Search ongoing for dead Kansas woman's daughter
OTTAWA -- Crews on foot, horseback and all-terrain vehicles resumed their search Friday for an 18-month-old girl who is presumed dead after the bodies of her mother and two men were found at an eastern Kansas farm.
OTTAWA -- Crews on foot, horseback and all-terrain vehicles resumed their search Friday for an 18-month-old girl who is presumed dead after the bodies of her mother and two men were found at an eastern Kansas farm.
The body of Lana's Leigh Bailey's mother, 21-year-old Kaylie Bailey, was discovered Monday at the Ottawa-area farm where she had gone to drop off her daughter with her friend Andrew Stout.
Friends who had went to check on Stout, 30, found Bailey's body and called 911. Authorities later found Stout's body as well as that of Steven E. White, 31, who also lived on the farm.
A 27-year-old convicted felon was being held on suspicion of first-degree murder in the deaths, though formal charges had not been filed as of early Friday afternoon. The man previously served prison time for shooting a former employer in 2005 after being fired, according to court records.
Franklin County Sheriff Jeffrey Richards planned a news conference later Friday after canceling one that had been scheduled for earlier in the day.
Richards has said Lana Bailey is presumed dead, but has not released any details.
Franklin County officials waited until they had identified Kaylie Bailey's body before requesting Wednesday afternoon that the Kansas Bureau of Investigation issue an Amber Alert for her missing daughter. The girl's disappearance had been widely reported by that time, and the agency rejected what they called a "delayed" request. The bureau did help disseminate information about Lana to the public, though.
Amber Alerts are issued in Kansas for children who are up to 17 years old or who have a proven mental or physical disability; law enforcement must believe the child is in danger of serious bodily harm or death; or there must be information to disseminate to the general public that could assist the recovery of the victim or apprehension of the suspect.
Richards has said officials didn't think Lana's disappearance qualified for an Amber Alert until Kaylie Bailey's body was identified, noting that the girl was in her mother's care at the time of her disappearance last week.
"Maybe they had an idea of a lead that they felt would pan out," retired FBI special agent Jeff Lanza said. "But normally when you have a missing baby you put something out right away. I'm not sure what was going on behind that."

"This makes an incredible amount of food. I think the recipe would more precisely serve 8-10 people as a first course. I did not have larger caper berries that I wanted (just small ones) but I think I just preferred the cornichons anyway, as they are quite tart and counter balance the flavors. Oh and I didn't have ground thyme as I don'..."
"This is excellent! I do a recipe that is similar but doesn't use tomato as your recipe does. I like the combination of flavors! I did use a yellow bell pepper in mine but it was what was in the fridge. I served this with a warm mushroom salad and also stewed eggplant with tomato as a warm side. Thanks for sharing."
"I used turkey thigh meat as I saw others had used a non-ground meat alternative. Everything else I did as the recipe suggested. The only thing I would do differently next time is make half the amount of sauce, since we didn't really need that amount. Thanks for sharing!"
"Occasionally I like to try recipes that are a little different from what I usually make to see how my old standbys hold up and this is one of those. While this recipe has a few different ingredients which really change the flavor from what I am used to, this is still an excellent recipe. And it goes to show that just like gumbo, there are many wa..."
"The first time I made these I didn't like the lemon pepper. I made these again without recalling I had made them before and by some stroke of luck forgot the lemon pepper totally, and felt they were perfect with just salt and black pepper. So if someone doesn't like the lemon pepper, try it again without and I'm sure you will love ..."
"Thought I had enough Emmenthaler but when I was in the middle of making this, discovered I didn't quite have enough so added a bit of Jarslberg which I thought might be okay, and as it turns out, it was, albeit slightly different from the recipe. I made these in ramekins and it was quite easy and was enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing!"
"Very good if not quite authentic (I am used to using things like whole cumin seed and asafoetida). I did use toor dal in mine which is similar type of yellow dal which cooks the same way and tastes similar as well. I did add a little salt, but I did not use the broth, only water, as I am used to. Thanks for sharing!"

More public transport trouble
Okay, first, the train came in late. Smart thing that they still didn't replace the clock on the trainstation, so you couldn't really tell the time or couldn't really tell that the train was late if you don't have a watch yourself. But I had my cellphone, and the time said the train came late. Then, for some reason, on another station, it just didn't leave for no particular reason. They just forgot to close the doors, so they couldn't leave.
Anyway, after switching trains, there appearantly was some accident further on, so I decided to take the tram (street car). As most of you know, the Netherlands is pretty famous for its canals and waters. I can expect the tram to wait for one of the bridges to go open, because a boat needs to cross.
But no, this had to happen two times. So, a delayed train, waiting for nothing, a cancelled train, and waiting before an open bridge two times. What a lovely day.

Hi, I just purchased a Playbook , running the latest OS..
I noticed that desktop photos keeps appearing in my Pictures folder that I don't take, does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?
I am deleting multiple photos every day.
Thanks in advance -
It could be to do with the screenshot function. If you press both of the volume keys at the same time, it takes a screenshot. Like on a computer. If you are knocking these, or whatever you're doing might be causing it to take multiple screenshots.

