There's a good chance anyone in the Twin Cities who skis or snowboards learned how to do it at Afton Alps.
Now, the Augustine family of Hastings is agreeing to let go of a few hundred acres of land they thought they might be able to turn into a ski hill back in 1963.
"They picked this location in the St. Croix Valley because it was a valley with a north facing slope," said co-owner Amy Reents. "They just had a dream that they wanted to build a ski hill here."
But it's a new era in the ski business, and while Reents says it's bittersweet, selling to Colorado-based Vail Resorts is the right thing to do.
"After working with them originally, we said 'oh we can't do this, we can't do this,' and then after talking to them and getting a feel for their culture, and their passion for the ski industry and their guest service – and all that they have to offer – we finally realized this is something we just can't deny our customers and our employees," Reents said.
She added that when Vail Resorts said she and her family could stay a part of the business, they decided selling Afton Alps was the right thing to do at the time.
Vail Resorts is paying $20 million in cash for both Afton Alps and a ski hill in Detroit.
Vail plans to improve Afton's snow making capabilities, food options and plans to offers discounts at Vail's seven resorts out west for Afton season pass holders.
The family is hoping these new exciting changes will not diminish the hometown, comfortable feel they've worked so hard to cultivate.
"There's a little bit of apprehension about that, but I guess we'll have to wait and see," an Afton skier said Friday night. "If it was the best decision for the family to make at this point in time, then good for them."

The FBI is looking for two bandits in two separate bank robberies in the valley.
The "Why So Serious Bandit" allegedly robbed a US Bank at 630 E. Bell Road in Phoenix on March 12. He entered the bank, proceeded to the counter, pushed an elderly woman to the side, and demanded money from the teller.
The teller complied and he fled the bank north into the neighborhood.
Police established a perimeter and conducted a K-9 search, but the suspect was not located. He is described as a white male, 5'11", mid-20s with a slender build, and wearing a black ski mask, black plastic sunglasses, a white long sleeve shirt, black gloves, gray sweatpants and tennis shoes. The FBI believes that the Why So Serious Bandit struck on Feb. 1.
On March 15, a different suspect robbed the Bank of America at 16431 N. Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale. He entered the bank carrying a newspaper and a cup of coffee. The suspect approached the teller and presented a note demanding money. The teller complied. He fled the bank northbound.
The suspect is described as a white male, 5'7", 25 to 30 years old, 130 to 150 lbs., facial hair on chin, tattoo on the back of his neck, wearing a black baseball hat with gray stripes, an earring in his right ear, black shirt and black pants and white tennis shoes.
In both cases, a weapon was not shown.

For the first time since Hurricane Sandy last fall, PATH service will be 24/7, according to an announcement from the Port Authority on Wednesday morning.
As of Wednesday night, PATH trains will again be running between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The round the clock service has been restored on the Hoboken to 33rd Street line, Newark to World Trade Center Line and the Journal Square to 33rd Street line.
Service between Hoboken and the World Trade Center remains suspended for now and could take at least another month.
"Currently, the Port Authority is awaiting delivery of key switch and signal parts from a third-party manufacturer," the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey stated in its press release on Wednesday.
The Hoboken PATH station sustained heavy damage during Hurricane Sandy and equipment of multiple decades old was completely destroyed.
"The agency expects delivery of the parts in late February," according to the announcement, "crews will then install the parts and conduct extensive safety tests before PATH can resume service between Hoboken and World Trade Center."
PATH service was restored in Hoboken in mid-December. Since the storm, trains have been running between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. every day.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
The Chateau Marmont has an old-world charm, Michael Connelly writes, and a decided disinterest in guests' personal affairs: "Behind its walls and hedges was a world without intrusion, where those who didn't want to be watched were not. That is, until things went wrong." In The Drop, the latest Harry Bosch saga from Connelly, things have gone very wrong at the Sunset Strip hotel, where a city councilman's son has jumped or been pushed to his death. Connelly knows the Chateau well—in particular room 79, the setting for the lethal fall. Recently it was the writer's home base while he was adapting his book (then film) The Lincoln Lawyer for TV. Bosch, the detective who alternates with attorney Mickey Haller in Connelly's literary productions, has long been a Raymond Chandler for the modern Angeleno. In The Drop readers also learn of Bosch's impending retirement and watch him spend time with daughter Maddie, who, at 15, is roughly the same age as Connelly's own child. "Of course, I don't take her to the shooting range," Connelly says of the pastime shared by Bosch father and daughter. Indeed, Maddie's thinking of becoming a cop. Sounds like the start of a beautiful sequel.

The final hours of the 2013 regular legislative session may have kept a stop-and-start pace, but 125 bills were passed in the final day flurry.
The 60-day session adjourned at midnight April 13 with a total of 215 of the 1,829 bills passing the full Legislature.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin was keeping track of his 32 proposals, many of which passed without much debate.
Tomblin said he was not disappointed with anything from the session, and was confident the work on the budget next week would proceed smoothly because of careful groundwork already laid.
"There's a couple of little things I'd have liked to have seen, maybe some percentages in our Rainy Day Fund to free up some money for Medicaid programs and so forth, but overall, the major pieces have been passed, and I'm very pleased with that," Tomblin said. "I really do appreciate the cooperation we've had from the House and Senate; they've been great to work with this session, and I commend them for wanting to do what's right for West Virginia."
Tomblin's sweeping education reform passed early in the session after much debate with all the stakeholders. He already signed it into law.
His second major reform measure, dealing with prison overcrowding, passed in the afternoon of the final day.
Another of Tomblin's measures, which would increase the civil penalties on pipeline safety violations passed late in the session, and a bill targeting drugged drivers passed in the session's final hours.
But a bill to allow Monongalia County to create a Tax Increment Finance project did not make it out of the House of Delegates. Its lead sponsor, Sen. Bob Beach, D-Monongalia, said he plans to approach Tomblin soon to request a special session to deal with the issue.
"Tonight a big game of chicken was played, and
the residents of West Virginia lost, plain and simple," Beach said in the final moments of the session. "North-Central West
Virginia lost out on 2,000 jobs and infrastructure development, and it's a shame."
Senate President Jeff Kessler said the TIF bill failed as well as a bill that would have lowered the table game license fee for the state's four casinos, including Wheeling Island Casino in his district, which is struggling. But Kessler said he's proud of both the education reform bill and the prison overcrowding bill.
Other bills that passed during the session include: making the failure to wear a seat belt a primary traffic offense; allowing the sale of wine at certain fairs and festivals on Sundays; requiring teens ages 14 to 16 to get a parent or guardian's consent before using a tanning bed; the creation of a juvenile offense for sexting, or sending sexually explicit text messages; and a requirement for counties to provide bulletproof vests for deputy sheriffs.
An expansion of the state's home rule project passed the Legislature near the end of the session, but it took several back-and-forth meetings to find that compromise some senators called "home rule lite."
"I can't say I disagree with some of the comments with some of the aspects of home rule," Kessler said. "It got mutated into a gun bill."
Other measures that died during the session include: housing and employment non-discrimination; the creation of a casino in Pendleton County; and drug testing for welfare recipients.
House Minority Leader Tim Armstead said his party's biggest disappointment in the session was a lack of jobs bills, something the Republicans said they would push for from day one.
"We needed to do more to stimulate our economy, and we had a lot of good ideas, particularly our Republican members worked very hard to get those things moving," Armstead said just after the session had ended. "We have a lot of work to do in terms of economic development and job growth in our state, and we really need to center on that."
The Legislature will meet April 15 for work on its budget bill.

