3D sports producers are starting to get the hang of it, judging by this weekend's cable and satellite broadcast of the Yankees vs. Mariners game, brought to you from Seattle.
DirecTV, Cox, Verizon, FiOS, Comcast, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable and some regional services brought the first major league 3D baseball game to HD subscribers in the New York and Seattle areas.
HD Guru Gary Merson gives the broadcast a qualified thumbs up:
The telecast gave a new perspective to the game, highlighting the physical space and interaction of the fielders as well as the pitcher to the batter like no other prior broadcast. You need to see it to appreciate it. My perspective shifted from distant spectator in a 2D HDTV broadcast to an umpire's eye view and "you are there" immersive feel.
True to form, however, Merson notes some "distracting and annoying technical glitches."
Among them: the treatment of the electronic scoring graphics.
Merson explains:
Like the World Cup in 3D, the score graphic is placed in front of the screen (called negative Z-axis); while the field view perspective is behind the screen. This creates a brain/eye conflict, and can contribute to fatigue. I plea to the network powers, please get the graphics to be at the screen plane whenever there is a distant field view.
Despite his usual gripes, detailed on the HDGuru.com website, Merson concludes, "Overall, the debut demonstrates how sports will drive 3D adoption."Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are coming off their best season in eight years. A huge reason for their success is freshman sensation Marcus Smart.
Cowboys fans have been waiting to find out if he''ll return to Stillwater or turn pro. The wait is almost over. A news conference has been scheduled for 12:30p.m. Wednesday where Marcus will make his announcement.
He's projected by NBADraft.net to be the third overall pick.
Tuesday night he said he goes back and forth on his decision everyday.
Markel Brown and Le'Bryan Nash are expected to be with Smart for tomorrow's announcement leading many to believe that all three are returning next season.
Definitely good news for Cowboys fans.

text: Younger readers will probably wonder why bullpen carts were necessary back in the day, even in smaller stadiums such as Fenway Park (seen here in this postcard). The reason is obvious in its simplicity: Relievers pitched longer per-game stints back then and spent most of the season in a high state of fatigue. The cart rides helped them preserve precious energy for game conditions.

Pearl: If we had AFFORDABLE healthcare for all, parents would not have to be spending their savings paying medical bills for adult children or paying for "their" health insurance. THAT is your "silent killer". Our non existent affordable healthcare system! You seem to be concerned with our buying Long Term policies but our President seems to be only concerned with driving all of us into the MEDICAID system in our old age. Do you really think most seniors who are trying to help their families can do that and buy Long Term Care too? My concern is seeing that my adult DD has the healthcare insurance she desperately needs "now". How I end up in my future is up to the unseen forces and not going to be helped by some Long Term Care policy. If the government would make legal what needs to be legal, none of us seniors would have to worry about being a "dole" on Medicaid rolls.

Norella "Bernie" Bosold-Umphenour, 73, went to be with the Lord, accompanied by His Angels, on June 12, 2011, after a brief but valiant fight against lung cancer.
She was born on June 29, 1937, in Superior, Minn., to Bernard "Barney" and Lillian Bowles. She graduated from Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane in 1955. She later married Julius B. Bosold and had five children.
After 22 years with Banner Furnace and Fuel Co. as a credit manager, she retired in 2003. Prior to that, she worked at Boyle Fuel and in earlier years as a school bus driver on the Bryant School route.
Over the years, she had belonged to the Moose Lodge and the Elk's
She enjoyed a variety of interests and activities during her life, including card and board games, writing poetry, golfing, dancing, antiques, panning for gold, the "Zags" and travel. However, her favorite thing was entertaining family and friends.
She was known for her excellent cooking, lively sense of humor and a warm and welcome spirit that drew so many to her.
The greatest joy in her life though, without a doubt, was her children and grandchildren. She was an amazing grandmother, spending as much time as she could with the kids. They were at her house frequently or went to eat, shopping, movies, theme parks or sporting events. She attended numerous ballet recitals, plays, concerts, track, cross country and gymnastic meets, basketball games, including Hoopfest, and graduations.
She was incredibly generous with her kids and grandkids and always tried to make everyone feel special.
As a model of love, sacrifice and service, there are no words to describe how much she is already missed.
Bernie was preceded in death by both parents and her brother James Fly.
She is survived by her husband, James Umphenour of Spokane; previous husband, Julius Bosold of Spokane; sons, Mark Bosold of Pullman and Matthew Bosold of Spokane; daughters, Kim Bosold of Spokane, Julie Watson of Liberty Lake and Jan Fall of Spokane; seven granddaughters; five grandsons; sisters, Libby Sharp and Linda Anderson; and a brother, Rex Bowles.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Francis of Assisi Church, 1104 W. Heroy, Spokane, at noon on Thursday, June 23, 2011. A rosary will be held on Wednesday, June 22, at 7 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to Hospice House of Spokane.

Fixing Masonic Avenue
Does Masonic Avenue really need adjusting? There are certain streets in the City that need to act as thoroughfares. Do we need to traffic calm, or do we need to teach pedestrians and cyclists to be more careful? These are the arguments laid out.
The fact is that City's are dynamic and ever changing. When Masonic was envisioned it was during a time of the height of automotive dominance in our policy making. Now we are more pedestrian again. We need to have safer streets - particularly ones that connect neighborhoods and draw pedestrians to a surrounding park and other amenities.
It is time we slow cars down where appropriate, but not kill the thoroughfare altogether because it does serve its purpose.
Nightmares May Fade
Masonic Avenue serves a central purpose to connect Pacific Heights to the Haight-Ashbury, but it reeks with the danger of death. As so pointed out when a German tourist riding a bike was killed in a hit-and-run, more initiatives need to be taken to protect those who not only are familiar with the area, but also travelers.
There is no way around the issue--Masonic Avenue is too important for commuting and parking to limit--except the street itself (pun intended). Instead of limiting the number of traffic lanes from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily, as the SFMTA suggests, the city may easily put signs instructing riders to use a side street by taking Central one block east, or at the very least--bikers should ride on the sidewalk.
Money does not need to be wasted.
Educate bicyclists and and
Educate bicyclists and and pedestrians.
Getting Target to Contribute
Since Target wants to locate its store at the shopping center on Masonic, as part of its requirement to locate there, they should be required to pay significant fees to help traffic calm and improve the street. I mean their traffic will add considerably to the area, so they might as well pay for it.

