/ New Jersey Envirothon
The annual New Jersey Envirothon is an exciting, hands-on outdoor competition that takes place in May each year in New Jersey. Teams of high school students prepare throughout the academic year with their advisors, studying soils, aquatics, forestry, wildlife and environmental issues under the guidance of conservation partnership staff.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service works closely with the New Jersey Association of Conservation Districts (NJACD), a lead sponsor of the competition and other environmental education activities in New Jersey. To find out more about the Envirothon in New Jersey, contact Richard Belcher at 609-633-2549.
Congratulations to Marine Academy of Science and Technology (MAST), Team #1, winners at the soils station at the 2013 New Jersey Envirothon.
Cayla Jordan, Grace McIlvain, Alexander Noonan, Emily Chen, and Alexandra Hansen accepted their award from New Jersey State Soil Scientist Richard Shaw and New Jersey State Conservationist Carrie Mosley. Team Advisor, Clare Ng, not pictured.
The Envirothon consists of five separate categories and an oral presentation, listed below. Teams work together on hand-written and hands-on tests at each station. Study guides are available for each category.
More Envirothon information
Sponsors are always welcome. Funding for this wonderful program is limited and we encourage corporate, non-profit and individual sponsorship. Sponsors can participate by donating money, services or products such as lunch, tents, tarps, etc. For information on becoming a Sponsor visit the main NJ Envirothon Page.
The Envirothon competition was developed in the 1980's to encourage young people to learn more about natural resources and their management, and to consider going on to careers in the environmental field. In addition to test questions based on examination of soils, trees, fish, skeletal samples, and other natural resource materials, the teams must give a verbal presentation regarding an environmental issue. New Jersey's top conservation leaders serve as judges for this testing station, which is designed to enhance teamwork as well as critical thinking and verbal presentation skills.
This outdoor event is sponsored annually by a coalition of organizations including NJACD, the State Soil Conservation Committee of the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, New Jersey's 16 Soil Conservation Districts, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and Rutgers Cooperative Extension. Natural resource professionals from these organizations work together throughout the year to develop resource material study guides, local training sessions and the actual testing stations at the event.
For more information contact your local Soil Conservation District Office or Richard Belcher, NJ Envirothon Coordinator Phone: (609) 292-5540, Fax: (609) - 633-7229.

Phillies leaning on Lannan to turn tide in St. Louis
Phils try to halt three-game skid as 60-win Cards start Westbrook
John Lannan turned in two impressive performances before the All-Star break. The Phillies will turn to him Wednesday as they try to snap a three-game skid.
Lannan has gone eight innings in each of his last two starts, and he allowed one run in those 16 innings. The lefty -- who spent two months on the disabled list earlier in the season -- lowered his ERA from 5.15 to 3.76.
The Phillies are still in the process of figuring out what they'll do before next Wednesday's Trade Deadline, so this week proves vital. Despite starting the second half with a 13-run outpouring and a win Friday against the Mets, the Phillies have lost three in a row and remain seven games back in the National League East.
Meanwhile, veteran right-hander Jake Westbrook will take the mound for the Cardinals, who will try to pad their NL-best 60-37 mark.
Westrbook started off his second half with a win Friday against the Padres. He pitched 6 1/3 innings, and also managed a 3-for-3 performance at the plate with a double and an RBI.
"I had a lot of fun out there," Westbrook said of his successful offensive performance. "It was the first time I had run the bases that much since high school."
Phillies: Running low on options in bullpen
The Phillies' bullpen was dealt yet another blow Tuesday as left-handed reliever Joe Savery hit the disabled list with stiffness in his left elbow.
Savery joins Mike Adams, Michael Stutes and Jeremy Horst as Phillies relievers on the DL. The team promoted Raul Valdes from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace Savery. Valdes had a 7.65 ERA in 10 appearances with the Phillies earlier this season.
The Phillies entered Tuesday with a 4.36 bullpen ERA, the third-worst mark in the Majors. Closer Jonathan Papelbon and Antonio Bastardo are the only two relievers on the active roster who have not spent time this season in the Minor Leagues.
It's possible the Phillies will add an arm to their bullpen in the next week or so, and the team is looking at options beyond just trades.
They are one of a handful of teams that will watch free-agent reliever Brian Wilson throw a bullpen session Thursday. Wilson had Tommy John surgery last year, but is a three-time All-Star and helped the Giants win the 2010 World Series.
Cardinals: Holliday plans to return this weekend
Matt Holliday will have to wait a few more days for his DL stint to officially be over, but he said he will be ready to play when he's eligible Saturday.
"I feel like the last couple of days have been just really good," Holliday said Tuesday. "I'll be ready to go [Saturday]. I'm ready to go right now."
The outfielder injured his right hamstring while running out a ground ball on July 11 against the Cubs, and Saturday will be the first day he can return to the Cardinals' lineup.
Holliday, a six-time All-Star, is hitting .268 with 13 homers and 47 RBIs this season.
Worth noting
• With three hits, Phillies second baseman Chase Utley hit safely in his sixth straight game Tuesday. During that span, Utley is hitting .400 (10-for-25), with two home runs and six RBIs.
• The Cardinals won their 60th game of the season Tuesday. They did not win their 60th game of 2012 until Aug. 6.

