A hypothetical scene showing a view from below of Parson looking down over his garrison walls. He is clearly displeased with what he's seeing.

Prince Ansom: "At that point, Hamster will have only losing options. Leave the garrison undefended and our tunnel forces will take it with ease.
Withdraw from the walls, and we knock them down, and take the garrison from without."

Open Government
The Center for Effective Government on March 13 released a report on the government's Freedom of Information Act response efforts, finding that agencies processed more FOIA in 2012 than in previous years, and that backlogs have declined even as the number of requests has grown. But more requests are being redacted, the report found, and the cost of FOIA processing varied widely from agency to agency.
The data "suggests there may some economies of scale in processing FOIA requests," the report states, but volume alone does not explain the variations -- the State Department spent more than four times as much to process each request as did the National Archives and Records Administration, which responded to roughly the same number of inquiries.
The full report, which includes additional processing details, historical trends and other analysis, is available on the Center for Effective Government website.

The CIA I can understand, every document probably has to be reviewed by a dozen people before it is approved for release. The Archives seems strange, but I guess it depends on what they are asking for and how far back in what vault those documents are stored. The Archives stores a really large amount of hard copy documents. Energy, NASA, and Commerse I would think might be getting more technical requests that are harder to compile. In the end, it is hard to tell what is going on unless you know how many requests are going to each group and what their review process is and what information is being asked for. It may be people are asking for boxes of documents or just proprietary information that belongs to their contractors.

The historical quote file is currently in ascending order, starting with the oldest quotes. Some of the quotes (though nothing past 2006 AFAICT) are offensive, e.g. sexist, and it is not clear to the casual reader that these are no longer reflective of our culture.
As a solution I propose splitting up the file, changing the order to be descending (from new to old), and adding a note/apology to that effect.

< Return To Hearing
Mr. Billie SpeicherJanuary 11, 2005
Tuesday January 11, 2005 Good morning. My name is Billie Speicher and I appreciate the chance to talk to you today about the asbestos bill you've been working on. I'm here today for three reasons ---to speak up for the men that used to work side-by-side with me who will someday will have to live through what I'm going through -I want to speak for my family -and I'd like to urge more research into the cancer that's changed my life. I have mesothelioma. I don't have to tell you what that means - you've been at this long enough -it's a deadly cancer and by all rights I should only have a few months to live. I was exposed as an aircraft mechanic for the Marine Corps in the late 1950s ---and as a pipe fitter from 1965 to 1999. Looking back I can't think of two more dangerous lines of work. Although none of us knew it then -no one told my buddies and me that asbestos could kill you. I got the bad news last May. At first the doctors I was seeing for two years kept telling me I had asthma -even though I had CAT scans that showed my lungs were scarred. Now I've followed this bill you're talking about since I got meso last year and I have to say that I don't like the idea of it. I'm no legal expert but to me the jury system in our country is about as important as it gets. And I just don't think it's right to take those rights away from people like I hear this proposal will do. I know the idea is that you're setting up a trust fund and I'm supposed to get help from that -but that's the next thing -the way I understand it --the way you wrote this bill up the help I'm supposed to get from my state in the workers comp system would be subtracted from the compensation I'm supposed to get from this new trust fund. Now, I don't want anyone thinking I've come up here with my hand out saying "show me the money" -because that's not what I care about. I need help with my medical bills -those Veglin shots are keeping me alive -the only thing that's keeping me alive. Second I want to make sure my family is taken care of ---my wife and my kids and the most beautiful grand kid you've ever seen. It's costing a lot of money to keep me alive -and it'll cost a whole bunch more. I don't want my family stuck with a pile of debts after I'm gone ---I'm telling you right now that's causing me as much pain as the cancer that's eating away at my body. You also know that every day another worker is diagnosed with meso or some other asbestos related disease -and many more will keep on coming in the future. So whatever you do you have to make it work for them. And you also have to do something to help with the research to find a cure for Mesothelioma. I don't know if you've put any money in this bill to help with that. But you ought to. So I'd just like to close by saying I hope you do the right thing by us when you finish writing this bill -and I hope you're thinking about all the workers in the future like me who are going to hear the same thing I did last May ----that they only have about one year to live. Let's find a cure for mesothelioma ---we know it's going to still be killing people for years and years -so let's do something about it. |

Photo: © 2009 Jupiterimages Corporation Football is one of the most popular sports in America, with an estimated one in eight boys in America playing. As with any physical activity, there is a risk of injury—pulled muscles, twisted ankles and even broken bones. But football is unique in that it adds a risk of a class of injuries that other sports do not: brain injuries.
