Businessman Steve Lowe applied for a business license through the Solano County Department of Resource Management in October 2010. His aim was to open a retail business at 4169 Suisun Valley Road to sell "herbal teas and remedies, (i.e. lavender, peppermint, thyme)." In December 2013, Lowe received a letter from Solano County denying the business license.
"The Department of Resource Management has received information that Salubrious is, in whole or in part, a medical marijuana dispensary," wrote Bill Emlen, director of the Department of Resource Management, in a letter to Lowe. "Based on this information and in my capacity as the Solano County Business Licensing Officer, I am denying your business license application."
In the letter, Emlen also explained that the board of supervisors unanimously banned all medical marijuana dispensaries within the unincorporated areas of the county. All the cities in Solano County have banned medical marijuana dispensaries except for the city of Vallejo.
Lowe, however, disagreed with Emlen's decision and has made an appeal to the board of supervisors. The board will consider the appeal at 2 p.m. today in the County Government Center, 675 Texas St., Fairfield.
Lowe's attorney, James Silva, wrote to the board of Supervisors that his client should be granted a business license because the county "failed to timely process Mr. Lowe's application."
Silva also explained that Lowe "has at all times been in compliance with the Solano County code."
In a report to the board, staff explained that after Lowe's application was submitted, the Sheriff's Department requested that processing the business license be put on hold while the sheriff conducted an investigation of the business and business owner.
Additionally, Lowe was required to apply and secure a sign permit since his business license application included proposed signage for the business, staff noted in the report. At that time, processing of the business license application was put on hold "as a courtesy to the applicant" to submit a sign permit application.
"Mr. Lowe did not submit a sign permit application for his business, but began operations," staff said in the report. "The Department of Resource Management had no further contact with the applicant regarding his business license application until 2013."
Sheriff Tom Ferrara said the department was given information that the business wasn't what it appeared to be.
"We do a typical background check for every business license," he said. "We don't make the decision when it comes to issuing a business license."
Jim Leland, principle planner, said all business license applicants are finger printed for a background check. In this instance, there was a separate criminal investigation going on with the District Attorney's office, according to Leland, so they were asked to suspend the application process for a period of time.

Andre Villas-Boas has praised the resilience of his Tottenham side after they coasted past Aston Villa 4-0 in the English League Cup.
The Tottenham manager had been vocal about a lack of preparation time coming into the game with his team having played on Thursday and Sunday before travelling to Villa Park but his players showed no signs of tiredness as they romped into the fourth round.
And following their win Villas-Boas heaped praise on his squad for the way they brushed aside Paul Lambert's side.
"(It was) a good performance," the Portuguese manager told Sky Sports.
"And a great response from the team.
"We came here with three players that played that game (versus Cardiff on Sunday), which was a risk, but it was a great response from the team.
"We have great strength in depth, great team spirit this year and the players are all buzzing for opportunities like this."
Jermain Defoe opened the scoring for the visitors on the stroke of half-time after some excellent work from Lewis Holtby.
Paulinho added the second four minutes after the break before Nacer Chadli struck his first for the club with five minutes to play.
There was still time for Defoe to have the last word as he netted a second goal in stoppage time to finish off Aston Villa, and the veteran striker came in for special praise from his manager.
"It was another super performance from Jermain Defoe," Villas-Boas said.
"He showed great desire, his performances have been excellent."
Villas-Boas also underlined his desire to have a good run in the League Cup; providing they are looked after with the fixture scheduling.
"Hopefully if we can get the calendar right (we can do well)," the 35-year-old said.
"Normally we would be given the opportunity to play on Wednesdays, if that happens we will be in contention.
"We want to go further (in the competition)."