Dreams are among our most personal experiences. They take place in such a deeply recessed part of our brains that we can barely remember them ourselves, let alone explain them to others.
But a new study out of Japan may portend a future in which dreaming is more transparent. The study, which was reported in Science Express on April 4, used fMRI technology to analyze brain activity and predict with surprising accuracy the types of visual images that three research subjects experienced during their dreams.

Money May vs. Guerrero!
What are your unofficial predcitions?
I think Guerrero will try to make it as rough and ugly as possible, but he will eventually fall behind - as everyone - and allow Floyd to capitalize on his mistakes. I don't think The Ghost will break down though. He seems to be very strong-willed so I expect him to fight for the whole 3 minutes of every round. Floyd might get hit early on before he adjusts as he did in the Judah fight. I don't see a KO though. Floyd ain't gonna leave his throne just yet.
I expect Floyd to be defensively minded and picking his shots while frustrating Guerrero with defense on the ropes as I think Robert will try to bully him there.
All in all...I feel the same way as I always do when Floyd announces his opponent - unsure. Hell, I was worried that JMM will get him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Not gonna happen though...

A missing Buffalo Grove, Ill. woman is back home safely after being found in St. Joseph County Tuesday morning.
Dispatchers say police found the woman, who they estimate to be in her late 60s, near the corner of 3rd Street and Beech Road in Osceola. They "pinged" her cell phone to find her.
The woman was taken to the hospital, but was not hurt. Her family picked her up and took her back home.
Buffalo Grove is just north of Chicago. There is no word on how long the woman was missing or what led her to end up in Osceola.

Emergency Medical Services
Banner Churchill's Emergency Medical Services covers more than 5,900 square miles, making us one of only two hospital-operated paramedic/EMT/EMS providers in northern Nevada.
In 2012, Banner Churchill added a fifth ambulance to our fleet. The new ambulance is equipped with an array of state-of-the-art equipment including the ZOLL AutoPulse, a revolutionary mechanical CPR machine that provides hands-free chest compressions to patients.
Also included in the new ambulance are :
- critical care dual monitors
- water rescue equipment
- extrication equipment for car accidents
- a built-in car seat
- and the most unique feature – the Power-LOAD cot fastener system, a hydraulic lift system which automatically lifts and lowers the patient in and out of the ambulance.
This new system is safer for both the patient and health care worker, providing better support for the patient and reducing the risk of back injury to the health care worker. According to Steve Tafoya, ambulance service senior manager at Banner Churchill, this is one of the few ambulances of its kind in the region to be outfitted with this piece of technology.
Certified for transporting patients with blood and blood products
The Nevada State Health Division Office of Emergency Medical Systems has approved Banner Churchill Community Hospital's Emergency Medical Services to transport patients with blood and blood products being administered while performing an interfacility transfer.
We are the first EMS agency in the State of Nevada to have this approved as part of our protocols.
Equipment that provides safety for the patient and the staff
Our new Bariatric Patient System allows our Emergency Medical Service crews to safely lift patients weighing more than 350 pounds into an ambulance.

Ponte Santa Trinita (Holy Trinity Bri...

Ponte Santa Trinita (Holy Trinity Bridge) at Dawn
The World > Europe > Italy > Tuscany > Florence
The Ponte Santa Trìnita (Italian for Holy Trinity Bridge, named for the ancient church in the nearest stretch of via de' Tornabuoni) is a Renaissance bridge in Florence, Italy, spanning the Arno. The Ponte Santa Trìnita is the oldest elliptic arch bridge in the world, the three flattened ellipses giving the structure its celebrated elegant appearance. The outside spans each measure 29 m (95 ft) with the centre span being 32 m (105 ft) in length.[1] The two neighbouring bridges are the Ponte Vecchio, to the east, and the Ponte alla Carraia to the west.
The bridge was constructed by the Florentine architect Bartolomeo Ammanati from 1567 to 1569. Its site, downstream of the equally remarkable Ponte Vecchio,[2] is a major link in the mediæval street plan of Florence, which has been bridged at this site since the thirteenth century.[3] The wooden bridge of 1252 was swept away in a flood seven years later and was rebuilt in stone and destroyed in a flood in 1333. The bridge of five arches constructed by Taddeo Gaddi was destroyed in the flood of 1557, which occasioned Ammanati's replacement. Four ornamental statues of the Seasons were added to the bridge in 1608, as part of the wedding celebrations of Cosimo II de' Medici with Maria Magdalena of Austria: Spring by Pietro Francavilla, Summer and Autumn by Giovanni Caccini, and Winter by Taddeo Landini.
On 8 August 1944, the bridge was destroyed by retreating German troops, but reconstructed in 1958 with original stones raised from the Arno[4] or taken from the same quarry, under the direction of the architect Riccardo Gizdulich, and the engineer Emilio Brizzi.[5] The missing head of Primavera was recovered from the bed of the Arno in October 1961.