A study by Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and Ohio State University found that of the roughly 400,000 concussions that occurred in high school sports in the 2008–2009 school year, most were suffered by football players. A concussion is usually caused by a significant blow to the head, resulting in loss of consciousness, confusion, severe headache or memory loss of the incident that caused the concussion. While people have long recognized that concussions can be serious injuries, just a few years ago it was not uncommon for a football player to return to a game after suffering one. One group raising awareness of how dangerous this can be is the Sports Legacy Institute, a research and education organization co-founded by brain injury expert Dr. Robert Cantu and Chris Nowinski, a former Harvard football player and professional wrestler who was forced to retire after suffering six concussions in four years. His last two concussions were just weeks apart. "Both involved blackouts in the ring where I forgot who was supposed to win the match once I came to," he says. "At that time, in 2003, concussions weren't discussed. Doctors didn't understand them either. It wasn't until I met Dr. Cantu that even I, at 24 and a Harvard grad, even understood that there are long-term consequences from head injuries." Those long-term consequences can include physical debilitation, depression, reduced intellectual function and even death. Due to the work of groups like the Sports Legacy Institute, understanding of the dangers of concussions has grown significantly in recent years, and doctors are more aware of how to treat someone who has suffered one. "You help concussions recover more quickly and, theoretically, you reduce long-term damage by letting your brain rest after a concussion. It's both physical rest and cognitive rest," Nowinski says. "The idea is that you don't tax your brain for a few days. Sometimes kids stay home from school, you don't play video games, you don't go take the SAT for fun." Recent laws in Washington, Oregon and Texas also strive to make football less dangerous. The Washington law, for instance, requires a doctor's note affirming that a player who has suffered a concussion is healthy enough to return to the field. However, there is still a wide gap in the safety net for young athletes and brain injuries—the education of adults. "The idea that the coach has never been trained on an injury that half of the kids will get and could kill them if they're back too soon, it's starting to look crazier and crazier," Nowinski says. "We don't educate coaches, we don't educate kids and we don't educate parents about brain injury in contact sports." Advertisement

Check out these smaller community museums in Ottawa
- Ottawa Travel Guide
- |
- Wednesday, 13 February 2013 08:12
Those who are considering travelling to Ottawa have likely heard of some of the well-known museums such as the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian War Museum and the Canadian Museum of Nature. Even though these top many travellers' to-do lists when they visit Canada's capital, there are plenty of community museums that are rich with history and give a more specific look at some of the ins and outs of Ottawa. Here are a few of these museums including a brief description.
Bytown Museum
The Bytown Museum takes its visitors on a journey through the evolution of the city of Ottawa - starting with the area's earliest inhabitants and leading guests through the end of the First World War. Not to mention, the location of this museum is perfect, as it sits right in the heart of downtown Ottawa, next to the Rideau Canal and near Parliament Hill and the Fairmont Château Laurier hotel.
Vanier Museopark
This museum is focused on showcasing the history of French-speaking residents in Ottawa's culture. in Ottawa's culture. Vanier Museopark is devoted to sharing the history of the Vanier Districts, and it is one of the few places outside of Quebec that caters to the French-speaking community. What's more, it is right next to Sugar Shack, which produces maple syrup as well as offers tours about the process, so visitors can kill two birds with one stone.
Ottawa Jewish Archives
The Ottawa Jewish Archives was first established in 1969, and has since collected and recorded various information from the Jewish community in Canada's capital. Visitors are able to find a slew of information about the Jewish community including the records of businesses, educational institutions, community organizations, family histories as well as congregational establishments.
Ottawa Room
Travellers who are interested in the works created by Ottawa residents can check out the Ottawa Room at the Ottawa Public Library's main branch. It contains a unique collection of literature written by locals over the past few decades. This collection began in 1955 during the City of Ottawa centenary celebrations, and works on subjects such as architecture, festivals, industry, history, education, tourism and culture are continuously being added.