For more information, contact CCAC Public Relations.
PITTSBURGH—The Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) has been awarded a $1.21 million Nursing Diversity Grant by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The three-year grant will expand CCAC's RN Achievement program, which is designed to prepare diverse and disadvantaged students for careers in nursing. The grant will provide educational services, scholarships and stipends for qualifying students to increase participation and retention in CCAC's Nursing Program.
"CCAC is very pleased to be able to expand our successful RN Achievement program thanks to the continued generous support of HRSA," said Alex Johnson, CCAC president. "This grant reflects not only our commitment to promoting diversity and access to higher education but also the quality of our nationally recognized health career programs."
CCAC is first nationally among two-year colleges for the number of associate's degrees awarded each year in Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing according to annual rankings by Community College Week. CCAC presented degrees to 412 nursing graduates in the 2009–2010 academic year, the period included in the current study. The magazine also ranks CCAC second nationally among two-year institutions for the number of degrees awarded in Health Professions and Related Programs.
CCAC's RN Achievement program meets HRSA's goal of eliminating health barriers by assuring an appropriate supply and distribution of registered nurses. The program was established through CCAC's first HRSA Nursing Diversity Grant in 2008. The current grant will continue the program's successful initiatives while expanding the number of students served. It also adds an RN to BSN cooperative partnership with Carlow University to help program graduates attain higher-level nursing degrees.
The grant will continue four key initiatives—generating early interest in nursing among high school students, reaching out to disadvantaged students through preparatory work as well as financial assistance, working to improve retention and incorporating cultural diversity sensitivity training into the program.
First, CCAC will work to increase recruitment of high school students by partnering with the Pittsburgh Public Schools to provide information designed to interest students in nursing careers. This will include a series of Nursing Career programs held at the college's four campuses and open to all high school students.
Second, the college will work to increase opportunities for disadvantaged students in order to gain entry into the competitive program by providing a structured Pre-entry Nursing Year in which students will receive tutoring, support and guidance at CCAC–Allegheny Campus. A limited number of students will also receive financial assistance in the form of stipends during the Pre-entry Nursing Year and scholarships during the first and second years after admission to the nursing program.
Third, CCAC will work to increase student retention to facilitate completion of the nursing program through comprehensive support efforts, academic assistance, faculty interaction and guidance. Each of the three years of the grant, 45 students will benefit from the program's comprehensive intervention strategies that provide individual attention and support. This reflects an increase from 36 students annually under the prior grant.
Finally, the college will provide cultural diversity training to faculty and students of the program.
Multiple regional partners provided letters of commitment—from local health care facilities that will continue to invite CCAC nursing students to shadow routine caregiving to local educational institutions that will enable CCAC nursing students to observe higher-level Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) or Master of Science in nursing (MSN) courses to encourage further education after completing the RN degree with CCAC.
This is CCAC's second HRSA Nursing Workforce Diversity grant. This project is supported by funds from the Division of Nursing (DN), Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

Students who have been admitted to the Division of Continuing Education may apply for financial aid. Students who do not have 60 or more transferable credits must have a high school diploma or equivalent. Financial aid is available for summer, fall and spring semesters as summer is the beginning of each academic year. Eligibility for all types of financial aid is determined by completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the Linfield Application for Financial Aid (LAFA), and the student's Academic Plan. A student's financial aid award is based on the FAFSA information and the amount of credits on the Academic Plan. The financial aid award may be revised if there is a change in the student's enrollment. The following financial aid programs are available to DCE students.
The Federal Pell Grant Program awards money directly from the federal government to eligible undergraduate students. Students are notified of their eligibility when they receive the Student Aid Report (SAR). The amount of the grant is determined by the number of hours enrolled and federal funding levels.
This grant is administered on a need basis by the Oregon Student Access Commission and is available to Oregon resident undergraduate students who are enrolled at least half time. Half time is defined as at least 6 semester credits each during Fall and Spring semesters. Eligibility is determined from the Oregon Student Access Commission.
Eligible students enrolled at least half-time may borrow long-term, low-interest loans from the Federal Direct Loan Program. Freshmen are eligible for a maximum loan amount of $5500; sophomores $6500; juniors and seniors $7500. Students who are considered independent by federal regulations (see FAFSA instructions) may be eligible for an additional unsubsidized loan: $4000 for freshmen/sophomores and $5000 for juniors/seniors. Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who show financial need by government guidelines. Interest will be paid by the federal government while students maintain at least half-time enrollment status. In order to maintain loan deferment status, students must complete 6 credits during Fall semester and 6 during Spring semester. Summer and Winter terms do not affect eligibility for loan deferment. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not show financial need by government guidelines. Students may defer both the principal and interest payment of their unsubsidized loans while enrolled in at least 6 credits per semester.
Adult Degree Program Scholarships
Alumni and friends of Linfield College's Adult Degree Program have generously donated funds to establish scholarships specifically for students in the program. Awards are based on academic merit and financial need and do not require repayment. If a student is already receiving financial aid, the award will be made in the context of the whole financial aid package. The overall award cannot surpass need, but most financial aid recipients have need that is not met by other forms of financial aid. Students may receive one of the scholarships only one time.
Application Deadlines: August 30 for fall semester award. January 31 for spring semester award.
Financial aid disbursements will be applied to your student account upon acceptance of your financial aid award, completion of all paperwork, confirmation of your enrollment by the census date of each semester and regular and substantive interaction in each of your courses. You must be enrolled in at least 6 credits each semester to receive your Federal Direct Stafford Loan funds.
To apply for financial aid, you must complete the following:
You may download all the necessary forms from the Adult Degree Program/Financial Aid website. For further information, call 888-471-2225 or 503-883-2225.
Students at Linfield College are eligible for financial aid regardless of race, sex, age, or marital status in compliance with Title IX requirements.
You are required to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Linfield College is mandated to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the academic progress of financial aid recipients. The standard is cumulative and includes all periods of enrollment, even those in which you did not receive financial assistance. All 35 financial aid is awarded with the understanding that you will maintain SAP. Linfield monitors SAP annually for programs longer than a year. In order for you to maintain SAP you must:
Quantitative Standard: You must earn the minimum number of credits for each academic year based on your enrollment status. For example, full-time requires completion of 24 credits successfully for two semesters (12 credits per semester), half-time requires completion of 12 credits successfully for two semesters (6 credits per semester).
Max Time Frame: You must complete all degree requirements within a specified time frame.Mmatriculated students are eligible to receive federal financial aid for a maximum of 150% of the time required to complete a degree or certificate program. Examples: (a) A minimum of 125 credits are required to earn a baccalaureate degree. The maximum number of credits for which a student may be eligible to receive federal financial aid is 187.5 (125 x 150%). (b) A minimum of 24 credits are required to earn a certificate. The maximum number of credits for which a student may be eligible to receive federal financial aid is 36 (24 x 150%).
Pace: You must maintain pace. Pace is measured annually and is required to ensure you complete your program of study within the maximum time frame. Pace is calculated by dividing cumulative credits successfully completed by cumulative credits attempted. For example: Cumulative Credits Successfully Completed _______ ÷ Cumulative Credits Attempted__________ = ___________%. (Example: 56 ÷ 70 = 80%) Students must have an overall completion rate of 66.67% or more or financial aid is suspended. In the event you do not meet SAP you will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension and are no longer eligible for financial aid. The Office of Financial Aid will notify you of your status to your Linfield College email and by mailing a letter to your home address.
If you fail to achieve SAP requirements you are given the opportunity to appeal the suspension of your financial aid. The appeal letter must be in writing to the attention of the Office of Financial Aid with documentation of the extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances that may be considered include: personal illness or accident, serious illness or death within immediate family, or other circumstances beyond your immediate control. The appeal letter must include 1) the reason why you failed to make SAP, and 2) what has changed that will allow you to make SAP at the next evaluation. You are notified of the appeal decision to your Linfield College email account and to your home address, all decisions are final. An appeal that is approved allows you to receive one semester of financial aid on Financial Aid Probation status. After Financial Aid Probation, you must be making SAP or successfully following an academic plan.
If you have been placed on Financial Aid Suspension you can reestablish Financial Aid eligibility. If you do not submit an appeal or are denied an appeal you must, without the benefit of financial aid, successfully complete at least 6 credits in one semester with a semester GPA of 2.00 for reinstatement. You may then reapply by written appeal to request financial aid for the following semester. You may view the full Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy on our website at www.linfield.edu/dce/financial-aid.html.

