I know, it's hard to bring yourself to spend $16.99 for a hose nozzle. I struggled with the idea for a month before making the decission to buy this nozzle. I truely believe it will last me a lifetime.
Without a doubt the best feature of this nozzle is that you can drop it on the driveway without triggering a blast of cold water, My son used my Craftsman Hose Nozzle and also loved it. He went to the local big box and bought one that looked the same. He paid $11.99 for a Gil*#re.
They simply aren't the same!

My kids and I found this hose nozzle for their uncle for Father's day! He is one if those guys that sprays everything off as often as poss. So nothing (even the back yard & driveway) get dusty. ... and that's not even talking about how often he washes their vehicles! This nozzle was perfect, soft enough for watering the flowers and yet heavy duty strong for scrubbing pick up tires!

Easy to connect and use, has several different settings.

I did not like at all is really on had 1 servicable setting an it was not that good

good nozzle for washing the car or watering plants, lots of volume with plenty of adjustment

I got tired of buying a new nozzle every 6 months at work (and having it leak for half that time) so I bought one of these. Two years later, it's still going strong. This purchase is for a second hose. Best part is knowing that it's a Craftsman and has the full, lifetime warranty. If someone, somehow does manage to break it, I can return it for a new one.

Very solid, well built hose sprayer. Easy to take on and off the end of the hose. Because it is craftsman it should last forever and will be replaced if it stops working.
Satellite Beach, FL
via sears.com
Bought this with in-store pickup. (very fast) I chose the Craftsman model because it has a lifetime warranty (manufacturer only 1 year). Also at a great price. I like the selection of watering patterns and that it shuts off twisting either to the right, or to the left (twists easily). It is well cushioned and I expect the stainless steel parts inside to hold up well. It is comfortable to hold. The threads inside the nozzle were deeply cut, with great precision. My hose fits snugly without leaking a drop. I did extensive research on hose nozzles and nothing out there compares to it according to user reviews. Best I've ever seen and/or owned. I would buy another and advise anyone looking for a great hose nozzle to get one from Sears.
Issaquah, WA
via sears.com
Purchased after I saw all of the positive reviews, but it started leaking after just one season. Positive though is that it does have a Craftsman lifetime warranty, so I was able to replace it.
Aurora, IL
via sears.com
I think this is the best hose nozzle on the market. I like this for several reasons. First of all this is a very durable and heavy duty nozzle, solid and the rubber coating make it easy to twist. I like the variety of sprays especially the heavy rain setting for watering plants and bushes. The handle less design is great for when you reel in the hose, there is nothing protruding to dig into the grass or catch on anything as you reel in. It's may be a bit pricey but it definitely out lasts the cheap nozzles so the higher cost will actually be a savings. I like it so much that I have one for each hose, front and back.

Every month, 2,000 new names are added to the national waiting list for an organ transplant and about 18 people die everyday waiting. The good thing about our kidneys most everyone is born with 2, but only need 1 working kidney to live a normal life. We met two women in the Aberdeen area. One is surviving on dialysis, waiting for a kidney, the other just got one.
Dialysis is a necessity for Joy Stiklestad. The Claremont woman comes to the Kidney Dialysis Unit at Avera St. Luke's Hospital in Aberdeen for 3 hours a day, 3 days a week. It's how she survives. Joy is diabetic and lost function of her kidneys nearly 2 years go.
Joy says, "Dialysis has helped me 100% and I feel better than I have in the last 10 years. It really is a wonderful thing."
Kidneys clean our blood and filter out the toxins we ingest every day. Dialysis does the work of the kidneys when they stop working.
Avera St. Luke's Registered Nurse Melanie Thome says, "Impurities build up in our system, for instance fluids build up in some patients and they end up carrying 10-20 pounds of extra fluid or more. It's hard on your heart and lungs and it might be hard to breath."
Connie Bonen was on dialysis for 4 1/2 years.
Connie says, "I felt like I was getting older. I was tired, going up the stairs I would be short winded."
Connie is one of approximately 82,000 people in this country waiting for a kidney. A month before we met her she finally got the call and a kidney. It came from a 50 year old man who had died. The transplant was done in Sioux Falls at the Avera Transplant Institute.
Connie says, "It's sad someone had to die, but it's good for my family."
Connie wanted to get the point across that it's important if you are an organ donor to not only mark it on your driver's license, but to tell your family your wishes.
As for Joy, she will continue with dialysis for as long as she can waiting, hoping for a kidney.
Joy says, "I got to thinking about my kids and my four grandkids and they are worth living for and to watch them grow up. That was my hope and I'm going to stick to it."
She knows dialysis holds the key to life until she gets the real gift of life.
For more information on becoming an organ donor contact the Avera Transplant Institute.

Richard Childress Racing announced on Monday that Ryan Newman will drive the No. 31 Chevrolet for the team in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition, beginning in 2014. He replaces Jeff Burton, who announced last week his departure from the team at the end of the year. Newman currently drives the No. 39 for Stewart-Haas Racing.
"I'm very pleased Richard and I were able to put this deal together for me to drive RCR's No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet," Newman said. "About five years ago, Richard and I talked about me joining RCR before I signed with my current team, but things just didn't work out; however, we were able to make it happen this time and I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my career. RCR has a long history of winning races and championships, and I want to add to that tradition."
Newman's Sprint Cup Series career has landed him with teams including Penske Racing and Stewart-Haas. Over that time, he has won 17 Sprint Cup races, including the 2008 Daytona 500 and the 2013 Brickyard 400.
"This is a great opportunity for our team," RCR President and CEO Richard Childress said. "I am very proud to have Ryan in our No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet, starting next year. We have high expectations for this No. 31 team. Ryan has proven himself to be a great driver, and I'm looking forward to winning races with him."