Billings Estate National Historic Site
This tour through Ottawa's oldest wood-framed house will tickle any history buff's fancy, as the home of Braddish and Lamira Billings is rich with history. The Billings Estate, which has experienced tour guides, has been designated a National Historic Site. The tour guides share with visitors all about the pioneer settlers that opened the area back in 1813.

Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. She gave her birth date as July 7, 1910, but her birth certificate shows July 6, 1907. Kahlo had allegedly wanted the year of her birth to coincide with the year of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution so that her life would begin with the birth of modern Mexico. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.[7]
Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as Naïve art or folk art.[8] Her work has also been described as "surrealist", and in 1938 André Breton, principal initiator of the surrealist movement, described Kahlo's art as a "ribbon around a bomb".[7]
Kahlo had a volatile marriage with the famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera. She suffered lifelong health problems, many of which were the result of a traffic accident she survived as a teenager. Recovering from her injuries isolated her from other people and this isolation influenced her works, many of which are self-portraits of one sort or another. Kahlo suggested, "I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best."[9] She also stated, "I was born a bitch. I was born a painter."[10]
Childhood and family[edit]
Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, in the house of her parents known as La Casa Azul (The Blue House), in Coyoacán. At the time, Coyoacán was a small town on the outskirts of Mexico City.
Kahlo's father, Guillermo Kahlo (1871–1941), was born Carl Wilhelm Kahlo in 1871, in Pforzheim, Germany, the son of Jakob Heinrich Kahlo and Henriette Kaufmann. During Kahlo's lifetime and subsequently, media reports stated that her father was Jewish.[11][12] However, genealogical research indicates that her father was not of Jewish heritage, but was from a Lutheran family.[13][14]
Carl Wilhelm Kahlo traveled to Mexico during 1891, at the age of nineteen, and upon his arrival, changed his German forename, Wilhelm, to its Spanish equivalent, Guillermo.[11][12]
Frida's mother, Matilde Calderón y González, was a devout Roman Catholic of mixed Amerindian and Spanish ancestry.[18] Frida's parents were married soon after the death of Guillermo's first wife, which occurred during the birth of her second child. Although their marriage was quite unhappy, Guillermo and Matilde had four daughters, with Frida being the third. She had two older half sisters who were raised in the same household. Frida remarked that she grew up in a world surrounded by females. However, during most of her life, Frida remained on amicable terms with her father.
The Mexican Revolution began during 1910, when Kahlo was three years old. Kahlo later claimed that she was born in 1910, allegedly so that people would associate her with the revolution. In her writings, she recalled that her mother would usher her and her sisters inside the house as gunfire echoed in the streets of her hometown.
Kahlo contracted polio at age six, which left her right leg thinner than the left, which she disguised later in life by wearing long, colorful skirts. It has been conjectured that she was born with spina bifida, a congenital condition that could have affected both spinal and leg development.[19] She participated in boxing and other sports.
In 1922, Kahlo was enrolled in the Preparatoria, one of Mexico's premier schools, where she was one of only thirty-five girls. Kahlo joined a clique at the school and became enamored of the strongest personality of it, Alejandro Gómez Arias. During this period, Kahlo also witnessed violent armed struggles in the streets of Mexico City as the Mexican Revolution continued.
Bus accident[edit]
On September 17, 1925, Kahlo was riding in a bus that collided with a trolley car. She suffered serious injuries as a result of the accident, including a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, eleven fractures in her right leg, a crushed and dislocated right foot, and a dislocated shoulder. Also, an iron handrail pierced her abdomen and her uterus, compromising her reproductive capacity.
The accident left her in a great deal of pain while she spent three months recovering in a full body cast. Although she recovered from her injuries and eventually regained her ability to walk, she had relapses of extreme pain for the remainder of her life. The pain was intense and often left her confined to a hospital or bedridden for months at a time. She had as many as thirty-five operations as a result of the accident, mainly on her back, her right leg, and her right foot. The injuries also prevented Kahlo from having a child because of the medical complications and permanent damage. Though she conceived three times, all her pregnancies had to be terminated.[20]
Career as painter[edit]
After the accident, Kahlo abandoned the study of medicine to begin a painting career. She painted to occupy her time during her temporary immobilization. Her self-portraits were a dominant part of her life when she was immobile for three months after her accident. Kahlo once said, "I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best."[9]
Her mother had a special easel made for her so she could paint in bed, and her father lent her his box of oil paints and some brushes.[21]
Drawn from personal experiences, including her marriage, her miscarriages, and her numerous operations, Kahlo's works are often characterized by their suggestions of pain.