When necessary, students with documented learning disabilities may petition the Academic Support Committee for substitution of courses required for graduation. This process is not automatic, nor is it always deemed appropriate. Students who intend to make such a request must notify both the Director of Learning Support Services and the Associate Registrar for DCE no later than the completion of 45 credits. Complete documentation including the diagnosis of the student's condition and its attendant educational implications must be filed with the Director of Learning Support Services prior to the request. Students with documented disabilities requiring classroom accommodation should register with Learning Support services within the first two weeks of each semester, or the fist two days of January Term.
The Adult Degree Program at Linfield College has joined the Western eTutoring Consortium to give our students access to online academic tutoring in math, writing, and other subject areas.

With mandated sales tax collection becoming more likely, online retailers should take a hard look now at their tax strategies. Want amnesty for back taxes? Proceed carefully.
With Congress increasingly likely to pass national online sales tax legislation, merchants may want to seek amnesty deals with states for uncollected back taxes. But to minimize what they may have to pay, it's best to see what kind of deal a state offers before registering to collect taxes, tax experts say.
In every Congress for the past dozen years, legislative proposals have sought to back a system that would allow states to mandate collection of sales tax by online retailers. But though these bills have never won enough support to become law, pending legislation in the current Congress appears to have a better chance of winning approval, tax experts Stephen Kranz, a partner with law firm Sutherland Asbill & Brennan, and Maureen Riehl, vice president, government affairs, Council on State Taxation, said at the Internet Retailer 2012 Conference & Exhibition in a session titled "The new urgency for developing a state sales tax strategy."
Thanks to support from retailers like Amazon.com Inc. and pressure among states to raise tax revenue without imposing new taxes, a federal law that would allow states to mandate sales tax collection by most online retailers is becoming more likely. As a result, retailers should figure out now how much sales tax collection will affect their profit margins, factoring in the cost of collecting the tax and the effect of displaying higher prices to customers.
Merchants should also consider whether they may already be in trouble in some states, such as by being liable for tax collection under what can be confusing rules regarding drop-shipping, Kranz said. "Don't hide," he warned. "You'd just be building up penalties and taxes."
One approach some merchants have followed is to seek an amnesty deal in states where they believe they're liable for uncollected back taxes. Under such agreements, a retailer will usually agree to begin collecting sales tax before a law makes it mandatory; in exchange, the merchant is typically relieved of having to pay the state for past uncollected tax and penalties.
But such merchants shouldn't rush to register to collect tax before completing an amnesty agreement, Kranz said. It's best to work out the best terms while the state is still hungry for a deal, he added.

PITTSBURG — As the Gorillas prepare for the start of the 2011 football season, Pittsburg State University Athletics also continues to point toward the start of the athletic year, including the home opener against Emporia State on Sept. 10.
Season ticket holders who have paid for their tickets prior to Aug. 1 will be able to pick up their tickets beginning Monday, Aug. 15. Tickets not paid for prior to Aug. 1 will become available in a timely fashion after the date payment is received.
Additionally, athletic director Jim Johnson announced today (July 27) that the school has amended its game day stadium and parking schedule.
The parking lots now will be accessible beginning at 6 a.m. on game day for patrons who wish to pay $5 to park in Gorilla Parking (i.e. Brown Lot) rather than the five-hour rule the school had originally planned.
"Based on feedback we received from our constituencies and continued discussions we have had as a staff and as an institution, we have adjusted the opening of parking lots to 6 a.m. for all five home games," Johnson said. "We think this will be a welcome change for our fans and it will alleviate potential bottle neck traffic which may have occurred under the previous plan."
Skyboxes also will be available for suite holders to access from 12 Noon to 7 p.m. on Fridays, the day before a home game.
The Gorillas football team reports to preseason camp Wednesday, Aug. 10. Pitt State will conduct its Autograph Day event on Saturday, Aug. 20, from 1 - 2:30 p.m. at Meadowbrook Mall where the team will hand out and autograph 2011 schedule posters.
The Gorillas open the 2011 campaign on Thursday, Sept. 1, at St. Joseph, Mo., against MIAA rival Missouri Western.