PlanetSide 2 beta impressions: a blend of RPG and FPS, with none of the innovations made in either
Here are the things I did in the PlanetSide 2 beta, in no particular order: drove across the desert, waited at a vehicle terminal for seven minutes, chatted with a squadmate about building a custom PC, and stood near a terminal or three to capture them for my faction. I also shot a guy, once. PlanetSide 2 is the follow-up to PlanetSide, one of the only massively multiplayer online first-person shooters in the history of gaming. Both games pursue the same ambitious concept: Hundreds of soldiers engaged in first-person combat, both on foot and in vehicle, warring for control points on a massive map. PlanetSide was ahead of its time, demanding fast, reliable internet that much of the country simply didn't possess. PlanetSide 2 delivers exactly what PlanetSide wanted to, but I'm concerned that it may be too little, too late.
What once was special is now mundane
The blending of RPG elements like leveling up, character customization and classes isn't as unique now as they were in 2003. Black Ops 2 lets players create their own class, a staple of the series for some time now, using a 10-point buy system. Likewise, Halo 4 is allowing for custom loadouts for the first time, and even Halo: Reach featured a heavy focus on classes. The idea that a character can gain XP to unlock new and better equipment or game play changing alterations isn't unique to PlanetSide. So when juggernauts like these enter your ring, how do you compete? Tramell Isaac, senior art director for PlanetSide 2 acknowledged that the game faces stiffer competition than before. "We have competitors like Battlefield and Modern Warfare 3 with some kind of subscription model or some level of persistence, which puts them closer to what PlanetSide is now, on a smaller scale," he told the Penny Arcade Report. When I asked how PlanetSide 2 would appeal to the headshot-loving FPS crowd as well as the phat loots-worshipping MMO crowd, Isaac reiterated the game's blending of RPG and FPS genres. "It's a first-person shooter with advancement," he said. "If you're familiar with the original PlanetSide, we still have implants. Implants are a timed boost that allow you to either get a vehicle faster, allows you to have a faster change of weapon time, or things like that." Isaac used an example of a vehicle-based player who leveled up and used an implant to shorten the respawn timer of his favored vehicle. "But the only way I can get that implant is if I'm Battle Rank 8." Nine or 10 years ago this system was new and exciting. Today it sounds almost exactly like leveling up and picking a perk in the latest Call of Duty. Thankfully, customizing a class is pretty easy in PlanetSide 2. Each of my characters began as light infantry, but I could access the character information panel of the menu by hitting escape and mousing over to the "Redeploy" button, which would allow me to spawn in as an Infiltrator, Medic, Engineer, or Heavy Infantry in addition to the default class. Each of these had different abilities and weapon loadouts. The Infiltrator, for example, had a cloaking mechanism. By winning battles and utilizing my class weapons and abilities, I earned points which I could then spend on upgrading equipment. My cloak stayed up longer, my sniper rifle aim steadied, and so on. Each bit of customization details its benefits well, so you shouldn't end up accidentally spending your points on something you don't understand.
In need of a driving force
Isaac explained that a mission system, not yet implemented in the beta, will "drive people toward certain objectives, and they'll get rewards for doing those particular missions." Isaac said that PlanetSide has historically had a problem of letting people know what to do. "With the mission system in, and giving people objectives to do, and then giving you a quick boon of resources or experience right off the bat by following those objectives trains the player into pursuing those things throughout the game and working their way toward more of—gathering up a squad, getting into an outfit, things that are much more grandiose on the PlanetSide scale," Isaac said. "[There's a] difference between that and Modern Warfare 3, where you're just running with a squad of people, and then the next match you're running with a different squad of people and so on and so forth. This is how we build a community that you see in the MMO world that you won't see in a first-person shooter." The idea makes sense, but I worry about its appeal to the uninitiated. PlanetSide 2 doesn't tell a story the same way as most MMOs – or at least it doesn't yet in the beta – though Sony Online Entertainment has brought on Marv Wolfman, creator of Marvel's Blade and many of DC's Teen Titans, to help flesh out the universe's lore. I hope missions aren't too plain and don't follow the now-archaic "go here and kill X number of Y" formula, but I'm worried. When I asked what kind of rewards players could expect for doing things other than killing players such as exploring the world and continents of the game, Isaac said there was no reward system, "per se." "The reward [for exploring other locations] is you getting to choose the type of playstyle," he said. Wider open areas are more friendly to vehicular combat. Bases are home to close-quarters combat. The type of game you play is determined by where you choose to fight. PlanetSide 2 is about to have their second continent, the icy tundra of Esamir, go live. The game is attractive and Esamir is pretty to look at, but we'll have to see how much variety is added with the new locations.. When I played the beta, I joined up with a squad of 11 other players, many of whom were vets from the original PlanetSide. We roamed around the country looking for fights, occasionally rolling up to a base under siege. A short firefight would ensue, usually lasting about 10-15 minutes, which was followed by another 10-15 minutes of roaming or traveling to the nearest base under attack. Wash, rinse, repeat. I like the persistence of the world and 40+ people gathered in one battle is something to see, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it all felt very pointless. Why are we fighting? To protect a base so that we can more efficiently protect another base? My experience with the beta combined with Isaac's response leaves me feeling there's nothing more to this game than killing for the sake of killing and, while there's nothing wrong with that design, Planetside 2 is entering a crowded market. Even the idea of a persistent world map isn't as novel as it once was. Planetside 2 is also going to face stiff competition from other free to play multiplayer games that seem so prevalent these days. [Editor's note: we had incorrectly stated Planetside 2 would be a retail title when it's in fact free to play. That portion of this paragraph has been removed.] SOE has a hard sell ahead of them if the only truly unique thing they can say about the game is that it has battles much larger than players can find elsewhere else. Right now, PlanetSide 2 feels like a game made for fans of the original PlanetSide and only those fans. A game needs to feature either new ideas or mechanics done much better than anyone else in order to succeed. Let's hope PlanetSide 2 has some more tricks up its sleeve. We'll dig into the missions when they go live, and report back. More MMO reading:

Kokesh named wrestler of the week
Sophomore Robert Kokesh earned Big Ten Co-Wrestler-of-the-Week accolades with Northwestern's Jason Welch, the conference announced Wednesday.
Kokesh took home the Midlands Invitational title at 174 pounds on Sunday, winning six matches to extend his winning streak to 17 and improve his record to 22-1 on the season. The Wagner, S.D. native outscored his opponents 46-7 and added two pins to extend his number to eight on the season. He won two more of his matches by major decision and one by technical fall in addition to his pins.
Kokesh earned the 50th win of his collegiate career in Saturday's quarterfinals and now has 52 as a Husker. He led the Nebraska wrestling team to a tie-for-15th place finish at the Midlands Invitational with the individual crown.
Kokesh was the last Husker to win Big Ten Wrestler of the Week when he took home the honor on Dec. 13, 2011.

