeshadow - a warm purple with golden sheen.
I love how the shimmer is subtle yet it shows up very clearly. The formula is very smooth, and one coat gives you sufficient sheen and add dimensional to a creamy base.
Darling Diva Polish retails for S$15, and they can be purchased from Mei Mei's Signatures.

Pretty or what? Love it!
Hope these swatches have been helpful!

Serves 10 to 12
Loads of ground bittersweet chocolate and walnuts held together with meringue produce a moist, deceptively light cake with a speckled (tweedy) appearance and intense chocolate flavor—without flour or even egg yolks. It's perfect for Passover, and, of course, it's gluten free. Whipped cream on top accentuates the flavor of the nuts and balances the jolt of bittersweet. Glorious, and simple as can be.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
Pulse the walnuts with 1 Tbs. of the sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Scrape the nuts into another bowl. Use a paper towel to wipe excess oil from the sides of the processor bowl, add the chocolate with 1 Tbs. sugar, and pulse until it forms crumbs ranging in size from coarse meal to 1/4-inch bits. Add the chocolate to the nuts, along with the orange zest, if using, and salt, and stir to combine. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar in a large clean, dry bowl at medium speed until the egg whites are creamy white and soft peaks are formed when the beaters are lifted. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating at medium-high speed until the egg whites are glossy and stiff but not dry.
Pour half of the chocolate mixture over the egg whites and fold in with a
large rubber spatula until nearly incorporated. Repeat with the
remaining chocolate mixture, folding just until evenly incorporated.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the torte is puffed and golden brown on top and springs back when gently pressed with your fingers; a toothpick inserted in the center should come out moist and possibly stained with melted chocolate, but not coated with raw batter. Set the pan on a rack to cool. Slide a thin knife or a small metal spatula around the sides of the torte to release it from the pan. Remove the pan sides and transfer the cake to a serving platter.
Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream.
The torte can be kept at room temperature, covered or under a cake dome, for up to 3 days, or frozen, well wrapped, for up to 3 months; bring to room temperature before serving.

Chapter Summary
Molecular Biology focuses on DNA and how proteins are made. DNA contains the information used to make RNA. RNA leaves the nucleus and, together with a ribosome, makes proteins. The genetic code is the universal code that all life uses to turn the language of nucleotides into the language of amino acids. Mistakes in the DNA or RNA sequence can have dangerous consequences for the organism, though these same "mistakes" are the driving force of evolution. Regulating the specific timing of genes is an important process for cells in every organism to function properly.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Mississippi State is back for another Gator Bowl.
The Bulldogs are reporting here today to resume preparations for their New Year's Day matchup with No. 21 Northwestern (9-3) of the Big Ten. MSU (8-4) is playing in its second Gator Bowl in three years.
It defeated Michigan, 52-14, two years ago.
Quarterback Tyler Russell, who was a backup at the time, knows what to expect.
"Bowl games are supposed to be fun, and you can have fun when you're not doing football stuff, but when it's time for the game you've got to be ready and focused to play," Russell said
The Bulldogs will begin practices Thursday at the University of North Florida. All practices are closed to the public.
As for fun, there will be team outings at the beach and at Latitude 30, a self-described "luxury entertainment venue." Players will also pay a visit to Wolfson Memorial Children's Hospital this week.
Northwestern also reports today, and its practices (also closed) will be held at Jacksonville University. The Wildcats will keep a similar off-the-field itinerary as MSU's.
The game will kick off at 11 a.m. Central time on Tuesday at EverBank Field, home of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, and will be televised by ESPN2. It's the first meeting between MSU and Northwestern.
State has won five consecutive bowl games, while Northwestern has lost nine in a row.

