TrinityHairMedium BrownDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLovin It!I tried this product and I absolutely loved it! it brought just enough shine to my hair without looking or feeling greasy! it smells fantastic too! totally unique, and it makes me feel like im in a salon or spa. also, it gets rid of any staticy hair that i may have and lasts. usually the spray in conditioners or a random product that advertises that it will reduce or get rid of static and they just don't. this doesn't even advertise it and it works completely! i absolutely love this product and use it all the time. this product is amazing!!posted Feb 14, 2011Link to this post

DizzyIs This A Recalled Product?I tried this product and it has just made my hair greasy. I experienced dizziness after using this. I am currently waiting for my doctor's appt. because my dizziness has not gone away. Looking in the ingredients, I noticed it says: Low VOCs (volatile organic compounds). I am very sensitive to chemicals so I am certain this is the cause of my dizziness. Anyone have similar experience?posted Mar 3, 2010Link to this post
KerriMadison, WIIt's OkayI wish it had a little more substance. The positive is that it's very light, but that's also part of the negative. I have thicker hair and unless I use a good amount I don't really notice I've used it.posted Jan 22, 2010Link to this post
JennShine Is Ok But Smell Is Unbearable...Im used to smelling various hair/perfume/ect/ products, since I always use a lot of things that have some kind of smell, like hairspray, perfume, ect., but the smell of the BioSilk Silk Therapy Shine On is just UNBEARABLE! Ive tried it for 3 days, and the smell gives me a huge headache. The first time I tried it a couple of days ago I almost choked; it was that awful! The shine is pretty good, but my hair still looks dry. I have thin hair and use a lot of heat products, and I thought this would leave my damaged hair looking glossy and shiny. The shine was OK but barely noticeable. Im planning on returning it today. If you cant stand the smell of hairsprays and such, then dont get this product, because this is like the smell of hairspray x10.posted Jul 30, 2009Link to this post
KristenSomething To ConsiderIm not entirely sure if this is from Farouk(?) but I am thinking it is. The name Biosilk rings a bell. On to what the reader needs to know-- I absolutely adored this shine spray(and I do not use those terms loosely) It provides an extremely sheer cover that makes hair radiate. I have moderately thick, super curly, long hair. Frizzy as well! My hair doesnt lack shine by any means, but it definitely never hurts to boost it! Often I would use this product when using a flat-iron, for those damned things seem to strip my natural shine. I highly recommend this product, it is one of best out on the market.. when pertaining to shine that is. Its brilliant, trust me. If anyone is an Ebayer, search for Farouk Systems Shine on Spray, it works wonders upon wonders.posted Jul 8, 2008Link to this post

JerseygirlStickyI THOUGHT THIS PRODUCT WAS A GOOD HAIR SHEEN SPRAY. IT IS MAINLY FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A HAIR SPRAY WITHOUT LEAVING THEIR HAIR LOOKING STICKY OR DRY. IT COVERS WELL, ITS A LIGHT HAIR SPRAY AND ADDS A SHEEN. I WOULD NOT PURCHASE IT JUST FOR THE SHEEN ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO NOT NEED A FINISHING SPRAY ( NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT). TRY FRIEDA 100% HAIR SHINE. IT SEALS THE ENDS AND ADDS A LASTING GLOSS THAT IS NOT OILY LOOKING.posted Aug 24, 2007Link to this post
KendallConnecticutGreat Product!This is a great product for getting my hair smooth and shiny. I have very light blonde hair and often have a problem with styling products darkening my hair.

A little about me, I was born in Duluth. My Grandpa Irv got me started in recording, showing me reel to reel and other tricks of the trade. That's when the bug hit me. I wanted to talk on the radio.

I enjoy music, both listening and writing it. My Favorite artists are Van Halen, Michael W. Smith, Def Leppard, Evanescense, Garth Brooks, Gary Allan, Sara Evans, Kellie Pickler, The Beatles.....ok, I could go on and on here, basically, I like good music no matter what it is. My favorite movies are, 'The Crow', 'Forrest Gump', 'Stealing Home', and 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. My favorite color is Black; my fav food is mac and cheese with turkey burger in it.