We stayed at the De Vere New Place hotel, 10 miles outside Southampton, the night before our embarkation and found their cruise package very good. It included dinner, bed and breakfast, 16 nights car parking and taxi transfers to and from the terminal before and after the cruise and we would certainly stay there again.
At the terminal the check-in and embarkation process was trouble-free and we were delighted with our Superior Suite on deck 9. Our cabin stewardess, Ellen, was a delight, as were our two evening waiters. The food and entertainment was suitably varied and of high quality throughout our time onboard and what struck us most was just how friendly all staff were, from the Master down. It really was a happy ship. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day were simply superb thanks to the staff's efforts.
We, in our mid 50s, were probably some of the youngest passengers aboard, but the age mix was not a problem for us as we made some good friends along the way. We tended to do our own thing whan ashore, but found the mix of land and sae days fine.
Disembarkation was just as impressive, particularly compared to passing through airports.
We enjoyed this trip so much that, whilst we will still look forward to other forms of overseas holidays, we will definitely look to cruise again and more than likely with Fred Olsen.
In short, Fred and his team on the Balmoral made this the best Christmas and New Year we have ever had, and we are already eyeing up a trip for the same time this year.

UK Riots Government suggest a block on social networking?
According to media sources David Cameron has hinted at the government blocking social networks to prevent further riots. Without going into the details of the technical implications of this process that even China struggles with, it seems that the government hasn't considered the financial impact of blocking social networking services.
"Prime Minister David Cameron has suggested that the government plans to block social media services like Twitter as a way of preventing further riots." Read more: Metro
If the Government were to find a way to remove all UK access to Facebook, Twitter and similar social networking services they would need to block the API's that mobile devices use to connect to the social networks otherwise the block would be pointless. By blocking the API's you also block the thousands of businesses from using the authentication methods provided by the likes of Twitter and Facebook.
To make the registration and login process easier for users of online services/businesses, many companies have integrated their services and websites into Facebook and Twitters authentication platforms. These platforms allowing users to use their social media accounts to register/login to sites without having to have a separate login and password for every site/service they use.
For example: James has registered with an online store with his Facebook account and wishes to make a purchase. He adds the items to his basket and proceeds to checkout where he is asked to login. James has registered to the site with his Facebook account so he clicks on the Facebook login to be greeted by our governments social media block and cannot proceed with his order. Depending on the duration of the block and the customer in question, the e-commerce seller has potentially lost a sale. If a large percentage of their customer base use Facebook or Twitter Authentication their business wouldn't be able to make any sales.
Hopefully I am wrong and any block wouldn't impact businesses but I won't hold my breath.
Update: Other areas to consider are: Businesses that employ people to handle their social media, businesses that revolve around social media such as facebook applications and facebook online stores.

By DENISE A. RAYMO
---- — MALONE — A former Paul Smiths man could face 50 years in state prison for ongoing sexual conduct with two children younger than 13.
Elwood J. Adams Jr., 39, formerly of 306 State Route 86, was convicted by a jury in Franklin County Court Monday afternoon following two days of testimony, according to a news release from the District Attorney's Office.
He was found guilty of two counts of first-degree course of sexual conduct with a child before Acting County Court Judge Felix Catena.
Sentencing is set for 1:30 p.m. May 31. Adams could face 25-year sentences for each count.
Because there are two victims, the terms may run consecutive to each other rather than concurrent.
Adams was arrested in May 2012 following a three-week investigation by the DA's Office, State Police and Child Protective Services of the County Department of Social Services.
Investigators said Adams sexually assaulted the two girls in the Town of Brighton and that the incidents had been going on a number of years.
The charges mean he had sexual intercourse with at least one of the girls, prosecutors said.
District Attorney Derek Champagne said the verdict "sends a strong message that the people of Franklin County do not tolerate crimes against children.
"Hopefully, these victims can go on and lead happy and productive lives in spite of the horrors they endured," he said.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant DAs Elizabeth Crawford and David Hayes.
Champagne praised the children for the courage they showed in taking the stand to relive their experiences and face their abuser.
Crawford also thanked State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation Investigators Sean Finn, Jonathan Garrow and Timothy Woodruff for their work on the case.

Had K&L co-owner and main wine buyer Clyde Beffa Jr. not read an article about the gentlemanly hobby of wine collecting in the February 1971 issue of Playboy, he might still be weighing the merits of Holsteins versus Jerseys instead of Château Margaux or Haut-Bailly. Beffa owned a dairy in Tracy, California, from 1967-1973, leaving the the business to co-found K&L Liquors, as it was known back then, in 1976. Clyde started traveling to Europe in 1982 and over the years, he has worked hard to build K&L into one of the nation's go-to sources for the world's diverse wines, developing relationships with winemakers and châteaux owners the world over. Clyde's passion is surely Bordeaux, especially the fabulous wines from Pauillac and St-Julien (like Pichon-Lalande and Léoville-Barton). When he's not drinking France's legendary reds, you'll likely find Clyde indulging in Sauvignon Blanc. A fan of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and white Bordeaux, he'll also tuck into a bottle of Kiwi Sauv Blanc if there's no corkscrew around. These days you'll likely find Clyde extolling the virtues of underrated Bordeaux vintages like 1991, 1997, 1999, 2004 and 2006, or playing with his German Shepherd Sadie. Or you may see him in his vegetable garden and, once in a great while, on the golf course.

Fox 32 News has learned tonight that the White House has decided to nominate former federal prosecutor Zachary Fardon to serve as the next U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of Illinois. Fardon was one of four finalists originally under consideration by the White House to replace Patrick Fitzgerald.
There's been no public announcement yet from the White House.
Fardon is one of two finalists who the White House has been considering for several weeks. The other is Chicago attorney Lori Lightfoot.
The candidates' names were submitted by Illinois Senators Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk to the White House.
Fitzgerald resigned last May. During his 11 years in office, Illinois governors Rod Blagojevich and George Ryan were both convicted on corruption charges and sentenced to lengthy terms in prison.
Working under Fitzgerald, Fardon was a member of the prosecution team which tried the George Ryan case.
Fardon later went to work for the law firm of Latham and Watkins, where according to the firm's website. he has focused on internal investigations, government investigations, white collar defense and business litigation.
Once he is formally nominated, the nomination will go to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and then to the entire Senate, for confirmation.
Reached today, Fardon declined to comment. Lori Lightfoot could not be reached for comment.

