Hands on with the Samsung i450
Remember when I said I had my eye on the i450? Yeah, well, my mind hasn't changed one bit. See the red scroll-wheel dealie on the left side? It doesn't move, rather, it's a touch sensitive ridge. When you get where you want to go (if you wanted to see all the artists or albums), you simply press down in the center of the arc and it jumps to that particular screen. The OS… Read More
Hands on with the B&O, Samsung Serenata
Here we have the lovechild of Samsung and Bang & Olufsen. It's a quirky looking phone that most would think is upside down. We typically see scroll-wheels set at the bottom of the handset rather than the top. Sound quality on the Serenata is superb. It definitely improves on the Serene. The UI is all done from the scroll-wheel or on the touch screen, which is limited to firing up… Read More
Hands on with the Samsung Armani
The Armani phone from Samsung was revealed weeks ago, but today we had a chance for some hands on and I'm very impressed. It's small form factor, 3.44×2.14×0.41-inch, and touch screen UI are quite intuitive and easy to use. The 2.6-inch QVGA touch screen has haptic feedback for everything, but it shuts off when you're dialing a number, which is something I found… Read More

CrunchGear in Korea: Hello from Sunny Seoul
Just landed an hour ago. I'm here with Samsung suckling on the sweet teat of junket whoredom. In all honesty, this should be a pretty cool trip as we're going to see WiMAX in action, their Mobile TV solutions, and visit KES 2006, which is kind of like CES but Korean. To whet your appetites, I've got some pictures of the R-MCA-05-0038 phone – the June? – with… Read More

Abbey's adoption fee is waived through March 30.
5-year-old Abbey is a darling sweetie-pie who can sometimes come across as a shy, gangly, awkward teenager. She is a little unsure of herself in new situations and with new people, but show her a little bit of gentle love and you will have her wrapped around your pinky, leaning against you to solicit more gentle pats. Abbey would love to be your faithful, sweet sidekick in a quiet home with a low-key daily routine and not too many visitors.
Abbey loves treats and would be an excellent candidate for a Manners for Wallflowers class where she can build some confidence and transition into her new home.
It is unknown whether Abbey has previous experience with children. She currently weighs 42 pounds.

Excellent cast. Can't complain about the singing, acting, and overall quality of the show. Except for about 3 songs, however, most of the other songs were not memorable.

Great to hear that haunting score again. It's a tough show to pull off as so much is required, or even demanded by the audience as far as sets. Musical Theatre West did an impressive job of creating Norma Desmond's mansion on stage. More then...continued

Amazing revival of a classic. It's been almost 20 yrs since Sunset had its last professional tour and this revival was better vocally than the original. The house was full and there wasn't a restless moment in the entire evening. Great theater.

Musical Theater West always has superb performances and this one is a fabulous production. The Carpenter is a great venue and DON'T MISS THIS REMARKABLE PRODUCTION!!! WOW!!!