Strasburg K's 12, Desmond slam caps Nats' sweep
Ace allows one run in 6 2/3; Werth homers again as club finishes Fish
WASHINGTON -- Right-hander Stephen Strasburg had his best start of the season, throwing 6 2/3 solid innings and helping the Nationals beat the Marlins, 7-1, at Nationals Park on Thursday afternoon. Washington completed the three-game sweep and has won seven out of its first nine games to start the season.
Ian Desmond put the game out of reach with a grand slam in a five-run eighth inning. Strasburg allowed three hits and struck out 12 batters. It marked the 13th time in his career that he struck out 10 batters or more in a game. The Nationals needed Strasburg to go deep because the bullpen was taxed after Wednesday's 10-7 victory over Miami. In that game, manager Matt Williams had to go to the bullpen in the second inning.
"Strasburg pitched really well," Williams said. "He used his fastball and he kept his pitch count down today. That's just an example of strike one."
After allowing a leadoff single to Christian Yelich, Strasburg retired the next 14 hitters he faced before Adeiny Hechavarria reached base on an error by Desmond at shortstop.
Strasburg allowed his only run in the seventh inning, when Marcell Ozuna homered over the left-field wall, his second of the season. Strasburg left the game after walking Jeff Mathis two batters later. Left-hander Jerry Blevins was able to get the final out of the inning by getting Reed Johnson to ground out. In all, Miami struck out 17 times in the game, and that tied a Nationals record for the most strikeouts in a nine-inning game since baseball returned to D.C.
It appeared the Marlins had a tough time figuring out Strasburg because of the shadows on the field, according to manager Mike Redmond.
"I know guys were having a tough time as soon as the shadows crept in," Redmond said. "I'm sure that was part of it. But Strasburg is tough. He's a good pitcher. He knows how to pitch. He definitely did his job to keep us off-balance. Obviously, we struck out a lot. He did his job."
After lasting 4 1/3 innings against the Braves last Saturday, Strasburg told Desmond that he was going to do things differently against Miami. The righty realized that he wasn't going to be perfect or try to trick hitters. Instead, Strasburg let it go with his fastball and relied a lot on his changeup.
"I was trying to let all of my pitches go, trust my defense. I tried to keep it close as long as I could," Strasburg said.
Strasburg felt he could have pitched past the seventh, but Williams went to his bullpen to finish the game.
"I was definitely seeing the finish line, but you have to come out when skip goes out there and takes the ball out of your hands," Strasburg said.
It was Jayson Werth who played a big role in Strasburg winning his first game of the season. With right-hander Tom Koehler on the mound and no score in the third inning, Werth swung at a 3-0 pitch and hit the ball over the left-center-field wall. It was Werth's second home run in as many games.
"I'm feeling good. I got the green light from [Williams]," Werth said. "I got a pitch that was elevated, I put a pretty good swing on it. It's good to get us out front there."
It was reliever Aaron Barrett who protected the one-run lead. In the eighth inning with two outs, Barrett replaced Blevins and faced Giancarlo Stanton, who represented the tying run. It took six pitches before Stanton struck out to end the inning.
Barrett is a rookie, but Williams is relying on the 26-year-old right-hander late in games.
"Barrett went after [Stanton] and he beat him, which is good," Desmond said. "It was good for him. It's a little confidence builder, something to drive back on in the future."
Washington added insurance runs in the eighth inning off right-hander Arquimedes Caminero. Anthony Rendon scored the third Nats run of the game on a bases-loaded walk to Bryce Harper. Desmond followed with his grand slam over the left-center-field wall.
"I was scuffling all day. ... I really wanted to get one there," Desmond said. "I was kind of sped up, constantly making adjustments the last few days. I got the barrel to that one."
The Nationals now play an important three-game series against the Braves. Although it's early, Werth said the Nationals have to win as many games as they can against Atlanta.
"They are all important," Werth said. "You play 162 games, and it seems like every year, it comes down to the last couple of games. You can't take any of these games for granted for sure. It is early, but against the division rival -- a top notch team like the Braves -- you have to come out and play your best ball."