…I've been wanting to tuck this one into DUDE News for a little while now. One of our Rockaholics, Karra, passed this on about a month ago. Her 15 year old son, Jacob, is a big music fan, so he's decided to take on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums of all time. That's like 700 hours of listening. Pretty ambitious stuff, and he's blogging the whole thing, with each passing album. Have a look: http://thegreat500.blogspot.ca/

Women's Gymnastics Wins Share of Big Ten Title

The No. 9 Nebraska women's gymnastics team captured a share of the regular-season Big Ten conference title Saturday afternoon in East Lansing, Mich. The Huskers posted its second-highest team score of the season (197.050) at one of the Big Ten quad meets to defeat Illinois (196.875), Michigan State (196.200) and Ohio State (195.675).
In Ann Arbor, Mich., the other Big Ten quad meet was held, where the Minnesota Gophers (196.700) took home the victory over Penn State (196.475), Michigan (196.025) and Iowa (194.750). Nebraska and Minnesota both finished the regular season with an identical Big Ten record of 6-1 to give them a share of the conference title.
The Huskers success was fueled by the four all-around competitors: senior Emily Wong, junior Jessie DeZiel, sophomore Hollie Blanske and freshman Jennie Laeng. Emily Wong took home a first-place finish on bars (9.925) and floor (9.95) en-route to her ninth consecutive all-around crown (39.625). DeZiel claimed the beam title to finish second-place in the all-around (39.425), while Laeng in her second appearance in the all-around notched a career-high score of 39.325.
Nebraska opened the meet on vault posting a strong 49.375 team score. Five Huskers composed of Blanske, DeZiel, Laeng, Ariel Martin and Wong all hit identical marks of 9.875. This gives Laeng her new career-high mark on the event.
The Big Red took to bars notching a 49.250, led by Wong's 9.925 score. DeZiel earned a 9.875 while Laeng and Stephens both tacked on identical scores of 9.825. Amanda Lauer saw her first appearance on bars sticking a 9.80 and a new career-high mark.
The Huskers carried their momentum over to beam for the third rotation, where the team pulled down a mark of 49.200. DeZiel fueled the Big Red matching her career-high score of 9.90, while the duo of Laeng and Wong both claimed 9.875 marks. Jamie Schleppenbach, Blanske and A. Lauer added scores of 9.775 to round out the beam lineup.
Nebraska sealed their victory on floor, posting a 49.225 on their final event of the night. Wong led the way with her 9.95 mark while Blanske contributed a solid 9.875. Martin picked up her new career-high score of 9.825 on the event. Stephens (9.80) and DeZiel (9.775) tacked on important scores to round out the Huskers floor squad.
Nebraska will open postseason competition next weekend in State College, Pa., at the 2014 Big Ten Championships.

A Little Legalese
habendum clause (həb-ben-dəm) 1. The part of an instrument, such as a deed or will, that defines the extent of the interest being granted and any conditions affecting the grant ◘ The introductory words to the clause are ordinarily _to have and to hold_ — also termed _to have and to hold clause_.— Bryan A.

Family relationships, occupations, personal possessions, and even family squabbles may all be contained in that little packet. Administrator bonds, inventories, sale lists, distributive accounts, and other items found in the estate file breathe life into our ancestors and provide us with a glimpse of the person behind the names and dates.

the highlighted area is where Jason Derulo knows what the girls want. london to taiwan.new york to haiti
greenland is right out
ummm no offense but new york to haiti should be measured as the area between the two latitudes, not the longitudes. this graph is incorrect and vastly underestimates the total region of the earth in which Jason Derulo knows what the girls want
Even measuring that way, Greenland remains right out, as does the entirity of Brazil.
Have we considered measuring by neither latitude nor longitude but in all area that would extend perpendicular from the diagonal of the two places?
There are many different interpretations of the data, and until more is available, we ought not conclude anything at this point.
In light of that, I posit this alternative map of regions where Jason Derulo is potentially claiming where he knows what girls want:
As we can see, if we assume that model, the vast majority of the area where Jason Derulo knows what girls want is either open ocean (the Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea) or sparsely populated (the northern Sahara, the northern Arabian Desert, various desert portions of Iran and Afghanistan, and the southern Tibetan Plateau). Four of the ten most populated countries on the planet have no territory in it (Nigeria, Brazil, Japan, and Indonesia), and two which do have relatively little territory in it (the US and Russia). It is suggested that for all his boasting, Jason Derulo does not know what a probable majority of the world's girls want.
Perhaps Jason Derulo's intention was never to proclaim to be omnipotent to the interests of the female gender. Perhaps he was instead expressing his humanity, or the limits of his knowledge. I applaud Jason Derulo. Jason Derulo is not just another 2 dimensional character. Jason Derulo has depth.Jason Derulo has limitations and has come to terms with them. Jason Derulo knows Jason Derulo. Thats why he makes it a point to say his name so much.