Overview and History
Florence has been relaxing since the very beginning, when Julius Caesar adapted the location to serve as a home for veteran soldiers. Its name means "flourishing" and that's what it's been doing ever since.
If we can ignore that pesky evidence of neolithic rock-smashers, Florence has been occupied for about two thousand years.
Caesar wisely chose the intersection of two rivers for the location of Florence, for defensive purposes. Admittedly he was not the first person to think of this idea, but we'll let him have it for now.
The Arno and Mugnone are the rivers over which Florentines built their beautiful bridges, in order to have something else to decorate. See Ponte Veccio for illustration.
Like all Roman cities, Florence was originally rectangular in shape, bearing long straight roads with ninety degree intersections. The heart of the city was originally at the intersection where today, you will find the Piazza della Republica.
"Piazza" means plaza, not pizza. For my American subway riders.
Being located in a fertile valley along a major river attracted people, commerce and wealth, according to the laws of burgeoning civilization, and Florence grew up to be a leader in all the new phases, such as the Cult of Isis and later, Christianity.
The dark ages hit Florence a little earlier than the rest of Europe. Because of its location on the Italian peninsula, it was fought over viciously during the Gotho-Byzantine war. When Florence was cut off from communications and trade with Rome in the 6th century, its status descended into terrible Lombard dominion most, most foul.
Charlemagne and the Carolingian empire were next up in the roster of rulers, so Florence became a county of the Holy Roman Empire.
Over the next five centuries Florence experienced more growth and construction and landed as the capital of the Tuscany region in the thirteenth century. Merchants' associations multiplied and brought international trade relations to Florence, and yet more wealth for the construction of Gothic buildings, such as the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore.
By the thirteenth century, Florence had rightly earned the reputation as the main city of the West. To symbolize this, they constructed the Palazzo della Signoria.
Enter Black Plague, 1348. Cue flood, wipe out bridges over Arno river. Begin serious urban planning as of fourteenth century, to remedy the economic and political crises.
Remedy? Rhymes with Medici? The Medici family took power by representing the disenfranchised middle class, and began the Italian Renaissance proper.
I suppose being bankers to the Pope didn't hurt the Medicis in their stellar rise to power and fame. The family sponsored generations of artists and thus became responsible for the creation of unsurpassable masterpieces by such titans as Leonardo di Vinci, Michaelangelo, Donatello, Boticelli, Brunelleschi... apologies to the curtness of this sneeze of a historical kleenex I write.
Let's jump to the year 1737, when the last of the Medicis died. Florence temporarily became part of the Austrian empire, then the capital of Italy in 1865. Rome took over six years later as capital and we enter the modern times.
Florence was occupied by the Germans for a year during World War Two. Mussolini met here with Hitler in 1940, after which he led Italy into the war as an Axis power.
In Florence, you will get an education in the Renaissance whether you mean to or not. Her progress now continues into the third millenium, where preservation may be the key word. Automobile exhaust is bad for marble, you know?
Getting There
If traveling by air, you'll fly into either Pisa International Airport or Peretola Airport. Or the ocean but let's say that won't happen.
Peretola is closer to Florence (5km) but it's a small, single-runway airport. In 1990 it was renamed after Amerigo Vespucci, so Peretola is also called Vespucci just to confuse matters. From it you can take a bus, taxi or rent a car to get where you're going. The bus takes about half an hour and costs less than five Euro.
Pisa airport is keeping Tuscany's profile high in the world! The best way to connect to Florence is by the train, which costs about the same five Euros but takes an hour and a half.
Arriving by train is another option for European travelers. For some reason they haven't finished the underground transatlantic subway so Americans will have to fly.
The Santa Maria Novella train station is right in the center of the city and offers connections to bus lines, taxis, or your shoes for walking. For long range view, it connects Rome, and all of southern Italy, to the rest of Europe.
Car rental information is here. Practice yelling and swerving first so you'll be ready.
Taxi fare from Vespucci airport should be about fifteen Euro.
The city transit is run by ATAF bus company. Tickets are under two Euro and you can buy them all over the place at newspaper stands and such.
Most importantly, the center of the city is closed to through traffic and requires a special residency permit to drive there. The restricted area is called the ZTL, or Zone of Traffic Limitation. Car renters make note.
People and Culture
Florence is a very international city and they're on the Euro, so visiting while you're in Europe is no problem. Skipping Florence is a problem. Trying to describe it is an even bigger one, so come and have a look for yourself. The drinking age is only eighteen and the city is filled with students.
Things to do & Recommendations
If you speak the language of food and wine, Florence will be your home away from home. Tuscany is one of the world's great wine producers; the Chianti region is only a few clicks west of Florence.
Outdoor cinemas, theater, opera, ballet, cafes, and museums will easily fill up your time walking and gawking.
Here is a short list of pinpoints to start with in Florence, again with apologies to everything and everyone we had to leave out in consideration of space.
Santa Croce: medieval Franciscan basilica, National Central Library
Rifredi: where you can find Medici villas and also Chinese and African immigrants, and Peretola airport.
Check out Oltrarno for a kinda bohemian neighborhood.
For nightlife, go through all the floors of Central Park (the club) and call me in the morning. Which will be around 3pm if you really do it. Here's the best link we've got since their site went down.
Now can you please pass me the carafe? People do not grow any older while we're at the table. Thanks!

Canes Projected Among Last Teams Out of Tourney
Lunardi's latest projections have the Canes among last 4 teams out. Jerry Palm and Andy Glockner have the same. SBNation Bracketology has the Canes in 2nd four out. So does Foxsports.com. So...hopefully the committee will recognize the impressiveness of Miami's wins over Duke/FSU and the improvement after Reggie Johnson's return. That's all Miami can hang their hats on. Hey....USC was that surprise team last year, so it's not impossible (knocks on wood).

The international break has ended (I spent the last several days in Kansas City watching the US Men's National team. What were you doing?), and the Bundesliga is the first major European league to kick things off with Friday's Hoffenheim and Greuther Fürth match. However, one of Europe's biggest rivalries take place on Saturday when Schalke travel to Borussia Dortmund in the 141st Revierderby.
Friday, October 19
Hoffenheim vs Greuther Fürth - 20:30 CET / 2:30 PM EDT
The weekend starts with Hoffenheim playing host to Greuther Fürth. When we last left Fürth, they were completing one of the most inept starts to a Bundesliga campaign ever. They're bottom of the table, but they're only three points behind Hoffenheim. The hosts were on a good run of form before Bayern Munich put the boot to them before the international break. Fürth is not a very good team.
Prediction: Hoffenheim 2 - 0 Greuther Fürth
Saturday, October 20
Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke - 15:30 CET / 9:30 AM EDT
The first Revierderby of the 2012-13 season takes place this weekend. BVB will definitely be without Jakub Blaszczykowski and Mario Götze due to injuries. Schalke will be at relatively full strength and will be pushing hard for their first win in the league against BVB since February 2010. Both clubs will be hoping to take home all three points to keep up with leaders Bayern Munich. Schalke is currently 7 points behind them, and BVB is 9 points out. Falling even further behind at this point could be devastating with the the form Bayern has shown to start the season. Schalke gets it done over their rivals.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 1 - 2 Schalke
Bayer Leverkusen vs Mainz - 15:30 CET / 9:30 AM EDT
Leverkusen are unbeaten in four straight matches and will be looking to push it to five when Mainz visit Saturday. Stefan Kießling has been on fire with four goals already. After a slow start, Mainz has really turned things on including a victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf in matchday 7 that was only their third allowed goal of the season. We're going to get some goals in this one.
Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 3 - 2 Mainz
Wolfsburg vs Freiburg - 15:30 CET / 9:30 AM EDT
This match won't be for the faint of heart and could actually be quite awful to watch. Felix Magath needs to get this Wolfsburg side playing better and soon.
Prediction: Wolfsburg 1 - 1 Freiburg
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hannover 96 - 15:30 CET / 9:30 AM EDT
Frankfurt fell from the ranks (Okay, it was just them and Bayern.) of the unbeaten two weeks ago with a poor showing in a 0-2 loss away to Borussia Mönchengladbach. They will up against it again this week with Hannover 96 coming to the Commerzbank Arena. Szabolcs Huszti has been one of the players of the season so far, and the Hungarian continues to spectacularly perform.While both sides have been wheeling and dealing goals this season, this one will be a tighter affair.
Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 1 - 2 Hannover 96
Fortuna Düsseldorf vs Bayern Munich - 15:30 CET / 9:30 AM EDT
The Bayern Munich attack will be by far the best one that Fortuna Düsseldorf has faced all season. After not conceding in the first five matches and then conceding three goals in the next two matches, it will be interesting to see how the Düsseldorf defense plays. Against Schalke they played two defensive midfielders right on top of the back four as per usual, and it bit them in the end. If they try this same tactic against Bayern, it could get ugly.
Prediction: Fortuna Düsseldorf 0 - 4 Bayern Munich
Werder Bremen vs Borussia Mönchengladbach - 18:30 CET / 12:30 PM EDT
This is definitely sleeper for match of the weekend. Both Lucien Favre and Thomas Schaaf need wins to keep things moving in a positive direction for their club. Another loss could have the fans questioning their manager's place at the club.
Prediction: Werder Bremen 1 - 2 Borussia Mönchengladbach
Sunday, October 21
Nürnberg vs Augsburg - 15:30 CET / 9:30 AM EDT
Nürnberg haven't gained a single point in five weeks after a bright start, and they'll be looking to put things right when Augsburg come to town. Die Fuggerstädter have been struggling so far this season, but they shocked everyone with a 3-1 victory over Werder Bremen in matchday 7. This would be the match for Nürnberg to get back on track.
Prediction: Nürnberg 2 - 1 Augsburg
Hamburg vs Stuttgart - 17:30 CET / 11:30 AM EDT
Hamburg lost their first three matches to start the season, and things were looking bleak for Thorsten Fink. A visit from Borussia Dortmund loomed, but Hamburg pulled out an improbable win. They haven't lost since including a draw at Borussia Mönchengladbach and a win against Hannover. Things haven't gone as well for Stuttgart, and they sit on only 6 points in 16th place. Bruno Labbadia's seat is starting to get warmer, and he went on a mini-rant after a draw with Bayer Leverkusen. Many thought Stuttgart could challenge for a Champions League place this season, but they won't come close unless things change quickly.
Prediction: Hamburg 2 - 2 Stuttgart