Brewers to honor Jeter before series finale
Rubber game to feature Crew's Garza squaring off vs. Phelps
The 1998 realignment that moved the Brewers into the National League effectively deleted the city of Milwaukee from Derek Jeter's travel itinerary, and so this weekend Interleague series has been something of a novelty for the retiring Yankees captain, who used to visit the city much more often.
Still, Jeter has fond memories of the time that he has spent in Milwaukee. One of his first big hits came a stone's throw away at old Milwaukee County Stadium, where a 21-year-old Jeter made an unexpected start on Sept. 26, 1995, and delivered a second-inning RBI double to help the Yankees stay atop the American League Wild Card standings.
"I wasn't supposed to play. I think I was just up so I could sort of watch and soak in the environment. It was a big hit for us at the time," Jeter recalled.
Jeter may no longer be a regular visitor in Milwaukee, but the Brewers plan to take advantage of this rare trip -- the Yanks' first since 2005 -- to recognize his career. The Brewers have said that Sunday's ceremony will begin at 12:45 p.m. CT.
"I saw him for a long time, and he prepares himself well and plays the right way," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "A great leader on their team. It seems like I've been watching him forever."
Milwaukee right-hander Matt Garza and New York right-hander David Phelps will match up in the rubber game of the three-game series. Garza is 2-4 with a 4.03 ERA in 13 career games (12 starts) against the Yankees, while Phelps is facing the Brewers for the first time in his career.
Prior to the first pitch, the Brewers will present a gift, though its nature remains top secret. When the team held a similar ceremony for the Braves' Chipper Jones in 2012, the retiring switch-hitter received a gas grill and a year's supply of Klement's Sausages.
Jeter has received parting gifts in Houston and Anaheim thus far; the Astros offered golf clubs, a Stetson hat and boots, while the Angels presented Jeter with a 12-foot paddleboard.
"He's going to be missed," former Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "I think it's great that he's retiring, where he can finally admire what he has accomplished. If there was ever a role model, what he represents is something that doesn't come along very often."
Jeter has said that the pregame ceremonies have not affected his preparation. He has also been touched by the warm ovations, including during the first two games of the series in Milwaukee.
"The way the fans have treated me, it's been pretty special," Jeter said. "Those are the things that I'll remember, but it's still early in the season so I try not to focus on that."
Yankees: Ichiro stating case for more at-bats
Ichiro Suzuki came off the bench late in Saturday's game and ripped a pinch-hit single to center field. That's nothing new for the 40-year-old veteran, who has 10 hits in his last 25 at-bats (.400) and is making a strong case for increased playing time.
The Yankees entered the season not sure how Ichiro would fit in, looking at him as a spare outfielder, defensive replacement and pinch-runner.
Ichiro has excelled in all of those roles, batting .377 with a .400 on-base percentage and .453 slugging percentage in 29 games. The Yankees have had mixed results in their outfield from Brett Gardner and Carlos Beltran early on.
"We'll see," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He's been playing real well for us, that's for sure."
Brewers: Ramirez could be DL-bound
Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who spent much of last season on the disabled list with a left knee injury, may be headed back after suffering a strained left hamstring on Saturday night. Ramirez limped off the field after fielding a ground ball in the fourth inning.
"He pulled it pretty good," Roenicke said. "We'll know a little bit more [on Sunday], but he felt a pop."
Ramirez, who had hit a long solo home run the previous inning to give Milwaukee a 4-2 lead, ranged a few steps to his left to field a Yangervis Solarte grounder. Ramirez flipped the baseball to second base for a force play but grimaced in pain. Before head athletic trainer Dan Wright could even get to the scene to investigate, Ramirez was walking to the dugout.
The Brewers are already without three-hole hitter Ryan Braun (right oblique), and losing Ramirez further strains an offense that has been struggling to consistently score runs. The Brewers hope to get Braun back from the DL for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, though he is still feeling some discomfort and may need more time.
Worth noting
• After retiring Scooter Gennett on Saturday, Yankees reliever Dellin Betances has retired 10 of the 13 batters he has first faced when taking the mound this season. Of Betances' last 22 recorded outs, 16 have been strikeouts.
• Alfonso Soriano has 999 career hits in the AL and 1,077 in the NL. With one more hit, he would become the seventh player all time with at least 1,000 hits in either league. The others are: Frank Robinson, Dave Winfield, Vladimir Guerrero, Fred McGriff, Orlando Cabrera and Carlos Lee.
• Soriano also needs one hit to become the first player to record 1,000 hits, 500 runs, 500 RBIs, 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases in each league.
• Kyle Lohse on Saturday delivered the Brewers' Major League-leading 28th quality start.
• With career save No. 319 on Saturday, Milwaukee's Francisco Rodriguez tied Todd Jones for 16th all time. Up next for Rodriguez is Jose Mesa, who logged 321 career saves.