Thanks, that was it. I was storing my stylus at the top of my case which seemed to be pressing on those two keys (still exploring my PB, so had no idea that that combination of keys was to take a screenshot)
Lesson learned. Cheers! -

Illinois Begins Issuing Same-Sex Marriage Licenses
McDonough County began issuing same sex marriage licenses Monday. County Clerk Gretchen DeJaynes said couples must apply in person at the county courthouse.
New marriage licenses cost $65 but they're free for those already in a civil union.
"You can convert your civil union to a marriage if you choose," DeJaynes said. "We have had a couple of couples decide to that and we have had a marriage already this morning."
For couples converting, the marriage license will be backdated to the start of their civil union. DeJaynes said the process requires a little paperwork and new signatures from the couple.
McDonough County has issued about 15 civil unions over the past three years. In Illinois, about 6,000 couples have entered into civil unions since they became legal in 2011.
Some Illinois counties began offering marriage licenses to same-sex couples in February following a federal judge's ruling that the state's ban was unconstitutional. So far, about 1,140 same-sex couples have wed.

Child abuse statute of limitations extended in MassachusettsJuly 16, 2014 |
Chris Maza On June 26, Patrick signed House bill 4126 into law after it received unanimous support from the House of Representatives and the state Senate the previous week. State Sen. Gale Candaras, D-Wilbraham, Senate vice-chair of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary, which sponsored the bill, explained the purpose was to give a voice to those abused who may not have had the ability to deal with the pain at the time. "So many times these people grow up and realize the irreparable harm that was done to them and they have tremendous desire and interest to confront in a court of law their abuser and get justice and compensation from their perpetrator," she said. Before the bill was signed, a suit had to be filed within three years of the incident, within three years of the alleged victim turning 18 or three years from discovery that an emotional or psychological condition was caused by the abuse. Under the new law, civil charges can be filed against an alleged abuser up to 35 years after the victim turns 18, or their 53rd birthday, and extends the statute of limitations from three years to seven years after a psychological condition resulting from the abuse is diagnosed. Candaras explained that in many of these abuse cases involving children, it would be extremely difficult to achieve satisfaction through the criminal court system because of its need for reasonable doubt to convict. "A civil claim in a superior court in the Commonwealth would have a less onerous standard of proof,"?she said, adding that as opposed to a criminal trial, in a civil case, plaintiffs can seek relief in the form of compensation for pain and suffering or lost wages as well as punitive damages. While the bill was supported unanimously, Candaras explained that its acceptance as law was a long time coming, explaining that the bill had effects on other parts of state law that needed to be addressed. "It's a highly technical piece of legislation that involved everything from discovery rules to statutes of limitations to evidentiary rules to even businesses buying businesses because you can sue private organizations,"?she said. "There were a tremendous number of issues that were raised in terms of developing this legislation. It was a long and hard and very onerous process to make sure we were not going to create chaos in other areas of the law." Candaras and William Brownsberger, D-Belmont, chair of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary, said past victims still attempting to seek justice were especially influential in the passing of the legislation. Longmeadow resident Lisa Foster, a mother of two who claimed she was abused from the time she was 8 to 14 years old and developed Dissociative Identity Disorder that prevented her from coming to terms with her abuse until 2010, was one of the bill's advocates, testifying at the Judiciary Committee hearing in Boston on May 7, 2013. "On [June 20, after the House and Senate votes] I went to a birthday party for one my son's friends. I was standing in the front lawn watching a group of them play wiffle ball and thought to myself, 'The world just got safer for you,'" Foster said in an email to Reminder Publications. "[On June 26] it was made official in very moving speech and signing by the governor and legislators who put their hearts into its passing. I feel like in that signing a wave of good swept over our state, and into all of our lives." Brownsberger credited Foster and others like her for their work in making the bill a reality. "Lisa Foster is among those brave survivors of sexual child abuse who have chosen to tell their story publicly," he said. "They are the ones who taught the legislature about the need for reform. Without the courage of Lisa and other survivors, this reform just wouldn't have happened." Candaras added, "It's those people who courageously told their stories that helped inform our decision-making." Candaras cited Kathy Picard, a Ludlow native, as another pivotal figure in not only educating other lawmakers on the struggles victims face, but also acting as a compass for her and the community regarding abuse issues. "Throughout the years that we have been working on this, Kathy Picard has been a constant in my life," Candaras said. "She has worked with us on this legislation and shared many times with me the story of her victimization and how it has affected her life and her marriage and her career choices." |

CALABASAS, Calif., March 23, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetSol Technologies, Inc. ("NetSol" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:NTWK) (Nasdaq Dubai:NTWK), a U.S. corporation providing global business services and enterprise application solutions to private and public sector organizations worldwide, today announced an update from its CEO, Najeeb Ghauri, on its corporate business developments.
Mr. Ghauri, NetSol's Chairman and CEO, stated: "We have seen a noticeable increase in activity within Pakistan's public sector, and its health and private business sectors are also on the rise. As a premier IT company in Pakistan, NetSol has been invited as a pre-qualified company to tender offers for several new projects, and our business development teams are aggressively bidding for these contracts. We expect to periodically update our investors with material developments as we win these bids."
The Company's management has completed several recent purchases of NetSol stock, including 500,000 shares acquired in February and March 2011. Mr. Ghauri commented, "The management team has enhanced its ownership through open market buying and exercise of options, which is reflective of our long-term view and outlook. We exercise options both to improve our shareholdings and also to take advantage of unusually low stock valuation.