Box Score - Text Box - Game Sheet
POTSDAM, N.Y. -- The Providence College men's hockey team was dealt a 2-0 loss at seventh-ranked Clarkson Saturday night at Cheel Arena in Potsdam, N.Y. The Golden Knights scored twice in the first period and never looked back en route to the win.
Clarkson opened the scoring at 2:47 of the first period when Dan Tuttle slipped a pass to Shea Guthrie down the right wing boards. Guthrie raced by a Friar defenseman and came across the crease before lifting a back hander past Friar senior goalie Tyler Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.). PC's best chance to score in the first period came at 14:20 when freshman Kyle McKinnon (Walnut, Calif.) fired a wrist shot from the right face-off circle that glanced off the post. The Golden Knights scored a short-handed goal at 15:47 to increase their lead to 2-0. After a turnover in the Friar zone, Matt Beca slid a pass to Steve Zalewski who tapped the puck into the net for his first goal of the season.
The Friars controlled much of the second period, outshooting the Golden Knights, 8-5, but the Friars were not able to score. Senior captain Jon Rheault (Deering, N.H.) nearly cut the lead in half at 13:25 of the third period when he raced down the left wing boards before skating across the slot and firing a wrist shot that was saved by Clarkson's David Leggio.
Leggio finished with 28 saves to record his first shutout of the season. Sims stopped 18 shots for the Friars.
The Friars are back in action on Friday, October 19 when they travel to Boston, Mass. to take on Northeastern at 7:00 p.m.

It is our goal to provide better resources, support and development of all NWBA coaches. Over the next couple of seasons you will begin to notice additional resources concerning coaching development and certification. Beginning with the 2013-14 NWBA season all head coaches will be required to take and pass the 2013 NWBA rules exam. This is not the exam given to officials, but a 20-25 online open book question exam on the rules of the NWBA. In future seasons it is our goal to provide all coaches (head and assistant) the opportunity for coaching certifications. This will include age specific certifications in coaching and certifications focused on wheelchair basketball. Information on additional coaching certifications will be available closer to the 2014-15 season.
Taking this exam is mandatory for all head coaches, however anyone on your staff may take the exam. Click HERE for pdf copy of the Rule Book. Click HERE to take the exam. You will need to use access code coachexam13 to take the test. You will receive the graded exam after you submit your information. Each team will receive 1 hard copy rule book this year with their registration. Additional details on purchasing rule books will be available at a later date. All exams should be completed by November 22, 2013.
NWBA Junior Coaches Background Check
This season ALL coaches, team representatives, trainers and support staff members listed on a junior division roster MUST complete and pass a background check with the NWBA. This includes anyone that will sit on your bench during practices and games. The background checks must be completed through NCSI to be eligible to be on a junior roster as a coach or staff member. No adult will be allowed to sit on the bench during a game without passing a background check through the NWBA. The cost of the background checks will be $21.25 and will be good for 3 years with the NWBA. No other forms of background checks will be accepted. Click HERE for information on how to complete your background check. Background checks should be completed before a staff member sits on the team bench and before November 22, 2013. To view the NWBA Background Check Policy click HERE.

Junior Division Coaching Code of Ethics
The mission of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA) junior division is to encourage participation and the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of wheelchair basketball. The junior division executive committee has adopted the Coach's Code of Ethics as a set of principles to guide the coach's conduct in situations that have ethical implications.

Wheelchair basketball was born in 1946 in Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals in Birmingham (CAL) and Framingham (MA) where World War II veterans were being treated for various degrees of paralysis. Recognizing that they would by necessity use wheelchairs for the rest of their lives, they sought entertainment through numerous sports. Many started with ping-pong and pool, then progressed to bowling and swimming and quickly to wheelchair softball and basketball.
Within two years, six teams emerged, representing VA hospitals across the USA. National tournaments were organized and hosted by the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). Consequently, in 1948, the NWBA and the first official National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament (NWBT) were organized by NWBA Hall-of-Fame inductee Tim Nugent of the University of Illinois. That year, in a remarkable act of self-determination, the Birmingham (CAL) VA Flying Wheels took to the air and challenged teams throughout the USA. Wheelchair basketball soon became the number-one sport for individuals with disabilities.
Wheelchair basketball for women began to surface in the mid-1960s. In1968. a US team competed alongside US men in the Paralympic Games in Tel Aviv, Israel. Since only a men's division existed at that time, the few women who played in the US competed on teams consisting of men only. By 1970, one team had been formed, the University of Illinois Ms. Kids. During the 1973-1974 season, the Ms. Kids played the Southern Illinois University Squidettes in the Men's Old Gym on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana. This was the first recorded wheelchair basketball game between two organized women's teams in the US, and coincidentally, the first women's wheelchair basketball game between two collegiate women's teams. A proposal to create a Women's Division was submitted to and approved by NWBA delegates in 1977 by University of Illinois' graduate student and future Hall-of-Famer Bob Szyman. By 1978 six teams competed in the national tournament, hosted by the University of Illinois. At present, 5 teams compete in the traditional Women's Division, 5 in the Intercollegiate Women's Division.
Since 1991, the NWBA has attained considerable recognition in the public domain. It became an associate member of the US Congress. It is now an active member of USA Basketball. Its former Commissioner, Stan Labanowich, yet another University of Illinois graduate and NWBA Hall of Famer, was appointed to USA Basketball's Board of Directors.
Wheelchair basketball has come a long way since its origins in the US in the mid-1940s. The NWBA has since grown to 192 teams. We are also proud to say that the pioneering National Wheelchair Basketball Association has given birth to hundreds of teams from North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, And we don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. The next stop for the NWBA - the Olympics.