- Tim Walton
Head Coach – Ninth Season at Florida
- Oklahoma '96
- 12th season as a head coach
Head coach Tim Walton has changed the face of Florida softball since his first season in 2006, establishing the program as a national powerhouse in just eight years at helm of the Gators squad. Under Walton's tutelage, the Gators became the first Southeastern Conference institution in history to earn four consecutive Women's College World Series berths, as Florida's 2011 squad worked its way to a second WCWS Championship Series appearance, its second in a span of just four years. The Orange and Blue then earned its fifth WCWS berth in 2013, continuing the tradition of excellence under Walton.
Walton reached career milestone win No. 500 in just his 10th season as a head coach in 2012. Coming in his 654th game as a head coach, the Gators used a 2-1 extra-innings victory over SEC Eastern Division rival Tennessee to propel the squad into the 2012 SEC Tournament Championship Game, making Walton the fastest active head coach in the Southeastern Conference to reach 500 victories.
Walton enters his ninth season at Florida with a 437-102 (.811) record at the head of the Gator program and a 560-166 (.771) career record in 11 seasons as a head coach. Under Walton's tutelage, the Gators paced the country in wins in 2013 (58-9), chalking up Florida's fifth 50-win season, all under Walton.
In his eight years at Florida, Walton has led the Orange and Blue to countless school and SEC records, as his squads have earned numerous firsts for the Gator softball program. In 2011, UF advanced to an unprecedented fourth straight Women's College World Series, including its second trip to the Championship Series. Working as a four-time SEC Coach of the Year, Walton has led the Gators to three SEC regular-season and tournament titles. UF has made the NCAA Tournament every year of his tenure, hosted Regionals all eight times and played host to NCAA Super Regionals five different times from 2008-13.
On the softball diamond, Walton has tutored 12 Florida student-athletes to 24 NFCA All-America honors, 16 players to 34 NFCA All-Southeast Region honors, has produced nine WCWS All-Tournament team selections, coached 17 Gator athletes to 35 All-SEC honors and racked up 17 SEC All-Tournament team honors, including three MVPs, two SEC Pitchers of the Year and three SEC Players of the Year. Most recently, Gators Michelle Moultrie (2012) and Kelsey Bruder (2011) picked up back-to-back SEC Player of the Year accolades, becoming UF's third and fourth overall SEC Player of the Year honorees in program history. Additionally, Bruder brought home the 2011 Honda Sports Award, designating her as the nation's top collegiate female athlete in the sport of softball, and shortly after was awarded the NCAA Today's Top VIII Award as one of the top eight NCAA athletes in the country through the 2010-11 school year. Under Walton's direction, the Florida coaching staff has earned NFCA Southeast Regional Coaching Staff of the Year four years and the team was one of Easton's Teams of the Year in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Under Walton's watch, the Gators have shattered 319 University of Florida records since 2006, including 25 last season. In 2008, Walton led his team to a NCAA-record 70-win season and set the best SEC record in league history at 27-1. The Orange and Blue shattered its own SEC single-season walks record with 332 in 2013, while the Gators' .979 fielding percentage ranked sixth in the league record book. Florida's 2011 squad downed eight SEC records, including four team season records for runs (508), RBI (479) and walks (322), while extending its standing single-season homers record to 124. The 2012 Gator squad set the league record for slugging percentage (.627), while the 2009 Gators became only the second team to ever register a perfect conference road record (13-0).
Walton picked up his fourth SEC Coach of the Year honor in 2013 after leading a young Gators squad to both the SEC regular-season and tournament titles en route to their fifth appearance at the WCWS in the last six years. UF played one of the most exciting WCWS games in history – a 15-inning thrilling victory against Nebraska – and finished the season ranked No. 5 in both national polls. Florida drew the largest home attendance in school history when 2,443 Orange and Blue faithful filled KSP Stadium for the showdown between the Gators and Noles, a game UF won, 7-3, in eight innings thanks to a walk-off grand slam from Briana Little. Florida paced the country with 58 wins, going 58-9, including 18-6 in Southeastern Conference play. Florida shattered its own SEC record for single-season walks (332), while downing 25 school records through the campaign. The Orange and Blue ranked second in the country in win-loss percentage (.866), fourth in fielding percentage (.979), seventh in triples per game (0.33), 11th in both ERA (1.83) and scoring (6.46) and 14th in the NCAA with 1.25 home runs per game.
The Gators picked up the No. 2 National Seed, the sixth-straight national seed for UF and the third top-three tournament seed in school history. Five Florida student-athletes were named NFCA All-Southeast Region Team members, with Lauren Haeger and Hannah Rogers representing on the First Team, both also named NFCA 2013 All-Americans, while Kelsey Horton, Kelsey Stewart and Stephanie Tofft were NFCA All-Southeast Region Second Team honorees. Freshman Kirsti Merritt became the first SEC Tournament MVP as one of UF's four SEC All-Tournament Team members alongside fellow freshmen Taylor Schwarz, Stewart and Tofft. Florida owned a 17-6 record against Top-25 opponents in 2013 and led the SEC in 14 categories, including wins (58), runs (43), walks (332), ERA (1.83) and ranked second in fielding percentage (.979).
The 2012 season was the end of an era for the two-time Gator All-American and Academic All-American Moultrie, who went out with a bang as the 2012 SEC Player of the Year and a finalist for two major college softball awards – the 2012 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award and USA Softball's Player of the Year Award. Moultrie helped lead the Gators to a 48-13 overall record and a 21-7 record in SEC play for UF's fifth-straight 20-win league campaign in school history. UF ranked seventh in the country in ERA (1.46), ninth in win-loss percentage (.787) and 15th in the nation in slugging percentage (.482). The Gators finished third in the league through the regular-season slate and advanced to the SEC Tournament Championship Game for just the fifth time in program history, the third under Walton's tutelage, as UF's victory over Tennessee propelled them to not only the league tourney championship game, but gave Walton his 500th career victory as a head coach.
The Orange and Blue received a NCAA Tournament bid for the 13th time in school history and the 10th straight season, as the Gators picked up the No. 5 national seed, their fifth consecutive top-five seed, and hosted a NCAA Regional for the ninth time in program history, the eighth consecutive year. UF boasted two All-Americans in Moultrie and Hannah Rogers, while Kelsey Horton and Lauren Haeger were NFCA All-Southeast Region selections. Moultrie and Horton also reeled in 2012 Academic All-America nods. The Gators had three All-SEC selections: Horton, Moultrie and Rogers, and school-record tying four All-SEC Freshman honorees. Florida set or tied eight school records through the 2012 season as Moultrie put her mark on three alone, including career batting average (.385) and career stolen bases (83) and attempts (99). Moultrie, Florida's lone senior, compiled the second-best senior class win percentage in the country, finishing her tenure 216-41 (.840) throughout her four years on campus. The 2012 Gators paced the league in ERA (1.44) and saves (8) and ranked second in the SEC in slugging percentage (.482), on-base percentage (.396), RBI (296), homers (68) and fielding percentage (.974).
Florida finished 2011 as the No. 2 team in the country and the national runners up behind the success of a 56-13 (.811) overall record, led by the winningest class of seniors in school history. SEC Player of the Year Kelsey Bruder, Stephanie Brombacher, Megan Bush, Tiffany DeFelice and Aja Paculba put on a dominating four-year performance and concluded their careers boasting a 238-33 (.878) overall record and a 94-13 (.878) record in SEC play as UF tallied its fourth 50-win season in school history. UF paced the nation in Academic All-Americans, with four, and boasted a nation-leading six All-Americans and Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region selections, the most possible for a single institution, to accompany seven All-SEC honorees, including two SEC All-Defensive team members. The 2011 Gators jumped out of the gates with a 24-0 start, the best in school history, and worked their way to a fourth straight SEC Eastern Division title, the fifth in Gator history, compiling a 21-7 league mark. The Gators downed over 40 University of Florida single-season, game and career records en route to a fourth WCWS appearance in Oklahoma City, where Cheyenne Coyle, Brittany Schutte and Bruder earned WCWS All-Tournament Team honors next to WCWS Most Outstanding Player, Moultrie.
Statistically, Florida turned in a nation-leading performance in 2011, checking in at first in the country in home runs per game (1.8) and second in slugging percentage (.588). The Gators' 124 homers ranks fourth all-time in NCAA history and their 508 runs check in at sixth in the NCAA record books. UF paced the SEC in wins (56), slugging percentage (.588), runs (508), hits (573), RBI (479), home runs (124) and walks (322). A freshman in 2011, Rogers ranked third in the NCAA in wins (36), second among freshmen, while Schutte turned in 22 homers to rank third in the NCAA. Bush, the UF and SEC career home runs leader (65), ranked fifth in the country with her 21 bombs in 2011 and first with nine sacrifice flies.
Walton's 2010 Gators finished 49-10 with a .831 winning percentage, fourth best in the country. They made the WCWS for the third straight year, were the fourth seed in the NCAA Tournament, garnering a top-five seed for the third straight year, while reaching the quarterfinals of the 2010 WCWS in Oklahoma City. Florida finished the season ranked sixth in both the USA Today/NFCA and ESPN.com/USA Softball polls. The Gators went 20-4 in the SEC, placing second overall and first in the East Division. The 2010 squad set 28 school records, including nine single-game records and seven single-season records. As a power-hitting team, Florida set records for runs (22), hits (21), RBIs (20) and home runs (six, twice) in a game while breaking the school record for batting average (.331), runs (433), RBIs (402), total bases (936) and on-base percentage (.432). While topping the SEC record book for slugging percentage (.627), they ranked second in the nation for the power-hitting percentage while averaging 7.34 runs per game. Their 109 home runs and 1.85 homers per game ranked third in the country. Seven different Gators hit 10 grand slams, the second most in program history, while six UF batters hit home runs nine times in the same game over the 2010 season. The Gators led the SEC in batting average and ranked second in ERA (2.20), on-base percentage, runs, RBIs and total bases, while playing between two and five games fewer than other top conference teams. Walton coached Florida past the 600-win mark in program history while his players garnered two All-Americans honors, five NFCA all-Southeast Region selections, five All-SEC honors, three SEC Freshman team awards, one SEC All-Defensive team selection, two SEC All-Tournament team nods and one WCWS All-Tournament team selection.
The 2009 season brought new accomplishments and challenges for Walton's Gators. Their .926 (63-5) winning percentage was the best in the country, as was their 0.69 ERA. Florida garnered the program's first-ever preseason No. 1 ranking in both the USA Today/NFCA and ESPN.com/USA Softball polls and returned to the top spot for 12 weeks, including three where they tallied unanimous first-place votes. The Orange and Blue then earned the No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament and for the second time in program history, Florida punched its ticket to the WCWS in Oklahoma City. UF soared to new heights with its first-ever berth in the championship series, going 8-0 in games leading to the showdown. The No. 2 final ranking was the highest in the program's history to that point.
Walton led the '09 team as it broke or tied 61 school records, including the two conference records. The Gators went 15-0 on the road and recorded only two home losses. They captured the SEC regular-season and tournament titles and set the country's longest win streak of the season at 29 games. In all, Walton coached five All-Americans, six NFCA All-Southeast Region selections, seven All-SEC honorees, the most in Florida history, two SEC Freshman team selections, four SEC All-Defensive team members, four SEC All-Tournament team members, including the tournament's MVP, two WCWS All-Tournament team members and the SEC Pitcher of the Year as Stacey Nelson repeated the accomplishment, all while earning his second SEC Coach of the Year award.
Walton set a few milestones of his own during the 2009 season, reaching 300 career wins on Feb. 27 with a 10-5 victory over Pacific in the Gators' sweep of the Cox Invitational. He also became the winningest coach in Florida's history when he tallied his 193rd victory on March 21 as the Gators downed Tennessee, 7-0. Walton surpassed former coach Karen Johns' (2001-05) previous high (192) in 76 fewer games. In the 11-2 win over Mississippi State on April 4, Walton became the first coach in program history to amass 200 wins.
Walton's third season was the true turning point for Florida softball, as the team racked up the NCAA-record 70 wins and set many firsts for the program. The 2008 squad was the first team in school history to reach the WCWS and finished 3-2 in their first appearance, notching a spot in the semifinals. The '08 Gators were also the first UF softball team to host a Super Regional, garnering the program's first-ever No. 1 seed. UF took the SEC Tournament Championship for the first time as the Gators defeated Alabama, 4-1, in the title game. They also captured the SEC title for the second time in program history with their 27-1 record, the best winning percentage (.964) and most conference wins in SEC history.
The 2008 season also saw the program's first No. 1 ranking while the team broke or tied 72 school records through the course of the year. The Gators tallied a program-high 37-game win streak and a 41-game home win streak, which spanned the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Walton also coached a school-record five players to Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region accolades and All-America honors. He also earned SEC Coach of the Year honors while coaching four All-SEC players, four SEC All-Defensive team members, four All-SEC Freshmen team members and the SEC Pitcher of the Year.
In Walton's second season, the Gators claimed the school's first 50-win (50-22) season and a NCAA Super Regional appearance. Florida also advanced to the SEC Tournament Championship game in 2007 for the first time since the inaugural 1997 season. In addition, two Gators earned Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region honors, as well as All-America accolades, becoming only the second and third players in program history to earn the high honor, with Kim Waleszonia being the first position player named to an All-America team. As a team, the Gators set 59 school records.
In his first season, Walton led the Gators to a 43-25 overall record, making him the winningest first-year head coach in program history. The 43 wins were the most by the Gators since 2000 and the .632 winning percentage was the second-best in program history. Walton led the Gators to set 26 school records. Four individuals were named to All-SEC teams, a then program high, and senior Kristen Butler became only the second Gator to earn SEC Player of the Year honors. The Gators tallied another first when they defeated a No.1-ranked team for the first time ever, beating defending national champion Michigan, 3-2, on Feb. 18, 2006.
Walton, the third head coach in the history of the Gator program, came to Florida from Wichita State University in Wichita, Kan., where he had been the head coach for three seasons. In 2005, Walton led the Shockers to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 16 years as they earned the first at-large bid in school history. Wichita State finished the 2005 season with a school record 46-18 record and broke 30 school records in the process.
Walton began his tenure at Wichita State with a bang in 2003. The team put together one of the best turnarounds in the nation that year, improving its 2002 record by 18 wins to a 39-20 overall record. The Shockers' 39 wins was a school record at that point. Under Walton's watch, Wichita State ranked among the top 30 in the nation for ERA and fielding percentage, including the fifth-best fielding percentage in 2005 (.977).
Walton has been a part of national championship teams as an assistant softball coach and as a baseball player, both for the University of Oklahoma. Before heading to Wichita, Walton served as an assistant softball coach for the Sooners, as the hitting coach and outfielders coach. In his four seasons at OU, the Sooners won three Big 12 titles and made three consecutive WCWS appearances, including winning the 2000 NCAA title.
Walton played baseball for two years at Cerritos Junior College in his home town of Cerritos, Calif., before transferring to Oklahoma. Walton made two trips to the College World Series as part of the Sooners pitching staff, earning the win in the 1994 national title game in a 13-5 victory over Georgia Tech.
As a head coach, Walton stresses academics and community involvement with his teams, as well as on-field performance. Since arriving in Gainesville, Walton has had his team involved in the community through Shands Hospital, March of Dimes, Climb for Cancer, Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House and Friends of Jaclyn, among other activities. In 2009, the Gators held the inaugural "Gators Swing for Cancer" event, which annually raises money and creates awareness for a number of different Shands hospital-affiliated charities. The Gators were awarded both the 2010 and 2011 UF Life Skills Cups for having the most community service hours of any Gator athletic team in back-to-back years.
In the classroom, Walton stresses the importance of academic success, and since his arrival in Gainesville, the Gators have placed a strong emphasis on their work in the classroom. In the summer of 2012, the University of Florida softball program received public recognition from the NCAA as one of 30 Division I women's softball program's to post multiple-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores in the top-10 percent of all softball teams across the nation. Florida was one of just two Southeastern Conference softball programs to be honored by the NCAA for the four-year period ending in the 2010-11 academic year. The Gators struck again in the summer of 2013, and for the second consecutive year earned public recognition from the NCAA for multiple-year APR success. Florida was the only Southeastern Conference institution recognized for the 2011-12 academic year.
In 2009, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced the Gators had the fifth highest GPA in the country with a 3.49 cumulative team GPA, its highest in program history thanks to a 3.53 fall average – the highest of any UF sport – and five individual 4.0s. Since 2006 when Walton took over the helm of the Gator softball program, 40 Gators have earned 73 SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades, 30 freshmen have been named to the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll, 11 players have been named Capital One Academic All-District selections 21 times and eight UF softball student-athletes have picked up 13 Capital One Academic All-America honors. The Gators have turned in one of the nation's top 16 GPAs four years under Walton, while ranking in the top 30 among Division I programs two times. UF softball has a 100 percent graduation success rate for those student-athletes who started college in 2005, as calculated by the NCAA and released Oct. 25, 2012, well above the national average of 85 percent for the sport of softball. The Gators were one of four Florida athletic teams to post a 100 percent GSR: volleyball, women's tennis and women's basketball.
"The importance of academic and community involvement stresses life after softball," Walton said. "These student-athletes are going to be part of a community – it helps them learn what it takes to be good people. Being a student-athlete at the University of Florida makes you a role model. We want our team to be involved in the community and perform in the classroom to show young people that playing athletics in college is about more than what they do on the field."
Not only is Walton's impact reflected on the collegiate softball field, but his success as a coach has trickled to the national level as a school-record four Gators accepted invitations to participate in USA Softball's 2011 Women's National Team Selection Camp, two of which were named to the Women's National Team – Moultrie and Schutte – and represented Florida and Team USA in 2011. Moultrie and Schutte reeled in the 2011 World Cup of Softball VI gold medal with the US National Team and Moultrie went on to lead Team USA to a Pan American Games gold medal in October 2011 before also being named to the 2012 USA Softball Women's National Team.
Three 2011-12 underclassmen in Cheyenne Coyle, Jessica Damico and Haeger were members of the US Women's Junior National Team which contributed to Team USA's gold medal at the IX ISF Junior Women's World Championship in Cape Town, South Africa, in December 2011. Haeger tossed the Junior World Championship Gold Medal Game, allowing just five hits, while fanning eight batters – including the last two – as Team USA defeated Japan to earn the Red, White and Blue's second-consecutive Junior World Championship Title.
In July 2013, rising sophomore Kelsey Stewart helped lead the Red, White & Blue Junior Women's National Team to a silver medal at the ISF X Jr. Women's World Championship, where Team USA squared off with Japan in the gold-medal game. Stewart batted .450 for Team USA with seven runs scored, four RBI and three triples.
Gator pitching standout Stacey Nelson was also a member of the 2009 USA Softball Women's National Team.
Walton additionally hit the national softball coaching scene in 2010 when he was honored by the USSSA Pride of the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) professional softball league by being named head coach of the Florida Pride (Orlando). Walton led the Pride to the 2010 NPF Championship title – the championship victory and NPF trophy was the first ever in Florida Pride history. Walton's 2011 squad won the 2011 regular-season title en route to the runner-up spot at the NPF Championship, while the coaching staff earned 2011 Coaching Staff of the Year honors.
Walton has tutored a total of six former Gators that have been drafted into and/or play in the NPF organization with the opportunity to continue their softball playing careers professionally, including Kristen Butler, Francesca Enea, Megan Bush, Kelsey Bruder, Aja Paculba and Michelle Moultrie.
After graduating from Oklahoma with a degree in history, Walton played with the Philadelphia Phillies minor league organization from 1995-97.
Walton is married to the former Samantha Rhoten, who was a basketball player at Oral Roberts. The couple has two sons, Brooks (14) and Palmer (8), and a daughter, Camden (11).