DoD carries weight of governmentwide small business goal
Tuesday - 10/9/2012, 8:00am EDT
(This story is part one of Federal News Radio's special report, The Small Business Dilemma.)
For the federal government to finally hit its 23 percent small business goal, the Defense Department will have to step up its efforts to contract with small firms. But the nature of DoD's large contracts often leave out small companies.
In four of the last five years, if DoD had made its small business contracting goal, the federal government would have hit its overall goal. In fiscal 2011, the government fell $5.4 billion short. The Defense Department, with a goal of 22.28 percent for small business contracting that year, missed its mark by $7.2 billion. Each agency negotiates with the Small Business Administration its own small business prime-contracting goal.
Defense contracts make up two-thirds of the entire government's contracting expenditures. DoD is best known for buying planes, tanks and ships — often products and services out of the scope of small companies. Last year, for example, DoD spent tens of billions of dollars across 11 product codes that included everything from guided space missiles to space vehicles. Of that, less than 1 percent went to small businesses.
That doesn't mean the Pentagon is abdicating its influence or responsibility. DoD is finding ways of carving out a space for small firms on large contracts and targeting businesses for certain industries, but it has been a challenging endeavor for the agency.
Small business contracting challenges
Budget uncertainties in recent years have created extra hurdles for small businesses. The continuing resolution was "the single largest negative impact to us" in fiscal 2011, said Andre Gudger, the director of DoD's Office of Small Business Programs.
The uncertainty cuts the time agencies have for doing acquisition forecasting that can help identify small business opportunities.
"It's critical for us as a department to modernize and enhance our industrial base to make sure we have enough capable companies to deliver what we want to buy."
— Andre Gudger,
Director of DoD's Office of Small Business Programs
Additionally, Recovery Act funds — more than 30 percent of which went to small businesses — expired last year.
A more long-term challenge is DoD's need to buy large weapons systems, leaving less procurement dollars available for small business contracts.
These large weapons systems contracts potentially could be broken down into small contracts, "but it takes a lot of effort and it takes a lot of time" on the part of the acquisition workforce, said Linda Hillmer, chairwoman of the Small Business Division of the National Defense Industrial Association.
The department — like the rest of the federal government — has struggled with maintaining a well-trained acquisition workforce, especially with new employees expected to enter the workforce in coming years. A 2008 Government Accountability Office report found 55 percent of the acquisition workforce will be eligible to retire in 2018.
"The acquisition workforce, their job is to get those contracts out and to get them out according to law. For them to find small businesses and try to hunt down small businesses and then qualify small businesses — it takes a lot of time," Hillmer said. "Traditionally, the Department of Defense has not rewarded that kind of effort. I think things are changing now throughout the federal government and they are trying to reward small business contracts, but there's a long way to go."
The department has made up the shortcoming in weapons systems by devoting more small business dollars to other areas, such as facilities management and research and development.
But this scenario puts DoD in the position of "defining the market space," said Stan Soloway, president of the Professional Services Council.
"If I'm a larger company ... that has an expertise in facilities maintenance, that market is slowly but surely closed off to any other-than-small or very large facilities contract," Soloway said.
Opportunities in subcontracting
The department has had more success in subcontracting to small businesses. In 2010 and 2011, DoD exceeded its subcontracting goal of 31.7 percent — hitting 35.2 percent in fiscal 2011 and 37.3 percent in fiscal 2010.
"[Being a subcontractor], you generally don't get to meet with the client yourself, so you don't get to form that very important relationship that in the future could result in a prime contract directly to the small business."
— Linda Hillmer,
Chairwoman, Small Business Division, National Defense Industrial Association