Driverless vehicles headed from Serbia to China
Article Summary
As of July 29th, two electric vans embarked from Belgrade, Serbia on a three-month road trip to Shanghai, China. Along the way, they will have to manage stop-and-go city traffic, extremes in weather, and even some stretches of off-road driving. All this would be a great test for their electric drive system, but the researchers from Italy's VisLab put this expedition together mainly to test something else: their driverless vehicle technology. While each of the vans in the VisLab Intercontinental Autonomous Challenge (VIAC) will have passengers in the back seats, ready to take control if necessary, they will normally have no one at the steering wheel.

Welcome! Edit
Hi Six-shot-samurai -- we are excited to have History Wiki as part of the Wikia community! Thanks for joining us, and we'd like to give you some tips to help you get started on making your wiki great.
Your first four steps: Edit
1. Create your User Page - this is a great place to introduce yourself (and practice wiki-editing!)
2. Add a logo - learn how to create a logo image, then click here to add it to the wiki.3. Create your first 10 articles - use the box on the right to create ten pages, starting each one off with a few sentences. For example if you are starting a wiki on a TV show, you might create an article for each main character.
4. Edit your Main Page - add internal links ([[like this]]) to the ten articles you just created, and any other improvements you can think of.
Once you've done these four things, you've created a great starting point -- your wiki looks friendly and ready for visitors. You can then invite some friends to help you create the next twenty pages, and expand the ones you've built.
Keep going! The more pages you create and link to each other, the sooner that others who are searching for "History Wiki" will be able find your project in search engines, read your content and join you in editing.
If you have more questions, we've provided a full set of help pages, or you can email us through our contact form. Don't forget to check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, organizing your pages, and more. Have fun!
Best wishes, Catherine Munro

Ok first off let me start by saying that I want new sunglasses.. the above sunglasses I took are
of Miu Miu's Fall 2011
collection and I can't seem to get them out of my head ever since.
I love them but I'm definitely the type of person that I need to try on sunglasses
and not buy them just offline so I've been holding off on them until I try them on.
I find it difficult to always find sunglasses that frame my face shape but the ones that usually complement my face are big, oversize
ones, a la Olsen twins. I've been dying to get a pair of round sunglasses but they
just aren't that suiting for me, whomp!
Also, been in love with those Karen Walker's Helter Skelter + Deep Freeze sunnies, #swoon.
My large aviator Ray Ban's will have to do for now 'till I find the next pair….
Let me know which sunglasses are you lusting over? I need recommendations!
P.S. My next post will be answering questions about my hair/stylist, so stay tuned!
Update on hair: I got it retouched and she freshened up the lighter ends (which now
come up higher) on me yesterday,
but it's a little too light for my liking and not dark enough at the top/roots
so I'm going back in next week for her to tone it down. beauty takes time, ah!