Long Silk Skirt - Regular 24 24
A Winner I absolutely love this skirt. The colors are vibrant, the quality is great, and the fit is perfect. August 17, 2014
comfortable I really like this skirt - the cotton lining is soft and feels nice on and actually, being silk, it is also warm for cooler weather making it more versatile. It looks well made to me but I don't actually wear skirts very often so I'm not likely to ever wear this one out. At the sale price it's a good value. I wish it had pockets, my only complaint. February 15, 2014
disappointed I bought this skirt at full price, expecting the usual good quality from GH. It fits well, as shown, was very light and comfortable for summer, great for travel. I wore several times and find that the silk fabric is fraying and the seams are coming apart. It is NOT tight in any way on me so that is not the cause. It appears there is not a way to repair it as the fabric is shredding. Extremely disappointing, especially at the price I paid, but even more because I really liked and enjoyed the skirt. February 15, 2014
Nice travel skirt I have several of these skirts and like all of them. I don't have a problem with the lining, it's fine. An easy skirt for travel, and that's what I was looking for. Twist it up and throw it in the bag. I wouldn't pay full price, but at the sale price, I am pretty happy. February 1, 2014
Nice at the Price I would not have bought this skirt at the full price. When it was reduced, I took a chance because I love longer skirts that are light and cool in the dog days of summer. I figured I would put it in my closet for a few months and have a nice light skirt for the next heat wave. While the design on the skirt is a bit sentimental and old fashioned, I think that is fine for a tea length skirt. Floral summer patterns are fun. I didn't find this skirt as flimsy and awful as some of the reviewers made it sound. In fact, it is the right weight silk with the right lining for the high temperatures and unbearable humidity of June/July/August in New York. I do think it would be overpriced if I paid the full amount. Having bought it on sale, I am more than satisfied to have an airy, lightweight skirt that I'll be able to throw on when the temperature soars. And the pattern lets you wear a multitude of colors on top. A pretty addition to my summer wardrobe, and a good value. January 21, 2014
lovely material This skirt is lovely, material and the feel of it. Very comfortable to wear. I did order 1 and noticed the seam was split and would have frayed, but got a quick replacement and seems to be fine. Beautiful style. November 1, 2013

