Survey results
Pro-Geocaching conducted a survey of over 1,000 geocachers from around the world to understand what people like and dislike about the pastime, and get their thoughts on what things are missing.
To say to the least, we were surprised at the overwhelming response. Normally when you run an online survey, a 20% response rate would be considered to excellent. We had a greater than 60% response rate! So obviously people have strong feelings about the quality of geocaching.
The following pages give the questions and responses of the survey.

|Cholesterol On The Brain
|Written by Scott Lafee
|Thursday, 09 January 2014 06:38
Unhealthy levels of cholesterol have long been linked to poorer heart health, but a new study suggests the ratio of "good" cholesterol to "bad" also has implications for the brain and, more specifically, the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease.
In a study out of the University of California, Davis, researchers found that a healthy ratio correlated with lower levels of amyloid plaque deposits in the brain -- a hallmark of Alzheimer's. The pattern, note the scientists, mirrors the relationship found in cardiovascular disease.
"Our study shows that higher levels of HDL -- good -- and lower levels of LDL -- bad -- cholesterol in the bloodstream are associated with lower levels of amyloid plaque deposits in the brain," says Bruce Reed, the lead author of the study.
The findings confirm longheld suspicions and are the first to specifically link cholesterol to amyloid deposits in a study involving living participants. In the United States, cholesterol levels are measured in milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood. For HDL, a level of 60 milligrams/deciliter or higher is best. For LDL, a level of 70 milligrams/deciliter or lower is recommended for people at high risk of heart disease.
"If you have an LDL above 100 or an HDL that is less than 40, even if you're taking a statin drug, you want to make sure that you are getting those numbers into alignment," said Charles DeCarli, director of the UC Davis Alzheimer's Disease Center. "You want to get the HDL up and the LDL down."

This cruise was a blast. I sailed with a friend who had only been on one cruise 20 years ago and was hesitant to go on another cruise. Both of us really enjoyed this trip. The ship, while old is well maintained and the crew does an excellent job keeping the ship clean.
The Majesty has many lounges and a variety of activites for all passengers. The food in the dining room was adequate, and we had ordered Kosher food which the dining room staff went out of their way to make sure we received and that we were happy with the food selections. The food in the Windjammer was very good with an adequate selection of items to choose from. We ordered alot of vodka based drinks which for the most part were good, and on this trip I did not find the drinks to be so expensive compared to other cruises that I have been on in the past.
The entertainmnt was enjoyable and included a funny comedian, a juggler named Adam who was excellent, and a last night production called Boggie Wonderland which was based on disco era songs and very well done.
The Karaoke singing was fun and my friend truly enjoyed this activity. He has a Karaoke machine in his house so you can only imagine that he was in heaven when he saw Karaoke. He sang everynight but his best performance was Elton John's "Rocket Man".
In Nassau we walked over to Atlantis to see the Dig or Aquarium, and on CoCo Cay we rented a jet ski which was fun.
This is basically a good cruise to get away for a short period of time and Royal Caribbean provides a good product for the money.
I will be going on this ship and other ships in the future.

According to the Cassville Fire Department, people saw smoke coming from the roof of McDonalds around 11:00 AM Sunday morning. About 30 people inside were evacuated. Exeter, Butterfield and Monett fire crews responded to the scene.
The McDonalds was being renovated and was planning to have a grand reopening March 30th.
The Missouri State Fire Marshals office is still investigating the cause of the fire.

|Public Relations & Marketing Tips
Download the EBT Press Release here.
Spread the Word: Promoting the New Farmers Market Programs Through Your Local Media
Tools: EBT Press Release, Print Advertisements
Public relations and advertising are two basic tactics used whenever an organization is bringing a product or service to market. Public relations, or PR, isthe act of educating the media about a particular event, product or program in hopes the media will notify the public. And advertising typically involves paying media in order to reach the public. The best way to spread the word about the new Farmers Market programs is through utilizing both PR and advertising. Each NY farmers market is in the unique position of being a community-oriented entity. Therefore, the media is more apt to listen to what you have to say - and then "cover" your story or give you free advertising because it is in the interest of your community. However, there are many other community-oriented organizations vying for media coverage and what little - if any - free advertising is available.
Keep in mind that media entities have two distinct sides: the editorial side and the advertising side. You should first contact the editorial side and attempt to "pitch" the story of the new Farmers Market programs. To do this you've got to put yourself in a reporter's shoes. A reporter wants to be the first to cover breaking news - so speak their language, the language of urgency! Here is a script:
"Hello _____, thanks for taking the time to speak with me. I am the market manager for the ______ Farmers Market. I wanted to let you know about a program just launched by the New York State Farmers Market Federation that will benefit our market and community...."
You could also fax, mail or e-mail the press release and then follow up with a phone call. Be persistent! Do not just fax the press release and expect to be on the evening news. Newsrooms get hundreds of press releases a day!
Getting editorial coverage through public relations is very important; the public is often more receptive to unbiased coverage than to paid advertising. However, you may not have to pay for print advertising if you ask the advertising department if they accept PSAs (Public Service Announcements). Oftentimes theymust meet quotas for PSAs, or, if they do not have enough paid advertisers they may "donate" the space to various non-profits. If you are paying for advertising in a publication, then you should ask to speak to someone in the editorial department in regards to doing a story about the new Farmers Market programs. Typically paid advertisers are more likely to get editorial coverage no matter how unbiased the media claims to be.
Get Creative! Grass Roots Marketing
Grass roots - or guerilla - marketing involves non-traditional tactics for spreading the word about an event, program, or product. It often involves looking beyond standard media (TV, radio, print) to new methods of communication.
Bulletin Boards
Tools: Posters, tacks, and adhesive tape!
Contact other local community organizations such as religious organizations, libraries, schools, public service entities like the post office, and colleges. Ask these organizations if they would support their local Farmers Market by allowing you to put up a few posters. Or, simply go to these organizations and locate the bulletin boards yourself. Make sure to bring tacks and tape! And don't forget, many for-profit businesses have "community bulletin boards." For example, Panera Bread Company welcomes signage and advertising on their bulletin board. And many service organizations, like Scouts and 4H, may actually help to put up posters for you as part of their community service work.
Community Calendars
Tools: Press Release
Many organizations – like schools, churches, your local Chamber of Commerce and senior housing centers - have in-house newsletters and programs that contain calendars. Many websites also have online calendars where the public is allowed to post events and news items. While these are not mainstream media outlets, these sites may cover news of the new Farmers Market programs. Be prepared to send along your press release to give them more information.
Health Service and Community Organizations
When promoting the Food Stamp (EBT) program, consider community organizations that low income individuals may also be turning to for assistance. Women's health organizations such as Planned Parenthood are excellent places to ask to distribute posters and brochures as women are often the primary meal planners in families. These organizations may also be willing to print the brochures for their own clients, saving you the cost!
Posting in Online Community Forums
Tools: Internet Access
Many local community publications such as daily newspapers and alternative weekly newspapers have online forums. These forums are often organized by topic and there is always a section for "community or local news and information." All you need to do is set up an anonymous user name, and you can discreetly mention on the forum, "I noticed posters the other day saying that our community farmers market now accepts debit, credit and Food Stamp transactions – what a great idea! Has anyone used this yet?". This is called "ghost blogging", where you act as an anonymous individual commenting on a service or product. This is an excellent and powerful guerrilla marketing tool!