The glitter ones are amazing!
i need (not really just want) new sunglasses too! i've been looking at the karen walker "number one" glasses for months. i don't know why i can't commit…
Omg! These are jaw droppers I love them, the eye cat shape and designs are pretty, on my wish list the round Prada's!
Cess O. <3 The Outfit Diaries
Wooow great post! ehehhe
Gorgeous miumiu sunnies!
http://passion-for-shoes.com -
those glasses are adorable! I'm the same way, the huge audrey hepburn type ones look way better on me than anything else. I kind of want a pair that has oversized lenses but really delicate thin brass frames. we'll see.
haha I really understand those problems with sunglasses. I have got the same! -.- It's hard for me to find the right frame for my face also. The only one which I think suits me is the rayban wayfarer. But I really think those Olsen Twins ones are sooo… pretty!
Oh I love sunglasses! Can't wait for your next post. I adore your hair!!
the sunnies are great and im excited to see your hair!
oii! i want a sunglasses like you want , because my face is a litle bit fat and i cant find a perfect sunglasses for them!
lovely photos! i follow your blog, follow my blog on
i'm DYINGGG for a thierry lasry pair – namely the 'sexxxy' or 'hooky' styles. the acetate he uses is gorgeous! i also love the new balenciaga oversize round edge frames in navy
Yep, I'm the same! I tried on a few different pairs from Miu miu and Karen walker last night. Miu miu was no good on my face but I'm loving the KW Perfect Day and the Cat eye vintage. They have the perfect angular shape plus a good amount of olsens 'oversized' look.
xoxo Baz from little lady love
Right now the glasses I am liking are Tom Ford and Mar Jacobs one. Can't wait to see your hair! xo
I recommend you try out some Michael Kors or Tom Ford sunglasses.
By the way, I'm currently obsessed with your blog!!.. Xo. -
I just have to say this-
I thought in your last post you wrote that you wanted your hair lighter on your ends??? Just saying, as a stylist, it's VERY annoying/frustrating when people say they want one thing, change their minds after you've spent your time, energy, product, and artistic skill and passion on them, and then don't like it but expect YOU to fix it (for free!). Even when you were just giving them what they asked for! I was really hoping you weren't one of those clients Jules! I hope you're really, really nice to her for re-touching it for you and tip well! Give that girl some credit. *end rant* Sorry guys.
Love ALL of those sunnies!
I love sunglasses-although I always buy cheap pairs because I break them way too often to spend a lot of money on them!
Those are some really cute sunnies! I love the sparkly one

I've had numerous numbers of sunnies in the past -all quite reasonably cheap brands such as Le Specs but I recently got a pair of Karen Walker (number ones) and they make such a difference. I definitely recommend Karen Walker. I was contemplating between them and the Deep freeze model. Also you should look up Graz sunglasses- their line with Ellery is amazing! xo
So gorgeous. I love the tortoise shell ones. So stunning.

Hey, thanks for informing me about Karen Walker, her stuff is so cool. BTW – i love you blog articles thanks for the review on the sunglasses
Can't wait to see your hair love! About the glasses, I am lusting over a pair of Prada minimal baroque ones, they're round ones but they're beautifully 'Olsen Oversized' so they might work for you. Love these Miu Miu's as well!!
Good luck with the sunnies hunt

I love sunnies, but I think it is not easy to find the perfect ones!
Kisses from Hong Kong,

My current obsessions are Celine and Oliver Goldsmith. Love them. Cannot wait to go to London to buy a pair of Manhattan. A couple of months ago I wrote a post about it, hope you'll enjoy it: http://notjustaprettydress.blogspot.com/2011/06/and-i-also-celine.html