Bristol (AP) — A fatal weekend car accident in Connecticut has been linked to a murder investigation surrounding former Patriot's tight end Aaron Hernandez.
Police say 33-year-old Thaddeus Singleton III of Bristol was killed when the car he was driving slammed into the Farmington Country Club early Sunday morning.
Singleton is married to Hernandez's cousin, and police say the car involved was registered to Hernandez's uncle. Their home has been searched several times by Massachusetts police investigating a 2012 double homicide linked to the former NFL star.
Police seized a vehicle from that home on Friday.
The home was searched again on Tuesday.
The cause of the accident has not been determined. Police said a woman in the car was in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Her name has not been released.

I need a unique way of adding css with js?
Hello I am aware of most of the ways to do this. But none seem to fit my needs on this one. Usually I use jquery to add the class of "js" to the HTML and use html.js {yada} but its too slow in this circumstance. I am loading a image 5 seconds after page load with jquery. But using the html method of adding display none the image flashes briefly. I imagine if I were to put all the jquery at the top then it may not happen. Buts that's not an option. Currently I just have display none in the css. But that does not degrade well. The only way I can think of is to use documentwrite to insert display none and place this above my css links. This would work but its messy and I have to go in and add it to all my pages (I don't trust find and replace). Any other methods I'm not thinking of that would insert display none before the image loads on the page? Thanks!

You Know You Work At Greenlight Apparel When... July 30 2012
We're not your average apparel company. Aside from doing things a little differently on the business side of things (e.g. donating 25% of our profits to causes we believe in like microfinance and education), we're a fun-loving crowd with a propensity for causing a little bit of chaos (the good kind) whenever we hit the road for race expos or get together for late night merchandising sessions. Don't tell us you've never sat in an office till 9 pm with a hang tag gun and thousands of shirts. No? Hm. Maybe that's just us. We'll put it onto the list of "things that happen when you work at Greenlight Apparel."
Curious to see what else is on that list? Well, lucky you, we've got it right here. Drumroll please.
You know you work at Greenlight Apparel when:
- You've had at least one inappropriate encounter with a mannequin at a race expo. Instead of helping you out of your accidentally awkward position, your co-workers stand around and laugh or fumble for their cameras so they can get documentation for the blog.
You own a Momentum shirt. Possibly two. Ok, fine. Three.
- When you're out with your friends you suddenly become really excited as you point at random strangers and say "That's one of our shirts. See it? There's another one. The US Half one, right there!? See it?!"
- You have race shirts from races you haven't run. You spend a lot of time awkwardly explaining why you're wearing a marathon finisher shirt for a marathon you didn't even enter.
The thought of assembling clothing racks fills you with dread.
- You've raced over to IKEA and completely cleaned them out of hangers. Twice.
- You can explain microfinance in 60 seconds or less.
- You use the phrases "Corporate Social Responsibility" "Fair Trade" "Organic Cotton" "Microfinance" and "I want a donut" on a daily basis.
- You once valeted a U-Haul van because there wasn't any parking in downtown Sacramento.
You can say things like "Remember that time we valeted the U-Haul?"
One of the suggestions of things to do at the office holiday party was skeet shooting. The other was going to the San Francisco Academy of Sciences. Diversity is important.
- Watching the Women's Microfinance Initiative videos gets you a little choked up.
- Working includes going to the House of Air in San Francisco and jumping on trampolines. It was for a photo shoot. Honest.
- You are a walking encyclopedia of races around the country.
- You post funny dog pictures on the company Pinterest page even though they have nothing to do with running, athletic apparel, or social justice. You may or may not have also posted a video of a duck running.
- At race expos, you spend the entire day in the convention center and still have no idea where anything is.
- While manning the storefront at the Costco roadshow, you make friends with all of the free food sample vendors. Immediately.
You always have to explain where Fremont is in relation to San Francisco.
You've received at least one lecture on why eating sugar is really bad for you and why you should cut it out of your diet. You went for a week and then gave up. It's important to be healthy, but after running 26.2 miles, nobody should deprive themselves of a donut. Nobody.
- You get to go to really amazing places like Uganda and meet with wonderful people doing incredible things to end poverty, fight injustice, and empower individuals around the world. You're really happy to be a part of that.
- You like donuts. A lot.

