Born in West Virginia, Florence Blanchfield trained as a nurse and joined the Army in 1917. After serving in several theaters of war, she was appointed supervisor of the Army Nurse Corps in 1943. Under Blanchfield's administration the Amry Nurse Corps grew from 1,000 to 60,000 nurses during World War II. Though nurses suffeed casualties, were taken prisoners of war, and were decorated for their wartime service,
they were still not afforded all the rights and privileges of regular officers. Blanchfield fought for laws in 1947 that established the Army, Navy and Air Force Nurse Corps on a permanent basis— as well as equal rights and pay. She was the first nurse granted a regular Army commission, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.
Early Life and Education
Florence Aby Blanchfield was born on April 1, 1884, in Shepherdstown, Virginia. As the head of the Army Nurse Corps, Florence Blanchfield championed women's rights within the military. She fought for her nurses to be granted full rank, which meant they would get the same payment and benefits as their male peers. Before Blanchfield, women had only relative rank. She became the first woman to receive a military commission in the Regular Army in 1947.
Blanchfield attended the public schools of Walnut Springs, Virginia, before being sent to boarding school at the Granda Institute. Initially, she pursued business in college, taking secretarial courses in Pittsburgh, then switched to medicine, enrolling at the South Side Training School for Nurses. After her graduation in 1906, she furthered her studies at several medical institutions, including Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Career in the Army Nurse Corps
Upon completing her advanced training, Florence Blanchfield worked a series of nursing jobs. She even went to Panama in 1913 to work as a nurse on the Panama Canal project. Four years later, Blanchfield joined the Army Nurse Corps. World War I was raging in Europe, and she spent two years in France, helping to tend the wounded. After the war, Blanchfield worked in a number of army hospitals around the world, including in the Philippines and in China.
In the 1930s, Blanchfield went to work for the Office of the Superintendent at the Army Nurse Corps. She became the assistant to Superintendent Julia Flikke in 1939 and was promoted to captain. When Flikke retired in the mid-1940s, Blanchfield took over her post. She then became as a colonel of relative rank, which meant she received the benefits and pay of a lower rank than her own.
During World War II, Blanchfield supervised close to 60,000 nurses at home and abroad. She toured military medical facilities around the world. Perhaps one of her greatest challenges was finding nurses for the corps. Army nurses were not allowed to marry, and any of those who did get married while in the corps were then discharged.
Blanchfield took her concerns about the disparity in payment and benefits for women in the army to Congress. She fought for full rank for herself and her nurses and won the battle in 1944, albeit on a temporary basis.

Mayor of Turkish City 'Batman' Is Suing Christopher Nolan And Warner Brothers
Huseyin Kalkan, the mayor of Batman, Turkey, is suing (director) Christopher Nolan and Warner Brothers for using the name of the city in The Dark Knight without his permission. In other news, Batman may have elected a retarded mayor. And should totally sue this little twerp.
"There is only one Batman in the world," Kalkan said. "The American producers used the name of our city without informing us."Kalkan claims he has evidence, which will show the city of Batman was founded before the 1939 debut of Bob Kane's DC Comics superhero by the same name.
Wow. Just wow. It all makes sense now. I mean, Batman, Turkey is like the crime-fighting capital I've never heard of. Why has this been a non-issue for the past 70 years? Simple -- stupid mayors. Somebody send that city a big bag full of cash, pronto.

Nike Air Max 360 Diamond Griff
March 28th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 6 comments
Nike Sportswear adds another epilogue to the Ken Griffey Jr. trainer saga with a style that borrows from a model that retroed for the first time about a year ago. The Nike Air Max 360 Diamond Griff is a Dynamic Flywire-equipped riff on the Total Griffey Max '99, as made evident by wavy midsole tooling that imitates the 99′s signature element. Tonal grey colorups hadn't reached maturity back when the original design debuted and haven't been prominent in recent NSW Junior bringbacks, so this one is perhaps an even stronger mix of past and present. Decide for yourself after seeing more of the Dark Grey Diamond Griff below, then grab yours at select retailers like Sneaker Bistro.

It would be easy to look at the state of the economy and conclude that we haven't made much progress in our struggle to return to prosperity.
While the unemployment figures show some signs of improvement, they could be illusory in that so many people have just plain given up looking for work.
Productivity and housing figures just don't give very conclusive encouragement for optimism.
On the other hand, the stock market burst through the 15,000 mark and doesn't show any sign of slowing down, even if the causes of the acceleration are filmy at best. Economists would surely feel better about the unrelenting upward trend if they could only point to the reasons for it.
This all appears to add up to just as much uncertainty on the economy as polls have claimed for the last couple of years.
A recent survey by American Express found that small businesses — particularly those in New York state — not only don't see or foresee a dramatic economic turnaround, they have begun to believe one isn't coming. What we're seeing now is what we'll have to live with from now on.
The survey is conducted by what's called American Express Open, which claims to be the leading payment-card issuer for small businesses in the United States.
The most striking finding in the survey was that 57 percent of small-business owners in New York now believe the current economy is the "new normal." That compares with 52 percent nationally and 51 percent in the Northeast.
Two-thirds nationally, regionally and in the state are still stressed out over the economy, and slightly over half have a positive outlook. Only a third nationally (40 percent in New York) believe the economy is recovering.
Yet almost 4 out of 5 on all levels still feel the American dream is attainable. And 4 out of 5 plan to increase their businesses in the next six months, though only one-third plan to hire, plan to give raises and expect higher sales over the next six months.
Nationally, only 45 percent offer employees health-care coverage; 51 percent in the Northeast, but 68 percent in New York. That seems to reflect the recent debates school districts are having over employee benefits in light of state and taxpayer directives to be more frugal in spending on health care.
If these business leaders are right — and who sees better the practical applications of economic trends than owners of small businesses? — then talk of recovery is hollow. This could be the new environment in which we are all operating. Businesses have learned to conduct their affairs in a leaner setting, in which revenues are thinner and, thus, so are expenses.
We hope that, in terms of recovery, there's more to come. These experts say make the best of what you have, because it may be all you're going to get.