Congressman Todd Akin's decision to stay in the Missouri Senate race will have a big impact on the November elections outside that state. And that's the topic of this week's Commentary by Eyewitness News Political Analyst and Gambit columnist Clancy DuBos.
Clancy DuBos / Eyewitness News Political Analyst
Todd Akin has made it official: He's sorry for his ill-advised remark about "legitimate rape," but he's not getting out of the Senate race in Missouri.
Akin now becomes the GOP's elephant in the room, if you'll pardon the political pun.
Just about everybody else in the GOP — from Mitt Romney to the head of the Republican National Committee — want Akin to just go away. He is at best a painful, and potentially costly, distraction; at worst, a reminder to millions of women voters of why the Republican Party historically has a "gender gap."
Romney was right to ask Akin to get lost. Akin hurts his party, and Romney, by staying in the race. But, he has the right to run, even if his candidacy sends all the wrong messages.
Going forward, Romney and other Republicans will have to continue to distance themselves from Akin. That's not fair to them, but that's politics.
Closer to home, isn't it odd that Louisiana's Republican leaders — especially Governor Bobby Jindal and Senator David Vitter — have been so silent about Akin's comment even after Mitt Romney condemned it?
Sometimes, silence speaks volumes.

At the Broadway Lighting Master Classes on Tuesday, May 24, lighting designers Beverly Emmons and Clifton Taylor will talk about their use of color in the theater. Taking on a subject that often lives in the realm of intuition and the sub-conscious, the two designers discuss ways to talk about color with your collaborators and to discover solutions to practical color problems that often arise at the design table. Here Clifton Taylor waxes eloquent on the subject of color:
"First for me, is remembering that color is a tool. It is a really important tool but we should always remember that like all our tools, color is in the service of our bigger goal, which is storytelling. So, what is storytelling for a lighting designer? It's probably not the same story that the set designer or costume designer or the performers are telling but it is of course related. For instance, perhaps the lighting needs to tell us that that there is a storm going on. That's a story and it can be told in a million ways in light. Color is an important aspect of that story and it has to be chosen in relation to the set, the costumes and the action of the play.
So, how do we choose colors to best tell our story? I like to look at a lot of sources. Palettes can come from so many places, and it is our job as designers to sort through these possible sources and find a coherent solution in order to fulfill our story telling goals. In this case, I might begin my work by looking at the work of JMW Turner, the English landscape painter, in order to study the colors that he used in his palettes, which so beautifully depicted stormy atmospheres and light. I might ask myself how 'real' does the scene need to be? Is it a storm in a musical, a realistic drama, a comedy?
Answering this question of style often leads me to solutions about saturation choices. Because saturation can be thought of as a separate aspect of color, we can manipulate a given palette either up or down on the saturation scale to communicate information about style to an audience. After having some thought about palette and saturation, I feel I'm ready to talk with my collaborators. What are the local colors of the scenery and the costumes? Will the lighting palette choices help the other designers tell their stories? Are there changes that I need to make to better work with their color choices? In the best productions, great relationships between the scenery, lighting and costumes will lead to a unique and beautiful solution to each designer's storytelling challenge.
After coming up with a palette idea, the next step for me is figuring out how to arrange this palette into a lighting plot. Deciding how to deploy our ideas about color is often what can separate a great design from a disaster. R95 (a deep blue green) might be a part of our rainy day story, but it might not be the best choice for the acting area key light. Perhaps it could be used to color in the shadows or as part of the background. If it's a shadow color, perhaps it should be shifted to a more recessive version of deep blue green to better help it hide underneath other colors. If it's falling onto a sky that is painted in blues and greens, perhaps it should be de-saturated so that the painting can be better seen.
I go through each color in each system in this way during the process of coming up with a design. A great design for me embodies choices that uniquely make sense as a part of all these interlocking stories."
Clifton Taylor, April 2011

Handle This: You Hate Your Engagement Ring
by DearSugar 54 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Although you knew you and your boyfriend would be getting married in the near future, recently he surprised you with a proposal. You were thrilled, but the ring leaves something to be desired. It's not your style and not very pretty. You were going to ask him if you could return it, but then he told you it was a family heirloom — his grandmother's ring! Your friends say it would be too horrible to say something, but you really don't like it! How would you handle this?
5 years
Uhhh....that's me right now as we speak. I couldn't take it anymore. I specifically said I would LOVE a princess cut and I got a round diamond. I despise round because of the shape of my hands and it makes my hands look masculine. Ugh...he just said to me "Doesn't it matter that I liked it? Then he said it was the best quality diamond in the store." Something's up with that because last I knew you could have a jeweler order the diamond you want. I can't stand it and I don't wear it 75% of the time. I didn't want to hurt his feelings but I really don't like it. It's round and squatty on this skinny irritating band. What If he wanted a simple band and I bought him two toned encrusted with diamonds because it was high quality would he be happy wearing it???? You want a Mercedes and I bought you a mustang....do you love it cuz I love it? Geez.....this sucks.