text: 1 Nov 2013 ANTHONY MAULE In our ongoing series, we introduce the photographers from Issue 3 Above: Caravaggio-inspired self-portrait by Anthony Maule "Virgos" photographed by Anthony Maule for CR Issue 3 was one of the more overtly referenced features from Caravaggio. Here, Maule uses this piece of art history to tell us his own story as an artist.RABBIT HOLE "At a very early age. I was about 14 years old when we had a photography course introduced in our school, which really caught my attention. I've always had a wild imagination and that course gave me a taste of a world that I could escape into. It was very immediate and I just disappeared into it like a rabbit down a hole."START UP "I first moved to London in 1995, shortly after graduating and I stayed for a few years and assisted in photo studios for a bit but then left because I was so young and wanted to do so many other things. I returned in 1999 much more focused and worked for the next seven years as a freelance assistant, working with around 70 photographers on all sides of the industry so my apprenticeship if you like was very varied. During that time, my first commissions came from 10 magazine and Dazed and Confused and then things slowly moved forward from there."MULTI MEDIUM "I love photography obviously but I love multimedia too and I incorporate that into my work sometimes when I can. I'm known as quite a technical photographer that likes to experiment but I don't always work in that way. I'm very open to exploring new things, but I get bored easily—that's my problem. When I meet people they always seem to remember the work I used to do on TV Screens, which is weird because there's not that many of them. For some reason people really remember them and still talk about them, which is nice."MEMORY TRIP "Recalling memories is difficult for me because I have the world's worst memory and I'll generally be the one that remembers the car crash but not the wedding. I guess it's those times when you feel totally blessed to be in the presence of a great artist, be it a musician or an actor, or whatever they do. It's the fact that being a photographer puts you in such close connect to some incredible minds."STYLE GUIDE "How I'd describe my style: British, technical, experimental, and imaginative."DIFFERENT STROKES "My imagination, my experiences, my sensibility and the way that I think and respond when Im shooting are all traits that are individual to me and define me and my creativity as a photographer. Obviously, it's those personal characteristics which make us all different and approach similar subjects in different ways."ICON STATUS "The pioneers, the purists, the war photographers, the experimentalists, the anonymous, it just goes on and on…that list is endless and I'm forever discovering new photographers that I'd previously never heard of. It's a bit like cinema."FAMILY PHOTO "My favorite photograph is not one, but a collection of very old family portraits that were passed down to me when my grandmother died."OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS "My favorite part of my job are those moments when I have the opportunity to fully express myself artistically without restrictions or compromise. That and the amazing people I get to work with."OFF SET "I've always been obsessed with cinema, especially foreign film. My latest obsession is motorbikes. I'm also training to run a marathon."SUBJECT CHANGE "My ideal subject would probably be a musician or solo artist that I could work with over a long period of time. I can imagine that would be very artistically rewarding."HIDDEN TALENT "I used to be in a garage band in the '90's. We never really came up with a name for the band and it never got that serious, but I remember at the time feeling really passionate about creating original music. I was the singer and played guitar and over the course of two years, I must have written around 100 songs—I was like a machine. I think there's just something about being in your early 20's…it's that first realization of adulthood and freedom; you explode with energy and ideas and I remember just wanting to write every thought down and put them into songs. It's the only time in my life that I almost walked away from photography. Music was such an important part of my childhood and I was heavily influenced by my parents in that way, they both played and taught music, my father also made guitars and my brother was a total metal head so I guess along the way all that would rub off somewhere. I wish I'd kept all the old notes, I don't have any of it now, just a few basement recordings of the band that are kicking around at my parents place somewhere."CARINE'S CORNER "I can't pick just one but the last story I shot for CR "Virgos" was one of the most artistically satisfying jobs that I've done for a very long time."