To study history is to investigate the rich complexity of the past and what it means to be human. In the process, history students hone fundamental skills – in critical analysis, research, argument, and writing – that are essential to future success.
The history department offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in history and social studies education, as well as a minor in history. Our classes (none larger than 32 students) are taught by professors (no TAs) who combine a focus on teaching with research, which they regularly publish and present in national venues.
This site offers a variety of ways to discover what the history department is about, including:
- course descriptions,
- degree requirements,
- extracurricular opportunities for students, and
- our department newsletter.
You can also meet our faculty (including their research interests and publications) through their own websites, peruse our student scholarships, funding, and award winners, and see some of what has made headlines in the department of late.
As a professional, I could not be more grateful for my education in history. It taught me to think critically, recognize the gray areas of life, have an opinion, be able to support it, and, of course, how to write. And perhaps most crucially -- It fostered in me a tireless curiosity. . . Each history course brought me even more questions. Great Questions. You can never know everything, but you can have the skills to find what you need when you need it.
-- Lauren (Georger) Ziarko, Class of 2007
Our strength is our teaching, building of the past a context for the present and developing the skills students will require in all future endeavors. The accomplishments of our former students prove that knowledge and insight gained from the study of history and teacher education prepares students to succeed in a broad range of future careers (see the American Historical Association's careers with a degree in History). Graduates of IC's history department have become teachers, lawyers, business owners/CEOs, museum curators, professors, and more.
Studying history fostered my writing and critical thinking skills. These skills have been integral to my work in policy and are two of the most important skills that I look for when hiring new analysts and managers.
-- Brian Ohl, Class of 2003

Fedora 13 is Live
The latest release features improved device access, improved virtualization.
Red Hat Inc. announced the release of Fedora 13, the Linux distro and with it comes a list of new features that enhance performance, access and quality assurance.
Fedora 13 contains an improved installer interface that handles partitioning, driver installation, and storage devices more efficiently. Packaged software will allow for scheduled backups, automatic photo import and management.
Fedora 13 also gets improved driver support in the form of automatic printer driver installs and improved 3D graphics drivers for Intel, Nvidia and ATI video cards.
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is now more efficient, as is performance on large-scale multiprocessor systems. Its now possible to for virtual machines to use the same physical network interface cards as the host OS.
Mixed library debugging within GNU debugger (gdb) is now more comprehensive and the SystemTap utility now supports static probes, which allow application developers to abserve how their code interacts with system resources. SystemTap also includes scripts that show Python activity across the entire system and monitor Python call and return functions. These tools make it easier to identify choke points that occur between an application and its function calls. Both Python 2.6 and Python 3 are included in Fedora 13.
On the filesystem front, Fedora supports Btrfs, with added support to filesystem snapshots. Snapshots allow the system to be reverted to a previous state.
Fedora 13 is available now here.

For more information contact CCAC Public Relations
PITTSBURGH—The Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) has been awarded a $1 million grant by The Heinz Endowments to support the enhancement of math education at the college.
During the last academic year, 65% of entering students placed into developmental, or remedial, math courses. Because of this, CCAC is taking steps to improve math performance. The grant will focus on increasing completion rates in CCAC's developmental math courses by providing the resources for faculty to apply new teaching methods shared through professional development programs.
Drop-in assistance centers known as "Math Cafes" will meet the immediate needs of students, with math faculty and tutors available during day, evening and weekend hours. Facilitated math assistance, computer-assisted learning and math skill-building activities will be available in the cafes, along with placement test preparation for individuals who plan to enroll at the college.
The college also provides Student Success Coaches who support students during the math enrichment experience.
"We recognize that many students who come to CCAC require remediation in mathematics, so we are grateful for the generous support of The Heinz Endowments to overcome this hurdle on the path to a college education," said Alex Johnson, CCAC president. "This grant will enable CCAC to provide the math instruction and support services students need to transfer to four-year institutions or to enjoy family-sustaining careers in our region."
As an open enrollment institution, CCAC requires that all entering students take a placement test in order to determine individual levels of competency in mathematics. For students who score below established levels, CCAC requires enrollment in developmental courses to prepare them for the rigor of college-level courses.
About The Heinz Endowments
The Heinz Endowments supports efforts to make southwestern Pennsylvania a premier place to live and work, a center for learning and educational excellence, and a region that embraces diversity and inclusion.
About the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC)
CCAC annually educates 33,000 credit students through 170 degree, certificate and transfer programs and offers non-credit and workforce development courses to 30,000 students. The learning-centered institution's mission is to provide affordable access to quality education and offer a dynamic, diverse and supportive learning environment that prepares the region's residents for academic, professional and personal success in our changing global society. CCAC's quality programs enable students to transfer credits to 520 colleges and universities and support regional workforce needs with accessible instruction available day, evening, weekend and online in Allegheny County and beyond.

September 9, 2011
Dear ODU Campus Community,
On Sunday, we will join with the entire country in marking the 10th anniversary of the horrific and pivotal events of September 11, 2001.
Like the Pearl Harbor generation before us, we will always remember where we were and what we were doing when the terrible news broke that morning that an airplane had hit the World Trade Center. And it will forever leave an indelible mark of profound loss on our hearts.
The tragedy changed the American landscape in so many ways and altered the course of the last decade. But I believe that its legacy should be one of inspiration, from the selfless and heroic acts of first responders; commitment, from the thousands of military personnel who volunteered to serve our country in the aftermath; and, most importantly, love, for the friends and families who never got the chance to say one last goodbye.
As we remember the tragic loss of nearly 3,000 lives, let's be especially mindful of former Old Dominion University students Craig Amundson, Robert Elseth and Lt. Col. Karen Wagner, and the relatives of former ODU students Shaun Mason, Tamatha Patterson, Jennifer Strauss and Jonathan Saporta, who lost their lives in the Pentagon and World Trade Center attacks.
I ask each of you to memorialize the victims of 9/11 with a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane struck the World Trade Center that day. Additionally, I ask you to support the ODU Center for Service and Civic Engagement's 9.11 Memorial 5K, which will begin with an 8 a.m. ceremony on Kaufman Mall. All proceeds will go to the Virginia Wounded Warrior program.
In our thoughts and in our actions, we have the opportunity to keep alive the memory of the 9/11 victims. Reach out to a neighbor who may need help. Volunteer to make your community a better place. Remember to tell friends and family that you love them. Never miss an opportunity to help create a future filled with hope and peace.
John R. Broderick

Campaigners fighting against plans for a Hastings to Bexhill link road will take their case to the High Court in London later today. They are hoping to reverse a decision not to grant them the right to appeal against the one hundred million pound scheme.
While traders say building the new road is vital to improve business links between the two towns od Bexhill and Hastings, environmentalists disagree.

Why not hold on to Summer as long as possible and just follow it?! This portable beach house design will let you do just that!
Designed by Crosson, Clarke, Carnachan Architects, this home was made to rest within the coastal erosion zone, where all buildings must be removable. So, the "hut" is designed on two thick wooden sleds for movement.
The interiors, like the architecture, were kept simple. But no space should go without modern seating and simple home decor.
What a view! And to think, you could actually turn this home for a different view if you really wanted...
And away they go...

Modern wood paneling has no doubt progressed since the 70's, proving it's a trend that will be around for a while! We love the use of wood paneling on walls, ceilings, floors, and all-over because it has the ability to soften up a space. The white wood planks on the walls of this kitchen (above) create a very clean, natural feel. The oiled white oak floor warms up the space and the use of the same material over the hood is a feature design element. See how even this little accent of the natural wood on the walls can make such a big statement.
The marine plywood panels on the ceiling create a unifying element within this space. The use of wood on the ceiling allows you to use tile on the floor without the space feeling too cold.
Reclaimed wood walls are a very popular trend right now. They mix so beautifully with bold colors and industrial elements. The use of industrial wall sconces against reclaimed wood is the perfect pairing.
Wrapping the walls and ceiling of this rustic bathroom in un-milled, reclaimed wood is a great way to achieve that rustic modern cabin feel. The use of light wood planks and the light concrete floor feels bright and airy, creating a beautiful contrast with the black vanity.
Today, restaurant design uses reclaimed wood to achieve an industrial modern feel. It's a trendy look, creates a cozy atmosphere, and also helps absorb sound. Bronze pendant lights really are the perfect metallic accent in any modern, industrial interior. Gunmetal accents also work perfectly with this industrial modern feel.
Whether you're going for a modern-rustic or chic-industrial, incorporating wood paneling or reclaimed wood into your space can provide you layers of textures that bring softness and warmth. It's a trend that will definitely be around for awhile!