KENDRAPADA: Several heritage buildings and monuments in Kendrapada district are in shambles owing to the poor maintenance by the government.
Kendrapada has significant heritage buildings, including the 145-year-old Kendrapada High School, 100-year-old palace in Rajkanika, 132-year-old Hukitola building, 176-year-old lighthouse in Batighar Gram Panchayat, 300-year-old Baladevjew temple, 120-year-old Sun-Clock and a few other ancient buildings and temples.
"Kendrapada does not care much about its heritage and history. Lovely old buildings are neglected and they either crumble away to an ignominious end or come crashing down on people and property," said Basudev Das, a researcher.
In recent years, local people have encroached upon the walls and main gate of 400-year-old Binodabihari temple. "Unless the intruders are driven out and repair works are completed, the walls would crumble," cautioned one of the priests of the temple.
"Heritage is no more valued in the state. Important old buildings have been systematically destroyed," said Amar Biswal, the president of Kendrapada Citizens' Forum.
P K Pattnaik, the district collector, said, "The government has recently granted Rs 50 lakh to renovate Hukitola building. A boundary wall would be erected around the ancient sun-clock soon. Encroachers will be evicted from the heritage sites soon."

Other states like Florida and Ohio may be bigger, but Nevada and its 6 electoral votes will be key in the fall. And the race in that state, along with a couple House races and a key Senate race that could determine control of the chamber, may come down to whether the Culinary Union engages in the fall or sits out the election.

John Ensign Will Resign May 3; Rep. Dean Heller to Replace Him [Updated] |
By: David Dayen Thursday April 21, 2011 3:42 pm |
John Ensign, the Nevada Senator still reeling from an adultery and corruption scandal, will resign tomorrow, according to several published reports. Rep. Dean Heller, who has already announced a run for Ensign's seat in the Senate, will be appointed as an interim replacement for Ensign by Governor Brian Sandoval, giving him the power of incumbency and a leg up in what should be a competitive Senate election in 2012. This leaves Heller's seat open, and a special election will ensue.

Just three months into the 2012 campaign cycle, 8 of the 33 Senators up for re-election will be retiring. Since 2006, there are 42 new Senators in the upper house, and with these 8 retirements, that means that at least half of the body will be made up of people who haven't been there longer than 7 years, come 2013.

Reid Calls for Foreclosure Moratorium in Nevada |
By: David Dayen Thursday October 7, 2010 1:01 pm |
Reid had to do this. Nevada is off the charts when it comes to foreclosures and negative equity. Over 70% of homeowners in the state, an amazing number, are underwater or nearly underwater. Foreclosures are higher than any other state as well, and this contributes to both the skyrocketing unemployment rate and state budget deficit.

I've read Bald Cypress is capable of growing in the north, but it seems sucsess is quite variable, and dependent on the genetics of a given tree. I also hear most of the cypresses that do well in the north are decended from trees growing in the northern reaches of the trees native range. What are some mail-order sources others growing this species in the north have had sucess with? Also would a cypress this far north need special care? |

Scottish league reconstruction: Fans have 'reservations'
Scottish football fans have "reservations" about proposed changes to the country's league structure, according to a fans group.
But Supporters Direct Scotland's Paul Goodwin has welcomed the opportunity to be involved in the process "to ensure maximum transparency".
Scotland's three governing bodies have jointly proposed that the current make up of four leagues is altered.
Under the plans, there would be two divisions of 12 and one of 18.
- SPL proposal is for a 12-12-18 structure
- Top two leagues to split into three leagues of eight after 22 matches then play a further seven home and seven away games
- Leagues will be called Premier Division, Championship and National League
- Top eight teams to play for title and European places; middle eight to contest promotion and relegation in and out of Premier Division; bottom eight to decide who drops into National League
- 11 out of 12 SPL clubs need to vote in favour of plans, while the proposal requires approval of 23 out of 30 SFL clubs
- One league body to replace SPL and SFL
However, midway through the season the top two leagues would be split into three sections of eight.
Should the proposals be accepted by senior clubs, the SPL and SFL would be replaced by a single entity.
When announcing the proposals, Scottish Football Association Stewart Regan responded to a question about fans' desire for a bigger top flight by saying he hoped to work with Supporters Direct to explain the rationale for the 12-12-18 plan.
"Supporters Direct Scotland (SDS) welcomes the first steps towards the restructuring of Scottish football," said Goodwin.
"Recognition that change was required has to be welcomed by everyone involved in the game both now and in the future.
"I attended a meeting with the chief executives of the Scottish FA, Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League and was encouraged that their members are committed to change for the good of the game.
"I was also pleased to receive assurance that any new single league body will work with SDS to ensure maximum transparency to supporters on all future decisions and to ensure that fans' views are heard.
"SDS also believes that other key stakeholders such as the Professional Footballers Association in Scotland and the Scottish League Managers Association must also be involved so that all voices are not just heard but are part of the decision-making processes from now on.
"Whilst welcoming the possibility of a more equitable monetary distribution, I reiterated that many supporters have reservations over the proposed league structures but welcomed their willingness to work with us going forward.
"We also urged the league bodies and, in particular, the member clubs to consult closely with supporters to ensure a fuller understanding of any proposed new league format."

