CHARGERS: The best and worst of 50 years of Bolts football
3. Catch and don't release
The Chargers had a 2006 playoff win over the Patriots sewed up when Marlon McCree picked off Tom Brady. But instead of falling on the ball and the Chargers killing the clock, McCree headed upfield and fumbled away the ball, and the Chargers eventually lost.
4. Bobby vs. Bobby
It wasn't the Spanos family's finest hour when, instead of making general manager Bobby Beathard and Super Bowl coach Bobby Ross find common ground, they fired Ross in this classic power struggle.
5. Freeway to nowhere
The joke goes that after the Chargers' dreadful season in 2000, the name of the interstate outside its facility was switched from I-15 to 1-15.
6. Boston beans
The Chargers' bean counters figured it was worth the dough to sign troubled free-agent WR David Boston ---- he was an epic bust.
7. Keeping Kemp
The Chargers should have done just that with quarterback Jack Kemp, but instead tried to sneak him through waivers and he was claimed by the Buffalo Bills. Kemp led the Bills to two AFL title game victories over the Chargers.
8. Mix up
There are few Chargers prouder ---- or more talented ---- than left tackle Ron Mix. But because Mix left the Chargers to play for the Raiders, he never had his number retired despite being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
9. Feeling a draft
General manager A.J. Smith, in his first NFL draft, traded out of a spot where USC's Troy Polamalu, a future All-Pro with Pittsburgh, was available and instead took defensive backs Sammy Davis and Terrence Kiel ---- a colossal blunder.
10. Gilbride's short stay
With Ross pushed out the door, Beathard hired first-time NFL head coach Kevin Gilbride. He didn't stay long, going 6-16 and being canned before finishing his second season.
11. Eight is enough
From 1983-1991, the Chargers never eclipsed the eight-win mark in a season and missed the playoffs for nine straight years before Ross came aboard in 1992.
12. Winslow oversight
Winslow made people rethink how tight ends can contribute to an offense. But it's offensive that the Chargers never retired his number, despite his being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
13. Getting bounced
In an encore to their 1994 Super Bowl season, the Chargers couldn't advance past the first round of the playoffs. The Colts, led by future Chargers quarterback Jim Harbaugh, upset the reigning AFC champions in a wild-card game in San Diego.
14. Coryell crime
It's hard to believe Don Coryell isn't in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, considering the success he had and that his fingerprints are on countless NFL offenses. Coryell belongs with the game's best and brightest.
15. 0-2
The Chargers lost their first two AFC Championship Games after the 1980 and '81 seasons. One came at the hands of the Raiders. The other was to the Bengals on the frozen banks of the Ohio River in one of the coldest games ever played in the NFL.

In October 2010, Living in Nyon reader Celia Marsh wrote about what it is like to live in Divonne in France, (just a few miles from Nyon). Here is another article, also about living in on Divonne, but this time it comes from long time resident John Burley. John is a "Conseiller Municipal" in the town and here he writes about the activities of the local council, from decisions on whether to build a new primary school, to the state of Divonne's finances, to what to do with the area around the old railway station and how not everything in France is run from Paris….
Lettre d'un élu de Divonne-les Bains.
The other day, I saw Celia Marsh's article about living in Divonne-les-Bains on this web site. As a long-time resident of the station thermale and now Conseiller Municipal, it was a pleasure to read her words. She got it completely right. Divonne is a great place to live. As long as Divonne preserves its wonderfully green environment, the result is there for all to see (and not least the 1000 frontaliers who quite rightly prefer to have the best of both worlds, a Swiss income and a French residence).
So it was not difficult to accept the invitation to join Etienne Blanc's team for the municipal elections of 2008. Fortunately, there are no national political considerations at play in communal deliberations. The current Conseil Municipal in Divonne is pretty representative of the commune – we have "les vrai divonnais", from families who have been here for several generations; some more recent arrivals in the area from elsewhere in France or from former French colonies; and les internationaux.
75 Nationalities living in the Commune
There are over 75 nationalities living in the commune: eligibility for election to the Conseil Municipal is open to citizens of states members of the European Union, so in addition to the franco-francais, there are several Conseillers from other European countries. I have British and French nationality. Having decided to continue to live in Divonne after my retirement, I felt the slogan "no taxation without representation" was for me since I had to be able to vote if I was going to pay French taxes. I am afraid the gendarme who interviewed me when I applied for French nationality did not appreciate the joke.