Despite the playfulness of his current Small Skyscraper architecture/art installation, make no mistake: it's a burden to be Chris Burden.
He's been shot in the arm, nailed to a VW beetle, electrocuted and crucified. He's even taken out prime time ads in Los Angles and New York. He's done it all throughout the 70s and 80s in the name of performance art.
More recently, Burden has focused on sculptural installations. His Urban Light installation (pictured above) features 202 found street lights, and is a permanent fixture (pun definitely intended) at LACMA (DIY tip: you can shop Euro Style Lighting's selection of post lights if you'd like to build your own Urban Light replica).
However, it's Burden's current work, Small Skyscraper (pictured at the top of this post and below), that finally compelled me to write about the artist.
On view at Pasadena's One Colorado, Small Skyscraper is a playful adaption to a Los Angeles County building code loophole (since closed) that allows buildings to be built up to 400 sq. ft. and 35 feet high without permits. This fun, if a bit impractical, four story piece actually combines for an impressive 1600 sq. ft. of floor space. Small Skyscraper was inspired by a loophole Burden first discovered in 1991 when building his studio on rugged terrain in an unincorporated section of Los Angeles County. The installation itself may be up to code; his documentation of it below, however, is probably less than sufficient for the permit process:
Work like Burden's is hard to commodify, and yet in an age when museum attendees are asked to exit through the gift shop, I feel like I should leave you with something to purchase. So in that spirit, the following are a few floor lamps that, unlike Small Skyscraper, are nearly certain to conform to building codes for the foreseeable future.
Possini Euro Three Tier Wood Slat Frosted Glass Floor Lamp (left), Rattan Rectangular Column 40" High Floor Lamp (right)
See Small Skyscraper between now and November 11, 2012, at One Colorado in Pasadena. The exhibition is presented by the Armory Center for the Arts.

How many of you have had the incredible opportunity to experience Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock desert? Each year the photos prove that it's something everyone should experience just once. Burning Man Festival is a pop-up city so incredible that tens of thousands of people return to the desert each year to be part of this and cut themselves off from civilization.
This year marked the 26th anniversary which was a huge success, per usual. The Temple (above) is one of the most picture-perfect modern art installations of the entire festival.
Artists, techies, hippies, dreamers, corporate professionals and children attend Burning Man. Many are involved not just during this week long adventure, but year round. Whether building, creating, or investing the community invests many hours throughout the year to make their vision come to life.
This art installation titled La Llorona rests on the Playa as if it's been shipwrecked here for years. Nautical themed accessories are great not only for the home, but apparently for the desert as well.
There are many simple words that when seen standing alone in the desert have a whole new meaning. Love and community are at the core of this festival and you can't walk away from it without being impacted.
As the darkness falls, the fire lights up the skies over this pop-up city. Not nearly the same effect, using cool outdoor lighting will help you see without burning down the neighborhood.
This installation called Burn Wall Street is a political piece with a neutral point of view. A piece like this takes about 50 people, three months, and $100,000 to build. Talk about dedication.
Of course, Burning Man wouldn't be complete without its infamous "burning of the Man" ceremony, an interactive spectacle that involves dancers, music, fire and the destruction of a giant statue of a man and a corresponding temple.
Is Burning Man on your bucket list...because it's definitely on mine! If you want a little taste of Burning Man check out Decompression in your city or stay updated with this year round calendar.

Not sure about you, but I find inspiration everywhere! Lately, I'm finding inspiration in posters. This could be due to how excited I am for all my fave shows to be coming back this month, including Once! The set design is amazing!
What sort of style do you pull out of this poster? I see modern glam, all the way! I put together a little round-up based on my inspired design style. The black and white palette detailed with crystal and mirror is super glam. And how can you not add a hint of red for accent?!

Don't be scared to discover inspiration from everywhere when you're designing your home or even shopping just one new item. It's lots of fun and can produce fabulous results!

The Oregon Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying two suspects on surveillance video.
Police say the two suspects jumped over the layaway counter in an employee-only area at Kmart on Jan. 2 and made their way to the stock room. There, the men stole various items from the store, according to a post on the Oregon Ohio Police Division's Facebook page. Police say employees and security were in the store, but no one noticed them.
"The people came in during the day while they were open for business, and entered a secured area of the store. While in that secured area, they were able to get into a fenced-in area where they stole property from that area, and they were able to get out of the store undetected," said Det. Randy Jacobs.
According to police, the men got away with electronics.
Police say since posting the video within the last 24-hours, they may already have a lead. Anyone who recognizes the men in the video is asked to call Oregon Police Det. Randy Jacobs at 419-698-7069.