Kahlo created at least 140 paintings, along with dozens of drawings and studies. Of her paintings, 55 are self-portraits which often incorporate symbolic portrayals of physical and psychological wounds. She insisted, "I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality."[22]
Diego Rivera had a great influence on Frida's painting style. Frida had always admired Diego and his work. She first approached Diego in the Public Ministry of Education, where he had been working on a mural in 1927. She showed him four of her paintings, and asked whether he considered her gifted. Diego was impressed and said, "You have got talent." After that, he became a frequent welcomed guest at Frida's house. He gave her many insights about her artwork while still leaving her space to explore herself. There is no doubt that the positive and encouraging comments made by Diego strengthened Frida's wish to pursue a career as an artist.[23]
Kahlo was also influenced by indigenous Mexican culture, which is apparent in her use of bright colors, dramatic symbolism and primitive style. She frequently included the symbolic monkey. In Mexican mythology, monkeys are symbols of lust, but Kahlo portrayed them as tender and protective symbols. Christian and Jewish themes are often depicted in her work.[24] She combined elements of the classic religious Mexican tradition with surrealist renderings.
In 1938, Kahlo had her first and only solo gallery showing in the United States at the Julien Levy Gallery. The works were well received and the event was attended by several prominent artists.[25] At the invitation of André Breton, she went to France during 1939 and was featured at an exhibition of her paintings in Paris. The Louvre bought one of her paintings, The Frame, which was displayed at the exhibit. This was the first work by a twentieth-century Mexican artist to be purchased by the renowned museum.
As a young artist, Kahlo communicated with the Mexican painter, Diego Rivera, whose work she admired, asking him for advice about pursuing art as a career. He recognized her talent.[26] He encouraged her artistic development and they began an intimate relationship. They were married in 1929, despite the disapproval of Frida's mother.
Their marriage was often troubled. Kahlo and Rivera both had irritable temperaments and numerous extramarital affairs. The bisexual Kahlo had affairs with both men and women, including Isamu Noguchi and Josephine Baker;[4] Rivera knew of and tolerated her relationships with women, but her relationships with men made him jealous. For her part, Kahlo was furious when she learned that Rivera had an affair with her younger sister, Cristina. The couple divorced in November 1939, but remarried in December 1940. Their second marriage was as troubled as the first. Their living quarters were often separate, although sometimes adjacent.[27]
Later years and death[edit]
Active communists, Kahlo and Rivera befriended Leon Trotsky during the late 1930s, after he fled Norway to Mexico to receive political asylum from the Soviet Union, where he was expelled and sentenced to death during Joseph Stalin's leadership. During 1937, Trotsky lived initially with Rivera and then at Kahlo's home (where he and Kahlo had an affair).[4] Trotsky and his wife then relocated to another house in Coyoacán where, in 1940, he was assassinated. Both Kahlo and Rivera broke with Trotskyism and they openly became supporters of Stalin in 1939.[28]
Frida Kahlo died on July 13, 1954, soon after turning 47. A few days before her death, she wrote in her diary: "I hope the exit is joyful — and I hope never to return — Frida".[4] The official cause of death was given as a pulmonary embolism, although some suspected that she died from an overdose that may or may not have been accidental.[4] An autopsy was never performed. She had been very ill throughout the previous year and her right leg had been amputated at the knee, owing to gangrene. She had a bout of bronchopneumonia about that time, which had left her quite frail.[4]
In his autobiography, Diego Rivera would write that the day Kahlo died was the most tragic day of his life, adding that, too late, he had realized that the most wonderful part of his life had been his love for her.[4]
A pre-Columbian urn holding her ashes is on display in her former home, La Casa Azul (The Blue House), in Coyoacán, which since 1958 has been maintained at a museum housing a number of her works of art and numerous mementos and artifacts from her personal life.[4]
Posthumous recognition[edit]