Same sized fanbase but not same size populations: most countries our size have leagues of 12 or smaller or bigger leagues are accommodated in bigger TV revenues, like Norway. Its not just about attendance, its about wider revenue. -

Ok I like the idea of 16 16 and regional make more sense than any 12 12 solutions
as I've said before the Scottish Cup could have a champions league style to incorporate league teams and non league teams in a group stage to make up the lost games -
Comment number 123.
13th January 2013 - 20:0616, 16 premier, representing pro football, like in many other sensible european countries. below that football needs to be regional. it just so happens east, west and north junior premiers combined plus 10 from sfl divsion 3 leaves the right number to make the east, west and north regions also 16. It makes so much sense it's painful

Trashy yard shines the cold light of day on holiday decorations: Kenny Be's Yard Arteology
Yard Arteology: The study of neighbors through their lawn decorations...
Holiday 2010: Santa Down!
By day, the white electrical cords that power the lights of the holiday yard display pictured above look like an alien plant species that has slithered across the yard to strangle Santa Claus and consume a child's tricycle. Christmas looks bad in broad daylight...
Holiday 2010: Holiday guests just lay their coats on the lawn.
The Hilltop neighborhood home pictured above is a perfect presentation of America's two most popular forms of holiday yard art. The background Nativity scene is the classic plastic mold version, while the more contemporary inflatable display lies deflated up front.
Compared to the molded holiday yard decorations, which require a considerable amount of storage space for 49 weeks of the year, the inflatable can easily be stuffed into a thirteen-gallon trash bag. Unfortunately, the inflatable looks like a pile of laundry during the day, while the Creche characters remain at the decorative ready for passersby the whole day long.
Surprisingly, these Nativity scene characters are still made in the United States, at the General Foam Plastics factory in Norfolk, Virginia. The thirteen characters seen above are sold in nine different sets, but a lightbulb is included in only five:
#C3680 3-Piece Joseph, Mary and Jesus Nativity set; bulb included in Jesus only.
#C3690 3-Piece Wiseman set; bulbs not included.
#C3740 Shepherd with one sheep; bulb included in sheep only.
#C3780 Camel; bulb not included.
#C3380 Sheep; bulb included.
#C3800 Cow; bulb include.
#C3760 Donkey; bulb included.
#C61770 Angel; bulb not included.
So, lightbulbs are included in Jesus, two sheep, a cow and a donkey. That none of the adult figures (or camel) comes with an inner light suggests that the manufacturers are evangelicals who believe that only the babies and cuter beasts of the Earth are pure at heart. Below, see how these lightless figures update their Facebook pages...

I am so confused. I asked a gardener where to plant my Gardenias and Hydrangeas. He told me that Gardenias need all shade, and Hydrangeas need partial sun/shade.
I have researced quite a bit on the web, and the info I was given was Gardenias need sun, and Hydrangeas need all shade. Which is correct? Does it depend on what kind of Gardenia it is? If so, which is the easiest and healthiest type to grow?...And where? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have both. They both do well with morning sun or filtered afternoon sun or part shade. I don't know if gardenias can do well in full shade with no sun (they could be fine for example with winter sun under deciduous trees with shade in the summer). My gardenias are on the northeast side of my house and do well (with fertilizing and babying) with sun until 1:00 p.m. and the hydrangeas are on a northwestern exposure and get shade from larger shrubs in the afternoon. The hydrangeas are deciduous for me (don't know how they would be in zone 10 without the frost) and the gardenias are evergreen. Beware the gardenias are very difficult to grow and are cranky. The different advice you are getting online depends more on the part of the country it was written for than the plant type. Full sun up north is like part shade or filtered shade in the south. Many plants that can grow in full sun up north fry in the south. |
What sort of Hydrangeas are you wanting to grow? The 'lace caps' are pretty sun tolerant once they're established. They can be used in a mixed hedge or for boudary plantings. The oak-leaf Hydrangea is more a 50:50 type in my experience - and can collapse after prolongued drought. The old ones that tend to go wild in abandoned sites will put up with all sorts of horrid conditions. The new varieties such as 'Saturn' - I'm not yet sure of. If you can get them in when you're expecting reliable rain they'll be able to break out of the pot shape with their roots and be foraging for water/food before you face your next summer. Even so, expect it to take a couple of years for them to fully settle in. |
I bought a baby hydrangea this summer, planted it in the ground in a morning sun, afternoon shade location. It never bloomed after that, and absolutely withered like crazy with the first really cold weather. I had no idea what to do and just hacked it back to about 4 inches!! Is it normal for a hydrangea to wither like that in winter?? Did I completely destroy it????? I absolutely love them and plan on having the side of my house packed with them, but I don't know how to care for them or what to expect. I also plan to mix them with gardenias. NEED HELP!!