If the community edition of the JBoss enterprise Java application server could no longer be called JBoss, what other name would you choose? JOpen? JWorker? JFree? JMinion? JBoss community users get to decide.
Red Hat is planning to change the name of the upstream community edition of JBoss, and is allowing the community to vote on the new name. Much like when Red Hat spun off the community version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and renamed it Fedora, so too will JBoss have a new name, said Jason Greene, Red Hat's principal software engineer for JBoss.
[ Learn how to install Apache on Linux in InfoWorld Test Center's step-by-step guide. | Track the latest trends in open source with InfoWorld's Open Sources blog and Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
The company is also making efforts to get the application server to work more closely with NoSQL databases, starting with a Hibernate plug-in for MongoDB. The company made both announcements at the Oracle OpenWorld conference, being held this week in San Francisco.
Marc Fleury created JBoss in 1999, as a by-product of research he was doing into middleware while working at Sun Microsystems. He later formed an eponymously named company around the application server he created, which proved to be a popular choice for running enterprise Java applications, thanks to its modular design and to it being open source. Red Hat purchased JBoss in 2006 for $350 million.
Changing the name will reduce the confusion people have between the open-source version, JBoss Application Server, and the commercial version Red Hat sells, called JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, or JBoss EAP, Greene said.
"We really have two classes of users," said Greene. "The enterprises users, who are looking for a reliable, stable platform with a long maintenance term, and the more traditional open- source developers [who want to] rapidly innovate and participate in cutting-edge technologies." Red Hat hopes that having two distinct names will clarify that difference.
The JBoss community will be able to suggest and vote on new names until November, when the company will announce the winner at the Java Devoxx conference in Antwerp, Belgium.
In addition to the JBoss Application Server name switch, Red Hat made some other announcements about its work around JBoss. The company has partnered with 10gen, which maintains the MongoDB NoSQL database, to develop a simple, standardized way for JBoss users to have their programs access NoSQL data stores. Specifically they are working on a graft for the Hibernate framework, which for many programmers has become "the de facto data access framework for Java," said Steve Yi, director of planning and strategy at Red Hat middleware.
"Our objective here is to provide a consistent programming model for NoSQL applications," Yi said.
Hibernate already provides a standardized way for working with SQL databases. This program, called the Hibernate Object/Grid Mapper (OGM), will provide a similar interface for NoSQL data stores as well, starting with MongoDB.