Aside from the 1939 acquisition by the Louvre, Kahlo's work was not widely acclaimed until decades after her death. Often she was remembered only as Diego Rivera's wife. It was not until the end of the 1970s and the early 1980s, when the artistic style in Mexico known as Neomexicanismo began, that she became well-known to the public.[29][30] It was during this time that artists such as Kahlo, Abraham Ángel, Ángel Zárraga, and others gained recognition and Jesus Helguera's classical calendar paintings became famous.[29]
During the same decade of the 1980s, other factors helped to make her better known. The first retrospective of Frida Kahlo's work outside Mexico (exhibited alongside the photographs of Tina Modotti) opened at the Whitechapel Gallery in London in May 1982, organized and co-curated by Peter Wollen and Laura Mulvey. The exhibition also was shown in Sweden, Germany, Manhattan, and Mexico City. The movie Frida, naturaleza viva (1983), directed by Paul Leduc with Ofelia Medina as Frida and painter Juan José Gurrola as Diego, was a great success. For the rest of her life, Medina has remained in a quasi-perpetual Frida role.[31] Also during the same time, Hayden Herrera published an influential biography, Frida: The Biography of Frida Kahlo, which became a worldwide bestseller. Raquel Tibol, a Mexican artist and personal friend of Frida, wrote Frida Kahlo: una vida abierta.[32] Other works about her include a biography by Mexican art critic and psychoanalyst Teresa del Conde and texts by other Mexican critics and theorists, such as Jorge Alberto Manrique.[29]
From 1990–91, Kahlo's "Diego on my Mind" (1943), oil on masonite, 76 by 61 centimeters piece was used as the representative piece on the post for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Mexico: Splendors of Thirty Centuries art exhibit. In 1991, the opera Frida by Robert Xavier Rodriguez, which had been commissioned by the American Music Theater Festival, premiered in Philadelphia.
In 1994, American jazz flautist and composer James Newton released an album inspired by Kahlo titled Suite for Frida Kahlo on AudioQuest Music (now known as Sledgehammer Blues).[35]
On June 21, 2001, she became the first Hispanic woman to be honored with a U.S. postage stamp.[36]
In 2002, the American biographical movie Frida, directed by Julie Taymor, in which Salma Hayek portrayed the artist, was released.[37] The film was based on Herrera's book. It grossed US$ 58 million worldwide.[37]
During June 9 to October 9, 2005, an international exhibition of Kahlo's work was presented at the Tate Modern in London. It brought together eighty-seven of her works for the display.
In 2006, Kahlo's 1943 painting Roots set a US$ 5.6 million auction record for a Latin American work.[38]
During May 8 to July 5, 2009, Nickolas Muray's photographs of Frida Kahlo were featured alongside Frida's "Self-Portrait of Monkey (1938)" in an exhibition at the Albright–Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York.
The 2009 novel The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver features Kahlo, her life with Rivera, and her affair with Trotsky.
On July 6, 2010, to commemorate the anniversary of her birthday, Google altered its standard logo to include a portrait of Frida, depicted in her style of art.[39]
On August 30, 2010, the Bank of Mexico issued a new MXN$ 500-peso note, featuring Frida and her 1949 painting entitled Love's Embrace of the Universe, Earth, (Mexico), I, Diego, and Mr. Xólotl on the back of the note while her husband Diego was on the front of the note.[40]
A play based on Frida Kahlo's life was premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2008. 'Frida Kahlo: Viva la vida!", written by Mexican Humberto Robles and performed by Gael Le Cornec, received an Artistic Excellence Award and a best female performer nomination at the Brighton Festival Fringe in 2009.
An exhibition of works by Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) and Diego Rivera (1886–1957), "Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: Masterpieces from the Gelman Collection", was shown at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, West Sussex from 9 July to 2 October 2011.
In February 2011, "La Centinela y La Paloma" (The Keeper and the Dove) composed by Latin Grammy composer Gabriela Lena Frank with texts by Pulitzer Prize playwright Nilo Cruz was premiered by soprano Dawn Upshaw and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. The orchestral song cycle imagines Frida Kahlo as a spirit who returns to visit with Diego Rivera during El Día de los Muertos.
Frida's paintings, as well as photographs of the iconic Mexican painter, were featured in a dual retrospective with partner Diego Rivera, entitled Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics, and Painting, at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada, 20 October 2012 to 20 January 2013. This exhibition later traveled to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, 14 February to 12 May 2013.