Over the past three months, I've been on a real fruit obsession. Fruit smoothies, shakes, muffins and jams galore! If you remember, I even put blueberries in a cookie (OMG so good!).
One fruit I'm absolutely in love with are the organic braeburn apples from Trader Joe's. They're one of my favorite healthy snacks especially when dipped in peanut butter or vanilla greek yogurt. I feel so lucky when I find them because they have the sweetest flavor and best crunchy texture. Lord knows I'm already excited for apple season so I can bake up my famous apple crisp and warm up some hearts.
I hope your weekend was TOPS!
I spent the weekend in solitude. And honestly, it was so refreshing. I cleaned out my closet, worked out, bought new running shoes, worked on blogging techy stuff, and made a few recipes. I also watched an episode of The Leftovers, a new show on HBO. I'm kinda put off by it, but also a little intrigued. Have you seen it?
In other news, I'm a little annoyed with myself for not sharing this strawberry protein shake recipe sooner, but here it is now! I promise that you are going to love it.
These pumpkin chocolate chip protein oat muffins are absolutely delicious! They're made with a scoop of protein powder and greek yogurt to provide extra protein. Plus no refined sugars added and they're gluten free!
Zucchini season is HERE because my Pinterest feed told me so. I even made a board devoted to all things zucchini (shameless plug so you can follow me!).
If you're thinking that you would never put zucchini in a baked good, it's time to get out of your comfort zone because these muffins are MIND-BLOWING and full of chocolate love with zero zucchini taste.
I love when vegetables can taste like chocolate, don't you?
Do you ever find yourself eating pancakes at 10pm, cuddled on the couch watching Netflix, all the while being on your computer and listening to music?
A delicious smoothie made with wild blueberries, banana, almond milk and spinach for a nutritional boost. Finished with a sprinkle of chia seeds for a healthy dose of omega-3.
Hello. Let me proceed to tell you about how weird I am.
Last night I had this out of control craving for broccoli after my workout. Just steamed broccoli with sea salt and pepper. Quite ridiculous really, but I absolutely had to have it. So off to Target I went. Except you know when you walk into Target, it's not like you're walking right out. Nope, you're going to be there for at least an hour filling your cart with things you never knew you needed. Classic example: Vanilla Cupcake Goldfish. They basically taste like sweetened little animal cracker cookies. And if you've been here a while, you know how I LOVE animal crackers (especially frosted). Oh and also, coconut milk conditioner. YUM.
I finally managed to leave Target with two bags full. By the time I got home I WAS STARVING. Do you ever get to the point where you're so hungry that you can't even think? I thought about breaking open a jar of peanut butter in my car on the ride home, but knew that wouldn't lead to anything good.
Once home, I basically destroyed an entire bag of steamed broccoli for dinner. Obviously that filled me up, but only for one episode of The Vampire Diaries, so of course I had to make something else. Since I've been really trying to clean up my diet (minus the goldfish), I opted for one of my favorite power smoothies.
Lately I've been really into blueberries in just about anything. WILD blueberries to be exact. I like the name and I like the flavor. In fact I kinda feel like Tarzan after eating them.
Really though, they're SO much better then the conventional ones. I usually purchase mine from Trader Joe's, but if you can't find them there, opt for organic blueberries. I promise you'll notice the flavor difference.
Mother's day is right around the corner. Each and every day I thank God how lucky I am to have a Mother who is kind, selfless, caring, and encouraging.
My mom lifts me up when I'm down, encourages me to always be the best person I can be, and absolutely loves me unconditionally. After my father passed away several years ago, my mom and I became inseparable. I've learned to keep the people you love close, let the little things go, and be appreciative of what you have.
Giving back to Mothers is such a hard thing to do. How can you give someone something who has given you everything? You really can't. But making her pancakes is pretty close. They're made with love after all.
These pancakes are incredibly fluffy, moist, and absolutely melt in your mouth. And there's actually TWO secret ingredients that keep them light, fluffy and tender:
Buttermilk: The tang and richness it brings to baked goods is undeniable. I promise you'll notice the difference. It's slightly acidic and so when mixed with baking powder, it will allow the pancakes to rise and keep them from breaking down. The result is a tender fluffy pancake that will leave you speechless – promise.
Greek Yogurt: Adding greek yogurt to pancakes makes them the holy grail of breakfasts, I swear. It helps to thicken up the batter, but still leaves you with the lightest pancake. Pretty magical.
Healthy breakfast burritos stuffed with sweet potatoes, black beans, egg whites, and avocado. You're going to love this protein-packed breakfast!
When I was younger, my mom used to make me the best burritos. All she did was place refried beans, cheese, and hot sauce inside of a wheat tortilla. She'd warm them up until the cheese was perfectly melted, warm and gooey. The creamy texture of the refried beans with the melty cheese was always my favorite kind of comfort food; so simple, yet so dang good. We'd happily enjoy our giant burritos together on the couch while watching movies.
I remember noticing she would always eat her burritos with avocado slices that were sprinkled with salt and pepper. Sure enough, it didn't take me long to get hooked on that. The creaminess of the avocado mixed with cheese and beans? Well, it was perfection.
Those memories came back to me, and I decided to make these. A simple, healthy twist on an old favorite made especially for the mornings. They're packed with protein, super delicious, and will certainly keep you energized through the morning.
These burritos happen to include most of my favorite things:
Sweet potatoes. I eat them almost everyday so here's another way to get their deliciously sweet flavor in.
Black beans. Name a better bean. Oh wait, you probably can't.
Avocados! Creamy. Full of healthy fats. Just heavenly.
Eggs. Gotta get that protein in. I used egg whites in this recipe but you do your thing!
Enchilada sauce. Drizzle it on baby.
Cheese. Just a little bit of ooey-gooeyness. We need the melt, yo.
Low Carb Whole Wheat Tortillas. I always use La Tortilla Factory but regular whole wheat tortillas will also work great.
Quick and easy gluten free oatmeal pancakes made in the blender! These healthy pancakes are topped with the most incredible creamy peanut butter maple syrup then finished with a sprinkle of sea salt.
I'm on another one of my pancake kicks. This obsession is ridiculous.
But until I run out of pancake making ideas (and toppings), I'll keep bringing them to you. Because really, who doesn't love pancakes?
In reality, I've been eating pancakes more than what should be considered normal.
What do I eat for breakfast? Pancakes, obviously. With blueberries to start the day out right.
Lunch? Ugh, guess I should do a salad to get some veggies in. Note: The entire time I'm thinking about breakfast and ways I can top my pancakes.
Dinner? PANCAKES ON MY MIND. Again. Wouldn't you agree that breakfast for dinner never gets old?