I am working on Mac Lion and have learned in some tutorials that duplicates files in your system kill too much of free space and that (Lack of free space) could be one of the reasons of Slow performing Mac.
So, I want to know the tips to find duplicate files in Mac Lion and method to delete them.
Thanks in advance....
It depends on what duplicate files you want to find. Some system files are duplicated and essential in running your mac other can be caused by a software. Disk recovery softwares duplicate files and make them invisible. So when you accidentally delete a file it can recover it using the invisible duplicated copy. What type of files you want to delete? Cache, system files or user files?
The system files may be somehow important for machine but cache and duplicate user files are extremely useless. These must be deleted.
Ok. There are free softwares out there you can delete too. Try onyx or maintenance. They are by the same developer, click here . I also recommend you to use AppCleaner to uninstall your apps and not just simply trash it. If the softwares you want to remove and built in uninstall program use that one. AppCleaner helps to delete all folders and files related to that app. Hope this information helps:)
In Appcleaner, i don't find any option for duplicate files. I am still searching for a cleaner for Mac duplicate files
It seems you misread my post above. Appcleaner is a uninstaller software that makes sure that app is remove cleanly and any files or folder related to it will be also deleted. Try the below softwares, they maybe what you are looking for.
Good luck. And you can also go the macupdate.com and search for some softwares that remove duplicate files. The website hold the world largest mac software library.
Softpedia.com is a nice mutiplatform site for software.
You could roll your own Automator action or applescript to look for duplicates as well.
Here are some articles on this topic:
Have you heard of a new duplicate finder for Mac OS X called Gemini? It is currently featured in Mac App Store, take a look at it too. Users say in reviews it is extremely beautiful and efficient, thus totally worth its money.:)
Or you can use this for free. I hate the app store.
If you want something that will also remove the duplicates let me know.
I use this free tool to Find Similar Files in windows. Give it a try...it provides impressively good results.

A routine traffic stop in St. Albans led to the arrest of a man and a woman on drug charges.
About 5 p.m. Tuesday, patrolmen D. Meadows and P. Bass pulled a car over for running a stop sign at Fifth Avenue and Park Street, said Capt. James Agee, of the St. Albans Police Department. The male passenger refused to get out of the vehicle and would not show one of his hands, Agee said.
The man, who was forcibly removed from the car, was holding a bag of pills in one hand, he said. He was handcuffed without incident. The driver was also detained without incident.
Officers saw what appeared to be a meth lab in the back seat of the vehicle. A special team was called to investigate and found a powder that appeared to be methamphetamine as well as Sudafed in an altered state.
The passenger, Earl W. Elliot, 40, of Charleston, was found to be wanted in Highland County, Ohio, for failing to answer an indictment for drug lab charges near a juvenile. Aside from being a fugitive from justice, he faces local charges of operating a clandestine drug lab and possessing Sudafed in an altered state. Agee said additional charges will be forthcoming, including obstructing an officer and possession of methamphetamine. Elliot is in South Central Regional Jail without bond, according to the jail website.
The driver, Kristina Rose James, 28, of Charleston also faces charges of operating a clandestine drug lab, Agee said. She is in South Central Regional Jail with bond set at $25,000.

Like love and marriage, crocus, daffodils, hyacinths and tulips go well together. The great thing about these beautiful spring flowering bulbs is that they can even be planted in early fall and right up to the first of the new year just as long as the ground isn't frozen.
If you check your favorite lawn and garden center, you might be surprised to find spring flowering flower bulbs and a lot of them in bins. Another good reason to plant bulbs now is the fact that the soil has managed to absorb some of the good rain we have had lately.
So why the need to plant them before say the first of January? Basically, spring flowering bulbs need a cold resting period in order for them to bloom in the spring. The cold period should last at least 10 weeks outside before they start to grow. Count ahead after the first of January. It will take you into the middle of March, which is the time that most spring flowering bulbs start their growth underground.
One great piece of advice is to plant daffodils in late September because they need a longer time in the ground before that ground freezes.
If you want to have them in a pot and blooming indoors, place the bulbs in a paper bag and place in the bottom of your refrigerator for that 10 week cold period. Take the bulbs out after the ten weeks, plant them in a nice container and enjoy their beauty indoors as well as outside. Remember, they need that cold period of at least 10 weeks indoors or out.
Keep in mind also that most spring flowering bulbs should be planted in clusters rather than single rows, and it's my opinion that clusters of the same color show better.
When you do visit your lawn and garden center and locate some bulbs, make sure they are plump, firm and dry with no soft spots or blemishes. At planting time, make sure the soil is well drained, and avoid locations where they will get the hot midday sun. Finally, these bulbs should be planted 6-8 inches deep and most of the time about 6 inches apart.
The most important thing to remember about planting spring flowering bulbs outdoors is the fact that they need a cold resting period before they will ever bloom.