Fishing Report for the week of 6/30/2010
Frenchman Lake
Fishing has been great this past week with shore fishing between Big Cove and Turkey Point remaining excellent for rainbow trout. Fishermen have been catching their limit, weighing 1 to 2 pounds and 15 to 20 inches in length, using nightcrawlers, Dick Nites, and Powerbait in rainbow or chartreuse.
Trolling is picking up near the channels and around Lunker's Point.
Weather has been good. Remember that July 4 is a California free fishing day. Call for updates 993-4683.
Report courtesy of Wiggin's Trading Post; 993-4683
Lake Davis
As of 6/25/10, the fishing at lake Davis has been a little bit better since they stocked it for the fishing derby. Shore fishing is hit and miss but not as bad as before. The occasional, above average fish is the score for bait. The people are pulling good size catfish out of fairview using nightcrawlers. Trolling is still good. The #2 sockeye slammer fire tiger, #2 Needlefish red dot frog and Dicknite are the best lures. The fly fisherman are still anticipating the damsel hatch, which should help the fishing for them. The lake temp is at 63-64 degrees and is at 68% capacity.
Report courtesy of Sierra Super Stop/Dollard's; 832-5251
Lake Almanor
For bank fishing, try fishing the jetties in Prattville and the usual Hamilton Branch with SW10 Kastmasters or night crawlers and Powerbait. Crickets are working also with browns and rainbows of decent size. The dam might be a good spot.
For boat fishing, there are good reports from trollers taking fish with red/gold Speedy shiners and various Rapalas. Add carp spit and go down 15 to 30 feet along the east or west shores for good size browns and rainbows.
There have been many excellent reports by the dam for salmon with anchovy tails (sardines) with a size #1 or #2 octopus hook a few cranks off the bottom. Smallmouth is picking up as the weather improves at the points and dropoffs all around the lake with various rubber worms and maybe a brush hog. Crickets on a size 10 baitholder with 3/0 split shot 12" from your hook.
For fly fishing at Hamilton Branch, use Woolly Buggers, at Almanor, try Pond smelt and caddis, at Deer Creek, Cooper Johns, at Butt Lake, streamer patterns and at Warner, Feather River, use stoneflies. The hex hatch should start any day. On the rivers and streams, try crickets, salmon eggs, worms and a Panther Martin. Deer Creek was planted last week.
Eagle Lake has had some good reports-try Eagle's Nest or Youth Cam with a bobber and a nightcrawlers. On Butt Lake, the good spot by the powerhouse is now open and the last report was that the powerhouse is not running. Smallmouth bass is the ticket.
For more information or guide service, call Roger Keeling 284-6429.

We like it when blowjobs are sloppy and slurpy. Zoey Nixon is like a redhead pixie princess...who gives great blowjobs. Zoey is proof that with enough spit and lube, you can shove a 10 inch cock just about anywhere. We'd love to test our theory on her shaved pussy or in her virgin asshole, but we went for her mouth first. We let Zoey play with the biggest cocks she's seen in her 18 years and she drooled all over it until she got most of it in her mouth. Yes...most. You can't expect a teen girl to deepthroat on her first try. Sometimes, it's better to watch 'em struggle.

These changes include updating the address for the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), updating a footnote, correcting mathematical errors, correcting references, correcting typographical and grammatical errors, and revising language for clarity and consistency. This final rule also makes changes to the time period by which a Federal agency must refer a debt for collection through offset, and makes conforming changes to the regulations to reflect the transfer of Mississippi to NRC Region IV.

The NRC is also proposing to amend its regulations regarding challenges to the immediate effectiveness of NRC enforcement orders to clarify that the NRC staff has the burden of persuasion in showing that adequate evidence supports the grounds for the order and that immediate effectiveness is warranted and to clarify the authority of the NRC's presiding officer to order live testimony in resolving these challenges.

The petitioner originally requested that the NRC expand its regulatory framework for nuclear power reactors to make it a legal obligation for those non-licensees who seek NRC regulatory approvals to be held to the same legal standards for the submittal of complete and accurate information as would a licensee or an applicant for a license. The petitioner requests that the scope of his petition be expanded to encompass the NRC's regulations for radioactive materials, waste disposal, transportation, and spent fuel storage licensees. The NRC requests public comments on the supplement to the petition.