The GNU Project is a free software, mass collaboration project, announced on September 27, 1983, by Richard Stallman at MIT. It initiated GNU operating system development in January, 1984. The founding goal of the project was, in the words of its initial announcement, to develop "a sufficient body of free software [...] to get along without any software that is not free." To make this happen, the GNU Project began working on an operating system called GNU ("GNU" is a recursive acronym that stands for "GNU's Not Unix"). This goal of making a free software operating system was achieved in 1992 when the last gap in the GNU system, a kernel, was filled by the third-party Linux kernel being released as Free Software, under version 2 of the GNU GPL. Current work of the GNU Project includes software development, awareness building, political campaigning and sharing of the new material. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: GNU)

Non-Isothermal Flow Around a Cooling Device
Application ID: 22
This model shows the application of COMSOL Multiphysics in the modeling of non-isothermal laminar flow of fluids (in this case a gas). The model assumes that the expansion work done by the gas is negligible, that the variations in temperature are obtained through external heating, and that the fluid is an ideal gas.
The model treats the steady flow of a gas over a fin, which is heated by an external heat source. The heat balance includes the domain of the fin and of the gas.
The model exemplifies several very useful COMSOL Multiphysics features. This includes the ability to use Equation-based modeling to make density, and viscosity, a function of temperature.

Editors' Review
+Driver updates? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," describes how many users feel about updating their system's drivers, but these important bits of software tell your PC's components what to do, and it's wise, sometimes critical, to update them regularly. SlimDrivers Free is a simple tool that uses cloud-based scans to identify, download, and help you install driver updates for your system. It creates a personal profile that remembers your drivers and downloads the right ones automatically when you scan your system.
SlimDrivers Free's simple, colorful interface advised us to begin by scanning our system, so we did. The process involves two steps, scanning for updates and reviewing the findings. SlimDrivers found two updates, which doesn't sound like much, but we keep our test system up-to-date. We selected the first update for downloading and chose to ignore the other for the time being. SlimDrivers not only downloaded the update but also unzipped and started it. Better still, it created a restore point and backup so that we could easily roll back any changes it made.
The update wizard is the same one we'd have downloaded had we visited the vendor's site. We needed to click OK now and then to complete the update process, but in no time we'd downloaded and installed both updates. Scanning again showed that our system was up-to-date with no more updates available. Running Windows Update found nothing SlimDrivers had missed. From the program's toolbar we could uninstall drivers, restore changes, back up our drivers, submit drivers for checking, and access the options, including scheduling automatic update scans and viewing the log files. Product support includes an online forum.
Updated drivers help keep your system running safely and smoothly. SlimDrivers Free certainly helps simplify what can be a complex, piecemeal process that some people find intimidating. Every driver's update process is different, and you'll need to pay attention during the process to click OK and allow the update to proceed at various points. Some updates may require a reboot, too. But if you simply follow each update's instructions, you'll be fine, with SlimDrivers Free's help.
Publisher's Description
+SlimDrivers automatically updates PC drivers with real-time scanning and cloud technology. The first cloud-based utility for updating and maintaining drivers, SlimDrivers provides instant optimization of the interaction between a computer and its system components and periperhals, such as printers, graphic and sound cards, motherboards, USB ports, game controllers and other devices and hardware. SlimDrivers scans a PC, identifies the correct drivers needed, and retrieves them from the cloud, automatically installing the most current, precise drivers for each individual PC. SlimDrivers features a one-click, start scan button on its product homepage, which begins the process automatically to scan a PC and identify out-of-date or broken drivers. Then, seamlessly, SlimDrivers creates a personalized driver profile of that PC, and accesses the online cloud database for the most up-to-date, customized driver software.
SlimDrivers starts the installation process automatically, immediately improving the performance of peripheral devices and maintaining the integrity of communication between software and hardware. Because SlimDrivers uses a cloud database, consumers have automated access to the most current updates for their PC drivers, alleviating the need to search the Web for updates or determine whether their drivers need repair. In real-time, SlimDrivers detects when a driver becomes out-dated, then serves and installs the most recent versions, customized for that individual PC. SlimDrivers updates driver software for all popular computer device brands and works on 32 and 64 bit Windows platforms.
What's new in this version:
Version 2.2.24428.29547 includes minor bug fixes, improvements to the cloud communication system, and updates to the Privacy Policies and End User Licence Agreement.

