Howdy! My name is Alyssa Joy Adams. I am earning my Master's in Maritime Administration and Logistics. I graduated from TAMUG in May of 2014 with a degree in Ocean and Coastal Resources and minors in Maritime Administration and Economics. I worked in the P.E. Facility on campus for several years through my undergraduate career and I am excited to be here in the library during my graduate work.
During my free time I enjoy yoga and Crossfit. I also like to play on the beach when time permits. On a Saturday night I am likely snuggled up with my cats watching Netflix. I am a bubbly and ambitious person and look forward to working with you for your writing needs!! =)
Howdy! I am a Junior Marine Biology major, with an accompanying minor in English. Born and raised in the Amarillo area, I decided to attend the university that was the farthest away from home as possible. In the future, I hope to become a sophisticated Biology professor and participate in research focusing on marine invertebrates. When I am not focused on my school work, I enjoy watching British television and reading classic literature. On occasion I leave my dorm room to retrieve frozen yogurt, Chick Fil A, or pomegranate vanilla tea. In addition to my academic adventures, I am incredibly passionate about scuba diving and the underwater world in general.
I am excited to begin my work here in the Writing Lab this semester! I am generally a friendly person, so do not hesitate to come by or say hey. Appropriate topics of conversation, besides your paper, include how fabulous Mini Coopers are, any literature not written by Hermann Melville, the fashion exploits of Lady Gaga, BBC's Sherlock, and Texas A&M football.
Howdy Ags, my name is Matthew Stephens, and I'm a Dallas-born third year MARB major here at TAMUG. I enjoy the finer things in life, like cheeses, laying bed until 5 minutes before class starts, Guitar Hero, and pretending I know how to dance, so chances are good we have something in common. My hobbies include, but aren't limited to: guitar, longboarding, sarcasm, food, listening to music you haven't heard and pretending its cool, and sleep. I'm ambitious, and try to punch life's obstacles in the face, but do my best to chill out about spilt milk. Friendliness is a large part of me, and I've seen The Breakfast Club, so don't worry, I'll say hi to you in the hallway.
If you want me to help you, come on in, I'm sure I can whip something up. If you want me to help you, tote some chocolate milk along. That's what I'm all about-bout. I'm ready to work with you, and I'm here to help with whatever I can. Yuh.

T-Mobile Adds 1.1 Million New Customers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- T-Mobile's (TMUS) new "Un-carrier" service pricing strategy appears to be working. The company reported second-quarter results that showed increases in both new subscribers and revenue.
The No. 4 U.S. cellular carrier said it attracted 1.1 million new customers including 685,000 contract subscribers in the second quarter. That's an improvement of 1.3 million net additions from the year-earlier second quarter; T-Mobile lost 557,000 customers in the same quarter last year.
T-Mobile said it was able to keep "postpaid churn" (customers not renewing contracts) to its lowest level ever at only 1.58%. It also benefited from the additional pre-paid customers gained with the completion of the MetroPCS merger.
The carrier reported second-quarter revenue of $6.23 billion, up from $4.9 billion one year ago and beating Wall Street expectations of $6.01 billion. With its change to lower cost monthly plans, T-Mobile wound-up posting a loss of $16 million compared to last year's second-quarter profit of $207 million.T-Mobile shares were down 0.21% to $24.91 in early trading Thursday. For the full year of 2013, T-Mobile is projecting adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma combined basis, including MetroPCS results for the full year, to be in the range of $5.2 to $5.4 billion. Back in March, T-Mobile announced its "Simple Choice" rate plan separating monthly service charges from the actual cost of purchasing handsets. In the past quarter, the carrier sold a 4.3 million new smartphones which account for 86% of its total cell phone sales. That's up from 71% in the previous quarter. A big part of the smartphone sales boost comes from the addition of Apple (AAPL) phone models. T-Mobile reported the iPhone accounted for 29% of its total handset sales. The new Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android phone was also added during the quarter. T-Mobile's LTE services continue its roll-out across the country with the company reporting its high-speed 4G footprint now includes 116 metro areas and covers more than 150 million people. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ding-dong, DOMA is dead! Let there be much rejoicing.
As we break out the champagne and cupcakes, though, it's important to recognize how overturning the federal "one man-one woman" definition of marriage is not the end point for making America a more equal union.
Welcome to the latest installment of Ms. Opinionated, in which readers have questions about the pesky day-to-day choices we all face, and I give advice about how to make ones that (hopefully) best reflect our shared commitment to feminist values—as well as advice on what to do when they don't.
Dear Ms. Opinionated,
I am an outspoken feminist, my best friend from high school is decidedly not. Like, as in "living with her ultra-conservative, religious family until she marries because a young woman shouldn't be on her own not a feminist."
Welcome to the latest installment of Ms. Opinionated, in which readers have questions about the pesky day-to-day choices we all face, and I give advice about how to make ones that (hopefully) best reflect our shared commitment to feminist values—as well as advice on what to do when they don't.
I'd be interested to read a column about wedding etiquette, because it's ludicrous what couples expect their friends to shell out.
Last week, attorney Charles Cooper argued before the Supreme Court that the justices should deny the right for same-sex couples to get married because marriage has traditionally been about procreation. Time for a history lesson, Charles.
Far from being a union of one man and one woman, marriage, for most of human history, has been the union of two men: the husband and father-in-law's wealth and property. Marriage was a business arrangement in which love was highly incidental. Forget kids or compatibility, the only thing guaranteed going in was a well-negotiated contract.
Happy almost-the-weekend, everybody! Here's what's been blowing up the Interwebs.
• At the Guardian's Comment is Free, Jill Filipovic wrote about straight women who change their names upon marriage, asking, modest-proposal–like, that men be expected to do the same. Twitter freaked out. [The Guardian]
• An anonymous mother wrote about outsourcing the diaper-changing of her youngest child to her older children. Mommyish readers freaked out. [Mommyish]
• The first video in Anita Sarkeesian's now-notorious Kickstarter-funded "Tropes Vs. Women: Video Games" series is up at Sarkeesian's site, Feminist Frequency. Zillions of trolls are freaking out right this very minute. [Feminist Frequency]
• Jezebel offered its own special take on the time-honored journalistic tradition known as False Feminist Death Syndrome, asking whether feminism is "nearing her expiration date." Let's not freak out, because seriously? Oldest trick in the book. [Jezebel]
• Forest Whitaker was recently frisked and accused of shoplifting at a New York City delicatessen. Are you surprised by this blatantly racist treatment of an Oscar-winning actor? Perhaps you shouldn't be, says Ta-Nehisi Coates. [New York Times]
• Happy International Women's Day! At PolicyMic, Roxanne Kristalli writes about the crucial need to look deeply at gender—not simply "women" and "men"—in global advocacy work. [PolicyMic]
• At the Root, Nsenga K. Burton writes about the disturbing uptick in public policing of women's clothing, whether on the red carpet or on the streets of their home cities. [The Root]
• And speaking of clothes, fashion legend Vivienne Westwood is not feeling Michelle Obama's fashion choices. Bold talk from a woman who made her name with studded dog collars and unwalk-inable platforms. Your move, FLOTUS. [New York Times]
• Finally, Joss Whedon has adapted Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, and everyone seems psyched about it. [AtlanticWire]
Have a great weekend, all! And be sure to note anything we missed in the comments.