You gotta say what's on ur mind. Holding things in and playing games is not good. When my fiance (now husband) gave me his mom's old ring, I secretly hated it but didn't say a word. It was old and scratched and honestly sort of embarassing. I was miserable and couldn't stop staring at other rings. Finally I spoke up (nicely) and he got me a new one. I felt like a harpie, but I'm glad I have a new one. It's like getting a tattoo, u know? You should like this thing if it's gonna be on your finger everyday for ur entire life.
Pyxi 5 years
If the relationship is so fragile and patriarchal that you actually rely on him to choose the ring (most men have NO idea about rings) and you haven't discussed getting engaged in advanced like emotionally mature couples do, then you shouldn't be getting engaged yet. Quite frankly, I don't think a proposal to get married should be a suprise. If it is, you have no business starting out a shared life together. The decision to marry should be discussed in depth, together, for ages before you decide you want to marry him anyway. If you haven't discussed marriage, you have no business getting engaged, because THAT's what getting engaged means - "We're getting married soon." You need to agree on LOTS of things before you decide he is worthy of a lifetime of your beautiful 100% love. One of these agreements is THE RING you will wear to symbolise your commitment to him. No man should be left to his own devices when it comes to choosing the ring. Who wants someone else's ring anyway? Who are you getting engaged to, his Gran (her ring)? NO. Who wants someone elses history on their finger? Even if it is a masisve rock, at least have it re-set in a design you like. If money is an issue, you can both decide on a solid gold ring with a zircon or cultured diamond instead of a diamond, with the aim to put a fabulous diamond in later or just get a better ring in 5 years time, at least it'll be a setting you really like and it'll look great without the debt. By the time you decide to get engaged, you should know each other so well that you KNOW he wouldn't do anything so stupid or inconsiderate as to choose you ring for you. You should both have had the fun of window shopping rings so you can show him the designs you like. The way to do this, over time, is to declare "Cool, shiny things!" and skip over to the shop window. He won't come the first couple of times, but if you babble on about a setting you really like, he'll eventually want to see it and obviously you should have more that one you like, so you can include his choices and selections. After a couple of times, he will be stressing about price and you can whisper to him whilst looking at diamonds that the two of you can look at non-diamonds and he can buy a nice diamond in a few years time. That's when you show him the non-diamond ring you've set your heart on ages ago and pronounce quietly that THAT'S the one you want "when we get engaged". His relief will be palpable. The right man for you will want to please you, they are really sweet that way. But if you don't tell him what you like, how the heck can he know what you like? They don't think like we do. So you HAVE to let him to know that you want your own ring design choice, and if he is stupid or arrogant enough to present a ring you don't like, when you've worked SO hard to tell him what you like and what you'll accept, DON'T marry him yet. You MUST consider if he really cares about you and what you think, because he won't change. IF he still still gives you THAT ugly ring, you should know each other well enough for you to tell him where to put that ring. What you want in a legal partnership that will create wealth and a fabulously happy family when the rugrats arrive in the future, is a willingness to compromise, research and each GIVE 150% of yourselves to each other and the marriage. The RING is the start of all that, and YOU have to wear it, so you may as well take the time to tell him what design you like. THEN, when you get what you want, show him the ring on your hand with delight a million times a day until he just looks at you indulgently (instead of just pleased with himself). That's when he starts thinking about the next shiny thing you may like..... and your job is to say NO. No more shiny things except on really special occassions, because YOU don't want to waste his hard-earned money on meaningless shiny things. It is now YOUR job to find out what he really, really wants and make that come true. Because in order for him to make your dreams of marriage, home and family, HE has to give up his dream of sleeping with as many beautiful women as he can. This is when you start to earn that diamond/future diamond ring!!! Incidentally, a diamond engagement ring should cost 3 months salary, so have a look at diamond rings in that price range. Then, if money is short, choose a zircon ring that looks like it is a real 3 month salary diamond ring and this is when you agree together that you WON'T TELL ANYONE what it really is.

My fiance and I were out one evening and we knew we were getting engaged soon, so I asked if we could stop and look at some rings. He agreed. I picked one out that was my absolute dream ring and I could see his heart kind of sank, but I didn't know why...as soon as we got home, he shuffled around in the closet and produced an engagement ring (!) that he had bought a month earlier and had wanted to keep hidden until my birthday. He was so disappointed that the ring I picked out that evening looked nothing like the ring he had bought for me and was afraid I wouldn't like it. Honestly, I wasn't thrilled about his ring, but I think it was just because I was so hung up on the one at the jeweler's that I hadn't considered liking anything different. He offered to exchange it, and I really considered it for a few days...but when I put that ring on my finger, I fell in love with it. It grew on me. It's more of a sentimental thing...thinking about him out there shopping for a ring, wanting to make me happy, wanting to marry me...how sweet!

If the ring does bother you that much, and you can't be honest with him about it without fear of him getting so upset that he can't work through it. Then why did you say yes? There are going to be much more important things down the road than a ring that will have to be worked through together and you can't tell him the truth about how you feel about a ring. Maybe talk about a compromise, same stone different setting, or even a separate ring and keep that one to pass along to a child. There are many many ways of going about this, but lying about loving it is not one of them unless you're prepared to be happy about the thought he put into it and the thought his family invested in it.

i guess it would depend on the type of person you are.....if you are know to just spout out your opinion no matter what, and your boyfriend knows that...what would be stopping you anyways.... but if you complain about the ring to much, you might make the man think he's not right for you when he really is.....sometimes its just best to just grin and bear it. its not all about the ring....alot of people forget that...sure its great to show your family and friends, its about the man who gave it to you and its about the BOTH of you if it would bother a person that bad, when you got married, just wear a wedding band a put the engagment ring away. :shrug:

Me and my boyfriend discussed engagement the other night and he said he believes the ring should be 3x monthly wage (as is traditional?) and I was like "THATS FREAKING INSANE" and he said "yes, but it's supposed to be a show of how much the other person is worth to you". I didn't have anything to say to this at the time (apart from THATS INSANE) because I was drunk but then I got to pondering. How do you show somebody what they are worth? I thought well you can't really do it through a material item can you? I don't place much value on material items. He criticises me for eating jam and stuff across my MacBook but it's only a freaking computer. I could go buy another one tomorrow if it busted or get it fixed or whatever. I'll only use it for a couple of years so who cares? It's functional and that's where it ends! Then I figured that I would tell him the next time we had an "engagement" discussion that I maintain that so much emphasis being placed on the cost of the ring is INSANE and that you show somebody what they are worth to you through your actions, not through material possessions. His monthly income is like £1600 so £1600x3 = The wedding paid for?! If he picked me out a ring (an expensive one, as detailed in my little blahblahblah) and I hated it or he gave me a family heirloom that was UGLY then I would tell him. I would look at it and maybe try it on for size for a week or two but if I really wasn't feeling it then I would just tell him. I have a problem in that I do not typically wear jewellery so I have no idea what kind of ring he would buy me anyway. I would feel honoured to have anything he chose on my finger... a family heirloom less so. Blahblahblah~

I don't even want a diamond ring. I hate the diamond industry and what it represents. How they have managed to convince people that diamonds are so necessary and must be given for an engagement is ridiculous (and an amazing feat). If it was a family heirloom I would accept the ring. I don't care if it isn't my style. I have more important things to worry about.