The lake, the primary school, the tennis courts.
Public service is in my genes. Having spent almost all my professional life in the United Nations where we "think globally" most of the time, I was delighted to be offered the chance to "act locally". Communal discussions and decisions do directly affect the lives of residents. In the last few months we have been discussing in the Conseil Municipal: whether or not to build a new primary school to accommodate the requirements of the growing number of young families moving to Divonne (yes); how to develop the area around the beautiful lake so popular to so many people from Vaud, Geneva and the Pays de Gex (some answers: a new horse riding club and a new 4 star hotel); whether to install new tennis courts at the Divonne tennis club (yes); what to offer as cultural events at the much frequented Esplanade du Lac (a highly diversified and international programme); how to support a very active community of over 100 local associations (a new Maison des Associations); what new shops and restaurants could best complement the incredibly popular Sunday market; and so on.
From Street Dance to Brazilian music – A variety of events on offer for Divonne residents.
Money is not the headache
The biggest headache? Surprisingly, this is not money. As a member of the Commission des Finances, I can vouch that Divonne's finances are in good shape. We have diversified our sources of revenue. We are slowly but surely weaning ourselves away from financial dependency on the casino (the share of the casino is down from over 80% to less than 25%). The tax base is solid, and tax-payers are better off in Divonne than elsewhere in the Pays de Gex. The compensation franco-genevoise – French communes receive back a share of the income tax paid in Geneva by their resident frontaliers – grows each year. The typical image of France is that everything is run from Paris. In fact, local authorities in France have considerably more power over local finances than their British equivalents.
What to do with the old railway station area?
No, the biggest challenge facing Divonne is: what to do with the Quartier de la Gare? This eyesore in the centre of Divonne has been left untouched for far too long. There is broad agreement on many things – underground parking, a mixture of low-lying apartment buildings, shops, public services and open green spaces. But the devil is in the detail: how much of each, how to get the right balance, how to safeguard the environment and what to do with the old railway station. If all goes well, the plans should be finalized this year, whereupon the commune will launch an international competition for the best design.
Being directly involved in communal affairs is fun and worthwhile. The Mayor, Etienne Blanc, likes to tease the English from time to time: I hope he doesn't mind the occasional répartie. Sometimes the meetings become difficult and I get lost, primarily because the French love to talk at 500 words a minute, all at the same time and frequently on tangential issues. But I am very impressed with the amount of time and effort people are prepared to put, bénévolement, into communal affairs
My mother visited Divonne as a very young girl when on holiday in the Jura with her parents some 90 years ago. According to her diary, she liked it. Whilst there, she obviously picked up a hereditary disease called "divonnitis". I hope her son passes the same bug to his children.
John Burley, Conseiller Muncipal, Divonne-les-Bains
John Burley, British by birth and French by marriage, has lived in Divonne for 23 years. He was educated at a Quaker school in England and at Cambridge University. Trained as an economist and committed to public service, John spent several years working in Uganda before joining UNDP in New York in the early 1970's. When he retired from the United Nations in 2004, he was a Director in UNCTAD. He was invited to join Etienne Blanc's list "Divonne Ensemble" for the municipal elections in March 2008. An independent member, John is active in several areas of communal life, including finance, economy, tourism and the development of the area around the Lake. He has two daughters and two granddaughters.

The UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk is an all-in-one ergonomic desk package featuring most everything you'll need to go from sitting to standing with ease. Starting with our popular UPLIFT 900 Electric Sit-Stand Desk, the UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk features a quick, quiet and sturdy desk base that easily moves up and down with the touch of a button, as well as a GREENGUARD Certified laminate desktop. The Complete UPLIFT Desk also features our UPLIFT Monitor Arm, which is a clamp-mounted tilting and height- and depth-adjustable monitor mount that easily attaches to your UPLIFT desk and can be swiveled for viewing in both portrait and landscape, with the option to upgrade to the UPLIFT Dual Arm for those with two monitors. Finally, we include a CPU Holder that will keep your computer tower secure as you raise and lower your desk, as well as our advanced wire management kit for custom cable routing, cutting down on clutter and ensuring cords and wires stay secure as you move your desk from sitting to standing. The advanced wire management kit includes a wire management tray that can be mounted to the underside of your desk, a spiral desk-to-wall cord organizer and a six-outlet power strip, as well as zip ties and cable mounts.