Jennifer, you will get all sorts of detailed help on the hydrangea forum, but let me address your major concerns first. Hydrangeas lose their leaves in winter so it is not unexpected or a reason for concern that yours looked "whithered" at the first sign of a good cold spell. And young hydrangeas often need some and age and establishment to bloom, so no blooms this season is also not a reason for concern. However, hacking it back to 4" was not necessary and depending on how large it was before such treatment, might be a little on the severe side. And if it was a largeleaf mophead type hydrangea (arguably the most common), cutting it back will have removed any possibility of flowering next season. Visit the Hydrangea forum and read through the FAQ's and a variety of the posts, specially those that deal with pruning questions, and you will get a good understanding of how best to take care of your baby. |
Man!!:( Well, that's a bummer! I appreciate the response and advice. I just found the hydrangea forum and will spend some time in there. Thanks Jennifer//>< |

北京色彩 (Beijing Color)
My lucky 13th roll from my trip to China. My LC-A+ really had a hard time with this roll. Only 11 photos came out because the film got stuck and would not advance. This is from our first day in Beijing. Seeing these images again really makes me miss China.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by mylatehope with a Lomo LC-A+ (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Fuji Sensia film (available in our Online Shop) in Beijing, China.

Louisville Men's Basketball #7 in AP Poll; Women are #12
The Louisville Cardinals have both of their basketball teams ranked in the Top 15 of the AP poll. The men jumped up 1 spot this week to #7, and the women stayed put at #12.
The men (1-0) have two games this week. Tonight they face Jacksonville State at 7:00 and Friday they play Marshall at 9:00. Both games are at home. The women (2-0) host Belmont on Thursday at 7:00.
Louisville Women's Basketball Picked 3rd in ACC
The ACC released their preseason picks for many different categories like Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, how the teams will finish, and more. One positive about the Cards being in the ACC is not having to be in the same conference as UConn. However, Notre Dame is still a very formidable league opponent.
Coach Jeff Walz has his Louisville Cardinals right there on the doorstep of a National Championship. Recruiting has never been better for the women's basketball team, so things are only getting better. The Cards were picked to finish 3rd in the ACC this season. Here are the rest of the preseason categories.
Jeff Walz Putting Together a Loaded 2015 Class
It is easy to just get wrapped up in the recruiting for men's basketball and football. And in both of those sports, the Cards are doing very well. However, it is about time to start taking a look at what Jeff Walz is doing for the future of the women's basketball team. He is putting together a class that will likely be in the top 3, and could possibly be #1 when it's all said and done. That is pretty good for a team that was playing their home games in Cardinal Arena not too long ago.
ProspectsNation.com is a great resource for women's basketball recruiting. According to their rankings, the Cards have one 5-star player and four 4-star players in the 2015 class. Asia Durr is obviously the gem of the group, but right now the LOWEST ranked commit is 36th in the country! Pretty impressive.
Class Year | Overall Rank | Position Rank | Nat'l Rating | Pos | Name | State | HT/PPG | School |
2015 | 1 | 1 |
Asia Durr | Georgia | 5'10″/ | L'ville | |
2015 | 12 | 5 |
Taja Cole | Virginia | 5'8″/ | L'ville | |
2015 | 23 | 6 |
Brianna Jones | New York | 5'9″/ | L'ville | |
2015 | 26 | 5 |
Samantha Fuehring | New Jersey | 6'2″/ | L'ville | |
2015 | 36 | 8 |
Erin DeGrate | Texas | 6'5″/ | L'ville |
ESPN.com also puts together rankings for women's basketball recruiting. When you look at that, you see that four out of the five commits are 5-stars! Here is how their list looks…
Asia Durr – #2 overall; 5-star player
Taja Cole – #29 overall; 5-star player
Erin DeGrate – #41 overall; 5-star player
Brianna Jones – #43 overall; 5-star player
Samantha Fuehring – #65 overall; 4-star player
All of this is coming on the heels of the 8th ranked class in 2014 according to ESPN. It's only a matter of time. That National Championship is coming…
Jeff Walz Lands Another 4-star Recruit
Jeff Walz is putting together one heck of a class for the University of Louisville. The latest is 4-star forward Samantha Fuehring, who stands at 6'3. She plays at Immaculate Conception High School in New Jersey and is the 26th best player in the country according to ProspectsNation.com.
Women's Basketball Releases 2014-15 Schedule
Yesterday the University of Louisville released the 2014-15 schedule for the women's basketball team. As much as you hear about Rick Pitino and now Bobby Petrino, Jeff Walz is absolutely getting it done on the women's side of things. If you are like me, you just get the feeling that he is knocking on the door of bringing a National Championship to Louisville. One great thing about being in the ACC will mean that UConn is not in the conference. However, you will surely still see them at some point in the tournament, but that's ok. Walz will get the job done sooner rather than later.
"This competition is one of the reasons our program is so excited about going into the ACC," head coach Jeff Walz said. "The strength of this league from top to bottom is remarkable. We know we're going to be tested every single night, and that's only going to make us better as we prepare for postseason. I think our fans are in for a real treat with this schedule."
Need ticket information? This comes from UofL:
Asia Durr, top women's player, chooses Louisville