Trypanosoma Rangeli Sialidase In Complex With 2,3- Difluorosialic Acid (Covalent Intermediate)
Trypanosoma rangeli sialidase is a glycoside hydrolase (family GH33) that catalyzes the cleavage of alpha-2-->3-linked sialic acid residues from sialoglycoconjugates with overall retention of anomeric configuration. Retaining glycosidases usually operate through a ping-pong mechanism, wherein a covalent intermediate is formed between the carbohydrate and an active site carboxylic acid of the enzyme. Sialidases, instead, appear to use a tyrosine as the catalytic nucleophile, leaving the possibility of an essentially different catalytic mechanism. Indeed, a direct nucleophilic role for a tyrosine was shown for the homologous trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi, although itself not a typical sialidase. Here we present the three-dimensional structures of the covalent glycosyl-enzyme complexes formed by the T. rangeli sialidase with two different mechanism-based inactivators at 1.9 and 1.7 Angstroms resolution. To our knowledge, these are the first reported structures of enzymatically competent covalent intermediates for a strictly hydrolytic sialidase. Kinetic analyses have been carried out on the formation and turnover of both intermediates, showing that structural modifications to these inactivators can be used to modify the lifetimes of covalent intermediates. These results provide further evidence that all sialidases likely operate through a similar mechanism involving the transient formation of a covalently sialylated enzyme. Furthermore, we believe that the ability to "tune" the inactivation and reactivation rates of mechanism-based inactivators toward specific enzymes represents an important step toward developing this class of inactivators into therapeutically useful compounds.

Delicate in style, these petite hoop earrings are crafted in sterling silver with a pale blue aquamarine. The hinged snap-backs finish the design perfectly.
View our education section to learn more about our gemstone jewelry.
I purchased these for my granddaughters birthday, the earring have nice weight to it, not heavy and not flimsy either. However the aquamarine is extremely disappointing, I know aquamarine is a light color stone but these look translucent I even put them under a light and barely saw color. I purchased these based on reviews that were favorable for this stone, I might exchange them for another stone.
Anonymous, Southwest Ranches, FL – March 2014
I really like these earrings but they are a little smaller than I expected and therefore a little difficult to handle when putting on/off. However, I love them once they're on. In addition to using them as a main earring, I also use them in the back as a second earring.
Anonymous, Edison, NJ – February 2014
These are very pretty earrings, are easy to insert, fall at just the right place, and were reasonably priced.

The following excerpt of Film Noir, the Directors edited by Alain Silver & James Ursini appears on Bookgasm.com.
Would film noir have happened without Fritz Lang? Probably, since so many factors and forces contributed to its flowering. But would it have been as rich and strange, as philosophically provocative and aesthetically exciting? Among the directors associated with film noir, no other possessed a personal vision—both style and worldview—so apt to that cinematic environment.
You could say that Lang had a two-decades-plus head start on noir. During his German Expressionist heyday, from 1921's Der müde Tod (Destiny) to 1933's Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse, he was exploring themes and forms, coining screen language and syntax, and forging an approach to character and ambiguity that would be crucial to the noir world. Perhaps most crucially of all, the power and mystery of Lang's Weimar-era films sprang from a uniquely dynamic symbiosis of narrative and design: story emerged through the recognition of pattern, as character was forged in the struggle against Fate—the ultimate design.
Those films serve as early recon maps of the terrain that would become noir. Most of the major works deal with criminality and shadow societies pervading, underlying, and sometimes flourishing right on the surface of a modern city. Several feature a criminal genius whose powers of disguise and organizational supremacy make him seem ubiquitous, almost supernatural. Sometimes called Dr. Mabuse (though the mastermind in the best of the "Mabusian" films, the 1928 Spione, doesn't go by that name), his plots to orchestrate complex capers, undermine national currencies, steal international secrets, and so forth are finally incidental to his primary impulse: to play with the very fabric of contemporary reality. The nature of that reality is suggested by a hallucinatory mise-en-scène in which the décor is at once stark and decadent, a playground for perverse spectacle and gamesmanship, a maze of corridors and doorways and streets where the modern and the Gothic interlayer. There's a pervasive air of paranoia, a nightmare of a world in which chaos and order are opposite sides of the same coin.
To read more, please visit Bookgasm.
Noted film noir historians Alain Silver and James Ursini, acting as editors, concentrate in this work on the thirty key directors of the classic noir period. These include well-known luminaries, such as Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Nicholas Ray, and Joseph Losey as well as lesser-known lights of noir, such as Gerd Oswald, Felix E. Feist, Ida Lupino, and John Brahm. Each article will include a short biography of the director, a list of their major noir films, as well as a deep analysis of the films themselves. The book boasts over two dozen collaborators from the world of film history and criticism. Lavishly illustrated with high-resolution photos illustrating the points made by the authors, this book is a must for any aficionado of the American style of film noir.