Mathew Clarke, Hamburg MUN (December 2012), "In December 2012 I went to Hamburg to take part in a Model United Nations (MUN) Conference with the MUN Society at the University. The experience was eye opening allowing me see how to apply the topics I had learnt at Birmingham to a real world event. While I had been to other non-MUN conferences, which were not with the university, both in the UK and around the world this was a truly unique event."
Ana Alecsandru, UNA Youth Conference - New Nuclear Realities (February 2013), "This event allowed me to gain an insight into the challenges facing the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. The programme included interactive discussions with high profile nuclear professionals regarding the current situation of the international non-proliferation regime and the nuclear disarmament under the auspices of the United Nations and IAEA."
Georgiana Chiriac, Harvard Model United Nations (February 2013), "Overall, This opportunity was excellent for me and for the entire delegation in terms of gaining knowledge and expertise at the highest level, as well as with regards to personal growth and development."

How should the lives of people earning a dollar a day change? Should they earn 2 dollars, a hundred dollars, should they get enough to buy a car? Is it enough to just give them an extra dollar to get them out of that category? This sounds like domestic policies for those countries and should be made by those countries.
How about we all start taking care of the United States first. We should not be giving away taxpayer $'s to foreign countries at all. We have decaying infrastructue her at home that will take trillions to bring up to date. We have poverty here at home too. We have 10's of thousands of homeless people, unemployment due to jobs lost to third world countries. What I don't understand why the people in this country continue to re-elect national politicians who are hell-bent on bringing the United States down to third world status. They're destroying our country around us and we sit here allowing that to happen. Are we as stupid as the politicians in Washington think? I hope not! Its time to wake up America and take back our country from the 535 assholes we elected to serve us who aren't doing just that! we can start by rejecting all incumbents for re-election. Vote for a new guy, maybe an independent. God knows the jackasses and mastedons aren't doing our bidding. They only serve themselves. We need to elect a Congress and a President who really will represent "WE THE PEOPLE".
Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates from
U.S. Global Leadership Campaign Tribute Dinner on July 15, 2008"It has become clear that America's civilian institutions of diplomacy and development have been chronically undermanned and underfunded for far too long – relative to what we traditionally spend on the military, and more important, relative to the responsibilities and challenges our nation has around the world."
"I cannot pretend to know the right dollar amount – I know it's a good deal more than the one percent of the federal budget that it is right now. But the budgets we are talking about are relatively small compared to the rest of the government, steep increase of these capabilities is well within reach – as long as there is the political will and wisdom to do it."
"And, for the first time in a long time, I sense real bipartisan support in Congress for strengthening the civilian foreign affairs budget."FIRST: this bill appropriates NO NEW MONEY
SECOND: combating conditions that fuel terrorism is HELPING AMERICA FIRST.
How is this bill a "Gloabal Tax" if no new money is distributed or charged to the American public?
Since when did this become a liberal issue? This should be a human issue. I am a fiscal consevative that why i supporty making our foreign aid more effective with the money we already appropriate. how can you not love this bill?
Also like someone else said, fighting international poverty MAY be more effective at combating terroism then the (fiscally irresponsible) trillion dollar Iraq War.
how come noble republicans advocate the "liberation" of the Iraqis from pain of dictatorship, costing over a trillion dollars. This was OUR MORAL IMPERATIVE. but then, a bill that would cost only a million dollars to implement (congressional budget office—-non partisian) to releive the pain of millions of impoverished people around the world is SOMEHOW WASTEFUL? WHAT?
People this is how we can lead the worlds stage, and get our bang for our buck.
You obviously didn't read it either. I quote "(9) At the summit of the Group of Eight (G-8) nations in July 2005, leaders from all eight participating countries committed to increase aid to Africa from the current $25,000,000,000 annually to $50,000,000,000 by 2010, and to cancel 100 percent of the debt obligations owed to the World Bank, African Development Bank, and International Monetary Fund by 18 of the world's poorest nations."
Americans in general have given over $2.5 billion annually to support the poor around the world. The problem is that the UN who gets to spend these funds gave $500 million to N. Korea without any accounting for how the money is spent. This raises serious questions about how this money will be used and for what purpose. I think this bill needs to be killed on the floor and a much better version put together. Maybe the Gates Foundation people could provide some lessons as they are getting value for each dollar spent. A serious question to be raised also is what has happened to the $50 billion America has already donated in Africian nations. I think we need better accountability.
One would think that the UN would try to enforce responsible governments rather than continiuos donations from the rich to give to the poor. How many hundreds of years are donations going to be taking place? The EU poured about $100 billion into the former Eastern Block countries and each of them have taken off and created working economic wonders. Africa has been given $500 billion in aid, has oil, diamonds, other natural resources and yet depends on aid from the UN? Where are the responsible governments? They borrow money for development and then get the debts eliminated by the UN, IMF, etc. Something is wrong with this picture. The US gives hundreds of millions away to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's)for the very same reason, not to even mention direct USAID. I think the entire situation needs to be thought through very carefully before this commitment is made to the UN.
Let Nancy save the planet, by herself. Congress is elected to serve the American people. This bill is above BHO's pay scale. Put it to a vote of the people, so congress can see what mainstream American's think of how congress spends our money. Perhaps if more people are aware of what they are up to they would get voted out.