Over 11.5 corners at odds 1.77
Liverpool – Swansea
So many things told about this disappointed Liverpool, when you think that finally, they will look like a good team they show us that nothing changes.
In this time Liverpool will come to this game when they are 2 places after Swansea.
Something very interesting that you should know: Liverpool didn't win Swansea until now!
They played against them 4 times: 2 0-0 and 1-0 and 3-1 wins to Swansea!
I think that this time Liverpool will win this game but I will not put my money on this one!
We will talk about the corners we expected to see:
Liverpool has average of 7.7 corners won and 4.3 conceded per a match.
Swansea has average of 5.3 corners won and 5 conceded.
If we will turn the statistics to numbers we expect that Real Madrid will have in this game 11 corners.
If we will try to imagine what will be in this game we will see Liverpool attack from the beginning and get few corners and then: 2 options- they get a quickly goal and continue to attack like they always do at home, the second option: they don't score but continue to attack and to reach a lot of corners.
In the 3 games between them were 12, 15 and 22 corners.
My pick: Over 11.5 corners at odds 1.77

Found February 27, 2013 on Pro Football Zone:
PLAYERS: Bryan Bulaga, Marshall Newhouse, Don Barclay, Derek Sherrod, Aaron Rodgers
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers may move Bryan Bulaga to left tackle. Before they make any rash decisions, they're going to take their time and think about it. Even though the Green Bay Packers aren't giving up on Marshall Newhouse at left tackle they're confident that Bryan Bulaga also could play the position. The Packers will spend the next six months deciding if they're better with Newhouse at left tackle, Bulaga at right tackle and Don Barclay backing up or Bulaga at left tackle, Barclay at right tackle and Newhouse backing up. If Derek Sherrod is able to resume his career after a year's absence from a broken leg, the former first-round draft choice could improve enough to become a factor as well. After this past season, the Packers will need to figure out the best way to improve their offensive line. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers took some big hits in 2012.

Bodega Bay Oyster Company [Petaluma]
The sign is up but the place is not open yet. Located in the same building as the old New Amsterdam place on Valley Ford Road just east of route 1. Not sure if it's going to be a restaurant or just a retail outlet.
Cool, please keep us posted on progress. Mapquest had the address and phone.
Bodega Bay Oyster Company
12830 Valley Ford Rd
Petaluma, CA 94952
(707) 876-3010
re: CitizenS
I would like to pick up some oysters for a small party this Sunday. Is it open yet?
re: RossHalleck
As of this afternoon 4/29, no it is not open yet.
re: Andrew H
Thanks for the update. Besides retail and wholesale shellfish, the site says it plans to open a casual eatery soon.
Thanks again for telling us about this new biz. A friend checked it out last week after reading this and reports that the kumamotos were outstanding. He's very happy to be able to buy this quality closer to home and avoid the extra hour round trip of driving to Marshall.
We stopped here over the weekend for clams, not oysters ironically, and we were happy to find the same tiny, nubby, rounded Point Reyes manila clams that are sometimes available at Tokyo Fish in Berkeley but nowhere else that I know of. These clams were super fresh and fabulous in a simple Portuguese style Ameijoas á Bulhão Pato ( clams with garlic, parsley white wine) that we made at home. Clams were $6/lb. Oysters were $10-$16 dozen with deals for larger purchases. It is a pretty bare bones operation at present.
re: flavorenhancer
what kind of oysters were $10-$16 a dozen? If the price includes the Kunamotos, it will be quite a deal!
re: ckshen
The chalkboard in my too-blurry-to-post photo shows:
Bodea Miyagi
X-sml $10/doz, $40/bag of 50
Small $13/doz, $50/bag of 50
Medium $16/doz, $60/bag of 50
Large $18/doz, $70/bag of 50
Pt. Reyes Kumamoto $16/doz, $60/bag of 50
Bodega Bay Virginica $16/doz, $60/bag of 50
Clams, Mussels, $6/lb.
Time to get shucking?
My husband and I stopped on Father's Day the 15th to take oysters back to Sacramento with us. We stopped at at 10:30 (sign says they open at 10:00) and they were closed. Came back at 11:30 and the girl was just opening. She told us to wait until she put her things away. 20 minutes later she asks what do we want. We tell her 50 mediums and I asked her if they usually opened at 10:00. She gives us the dirtiest look and says "hey, life happens"! She proceeded getting us the oysters with her very bad attitude. We BbQ.d them when we got home, only to find 12 dead and the rest were muddy, sandy and almost dead! They were the worst oysters I have ever had! We will never stop again. After that experience I don't mind the drive to hog island!!

Israeli Bombing Turns Gaza Into Ghost Town
It's the holy month of Ramadan, when people throughout the Muslim world meet with friends and family, buy presents for loved ones and break a day-long fast each evening amid colorful street scenes. But not in Gaza City, one of the world's most densely populated cities. A ceaseless Israeli bombing campaign, with airstrikes every five minutes, has turned the frenetic hub of the Gaza Strip into a virtual ghost town, emptying streets, closing shops and keeping hundreds of thousands of people close to home where they feel safest from the bombs.
"Israeli Bombing Turns Gaza Into Ghost Town" is categorized as "world". This video was licensed from Grab Networks. For additional video content, click the "video" tab at the top of this page.