First up: What do you do with a boyfriend who pooh-poohs your commitment to feminism because "men and women are totally equal now"?
We spend a lot of time in the handful of decades that we exist in this world being told things and telling things. But there are comparitively very few moments when we allow our pretenses to drop and we come together to share something honest, and complex, and for many of us a little (or a lot) scary. That's a transformative thing.

Two Moods for Clarinet & Marimba composed by Bruce Roberts. Chamber Ensemble. For Bb Clarinet & Marimba (B-flat clarinet, marimba (4.3-octave)). Medium easy. Playing score. Duration 4:15. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.01490).
This piece for B-flat clarinet and marimba features a constant blending and interaction between the two instruments. The two movements/moods imitate characteristic forms and rhythms of Baroque dances while incorporating modal harmonies of the 19th and 20th centuries. At times, this unique combination appears jazz-like and should be exploited to its fullest potential.

Dennis Erickson worries more about where his team is ranked in January, not September — and the Arizona State football coach has two national championships to validate that philosophy.
Morgan: Character smooths out the rough spots
As a result, Erickson is not overly excited that ASU moved into the Top 25 in both major rankings a day after its 44-32 victory against Oregon State. The Sun Devils (4-0) are No. 23 in the Associated Press poll; No. 25 (tied with Purdue) in the USA Today (coaches) rankings.
"It's nice to be recognized," Erickson said. "Any time you see your name in there, that's good, but it's not that big of a deal."
The polls are long-familiar territory for Erickson's teams; he has taken four of them — Washington State, Miami (Fla.), Oregon State and ASU — into the Top 25. The only coach to have more is Lou Holtz, with five (North Carolina State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame and South Carolina).
It is ASU's first AP ranking since Sept. 17. 2006, when it was 3-0 and No. 22 after a 21-3 win at Colorado. The Sun Devils were drilled at California the following week and fell out of the poll.
Also, Erickson is the first ASU coach to have his team in the AP rankings in his first season in Tempe, according to research by the school's athletic media relations office.
Darryl Rogers, John Cooper, Bruce Snyder and Dirk Koetter had teams ranked in their second year; Larry Marmie and — believe it or not — Frank Kush needed a third season for their squads to be represented in the poll.
"We were never ranked under (Dan) Devine, from what I can tell," media relations director Doug Tammaro wrote in an e-mail to reporters. "But (that was) when the AP poll hardly had any western teams."
The Sun Devils have an opportunity to climb the rankings, with winnable games against Stanford and Washington State the next two weekends. An improved Washington club could provide a test on Oct. 13, and then — after an open weekend — sixth-ranked California visits Sun Devil Stadium.
"The struggles that we had last year served as a lesson for us," receiver Michael Jones said. "We're a different team. This season, we stepped it up and had a plan. We had to get the respect of everyone in the Pac-10."
Storming back from a 19-point first-half deficit against Oregon State — one of the league's better teams — has built ASU's confidence. A win in the state of California, where the Sun Devils have not won a Pac-10 game since 1999, would raise spirits even more.
This week's contest at Stanford is ASU's first on the road under Erickson, who said that he has no special preparations planned for playing away from Sun Devil Stadium.
"You have to treat it as a business trip, not a vacation," Erickson said. "We have to go in with purpose. We are playing a football game, nothing else. It's important we focus on that. …
"Besides, these guys have been at Camp Tontozona. Going on the road should be easy compared to camp."
Grading out
• Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson said that his offensive and defensive lines were at opposite ends of the performance spectrum during the Sun Devils' 44-32 win against Oregon State on Saturday.
He had praise for the defensive front, but said that a veteran offensive line — which gave up four sacks and was bailed out many times by quarterback Rudy Carpenter's scrambling ability — continues to underperform.
"Our offensive front did not play like we are capable of," Erickson said. "We did not protect the passer well. (Oregon State) did some things to us to get some pressure on, but we have to play better than that up front to win."
On defense, Erickson said that the pass rush is a concern, but indicated that ASU did not blitz much more on Saturday than during the first three games of the season. He said that "we will have to add some things defensively" to pressure the quarterback with regularity.