Item: A Study of Snow Climates in the Japan Alps
Title: A Study of Snow Climates in the Japan Alps
Proceedings: Proceedings Whistler 2008 International Snow Science Workshop September 21-27, 2008
- Shinji Ikeda [ Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University / ARGOS INC., Myoko ]
- Ryuzo Wakabayashi [ Alpine Research Institute of Avalanche, Hakubamura ]
Date: 2008-09-22
Abstract: The Japan Alps on Japan's main island of Honshu consist of 3 mountainous areas broken into the North, Central and South Alps that are located between 35°to 37°N, 136°to 140°E. It is known experientially that the amount of snow differs dramatically in these areas due to the varying influences of the winter monsoons across these mountain ranges. In this study we analyzed the meteorological data and the snow-pack data of two of these areas; the northern North Alps known for it's heavy snow fall, the Central Alps known for it's low snow fall. A distance of approximately 100 km separates these two areas. Based on the processes used by Mock and Birkeland (2000), the results of snow climate classification are as follows; northern North Alps (10 year Ave.: Coastal, 10/10 winters: Coastal), Central Alps (10 year Ave.: Continental, 6/10 winters: Continental, 4/10 winter: Coastal). The snow-pack data of the northern North Alps over 5 winters showed the characteristics of Coastal climate. On the other hand, Snow-pack characteristic of the Central Alps is similar to Continental characteristic but differs in the high predominance of wet-grain. These results show that the snow climate classification to have attention for the rainfall more than the classifications used in the North America is needed in the Japan Alps.

Offenses in the Big12 and college football in general are becoming more and more wide open, utilizing small, faster players in 'tweener' roles as well as a wide variety of blocking schemes, splits, formations, no-huddles etc.
Has the 4-3 defense become outdated?
Unless you have the right players, I think it has. Defenses today have to be able to adjust to a variety of looks with the same personnel -- especially in conferences where so many teams utilizing the no-huddle.
Mack has dones a pretty good job in getting ahead of rule changes and trends. But given the amount of spread teams that we play next year (and teams that have been very successful at it at that), I think we need to add wrinkles to a 4-3 defense to adjust.
A good starting point would be the missouri/kansas game. Mizzou's defense utilized a ton of blitzing from the weakside and dropped very athletic ends and linebackers into coverage. In many ways the versatility of the ends and LBs reminded me of New England. This to me, is the blueprint.
The potential is there for guys like Houston, Kindle, and Dravanti Johnson to play "inbetween" roles. All of these guys have the size, strength, and speed to line-up on the edge and rush or to drop back into coverage. That's basically what a 3-4 is anyways. It's all about personnel and match-ups, and Mack needs to find ways to tilt these back into our favor.

After the release of the eagerly anticipated 'Man With Soul', we sat down with Prok & Fitch to find out their top 5 house tracks with soulful vocals:
1. Todd Terry – 'Something Going On' (Ben)
Pretty much our favourite all time producer, and this is without doubt one of his finest. This was one of the records that got me into clubbing; an amazing uplifting vocal that pretty much never fails on the dancefloor. We were both gagging to do our own version of this when Todd gave us the acapella for this at WMC years ago.
2. Kraak and Smack feat Ben Westbeech – 'The Future' (James)
We we were fortunate enough to be able to remix this track after having it on in the car and on the iPod playlist due to getting it months in advance of its release. So much power yet so much soul is rare in a vocal. This has the drive to make you dance, but still that soul that makes you fist punch your chest while you shut your eyes and get your groove on to it.
3. Sono - 'Keep Control' (Ben)
Timeless vocal, that seems to get a rework every other year. Remember the first time hearing this, was at Homelands in the Space tent; the sound system was really good and out of nowhere this haunting vocal came in; the tent went crazy and was a true musical moment that I'll never forget.
4. Ron Carroll – 'Back Together' (James)
Ron's finest hour! Such a great song that's stuck in my head for many years. I remember there being a reprise of this that I used to play, just to let that vocal stand on it's own, with no beats or interference. Rarely do house vocals have this much depth to them, great record!!
5. John Cutler - 'It's Yours' (Ben)
Great record, and what a great vocal, comes from the era of some iconic records, and this really stood out. Hearing this brings back so many great partying memories, with good friends in the funky room at Pacha.
Prok & Fitch Feat Max Linen – 'Man With Soul' is out now on Beatport.

Stephen Fincher on Principles & Values
Stephen in many ways epitomizes the type of candidates Young Guns is trying to recruit. He told us: "How am I going to answer my children in the future when they ask me, 'What did you do when the country changed? Did you stand u and fight?'"
Fincher ended up fighting. After we met, he decided to run for Congress. But through hard work and the trust of his family and friends, Stephen barnstormed the district and raised a spectacular $1 million. His momentum and the changing political environment had an impact: Tanner announced he would not seek reelection! Stephen epitomizes what Young Guns is all about--and his commitment to bringing fiscal sanity, accountability, and fresh ideas is sorely needed in Congress.
The new generation of pro-market, small government leaders filled such a need that in October 2007, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard profiled Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy and christened them the "young guns."
Kevin approached Eric & Paul about the idea of traveling together, as "Young Guns", to visit Republican candidates interested in a new approach for the party.
What began as an informal way to support like-minded candidates became a more formal structure. Once the three Representatives had studied the candidate and given their support to become a Young Gun, they committed to providing financial support through their campaign committees.
Existing House Republicans were approached with a simple pitch: Are we willing to help ourselves by being proactive and going on the offense to change this House? Dozens of our House Republican colleagues joined the Young Gun effort as one of the many signs that the Republican Party had shifted.
The Tea Party movement is a populist conservative social movement in the United States that emerged in 2009 through a series of locally and nationally coordinated protests. The protests were partially in response to several Federal laws: the stimulus package; te healthcare bill; and the TARP bailouts. The name "Tea Party" refers to the Boston Tea Party of 1773, the source of the phrase, "No Taxation Without Representation."