Pours a Jet black body with decent enough tan head.
Dark aromas of liquorice, coffee, treacle and pontefract cakes.
Tastes of cola and coal, obviously not as sweet though slight peat and sour notes and hints of cinnamon.
When you couple the taste with a lighter than average mouthfeel ( just a tad to watery) and a slight over carbonation it all comes out more like a bottled mild.
I is puzzled, really.

Deep, dark reddy brown with a good solid tan head on top from both pours.
Mildly malty in the nose: coming stronger as the beer warmed in the glass.
Slight smokey feel (peat bog style) to the semi-sweet malty taste. The beer appeared to be 'on the turn' as I got stale and vinegar flavours within the brew: I've scored as if they were not there!

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Anne Vallayer-Coster
|Anne Vallayer-Coster
Portrait of Anne Vallayer-Coster, by Alexander Roslin 1783
21 December 1744
|28 February 1818(aged 73)
|Known for
Anne Vallayer-Coster (December 21, 1744 – February 28, 1818) was an 18th-century French painter. Known as a prodigy artist at a young age, she achieved fame and recognition very early in her career, being admitted to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1770, at the age of twenty-six.[1]
Despite the negative reputation that still life painting had at this time, Vallayer-Coster's highly developed skills, especially in the depiction of flowers, soon generated a great deal of attention from collectors and other artists.[1] Her "precocious talent and the rave reviews" earned her the attention of the court, where Marie Antoinette took a particular interest in Vallayer-Coster's paintings.[1]
Regardless of her closeness to the ancient régime and France's hated monarch she survived the bloodshed of the French Revolution.[2] However, the fall of the French monarchy, who were her primary patrons, caused her banishment into the shadows.
Anne Vallayer-Coster was a woman in a man's world. It is unknown what she thought of contemporaries who admitted her to the confraternity, and made her an honorary 'man'. Her life was determinedly private, dignified and hard-working. Occasionally she attempted other genres, but for the usual reasons her success at figure painting was limited.[3]
Earlier years[edit]
Born in 1744 on the banks of the Bièvre along the Seine River in France, Vallayer-Coster was one of four daughters born to a goldsmith of the royal family at Gobelines.[3] In 1754, Anne's father moved their family to Paris. Anne Vallayer-Coster seems not to have entered the studio of a professional painter, but instead received her training from a variety of sources, including her father, the botanical specialist Madeleine Basseport, and the celebrated marine painter Joseph Vernet.[4]
By the age of twenty-six, Vallayer-Coster was still without a name or a sponsor; this proved to be a worrisome issue for her.[3] Reluctantly, she submitted two of her still lifes (one of The Attributes of Painting, and The Attributes of Music) to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, as reception pieces in 1770.[5] She was unanimously elected into the Royal Académie once the honorable Academicians saw her paintings, making her one of only four women accepted into the Académie before the French Revolution.[6] This moment of success however, was overshadowed by the death of her father. Immediately her mother took over the family business, quite commonly the case during this time, and Anne continued to work to help support her family.[5] Vallayer-Coster exhibited her first still lifes with flowers in 1775 and four years later she began to enjoy the patronage of Marie Antoinette.[7] With her Court connections and pressure from Marie Antoinette, she received space in Louvre in 1781 which was unusual for women artists.[7] Shortly thereafter, in the presence of Marie Antoinette at the courts of Versailles, she married Jean-Pierre Silvestre Coster, a wealthy lawyer, parlementaire, and respected member of a powerful family from Lorraine.[5][7] With these titles came the very highest ranks of the bourgeoisies, the noblesse de robe. With such a prestigious title came a state office which, traditionally during this time was bought from father to son, making them almost indistinguishable from the old nobility.[7]
She received early recognition of her career after being elected as an associate and a full member of the Royal Académie in 1770. Her strategies in initiating and sustaining her professional career were brilliant. She was as exceptional in achieving membership in the Academy and succeeding in a prominent, professional career late in the 18th century, when resistance to women in the public sphere was deepening and the Académie was as resistant as ever to welcoming women into its ranks.[8] A common image of Vallayer-Coster was not only as a virtuous artist but as a skillful diplomat and negotiator as well, sharply aware both of her potential patrons' interests and of her own, unusual position as prominent woman artist.[8]
The two paintings that she submitted for review to the Académie in 1770, The Attributes of Music and The Attributes of Painting, are now in the holdings of the Louvre. The former is among the early career highlights presented in the Frick exhibition.[4]
Later years[edit]