I like these questions from DearSugar becuase it makes me think "what if" and so in the future if something like this happens, I'll have thought it through already, heard other opinions and will be able to react in a reasonable way instead of reacting purely by emotion." Agreed. Since I have now had the time to read this topic and think about it: This wouldn't happen to me, because I would discuss the topic with my bf/future husband ahead of time and tell him that I don't want any kind of heirloom ring, I want it to be about us, not his family...I'm not marrying his family. You know, sometimes I think it would be a good idea to give every dearsugar post I've ever written to my bf, then he would know exactly what I think about everything! lol! :) No problems.

I agree with javsmav. I think diamond engagement rings are unnecessary. I even told my boyfriend that I would prefer something colorful! Diamonds aren't even worth what they cost--they aren't as rare as DeBeers wants us to think! I would much rather we spend that money on a house than on a teeny-tiny stone.

As to the value...I'm going to consider his car. If he'll pay $40K for his car that probably won't last 20 years. Don't expect me to wear a ring less than that for the rest of my life... which may be for me another 64 years!!! Otherwise, get me a cheaper ring and drive a $20K car. LOL

wait hold up...family heirloom, grandma's ring! I read it too fast the first time...keep the ring. Wear it. My aunt has a ring made from her husbands mother's jewels from her blouse (I think that's right or dress maybe) and it is original and special. (they were members of the royal family in Burma in the early 1900's and that's their legacy so no way should you be shallow when it comes to legacy) Like babysoftpink said...I'd wear it for awhile, then wear it on special occasions on my right ring finger.

take the ring, accept his proposal, get married. Once all the dusts have settled, I would put this ring that has so much sentimental meanings in the safety deposit box, then use extra cash left from the wedding and buy yourself a nice ring together with husband. :)

I would probably be honest. I know that my boyfriend would want to know his money went to something that i loved and would want to wear. Not to say that i wouldnt want to wear something I didn't like and it's not about being selfish I just think in the long run your boyfriend would want to know that you absolutely love your ring and the money has not been wasted on something you don't like.

well i think that there's something to be said about getting something that's been in the family for ages, but i think that maybe it's something to think about that maybe on an anniversary you can upgrade. my fiance knows that i LOVE my ring but that if we had more money i would like to get it reset with a pave set (i think that's how you spell it) where there are diamonds around the big stone. that's something that we've talked about doing in like 5-10 years...so maybe that's something that you can talk about doing in the future as well.

To those who said "wrong ring, wrong guy" I am seriously having trouble understanding that. I mean, if he was a wrong guy before he so selfishly gave you something that belonged to his family instead of going into debt getting some ridiculous looking ring, that you'll probably never wear because once it effs up your favorite sweater from pulling it...shouldn't you have already dumped him? I mean, I'd be stoked on life if my guy proposed and gave me a ring pop...flavor/color would not matter.

My engagement ring isn't my style at all. It's yellow gold, which I've always disliked and it's very old fashioned looking, but I absolutely love it. Every time I look at it I think of the night my husband proposed, and our entire life together. Oh, and the fact that his mom offered up her great grandmother's ring made me feel so great. I'm the fifth generation to wear it!
candace87 5 years
I don't understand how an engagement ring can be ugly. Engagement rings generally arent huge and gaudy like old people jewellery. But if I were in this situation, since it's an heirloom, I'd just accept it. If he bought something that was just absoloutly not my style, I'd be honest.

wow "wrong ring, wrong guy" thats incredibly shallow. Has no one ever seen the count of monte cristo when he gives a peice of thread off her dress? And she never takes it off? That is so romantic. I wouldnt care what the ring looked like, as long as I knew I was truely in love with the person, and that he felt the same about me...that would be enough for me.

You know, I didn't think I'd like a diamond solitaire until I got one for an engagement ring. Now I think my ring is absolutely perfect for me, and wouldn't trade it for any other ring on earth. Maybe it's the sentiment of this being MY engagement ring that HE gave me, but there's no possible way I think anyone could absolutely hate the design of their ring forever. It grows on you.

I would pretend to like it...then pout little by little that it hurts my finger or something until he suggests a trade in. Hopefully that would work, otherwise I'd be stuck with it.

Normally, I would agree with the person who said "wrong ring, wrong guy". In this situation though, he is honoring a family tradition. I think comfronting the issue would really hurt him and could potentially cause major drama in the family. Even if you suggested buying another ring and keeping the heirloom in a safe place, dont you think his family would wonder where it was! I like the idea about finding a new setting or maybe it doesnt fit well, than you can make a necklace out of it or something and buy a nice band. I dont know sticky situation.

"GlowingMoon ....I think your husband deserves and A+ for the ring!" Thank you, and yes, he does. We've been married for several years. To this day, I still swoon when I look at my ring. My husband is very kind and generous. Your friend's ring sounds pretty -- a real classic piece.
glampop20 5 years
I would be open and honest. Perhaps telling him that although the ring is beautiful in its own right, it is just simply not your taste. Maybe a good option is to pick out a ring that you love with him and then save the heirloom for your first born son to give to his wife when they get engaged? It may not be your style, but it could be someone else's. That is of course looking far down the line but if children are in your future it might not be a bad idea. That way, the heirloom is sure to stick around for a long time!

I would like to think that if this were to happen to me I would be so happy that his family liked me enough to be ok with me getting a family heirloom ring that it wouldnt matter what it looked like. That being said- due to faulty manufacturing, I got a "do-over" with my rings- I went from a really trendy set with all the pave side stones (which we picked out together) to a simple 4 prong solitaire and bands on either side with channel set diamonds and sapphires- which I just love and am still staring at all the time over a year later :)

GlowingMoon ....I think your husband deserves and A+ for the ring! My friend just got engaged and she gave her finance in Jan...a list of what she looking for in a ring..cut, clarity, carat (minimums) and clipped a picture of what she would want...lol he ended up proposing while on holiday in Peru in Sept with a gorgous 1.2 Carat solitare set in a Tiffany setting (but not from Tiffany) on white gold...Gorgeous :)

Knowing me, I would probably accept the ring. Because of the sentiment behind it, I would grow to like it. However, thankfully, I was not put in that position. Miraculously, my husband got me my dream ring. Truthfully, I never thought I would own that ring in my lifetime. I guess it was more of fantasy ring than a dream ring. It's from a classic high-end designer, and it's a limited piece. When he presented me with that ring (in my desired carat weight), I almost fell off my seat. LOL
vouninou 5 years
I think faking losing it is horrible ... I think I would try to convince him to see if the ring can be redesigned to better suit my taste. I think that involving him in the process (choosing together the designer, how to redesign it ...) and taking this seriously should show him that you care about the history of the ring and not just "I don't like it and I want another one".
sundaygreen 5 years
I would wear it. Honeslty, most vintage rings are beautiful so I doubt you'd end up with an ugly ass one. I'd take vintage over most of the shit on the market these days. Plus, if he went to the effort of getting his grandmother's ring, that would mean more to me than something store bought. Besides, tastes change and the sentiment behind the ring will be more important in the decades to come.
CYL 5 years
OUCH a little harsh Ginger Snaps...just because the guy gets you a ring you don't like its the wrong guy? I think I would still wear it. I think its the meaning behind the fact that he cared about me enough to give me a family heirloom would make me feel so special. Its pretty romantic I think.