Jeff Walz just picked up what some people are saying is his biggest recruit ever! Asia Durr, ranked the #1 player in the country by many scouting services, has committed to Louisville over women's basketball powerhouses Notre Dame, Baylor, Duke, and Maryland.
Durr is a 5'10 point guard from Douglasville, Georgia. ESPN ranks her as the top point guard in the country and the #2 player overall, and a 5-star player obviously.
As good as she is on the court, it appears Walz is getting one heck of a person off the court too. This from ESPN.com:
In addition, Durr, who carries a 3.2 GPA and is interested in studying sports management, is active in her community.
She has volunteered on behalf of the Shoes For Haiti campaign and has written letters to U.S. troops as part of the Works of Mercy service program. She has helped the homeless, working with the Destiny World Church ministry, and the hungry as part of the Meals on Wheels Association of America.
Jeff Walz Gets a Big Commitment
Jeff Walz has just landed a big time commitment for the class of 2015. Erin DeGrate, a 6'4 (or 6'5 on some sites) center from Waco, Texas, was visiting Louisville this past weekend. She got back home to Texas and made her commitment official to the Cards. ProspectsNation.com ranks her as the 8th best center in the class, and the 36th best player overall.
In the end, DeGrate chose Louisville over offers from Baylor, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Washington, and Kansas.
55 (Episode 17)
This week…..on 55…..
We talk about huge basketball wins, Women's Basketball advancing to the AAC tourney final, Sr night and the end of 55? And much, much more. Well here we go. Once again, I share with you the 55 most ridiculous things I have heard, had to debate, or just thought about this past week. This …..is….55.
1) For all that have been asking, Mom got out of the hospital this weekend, your prayers were appreciated and mine were answered. Thank you guys so much…..
2) Saturday was Sr night for the winningest Senior class in UofL Men's Basketball history….Thanks go out to each and every one of you guys.
3) Here is a personal thanks to each of you individually
5) Tim Henderson: Wichita…the kid got a nickname! Without a doubt the 2nd biggest inspiration during the tourney run last year behind Kevin Ware. This guy was always underappreciated by the fanbase and always worked so hard.
He got in and extended our title run with 2 shots that will go down in Louisville history. Tim, as one of your biggest skeptics the first 2.5 years I wanna say thank you for all you have done. Maybe this year we can use some more Wichita magic!
7) Stephan Van Treese: SVT, SVB, VAN BEAST, Big Hustle. The man of many nicknames for many UL fans. One of the few guys that I can remember who gave his all every single play. Another key factor to our success. You need a hustle play and he will take care of it for you.
A member of one of the most troubled recruiting classes we have had along side of Swop, Marra & Buckles…Siva was fine as we know…SVT decided to come back this year and make it count and boy did we ever need him. Big Hustle, to you I salute you sir!
9) Luke Hancock: Lukeeeeeeeeeee (11 e's because he is #11, duh) Luke is without a shadow of a doubt the most impactful transfer I can remember with Clifford Rozier being my #1 prior. The guy who single handedly turned around the NCAA title game after we got Spike'd (I still don't believe it).
and just like that, and a Trezl dunk, in a blink of an eye Louisville came back to beat Michigan for it's 3rd NCAA title. Thank you to the M.O.P. of the NCAA Final Four Luke Hancock. After losing his dad and playing for our country this past summer, Luke looks like he's in Luke Tourney form from last year. Thanks again Luke….you will be remembered forever….
WBB: Louisville vs UConn – Part 3
Jeff Walz and the Louisville Cardinals will get another shot at the top ranked and undefeated UConn Huskies on Monday night in the Championship game of the AAC Tournament. Last Monday, UConn defeated Louisville 68-48 at the KFC Yum! Center. Back in February in Storrs, UConn won 81-64. Everyone knows this will be a tall task for the Cards.
"We know in order to beat them we have to play a great game at the defensive end of the floor because they score so well. We'll have to figure out a way to score. You've got to put 70 on the board yourself and I don't think they've allowed 70 all year."
In their first matchup, UConn's Breanna Stewart had 24 points and 10 rebounds. A week ago in the last meeting she had 22 points and 14 rebounds. Even with those big numbers, she has only shot a combined 18-41 (43.9%) in those two games. It just seems like the shots that she does hit are at crucial times in the game and they feel bigger.
Women's Basketball picked 2nd in American Athletic Conference
The Louisville Cardinals women's basketball team was picked to finish 2nd this season in the American Athletic Conference behind defending National Champion UConn. Here is the official press release from GoCards.com.
The University of Louisville women's basketball team was picked to finish second in the 2013-14 American Athletic Conference regular-season title. The selection was made by the league's 10 head coaches, who were not permitted to select their own teams. Shoni Schimmel, Antonita Slaughter and Sara Hammond were selected to the preseason all-conference team.
Louisville was picked to finish second in The American after the Cardinals finished last year as the national runner up. Preseason All-Conference selections Slaughter and Schimmel return to lead the team as seniors this season. Schimmel led the team last year with 14.2 ppg and 136 assists, while Slaughter was third on the team with 10.1 ppg and a .358 3-point shooting percentage. Hammond, also an All-Conference honoree, was second on the team with 10.8 ppg and averaged a team-leading 6.4 rebounds per game.