When are we ever going to learn that we can't buy friends. History has proven that all of the money we have ever sent to help the poor ends up into the pockets of the corrupt people that run those countries, and the people of those countries never even know that we have sent it because the crooks in those countries run the media also.
I am not against helping the people but we need to find a better way to help rather than making millionaires or billionaires out of a few corrupt heads of state and their cronies.
What we really need is a grass roots movement to get the crooks and the ego maniacs out of Washington DC.
As for Barack Obama, it is very scary to me that a large percentage of this country does not seem to care that he has held these relationships with these radicals against America for so long and had his Harvard Education financed by Saudi's. Exactly which country does he love and who is he really working for?
JK in Montana
I really don't care what the good cause or which side of the aisle thought this one up— the President and the Senate and the House work for the people of the US and they have no business working for other countries or entities (including but not limited to the UN).
It is bad enough that they think the job is to take money from some of the citizens and give it to others by force. My God, this is beyond belief.
Obama is the PIED PIPER of socialism, take from those with the greater ability and give to those with the greater need. Communism 101 and he's a proponent. He wants to give the U.N. the 845 billion with S.2344 and also proposed the Citizenshp Promotion Act S.795 which will cost us 80 million to advertise to aliens to sign up for taxpayer funded English classes, education and citizenship classes, provide legal assistance for citizenship and right to vote. I've been a reg. Democrat for 30yrs, but I say vote for HERO over ZERObama! For STRAIGHT TALK over JIVE TALK! Vote McCain/Palin and keep this baby Robt. Mugabe out of the White House
This is not a new idea! In 2000, 180 nations of the world, including the United States, agreed to a platform of action, known ans the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, They include targets for education, healthcare, environmental sustainability, etc, all interconnected and related to poverty and designed to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015. This bill is only putting the rubber to the road to what the U.S. has promised and gotten behind the 8 goals. Great strides have been made. People of all faiths, political persuasions, races, genders, corporations, etc. are working hard towards the MDG's. Do your homework. Check out the U.N. web site. Please don't make this a political problem. 30 senators, Rep. & Dem, are behind this bill because Poverty has no bias; only people do.
HikingtheBlueI feel bad for people starving in other counties but am not sure how to help them. We sent food aid to the philipines, haiti, ethiopia and many other countries we sent them free food but allowed their governments to sell the food to make money for the governments, the governments sold the food at lower prices then local farmers and ranchers could afford to produce food so that put them out of business which has increased their need for aid. So in trying to help we made things worse so now they need more help. I do not know what the answer is. By giving food to people we have made it so that the people in those countries that produced food can no longer afford to produce food and now have to buy food from there governments. The governments get the food free but now that there is no local production they can charge more for the food.
It may be a ingenious strategy to make it so that these countries can no longer feed them selves with out our help but the idea of using food as a weapon seems unethical to me. me.
- Is this the "change and Hope" that we can count on? I was very, very very angry when I read this bill. I cannot believe…the …Audacity…To put everyone else first…before your own country…when Americans are out of jobs, When Americans are losing their homes…What about us?!?!?! G
I vote against this bill, but not for the reasons you might think. I believe that the poor should be helped, but it seems to me that the United States would be incapable of helping them. The US is increasingly dominated by corporations, and it seems to me that these corporations are looking for laborers. Therefore they wish to mold these foreign poor into Americans – bent on mindless consumption, filled with corporate propaganda from the corporate Hollywood, and so forth. I think that these countries should be allowed to develop according to their own traditions. What the United States should do is pursue better economic and foreign policies. Look for instance at the extremely negative effect the US invasion of Iraq has had on their people. The Iraqi's are a dispossed people, robbed of their natural resources by an unjust faction of militants who have seized control of the United States government. The true colors are shown here, and this gives away the intention that the United States has in this bill. Furthermore, the United States should not fight socialism at every turn. Socialism seeks to provide a better distribution of wealth in society. Capitalism does not. So the United States fighting socialism belies its intentions to help the poor. Look at what Chavez has done by investing his nations oil wealth in the poor. I write this article, not to be mean to the United States, but to accurately present what I believe would help the poor the most. I find that the United States seems to tailor its policy according to what benefits the rich more than the poor. If I am in error, I apologize.
If this bill passes the US will have to agree to the UN's Millenium Declaration which has connotations all of their own. This would require the US to rewrite many of the laws that we hold near & dear to our hearts such as the 2nd amendment. The US would also have to agree to the Convention of the Rights of the Child, which was proposed in 1989 and the US is one of the last members of the UN that is refusing to sign this, and for good some very valid reasons. If this bill passes it will allow the UN to have more power over the US than it needs or should ever have. And on the poverty issue, the US needs to take care of the poverty stricken here at home before sending any more money oversea's.