Tell him you are incredibly moved that he would give you something so sentimental, but the ring is not your style and you want to make sure that the ring that represents your love and marriage is a reflection of YOU, not his grandmother.

Try it out - you may find you like it after all. If not, maybe explain that the diamond is too high and catches on your clothes or hair, and ask for it to be adjusted. DO NOT FAKE LOSE IT - chances are his brother's/cousin's/whoever's fiancee would treasure such a special piece of family history and your fiance should pass it on to them. I remember reading a book where the bride was pissed about her engagement ring since it was a square-cut emerald and not her style, plus her fiancee proposed in a movie theater. Well, the ring was an heirloom that had been held onto and passed down for generations, and the first place they had ever kissed was the theater. I think sometimes women get over-expectant about weddings and engagements - it's just as sentimental for most men, and a lot of them are trying their hardest to make it special too.
julieulie 5 years
I think it's worse to pretend to like it for 50 years of marriage than to be honest. It's like starting off your marriage with a lie. I'd just be honest -- of course I want to marry you, but the ring isn't my style -- since the sentiment is there for the diamond, can we keep the stone, and have it reset with something more my taste? I don't see anything at all wrong with that -- it's like the best of both worlds. Using something of value from the past, but updating it to something I would actually like. I don't think expressing your opinion makes you shallow... yes, if you value the ring more than the marriage, that might be one thing, but you are going to have to look at the ring every day. Now, if your husband were to say that he designed the ring specifically for you and he designed it because of some certain meaning, and then you said you hated it... yes, that would be bad to open your mouth and say you didn't like it. But maybe your husband doesn't even like the heirloom ring, and was using it because he had it, and would be happy to reset it in a style you like!

It's weird, a friend of mine had that happen- she was waiting for the proposal, really excited and then she saw the ring and HATED it. Heirloom and all- it was absolutely NOT her style. It was a bit of an omen, because the weren't right for each other either and went through 3 bad years of marriage before splitting badly. I say- be honest." I love the sentiment, I love you, I love your family, I don't love the ring". If he's the right one, he'll understand and agree that it's okay to only wear it on family occasions, symbolically. BUT, don't expect another ring. That'd just be rude.

Who cares? The engagement ring my husband bought me is ugly but I still wear it with my wedding ring every day. He worked hard for the money to buy it, picked it out himself, and got down on one knee with it (and even in the case of it being an heirloom, it's part of his family which he obviously cares for and I'm going to be marrying into). It's ugly and pointy but I love it and would never trade it in for anything else!

More Book Seven Death PredictionsNews
In the wake of JKR's recent interview on the "Richard & Judy" talk show, the media continues to write stories about Book Seven, and the possible deaths contained in the last book. The newest entry covering this topic comes now from Entertainment Weekly, where they have an article featuring the breakdown of their odds on who will not survive the end of the book.
WEASLEY KIDS: Offing Harry's best mate Ron would be dramatic. But more likely to meet her maker is his sister Ginny, whom Voldemort tried to murder in book 2. RON ODDS: 20-1; GINNY ODDS: 6-1
HAGRID: The gentle half-giant is Harry's last adult ally. Sadly, this spells doom. ODDS: 3-2
HERMIONE: Rowling has said she sees herself in the brainy gal. Killing the strongest young female would send a wicked message, indeed. ODDS: 50-1
SNAPE: Harry is convinced he's on Voldy's side, but Dumbledore defended him until the end. Expect the prickly professor to die a martyr fighting the Dark Lord: ODDS: 2-1
HARRY: Voldy won't quit until The Boy Who Lived is no more, so their ultimate face-off will be apocalyptic. But ending the series with the death of the hero? Beyond shocking. ODDS: 9-2
VOLDEMORT: Goodbye, Mr. Big Bad. ODDS: Even
In a related note, CNN has this article that speculates on the longtime fan-discussed 7/07/07 release date, and the positive impact that would have on the stocks and outlook of Scholastic as they face the prospect of life beyond Harry Potter.
"Drew Crum, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus who follows Scholastic, said that once an official publication date is announced, that should be good news for the stock, even though this will mark the end of an amazing run of huge book sales for Scholastic.
Overall, there are more than 120 million Potter books in print in the U.S., according to Scholastic. (The series has also generated four hit movies for Warner Bros., the studio owned by Time Warner (Charts), which is also the parent company of CNNMoney.com. A film based on the fifth Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will be released next summer.)
"In the past, Potter has provided a catalyst to the stock ahead of the publication date," he said. "Yes, bears would say, 'Why pay up for non-recurring revenue?' But we don't think the stock is going to flat-line. There will be a lot of euphoria and speculation."

Quick Caramel Apple Dip Recipe
This four-ingredient caramel dip is so simple and yummy. People always want to know how long I slaved over the stove to prepare it and are amazed to find that I made it in the microwave. When large marshmallows aren't on hand, I substitute 2 cups of mini marshmallows instead. –Becky Heiner, West Valley City, Utah
- 1 package (14 ounces) caramels
- 20 large marshmallows
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- Apple slices
- Place caramels in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 minute. Add marshmallows; microwave for 1 minute or until marshmallows are melted, stirring occasionally. Whisk in butter and cream until combined. Serve with apple slices. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2-1/2 cups.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested in a 1,100-watt microwave.