• Safety Josh Barrett, who lost his starting job to Jeremy Payton due in part to a pectoral muscle injury, had his best game of the season, Erickson said. The senior played some snaps at safety but made his most notable plays on special teams.
"Josh is still a great leader on this team, even though he isn't playing as much he did before," Erickson said.
• The 48-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Torain — where the running back raced from the backfield up the middle, isolated against an overmatched linebacker — was put in the playbook last week.
"It was something we picked up," Erickson said. "People are running it against that coverage. We picked a perfect time to throw it, against the exact defense for that play. The safeties had to play the corner route, so there was no one to cover Torain, other than the linebacker."
Injury report
• Erickson had nothing new to report on the status of tight end Brent Miller (knee) and outside linebacker Robert James (hamstring), who were hurt during Saturday's game.
• Starting defensive tackle Michael Marquardt, who sat out on Saturday with an ankle sprain, is questionable for this week.
• Reserve DT Saia Falahola, who has been sidelined since injuring his triceps muscle at Camp Tontozona, will practice this week but likely not play, Erickson said.
• Safety Troy Nolan has four interceptions on the season, the most at ASU since Emmanuel Franklin had four in 2004. His average of one interception per game ties him for second in the nation.
• ASU is one of 23 unbeaten bowl subdivision squads, and four first-year coaches have teams with perfect records: Erickson, Mark Dantonio of Michigan State, Jeff Jagodzinski of Boston College and Brian Kelly of Cincinnati are all 4-0.
• The Sun Devils have outscored their opponents 49-7 during the last five minutes of the second quarter and the first five minutes of the third period.
• ASU should learn the kickoff time of its Oct. 6 game at Washington State today; a 12:30 p.m. telecast on FSN Arizona is likely. There are four games involving Pac-10 teams that day, and Arizona at Oregon State is the only other candidate for the 12:30 slot.
Looking ahead
• The Sun Devils go on the road for the first time this season when they play at Stanford at 7 p.m. on Saturday. ASU has not won at Stanford since 1997, for good reason — it has not been victorious in any Pac-10 game in the state of California since beating USC in Los Angeles in 1999.
The Cardinal have displayed pluck under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh, making Oregon work for a win on Saturday. Quarterback T.C. Ostrander and running back Anthony Kimble lead a productive offense, but the defense ranks 100th in the nation overall, 11th against the pass.

Asia Triennial Manchester shows innovative work that represents contemporary visual art from Asia: a festival of visual culture that not only celebrates Manchester's diverse communities but also explores cultural, artistic and political debates of the 21st century.

Our positive reward and praise based obedience instruction uses motivational dog training techniques which promotes positive and humane training, interaction, and education for both pet and parent. Individual attention is a priority to ensure proper technique.
The gentle groomers at Dawg Gone Good gussy up canines large and small. Breeds of all sizes can prance into the studio for a cleansing wet or dry or groom. Both services include a nail and hair trim, teeth and mane brush, and an ear cleaning to ensures dogs no longer feign deafness to ignore commands to take out the trash. The wet groom entails a traditional shampoo, whereas the dry groom, available for dogs over 30 pounds, includes a waterless shampoo and leave-in conditioner treatment to moisturize fur coats in preparation for the impending cold, dry winter weather.
Animal Humane New Mexico envisions a society in which every animal is treated with compassion and respect. The shelter takes in cats and dogs from other New Mexico shelters and creates a loving, safe environment for them as they await adoption. Along with adoption services, Animal Humane New Mexico has a wide range of programs to help improve the lives of cats and dogs in New Mexico. This includes humane education for youth and adults, an off-site adoption program for adult cats, and a state-wide database to help people find spay/neuter clinics in their area, to name a few. Animal Humane New Mexico also teaches private and group behavior training classes run by experienced behavior specialists. Along with staff members, more than 400 volunteers play a huge role in caring for animals at the shelter, from walking and playing with dogs to providing fresh water and clean bedding throughout the day.