With the Reign of Terror in 1793, the ancient regime, that up to this point had supported Vallayer-Coster, disappeared.[9] Despite her noble status and her connection to the throne, Vallayer-Coster was able to deviate away from the pandemonium of the French Revolution in 1789.[5] Even with the arrival of Napoléon when the empress Josephine acquired two works from her in 1804, her reputation suffered.[1] After this period of national upheaval, little is known of Vallayer-Coster's career. The only exception that came from this was that she replaced her previous work of still lifes for that of flower portraits; however, these proved to be unavailing.[9]
In 1817 she made a come back with her old subject matter by way of the exhibition of her Still Life with Lobster in the Paris Salon.[9] This piece belonged to Louis XVIII after he was restored to the French throne in 1814. There is some evidence to believe that at Vallayer-Coster gave it to "the king as an expression of her joy as a loyal Bourbon supporter through the turbulent years of the Revolution and Napoleonic imperialism.[9]
Commenting on the Salon exhibit of 1771, the encyclopedist Denis Diderot noted that "if all new members of the Royal Academy made a showing like Mademoiselle Vallayer's, and sustained the same high level of quality, the Salon would look very different!"[1]
She died in 1818 at the age of seventy-four having painted more than 120 still lifes always with a distinctive colouristic brilliance.[1]
The bulk of Vallayer-Coster's work was devoted to the language of still life as it had been developed in the course of the 17th and 18th centuries.[8] During these centuries, the genre of still life was placed lowest on the hierarchical ladder. For this reason, it was expatriated to women. Vallayer-Coster would not allow this to reduce the pride and thoroughness that she put into her work.[10]
She had a way about her paintings that resulted in their attractiveness. It was the "bold, decorative lines of her compositions, the richness of her colors and simulated textures, and the feats of illusionism she achieved in depicting wide variety of objects, both natural and artificial"[8] which drew in the attention of the Royal Académie and the numerous collectors who purchased her paintings. This interaction between art and nature was quite common in Dutch, Flemish and French still lifes.[8] Her work reveals the clear influence of Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, as well as 17th-century Dutch masters, whose work has been far more highly valued, but what made Vallayer-Coster's style stand out against the other still life painters was her unique way of coalescing representational illusionism with decorative compositional structures.[8][10]
The end of the 18th-century and the fall of the French monarchy closed the doors on Vallayer-Coster's still life 'era' and opened them to her new style of florals.[11] It has been argued that this was the highlight of her career and what she is best known for. However, it has also been argued that the flower paintings were futile to her career. Nevertheless, this collection contained floral studies in oil, watercolor and gouache.[11]
Vallayer-Coster had a photographic quality about her paintings. She used a variation of brush strokes to create the illusion that different styles of painting were being used. This was achieved by simulation material substance in paint and through finely blended precision.[11] She used oil on canvas for most of her paintings, but her materials did vary.
Context of art[edit]
For Vallayer-Coster, even inanimate objects had a theatrical character of their own. Her objective was to give an aspect of grandeur to everything that she painted; in doing so, she created an additional sense of stability and plenitude. The result of her work makes perfect sense within the Enlightenment.[2] The images portrayed in her paintings harmonized with the elite bankers and aristocrats, whom held confidence in what they owned. These same men with their ownership of the objects and the paintings believed that they also owned a nation as well. Their high societal status and material possession made them believe that they could "knock still-life off its pedestal".[2] To Michel Foucault, the Enlightenment's encompassing stare and classification of appearances stood for repressive control.[2]
In June 2002 more than thirty-five of Vallayer-Coster's paintings, which were provided by both museums and private collectors of France and the United States, were exhibited at the National Gallery of Art.[9] The exhibition, "Anne Vallayer-Coster: Painter to the Court of Marie Antoinette," was the first exhibition to provide a proper, all-encompassing representation of her paintings. Organized by the Dallas Museum of Art, and curated by Eik Kahng, the exhibition closed on September 22 of the same year.[1][9]
One of her most accomplished works, and one of the highlights of the exhibition, is Still Life with Seashells and Coral (1769). Later in life, in the Still Life with Lobster (1817), which was to be her last painting, she managed what an expert called "a summation of her career,"[1] depicting most of her previous subjects together in a work she donated to the restored King Louis XVIII.
To give an understanding of the magnitude of Vallayer-Coster's achievements, the exhibition included additional works by such renowned artists as Chardin, her elder and the celebrated master of still life painting, and her contemporary Henri-Horace Roland Delaporte, among others.[1]