'The Crucible' showcases Stanford acting, design talent
You're probably already familiar with "The Crucible". The play, written in 1953 by Arthur Miller, is his most frequently produced work worldwide and a commonly read text in high school literature classes. Even if you're already familiar with the play, it's definitely worth coming out to see the Stanford Theater & Performance Studies (TAPS) production, which provides some interesting fresh takes on the play. For those unfamiliar with the story, "The Crucible" is a dramatization of the 17th-century Salem Witch Trials; it also serves as an allegory for the House Un-American Activities Committee anti-communist investigations that were taking place at the time Miller wrote they play and under which he was questioned. Although the connections between the two events are clear, the story is easy to understand even without any context.

Not much to it, it's a paddle leash.... does the job.... only complaint would be that the loop that you attach to the paddle will not stay tight, therefore it doesn't stay put where you want it.... Like I said though.... does the job....

This leash performed like it should and I never even knew it was there! It is plenty long enough not to get in your way., When I was unloading my Kayak I forgot it was still clipped to the yak and left the paddle in the truck and pulled the Kayak out breaking the cord at the base of the cliip. I will simply tie the cord back to the clip making it only a few inches shorter. Great product!

Health Notes: Ricky Rubio to the rescue in online video
Minnesota Timberwolves star Ricky Rubio also is the star of a video designed to save lives.By: John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune
Minnesota Timberwolves star Ricky Rubio also is the star of a video designed to save lives.
The interactive video, produced by the Medtronic Foundation's HeartRescue Project, shows Rubio working out in a fitness center. Within eyesight, another man collapses. What to do? Options are offered from the perspective of a second person; his hands are seen, but nothing else. If the viewer makes the right choices, he uses chest compressions to try to restore the victim's heartbeat, and Rubio runs to get an automated external defibrillator. The viewer's character then uses the AED. In the final scene, we see the victim looking back at his helpers as EMTs take him away.
The viewer also can make choices that don't turn out so well, such as "keep working out" and "panic."
The idea of the video is to teach people what to do if someone nearby experiences sudden cardiac arrest. A Medtronic news release points out that 2,000 Americans younger than 25 die of sudden cardiac arrest annually.

I had spent the summer Saturday by myself, meandering through a part of the city I was still, after 30 years here, unfamiliar with, and it had yielded up a banquet of pleasure. A small, old, redbrick church, and next to it, protected by a black wrought-iron fence, a pristine lawn dotted with pale, deep-set gravestones, tilting one way and another in the dappled late-afternoon sunlight. A hidden lane, bright green moss sprouting thickly between its cobblestones, leading down toward the riverbank and a series of playful bronze sculptures of baby animals tumbling in the grass.
Around suppertime I realized that I wasn't far from one of my favorite restaurants. I rarely go there, because it's expensive and always packed, but I thought I might be able to sit at the bar and have a dozen of their tasty oysters and a glass of wine. After all the meandering, I was very hungry. I could see from the street that there was one seat left at the bar, already crowded with people who seemed to have recently napped and showered and spent some time figuring out what to wear and who now looked especially fine and happy to see one another. I was feeling a little bit like Pigpen, in my dusty sandals and shift. But I wanted those oysters. (And that glass of Chablis.) So I went in, navigated the crowd, excuse me'd over to the empty seat, and sat down, a bit self-consciously. I was a middle-aged woman alone at a bar among strangers. Where were my friends? Didn't I have any? My own personal bugaboo settled over me like a soggy towel, seriously dampening my pleasure: Was this experience my first step on the path that leads inexorably to rubber-soled flats, loose, tentlike garments, and an obsessive interest in public television? I sighed aloud. If that was my future, I might as well enjoy myself getting there. I asked the bartender to recommend a wine. He offered me a taste of something delicious. The first dozen oysters were so astoundingly good, I had to have a second. As I was savoring them—deeply savoring them—I became aware of the couple sitting next to me. He was chattering animatedly while she, half-listening, watched my every slurp and sip. Finally, she interrupted him: "I have to have what she's having," she said, pointing at my plate. I was completely happy. Why had I felt a need to judge or label myself? (Middle-aged woman eating and drinking alone, no friends, crazy lady.) I've been running away from being alone all my life, even though I often enjoy it. I've avoided it because Loneliness, Being Alone's ugly stepsister, is uncomfortable, sometimes painful. It's the pain that sociologist Robert S. Weiss, PhD, describes as "separation distress without an object": You're longing for connection but don't know with what or whom. Which—in me, anyway—leads to a kind of emotional chaos. Not long after my date with the oysters, I began to wonder what would happen if I could tolerate that distress without reaching out to anchor myself with a phone call or an e-mail, a book, the television, a plate of shellfish. If I could just be with the loneliness without trying to fix it. To do that, I'd have to let go of the judgments I'd attached to being alone—that it's a problem, a punishment for not being good enough in some way.