Before the first service, a free consultation lets caregivers get acquainted with pets and their daily routines. During a 30-minute home visit, an expert pet sitter feeds, brushes, and plays with or walks up to two animals, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, exotic birds, or feral roommates ($19). For out-of-town owners, sitters also take in the mail, water plants, and perform a home security check, while an overnight service pairs comprehensive care with a sleepover ($60). A pet shuttle chauffeurs critters to vet appointments, doggy daycare, or red-carpet events ($15 one way, $25 round trip).
ABQ Dogtown furnishes fully equipped space for clients to give their four-legged friends a thorough scrub-down. A practical way to bond with slobber buddies, regular grooming sessions at a self-service dog wash spares owners the messy bathroom that makes them wish they'd gotten a different pet, such as a self-cleaning cat or oven. Spacious tubs give bathees room to wiggle as DIY shampoo, conditioner, brushes, and perfume treatments transform muddy mutts into a prize pooches. ABQ Dogtown rents wash stations by the half-hour based on the animal's size, stocking all the necessary grooming supplies except for clippers and scissors ($10–$20), and clips claws with professional nail trimming by members of its staff ($10). Post-bath, owners can find numerous ways to spoil spick-and-span schnauzers in the pet-consignment boutique, an emporium of discounted beds, crates, and accessories such as leashes, collars, pointer pinafores, and boxer boxers.

Has anyone installed Ubuntu Studio on an HP DV9000 laptop?
I just installed Ubuntu on my HP DV9030us laptop and it's gone really well. There was a DV9000 thread on another forum which gave me the courage to install Ubuntu on my new laptop. I've got it in a dual-boot with XP.
I'm curious as to whether anyone has installed Ubuntu Studio on an HP DV9000 series laptop. I'm a professional musician and I'd love to see dow the digital audio applications run in Linux.
Of course, I can install them from Ubuntu and it probably would be best not to fool with this configuration.
Does one gain anything in terms of "functionability out of the box" when installing Ubuntu Studio? Or is it the same as downloading from scratch?
Thanks, Frank
Ubuntu Studio comes with different kernels than Ubuntu Feisty, so it's possible that they don't work on your notebook. If you want to go sure, you could buy a second 2.5" HDD for testing purposes, or you install the desired software on your existing (working) Ubuntu desktop (you won't lose any functionality then, it's as if you had Ubuntu Studio installed, only with a different look).
I thought I'd report that U-Studio does install on the HP dv9030us laptop pretty well. I am maybe having issues with the default screen resolutions, but everything else so far works just as well as Ubuntu did on this laptop.
My wireless configures like a snap, just as with Ubuntu.
I hope this helps someone. I am going to post about the resolution problem, so keep an eye out for that as well. Thanks, Frank

I worked at Walgreens part-time (more than 3 years)
All technicians have to be certified so you are not working with people who don't know there jobs. Workflow keeps everyone in place allowing the shift to run smoothly.Great benefits, can buy shares in the co, in-store discounts and online. Great pharmacists.
Shifts are constantly cut. Managers don't stay long because of the workload placed on them. Customers are horrid to the staff, and then are given gifts cards for their hissy fits. Need to higher more technicians for the number of prescriptions. Pharmacy constantly swamped. Be ready to deal with rude doctors and outsourced insurance agents who don't have a clue.
Stop cutting shifts and add more technicians so the ones you have are not pulling their hair out. Without the extra help lots of mistakes are made making the company look incompetent.