Has anyone even read the UN Resolution on Global Poverty to cut poverty in half by 2015? It doesn't seem so by these comments. We are in a global economy. What we do here effects/affects the whole world, including those most in need. If you want to see what can be done by one person at a time, look at The Heifer Project online which supports projects IN THE USA, as well. It does not give handouts to financially blackmail the receipent, but does things like provide a flock of chickens for food, eggs, and small business income. This is just one example of what can be done with little effort to lift people from poverty AND KEEP THEM FROM BEING EXPLOITED. Please do the research. It is a small world after all.
Where is this money coming from? We are almost $13 Trillion Dollars in ourselves and we are going to try to eliminate povert in Africa. How about Nigeria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq taking care of their neighbors in Africa and Asia. Where in our Constitution and when did we as the American people agree to solve world poverty? Also I would like to know all the contributions the rest of the world has forwarded to the US to help us out with 9-11, Katrina and IKE!
I'm stupid, explain this to me like I'm a five year old…
Do you honestly believe the President alone has that much power? And, if so, that would mean our CHECKS and BALANCES system is flawed.How would we fix that? By electing another Democrat or Republican?
The problems we face today are from the GREED at the top.
How do we stop that?
Bill Clinton gave a speech to feed the world and end poverty. All these foreign aid bills which are now five year tripled budgets are because of that speech. Obama is just making him keep his word.
So, we went broke giving away 100s of billions. Check the loans we forgave since 1996, 80 billion. We could bail ourselves out on the new five year foreign aid budgets, but we already committed which was Obama's plan.
OBAMA is the great BLACK GOD (greater than any GOD today). The great black devil will kill him.
NOW is a good time to leave the u.s.a. (YOU.NAZI.STATE)country. The nazi USA will bomb its own country to declare war on the world. This is the first step for the nazi U.S.A to en-slave the world. move to another country (safer), arm your self with WMA and death. fighting the nazi from with-in is the jobs of The American people. The war will be won by the people, if the people start infecting the nazi USA computer with virus. destroy street cameras and be safe about it. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU, BEFORE YOU DO, and avoid pigs contact stay off the streets. get a pre-paid phone, less likely to track. Remember not to hurt ANY people, you must step on any government puppets. anyone who support the nazi usa government must be dealt with. People are only smart if you feel them infor. Be VERY quite about DEATH.
DEATH IS THE GREATEST GIFT, GIVEN TO MAN. DEATH IS GUARANTEE, SO WHY DO YOU WANT LIFE?. YOU WILL DIE ANY WAY. PRAYING TO GOD IS ASKING FOR THE DEVIL HELP. WE ARE ALL DEVILS WITH-IN but with GOOD INTENTION…LOL.