The Finnish composer Kalevi Aho is composing a four-act chamber opera, called "Frida y Diego". The première is scheduled for the autumn season 2014 at the Helsinki Music Centre. The libretto, in Spanish, is by Maritza Nuñez.[41]
Centennial celebration[edit]
The one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frida Kahlo was commemorated with the largest exhibit ever held of her paintings at the Palacio de Bellas Artes, Kahlo's first comprehensive exhibit in Mexico.[42] Works were on loan from Detroit, Minneapolis, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Nagoya, Japan. The exhibit included one-third of her artistic production, as well as manuscripts and letters that had not been displayed previously.[42] The exhibit was open June 13 through August 12, 2007, and surpassed all previous attendance records at the museum.[43] Some of her work was exhibited in Monterrey, Nuevo León, and moved during September 2007 to museums in the United States.
In 2008, a Frida Kahlo exhibition in the United States with more than forty of her self-portraits, still lifes, and portraits was shown at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and other venues.
A "Frida Kahlo Retrospective" exhibit at the Walter-Gropius-Bau, Berlin from April 30 to August 9, 2010, has brought together more than 120 drawings and paintings, including several drawings never before displayed publicly. Regarding Kahlo's "preferred" birth year (she claimed to be born in 1910 during the Mexican Revolution), the Berlin show is also being touted as a "centennial" exhibition.
La Casa Azul[edit]
Casa Azul ("Blue House") in Coyoacán, Mexico City, is the family home where Frida Kahlo grew up and to which she returned in her final years. Frida's father, Guillermo Kahlo, built the house in 1907 as the Kahlo family home. Leon Trotsky stayed at this house when he first arrived in Mexico in 1937.
The home was donated by Diego Rivera upon his death in 1957, which occurred three years after the death of Frida, and the house is now a museum housing artifacts of her life. Her former home is a popular destination for tourists.

Fontaine provided insurance 4 1/2 minutes later by taking advantage of a carom off the boards following a dump-in for an uncontested power-play tally before adding an empty-net goal to complete his hat trick.The Wild drew first blood with 1:19 remaining in the first period as Fontaine intercepted Yandle's backhanded clearing attempt before sizing up his shot and beating Smith. Boedker forged a tie by backhanding the puck past Backstrom for a power-play goal 2:04 into the second.GAME NOTEBOOK: Phoenix D Oliver Ekman-Larsson returned to the lineup after a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The Coyotes were without C Kyle Chipchura, who missed his first contest of the season with a lower-body injury. ... Boedker also tallied in the Coyotes' 3-1 win over the Wild on Nov. 27. ... Cooke has collected six assists in his last seven contests while Niederreiter extended his point streak to four games.

FRANKLIN, TN -- The No. 10 Texas A&M women's golf team fired its lowest round of the week on Friday to finish tied for 16th place at the 2012 NCAA Championship at Vanderbilt Legends Club North Course.
The Aggies scorched the front nine turning at 2-under with seven birdies, and closed with a 6-over-par 294 to match their second-lowest single round in an NCAA Championship. A&M's 72-hole total of 1,193 (301-298-300-294) was just two strokes shy of its second-lowest all-time score at nationals. It was also two shots shy of the Aggies' score a year ago when they finished seventh.
"I'd probably be lying if I didn't say we're disappointed," A&M head coach Trelle McCombs said. "We started great today, but we didn't finish as well as I'd hoped. We had a lot of momentum and we were climbing, so that was a huge positive, but having bogeys on the last hole didn't leave a very good taste in our mouths for the summer. We'll be back. We'll fight hard and hopefully learn some things from this."
Alabama (+19, 1,171) won its first national championship, finishing a stroke ahead of runner-up Southern California (+20, 1,172). LSU was third at +21 (1,173). Oklahoma's Chirapat Jao-Javanil captured individual honors with a 6-under 282. Alabama's Brooke Pancake was four shots back in second with a 2-under 286.
Individually for Texas A&M, sophomore Katerina Ruzickova finished 13th with a 4-over 292 (73-72-74-73). From Ostrava, Czech Republic, she became the only Aggie with back-to-back top 15 finishes (T-6th in 2011). She now holds A&M's two lowest 72-hole scores at the NCAA Championship (288 in 2011 and 292 in 2012).