The Warren County Sheriff's Office has released a composite sketch of a one of the suspects involving a home invasion in Franklin Township.
Police say two men entered a home on Franklin-Madison Road early Saturday morning.
The homeowner told FOX19 he was sleeping on the couch at 6:45 Saturday morning when he woke up to find a man holding a hand over his mouth and saying "don't talk; we just want your money."
A second man had gone upstairs where the man's wife and daughter were sleeping.
What the men didn't know was the homeowner was sleeping with his gun close by. He started fighting with the man who was holding him, grabbed a revolver, and fired it in his general direction. He believes he hit the man, because there were blood drops in the house, but it's possible that could be his own blood, because he was seriously scratched during the fight.
When the gun went off, the second suspect came running down the stairs and both of them fled.
At least some planning went into the break-in: the homeowner believes the suspects got the garage door opener from the car, used it to get in the garage, and used some WD-40 to make sure the door into the home didn't squeak.
Both suspects are white men. The first suspect, in the composite sketch, is described as 30 to 35 years old, 5'8" to 5'9" with brown hair and facial hair and wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and dark pants. The second suspect is in his late 20's to early 30's, 5'6" and 160 pounds and wearing a gray knit cap, puffy jacket and thick mustache.
Deputies from the Warren County Sheriff's Office are investigating the case.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — For the Plattsburgh State lacrosse team to win the SUNY Athletic Conference Tournament championship today, the Cardinals will have to beat the best — the very best.
The second-seeded Cardinals (14-3) will play a noon contest at top-seeded Cortland, which is also ranked No. 1 in the country in Division III.
This will be the first-ever SUNYAC Tournament finals appearance for the Cardinals.
The Red Dragons advanced to the finals with Wednesday's 16-5 win over fourth-seeded Potsdam, while the Cardinals were a 15-7 winner over third-seeded The College at Brockport.
Cortland survived three overtime games earlier in the season against Stevens Institute (12-11), Ithaca (9-8) and RIT (12-11). The Red Dragons' toughest test in SUNYAC play came on March 30 in a 15-12 win in Plattsburgh.
Since that game, Cortland has been on a roll. In eight victories following the Plattsburgh contest, the closest game for the Red Dragons was a 10-5 victory over Potsdam in regular season play.
The Cardinals have also been on a roll. Since back-to-back losses to Cortland and St. Lawrence University, Plattsburgh has won six games in a row.
The Cardinals finished the regular season with conference wins over Oswego (11-10, overtime), Oneonta (16-6), Brockport (9-5), Potsdam (15-9) and Geneseo (14-5).
Plattsburgh, which is ranked 19th nationally, then recorded a win over Brockport in its first-ever home playoff game.
The leading scorers for the Cardinals are Joey Kramer (43-12-55), Brendan Damm (35-16-51), Tim Lawrence (30-16-46), Brett McClelland (24-18-42), Nick Travers (20-7-27) and Tom Duggan (17-10-27).
Gordie Gehring has compiled a 13-3 record in goal for the Cardinals and has made 121 saves on the year.
Plattsburgh, in 17 games, has scored 215 goals and allowed 118.
Cortland, meanwhile, has outscored its opponents, 205-94, and has outshot its foes by a 689-457 margin.
The Red Dragons have eight players with 13 points or more, led by Zach Hopps (24-33-57), Joe Slavik (29-20-49), Cody Consul (23-19-42) and Matt Rakoczy (26-6-32).
Mike Kaminski sports a 15-0 record in net for Cortland and has made 140 saves during the season.
In the first meeting of the season between the two teams, the Red Dragons outscored the Cardinals, 5-2, in the fourth period to prevail in what was the first conference game of the season for both.
Cortland jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the opening period, but Plattsburgh scored seven goals in the second period to pull into an 8-all halftime tie. The two teams were then tied, at 10-all, after three.
Rakoczy led the way for the Red Dragons with four goals, while Slavik added three goals and Hopps two goals and three assists.
Kramer led the Cardinals with four goals, followed by Lawrence with three and Duggan with two.
The winner of today's game advances into the NCAA Tournament. Should Plattsburgh lose, it would await word on a possible at-large berth into the event.
The Cardinals, however, have their sights on winning.

This is an excellent jambalaya recipe. I added the onions, pepper and sausage to the partially cooked chicken to brown them all for more flavor and color and then added the broth and tomatoes. Delicious!!

Well Trained Cat Turns Off The Light 2 hours ago
This cat is cute and environmentally friendly.
The petting zoo, penguin exhibit, and the railroad ride: these are the main attractions for most zoos, lovely animal parks with a family friendly atmosphere (unless the crazy honey badger is coming at you). But even the greatest zoo cannot supply what Break's animal videos can. Imagine the cages were gone and the animals ran free causing havoc throughout the park. Monkey's screaming through food courts. Llamas running rampant across the savanna. This is the Break zoo. From vicious animal attacks to hilarious falls and disgusting animal habits, these clips showcase rare moments from across the animal kingdom.
This cat is cute and environmentally friendly.
I feel like they should get a show where they fight crime.
This fish must really hate his home if air is a better option.
Nature is brutal when it needs to be.
That's just creepy.
It's like crying when someone asks you to wake up.
That guy needs to improve his catching skills.
Close enough to high five.
The parrot felt sorry for the human and let him stay in the race for a bit.
Ahh, the stank of wet dog is in the air.
Either that or he's suicidal...
He goes stiff as a board, that's just weird.
And now your'e dinner.
Dogs never try to fly like that.
Grouper or Loch Ness Monster?
So cute!!!
Awww, he looks so playful.
A little bit of gross and a little bit of fascinating.
Would you trust your dog to do this?
So much determination though.
I'm not even mad, I'm just impressed.
Chase that sumbitch.
Technically you don't need to teach a dog to swim, but whatever
That fox is some kind of jerk.
He's cracked the code.
These are faces even mothers don't love.
Incidentally, why have you been clubbing baby seals?
Good god, there better not be a happy ending.
Take that, you little cat bugger.

The state fire marshal in Texarkana, Arkansas is investigating how the body of a man found hours after a blaze Tuesday night wasn't discovered until the following morning.
Firefighters battled the blaze after the first call came in around 9:30 p.m. to the home in the 1400 block of Rose Street. The body of David Bird, 49, wasn't discovered until nearly 10 hours after the fire was out.
Now, Bird's family wants to know why it took so long. "I am really concerned why they didn't find him last night, and we called them back. They didn't come on their own. We called them back out there. They didn't even come on their own this morning to check again."
Texarkana Arkansas Fire Marshal Stephen Johnson said emergency crews searched the house, but another person at the scene assured them no one else was in the burning building.
The cause of the fire and under investigation. Bird's body has been sent to Little Rock for an autopsy.

The Kentucky State Treasury Secretary is looking for the owners of $200 million in Federal savings bonds.
Secretary Todd Hollenbach said the bonds made their way to the Treasury Office from banks all over the state. Local banks ship the contents of safety deposit boxes when they don't hear from owners for three years.
Hollenbach said he's trying to track down the owners, but since the bonds are Federal, the process requires lots of legal wrangling.
"That's what we're doing now, we are working to try to get some house cleaning legislation to make it iron clad that we are the owners of the bonds in our possession," Hollenbach said. "And then we'll leverage that hopefully to get to the rest of them so we can get that money returned to the people of Kentucky."
If Hollenbach's office, workers can't find the owners, they go to the state's general fund.
You can click here to see if you're the owner of some of those bonds.