@SportsCenter I'll be on here in 2 seasons, mark thine words – Chad Reese Safety NORTH TEXAS
— Chad Reese (@_Chad100) January 24, 2014
While I have yet to confirm this with anyone at UNT, it looks like former Wyoming safety Chad Reese is enrolling at UNT and could end up playing for the Mean Green.
Reese played at Tyler and then spent three season with the Cowboys and was a pretty productive player.
He had 104 tackles in three years. From looking at his bio, it looks like he will have to sit out a year and then have one year to play.
Reese was a three-star prospect coming out of high school.
UNT has had some luck recently with FBS transfers and has another transfer coming in this spring in former Guyer defensive lineman Dan Kottman. Kottman began his career at San Diego State.

Materials: Leather, Vibram sole
Use: short sport routes
Break-in Period: ages
Weight: heavy because of the vibram
Price Paid: 70 pounds
I found these boots fantastic for giving me that extra 'edge' on harder routes. However, they were utter agony and contorted my poor feet into the most un-natural state. Some say this is necessary for a technical boot but I was literally crying after doing a short second pitch after standing about belaying my leader from a small ledge in the blazing sun (feet swelled). So if you can stand the agony and the deformed feet they are a brilliant shoe, as for me I can't!

Chuck Todd needs to apologize for his random anti-Asian racism this morning
December 7, 2012
MSNBC's Chuck Todd, host of The Daily Rundown, went off-script and spouted some random anti-Asian racism this morning. Returning from a commercial break, Todd mistook where he was taping from, confusing Washington D.C. (where the show is normally taped) with New York City (where he is right now).
Todd then made a dismissive retort about New York City, implying that he dislikes the city. When he was questioned as to why by his guests, Todd quipped sarcastically:
Excuse me, Chuck? Did you just say on live national television that the reason you don't like being in NYC is because you're around too many Asian people?
That is seriously fucked up.
Act Now! You can contact Chuck Todd and the Daily Rundown with your displeasure over this random morning racism through Twitter at @dailyrundown, @chucktodd, and @msnbc.

Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot: "The Essential Conversation" (Random House)
Children learn best when both their parents and teachers support them together. But, according to Harvard professor Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, the parent-teacher conference is too often an awkward, mutually uncomfortable encounter. She talks about how both parents and teachers can approach this ritual in a more cooperative and effective way.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Martha Gutierrez on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
New Testament name, of Aramaic rather than Hebrew origin, meaning 'lady'. It was borne by the sister of Lazarus and Mary of Bethany (John 11:1). According to Luke 10:38, when Jesus visited the house of Mary and Martha, Mary sat at his feet, listening to him, while Martha 'was cumbered about much serving', so that she complained to Jesus, 'Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?' For this reason, the name Martha has always been associated with hard domestic work, as opposed to the contemplative life.
|104th in the U.S.
Spanish (Gutiérrez): patronymic from the medieval personal name Gutierre, from a Visigothic personal name of uncertain form and meaning, perhaps a compound of the elements gunþi 'battle' + hairus 'sword'.

FOUR Wimmera junior basketballers finished up their representative duties for Basketball Victoria Country on Monday.
Thomas Berry, Sacha McDonald, Jordie McAuliffe and Jeremiah McKenzie played on separate squads at the Southern Cross Basketball Challenge in Melbourne.
Basketball Victoria Country split its teams into two squads the Bushrangers and Goldminers for each age group.
Berry was on the boys under-15 Goldminers squad and McDonald was with the girls' under-15 Bushrangers.
McKenzie was picked for the under-14 boys Goldminers side and McAuliffe made the girls' under-14 Bushrangers squad.
While none of the four teams came away with the overall trophy in their age group, all of the Wimmera players made solid on-court contributions.
Berry's Goldminers had a successful conclusion to the tournament with a 57-37 win over their home-state rival, Bushrangers .
The win capped off a performance that saw them win two pool matches, against WA Country and South Australia Metro Blue, while losing to Vic Metro White and South Australia Country.
Berry's best performance came against WA Country when he scored five points.
Sacha McDonald was enjoying a solid run through the tournament with the Bushrangers before an ankle injury sidelined her in the third pool game.
She was taken to hospital for scans on the ankle after she landed awkwardly, but it was not broken.
McDonald said she had never played for a Victoria country team and was nervous before the tournament, but felt she played well.
"I thought I wasn't going to go so well, but I think I improved over the matches that I played," she said.
"I think my best match was the one against Vic Metro Blue before I hurt my ankle.
"They had some really tall centres and trying to get in front of them was pretty hard but I got there eventually.
"The experience was fun but it would have been better if I had been able to keep playing."
Her team went on to finish fourth after losing to Vic Metro White in the third place playoff.
McAuliffe posted the best numbers of the Wimmera players, averaging nearly seven points a game for her Bushrangers team.
The team lost its first three matches but rebounded to win the final three, with McAuliffe putting in an eight point performance in the final match against ACT.
McKenzie also played well, scoring in each of his matches.
His best game came against ACT on Sunday when he scored eight points, and he averaged just under four points per game for the tournament.