Good morning Scotland.
Up and down the country enjoyed a warm day of sunshine yesterday and we're hoping today will be more of the same. We've got an action-packed paper this morning, headlined by the long-awaited justice for murdered Elaine Doyle's family as they saw her killer brought sentenced for his crime. We've got the latest from Brazil, more pictures than you can shake a Queens baton at and a supermarket pulling the plug on EN-GER-LAND world cup tunes as Scots shoppers finally give up the will to live.. or in this case, shop. So sit back, get the kettle on, and enjoy the news winging its way to you for a change.
Good morning sharks and jets.
It's a good day to be a Record reader. Front and centre today, we have the news that the family of Elaine Doyle - the schoolgirl found strangled 28 years ago - has finally found justice after a guilty verdict was read out for evil ex-soldier Jon Docherty. After a 28-year wait and a 52-day trial there could only be one verdict - GUILTY. Be assured we will be covering this story a lot throughout the morning.
Elsewhere in the news, GCHQ have no shame in telling you they ARE spying on your Facebook, Brazil get held to a 0-0 draw by Mexico and Michael Schumacher is showing daily signs of improvement at home with his wife.
We'll have all the usual news, sport, entertainment, weather and transport updates for you from now until 10am, so join in with the conversation in the comments, Facebook (so long as you don't mind spooks watching) or Twitter.
It's getting to the stage that Rangers fans are in the Sport headlines more often than the players these days. Maybe we should start paying the fans 5-figure sums every week.
This morning's most read story concerns Hull City fans.
You might not be too clued up on the club but supporters there took on their club's hierarchy and won.
Now the people who successfully challenged Tigers owner Assem Allam have backed Rangers supporters to prevail in their battle against the Ibrox board.
With just 17,000 season tickets snapped up for the new season Gers' Union of Fans are continuing their fight with the powerbrokers.
The majority of Ibrox punters are fed up with chairman David Somers, chief executive Graham Wallace and directors who they believe have made poor decisions at the club.
Joan Collins last night spoke of her delight at returning to Celtic, 18 years after leaving as a player.
The former Scotland midfielder was confirmed as new boss Ronny Deila's assistant manager yesterday, the day after Record Sport revealed he was to be appointed.
And Collins, who played 229 games for Celtic, admits she's desperate to help the Norwegian coach bring success to the club he left for Monaco in 1996.
She said: "It's a huge honour for me to return to Celtic, the club which has always been such a major part of my life. I am grateful to Ronny for giving me this wonderful opportunity."
Evil John Docherty was finally brought to justice yesterday as he was found guilty of the murder of schoolgirl Elaine Doyle — 28 years after he choked her to death.
Last night, her brother John said he was "overwhelmed" with relief that her killer had been convicted. He said: "At last we got the verdict we wanted. I'm still on a high. I'm overwhelmed that after all these years the right man is behind bars."
John, 49, sat through the trial and was in court yesterday to hear a guilty verdict returned on Docherty, 28 years after his sister's murder.
Elaine was just 16 when she was followed home from a dance, by Docherty, then 21, and attacked in a lane just yards from her home on June 2, 1986.
We've also got yesterday's breaking news that Celtic legend John Collins signed up to be Ronny Deila's wingman this year, and that dastardly Leonardo DiCaprio is still riding high on the waves with his fifty Brazilian beauties on his yacht in Rio.
FOG .. to watch out for on #M8 & also around #M77 J5 - J6 Fenwick— Traffic Scotland (@trafficscotland) June 18, 2014
If you were anything like me last night you were lying flat out, exhausted in the heat but unable to sleep.. because of the heat. How can heat make you exhausted but prevent you from sleeping? What kind of witchcraft is this? I don't know but I know who will - the MET Office deliver us a highly accurate forecast each and every day, so without further ado..

Here's a look at today's front page. Predictably, our front page splash today is all about the conviction of John Docherty, 28 years after he strangled schoolgirl Elaine Doyle to death.
The victim's brother John spoke of his and his family's relief as Docherty was found guilty of stripping and strangling the 16-year-old just yards from her home on June 2, 1986.
John, now 49, sat through the trial and was in court yesterday to hear a guilty verdict returned on Docherty, 28 years after his sister's murder.
We have a special report inside today's newspaper on how the cops finally managed to catch the killer, including two pages devoted to the verdict and two focusing on the development of DNA techniques that police used to prove their case.
Also in your midweek edition you can pick up your daily World Cup Winner, The Punter, Record Woman and Record Homes sections. I told you it was action packed!