Re-inventing the telecommunications industry
AbstractAfter a decade of meteoric growth, the telecommunications industry now faces mounting challenges, leading to question whether the industry may fall victim of its own success. Dramatic forces are radically changing the telecommunications landscape, and it is not at all clear how it will evolve over the coming years. Giving the ongoing uncertainties, IBM undertook scenario envisioning, that enables the industry to assess alternative contrasting futures distinctly different from the present. The findings are built on an extensive fact base, including face-to-face executive interviews with around 130 telecom providers, over 13,000 consumers surveyed in 25 countries in both developed and developing markets, and extensive secondary research. The analysis identifies four plausible scenarios that might emerge over the coming years, based on the trajectory and interplay of two key uncertainties: future addressable market growth and industry competition/integration structure. The presentation will address: • how the industry has evolved in the last decade • the disruptive forces radically altering the telecommunications landscape • the most likely scenarios for both developed and developing markets • how advances in technology help telecom providers to prepare for the future • how telecommunications stimulate economic development and improve lifestyle for people in both mature and emerging countries --

June 11, 2014
The April 2014 index level of 117.6 was 24.1% above the April 2009 low during the most recent recession.
The level of freight shipments in April measured by the seasonally adjusted Freight TSI, was at the second highest all-time level and 0.1% below the all-time high level of 117.8 in November 2013. TSI records begin in 2000.
The March index was revised upward to 117.1 from 116.7 in last month's release. Smaller upward revisions were made for December and January.
The April increase in the freight index was led by trucking and rail intermodal, which grew rapidly for the third month in a row. Rail carload growth slowed after fast growth in March. The freight index has now risen for three consecutive months following a bottom in January that was largely weather-related and affected the entire economy, as measured by the gross domestic product decline in the January-to-March period.
Freight shipments are up 24.1% in the five years from the recession level of April 2009 and are up 6.4% in the 10 years from April 2004.
April 2014 freight shipments were up 4.8% from April 2013.
The Freight TSI measures the month-to-month changes in freight shipments by mode of transportation in tons and ton-miles, which are combined into one index. It measures the output of the for-hire freight transportation industry and consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland waterways, pipelines and airfreight.