Phoenix Suns
Michael Beasley: The Suns great unknown
Alvin Gentry admits he doesn't even know what he's going to get from his fifth-year power forward on a nightly basis.
"I put him in and we hope that he has a great night."
In other words, the Suns head coach is no different than anyone else who has watched his team this season.
Michael Beasley -- on the basketball court, can be hard to understand or explain.
He's an enigma.
How else does one describe what they see when the 24-year-old steps foot on an NBA floor?
Case in point, Monday's game against Oklahoma City:
In the first half, Beasley made a single free throw shooting 0-for-1 with three turnovers in seven minutes.
In the second half, Beasley scored 13 points (5-for-13 FG) and grabbed 11 rebounds in 18 minutes.
"Second half just started knocking down shots," Beasley said following only his second double-double of the season.
Gentry would prefer the latter over the former. He would prefer his most talented player "play within the game", staying engaged and making good decisions.
"When that happens," Gentry said, "we have a tendency to shoot the ball better and end up with better play overall."
Beasley did that in the second half Monday, and as a result, he played the entire fourth quarter.
"It definitely felt good to be out there but the loss trumps all," he said of what has recently been a rare occasion of playing meaningful minutes.
Beasley has been a less-than-frequent guest in the fourth quarter. In the 36 games he's played this season, 17 times he's failed to make it on the court in the final 12 minutes.
That may be changing, however.
Beasley has finished the last three games, including playing every minute of the final quarter in each of the past two, something he had not done in back-to-back games all season.
"I'm not worried about numbers or shots or anything else, just play hard as I possibly can and hope for the best," he said.
"One thing about me is I'm always going to be me whether I play or whether I don't play. I know what I can do offensively. I know what I can do defensively. My confidence will never change. I still believe I'm the best and nobody can make me think otherwise."
That said, the hope is everyone will see "the best" on a more consistent basis.

Do not purchase First, this review is being written by a seasoned and experienced business executive that knows a few things about warranties, product quality, and customer service.********This product is manufactured by Southen Textiles and the warranty is not worth the ink used to describe it. I purchased this product to cover our king mattress in 2009. In 2010 we bought a Stearns and Foster mattress to replace our old mattress and used this pad for protection, or so we thought. Our cat, that has kidney disease, peed on the bed and this pad did not even begin to stop the pee from soaking our expensive mattress. When I contacted Southern Textiles warranty department, I was advised they will not cover the mattress because the pad and mattress were not purchased at the same time, with the SAME authorized dealer. That makes no sense to me. Thousands of people buy mattresses and pads at seperate times. BEWARE, this pad is horrible and the WARRANTY IS EVEN WORSE! Anyone or any company can offer a warranty, as long as they mandate ridiculous stipulations so they don't pay. I REPEAT, don't buy this pad unless you are buying a mattress from Overstock.com at the SAME time. Spend the extra money and buy a QUALITY pad. We have a $ 100 mattress pad purchased from the Mattress Firm that completely stopped the pee on another bed.

3 months later and not waterproof! This so called waterproof mattress protector was great for about two months! But now after a few washings I came to the unfortunate conclusion that it is no longer waterproof. My 2 year old had an accident in my bed last week that went straight through. Besides this major flaw the cover looks and feels good but the only reason I purchased it was to protect against accidents and if failed horribly. If you have kids run from this cover!

the worst! So disappointed! First, the fabric had a slight stain from the cardboard inside. I was willing to overlook it as I planned to wash it first anyway. I followed the washing instructions PRECISELY--cold wash and rinse, low heat drying cycle--plus included a set of sheets and pillowcases with it in the wash and dry cycles as the instructions said don't wash alone. The shrinkage was SO incredible that I honestly don't think it would fit on the crib mattress (It was twin size XL.) I've never had this problem with ANY mattress protector. (By the way, this is the first time I've had a complaint about anything I've ordered from Overstock!)

mattess pad this pad has a terrycloth-feeling cover and plastic underneath - it would be great for a kid's bed, etc. but not good for memory foam, as it doesn't let the heat through, and thus, the mattress doesn't work right.

great mattress protector Item is exactly as described. We are using it with a memory foam mattress (11in?) My sister suggested it after she bought it, and we are very pleased with the purchase. Doesn't have the plastic, "crinkly" feel like I think of with something water-resistant. And we got it just in time - one of our dogs actually urinated a little on the bed (due to a UTI) a day or two after we purchased it and it worked! No urine seeped through and it cleaned up beautifully. I don't know what the going rate is for these sorts of things, but so far it has proven to be worth the money.