Musical destination: Tromso, Norway
Arctic Opera
Formed only last year, the company's highlight for 2012 is a production of Puccini's La bohème in April and May, conducted by Christian Lindberg and featuring the players of the Arctic Phil in the pit.
Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra
Given the tricky logistics of getting its far-flung players together, the Arctic Phil's performances at Tromsø's Kulturhuset are relatively few and far between but, on the evidence so far, well worth hearing.
Tromsø Chamber Orchestra
Formerly the Tromsø Symphony Orchestra, this ensemble recently downsized to become northern Norway's only professional chamber orchestra and performs regularly both in the city and across the region.
Top of the World
This bi-annual international piano competition for players under 35 was founded in 2009 and in 2011 offered a not-to-besniffed- at $30,000 first prize, won by Alberto Nosé (above) of Italy. The next competition takes place from 24 to 29 June 2013.

Album Notes
With Terminal Pharmacy, Jim O'Rourke creates a soundscape so calm and minimal that some people, lacking patience for the seeming formlessness, could do entirely without it, while others will find themselves repeatedly putting it in their CD player at home, work, or wherever they need warmth dispersed throughout the air. Seeping steadily from the edge of silence comes crackles, thin fuzz, and extended string tones. Less narrative than what "electro-acoustic" usually refers to, "Cede" hums at the back of your mind. Given almost a minute of silence in between, the second piece then begins; sounding like a very quiet improvisation, the instruments whisper bowed rounds, a conversation in tininess that grows bolder at moments. ~ Joslyn Layne