Cobb Park
FORT WORTH -- Southeast Fort Worth's Cobb Park was once known more for the crimes that have happened in and around it than its natural beauty, but now it's on the brink of a renaissance.
After decades of neglect, Cobb Park has undergone renovations that were celebrated with a dedication ceremony in April of 2012. The natural beauty of Cobb Park is no longer hidden under neglect, but its past still casts a long shadow despite efforts to polish this diamond in the rough.
"It had some bad vibes, even when I was in high school," said Derrick Williams, who grew up in an apartment complex nearby. "You didn't really come to Cobb Park because you have bad things, but, you know, that's in the past. Times have changed."
Williams is a part of that change as a part of Friends of Cobb Park. He'll will be at the park this weekend, along with other artists, musicians, and vendors during the Art on The Cobb Community Arts Festival.
"They don't get this," Williams said. "A lot of kids don't get the opportunity to go to the Main Street Arts Festival or the Mayfest."
Traci Walker also grew up nearby. She helped organize the weekend festival.
"We just want everyone to come out and experience love and community," she said. "Something different, as opposed to everything you hear about this side of town."
People used to hear about stolen cars and even murder victims found in the park. The park gained worldwide notoriety in 2001 when Chante Mallard dumped the body of a homeless man she hit with her car there after driving home with the man lodged in her windshield.
The city spent $4 million renovating the park. New entry way monuments were built, along with new benches and gazebos, and two basketball courts were added.
"It's been a long time since we've been in Cobb Park," said Gregory Beck, who drove through the park Friday afternoon to get a look before the weekend festival. "And it's really looking nice."
With a new look and a new image, many hope Cobb Park will get a new, nice reputation.
The Art on the Cobb Community Arts Festival is from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday in Cobb Park. The park is in southeast Fort Worth and is accessible from Martin Luther King Freeway and from East Berry Street.

Apparently, great white shark encounters are not restricted to Australia, South Africa and California.
Saturday, moments before a dive in 130 feet of water off Fort Pierce Inlet, a group of four divers encountered a great white shark measuring about 12-14 feet in length. They also captured good video of the encounter, using a pole mounted gopro.