Dieudonné nous parle de Dominique Strauss-Kahn
Dieudonné nous parle de Dominique Strauss-Kahn sa vie son œuvre....

Dominique Strauss-Kahn is seeking to launch a $2 billion hedge fund as the former French presidential-hopeful's latest venture following the sex scandal that ended his political career. The former managing director of the International Monetary Fund hopes the fund, DSK Global Investments, will profit from his understanding of world finance and political and business connections. Associates of Mr Strauss-Kahn began to market the fund in China on Wednesday in advance of its official opening. If it were to achieve its $2 billion aim, it would be the fourth-largest European launch since 2008. "We have received a warm...more »

Dominique Gaston André Strauss-Kahn (French pronunciation: [dɔminik stʁos kan]; born 25 April 1949), often referred to in the media, and by himself, as DSK, is a French economist, lawyer, politician, and member of the French Socialist Party (PS). Strauss-Kahn became the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on 28 September 2007, with the backing of his country's president, Nicolas Sarkozy, and served in that role until his resignation on 18 May 2011 following a sex scandal.
He was a professor of economics at the Paris Institute for Political Studies ("Sciences Po") and was Minister of Economy and Finance from 1997 to 1999 as part of Lionel Jospin's "Plural Left" government. He sought the nomination in the primaries to the Socialist presidential candidacy for the 2007 election, but he was defeated by Ségolène Royal in November 2006.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn was born in the wealthy Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine. He is the son of lawyer Gilbert Strauss-Kahn. Strauss-Kahn's father was born to an Alsatian father and a Catholic mother from Lorraine; Strauss-Kahn's mother is from a family in Tunisia.