Health A-Z
Dementia - Living with dementia
Staying independent
A diagnosis of dementia will have a big impact on your life. You and your family may worry about how long you can care for yourself, especially if you live alone. People with dementia can remain independent for some time but will need support from family and friends.
Living at homeIn the early stages of dementia, many people with dementia are able to look after their homes in the same way as before their diagnosis. As the illness gets worse, people with dementia find it difficult to look after their homes and will need help with daily activities such as housework and shopping. They may also need adaptations to their home to keep themselves safe, mobile and independent.
Keeping activePeople with dementia should continue to enjoy their hobbies and interests. These activities are enjoyable and keep people alert and stimulated so they maintain an interest in life. Do not rule out an activity simply because you or your family member has dementia. Activities may change as the illness gets worse, but people with dementia can and should continue to enjoy their spare time.
Social lifeIt's easy to feel isolated and alone if you or someone you care for has dementia. But keeping in contact with other people is good for people with dementia because it helps to keep them active and stimulated.
Some people will find it difficult to talk about their own or a family member's dementia, or want to help but do not know how. If a friend or family member finds it hard to talk to you, don't lose touch. Make the first move, explain that you still need to see them and tell them how they can help you. You may also find it helpful to join a local group of people with dementia and their families.
DrivingSome people with dementia prefer to give up driving because they find it stressful but others can continue driving for some time. To continue driving, you must inform the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) that you have dementia. To protect themselves, their passengers and other road users, people with dementia must give up driving when their symptoms have become bad enough to make them unsafe drivers.

Sleeping well
Sleep is often disturbed in people with dementia, who may wake up or be restless at night. These problems may get worse as the illness progresses. People with dementia may also have painful illnesses such as arthritis that cause or contribute to sleep problems.
Some drugs can cause sleepiness during the day and interfere with sleep at night. Sleeping drugs can be used with care in people with dementia. But 'sleep hygiene' measures are best for people with dementia. These approaches include no naps during the day, regular bedtimes and no alcohol or caffeine at night.

Feeling down
If you or a family member has dementia, you may find it difficult to be positive all the time. Remember, you're not alone and that help and support is available. Talk to someone about your worries. This may be a family member or friend, a member of your local dementia support group, or your GP can refer you to a counsellor in your area.

If you work
Coping at work is a worry for people with dementia. You should speak to your employer as soon as you feel ready. You can also get advice from the disability employment advisor at your local job centre, your trade union or your local Citizens Advice Bureau. If you decide to leave work, get advice on your pension and benefits.
You could continue working or get back to work by re-arranging your workload with your employer. Your local disability employment advisor can help and advise you.

- Citizens Advice Bureau: get advice
Dementia and relationships
It's important to tell your family and friends if you have dementia so they understand what is happening. If you find this difficult, you could ask your doctor to discuss your symptoms with your family. As your symptoms worsen, your family will then understand why you may not always remember them.
Dementia does not necessarily prevent you from continuing to enjoy your relationships and previous sex life. Some couples find that they can still be close even if other abilities have declined. But dementia can increase or reduce previous sexual feelings, and you or your sexual partner may find this distressing.
If you feel able, talk to family and friends, or other people with dementia. Alternatively, your GP can help you find a counsellor or therapist who can provide professional advice.
Want to know more?
- Alzheimer's Society: relationships
- Relate
Financial support
People with dementia need to organise their financial and legal affairs while they're able to make decisions. Get professional advice on wills, pensions, how to manage any financial assets, and how to ensure that any partner and children are protected.
Someone with dementia should consider appointing a person to manage their money in case they are no longer able to do so themselves. This 'lasting power of attorney' also means the person can make decisions about health and welfare matters on your behalf.
Someone with dementia could claim a range of benefits if they meet certain conditions. These conditions will vary according to you and your family's circumstances, but people with dementia can usually claim attendance allowance or Disability Living Allowance. Carers should also check if they can claim carer's allowance. You can get advice and help in claiming benefits from your local social security office, voluntary organisations and support groups.

Care at home
A person with dementia should have a health and social care assessment from the local social services team. Following this assessment, an occupational therapist may recommend practical support, such as equipment and adaptations to your home that will help make life easier and keep you independent for as long as possible.
You may also be entitled to 'direct payments', which are local authority payments for someone who needs help and would like to buy services such as help with housework, washing and dressing, instead of receiving them from the local council.
As symptoms get worse, people with dementia and their carers may begin to find it difficult to manage at home even with regular respite care. The next step is long-term care in a residential home or a nursing home. A residential home offers help with personal care, while a nursing home provides more specialised care. Before you decide on the move to a care home, it is essential to get advice on paying for this care.

Support for carers
It's important for a carer's physical health and psychological wellbeing to be able to take a break (respite) from care. Carers may also need respite care when they themselves have to go into hospital or meet other important commitments.
Friends, relatives and neighbours can provide respite care at home. You can also arrange home respite care through homecare agencies or, in some areas, your local authority. Care away from home can confuse some people with dementia, both while they are away and when they come back. If you decide on respite care away from the person's home, it's a good idea to visit the place beforehand to check that it meets the needs of the person with dementia.

Palliative care
People with dementia often live for many years after their illness is diagnosed. End of life or palliative care supports anyone with an incurable illness to live as well as possible until their death. It also involves support for family members.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) identifies end of life as a key part of a care plan for the person with dementia. This plan should enable the person with dementia to die with dignity where they wish, and to support carers during bereavement. After their diagnosis, people with dementia may also wish to think about their own preferences for end of life care, for example, by making an advance statement of their wishes.

Newcastle United opt for a midfield with Vurnon Anita and James Perch as they attempt to stifle City with their 4-3-3 formation, with Yohan Cabaye out of action for the hosts. Papiss Cisse starts up front while Demba Ba is on the left for the Magpies, with Jonas Gutierrez completing the front three.
Manchester City stick with their 4-2-3-1 formation, with Roberto Mancini seemingly reluctant to return to his 3-5-2 experiment. Kolo Toure and Matija Nastasic are an odd choice of centre-back pairing, while Argentinian duo Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero start up front. Javi Garcia also makes a rare start alongside Yaya Toure in midfield.
Newcastle United (4-3-3): Tim Krul; Danny Simpson, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini, Davide Santon; James Perch, Cheik Tiote, Vurnon Anita; Jonas Gutierez, Papiss Cisse, Demba Ba.
Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Joe Hart; Pablo Zabaleta, Kolo Toure, Matija Nastasić, Gael Clichy; Javi García, Yaya Touré; Samir Nasri, Carlos Tévez, David Silva; Sergio Agüero.

ODU Professor Leona Tam Featured in Kiplinger's on Saving Strategies
Leona Tam, assistant professor of marketing at Old Dominion University, is featured in the April issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine discussing her research on the best way to save.
In the question-and-answer article "Best Way To Save: One Day at a Time," Tam notes that it is easier to save money when you focus on the short-term instead of thinking far ahead.
"Think short term -- in baby steps. Save paycheck to paycheck, instead of hoping for a windfall," she advises in the article.
"And don't think about that ginormous sum you need for retirement. Check your progress just once a year."
Tam's research on people's savings habits found that people who looked ahead just one month actually saved more than they estimated they would, whereas people who looked ahead for the year actually saved less than they anticipated.
Tam's research includes the habits and decision-making process in consumer behavior. She received a Ph.D. in marketing from Texas A&M University, and a master's in philosophy and bachelor's in business administration from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Prior to joining academia, Tam spent several years in marketing and marketing research with multinational consumer product companies and marketing research companies in Hong Kong.
She has published papers in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and the AMA Summer Educators' Conference.