"I had a lot of fun this week," she said. "It's been a very interesting experience and I learned a lot. The course wasn't easy. I felt that if you got your momentum going it was pretty sweet, but it was hard to get started well and keep it going for the entire round."
Sophomore Natalie Reeves fired a 1-over 73 on Friday and tied for 51st with 299 (75-75-76-73).
Junior Mary Michael Maggio had A&M's lowest round of the day with an even-par 72.
"This has been her (Maggio's) favorite golf course for a long time," McCombs said. "It's not as if she'd been hitting the ball bad this week. She hit it great, but just didn't get anything to fall. Finally today, she got a few to fall and her speed was good, which helped. I'm proud of her for an even par in the last round."
Maggio (77-77-75-72) and freshman Patricia Garcia (76-74-75-76) both tied for 63rd with 301s. Junior Sarah Beth Davis finished 125th with 320 (83-82-79-76).
Virginia finished fourth in the team standings (1,175), followed by South Carolina (1,176), Arizona State (1,179), Oklahoma (1,179), UCLA (1,181), Purdue (1,182), North Carolina (1184), Vanderbilt (1,186) Florida (1,190), Texas (1,191), North Carolina State (1,191), Duke (1,192) and Baylor (1,193) tied for 16th with A&M. Trailing the Aggies was Colorado (1,196), Tennessee (1,200), Michigan State (1,201), Pepperdine (1,204) Ohio State (1,211), Arkansas (1,214) and Stanford (1,216).
Texas A&M competed in the NCAA Championship for the third straight season and for the fourth time in McComb's five seasons in Aggieland. It was A&M's 11th all-time appearance.

vacation rental description
Ahhhhhh, this is the life. Featured in the award winning "Water's Edge" magazine this 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath low-country style, oceanfront house has it all, including the perfect wrap around porch. Start your day by sitting in a rocking chair watching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Spend the day swimming, fishing, or walking the beach looking for shells. End your day by watching the sunset over Guana State Park. Whether you're in town for the Tournament Players Championship, seeing the sights in St. Augustine and North Florida or just want to spend some time at the beach, this house is conveniently located between prestigious Ponte Vedra Beach and historic St. Augustine. The beach seems almost private as the area has very few year-round residents and the nearest public access is over 1/2 mile away. The house is perfect for a family to rent or for 2
couples to split the expenses. The house has two stories, the first floor having an open floor plan. The fully-equipped kitchen is galley style with a large island. It is equipped with a side-by-side refrigerator with icemaker, dishwasher, microwave, and gas range. No one likes to be away from "the action" while in the kitchen during vacation. Not a problem in this kitchen, it is open to a sitting and eating area with great views of the beach. This eating area is perfect for having meals or counting the different types of shells found on the beach. The living room has a gas fireplace and is open to the dining area. The dining table seats 6 easily. The living room and kitchen area both have cable TV. There is a DVD/VCR player in the living room. A mirrored half bath is located between the 2 areas of the first floor under the stairs. For you Florida Gator fans, the gorgeous maple floors
throughout the house are from the old O'Connell Center basketball court.
Upstairs is the master suite. A king, canopied bed looks out through a large palladium window. A sitting area also affords a wonderful view of the ocean. The marbled master bath has a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub, separate shower with rain bars and a large walk-in closet. The Jacuzzi tub is a romantic place to watch the sunset from inside the house. The second bedroom, with a queen bed, also overlooks the ocean. The third bedroom, with twin beds, a baby crib, and pullout love seat, has a clear view of Guana State Park. The second full bath is upstairs. It has one of the best views from the house. The windows allow an unobstructed view of the beach both north and south of the house. The bath also has an antique claw foot tub. The laundry room is located upstairs. It is equipped with a washer and dryer. All bedrooms have cable TV. Wireless internet access is available throughout the house and a computer is available in the master suite.
In addition to the wrap around porch, the house has a sun deck on the ocean side, complete with a cushioned lounge chair. An outdoor shower is suitably located on the sun deck for rinsing off. Beach chairs are available for your use on the beach, as well umbrellas to shade you from the sun. A gas grill is also available for a delicious cookout.