Ryan Center
BBState Stats/Recap
KINGSTON, R.I. - After a quick stop at
Mystic Aquarium
, somewhere I hadn't been in two decades, I arrived at the University of Rhode Island campus to find it absolutely deserted.
One of the fun things about traveling to college basketball games for me is to check out the different campuses: some small, others big, some with more modern architecture, others with buildings that are centuries old.
The walk from the Ryan Center parking lot was straight uphill, and with the wind whipping and darkness having fallen, it felt like one of those
History Channel "Life After Man"
shows. Or Will Smith an "I Am Legend". I finally saw a man wearing an outfit that could have been out of the fifties, sans the requisite pipe (he did have a newspaper under his arm, though). Alas, he said hi and didn't attack me, so he wasn't a "darkseeker". I know it was Thanksgiving break for students, but it was still just weird.
Finally, out of the darkness came
"International Pockets Caf�"
, which stayed open despite the lack of students and saved me from arena food for the night.
The ticket takers didn't look like zombies, either, even though there weren't any other fans using the same entrance that early, so I was briefly concerned.
All the while, I wondered, like I did
in the trip to UConn
, how difficult it is to recruit in a place such as this. But, as I said before, if Jim Calhoun was able to win multiple national championships in Storrs, then Danny Hurley must believe he can be a consistent NCAA Tournament squad in Kingston.
If he survives this season. Physically, I mean. You get the feeling that by March, you may be able put together one of those Before and After splitscreens like they do to show how much stress a President undergoes in four years.
If Hurley was looking for a respite Friday, he didn't get it. Far from it.
As they did when
I saw them the week before against Seton Hall,
Rhode Island raced to an eight-point lead early and then appeared to attempt to hold on to it with all their might for the rest of the evening. By halftime, it was down to a single point, but led by Serbian senior Nikola Malesevic (whom the PA announcer called MAL-leh-sa-vich...vich, adding an extra syllable as an homage to how difficult it was for fans to say when he first arrived in Kingston, which I found funny), Rhode Island had it back to 39-32 with 11:44 left.
I've gone this far without mentioning Jimmy Patsos, which is quite the shocker in itself. Maybe - like his team sometimes - I've grown a bit numb to his antics, I was sitting on the Hurley side of the court. I did have this game circled from when it was first announced, a great Mid-majority coaching matchup.
The contrast started early, as when Patsos came out of the locker room, he - per usual - shook hands with any and all of the Greyhound supporters (and there were a decent amount), detouring into the stands before making his way to the bench. Problem was, with time ticking down until the national anthem, Hurley was waiting patiently near midcourt to give him the customary greeting. Finally,Hurley gave up and walked over to Patsos, tapping him on the back.
There didn't seem to be any animosity, though, the two enjoyed a laugh and that was it.
As his team struggled, Patsos had his moments: putting his finger in a player's face, running halfway down the bench to confront no one in particular, and calling three timeouts in a five-minute span early in the second half, subbing out all five players on the last one.
Sean Woods did to get suspended at Morehead St.
earlier in the week was certainly cringe-worthy when watching it, and we know Patsos has gotten himself into some hot water before, but you can't help but think when you're watching him live if some of it isn't a little bit over the top. In his defense, it's not like he's disguising who he is, and - although he gets plenty of press, including from us - I've seen some others in my travels this season already. An interesting thing to keep an eye on going forward.
I mentioned the score earlier to illustrate how much the game deteriorated from an offensive perspective. You never figured the way this would be an offensive showcase (
Loyola's 48-44 win over Fairfield in the MAAC title game
last year is still fresh in my mind), but it got ugly. With a capital U.
It did seem like the Rams were getting better looks than they had a week ago late in the game, but they just wouldn't go in. After Xavier Munford's three-pointer that would have given URI a 7-point advantage rattled around before coming out, Hurley could only stand with his arms crossed and shake his head.
Eventually, Loyola crawled back to tie it at 44, but Malesevic-vic finally got a
superhoop to fall, putting the Rams up 47-44 with 4:30 left.
Through a series of missed free throws and opportunities, somehow URI was able to hang onto the three-point lead by its collective fingernails, until off a time out, somehow Loyola's best shooter - senior Robert Olson - slipped a screen and buried a
superhoop to tie the game with 3.5 seconds left.
(As I've said before, for all his shenanigans on the sideline, Patsos is a tremendous basketball coach, drawing up a pretty darn good play here. His defensive adjustments were superb. It could be just me, though, as the Greyhounds are now 7-0 in games I've covered for the Mid-majority. Does that mae the Loyola media notes?)
Munford hit a
superhoop 20 seconds into overtime, but it was the last field goal the Rams would get. In fact, against Loyola's zone, Rhode Island would attempt eight shots in the extra session, all of them from behind the arc.
Strategy fail.
In the end, Loyola tried very hard itself not to put the game away, missing five free throws in overtime, three in the final 20 seconds. But they got offensive rebounds on all of them, and Hurley was headed to his fifth straight defeat to start his Rhode Island career, with this guy's mood about summing it up.
Hurley's team will continue to battle, surely, and they're going to beat someone in the Atlantic-10 (don't let it be you), but it's going to be a struggle. Hopefully, Hurley - who lost just six games last season at Wagner, and only 21 times in a DECADE of coaching high school ball at St. Benedict's (NJ) - will take it in stride, knowing that reinforcements are on the way.
One guy who knows a bit about adversity is Jimmy Patsos, who embraced Hurley after the game and seemed to give him a little pep talk at midcourt before departing.
Maybe it went like this:
"I like you, Danny, and I know you've come up the hard way. But I have to tell you something. Some folks look for answers, others look for fights, and some folks are up in treetops looking for their kites. I've been the ripple in still water where there was no pebble tossed. I've been a headlight on a northbound train. I've been run out in the cold rain and snow. F✶ ✶ ✶, I've even played in Uncle John's band down by the riverside. You'll get back on your feet someday, Danny, the good Lord willing if He says you may. But now, you've just got to row, Danny, row."
I think Danny will get there, too, someday soon.