customer reviews
Mother is 85 years old. I have dogs. I thought it would be a good idea to secure the mattress.
this is first time looking stuff that I need and will try this product
because I need to keep clean my mattress
I'd like an Queen Extra Long size cover: Queen extra wide: 66 inches wide x 80 inches long but it appears that in the size option selector there is no such size listed. I am seeing Olympic Queen, would that be the right proper size. Please recommend the proper sizing for this Item #: 11104769 item. I am in Tokyo and need to make an immediate purchase.
Thank you for contacting us, Sprigs53. These do not come in extra long queen, only extra wide. We apologize for the inconvenience we might have caused. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
what size do i get for a pillow top queen?
A standard size will do.
a queen will work on a pillow top this cover has a lot of depth so no problem!!
Get the standard queen size, I have a pillowtop queen and the queen fits with room to spare as its very stretchy
I do not have a deep mattress - my present mattress protector fits very loosely - would this cover do likewise ?
Yes, ours is a little loose on our deep mattress but the elastic performs well enough that this is not a problem.
envelope the whole mattress?
Thank you for shopping with us kelowu. This just covers the top and sides. Have a good day.
I have a 14" mattress and it covers it completely!
I think is very good to have it covered
Yes and perfectly too
There is give on the California King we have. But I like that, it protects top and sides and fits tight if you tuck it in
Can this item be bleached?
I don't know but wouldn't advise it. Bleaching might damage the water proofing.
I wouldn't think so. It does wash nicely with hot water
I don't know. Just put it on the bed last week.
Generally you are not supposed to bleach waterproof mattress covers like this because it breaks down the material. I use spray and wash or shout if a stain needs to be removed. When purchasing one at a mattress store in person this was what they recommended.
Bleach will destroy the waterproofing.
don't know either, but I wouldn't.
I've bleached it every time and I've had it for several years.
is the waterproof liner actually a sheet of plastic? or is the entire protector made of cotton?
It is cotton on top with the liner on the bottom.
it does have plastic on one side and the other is a brushed cotton.
It is really very comfortable, not like sleeping on a plastic sheet at all. Cleans great when accidents happen
It is cotton on the top and a soft flexible plastic on the bottom. It is very comfortable and doesn't make the crinkly noise like a plastic cover makes. It makes no noise at all and it very waterproof. I recommend this for any mattress
Can it fit with the mattress height lower than 21"?
Definitely. My mattress is 15" and it fit perfectly.
Yes, mine is 18"
yes my mattress is 15" and it fits great!
the sides are very stretchy so it will fit any mattress
It has very good elastic and should fit just about any size mattress
Is it machine washable?
Yes, I have washed it twice. without any problem, whatsoever. It just got fluffier.
Yes, have washed them many time and hung up to dry
It does wash well but I would only put it in the dryer on low heat
I have washed mine without a problem.
Where is this made?
This item was made in China.
China as most of everything we buy any more.
is it machine washable?
Yes, this item is machine washable.
Beware - this cannot be washed with soap of any kind. It will void the warranty. I had something spill on mine a while back and sent it in for warranty of the mattress because it leaked through, and they wouldn't uphold the warranty because it was washed with soap.
What is the name of the antimicrobial agent used on this product? I would prefer silver which is a safe antimicrobial whereas Triclosan is known to be a carcinogen.
I unfortunately do not have the name of the agent, but the mattress cover is approved by the EPA.
What are the dimensions for the split cal king for adjustable beds? It mentions all other dimensions except this one. Thanks!
The dimensions are 36 inches by 84 inches.
If a spill goes over the edge, are the sides protected too?
The material on the sides is the same material as on the top, therefore, the sides should also be protected.
What are the details of the warranty? And does the warranty protect the mattress should any spills or stains occur?
The mattress comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty against defects. This includes defects in the waterproof lining.
Does the mattress cover fit over just like a mattress pad or does it zip up?
This item will fit just like a mattress pad. This protector can fit mattresses up to 21-inches thick.
Does this product serve also as a sheet, or do I need to purchase sheets as well?
It is only a mattress protector, You would want to buy sheets as well.
Will this product allow our memory phone mattress to still conform to our body shape?
This will still conform.

Financial Aid: Scholarships & Grants
The Golden Gate University's Financial Aid Staff is here to help you make an informed decision regarding all phases of applying for and receiving financial aid. We encourage you to always consider your options, beginning with the university's scholarships and grants -- many of which are made possible through the kindness of our donors.

FAFSAs should be on file at GGU at the beginning of the trimester. International students are excluded from the FAFSA requirement.

Students who demonstrate exceptional need which is not met by the financial aid package and have already received one scholarship may be awarded an additional scholarship. The additional scholarship will be awarded for one year and may be renewed each award year.
- Students receiving other grants, scholarships or other financial assistance intended for tuition costs (i.e. Cal Grants, other grants, tuition remission) will have their scholarships prorated so that their total scholarship and/or tuition remission amount does not exceed the total tuition cost.