One of the UK's pioneering punk groups, the Mekons got together in Leeds in 1977. Leader Jon Langford now calls Chicago home, and the group still produces music at a prolific pace.
On his first album since 2008, Sweet employs vinyl in the mastering process to sweeten the sound—a sign of his '60s-pop infatuation. Fans of Girlfriend-era Sweet may wish that this record rocked more; others may find its introspection a sign of growth.
Fans of guitar superslinger Phil Keaggy (which include, it is said, the late Jimi Hendrix) know that he's incredible live, the high quality of his studio discs notwithstanding. Here he combines studio precision and live spontaneity as he tackles classic-rock covers ("To Make You Feel My Love," "Here Comes the Sun") and his Christian-music chestnuts ("What a Day," "Salvation Army Band").
Mylo Xyloto strives to be melodic and grandiose, thoughtful and
commercial, a big seller but not a sellout. It's the artistic equivalent
of trying to serve Zeus and mammon, and it doesn't come without risks.
Mark Olson and Gary Louris reunited for a duo record in 2008, but this is the first album they've made together with the Jayhawks in 16 years. The two harmonize like a countrified Simon and Garfunkel, and they write potent songs that stick to your synapses.
That there will be one or two waitingwith hands to hold you through floodsof crowds and reaching for you in riversof sports fans rushing past your head;to lay on blessings of evening explorations,fidget through long hours awaitingthe door latch and the fridge slam youtucked into a familiar corner at home;to give up reaching and fall at the bedside,fold and submit you and your youthbeyond the touch of helping handsto a kinder embrace, not here but not far.

A strong emphasis of SFWDA is education to all Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts to help insure safe and courteous driving and proper vehicle use off-highway. The SFWDA, under the auspices of the United Four Wheel Drive Association (UFWDA), has a 4wd Awareness program which is held on a regular basis for novice drivers. The 4wd Awareness Program educates the 4x4 owner about general off-highway techniques and courtesies related to OHV usage and more specific education related to driving skills, elementary vehicle mechanics, recovery techniques and recommended equipment to carry on the trail. Our emphasis on education not only encompasses 4wd safety, but also emphasizes environmental concerns and the "Tread Lightly" philosophy. In addition, members of the SFWDA are sensitized to today's need for environmental awareness and we try to pass that knowledge on to others in our sport.
Through our partnership and cooperation of Tread Lightly! we can offer these amazing tools. You'll be able to locate a "Tread Trainer" near you, and find out about classes being offered, browse our vast library of recreation tips, watch videos on responsible recreation and even test your knowledge in our Online Awareness Course.
Get some simple tips on ways to minimize your impact when playing in the outdoors.
Tread Lightly! has developed an extensive library of videos designed to offer visual information education relating to the outdoors and its use.
The Tread Lightly! 101 Online Awareness Course is designed to teach the basics about the organization Tread Lightly! and more importantly how to minimize your impacts in the outdoors.
The Tread Lightly! Regional Volunteer Coordinator Program is designed to assist interested Tread Trainers with their local efforts to promote the Tread Lightly! ethic. By creating a network of coordinators, Tread Lightly! hopes to better meet the needs of requests for presentations and promotions at a grassroots level.
Tread Lightly!®'s Master Tread Trainer™ course is a two-day course designed to provide an in-depth look at outdoor ethics focusing on motorized and mechanized recreation on both land and water. Participation in the course qualifies individuals to present the Tread Lightly! message consistently to others in their state or region. Participants will work with Tread Lightly! staff on understanding the role outdoor ethics play in the recreation community learn the Tread Lightly! principles of responsible recreation, develop an action plan for outreach in their community, and be provided with the tools to conduct a variety of learning opportunities including training Tread Trainers through an 8 hour course.
The SFWDA under the United Four Wheel Drive Associations has a 4WD Awareness education program which is held on a regular basis for novice drivers. The 4WD Awareness program intends to educate the 4×4 owner about general off-highway techniques and courtesies related to 4 wheeling and more specific skills related to driving skills, elementary vehicle mechanics, recovery techniques, and recommended equipment to carry on trips. This not only encompasses 4 wheel drive safety, but also emphasizes environmental concerns. Education is an important component of the UFWDA mission.
At UFWDA, we believe that good user ethics, conservation stewardship, and fun all depend on having access to information and education. Whether it's technical "how-to" information on how to drive a 4×4 or user ethics when recreating in the great outdoors, UFWDA provides information to its members to aid them in their travels.