Transit systems in Atlanta (pictured), Dallas, Houston do poorest job of reaching no-car households. Photo credit: Chuck Koehler via Wikimedia Commons.
With the economy stalled and the jobless rate hovering around 9 percent, 700,000 American households face a daily challenge getting to work or to stores because they have no car and cannot reach their local transit system, according to a report from the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program.The report, Transit Access and Zero-Vehicle Households, identifies, for the first time, this severely disadvantaged group and calls on policymakers to improve the transportation choices available to those who most need them. "If you're going to keep afloat during the recession, you have to be able to get to work," said Adie Tomer, Senior Research Analyst and author of the report. "We knew there were pockets of households who are economically hampered by the fact that they own no car and have no access to transit, but we didn't fully understand the true scope of the problem until now. "Seven hundred thousand households is larger than the population of Columbus, Ohio or San Antonio, Texas," Tomer said. "These people are terribly constrained in earning a living, getting to the store, or taking their kids to daycare. If this many people were facing a public health scare, this country would be in crisis mode. We need to approach this problem with similar urgency." Transit Access and Zero Vehicle Households is the first in a series of three studies following the release in May of Brookings' Missed Opportunity report which found that transit services fall far short in connecting workers to jobs. This newest report examines how effectively transit moves workers in households without cars around their metro areas and to places of employment. The next two studies will focus on access to transit from public housing and how transit serves employers' needs.The report ranks the 100 largest U.S. metro areas for the number of households with no cars and no access to transit. Atlanta, Dallas and Houston top the list with the lowest coverage rates and do the poorest job serving this population. Together, these metro areas leave more than 100,000 no-vehicle households with few transportation options.
Largest Metro Areas with Lowest Coverage Rates for No-Car HouseholdsMetropolitan Area Coverage Rate No Car/No TransitAtlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, Ga. 68.5% 37,634
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas 71.2% 33,326
Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas 73.4% 32,630
Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. 80.9% 17,686
St. Louis, Mo.-Ill. 82.2% 14,528
All 100 of the largest metro areas house some number of these economically disadvantaged households, but those metros with the highest coverage rates and so whose transit systems do the best job reaching residents with no cars are Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.
Largest Metro Areas with Highest Coverage Rates for No-Car HouseholdsMetropolitan Area Coverage Rate No Car/With Transit
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. 99.1% 355,457

San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif. 98.1% 192,238
Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. 97.3% 93,179
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, Fla. 97.2% 172,028Other Key Findings:• A total of 7.5 million households do not have access to a car but can travel by transit. Most of these households, 61 percent, live in cities and most — 60 percent — are low-income. New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have the highest number of households which do not own cars. • While 90 percent of these households can travel around their metro areas by transit, on average they can reach only 40 percent of jobs via transit within 90 minutes. • Households without cars in cities have much higher access to transit; 99 percent live near transit. Only 58 percent of households without cars in the suburbs live near transit. The report highlights the need for:
1) transit agencies to continue to address coverage gaps and route changes to reflect job and housing growth in the suburbs;
2) land-use planners to concentrate development in denser locations; and
3) local policymakers, particularly in areas such as Dallas and Atlanta, to recognize the depth of their transit problems and take significant steps to meet their residents' transit needs. "We need to make sure there are more transportation options for all households but especially for those low-income groups who are more economically constrained, cannot afford cars, and have no way to access transit," added Tomer. "If this country is to put Americans back to work and become more productive and more competitive in the global economy, the transit system has to do a better job of carrying us to our places of employment." The Metropolitan Policy Program has also created an online interactive mapping tool using Bing maps technology to analyze other transit data for all 100 metropolitan areas.

It's actually incorrect to say "transit systems in Dallas" do a poor job of connecting people without cars to employment. The study examines the entire Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro area which includes large cities that have chosen to not invest in transit. Within the cities served by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which includes Dallas, access to transit in the city of Dallas is 100% and in the service area approaches 95%.

All Americans, Connacht Picked for Saturday |
Colleges - All Americans |
Connacht has named a Developmental squad, and is a mixture of senior squad members, academy players, and players hoping to break in to the senior side. Connacht team Manager Nigel Carolan said "this game is a great opportunity for some of the younger development players to get a run out at this stage of the season and will give coaches a chance to look at players ahead of the British & Irish Cup which kicks off in October." The team contains some well-known names in the starting XV. Aaron Conneely and Conor Finn were both part of the Irish under 20's squad that finished 5th in the Junior World Championship in South Africa during the summer. Flanker Dave Heffernan is a former Irish U20's International and made his senior debut against the Scarlets last season. USA Collegiate All Americans