What do Indian shoes look like, anyway? Like beautiful beaded moccasins...or hightops with bright orange shoelaces?
Ray Halfmoon prefers hightops, but he gladly trades them for a nice pair of moccasins for his Grampa. After all, it's Grampa Halfmoon who's always there to help Ray get in and out of scrapes -- like the time they are forced to get creative after a homemade haircut makes Ray's head look like a lawn-mowing accident.
This collection of interrelated stories is heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny. Cynthia Leitich Smith writes with wit and candor about what it's like to grow up as a Seminole-Cherokee boy who is just as happy pounding the pavement in windy Chicago as rowing on a take in rural Oklahoma.
About the Author
Like Rain, author Cynthia Leitich Smith was raised, at least in part, in northeastern Kansas. Smith attended college in Douglas County, the home of fictional Hannesburg, and completed a journalism degree at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. During college, she worked at a few small-town newspapers as a reporter. Then she earned a law degree at the University of Michigan. Today she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and two gray tabby cats. She's a mixed blood, enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
Cynthia Smith is also the author of the picture book Jingle Dancer, which Publishers Weekly called a "heartening portrait of a harmonious meshing of old and new"In Her Own Words
I'm a mid-to-southwestern kind of gal. Growing up, I lived in the Kansas City area, on both the Kansas and Missouri sides of the state line, and as I grew older, I lived in Oklahoma, Michigan, and Illinois. Today Austin, Texas, is my home.
I was an only child, whose constant companions were a dog named Sir Gahald XIII (but called "Tramp") and an array of library books.
I developed an interest in reading at an early age, and won my local public library reading contest in Grandview, Missouri, when I was in the third grade. Some of my favorite books were Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume; and Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Through reading I cultivated a desire to write, and published my first piece in the "Dear Gaby" column in the sixth-grade paper.
My interest in writing continued through high school, during which I edited the newspaper and pursued both dancing and cheerleading. After finishing high school in 1986, I went on to become the first person in my family to graduate from college. There I spent much of my time writing as a minority issues reporter for the campus newspaper and eventually completed my undergraduate studies in 1991 with a degree in journalism.
I never thought of writing and reading fiction as a viable career option, and so I finished law school in 1994, where I had been president of the Native American Law Student's Association. For a while I worked in a federal law job in Chicago, but I was bored. I decided that in order to be happy I needed to turn to something that not only mattered to me, but also affected others in a positive way. So I quit my job and embarked on a new career as a children's author
What I enjoy most about writing are the challenges. I like writing for different genres, and have so far written a picture book, a chapter book, and a middle-grade novel. Truthfully, I just want to continue improving. Once I create my characters, they begin to fashion the setting and plot around themselves. I assume very little at the beginning, and am always surprised by what I find.
I know that people often characterize my stories as "Native American" or of some similar nature and that's fine for reference purposes, but I intend for my books to go deeper than that. I try to weave real life into the stories naturally, helping me to attain my goal of offering a unique cultural and literary world through characters that laugh, cry, breathe, and, most importantly, live.
Praise for Indian Shoes…
A very pleasing first-chapter book from its funny and tender opening salvo to its heartwarming closer.
-Kirkus Reviews
Shoes is a good book for any elementary-aged reluctant reader, and a necessity for indigenous children everywhere.
-School Library Journal
This book ably springs Ray Halfmoon free from the paint-and-feathers representations of American Indians
-Chicago Sunday Tribune
"…this is a book so permeated with affection that many readers will just bask in the warmth [of it]…"
-Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick Named 17th President of Howard University
WASHINGTON (July 22, 2014) – The Howard University Board of Trustees accepted the unanimous recommendation of the Presidential Search Committee and voted to appoint Wayne A. I. Frederick, M.D., MBA, FACS, as the University's 17th President during a meeting on Monday evening.
The Presidential Search Committee, chaired by Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., was comprised of all of the University's stakeholder groups: students, represented by the president of the Howard University Student Association; alumni, represented by the president of the Howard University Alumni Association; faculty, represented by two Faculty Senate appointees; and a representative of the Howard University Staff Organization. The Committee included 15 alumni, nine trustees, including two trustees emeriti, five academicians, the Attorney General of California, a Vice President of the Lumina Foundation, and the Mayor of Atlanta.
"Selecting a university president is one of the most critical decisions a Board of Trustees is entrusted to make, and Dr. Frederick's selection is the result of an extraordinarily thorough and thoughtful process," Jordan said. "After conducting an exhaustive national search, we identified a finalist pool, comprised of both internal and external candidates. From this stellar group, Dr. Frederick stood out as supremely qualified, remarkably motivated, and uniquely suited to lead Howard University."
Board Chairman Stacey J. Mobley said, "We conducted an inclusive national search and are excited to name Dr. Frederick as the next president of Howard University. He brings insight, energy, and the requisite vision to advance the Capstone through collaboration and engagement."
Frederick has served as the University's interim president since October 2013. A respected scholar, surgeon, researcher and administrator, he previously served as Howard's Provost and Chief Academic Officer, charged with oversight of Howard's 13 schools and colleges, as well as its health sciences enterprise.
"I am deeply honored to be selected by the Board of Trustees to lead this great University," Frederick said. "Howard University has been an unparalleled catalyst since its founding, opening doors and expanding opportunity for untold individuals while driving research, innovation, service, and excellence. On the cusp of our 150th anniversary, I could not be more humbled to accept the mantle of leadership and embrace the sacred trust of our motto, Truth and Service."
Frederick enrolled at Howard University as a 16-year-old from Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, to pursue his dream of becoming a physician. He earned a dual B.S./M.D. degree program at 22, and went on to enter a surgical residency at Howard University Hospital. He completed a post-doctoral research fellowship and a surgical oncology fellowship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Howard's School of Business.
The Search Committee's process was designed to be inclusive and transparent. It included a strategic institutional overview of Howard's operational, organizational, competitive, and environmental challenges and opportunities. The overview served to inform the development of search criteria to match the needs of the University. The Search Committee also implemented an extensive engagement process with the Board's Transition Committee. This engagement process included an online survey of all key stakeholders, seven on-campus forums, 16 alumni forums in various metropolitan areas across the country, and eight affinity group webinars. Insights gained from these outreach activities also guided the Search Committee's evaluation of the candidates.
Jordan added, "I thank the members of the Search Committee for their tireless work, as well as members of the community who participated in stakeholder forums, webinars, and survey. This level of engagement is critical to advancing our University."
Members of the Search Committee also expressed their support for the process.
Mercedes Vidal Tibbits, Ph.D. — Undergraduate Faculty Representative, Howard University Faculty Senate.
"As Faculty Senate representatives on the Presidential Search Committee, we participated in a comprehensive search process. Our voices were heard and our views shared. I was very satisfied with the depth and breadth of the search and the commitment to faculty engagement."
James K. Pleasant — Director, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Services, Department of Physical Facilities Management, Howard University
"Having participated in the presidential search process, I am fully confident that the decision we made will pay dividends to Howard University for many years into the future under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Wayne Frederick."
Dominique Perkins — President of the Howard University Student Association
"The search process was very thorough and transparent. I was humbled to be the undergraduate student representative. Along with the graduate student representative, we were able to advance student priorities and needs to all the candidates. I am excited about Dr. Frederick's leadership."
Kelechi C. Anyanwu — President of the Howard University Graduate Student Assembly and third-year doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology Program
"Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick is an outstanding leader who exemplifies the characteristics, leadership qualities, experience, and connections needed to take Howard University to the next level of academic excellence."
Chris Washington — President of the Howard University Alumni Association
"It was a great honor to be a member of the Presidential Search Committee. A new president represents a new era for Howard. I am happy and confident that our process was extensive and complete. I am in total support of our choice of Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick as the 17th President of Howard and look forward to continuing our alumni engagement as we strive to achieve the mission and goals of the University."

Changes on the Bison Express Board of Directors
I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank four Bison Express board members who will be leaving the board effective July 1, 2014. They are:
• Marjay Anderson
• Larry Banks
• Sheila Marshall
• Rick McGhee
I know I speak for the board as well as myself in saying that these individuals' dedication and service will be missed. The contributions they made to Bison Express and Howard University Athletics are too many to mention. The commitment and financial support as they remained active board members over the years is greatly appreciated.
We will do our best to continue the good work these former board members produced during their tenure. And they should not be surprised if we call on them for advice and counsel from time to time!