After the severe weather outbreak yesterday, the entire region gets a drastic change today with very calm, cooler, and sunny weather. Temperatures have dropped off behind the strong frontal system that passed through. Highs today will reach the low 50s so a cooler but more seasonable day is ahead under mostly sunny sky. Winds will still be gusty at times today with a cool northwest breeze reaching gusts of around 30mph or so. Tonight will be colder with lows in the upper 20s with mostly clear sky remaining. Tomorrow will be slightly cooler in the upper 40s with more sunshine. We stick to this sunny, dry, and more seasonable forecast until Thursday when rain makes a return to finish the work week. Colder days will follow for the weekend as highs struggle to reach 40º.

Davis is out of Sunday night's game against Seattle with a concussion after getting hit along the sideline by Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor.||||||| Davis was attempting to haul in a pass deep in Seattle's end late in the first quarter Sunday night.

Big thanks goes out to Jay23 for bringing this along to a tasting at d0b's place last weekend, along with the wings and other gem-ified brews, thanks Jay! New Belgium's Bottleworks 10th Anny shows off a hazy peach body that has the tendency to glow when any light hits. A tight white head snapped to a finger in height and diminished to a skimming rather quickly leaving behind a patch of lace here and a chunk of lace there.
The nose sports all kinds of delicious bretty funkiness. Horsefunk hits off the bat, not a lot but enough to let me know it's there. Shortly after with some warming along comes the sweat socks and a deep tart peachiness that makes my mouth water uncontrollably. A candy like aroma that reminds me of the sweet and sour that is Sweet Tarts also come along at a healthy clip. Stone fruit pits glide through here and there of all varieties...Wow!
Each drink follows the hugely complex aroma step-by-step which is a feat in and of itself. A biting sourness hits right off the bat that super acidic and right up my alley. Musty, tart peaches come along quickly along with all those wonderful barnyard qualities mentioned in the aroma and a squeeze of lemon juice. The different stone fruits each play their own role but they're always evolving and changing. This is one hell of a fruity, puckering sour beer.
An active carbonation never reaches prickly but is lively enough to scrub the sour right off my tongue after each drink. The sourness is making my mouth water right now, one week later, while I write this review. The body has a light airy feel, especially when the carbonation takes hold. The finish is dry and manages to accentuate the sourness up front.
My glass was tipped nearly nonstop when filled with this delicious nectar and while it wasn't my nose was jammed in the glass. If I didn't get the little bit of heartburn I did when drinking this beauty I'd have given it a 5 for drinkability without a doubt.
I didn't expect to ever try this beer and am certainly glad I had the chance. This is one of the best American sours I've ever had, hugely complex and delicious. Thanks for sharing Jay!

Review from notes. Shared during my first epic Philly tasting on 3-26-11. Side-by-side with NB Falling Rock 10th and Twisted Spoke 15th, this was #1 of the three for me.
L - Medium caramel syrup-colored brew with a frothy head that holds for a couple minutes. Crystal clear and pristine liquid.
S - Lemon and light lemon zest, creme brulee sugar-topped dark bing cherries, sweet oak and vinous notes. Very clean and precise.
T - Soft, sweet, sour, and really pristine. Fresh brown wood, fresh-picked bing cherries, touch of lemon and pith, dialed back, perfectly restrained acetic acid, nice vinousness that really finishes it perfectly.
M - Coats the palate nicely and fully; ig enough to give the flavor a full ride yet comes off the finish effortlessly.
O - Delightful and delicious - a real treat!

Opened at TN whales tasting 3/16/2013. Thanks to CurtisMcArthur for opening this and the other later Bottleworks beers.
Pours a complex sunny amber color with hints of red/pink.
Smells super tart, cherries and other fruit, hints of ketchup and sweet malt like I get from most New Belgium sours. I am fully expecting this to be stomach shreddingly acidic.
And it is! Super sour, apple and cherry fruitiness, hints of that Flanders Red type maltiness but they're mostly covered by the pure acidity. This is awesome.
Drinkability is really pretty good considering the crazy acidity.
Up there with the most sour beers I've had, I love this. Our official geek of the tasting, Brandon, was measuring the ph of all the sours we drank and this was easily the lowest at 3.04 if I remember correctly.

Misty / cloudy maroon body, plenty of white head. Funky raspberry, cheesy, and yeasty aroma ain't no tease. Super acetic taste holds plenty of ulcer-inducing sourness, and I LOVE it! Loads of raspberry and other ripe fruits compose this complex and delicious American Wild. Ranks among my favorite domestic sours.
One of my favorites from the ~dozen sours we opened tonight.

750ml bottle shared at the Brick Store with the usual suspects.
Pours a hazy golden orange that gets cloudier with each incremental pour and sports a small thin beige head that recedes quickly to a thin collar.
The aroma is funky up front with the brett making its presence felt earlier alongside some acidic notes. There is a light tart cherry note with some oak.
Taste has an initial funky kick with a combination of brett funk and acidic tartness. There is plenty of oaky tannins in the background with some orange zest and green apples. The finish is funky but dry and leaves the tongue completely dry after each sip.
The mouthfeel is light with decent carbonation and very dry and acidic in the finish.
We drank quite a few excellent beers tonight and this was one of the best. An excellent sour from New Belgium.