Tan Works' seasoned professionals, adding pop to pigment seven days a week, shepherd patrons toward sun-kissed glows with a state-of-the-art Sunvision Elite Level 1 tanning bed. The sleek divan's 32 lamps distribute an even bronze to your epidermal sheath, and the Superflow internal cooling system keeps your chassis at a comfortable temperature while you infuse skin with vitamin D and prepare for an ample summer of sunny afternoons. Clients can shift their skin's spectrum for up to 16 minutes per session, which takes considerably less time than coloring the entire body with crayons or soaking in a washing machine brimming with red shirts.
A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
From airbrush to mystic spray tans, 202 Tanning offers options for clients of different preferences. Get a golden glow however you like—sprayed-on or from a high-quality tanning bed, which is most effective while counting under your breath the number of beds that are on the sun. Airbrush and mystic tanning, meanwhile, provide UV-free alternatives without sacrificing the bronze look.
Customers of OrTanic Sun Spa emerge from private rooms with skin glowing like the sun's lips. The staff consults with clients ahead of time, taking stock of skin type, current skin color, and target shade, then guides them to the level of tanning that will fit their needs. UV-tanning sessions take place in stand-up or lie-down chambers—available in four different intensity levels—which tan skin more effectively than a nap on a giant spotlight. For UV-free tanning, the staff mists skin with the Bronze Biologic airbrush solution, made from purified water and tanning elements derived from plant sources.
[[m:####Thorndale Fitness & Tanning
A giant yellow barbell spans the wall above the Bar Bell Café, where protein muffins and smoothies await those seeking a boost post-workout. During the facility's more than 20 years in business, the staff at Thorndale has learned that these little extras keep customers enthused about fitness. Certified trainers helm one-on-one sessions on the same sprawling gym floor that houses ellipticals, treadmills, and weightlifting equipment. They also lead group-fitness classes in such disciplines as strength training and aerobics. The facilities round out with standup and horizontal tanning booths tucked into private treatment rooms.:m]]

Great cleanser. I have very dry skin and therefore I can't use soap (too drying) and even using water to wash off other cleansers will leave my skin feeling tight. Love this stuff..100% non-drying. I follow with the Darphin Azahar Cleansing Micellar Water to remove any makeup/oil left behind.

Honestly, there are better cleansing waters out there! But it does the job and removes makeup after SEVERAL COTTON BALLS. I have to wipe my face down three times before all my makeup is removed. I do not think it smells great, but I'm not repulsed by it, either. If I were you, I'd stick to Caudalie's cleansing water.

Full disclosure: I work at the theatre where this show is being performed.That being said, I'm unashamedly proud to say that this show is one of the best pieces of theatre that I have seen. Take into account the fact that I grew up reading Alligator Pie, and that I love all of the creators of this show, and I love the care that they took in putting this together.
First things first: the Wikipedia article on Alligator Pie is woefully inadequate. So is the one for Dennis Lee. I was going to send you there for more information, but apparently all you can do is learn the names of the poems in the novel. Disappointing.
Moving on.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia's top wildlife official believes turkey hunters are in for a good spring gobbler season.
Curtis Taylor, wildlife resources chief for the state Division of Natural Resources, said the "weird weather" conditions that plagued recent seasons are mercifully absent this year.
"I was talking with Jim Clay, founder of Perfection Turkey Calls, the other day, and we started comparing notes," Taylor said. "Jim said he thought [hunting conditions] would be spot-on perfect this year.
"That matches up with what I've been seeing. I've been watching a flock for about a month now, and the gobblers are out there strutting and carrying on, and the hens only recently started having anything to do with them."
Taylor predicted that by the time the season begins Monday, more than half the available hens would be on their nests, incubating clutches of eggs and not available to gobblers still eager to mate.
"That's what you want to have. When hens are sitting on eggs, gobblers become easier for hunters to call," he added.
DNR biologists schedule the season's opening on the Monday closest to that "peak of incubation," which usually falls between the third and fourth week of April. Unusual weather can mess with the formula, but Taylor said conditions have remained moderate during the run-up to this year's opener.
"I'm looking for a good season," he said. "Right now, it looks like the only thing that could throw a monkey wrench into it is if a lot of juvenile hens attempt to mate."
Young hens seldom breed successfully. Taylor said only 10 percent manage to bring off a clutch of eggs. Those that do attempt to mate often distract gobblers that might otherwise respond to hunters' calls.
If Taylor's forecast of a productive season proves accurate, hunters will almost certainly be happier than they were last year, when the harvest total for the four-week season dropped to 8,303, the lowest total since 1989.
The average kill for the past five seasons is 9,484. A return to that figure would signal an increase of 14 percent. A return to 2010's total of 10,209 birds would amount to a 23 percent increase.
Frustrated hunters blame the past few years' relatively low harvest totals on two things - the DNR's policy of opening the season in late April, which many believe is too long after the peak of gobbling activity; and on a perceived decline in the state's wild turkey population.

Designer Eduardo Xol
Oprah.com | May 04, 2007
As a first generation Mexican-American growing up in East Los Angeles, Eduardo Xol spent much of his childhood shuttling between California and Mexico. A trained musician and actor, Eduardo spent nearly a decade as a Spanish-speaking soap opera star and Latin American recording artist. Nate talks with Eduardo about parlaying his background in the arts into a dream career as a designer on ABC's hit TV show
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Becoming one of the designers on
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
wasn't something Eduardo says he sought out. In fact, Eduardo says designing is something he fell into in the months following a failed business. "I started doing more gardening and then some friends and family started to ask for advice for their gardens," Eduardo says. "Before I knew it, in about a year and a half, I had a landscape and interior design company that was doing really, really well."
When producers of
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
approached him to join their team, Eduardo says he was hesitant because he had never seen the show. After watching just one episode, Eduardo says he was hooked by the show's premise of giving families in need a dream home. "It is about good people who need a break," Eduardo says. "It is about our everyday American who has been stuck in really bad situation, and we are able to come and make a wish come true."
Eduardo says the many careers he has had over the years were all experiences that helped shape him into the designer he is today. "I feel like I'm one of the lucky people that really get to live out their dreams," Eduardo says. "I've had many careers in this lifetime, but it seems like now it is all making sense for me."
Since joining the show, Eduardo says he has written his first book,
Home Sense: Simple Solutions to Enhance Where and How You Live
. Eduardo says the goal of his book is to help people make their home a place to gather and a place to relax. "Home is the most important place for us," he says. "I think we get carried away, especially in this country and this day and age, with working and working and moving really fast and not stopping to smell the flowers."