To complete your ergonomic set-up, we highly suggest adding a keyboard tray. The UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk is available with your choice of either the UPLIFT Large Keyboard Tray or the UPLIFT Switch Keybord Tray. The Large Keyboard Tray includes a single, 27'' wide surface with enough space to hold your mouse and keyboard side-by-side, while the Switch Keyboard Tray uses separate platforms for each. Both trays come with an easy lift-and-release mechanism for height adjustment, 20° of negative tilt, and a foam wrist rest and ambidextrous mouse positioning for relaxed, comfortable typing and mousing. We also suggest adding an UPLIFT Sit-Stand Desk Mat for a soft and comfortable anti-fatigue standing surface. For users looking take advantage of the health and energy level benefits of a sit-stand desk, the UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk is the total package.

*Please note that the up, down and memory keys on the advanced 1-touch digital memory keypad operate as follows: The four memory keys allow the desk to move to one of four preset vertical positions with just one touch, meaning you do not have to hold down a numbered memory key to make an adjustment to a saved position. Please be sure there is adequate clearance above and below your desk, and check cord lengths to insure adequate length of all cords before adjusting the desk height using the memory keys. Or you can simply push and hold down one of the up/down keys until you reach your desired height, if you don't wish to use the preset memory keys.
Why is UPLIFT priced so low?
Many people ask us how we can afford to sell our high quality UPLIFT line of Height Adjustable Standing Desks and Accessories for such a low price. The answer is simple. With over 12 years experience in the standing desk industry, we have established industry-wide relationships with quality, cost-efficient component manufacturers. Our philosophy is to expand the standing desk to a wider audience by streamlining production - eliminating middle men - and building UPLIFT products in our plant. UPLIFT Desks are assembled in Austin, Texas, and parts are sourced both globally and locally. Enjoy our selection. We know you'll love UPLIFT products - we hope to see you back as a repeat customer!

The UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk is available with a durable cherry, mahogany, maple, black or white laminate top, in the following sizes:
The white laminate top option is slightly thicker and made of 60 weight particle board finished with Wilsonart laminate and a matching white PVC T-mold edge.
The sturdy adjustable height base on your Complete UPLIFT desk is available in black, silver or white.
UPLIFT Desks come standard with a Push and Hold Two Button Up/Down Keypad, or you can choose the Advanced 1-Touch Keypad with 4 Memory Positions and Digital Height Display for a quick, easy adjustment to your saved positions with just one touch of a button.
The Advanced Wire Management Kit is a complete cable organization system for your height-adjustable desk. We developed this kit after years of desk installations. It's a proven way to easily manage all computer and electric desk cords. The kit includes the following:
Click the video below to get some helpful tips on making the most of your UPLIFT Advanced Wire Management Kit:
The included cable organization tray forms the crux of your wire management solution with a sleek, black design that seamlessly blends with your desk's design and mounts securely to the desktop with two self-tapping wood screws or a strip of included double-sided tape. At 3.6'' wide, this tray is wide enough to accommodate cords, power supplies and the included power strip, minimizing below-desk clutter.
10 self-adhesive wire mounts and 100 single-use cable ties allow for cables to be bundled and pulled taut against the bottom of the desk, eliminating hanging wires.
As your workstation develops over the years, it's likely that you'll need to re-bundle wires for routing or storage inside the wire management tray. A set of 10 reusable cable ties is also included, allowing for modification of cable bundling as needed without needing to replace individual cable ties.
Additionally, the Advanced Wire Management Kit provides a desk-to-wall cable organizer to organize wires running from an outlet or equipment to your desk in a single bundle. The desk-to-wall cable organizer's heavy-duty "spiral" design protects the cables inside from wear and tear, while also allowing cables to be integrated into the organizer or removed from it easily. An included quick wire add/remove tool rapidly and efficiently routes cables into the organizer.
The UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk comes standard with a CPU holder to clear valuable floor and desk space while making sure your computer tower travels with your height adjustable desk, keeping your cables and connections manageable.
Click the video below to see the many features and benefits of the UPLIFT CPU Holder:
The Complete UPLIFT Desk also includes an UPLIFT Monitor Arm. The monitor arm comes in black and features fingertip adjustment for height, depth and lateral movement. Two models are available for supporting monitors weighing from 4.5 - 17.5 lbs. or 17.5 - 35 lbs., and there is also an option to upgrade to our UPLIFT Dual Arm for those with two monitors. These arms include a clamp mount for easy attachment to your desk and in-line wire management to keep your UPLIFT desk free of monitor cords.
Models available:
Grommet holes can be added to your UPLIFT desk to allow for through-desk cable routing or monitor arm mounting, or can include a power grommet with two AC power outlets. The holes can be drilled at the rear edge of your desk on either the left, right or center, or a combination of the three. Corner desk grommet holes are drilled 3.5'' from the left or right side and 2.5'' from the rear edge, with central grommet holes placed in the center of the desk 2.5'' from the rear edge. For custom grommet hole positions, please call us at 1-800-531-3746.
Each grommet hole includes your choice of a black or chrome grommet hole cover, or an UPLIFT Power Grommet. Black grommet hole covers feature flip-top tabs that cover the cord slot when not in use. UPLIFT Power Grommets feature two UL-approved power outlets, a small hole for wires, and a 58" cord. These power grommets give you easy outlet access for peripherals, and allow power sources to move up and down with your desk when going from sitting to standing. Standard grommet holes with covers are 3" in diameter, and power grommets are slightly larger at 3.125" wide to accommodate your outlets.
The UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk can be ordered with optional casters. The casters come in a set of four - two for each leg. They can be locked to keep the desk stationary, but easily unlocked when you need to roll the desk.
Please note: the casters will add approximately 1.5 inches of height to your desk.
Add an UPLIFT Sit-Stand desk mat to your desk order, and receive an additional discount off the regular mat price. Our UPLIFT Sit-Stand anti-fatigue desk mats are extremely durable and comfortable. The padding is an inch thick and the surface is puncture-proof to withstand high heels or even the wheels of your chair. Choose from a 2' x 3' size or a 3' x 5' size.
Note: If you wish to use your UPLIFT Sit-Stand desk mat as a chair mat as well, you will need the 3' x 5' size.
Your UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk has the option to add a keyboard tray, giving you the freedom to adjust the height and tilt of your keyboard independently from the desk. A keyboard tray will also relieve the strain caused by over-reaching to type and is an excellent way to manage repetitive stress issues. Your UPLIFT Complete Height-Adjustable Stand-Up Desk is available with your choice of two keyboard trays. The UPLIFT Large Keyboard Tray comes with one, 27'' wide surface for your keyboard and mouse to sit side-by-side. For those who prefer more flexibility, the UPLIFT Switch Keyboard Tray comes with two surfaces: a 19.75'' wide platform for the keyboard and a separate 9'' diameter surface for the mouse. The mouse platform can easily move to the left or right side for ambidextrous mousing, and is also depth adjustable, allowing you to position your mouse closer to your body or farther away without adjusting the rest of the keyboard tray.
Though they have different platforms, both keyboard trays offer the same intuitive adjustability, wide range of ergonomic features and simple installation. With their easy lift-and-release, knob-free locking height adjustment that adjusts a full 8'', wheel tilt adjustment, and easy-to-read height and tilt indicators, both UPLIFT Keyboard Trays allow you to position your keyboard and mouse in a healthy, comfortable spot, whether seated or standing. The 0.25'' thick phenolic keyboard trays both feature a removable foam palm rest, a foam mouse pad and a cord manager for easy routing of your cables. Either of the low-profile, heavy-duty platforms will get your keyboard and mouse even closer to your lap, allow for compact storage and comfortably fit most keyboard and mouse combinations. These high-quality keyboard tray systems are available at a discounted price when bundled together with your UPLIFT Desk.