Many thanks to wespatrick for pulling this out of the cellar. Reviewed from notes.
Looking out over the thin orange haze, through the ring of the lens around my eyes... funny, isn't it, how both eyes can almost make one circle around? But you can tell, of course, that it isn't one, but two. The angles are off. There are fires in the distance, and a glow over the city casting the dull orange flicker all about us, but you mustn't dwell on it. Things are lost. There is a ring around the glass and a thin sheet across the top, nothing else here to keep us warm, we escaped with our skins, for that much we can be grateful, as we hear the weeping of others in the makeshift camp that apparently weren't so lucky and are casting about in silent desperation for a sign of their son or daughter (no one should have to bury his child, much worse when they are just lost and there is never any finality...)
The aromas are of the earth around us, a certain dank quality of something very, very old and musty, and the white oaks wave their branches for joy or sorrow, you cannot tell which. White grape wafting over from the fields that have kept many of us alive for so many years, oh God I hope the flames remain in the city, at least then we can rebuild... Rusty implements from days gone by add to the old aromas, as you feel in your pocket and find a jolly rancher that escaped with you... what a pity, and anger overcomes you as you think of your belongings being engulfed in flames, your mother's photograph, the only one you had, and this damn candy sits in your pocket, taunting you by merely being itself and not something else.
You rise and force a smile to your spouse, better go down to the stream and get a drink, and try to put your wits back together. Your daughter will stay too, just bring some back. What a foolish suggestion. All you have is a candy wrapper. The green muscadines and white grapes pique your awareness that, of course, the fields are over there, there ought to be a tin or pail that will hold enough. You pop a couple while looking, of course. Intense puckering sour, obviously they are not ripe yet. You smell the remains of old barrels souring nearby and the grass as your feet crushes it between each accursed row, why could it not have been anywhere else. Anywhere, but to take all of your worldly possessions and end them in one sadistic swoop and that orange glow. It is puckering and astringent, dry like the champagne you toasted just three nights ago, and almost creamy. There it is, an oaken half-barrel pail, one of the small ones. Those cracks are sure to leak out, perhaps you can plug them with grapes and apply some sugar to their tired lips in the process. You have a long, terrible, weary and sorrowful night ahead of you. Better get back.

Pours a light layer of beige head. Color is a vibrant amber gold.
Aroma: I get some cinnamon and spice in the nose. Very oaky. Cherry tartness. Acidic with vinegar notes. Very nice.
Taste: Vanilla, cinnamon, and spice. Cherries and caramel malt. Vinegar and acidic flavors. Green apples. Kind of fruity. Mouth puckering. Oaky.
Mouthfeel: Tart and acidic. Light bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. Ends with more tartness.
Overall, this was a really nice beer. More sour and tart than the twisted spoke. Similar but it shows age. It is more rounded out and smooth. The TS is more malty and less sour than this one. A very well rounded complex sour.

Sky Sports understands West Ham star Mark Noble is set to undergo shoulder surgery which could rule him for the rest of the season.
Noble has been struggling with a trapped nerve in his shoulder and the midfielder's last appearance came in the defeat at Aston Villa last month.
West Ham were hoping rest might help the injury, but they have now decided to send the influential midfielder for an operation on his shoulder which is likely to be on Wednesday.
The operation is likely to rule Noble out for a month, meaning he faces an uphill battle to return before the end of the campaign.
The news is a major blow for West Ham boss Sam Allardyce as the likes of Kevin Nolan and Joe Cole are already on the sidelines as they look to secure their Premier League survival.

A Middle Tennessee nurse is out of the hospital, and off the job, after she became the focus of a state investigation into the treatment of an elderly patient.
Saint Thomas Hickman Hospital is a 25-bed facility, where patients come in for everything from emergencies to speech therapy to elderly care.
But one of the nurses, Michelle Gordon, is accused of hurting one.
Gordon has been licensed in Tennessee since 1999 and works in the hospital's nursing home.
Hospital officials received a complaint about alleged inappropriate activity and turned the case over to the state's adult protective services to investigate.
Gordon had no comment about the situation when contacted at her Centerville home.
As for Saint Thomas, officials won't disclose the nature of Gordon's job, how long she's been working at the facility or if she has ever been in trouble before now.
In a statement, the hospital said:
"The well being of the residents of Saint Thomas Hickman nursing home is of the utmost importance to us. We were made aware of inappropriate actions by a staff member that was inconsistent with expected behaviors of a Saint Thomas Hickman associate and that associate is no longer with the organization."
As for whether other patients or families should be concerned, a hospital spokesperson said they believe this was an isolated incident and they don't expect any one else to come forward.

LAS VEGAS - Student loan debt often means delayed dreams for many college graduates. 8 on Your Side found a program that could forgive your student loan debt, if you qualify.
In Nevada, the average student loan debt is more than $19,000. For many graduates, that much debt can become a financial hardship. A little-known program could make that debt disappear, however.
It's called the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. The program is available to college graduates who work for a non-profit organization or who work in the public sector.
Learn More About the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program
In order to qualify, borrowers must make on-time payments on their federal student loans for at least 10 years, make those payments under a qualifying repayment plan and must be working full-time at a qualifying public service organization. Only payments made after October 1, 2007 qualify.
If you have a problem you want investigated, contact 8 on Your Side at 702-650-1907.

Three UK has made an early announcement regarding the price it'll charge for 4G LTE connections later on this year, and the news is sure to please customers and worry the competition. Instead of creating a new set of premium tariffs, Three will add 4G LTE connectivity to its existing plans at no extra charge.
The company's CEO said in a press release: "We have listened to our customers and thought long and hard about the right way to do it.
"We don't want to limit [fast data] to a select few based on a premium price and we've decided our customers will get this service as standard."
If you want a 4G connection in the UK at the moment, the only choice is to get one through EE, which refarmed its extensive 1800MHz spectrum late last year, but has been criticised for its high prices and an absence of an unlimited data option. Three provides unlimited packages which will remain competitive if the price isn't hiked as promised. Like EE, Three will use the 1800MHz spectrum which it purchased from EE after the merger of Orange and T-Mobile to form Everything Everywhere.
Of course, to take advantage of 4G data speeds, you'll need a 4G enabled phone, but as Three notes, the iPhone 5, Sony Xperia Z and Nokia Lumia 920 are all compatible with its 4G network, and it will be launching the Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy Note II and the BlackBerry Z10 in the next month or so. All these phones will receive Three's 4G signal when it goes online.
When will this be? Three is working on increasing its 3G network at the moment, which it expects to cover 80% of the population by March. 4G will be added in "the second half of the year," so sometime after summer. There's no mention of coverage expectations.
EE still has the monopoly on 4G in the UK, but Three's decision is likely to see it reconsider its pricing strategy soon.