12 Empowering Expectations for Stepmoms
Anything ring a bell from your own personal list of expectations? This was my list back in 1996. As naive as I was I was still quite enthused and eager to do whatever I had to for us all to be happy together. Chances are good that a few of these expectations are (or were) on your list too. Many of you know how frustrating, painful and disheartening these unfulfilled expectations can be and how despair can take root when we don't know what to do about these feelings and/or how to improve our situation. [EXPERT]
12 Wise & Achievable Expectations For Stepmoms
Here are some new expectations to consider. You may need to read them a few times as this is a shift from "Happy Family Fantasy" to a "Happy sense of self & strong loving connection with husband no matter how others act Dream." [EXPERT]
- Make doing your best your number one expectation! Recognize that your best will vary under different circumstances. Mute the voice of your inner perfectionist. Turn on the faucet of kindness and shower yourself regularly with huge doses of patience and compassion. Expect challenges to your self-esteem and use that pressure to become stronger. You need to be able to count on yourself. Do your best in a thoughtful, respectful and fair way so you can be proud of yourself at the end of each day and in hindsight.
- Expect that your husband may NOT be able or willing to stand up for you and your right to be involved in your stepkids' lives because of his desire to minimize conflict with his ex-wife. As you and your husband begin your life together, find out what he is (and is not) willing to do to support your involvement in his kids' life, public and private. Talk specifics even if it's scary or uncomfortable. Being aware of this possibility can prepare you and help reduce the shock of any unilateral decisions he makes out of fear or divorce guilt.
- Expect that his feelings about the divorce will impact how he treats you, his ex-wife and his children. Do what you can to take nothing personally. See "The Four Agreements" pages 47-61.
- Expect to stand up for yourself instead of anticipating that your husband will consistently do so. Be courageous and willing to defend your personal boundaries. Expect that your willingness to rock other people's emotional boats, by taking a stand and speaking up appropriately on your own behalf, will reduce resentments and marital stress in the long run.
- Expect that if the bio-mom is angry with her ex-husband that it's going to rub off on her interactions with you. Be smart, versus naïve about how and when you interact with her. Trust your husband when he tells you that he knows her better than you do. See my article, "His Kids:HIS Call" for more details.
- Expect that your husband is NOT always going to be able to understand how you're feeling. Seek and expect to get compassion and validation from other stepmoms whenever necessary. This takes a lot of pressure off your husband, non-stepmom friends and family. See SMOMS.org for bulletin board community.
- Expect that you're going to have moments when you question your sanity about getting into this relationship. In these moments of hurt or anger, suspend any self-judgments and switch over to self-care strategies. Acknowledging the expectation of negative feelings will reduce some of the panic and fear that surfaces if/when those thoughts ever come to mind. Questioning your own judgment about getting into the relationship when you're feeling out of control, outraged and/or in deep emotional pain is a real, reactionary pain-numbing thought. Again, not bad or wrong, just human. See my article, "Feeling Judgemental?" http://www.smoms.org/smomsbb/showthread.php?tid=33471
- Expect that you're going to feel out of control, angry, hurt and left out at some point in this relationship so take action right now to prepare for these feelings! Be proactive. Learn healthy ways to process your feelings and to heal from emotional wounds.
- Expect that you're going to have a positive and healthy relationship with your skids. Be willing to do your part, while holding onto your power, your boundaries and your right to be treated with respect. Give it 100% while remembering that you are only 50% of each adult-child relationship.
- Expect that your skids are going to be emotionally shaken up, to varying degrees, by the divorce and will probably lash out at you when they're feeling angry or feel that the stepmom has exercised her authority as the woman of the house or their father's wife.
- Expect that the bio-mom's behavior at the beginning of this relationship is highly indicative of how it's going to remain throughout your lives together. Trust that she'll continue with the very same behavior until she consistently doesn't.
- Expect that you and your husband have, or will get, the skills, energy and love needed to create a wonderful life together and let the form (specifics) that your life takes be flexible and fluid. [EXPERT]
You may be thinking, "how can we have these expectations and be realistic too?" This is a good and necessary question. Switching to many of these new expectations requires a new level of self-awareness, time to grieve and the acceptance that no matter how hard we try, we can't force others to get along with us. As enraging as that can feel, we can use the energy of that anger to fuel our new expectations. We can be realistic AND optimistic by placing a higher value (and more attention) on what we can do to hold onto our self-esteem and stay connected to our husband as events involving our stepkids and their bio-mom occur. [EXPERT]
Ideally we start to focus less attention on the specific details of how our desired future will look and how others have to act in order to accomplish those goals and instead put more attention on how we'll interact and stay connected to our loved ones whatever happens. We can be realistically optimistic because our expectations are now about how we're going to respond to and handle whatever happens to us. We have control over that. We can prepare and be alert to the actions of others and still be true to our own values and the loving connection with our husbands. This good news gives us confidence and makes us feel good about our future and therefore better from moment to moment in our daily lives. As we take control of our ability to meet our expectations, we give others less ability to destroy our dreams. This is empowering at a very deep level. [EXPERT]
Unlike what so many books say, I don't think it's about raising or lowering our expectations. I think it needs to be less about the exact specifics of the destination we seek within our new stepfamily situation and more about our choices and the experiences of the journey from day to day. While we may not get to live the "happy family dream" exactly as we imagined it at the beginning, with all anticipated joy of stepkids and bio-moms getting along and treating us with respect and kindness, we will have the awareness, the ability and the energy to create expectations that lead to a happy, hope-filled life with the man we so dearly love.

What is the official name of the OPN1LW gene?The official name of this gene is "opsin 1 (cone pigments), long-wave-sensitive." OPN1LW is the gene's official symbol. The OPN1LW gene is also known by other names, listed below. Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page. What is the normal function of the OPN1LW gene?The OPN1LW gene provides instructions for making a protein that is essential for normal color vision. This gene is active in the retina, a light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina contains two types of light receptor cells called rods and cones. Rods are responsible for vision in low light. Cones provide vision in bright light, including color vision. Three types of cones each contain a special pigment (a photopigment) that is most sensitive to a particular wavelength of light. The OPN1LW gene produces a photopigment that is more sensitive to light at the red end of the visible spectrum. Cones with this pigment are usually called long-wavelength-sensitive or L cones. In response to light at long wavelengths, the photopigment triggers a series of chemical reactions within an L cone cell. These reactions ultimately alter the cell's electrical charge, generating a signal that is transmitted to the brain. The brain combines input from all three types of cones to produce normal color vision. The long-wavelength-sensitive pigment gene (OPN1LW) and the middle-wavelength-sensitive pigment gene (OPN1MW) are very similar and are located close together on the X chromosome. Most people have one copy of the OPN1LW gene and one or more copies of the OPN1MW gene. A nearby region of DNA, known as the locus control region (LCR), regulates the activity of these genes. Only the two pigment genes nearest the LCR are active in the retina. Does the OPN1LW gene share characteristics with other genes?The OPN1LW gene belongs to a family of genes called GPCR (G protein-coupled receptors). A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics. Classifying individual genes into families helps researchers describe how genes are related to each other. For more information, see What are gene families? in the Handbook. How are changes in the OPN1LW gene related to health conditions?
Where is the OPN1LW gene located?Cytogenetic Location: Xq28 Molecular Location on the X chromosome: base pairs 154,144,223 to 154,159,031 The OPN1LW gene is located on the long (q) arm of the X chromosome at position 28. More precisely, the OPN1LW gene is located from base pair 154,144,223 to base pair 154,159,031 on the X chromosome. See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? in the Handbook.