Try as they might, Brazil couldn't break the deadlock last night and were eventually held to a scoreless draw with Mexico. This was down to the spectacular efforts of Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who pulled off a series of fiendish saves to keep the host nation off the score sheet.
Ochoa's likely to have a string of clubs lining up to sign him on a Bosman after leaving French side Ajaccio.
John Collins has won a trophy or two at Parkhead in his time but now he's signed up as Ronny Deila's No.2, he's committed to bringing home the silverware in his new role.
..and just as a casual reminder, tomorrow we'll have a special pullout dedicated to giving you all the fixtures for the new season ahead.
A mum vowed last night her fight for justice in the baby ashes scandal was not over – despite the announcement of a major investigation.
The Scottish Government has set up a team to probe what happened to the remains of babies at crematoriums across the country.
Josephine Di Folco, 46, was among parents looking on as public health minister Michael Matheson announced the move at Holyrood yesterday.
Josephine, from Penilee, Glasgow, who gave birth to two stillborn sons, admitted
she had been moved to tears and welcomed the breakthrough in the long-running scandal.
She said: "I was crying when Michael Matheson spoke because in one way it's good news, a positive step for everyone."
Rose and Bobby Stallard were over the moon when their much-loved daughter Elizabeth arrived without a hitch, after a normal pregnancy and a trouble-free home birth.
The couple already had two lads and now baby Elizabeth was another blessing bestowed upon their growing family.
Unfortunately, their delight turned to despair when mere months later, they were told their beautiful little daughter had brain damage and it was in that moment their lives changed forever.
The family have now spoken about their lifelong struggle to provide care and support for their daughter who they believe was brain damaged by a commonly prescribed pill known as the "forgotten Thalidomide".
Read on.
In precisely 100 days, Sam Torrance will stand by the first tee at Gleneagles and feel a familiar rush running through his veins.
The tension of the opening shots of a Ryder Cup is one of the most intimidating yet oh so intoxicating feelings in sport – and over the space of eight appearances as a player and one victorious captaincy, Torrance has learned to how harness it.
How to turn pressure into passion, how to use humour to release the valve just enough to make stepping on to that tee an inspiration instead of an ordeal.
Which will make Torrance's role as one of Paul McGinley's vice captains absolutely crucial to fostering the renowned team spirit that has fuelled Europe to nine wins from their last 13 matches against the USA.
Vincent Lunny is to leave his role as compliance officer after nearly three years at the Scottish Football Association, the governing body has confirmed.
He will leave the Association in September to progress his legal career by training to become an advocate.
The Scottish FA will look to employ a new compliance officer in the near future.
"The last three years have flown by - the fastest three years of my life," said Lunny on the Scottish FA website.
"It has been a real privilege to have worked at the Scottish FA and it has been a tremendous experience.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here and in Scottish football but I am also looking forward to progressing my legal career.
Here's hoping the next Compliance Officer will know how to take a straight photograph.
Let's admit it.. Hibs need a shot of adrenaline to the heart of the club to get themselves out of a spot this season.
New chief executive Leeann Dempster has unveiled her masterplan aimed at making Hibs a major force again in Scottish football.
Dempster will combine the search for a new manager with a total revamping of the Easter Road club's on and off-field operations.
The key aspects include:
- An increase in grassroots football.
- A review and evaluation of the Academy structure.
- Creation of individual development plans for elite young players to assist transition from Academy to first team.
- A structured and fully resourced player identification and recruitment process for players joining the club at all ages.
- A philosophy aimed at developing a common style of play, based on attractive, attacking football.
A GREAT-GRANDAD whose eight-hour ordeal on a hospital trolley lifted the lid on an A&E crisis at Scotland's hospitals has died, aged 85.
John McGarrity passed away on Friday after catching pneumonia at a care home in Ruchill, Glasgow.
Scotland was shocked in January last year when we told how the widower's ordeal in a cold corridor at the city's Western Infirmary because of a shortage of beds.
The scandal led to dozens of NHS staff and patients ringing us to tell of chaos on the wards.
Health Secretary Alex Neil finally admitted A&E wards were stretched to the limit and announced a £1million cash injection for 10 new doctors.
It marked a dramatic U-turn by Neil, who insisted there was no crisis just 24 hours earlier.
I have never witnessed a bigger shambles in my life. Plane full of passengers diverted, young families with kids and one SleasyJet person!— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) June 17, 2014
Football bad boy Joey Barton spent the night on the floor at Glasgow Airport – and he wasn't very happy about it.
The millionaire star tore into easyJet on Twitter after his flight from Gatwick to Belfast was diverted to Scotland.
And although the airline offered him a free hotel room in the city, he chose to bed down at the airport so he could get the first plane to Northern Ireland in the morning.
Joey, 31, tweeted: "Having to sleep on the floor of Glasgow Airport despite getting on the plane to Belfast? Fooking SleasyJet...
"I have never witnessed a bigger shambles in my life. Plane full of passengers diverted, young families with kids and one SleasyJet person!"
A grieving father is to stand trial charged with causing death by careless driving over a crash that killed his 21-year-old son.
Prosecutors allege that Andrew Tetsill, 42, hit son Craig and knocked him off his bike while overtaking him in a van.
They claim he tried to get past when it wasn't safe.
Tetsill, 42, appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court yesterday and denied causing Craig's death by driving without due care and attention or without consideration for other persons.
Former Apprentice contestant Sharon McAllister has been hit with a huge legal bill and could be jailed after being found guilty of contempt of court.
The ex-reality TV star has been given six months to obey court orders in a child contact case or face a heavy fine or prison.
McAllister, the first Scot to appear on the TV show fronted by Lord Sugar, has also been hit with a £20,000 bill for costs after a sheriff ruled she had repeatedly wasted court time.
Yesterday, Perth sheriff Fiona Tait rejected a plea by McAllister's lawyer to let her escape without
any punishment by admonishing her.
Sizzling Scotland was hotter than Ibiza yesterday – and today will be even warmer.
The mercury hit 25C (77F) yesterday, topping the 24.7C high in Glasgow on Monday and making it the warmest day of the year.
And with forecasters predicting it will near 26C today, Scotland is set for its hottest day of 2014 three days in a row.
MeteoGroup recorded 25C highs in the Central Belt yesterday and thousands of people took advantage, heading to beaches, outdoor pools and parks throughout the country.