'Voice of the Bison' hits CNN on Sterling, racism
Chuck Walton III has a lot going on. The graduating senior is the play-by-play announcer for Howard University sports, a co-founder Elite Insiders blog and a contributor to the ESPN 980 radio station.
He recently wrote a column for CNN and appeared on-air for a live interview after Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling received a lifetime suspension for racist remarks.
"I hear the subtle signs of racism on talk radio or on the Internet, where coded language of 'quotas' and 'boot-straps' is used in substitution of the old phrases of 'ghettos' and 'laziness,'" Walton wrote. "I read the Twitter feeds and troll the comment boards, listening to how those of like mind cluster together, reinforcing their own points of view."

Gyau to leave no stone – or sand – unturned
Philip Gyau has a long road ahead in rebuilding Howard's men's soccer program. But that doesn't mean going to the beach is off-limits. He was there two days before he landed the job and he'll go back if it can help the team.
"I used some of the training methods from beach soccer with youth teams all the time – and I had players who went on to become national team players," he told Boxscore News during CONCACAF's first-ever beach soccer coaching course, at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "It teaches you to control the ball in the air, to gain a close control … the technical skills are certainly very useful."
Gray, 48, will use every tool at his disposal to lead the Bison back to the national prominence they once enjoyed. The heyday ended before he arrived on campus, but he's well aware of the history – as is Howard's interim president Wayne Frederick, team manager when the Bison advanced to the 1988 NCAA title game.
"It's extremely important to rebuild the soccer team because we have a strong history of success," Frederick said during Gyau's introductory press conference. "My first impression of athletics here was one of excellence."
Gyau was "saddened" to watch Howard drop so far, 1-17-0 last season and ranked dead last among Division I's 203 teams. "This school game me everything," he said. "I want to give back."

Howard football alums help clinic click for coaches
By HOWARD MANN
Pep Hamilton has come a long way since playing quarterback for the Bison from 1993-1996.
He began his coaching career right away, starting at his alma mater, and enjoyed stints with the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears and Stanford University before landing his current position as offensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts.
Hamilton was the keynote speaker during the inaugural Howard University Football Coaches' Clinic earlier this month. He was joined by fellow former Bison Antoine Bethea (49ers saftey) Roy Anderson (Colts defensive backs coach) and Jimmie Johnson (former Vikings tight ends coach).
They all spoke of the importance of giving back to Howard, both in time, talent and treasure.
"As alums, we have to do a better job of reflecing on some of the things we had to overcome," Hamilton said, "and do what we can to help that next generation of Howard grads not have those bumps in the road."

Howard beats Morgan State for 2014 HBCU lax title
ATLANTA – The 2014 HBCU Lacrosse National Tournament was held April 6 at Morehouse College. The four-game tournament was for this year's bragging rights among the nation's four Historically Black Colleges & Universities that field men's club lacrosse programs.
In the championship match, Howard University rallied to defeat Morgan State University, 6-5. The Bison trailed, 4-2, at halftime but tightened their defense after the break. The second half featured rain and a field with scattered puddles full of pollen, which made for challenging, yet exciting, lacrosse.
The Bears fought hard and won most of the ground balls due to the Bison's multiple passes that were missed or dropped. But Howard was relentless in its position defense and played with confidence in its offensive sets, producing four second-goals to dethrone the 2013 HBCU national champions.
The rivalries at B.T. Harvey Stadium was so thick and the competition so fierce, fans might have thought teams wouldn't shake hands afterward. But the handshakes took place, as did the traditional photo featuring the teams that had just battled.
The tournament began with Howard taking on Morehouse. Hard hitting resulted in several game stoppages due to injury and a bench-clearing "almost brawl." With high energy brewed from early-season trash talk and tempers flaring throughout the contest, offensive technical prowess was at a minimum, but the physicality of lacrosse was pushed to the limit.
There were several ties until Bison captain Chris Ard ripped a bounce shot with about 90 seconds remaining to give Howard a 7-6 victory.
In the other semifinal, Morgan State jumped to an early lead against Hampton University and cruised to a 12-4 win.
Hampton beat Morehouse in the third-place game, 8-6.

Gyau poised to stop the bleeding in men's soccer
If Philip Gyau's bloodlines are any indication, Howard's men's soccer team will receive a a program-saving transfusion.
His father was a member of Ghana's 1964 Olympic team and played in NASL. Gyau has a son and daughter (Joseph and Mia) who are members of U.S. national program. Gyau himself starred at Howard in the '80s and went to earn six caps for the U.S. team and play for several pro teams before coaching with the U.S. beach team and a Bethesda youth program.
Soccer is the Gyau family business.
Who better to revive a once-proud soccer program that has almost flat-lined? The Bison finished 1-17 last season, the sixth and final losing campaign under Michael Lawrence, who was relieved of his duties in December.
Gyau arrived at Howard a decade after the Bison shocked college soccer by winning the national championship in 1971 and 1974. The NCAA stripped Howard of its 1971 title in a controversial ruling that many claim was fueled by racism, but it couldn't tarnish the feat three years later.
"Winning the championship in 1974 brought some catharsis and sense of justice," then-coach Lincoln Phillips told The New York Times last year. "We felt that our approach in developing scholar-athletes always followed the spirit of the N.C.A.A. even when we were the targets of some unfair and sometimes hostile situations. Our graduation rate was among the highest in the nation, and the players we recruited were very good and serious students."
Shortly after Gyau graduated, Howard returned to prominence again, reaching the 1988 championship and advancing to the quarterfinals in 1989. But in the 24 seasons since then, the Bison have appeared in just one NCAA tournament (1997).
Howard seeks a return to glory under Gyau and there's good reason to believe it can happen. Considering its potential to draw international players with unrivaled love and passion, Howard should be a perennial contender in soccer. And Gyau's ability to develop young players should be a draw for homegrown talent, too.
The 2014 season will represent a rebirth on two levels: The men's team is joining the Sun Belt Conference, which is sponsoring men's soccer for the first time since 1995.
"We're extremely proud to be a member of the Sun Belt Conference in the sport of men's soccer," Howard athletic director Louis "Skip" Perkins said. "This gives our soccer program the opportunity to compete in a conference tournament and ultimately a chance to play in the NCAA tournament."
Having a conference home is nice, but picking the right coach is crucial.
For a program in critical condition, Gyau appears to be a great resuscitator.