Zelboraf Skin Cancer Lawsuit
Research shows the anticancer drug vemurafenib—sold under the brand name Zelboraf—might cause secondary skin cancers. The Rottenstein Law Group, a Zelboraf law firm, compassionately advocates for those who have suffered Zelboraf side effects. If you've taken Zelboraf and believe it harmed you, contact RLG for a free, confidential legal consultation immediately. We will evaluate your case and remain on the lookout for Zelboraf recalls and Zelboraf class action lawsuits.
What Is Zelboraf and What Is It Prescribed For?
Zelboraf is the brand name for the drug vemurafenib. Made and sold by Swiss pharmaceutical giant, Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., this prescription medication is used to treat metastatic melanoma. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Zelboraf on August 17, 2011. It comes in 240 mg film-coated tablets.
Zelboraf is designed to treat the most aggressive form of skin cancer, BRAF V600E mutation positive unrestrictable or metastatic melanoma. People who have a mutated BRAF gene, BRAF V600E, risk increased production of a certain chemical called BRAF serinetheonine kinase, which can cause cancer cells to grow and spread rapidly. Zelboraf inhibits the production of this chemical, halting the spread of melanoma.
Zelboraf Might Cause Cancer Side Effects
According to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, Zelboraf might cause the following side effect:
- Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cuSCC)

RLG's Zelboraf Lawyers Will Make Things Easier
The process of demanding compensation for the harm you've suffered can be complicated, even if it doesn't seem fair that you should have to go through even more trouble to be made whole again. The Zelboraf lawyers at the Rottenstein Law Group believe that obtaining legal satisfaction from those who harmed you shouldn't require more hardship. That's why we do everything we can to streamline the process, and we will file a Zelboraf lawsuit on your behalf if necessary. RLG will also keep you up to date on any Zelboraf class action lawsuits, FDA Zelboraf warnings, and Zelboraf FDA recall announcements.

Francisco, or in some other neighborhood within the city and county
of San Francisco, click on the link to the San Francisco MLS, above.
To search for homes for sale in some OTHER San Francisco bay area
county, scroll down to the yellow box at the bottom of the page and

The Marina district is bordered by the San Francisco Bay to the
north, Russian Hill to the east, Cow Hollow to the south, and the
Presidio to the west. It doesn't get much better than that. But, be
prepared to shake, rattle and roll in an earthquake -- the Marina is
largely built on landfill... at the time of the great earthquake
(and subsequent fires) of 1906, the Marina was underwater.
Considering the amount of damage that occured in the 1989 Loma
Prieta quake, which was essentially 1/30th the strength of the 1906
quake, one shudders to think what might have occured if the Marina
District had been built up way back in 1906... the sandy landfill is
subject to "liquefaction" during a quake -- in other words, it takes
on the consistency of a bowl of Jello... not the best of foundations
upon which to build! Ironically, some of the landfill that was used
to build the Marina district was much of the debris from the 1906
earthquake -- talk about recycling! But even we must admit that the
Marina District of San Francisco is easily one of the prettiest
neighborhoods in all of the city, with so much to offer that one
just can't help but love it... The Marina District was man-made,
created in 1915 from landfill for the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition
(also from which the Palace of Fine Arts is one of the few remaining
buildings). During construction for the fair, 635 acres of marshland
were filled with sand and a seawall was built along the shoreline.
Once the expo was over, most of the temporary buildings were
removed, and then the real estate developers and builders and
speculators stepped in. Through the 1920's, streets were laid out,
and the homes were built. The dredging of the bay (for landfill
sand) created enough deep water to build a yacht harbor. Baron &

San Francisco real estate needs, call Baron & Chestney Real Estate, today!
Easily one of the nicest neighborhoods in San Francisco, the Marina district of San Francisco is roughly bordered by the San Francisco bay to the north, Van Ness to the east, Lyon to the west, and Lombard Street to the south. The Marina neighborhood of San Francisco is officially designated as neighborhood 7a by the San Francisco Association of Realtors, as it is part of District 7 (North), Subdistrict A. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a catch to this excellent location -- much of the Marina District is built on landfill, and as a result, the area was hit hard in the 1989 earthquake, suffering extensive damage. The shops and restaurants, as well as the amazing views and some of San Francisco's finest homes along Marina Blvd., though, still make the region extremely popular among tourists and locals alike. Baron & Chestney Real Estate has full service discount realtors who will sell your Marina district San Francisco home for a TOTAL realtor commission of only 2% to 4%.

Sigmar Polke, left, seal off the doors and do not enter the room. Right, using such laughably simple little words like 'always' or 'never' of 'unfortunately' or 'aw'!
Music from an Unknown Source
Dates: Thursday 3 May – Saturday 16 June
Opening: Wednesday 2 May, 6-8pm
Artist: Sigmar Polke
An exhibition of 40 gouaches by German artist, Sigmar Polke.
A public lecture on the exhibition will be presented on
Wednesday 16 May, 1:00-2:00pm
in the SCA Lecture Theatre
Sydney College of the Arts
Balmain Road, Rozelle (enter campus opposite Cecily Street)
All are welcome
For more details please contact Kate Major on 9351 1008
Music from an Unknown Source brings together a series of 40 gouaches, all produced in the year 1996. Since the early 1960s, Polke has been concerned with the relationship of the reality as contained in a picture and reality itself, the relation between art and daily life. He often takes an ironic position, distancing himself from the actual content and allowing him to concentrate on the form and the material of painting itself.
The exhibition will be opened by Mr Tony Bond, OAM
Director Curatorial, Head Curator International Art
Art Gallery of NSW