The house is non-smoking and no pets are allowed. It is centrally air conditioned and completely equipped with linens, games, puzzles, film library, and books. All rooms have ceiling fans and phones. Rocking chairs and an outside dining table are located on the porch.

The Corals of the Mediterranean
All Reports…March 1, 2004
Occupying 1.1 percent of the surface of the world's oceans and 0.3 percent of all salt water, the Mediterranean no longer shelters the great coral reefs that thrived 60 million years ago. This is due to millennia of climactic and oceanographic changes. However, even today this sea harbors a spectacular array of corals, including some which are not found anywhere else.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg is set to deliver a major address on Tuesday on how the city should prepare for the effects of climate change, following months of preparation from a task force the mayor set up after Hurricane Sandy. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to tell the city on Tuesday that Hurricane Sandy-like destruction could return to New York if the city does not do anything.
"We're going to need to make investments as a city, significant investments, if we're going to make sure that we're going to be protected over the long term. This is something that we can address, but it's not going to be easy," Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway told reporters at City Hall on Monday.
City Hall is not saying what those investments are, saving the surprise for the mayor. But removable storm barriers are among the ideas, sources briefed on the proposals said.
When forecasts call for floods, they would be placed into holes drilled in the sidewalk in low-lying areas like Lower Manhattan.
Sources also said Bloomberg will also suggest dunes in the Rockaway, a storm gate at Newtown Creek and man-made ways to break waves off Staten Island's South Shore.
"Sandy brought the reality of climate change really home to New Yorkers in a very real and tangible way, $60 billion worth of economic damage, floods exceeding our hundred-year flood plain," said Andy Darrell of the Environmental Defense Fund.
Flood plains are home to 83 percent more people than 30 years ago, and that number is projected to double by the 2050s. Barring action, those New Yorkers are caught in potential cross-hairs of another storm.
"When they've looked at what the potential storm surge for a so-called 100-year flood could be, the height of that 100-year flood could be five to six feet higher than Sandy in the out-years, and maybe six feet higher," said Seth Pinsky of the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
Bloomberg is expected to say big storm surge barriers are not workable. That sets him apart from Governor Andrew Cuomo and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who both say the idea should be studied.
It is not just more flooding that New Yorkers can expect, it's also hotter days. Currently, the city gets about 18 days a year that are 90 degrees or hotter.
By the 2050s, scientists say that number can grow to about 57 days a year, making the city as hot as Birmingham, Alabama is now.
Heat waves kill more people in the city than any other natural disaster.

More NYSNA volunteers on Staten Island |
The baby was almost naked, cold, and shivering. Her mother was in tears.
"We got her some clothes. We got her some blankets. We got her warmed up."
That's Eileen Lappin, RN, a nurse at Staten Island University Hospital.
Today she helped save the life of at least one baby out on Staten Island, where she's volunteering with a team of a dozen other NYSNA nurses. They're going door-to-door in some of the hardest hit areas, places like Midland Beach and New Dorp Beach.
"We've found families living in their cars, families who have run out of food," said Pat Kane, RN, a nurse at Staten Island University Hospital who's helping coordinate the response.
"Thousands still have no power, no heat," said Kane.
Nurses are helping out from all over. Four nurses from the National Nurses United Registered Nurse Response Network are on a plane now, heading to Staten Island. The nurses are working with ambulance crews from Georgia, Minnesota, and Missouri. Nurses say they will continue the relief work until the crisis is over.
Can you help? This relief effort needs your nursing skills. Call Gabe Kristal at 347.380.2069 or Deb Elliott at 518.937.6673.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

LG demos world's largest OLED TV
LG has, as promised, demoed the world's largest OLED TV at this year's ongoing IFA event in Berlin. LG_OLED_003 LG's 15in OLED is the world's largest, for now Despite only measuring 15in, the screen jumps on the super-thin screen bandwagon kicked off by Sony last year when it launched the 11in XEL-1. Sony's OLED display is …
@Natalia Gritpants
Presumably they were trying to blow people away showing off wide color gamut, or something. Obviously wouldn't really come through shown on another display... :P
Still seems a bit odd, though, you're right. But I can't imagine color reproduction sucks on a panel like that; it just doesn't make any sense - the people designing these things aren't idiots.