Marquette beats Butler as the Bulldogs wind up on the wrong end of Butler Magic
Mar 23, 2013, 11:04 PM EDT
There aren't two teams in the country that have had more games in recent memory come down to some kind of ridiculous finish. And given that the first two times these teams met, Rotnei Clarke hit a running 25-footer over two Marquette defenders, it only made sense that the ending of Friday's matchup between the No. 3 seed Golden Eagles and the No. 6 seed Bulldogs left everyone surprised.
After Davante Gardner gifted Butler with a missed free throw up three with 22 seconds left, the Bulldogs got another present from Marquette's big fella when he failed to corral a rebound of a missed Roosevelt Jones free throw. Butler, however, couldn't find a way to get a good look at the rim, as Rotnei Clarke settled for a deep three that hit nothing but air.
With the score 72-70, Butler fouled and Gardner, this time, hit both with 4.7 seconds left, but that set off the insanity.
First, Emerson Kampen made his first tournament appearance and threw a 90-foot strike to Andrew Smith that led to a goaltend. On the ensuing inbounds, Marquette threw the ball away, giving it back to Butler with 2.9 seconds left and the score 74-72.
This time, however, Butler Magic had worn off, as Marquette was able to stifle whatever it was that Brad Stevens drew up in the huddle. The Bulldogs had to settle for Smith shooting a stumbling, 25-footer prayer that bounced harmlessly off the back board as the Golden Eagles kept on dancing:
And that, perhaps, was the only truly surprising part of what was the most thrilling game of the NCAA tournament to date.
Butler — the ultimate Cinderella, the program that, perhaps more than any other team in the country, defines March Madness — lost a game in the final seconds because they couldn't execute. Because the last bit of luck, the game-deciding moment of brilliance, turned into their center stumbling and bumbling 30 feet from the rim.
These are the games that Butler wins.
Yet they are the ones heading home.

Granted, the history is new. But Butler-Marquette may be the best rivalry in the new Big East. With the defecton of so many of the traditional programs, I can't think of one better. I don't think anything about recent Georgetown-Nova is better.
- metalhead65 - Mar 24, 2013 at 12:40 PM
wait butler lost? I thought you guys were the #1 program in the state of Indiana? welcome back to reality now that Crean has rebuilt the program at IU you can resume your position at the bottom with dame as far as basketball programs in the state go. could not think of it happening to better fan base than butler whose fans had to ruin a good underdog story by trashing the IU program and their fans when they were down. it does not matter you beat them this year,they are the champions of the best conference in the country unlike your school. and more importantly their banners say national champs not runners up.

Bedford fragrance maven Barb Stegemann is heading to Rwanda at the invitation of the African nation's high commission.
The CEO and founder of the 7 Virtues Beauty Inc. lands in Kigali on Saturday, International Women's Day, to meet farmers who are growing the patchouli for the company's next perfume.
Stegemann says in an email:
"We will also bring a film crew to share the story of the farmers who are 80 per cent made up of orphans and widows from the genocide 20 years ago. The farming co-operatives help them rebuild, and we are so moved that they have invited us to come and share their story. We were invited by the High Commission of Rwanda after they met us at Selfridges."
The 7 Virtues launched its fragrance line, which includes Afghanistan Orange Blossom, Noble Rose of Afghanistan, Vetiver of Haiti and Middle East Peace, at the U.K. department store on Sept. 21, in honour of the United Nations International Day of Peace.
The fragrances are also available in Canada at Hudson's Bay Co. stores, in the United States at Lord and Taylor and at Galeries Lafayette Berlin.
Stegemann visited Haiti on an agricultural trade mission with former U.S. president Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation in March 2013. Vetiver of Haiti uses organic vetiver essential oil sourced from Haiti.
The mother of two is the first woman from Atlantic Canada to seal a deal on CBC's Dragons' Den, where she met her business partner, philanthropist W. Brett Wilson. Later, she was named top game changer in the show's history.