Ford Kiernan, Greg Hemphill, Gavin Mitchell, Sanjeev Kohli, Paul Riley, Mark Cox and Jane McCarry were joined by show director Michael Hines to run through the latest version of the top-secret script in Greg Hemphill's kitchen.
Ford and Greg have been busy penning the return of the Craiglang crew since the start of the year.
Rehearsals begin in August for their 21-show run which opens on 19 September.
Details of the plot have been kept top secret.
The pair last week started a countdown clock outside The SSE Hydro marking 100 days till opening night.
The initial four date run sold out and was extended several times, even blocking rock megastars from playing dates they'd been eyeing at the vast venue.
Some tickets are still available for the extra dates.
Lily allen references Rihanna, Katy Pery, Lorde and Lady Gaga in her song Sheezus, and at least one of them is happy about it.
"I sent Rihanna Sheezus," said Lily, 29.
"She loved it, thought it was hilarious. Maybe don't send it to Gaga."
Actually, Gaga loved it too. Lucky Lily. Here's hping she stays lucky - she went out recently in a transparent bag, showing off all her belongings.
It was an epic clash of the two Jennifers: Jen Lawrence, 23, asked Jen Lopez to dance at a Kanye West gig and was SNUBBED. Bo hiss. But J-Lo explained it wasn't personal. She said: "Kanye was about to perform and everybody was rushing t the dance floor. It was like a mosh pit over there. I remember Jennifer saying, 'Let's go out to the dance floor and dance, let's go dance!'
"And I was like, 'Nah, I'm good right here'."
J-Lo, 44, could do with more people wanting to dance with her - the singer's new album A.K.A. has only sold 736 copies so far this week. And that's a few days after she performed at the World Cup opening ceremony.
Belle & Sebastian are among the music entertainment lined up to coincide with the Commonwealth Games 2014 in Glasgow.
Organisers of Glasgow's Commonwealth Games 2014 have unveiled their festival programme with over a thousand performances taking place in over 100 venues including a Glasgow Green Live Zone.
The festival will run from July 19 to August 3 alongside the Games themselves.
Stuart Murdoch's Brit-winning indie favourites will perform the rare homecoming concert at the newly refurbished Kelvingrove Bandstand's opening ceremony on Wednesday, July 23.
Murdoch said: "The bandstand in Kelvingrove Park is like a dream within a dream. We are very pleased to be playing there."
Morrisons have been forced to stop playing England World Cup songs at their Scottish stores after complaints from customers.
Shoppers north of the border were stunned to hear English anthems belting out of tannoys at the supermarkets in the run-up to the tournament.
Christopher Vale, 25, of Carfin, Lanarkshire, said: "I couldn't believe it. I thought I'd taken a wrong turn and ended up in the middle of England. It's just rubbing in the fact England are playing in Brazil and Scotland didn't qualify."
Songs included on the playlist included Three Lions by comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel and Vindaloo by comic and actor Keith Allen. New Order song World in Motion, which was the official England song for the 1990 World Cup, was also played.
Today could be the hottest day of the year so far in Scotland. Yesterday it was as hot in Baillieston as it was in Brazil. So take a look at the weather outlook below and tell me you're not looking forward to getting off this evening.
- Some early mist patches, then a bright day across most parts with warm sunny spells. Some clouds building during the afternoon, with perhaps an isolated shower towards Cumbernauld. Feeling cooler around the coasts with perhaps some mist over the Isles. Maximum Temperature 26 °C.
Lothian and Borders
- Some early mist patches, then a bright day across most parts with warm sunny spells. Some clouds building during the afternoon, with perhaps an isolated shower over the Lothians and Borders. Feeling cooler around the coasts with onshore breezes developing. Maximum Temperature 25 °C
Central, Tayside and Fife
- Some early mist patches, then a bright day across all parts with warm sunny spells. More in the way of clouds building during the afternoon, with a few showers developing over Fife and Angus. Maximum Temperature 24 °C.
- Some early mist patches in the west, then a bright day across most parts with warm sunny spells. More in the way of clouds building during the afternoon, and a few showers developing towards Aberdeen and Stonehaven. Maximum Temperature 23 °C.
- Some early mist patches, then a bright with some warm sunny spells across the south and east. Clouds increasing across the Western Isles and the northwest to give some rain during the afternoon. Westerly winds freshening in the north. Maximum Temperature 24 °C.
World Cup Roundup
Here's a look at tonight's World Cup fixtures from Brazil:
- 17:00 - Group B - Australia Vs Netherlands (ITV)
- 20:00 - Group B - Spain Vs Chile (BBC1)
- 23:00 - Group A - Cameroon Vs Croatia (ITV)
There are plenty of world cup stories to sink your teeth in to get you in the mood for tonight's matches.
Get a look at all the World Cup action from match day 6 in photographs. Belgium produce a spirited display in the second half against Algeria to win 2-1 and hosts Brazil and Mexico produce as an exciting 0-0 as you are likely to see.
Check out the Russia Vs South Korea match report, as ex-England boss Capello looked set to rue another goalkeeping blooper before Alexander Kerzhakov grabbed an equaliser.
Elsewhere, Belgium were a goal down at halftime but dominated after the interval, with Marouane Fellaini levelling and fellow sub' Dries Mertens scoring a stunning winner. Don't miss our post-match analysis of that game.
The Mexico goalkeeper was the star of the show as the host nation again failed to impress in their second World Cup match and were held to a 0-0 stalemate.
If all that's too much football for you, then why not just take a gander at our gallery of the best (and worst) hairstyles that have made their way to Brazil this summer.
Scott McDermott answers your calls in today's SPORTS HOTLINE as punters insist it would be "crazy" to allow Rangers and Celtic supporters to drink at future Old Firm matches.
Fans at the World Cup in Brazil have managed to create a carnival atmosphere at stadiums while enjoying a few beers.
And now the majority of supporters in Scotland want the current alcohol ban lifted, as exclusively revealed by Record Sport on Monday.
But some of the Hotline callers are having none of it – and insist the punters here aren't ready to bring back the bevvy.
Michael Mullen, Linwood, said: "I totally disagree with Paul Goodwin of Supporters Direct Scotland who wants alcohol back at football.
"The Old Firm, or the Bigot Brothers as I call them, will soon meet again and it would be crazy to allow drink into those games.
George McDonald, Glasgow, said: "I'm completely against bringing alcohol back into football stadiums – the culture in this country can't cope with it.
"And I'm still unconvinced about how safe standing will be effective."
Well, that's us run out of time on another day's breakfast blog. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the magic midweek marker that is a Wednesday.
There's still plenty in today's paper that we never had time to cover, so make sure you pick up today's edition in paper format, iPad, or online, including htat 8-page Elaine Doyle pullout.
Rather than going through this morning's most read stories at 10:00am, instead we're going to leave you with the collection of stories that make up our special coverage of the conviction of evil John Docherty, who was yesterday found guilty of strangling Elaine Doyle to death.