Moorgate station is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station on Moorgate in the City of London, providing weekday National Rail services by First Capital Connect for Hertford, Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth and a daily service on the Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan lines and the Bank branch of the Northern line.
The station was opened in 1865 by the Metropolitan Railway. In 1900 the City & South London Railway added the station to its network, under the name Moorgate Street, and the Great Northern & City Railway began serving the station in 1904. In 1975 it was the site of the Moorgate tube crash in which 43 people were killed — the worst accident in the history of the London Underground.[5]
Location and layout[edit]
The station has entrances on both Moorgate itself and Moorfields, which runs parallel.
While the public entrances from the street give access to all the train services at the station, at platform level there are three distinct sections.
The Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines of the Underground system all use platforms in the sub-surface station, which has platforms 1 and 2, which are through platforms. Platforms 3 and 4 are west-facing bays used for turning trains back at busy times. Platforms 5 and 6 also exist in this part of the station, but are disused following discontinuation of the former Thameslink trains from Bedford.
The Northern line of the Underground uses platforms 7 and 8, which are in a deep-level tube section of the station.
National Rail services use platforms 9 and 10, which are terminal platforms, the former Northern City Line platforms. Weekday train services run to Welwyn Garden City and to Stevenage via Hertford North.
The station was opened by the Metropolitan Railway in December 1865 when they extended their original route between Paddington and Farringdon.
Increasing traffic by other companies, including goods traffic, led to the track between King's Cross and Moorgate being widened to four tracks in 1868; the route was called the 'City Widened Lines'. Suburban services from the Midland Railway via Kentish Town and the Great Northern Railway via Kings Cross. British Rail services to Moorgate were initially steam operated before being converted to Cravens-built diesel multiple units and British Rail Class 31 locomotives class hauling non-corridor stock which remained in operation until the mid-1970s.
The Northern line platforms were opened by the City & South London Railway (C&SLR) as "Moorgate Street" in February 1900 and formed the northern terminus of its services from Stockwell south of the River Thames. The line was extended to Angel the following year.
The Northern City Line to Moorgate was opened by the Great Northern & City Railway (GN&CR) in February 1904 offering a service to Finsbury Park. The route was constructed in tube tunnels, but they were constructed at a diameter capable of accommodating main line trains (in contrast to the majority of London tube tunnels which are much smaller). However the planned through services to the Great Northern Railway's main line were never implemented, and the route remained a simple short route between Moorgate and Finsbury Park, later cut back to run between Moorgate and Drayton Park only due to Victoria Line construction in the 1960s.
Moorgate station was completely modernised at platform level and street level in the 1960s, and the Widened Lines part of the station was extended to six platforms.
43 people were killed and 74 seriously injured in the Moorgate tube crash on 28 February 1975 when a southbound Northern City Line train crashed into buffers at the end of the line at the station inside a tunnel beyond the platform. It was the greatest loss of life on the Underground during peacetime and the worst ever train accident on the system.
British Rail took over control of the Northern City Line from London Underground in 1975, as part of the Great Northern lines suburban electrification. The Highbury Branch of the Northern line was terminated. Services from Finsbury Park to Moorgate were diverted to the Northern City Line from the City Widened Lines the following year. The City Widened Lines were renamed the Moorgate line[6] when overhead electrification was installed in 1982, allowing the Midland City Line service to run from Bedford via the Midland Main Line to Moorgate on the Thameslink service. The Moorgate Thameslink branch closed permanently in December 2009 as part of the £6billion Thameslink programme, however as of late October 2013, there is still a sign over Platform 2 with 'Trains to Bedford' and an arrow pointing to the now disused platforms.
Trains do not serve the Northern City Line during late evenings and at weekends, being diverted to London Kings Cross instead.
Traction electricity system[edit]
Traction current on the Underground lines is supplied by the standard London Underground four rail system.[citation needed]
Trains using the Northern City platforms use electrical supply at 660 V DC on a third rail system.[citation needed] The former Thameslink bays were equipped with 25 kV AC overhead lines.[citation needed]
Crossrail is being built as a new west-east route under central London.
Under the Crossrail plans, the western ticket hall of Crossrail's Liverpool Street station will be situated just east of Moorgate station. An interchange will be built, which will thus link Moorgate to the Central line at Liverpool Street.[7][8]
Moorgate currently has the following National Rail services off-peak Monday - Friday (all operated by First Capital Connect):
- 3tph to Welwyn Garden City via Potters Bar
- 3tph to Hertford North (1tph extended to Letchworth Garden City)
No National Rail trains operate to Moorgate on Saturdays and Sundays.