It's tough to escape copyright infringement in a digital age. As enticing as it might seem, you can't legally use any image you've found online and throw it in your blog or use it for commercial purposes. The bulk of the images on the web are subject to copyright — meaning the photographer or creator of a particular image retains exclusive rights to that image — and are therefore protected under federal law. Luckily, there is an entire realm of free-for-all images that fall under something called "public domain."
Public domain images are available to anyone and can be used for whatever purpose you like, even commercial use, for a variety of reasons: the copyright may have expired, the images could have been taken by a government branch, or the owner may have just forfeited his or her rights for whatever reason. And, although there is a ton of places to find public domain images online, many of the sites offer limited and lackluster results that are more of an eyesore than eye candy. Here are choices for the best places to go to download public domain images. Have at it.
DISCLAIMER: Copyright properties and conditions vary from one image to the next. Make sure you have a firm understanding of the license and abide by any restrictions it may have in order to avoid legal penalties and action. Publish at your own risk.
Our favorites
Creative Commons
Creative Commons is one of the best choices for public-domain content, whether you're looking for photos, audio, or something else. The site's handy search utility allows you to enter a search term in the upper-right corner and filter the results based on Flickr, Fotopedia, Pixabay, Google Images, and a number of other reputable spots for hosting photos.
Keep in the mind that the site searches for images that have Creative Commons licenses, meaning the images might not necessarily fall under public domain, but they can often still be used under certain conditions. The site should also automatically search for content that can be used commercially and otherwise, but it's a good idea to double-check the license just to be on the safe side.
EveryStockPhoto has an attractive, yet easy-to-navigate interface and displays some of the most popular searches on the left-hand side for easy access. When you use the built-in search bar, the site compiles images from a wealth of resources and showcases them in a classic thumbnail view or a column view that sorts them; once you click an image, EveryStockPhoto will show you the photographer, the license type, resolution, and a few other tidbits of information. Unfortunately, you must register for a free account depending on the image source.
Wikimedia Commons
With more than 16 million media files available for free, Wikimedia is another great tool for finding different kinds of public-domain content. Users curate the elaborate site – uploading, tagging, and categorizing the files – and most of the content is available and can be modified as long as you attribute the original author or licenser.
Wikimedia features a fairly extensive list of categories, from nature to engineering, and there is even a public domain category to greater filter your results. When using the search bar in the upper-right corner, try entering "PD" before your search term to limit the results exclusively to public domain images. For instance, try searching "PD Abraham Lincoln" to show only public domain images of the late president.
Flickr doesn't just house millions and millions of protected images. It is also a great source for finding Creative Commons-licensed material and some that has made its way into the public domain spectrum, as well. The site features a wide array of images and the comprehensive search function allows you to sift through images much quicker than the built-in image browser.
Like the rest of the sites in our roundup, it's best to to avoid any legal trouble by looking at what the original content owner's restrictions on the image are. Some images on Flickr aren't subject to copyright at all and thereby can be used for anything (including commercial purposes), while others merely require a simple attribution or hyperlink back to the source. Be sure to check out the Library of Congress' photostream for a great collection of historical images.
Im Free
If you're looking for a place to download a collection of resources for both personal and commercial projects, IM Free offers everything you need, whether you're building a personal blog or a business page. IM Free bills itself as "a curated collection of free web design resources, all for commercial use," meaning that the assets can be used in for-profit websites. However, it's important to note the commercial use clause, as many images and textures are free to download but lack a free license. Unlike our previous pick, Textures.com (formerly CG Textures), IM Free has a stronger concentration on stock images and offers a variety of tools for designers, including templates, icons, and buttons. On the stock photography side, IM Free handles all model and location releases, so you don't have to — just make sure to verify if the image you're using requires an attribution.
Unsplash is not your typical stock photography website. It doesn't feature a search button or different categories to choose from, but rather, functions solely as a Tumblr page featuring beautiful high-resolution photos submitted by different users. Ten new photos are added every 10 days, all of which you can download. Photos vary from animal close-ups and landscapes to automobiles and intimate portraits, but sadly, there isn't a way to search for specific images. Get used to casual browsing and stockpiling photos for future use.
Dreamstime has a similar look and feel to Shutterstock, but includes a selection of free photos as well. The site does ask for a user sign-in, and there are some photos that require credits to download, but it does have a substantial selection of free images. In fact, compared to the other sites in our roundup, Dreamstime has the best variety, given it pulls from Creative Commons and many other websites. The search is accurate, too, so long as you keep your search queries broad. It also offers a slew of generic categories to browse through, if you're looking for something less specific.
Death to Stock Photos
Death to Stock Photos is not what you might expect. Co-founders David Sherry and Allie Lehman noticed it can be difficult to find compelling photos for free use on blogs and personal websites, so they decided to offer their own. Once you sign up for a free subscription, you will receive a pack of photos with their accompanying stories each month. For an additional $10 a month, you'll gain access to the couple's entire library and receive an extra pack of photos to your inbox every month. Part of that money goes to different artists, allowing for greater variety in the library.
Unlike waterfalls or puppies, photos of space can be more difficult to capture for the home photographer. NASA is the place for all of your cosmic and space picture needs. They offer mind-blowing photos they've taken over the years, for free. The site has a number of galleries you can go through to find something you need. Whether it's retro ones like Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon, the Mars surface shot by Curiosity, or something more recent like a cosmic ring.
Pexels offers photos that carry a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license, which pretty much means there are no strings attached. You don't have to attribute the photos to the photographers, and you are free to edit them and redistribute. The photos are sourced from either Pexels users or other websites that offer free-to-use images, including Unsplash (see above) and Little Visuals. The company says it has 10,000 free stock images available, and it adds at least 1,500 new ones every month. Karma is good: If you use Pexels often, consider contributing CC0 images to its portfolio, so you can return the favor to other creatives.
There is a lot of outer space to cover, so if you don't find what you're looking for with NASA, SpaceX has made all of its spectacular photos available in the public domain. The world was informed of this exciting news by Elon Musk on Twitter – what a world we're living in! SpaceX is a young, private company, so unlike the government-run NASA, it has no obligation to give up the rights to their photos. Lucky for us, they decided to throw us a bone and put awe-inspiring pictures on Flickr for free.