Women Fall Short Against Mountaineers
News Release Date:
Saturday, November 28
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Eastern Oregon broke open a close game and held off Whitman College over the final eight minutes for a 62-53 non-conference women's basketball victory Saturday afternoon at the Lady Yote Classic on the College of Idaho campus.
Whitman, which twice held one-point leads early in the second half, saw its early season record tumble to 1-3. The NAIA-affiliated Mountaineers upped their record to 5-3.
|Hilary White
Senior Hilary White, who canned three 3-pointers, led Whitman with 14 points, four rebounds, three rebounds and two assists. Junior Anna Forge added 10 points, six rebounds and four assists.
The Missionaries also got six points and six boards from first-year guard Kelly Peterson, six points and five rebounds from senior Michelle Krall, and six points from Emilie Gilbert, another first-year guard. Krall, a four-year starter, played 16 minutes off the bench as she comes back from injury.
|Anna Forge
Two jumpers by Krall followed by a Gilbert 3-pointer had Whitman in front 19-15 with 5:25 left in the first half. The Mountaineers scored seven unanswered points and finished the half with a 25-22 lead when Alyssa Garro nailed a three with eight seconds left.
White's 3-pointer at the 16:49 mark of the second half gave the Missionaries a 30-29 lead. Two minutes later, a jumper by junior guard Jenele Peterson produced Whitman's final lead of the night at 35-34.
Following a basket by Eastern Oregon's Tana Stickney, who collected 25 points and nine rebounds, Forge converted a free throw to even the game at 36-36 with 14 minutes left on the clock.
Kelly Peterson's layin with eight minutes remaining brought Whitman to within three points at 46-43. But Eastern Oregon pulled away on a 11-3 run over the next five minutes to extend its lead to 57-46.
After White responded with another 3-pointer for Whitman with 2:52 left, the Mountainers got a bucket from Salena Leavitt to return its cushion to double digits. Whitman was unable to mount a serious challenge over the final two minutes.
The Missionaries forced Eastern Oregon into 22 turnovers but made just eight of 16 free throws and fell short 40-32 on the backboards.
Whitman continues non-conference play next weekend with a pair of games against NCAA Division III schoolsin California. The Missionaries play at Pomona-Pitzer on Friday and at La Verne on Saturday.

A follow-up note from overseas thanking BoC for our involvement with an academic survey about the NHL lockout:
Dear Earl,
How are you?
Back in October, we conducted a study among NHL fans, in which we asked some weird questions about people's attitudes toward the lockout and the disputing sides. Thanks a lot for helping us reach fans by posting a link to the study on the blog! It was extremely helpful. Participation was very good - we got a total of around 800 responses, and passionate ones at that. A few select comments we got at the end of the surveys (some are paraphrased):
Many respondents were interested to know what we were testing in these surveys. The subject of our study was the practice of negotiating parties to use representatives to bargain on their behalf. We wanted to see whether people view a negotiation between representatives differently from how they view a negotiation between the interested groups themselves. The CBA negotiation was an almost perfect case study for this, since both sides were mostly negotiating indirectly through people from the outside, in the sense that Bettman is not an NHL owner (the Phoenix situation aside) and Fehr is not a player.
- We fans are suckers, and Bettman knows that. We are faithful and like a battered spouse we will come back.
- Greedy players and greedy owners. A pox on both of their houses!
- They should treat the negotiation as like a tie and have a shootout. Take one negotiator/owner/player out and shoot them until such time as the remaining agree to a CBA.
- Let the NHL know that I am mad as hell and will not take this anymore.
- If you get a chance to talk to Gary Bettman please tell him he is a bum. Please ask him to step down on behalf of the fans. Oh, I forgot he gives a s*** about us out here, the ones who are putting the money in these greedy bastards pockets.
- If this is the NHL conducting this survey, F*** YOU.
We conducted two surveys, the one you posted on BoC and another one, which we ran in December. Each survey had two versions, one asking about the process from the perspectives of the NHL owners and players and one taking the perspectives of Gary Bettman and Don Fehr. The results of the first survey indicated that people viewed Bettman and Fehr as tougher to negotiate with (i.e., less cooperative, more likely to take advantage of the other side, less committed to reaching a mutually beneficial solution, etc.) than their constituent groups. Consequently, people were less optimistic about a quick resolution of the dispute when thinking about those two than when imagining the players and owners negotiating. Basically, they viewed Bettman and Fehr as professional jerks whose job is to get the best deal for the people who hired them, while increasing the risk of not reaching an agreement at all.
In the second survey we wanted to tap people's intuitions regarding the sides' social values in the negotiation. In other words, do people see the NHL and NHLPA as more competitive or selfish, or, alternatively, more cooperative or altruistic when negotiating through representatives. Unfortunately, we didn't find any meaningful differences there.
Anyway, thanks a lot for helping us out, and thanks to the readers who participated in our surveys. The most important thing is that hockey is back, and we don't have to hear about things like HRR anymore. If anyone wants to get in touch with us, here are our contact details:

I stopped watching a CU game early for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE today. I watched 70-3 till the final gun. Not today. What a disgraceful, disgusting performance. NU lost, KU and MU are probably going to lose. We could of stepped right into the drivers seat in the Big 12 North race yet we come out and play worse than I have ever seen any team play in my life. I don't want to bash on KSU, they played without a huge number of mistakes and definitely deserved to win, but they STINK! Are you telling me they have more talent than we do? Our defense did enough for us to get the victory but the special teams, penalties, and coaching SUCKED! I could go on for about a 1000 words about the coaching but it's all been said here before. It's all par for the course for this staff. We can't beat ANYBODY on the road! ANYBODY! What the HELL was with putting Cody in the game? What is that psychopath Hawkins thinking? Cody comes in and throws 23 passes in about 5 minutes and you guys tell me, how many accurate passes did he actually throw? 3? How many times did he throw into double coverage? 15? What a scumbag liar Dan is. I hope he sleeps well with his decisions tonight.
Ya know, we'll probably come out and get one more "big win" this year behind a fired-up crowd against NU or MU and it'll save his job, but that's BULLSHIT! He has proven what a fraud he is already, I don't care if we win every game the rest of the year, we need to clean house. I already let Bohn know how I feel about this game (2nd time this year, this time much angrier) and I hope you all do the same (email@example.com). Just like this was the worst game I have ever watched in my life, this is probably the most rambling and worst post I have ever written here, I'm just so mad, I needed to say something. I hope you all are too. We can't just be apathetic at this point.

VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) - Bria Smith scored 16 points and Sara Hammond finished a rebound shy of a third straight double-double as No. 12 Louisville held off Villanova 55-49 Sunday.
Hammond had 10 points and nine rebounds, as did teammate Antonita Slaughter. Smith added seven boards, six steals and four assists for the Cardinals (22-6, 10-4 Big East), who bounced back from a 73-62 loss against South Florida.
Laura Sweeney paced the Wildcats (18-8, 7-6) with 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting. Villanova shot 37.3 percent (19 of 51) from the floor and hit 5 of 15 from 3-point range.
Louisville hit 11 of 17 foul shots to the Wildcats' 6-of-12 showing, and outrebounded Villanova 42-31.
Villanova led 42-40 before Slaughter hit a go-ahead 3 with 6:15 left, sparking a 7-1 Cardinals' run. After a Sweeney layup, Louisville's Sheronne Vails hit a jumper and Slaughter two free throws to lead 51-45.