All necessary mounting hardware is included, including an 11'' track that allows your keyboard tray system to be mounted without interference from the desk's support beam underneath, and a 21'' track that you can use if the crosspiece is removed from the desk. While the 11'' track length will not allow you to fully store your tray along the track under your desk, we find that most users never fully retract their tray even if they have that capability. For users with a 60'' or wider desktop, you can take advantage of the 360° of rear swivel at the mechanism to rotate your platform around underneath the desktop for storage, or achieve a fully-retractable keyboard tray along the track by removing the crosspieces to form an UPLIFT 920 Desk with no crossbar interference and mounting the full 21'' track under the desk.

For a little bit of extra storage, add an UPLIFT Half Circle Desk Drawer at a discounted price when bundled together with your complete desk. This half-circle-shaped, swiveling drawer easily attaches to the underside of your desktop via a central mount and pivots in either direction, rotating out to give you quick and easy access to smaller accessories that you don't want cluttering up your desktop. Featuring pen and pencil trays, a notepad slot, a tape dispenser, and storage compartments, the 13.6'' W x 7.4'' D x 1.3'' thick UPLIFT accessories drawer will help keep your height adjustable desk cleaner and more organized.
The Two-Drawer Mobile Pedestal is a great addition to your sit-stand workstation, offering you additional storage space for your documents and office supplies. It includes casters for easy movement and a locking top drawer for security and privacy. The pedestal can be ordered in a maple, mahogany, cherry or black finish to match your laminate desktop, and it's available at a discounted price when you bundle it with your UPLIFT Desk!
We offer several different shipping options for your convenience and needs. Prices may differ depending on the circumstances, but you will always be contacted for prior approval in the event of any pricing discrepancies. Feel free to call us at 800-531-3746 with any questions not addressed below or to discuss further what delivery option will work best for you.
Your order ships on a pallet and will typically arrive 2 - 5 business days from shipment, depending on your location. When your order ships, we'll send tracking and freight carrier information, so you can check when it is scheduled to arrive. With the exception of Platinum level delivery, the products will remain in their original packaging with no assembly provided. Freight deliveries do not require a scheduled appointment beforehand. Once you receive tracking, you can call the freight company and ask for the 4-hour window when they expect to be in your area, and you can request that they call you when they are an hour from delivery. If you are unable to receive the shipment, or it has to be held in storage, fees may be incurred.
The delivery agent will pull up to your loading dock or office at ground level. From there, you are responsible for taking the items off the truck and into your business, either with the help of a forklift or a few of your employees. A laminate desktop weighs about 50 lbs, and a desk frame weighs about 70 lbs. The desktop, desk base and any accessories you order are packaged separately on the pallet, allowing you to break down the pallet and remove each part of your order individually. If you do not have a loading dock, we suggest upgrading to Business lift gate delivery below at no additional charge.
The delivery agent will park wherever is most convenient at your business and use a device to get the shipment off the truck and onto the ground for you. Sometimes they will have a pallet jack that, while unable to go up stairs or steep inclines, may be able to move the shipment a reasonable distance. However, for the most part you will still be required to get the shipment up to and into your office.
The delivery agent will park the freight truck in front of your residence, so you can cut the ties on the pallet and take the items off the truck and into your home. For most customers, this delivery method is manageable for two people. If you do not have a friend, family member or neighbor who can help, you can ask the delivery driver to help you lift and move the boxes to your house. Please understand that the driver is not required to assist, but, in our experience, kindness and a small tip go a long way. If you believe you will not be able to lift the items off the truck, we recommend selecting Residential lift gate delivery below. The desktop and desk frame are packaged separately on the pallet, allowing you to break down the pallet and remove each box individually from the truck and into your residence. A laminate desktop weighs about 50 lbs, and a desk frame weighs about 70 lbs. Any accessories you order are packaged separately and easy to manage. Once you are sure all boxes have been removed from the truck (including the desktop, which will be boxed up and protected between two plywood boards), we recommend you leave the pallet and plywood boards in the back of the truck, if the driver agrees.
Residential lift gate delivery is the same as the Residential standard freight delivery described above, but the freight truck has a device to get the shipment off the truck for you. As with Residential standard freight delivery, if you want extra help from the delivery driver (beyond removing your boxes from the truck) we recommend kindness and a small tip.