Blaye is the largest and the most northern of Bordeaux's band of Côtes. The region—which lies along the milk chocolate Gironde, just across from the Médoc—sits atop of the Côtes de Bourg (which we'll cover in more detail next week) like a cartoonish conglomeration of furniture tied atop a tiny sedan.

What We Do
The Children, Youth & Family Consortium (CYFC) works to improve the lives of children, youth, and families by supporting and creating new knowledge and encouraging the use of evidence-based knowledge in practice and in public and private policy development related to children, youth, and family issues. Our various programs (see Our Programs for a complete description) are intended to:
- Design, implement, and evaluate evidence-based educational programs to enhance community professionals' practices and inform policies relevant to children, youth, and families.
- Generate or facilitate research relevant to practice and policymaking on the issues and needs of children, youth, and families.
- Engage communities in respectful, reciprocal partnerships aimed at reducing inequities in educational and health outcomes for children, youth, and families.
- Infuse principles of engagement, research and an ecological perspective to enhance our partners' work to promote positive educational and health outcomes for children, youth, and families.
- Create a supportive academic culture for community-engaged scholarship.
CYFC's work is directed by a set of perspectives and guiding principles. Information on these perspectives and principles, and related CYFC program examples, is provided below.
Children, youth, families, and the communities in which they live are multi-dimensional. Their strengths as well as the problems they encounter are not the purview of a single discipline. Complex problems require solutions that integrate the best of multiple areas of inquiry and diverse ways of knowing in order to be successful.
The well-being of children, youth, and families is shaped, at least in part, by the reciprocal influence of multiple systems and environments in which the individuals live and interact, as illustrated by CYFC's Circles of Influence model (465 K PDF). These include the social environment, made up of family, neighborhood, workplace, schools, community, religious institutions, policy, law, media, society, culture, and more. It also includes the natural and designed environments. For an example, see the Children's Mental Health Case Studies.
Development occurs at every stage of life, with each developmental stage influencing the next. All individuals go through processes of change throughout their lives that have lasting effects on their well-being. Over time, the interaction of innate or biological factors (such as maturation) and environmental factors shape an individual's life course. For an example, see Wonder Years.
Guiding Principles
CYFC aligns its work with the threefold land grant mission of the University of Minnesota — teaching, research, and outreach — by modeling and encouraging the adoption of public engagement methods and principles in the implementation of research and teaching.
CYFC partners with stakeholders in reciprocal relationships — characterized by reciprocity, respect, trust, authenticity, communication and commitment — to insure mutual benefit and accountability.
CYFC embraces and respects the various experiences, perspectives, knowledge and values that come from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, world views, faith systems, sexual orientations, physical and mental capacities, and stages of life. For an example, see the Cultural Providers Network.
CYFC contributes balanced, evidence-based information to policy conversations. CYFC's work, including policy work, is grounded in research. We are non-partisan and support no specific political position, party, or ideology. For an example, see Wonder Years.
Strengths and Assets-based
CYFC identifies and highlights the assets and strengths of children, youth, families, and communities and builds on them to develop solutions and strategies to address needs and problems. For an example, see the Children's Mental Health Case Studies.