Monarchs Splash Page
The Sacramento Monarchs would like to thank their fans for 13 amazing and successful seasons in the WNBA.
As one of the league's original eight teams in 1997, the Monarchs were a perennial power in the Western Conference, making nine trips to the playoffs, winning the WNBA championship in 2005 and the Western Conference crown in 2006. None of it would have been possible without the support of the community and the team's faithful following.
A Dispersal Draft involving Sacramento Monarchs players took place on Monday, Dec. 14. The league is still seeking to add a team to the Bay Area for the 2011 season. For the latest information, please visit WNBA.com.

A biology professor from the University of Colorado, Boulder, is scheduled to speak at Fort Lewis College next week about how environmental changes will affect regional plants and animals.
The presentation is part of a three-day visit that will have Tim Seastedt talk with U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management managers as well.
Seastedt's talk at FLC is "Remaking the Rockies: Local and Regional Implications of Environmental Change," set to start at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Berndt Hall. Admission is free.
"I will report on how some 'strange bedfellows' – increased carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the atmosphere, along with extreme events like drought and more or less frequent wildfires – are altering our plant and animal communities from the plains to the alpine regions of the Rockies," Seastedt said by telephone Wednesday.
"These changes can be good or bad news for various plant and animal species," said Seastedt, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. "These changes also are affecting our water supplies and other commodities provided by natural areas."
In Southwest Colorado, the effects of warming temperature can be seen in beetle-killed trees, drought and wildfires.
The effects of increasing temperatures is important, Marcie Demy Bidwell, director of the Mountain Studies Institute, one of the sponsors of Seastedt's visit, said Wednesday.
She said researcher Imtiaz Rangwala, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Western Water Assessment, worked with the institute to evaluate historic trends in temperature in the San Juan Mountains using local data. "He evaluated measurements from the last 100 years. The temperature in Southwest Colorado has, indeed, warmed about 1 degree Celsius or 2 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 30 years," Bidwell said.
She also said David Inouye at Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory near Crested Butte has been monitoring marmots for the last 40 years, and marmots now emerge in spring 38 days earlier than they did 40 years ago.
Inouye also found that robins arrive in Southwest Colorado about 14 days earlier than in 1975, Bidwell said.
Seastedt is also a fellow at the Boulder-based Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research. He is particularly interested in invasive species and how they interact with other components of global environmental change.
"People tend to blame invasive species," Seastedt said. "But (invasive plants are) only responding to climate change."
Seastedt expects a lot of his time with Forest Service and BLM managers will be dedicated to invasive species. He also will talk with school students in Silverton.

Tetra-Shed: An office pod for your backyard (and more)
Possible configurations of Tetra-Shed modules (Image: Tetra-Shed)
Article Summary
Now here's an exciting piece of design. At first glance the Tetra-Shed, designed by architect David Ajasa-Adekunle, looks like the ideal hypermodern outdoor studio for the hipster home-worker. That it may be, but the Tetra-Shed's modular design means that (space, money and imagination allowing) there's no limit to the number of units that can be connected together, literally opening up the Tetra-Shed to a vast array of possible uses.