Bison Express donor wants no recognition for gift
By HOWARD MANN
Howard University athletics director Louis "Skip" Perkins was at work one day, minding his own business, when a Bison Express member stopped by. Perkins is hoping that many more visitors bring such good tidings to his office.
Shortly after the welcome interruption, $25,000 was added to the budget. Perkins, Bison Express chairman Bruce Williams and vice chairman Thomas Payne took a picture with "the check" on Feb. 1, as North Carolina Central visited Burr Gymnasium for men's and women's basketball games.
"This came from a tremendous donor who wants to remain anonymous and totally help the athletic department," Perkins said. "It's just someone who genuinely cares about the athletic program and wants to see us succeed. He knew we had some facility issues and things like that. We're very grateful."
Perkins said it marked the largest single donation from an individual during his tenure, which began in January 2011. Twenty-five grand is a lot of money, even with the acknowledgement that dollar amounts are relative.
At the Charter Day gala on March 8, the university announced a $4.9 million gift from the trust of Dr. Richard "Frank" Jones, who received his bachelor's from Howard in 1919 and his M.D. in 1922. Another seven-figure donation came from Radio One CEO Alfred C. Liggins, who gave $4 million to the School of Communications in honor of his mother, Radio One chairwoman/founder and Howard alum Cathy Hughes.
Those gifts were the lion's share of more than $10 million raised as Howard celebrated its 147th anniversary. But Perkins doesn't want folks to focus on the number of zeroes on a check.
"It doesn't matter if someone is writing a check for $250, $100 or $2,500 dollars," he said. "Every bit counts. As athletic departments, we all operate at a deficit. Only 11 schools in the country don't. We have so many different needs – from facilities and scholarships to books and equipment. It all helps and it all counts. We appreciate anyone who reaches out to help us."
The challenges facing HBCUs, in general, and Howard, in particular, have received a lot of attention over the last several months. Alumni giving – or lack thereof – comes up often in such discussions. "I Love Howard," a grassroots effort, began recently with the modest goal of raising $20,000 for the university's endowment.
Perkins said the instinct to give has to be instilled before students become alumni.
"We have to train our young people once they come to HBCUs as freshmen," he said. "They have to know we're going to need their support once they walk out these doors in four or five years. We have to educate them and help them understand how important it is.
"The best part is they can give anywhere because we need help in all areas. Whether it's an academic major, athletics, the library – there's no donation we can't accept. It can be in-kind, cash, estate, will, whatever. We just can't wait until they graduate and they're gone 10 years and ask them to write a check. We have to find ways to keep them connected and embrace them at all times."
The mysterious Bison Express donor insisted on remaining anonymous and Perkins assured him that would be the case. The gift wasn't earmarked. Perkins said it probably will go toward the athletics department's academic center and weight room, "which we'd like to have done before the end of this fiscal year."
Whatever the goal, Perkins' department was $25,000 closer after his special visitor that day.

Wilson's links to HBCUs, Black history fuel his confidence
Unlike the first African-American quarterback to win a Super Bowl, Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson didn't post eye-popping stats in his triumph.
Washington's Doug Williams threw for four touchdown and a Super Bowl-record 340 yards when he led his team past John Elway's Denver Broncos. Wilson's numbers were much more modest Sunday night – two touchdowns and 340 yards – in leading his team past Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos.
Williams is part of HBCU football royalty, a former Grambling State star who played for legendary coach Eddie Robinson. Wilson played his college ball at North Carolina State and Wisconsin.
But he has strong ties to HBCUs beneath the surface.
Wilson's grandfather Harrison B. Wilson graduated from Kentucky State, was a highly-successful basketball coach at Jackson State and later became president of Norfolk State. Russell's grandmother Dr. Lucy Wilson graduated from South Carolina State.
A great-great grandmother, Elizabeth "Bettie" Price Ayers, graduated from Wilberforce University in 1901. An aunt, April Woodard, is a professor at Hampton University.
His connection to the past wasn't lost after the game.
"It's something I think about, to be the second African-American to win the Super Bowl," he said. "That's history right there, man. It's something special and it's real."
Wilson's father died of complications from diabetes in 2010. But the belief he instilled in his son lives on, which helps explain how a 5-foot-11 quarterback can win the Super Bowl in his second NFL season.
"He always used to tap me and say, 'Russ, why not you? Why not us.'"
That's the question, indeed.
Whether we're products of HBCUs, PWCUs or no CUs…
Why not us?