Wow, that was a close call. With the air in KeyArena still heavy with upset vibes from UCLA smacking Cal out of the pac-12 tournament, Stanford looked like they might suffer a similar fate in the semi-final round against Colorado. Although to be fair, Cal only scored 14 at the half and was down by as much as 22 points. Stanford was never down more than four, and went on a 9-0 run in the second with 14 minutes left in the game to get some breathing room and keep the lead for good.
Chiney Ogwumike struggled, yet still scored 25 and had 19 rebounds (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
Usually, Stanford will respond to Chiney getting double and tripled-teamed with others stepping up to score, maybe some three-point shots to open things up for her, but not this time. Stanford made one three-pointer ALL game. Senior starter Joslyn was quiet (six total points). Sara James, who had five three-pointers last night, made only one this game and had five total points. She was held scoreless in the first half, and that's never good.
Thank goodness for guard Amber Orrrrange. She might not get a lot of assists per game, but her specialty is driving in and hitting pull up jumpers. And that she did. She would score 13 points for the game, and kept Stanford in it when Colorado would go up by a bucket or two. Then, you can only keep an Ogwumike down for so long, especially after she loses a contact.
After Chiney got her first points of the game at the 11:04 mark in the first, she would go on to score 14 points and grab 10 rebounds, another double-double at half time. Stanford as a team was shooting just 28 percent in that half. Colorado had a slight one-point lead going into the locker room, where Stanford coach Tara Vanderveer could yell at her team for not playing good defense. That was only the fourth time all season Stanford was not leading at half. The last time was in January. Against Cal. And Stanford lost. And Cal had just lost. Hate to admit it, but C and R were a little nervous.
However, Colorado had their physical strategy back fire. They got seven fouls within 10 minutes in the first and Stanford shot bonus all night long. Stanford was 22-29 from the line for the game. Colorado, by contrast, did not get to the line much, and was only 3-4 from free-throw land.
In the second, Amber Orrrrange got a three-point play at the 15:51 mark to put Stanford ahead by three, for their first lead since the first half. Colorado's Chucky Jeffrey, who had an outstanding game with 19 points but no supporting cast, kinda like Chiney sometimes, hit a three to tie it up for the tenth time in the game shortly after. Then Stanford went on that 9-0 run, clamped down on defense, and never looked back. The final score was 61-47.
Stanford's Mikaela Ruef was a big part of that 9-0 run and had strong play in the final minutes. With Colorado keying on Chiney, she could drive to the basket before someone would pick her up and she finished some tough shots. She finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, and a team-high four assists.
Chiney would end up with 25 points and 19 boards, just short of a 20-20 game again. Although looking closer at the stats, she was 9-24 from the floor. That's a lot of misses, especially for her, who shoots something like 60% from the floor. She made her shots in the second, but Colorado did not make it any easier on her. She earned every shot. Several times we saw her miss on the blocks, sometimes twice in a row. That was a rare sight indeed.
Three Stanford players in double figures, yay. Now, Stanford will meet a tough, physical UCLA team on ESPN2, where the rest of the nation can see them play. And what's a Pac-10 or 12 final without a Stanford in it? Because they have been in every single time. Let's hope for another positive outcome and that Stanford is well rested.

|Jennifer Josef, ILGA-ASIA
Medical experts on Tuesday questioned the police move to slap rape charges on Pinki Pramanik after the former Asian Games gold medallist was declared a male on the basis of a DNA test report.
Pinki's medical report, they pointed out, says that the athlete suffers from Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD). A DSD patient, say experts, cannot be termed a male - despite an XY chromosome combination, as Pinki's DNA report has confirmed-because such patients are incapable of performing a sexual act.
It would be unfair to accuse Pinki of rape, said genetic medicine expert Kaushik Mondol, a member of the medical panel investigating the case. "Even though the report says Pinki is chromosomally a male, it doesn't conclude that Pinki is a man... it says the athlete suffers from DSD. DSD patients can't be identified as men," said Mondol, adding they were incapable of penetrative sex.
Gynaecologist Gautam Khastagir said, "Pinki probably has an underdeveloped phallus, an internal testis but doesn't have a vagina or uterus. It makes Pinki a male pseudo-hermophrodite, not a man. Her aggression can be attributed to male hormones and her chromosome, but her sexual identity remains ambiguous."

David Sitzes spent six years roaming the world on a submarine as a nuclear reactor operator for the U.S. Navy.
For three months at a time, he monitored temperature and pressure controls on the reactor to make sure it didn't blow up.
"That's it," he said Wednesday night. "No big deal."
The job kept him away from his family 80 percent of the year, though. So, at some point, he decided he wanted more — a stable life and children.
He wanted to continue working with electronics once he got out of the Navy, but he couldn't find a job.
"I had the experience," he said. "I just needed the degree."
The now-27-year-old enrolled at Purdue University College of Technology Kokomo four years ago to earn a degree in electrical engineering technology and finally saw the fruits of his labor Wednesday night.
Donning a cap and gown, Sitzes walked across the stage in Haven's Auditorium at Indiana University Kokomo to receive his degree. He was among 34 graduates at the Kokomo campus.
"I'm thrilled," he said. "I'm ready to get to work."
Sitzes found a job as an electrical engineer for a company in Indianapolis. He started two days ago.
Other graduates shared similar success stories as they waited for commencement to begin.
Twenty-three-year-old Heidi Ryan earned her degree in organizational leadership and supervision and already has a job as a supervisor at Chrysler.
While Weston Bridgewater took classes at Purdue College of Technology Kokomo, he also found time to work on the latest Corvette radio system at Delphi. That part-time gig turned into a full-time job.
Officials at the university said it's not uncommon for their graduates to land a job well before they finish their final classes. Many are earning degrees in high-demand fields.
The 15 students who earned their degrees in computer and information technology were especially sought after this year. Most had two or three job offers, said Jeff Griffin, director of Purdue's Kokomo campus.
"I'm proud of them," he said. "They've all worked really hard. They've all put in a lot of hours."
Students spoke of all-night study sessions, complex assignments and 100-page reports. They said they sacrificed weekends and time with their families and friends to reach Wednesday's commencement.
"We pushed through, and here is our reward," said graduate Megan Mahoney, who gave the class response.
With their degrees, Wednesday's graduates are poised to find better ways to program a computer or wire a circuit. They're not encumbered by conventional thinking, Associate Dean Andrew Schaffer said during his commencement address.
"You learned how to come up with solutions no one else has thought of," he said.
Success won't come without work, though. And the students have to have the courage to take the first steps. Brilliant minds have been wasted because they never even started their lives, Schaffer said.
"Today you're at the starting point of a great new journey," Schaffer said. "Every one of you will change the world. How you change it is up to you."

They went over to the oysters, but they didn't eat as many — sometimes fewer than half of what other crabs ate under normal conditions. Dodd scratched his head. "Acidification may be confusing the crab," he said. The situation, he concluded, "is more complicated than you'd be led to believe."
Ries said crabs might be getting loopy from all that carbon in their systems, depriving them of oxygen and putting them in a fog.
Both researchers said that acidification happens so slowly that crabs may eventually grow more accustomed to it. "You can't discount evolution taking over," Dodd said.
The Chesapeake Bay oyster certainly doesn't need any more bad news. Two diseases, Dermo and MSX, origin unknown, have killed them by the bushel for decades. That and overfishing have dramatically reduced their numbers, officials said.
Recently, the critter showed signs of a modest recovery in Virginia and Maryland. Virginia, which harvested only 79,600 bushels of oysters in 2005, racked up about 236,200 bushels in 2011, the most since 1989. Maryland had 26,400 bushels in 2005 but hauled in 121,200 bushels in 2011.
Oysters are filter feeders that play a critical role in cleaning the polluted bay. "One hundred years ago, the bay was crystal-clear because they filtered it every three weeks, as opposed to every three years today," Ries said.
That is one of several reasons why the two states recently launched all-out offensives to protect bay oysters.
Virginia created huge sanctuaries in public waters such as the Rappahannock River where watermen are allowed to harvest oysters on a rotating basis about every two years. The state also strongly encourages private aquaculture, selling plots of riverbed or bay floor to oyster farmers for $1.50 an acre.
Maryland has poured $50 million into its oyster recovery effort over the past 16 years. The state now forbids oyster harvesting on a quarter of the bars where they grow, protecting them with a fine of up to $25,000 and 15 years in prison. Maryland is only beginning to develop aquaculture.