Pitney Bowes Announces Third Quarter Results For 2012
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today reported financial results for the third quarter 2012.
Recent Highlights
- Revenues of $1.2 billion; Adjusted EPS of $0.47; GAAP EPS of $0.38
- Reaffirms full year 2012 guidance for the following:
- Revenue in the range of flat to -4%, excluding the impact of currency;
- Adjusted EPS guidance in the range of $1.95 to $2.15;
- Free cash flow in the range of $750 - $850 million.
- Updates GAAP EPS guidance to a range of $1.78 to $2.08, which includes new impairment and restructuring charges.
- Significant progress on expanding our participation in higher growth cross-border ecommerce parcel opportunities, including, a broader strategic relationship with eBay to provide ecommerce shipping solutions beginning in the 4 th quarter.
- Decision to exit the International Mail Services business focused on delivering mail and catalogues internationally, in line with the focus on higher growth cross-border ecommerce parcel opportunities.
- Year-over-year growth in Production Mail revenue.
- Continued growth in Presort revenue.
Commenting on the quarter, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Murray D. Martin said, "We continue to execute our strategy to be a leading provider of customer communications solutions; however, our earnings performance during the quarter did not meet our expectations. In the third quarter, our results continued to be affected by global economic weakness, especially in International Mailing and Software where public sector spending remains constrained. However, we were pleased to see gradually improving trends in North America Mailing, where equipment sales experienced a slower rate of decline and the best year-over-year comparisons in six quarters."
Mr. Martin added, "We continue to take actions to drive sustainable long-term growth for Pitney Bowes and our shareholders and are focused on positioning Pitney Bowes to succeed in the changing market landscape. We decided to exit the International Mail Services business related to the delivery of international mail and catalogs. As we focus on the higher growth opportunities, we are growing our participation in ecommerce opportunities related to cross border parcel shipping services. One example is our collaboration with eBay to facilitate cross border ecommerce by providing technology solutions and parcel shipping services. Additionally, to address our changing business mix and current economic pressures, we are initiating actions to further streamline the business through organizational and management consolidations to further reduce our cost structure. And, we will further realign future investments in the business as we focus on higher growth opportunities."

Akali Original Skin Splash Edit
2 Attachment(s)
I was bored and just wanted to practice photoshop painting but i was feeling a bit uncreative. So i decided to try make Akali's splash art 'better'. However still being a novice, and the fact that art is art, I guess that's up to opinion xD.
There are definitely things I could improve on (+ i was lazy and tired and decided to not paint anymore [so i might work on it once again soon]) so feedback appreciated.
Nicely done!
hey, not bad at all.
But you gotta polish it some more!
keep it up!

"It does not appear that she's going to be back on Idol," David Sonenberg, who signed Abdul as a client last month, told the Los Angeles Times. Idol host Ryan Seacrest — who had a year left on his own contract — just extended his stay through 2012 and at more than double his current salary. And Abdul's fellow judge, Simon Cowell, is reportedly in talks to inflate his own annual paycheck to $100 million-plus.Sonenberg says Idol producers FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment have yet to offer a new contract to Abdul, whose pact with the reality juggernaut expired at the end of Season 8. Read how Ryan Seacrest keeps Idol pitch-perfect
The judging panel for Season 9 is due to hit the road and start critiquing audition callbacks next month. "I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual... unnecessarily hurtful... kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that [the producers] haven't stepped up and said what they want to do," Sonenberg said. "[Paula]'s not a happy camper as a result of what's going on. She's hurt. She's angry."A Fox spokesperson would not comment for TVGuide.com on Abdul's contract status, while her publicist did not respond to requests for comment.If Idol does in fact let Abdul slip away, what might be next for her? She has explored the idea of headlining her own Las Vegas show. Beyond that, "We're going to be considering everything, including some kind of a competition show," said Sonenberg. "She has tremendous ideas for a whole variety of shows."