For Porsche, wave of new models, fatter dealer profits on horizon
Three redesigned cars in 12 months isn't a big deal for most car companies. But it is for Porsche.
Porsche has only five model lines and by year end, three of its four cars will have been overhauled. The redesigned Porsche 911 coupe and convertible went on sale Feb. 4. The third-generation Boxster roadster debuts in June and the redesigned Cayman coupe comes at year end.
And more new product is coming. A diesel-powered Cayenne SUV debuted at the New York auto show and goes on sale in September. Over the next two years, Porsche will roll out the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar, the all-new Macan compact SUV and more variants of the 911.
Porsche expects U.S. sales to grow to about 50,000 units in the next five to six years, up from 29,023 in 2011.
The tidal wave of new product and anticipated rise in volume means U.S. dealer profits will grow and they can invest in their dealerships, says Detlev von Platen, CEO of Porsche Cars North America.
The average Porsche dealership has a 3.2 percent return on sales, von Platen says. According to NADA industry analysis data, the average return on sales for U.S. dealers in 2011 was 2.3 percent.
But Porsche isn't developing a new facilities program for its 194 dealers, von Platen says. He and Porsche's top U.S. managers have met with every dealer this year to discuss and set up individual growth and expansion plans. Some will have to expand their showrooms, von Platen says.
Von Platen says Porsche Cars North America is also making substantial investments. It will spend $100 million on a new headquarters with a test track, museum, dealer training center, customer shops and a restaurant in Atlanta and a "Porsche Experience Center" near the Los Angeles airport on 51 acres with even more features.

It's odd how some books I read end up connecting so well with others I've recently finished.
Mary Coin by Marisa Silver. I bought this hardcover book to help the school's book faire at B&N, and its connection to The Grapes of Wrath. Based on Dorothea Lange's famous photo "Migrant Mother," it creates a fictionalized history of the woman (Mary) with her family, Lange (Vera dare) who photographed her, and a college history professor (Walker Dodge) who finds out some background about the iconic picture. It follows all three in their separate time periods, with some unexpected plot details that emerge. It began the way I thought it would, but the last 1/4 of the book surprised me; I liked it.
The Jim Plunkett Story by Jim Plunkett and Dave Newhouse. The football star wrote this autobiography the year after he won the MVP of Super Bowl XV. Very simple in style, but with interesting references and minute details of specific key games in his college and pro career. He mentioned G of W and the Central Valley region of CA where he grew up.
For the summer, I don't expect to read as many books as I have in past summers, but I've passed the 3000-page mark, with 11 books so far.

Antelopes clinch at least a tie for 1st
School's previous boys section championship was 40 years agoJanuary 30, 2014 12:07 AM
Classes resumed late Wednesday morning at Avonworth High School after the cold weather forced a two-hour delay. Later, the Antelopes ended a delay that had lasted 40 years.
Jamal Hughley scored a career-high 18 points as host Avonworth clinched at least a share of its first section title since 1974 with a 57-48 win against Quaker Valley.
"I'm glad I wasn't the coach here for 40 years. That's a long time," said Avonworth coach Dan Bradley, who is in his fifth season.
By defeating Quaker Valley for the second time this season, Avonworth (14-3) improved to 10-0 in Class AA Section 6, giving the Antelopes a bit of a cushion over the second-place Quakers (16-2, 7-2). With two section games left, the worst the Antelopes can finish is 10-2.
In front of a packed gym, Avonworth used a 10-0 fourth-quarter run to build a sizeable advantage. Soon after, its students rushed the court to celebrate.
After Quaker Valley's Qadir Taylor scored to cut the deficit to 46-44 with 3:39 left, Avonworth took command in a hurry. Josh Drwal started the decisive run with a basket and, after Hughley scored on a layup with 54 seconds left, the Antelopes held a 56-44 lead. The Quakers made only three field goals in the fourth quarter.
"We were playing from behind, so we took some chances. To their credit, they made all the right decisions the last four minutes of the game," Quaker Valley coach Mike Mastroianni said.
Hughley, a 6-foot-1 sophomore forward, was a force inside for the Antelopes. He scored 10 consecutive Avonworth points in the first quarter, was 8 for 8 from the free-throw line, and added 10 rebounds and 4 blocked shots.
"Coach told us over and over that tonight's the night," Hughley said. "We're here on our home turf and we had to defend it."
Eric Gallupe had 14 points and Adam Joyce 10 for Avonworth. Jesse Zubik came off the bench to score six consecutive points to begin the fourth quarter.
Taylor finished with a team-high 16 points for Quaker Valley, which was held to a season low in points.
Avonworth led by as many as seven points in the first quarter, but Quaker Valley dominated the second, outscoring the Antelopes, 20-8, to take a 29-22 halftime lead. Avonworth went on a 13-2 run at the start of the third quarter to go ahead, 35-31, then took the lead for good when Hughley made two free throws to make it 40-39.
The victory was another big step for Avonworth, which a year ago earned its first playoff berth since 2001. The program has gone through some rough years, including winning just six games combined in the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons.
"We've worked hard here the last five years," Bradley said. "The guys have played a lot of ball. We have guys with good basketball heads and IQ's. It's paying off."