Washington, D.C. Restaurants
Morton's Review
Enjoy a steak on the patio at the Downtown location of this national chain, one block from the Renaissance Mayflower, a D.C. landmark hotel. In classic steak-house tradition, the emphasis is on quantity as well as quality; the New York strip and porterhouse steaks weigh well over a pound each. Special menus for gluten- and soy-avoidant eaters are also available. But if you have an even larger appetite (or you plan to share), there's a 48-ounce porterhouse that nears a three-digit price tag, once tax and tip are included. Prime rib, lamb, veal, chicken, lobster, and grilled fish are also on the menu.

PRAGUE--Westinghouse Electric Co. has the best preliminary offer in the Czech Republic's $10 billion tender to build two new nuclear reactors, the company said Monday citing results provided by Czech 70% state-owned power company CEZ AS (BAACEZ.PR).
"We've just learned from CEZ that we're ahead in the tender and very proud to be considered" to undertake this project, said Danny Roderick, chief executive of U.S.-based Westinghouse, a unit of Japan's Toshiba Corp. (6502.TO).
The sole other bidder in the final round of the competition is Russian state-owned Rosatom.
A spokesperson for Rosatom said the company will issue a statement later in the day.
CEZ declined to comment on the preliminary ranking of bidders.
The Czech Republic is seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet the European Union's environmental goals of lowering fossil fuel usage.
The tender for new reactors aims to boost zero-emission nuclear power production to 55% of the country's total power generation by 2040 from 37% today, with comparable, gradual reductions in dirty coal-fired production.
Just over 50% of the country's power is now produced using coal and the remainder is generated mostly from hydro and solar power facilities.
The ranking of the bids is preliminary.
Mr. Roderick declined to say the price Westinghouse offered to build the reactors and refused to specify the particulars of the preliminary ranking.
However, when asked whether some elements of the Russian bid surpassed the Westinghouse bid, he said: "It's not ambiguous that Westinghouse was ranked first."
Mr. Roderick added that the "criteria are the same now as when the project was laid out at the start, and they are determined by CEZ."
The Czech government and CEZ have said that price and safety were the two primary criteria.
If Westinghouse is chosen as the final winner in September, the two reactors to be built in the Czech Republic would be the ninth and 10th of its AP1000 reactors to be built globally. Westinghouse is now building AP1000 reactors in China and the U.S.
CEZ Monday said both bidders remain in ongoing competition and that it will hold further talks with both consortia to refine and potentially improve their offers ahead of CEZ selecting a final winner in September.
The Czech company plans to sign the contract with the winner by the end of the year.
The new reactors would be built at CEZ's Temelin power plant, increasing the number of reactors there to four from two and doubling overall installed generation capacity there to roughly 4,000 megawatts.
The Temelin nuclear power plant is a unique hybrid. It was built in the 1990s according to Russian design, but the safety, control and technical equipment was provided by Westinghouse. Those two reactors were gradually phased into operation early in the previous decade.
The new generators should be connected to the grid by 2025 and if built will produce electricity for 60 years.
CEZ has said that for the project to be realized and be profitable, it needs state-approved guarantees on a minimum sale price for the electricity to be produced in the new units.
Currently, wholesale, baseload electricity prices in central Europe are at all-time lows of around EUR40 ($51) per megawatt hour.
CEZ also operates the older Dukovany plant, where it is considering building another new reactor in future.

Good lord! Here I am; on the other side of the other side of midnight and I accidentally fall into QuickWeb ~ and make an unexpected discovery in that the apparently broken touch pad works on this program. There is one or two slight hitches and now and then I am forced to correct as the curser jumps into another line in the middle of what I am writing but it is still way better than what it was like having to use the old 'mouse' to get anything done! Ths is just awesome and I could not be more delighted!Now that I have this open, and the internet link is all set, I am going to try and post this off while still on this program; a little bit of a challenge but I'm fairly confident I can make it happen. What a buzz! It was a pretty average kind of day I got a few things handled but by and large I took things easy. I didn't want to overdo it as a severe lesson learned is one that is already too late!

Additional Location Information
Battery House is located in the historic heart of old Portsmouth,Portsmouth, Hampshire on the English South Coast and overlooking The Solent water and Isle of Wight. Situated away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and harbour front, but surrounded by sea and cobbled streets. Portsmouth is one of Britain's medium sized cities, famous for being home to the British Navy and as a major ferry port steepd in maritime history. Badly damaged in WW2 the city has since recovered, rebuilty and rejuventated so that today it is rapidly becoming a leading tourist destination, helped by the new Spinnaker Tower, historic dockyard, including King Henry VIII's flagship "Mary Rose" (which sank overloaded in around 1545 in The Solent and is now on display in the Historic dockyard), as well it's glorious setting around the harbour and Solent. Being totally flat, Portsmouth is very easy to walk.