Limited access locations include schools, military bases, prisons, churches, nursing homes, hospitals, construction sites, storage units, remote farms or ranches, golf courses and country clubs, utility sites, or any business with specific requirements such as certain times when you can't accept deliveries. These locations can vary widely in receiving availability and capability. With a standard delivery, the delivery agent will pull up to your loading dock or office at ground level. From there, you are responsible for taking the items off the truck and into your business, either with the help of a forklift or a few of your employees. You can also upgrade to include lift gate services, in which the delivery truck has a device to get the shipment off the truck and to the ground for you. If any extra charges are incurred, we will inform you as soon as possible and will not proceed with the order until these charges are approved by you.
Estimated Canada freight delivery covers Business or Residential standard freight delivery to most locations in Canada. See above for what standard Business and Residential freight delivery entails. You may be subject to extra fees for remote locations; however, you will be notified by email if such charges occur, and we will not charge your card or ship your order until we receive consent for the additional charge.
Because this is an international freight shipment, it does require a customs broker. If you do not have a broker, we have negotiated better rates with one ourselves and can help set you up with them. Our broker's rate is $125, and they will also need to collect Canadian sales tax appropriate for your province. This freight delivery charge only covers shipping costs; you will be responsible for any duties, fees or taxes incurred. If you would like to provide your own desktop, the UPLIFT 900 Frame Only is available, and is much less expensive to ship to Canada.
If shipping to Alaska, Hawaii or outside of the US, we will contact you with a shipping quote. Your order will not be processed until shipping costs are approved. Transit time and delivery date varies.
Our free standard delivery works well for most people who order our desks. While receiving a freight shipment and assembling your desk may sound daunting, it's actually pretty straightforward. Visit our desk assembly instruction page to watch videos of the assembly and read more about our free delivery options. If you have special requirements and need to have your desk assembled or delivered to a specific area or room of choice, the following Platinum, Silver and Bronze white glove delivery options are available. These options require a four-hour delivery window between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM, Monday - Friday. We'll send tracking once your order ships, and, once your shipment has arrived at its destination terminal and is prepared, the agent will call to schedule your four-hour window for delivery, or, in the case of Platinum services, assembly. Deliveries and installation outside normal business hours require prior arrangement and may incur additional fees. Please contact us if you need to schedule delivery or assembly outside of these times, or if your building requires a Certificate of Insurance. COI requirements may result in a fee of up to $50, and failure to alert us beforehand may delay delivery or assembly.
Bronze level delivery means that the delivery agent will bring your shipment up to the first dry area, such as a porch or garage, including up to two flights of stairs (15 steps per flight maximum; contact us for any additional flights). The products will remain in their original packaging with no assembly provided. This service can typically add 3-5 days to your delivery date.
Silver level delivery means that the delivery agent will bring your shipment into your room or office of choice, including up to two flights of stairs (15 steps per flight maximum; contact us for any additional flights). The products will remain in their original packaging with no assembly provided. This service can typically add 3-5 days to your delivery date.
Platinum level delivery includes delivery to your room or office of choice, as well as assembly of the desk and any desired accessories, including de-trashing services. This excludes chairs and wire management kits, any electrical or component hookups, or any other products ordered separate from this listing that ship separately. Please note that Platinum level delivery can add up to 1-2 weeks to your delivery date. If you need your desk sooner than that, you may want to opt for one of our other freight delivery levels without assembly. This service is not available on orders delivered to the state of California.
We are so confident in our product that we back each UPLIFT desk base we ship with a 7-year, all-inclusive warranty, which covers the frame, motor, controller, keypad, electronics and mechanisms. You also have the option of upgrading to our 12-year, all-inclusive extended warranty. If you have any issues with your desk base within the warranty period, just give us a call, and we will ship you the necessary replacement parts free of charge. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear of the desktop surface. Free shipping only available for United States addresses. You can read more details about our industry-leading warranty coverage on our UPLIFT Desk Warranty page.

Final Stats
Box Score
Santa Barbara, Calif. • Attendance: 246
The University of Cincinnati women's soccer team dropped a heartbreaker Sunday afternoon as UC Santa Barbara netted a goal in the 88th minute to defeat the Bearcats, 1-0. Cincinnati and UCSB were staring at overtime with less than three minutes remaining in regulation when the Gauchos capitalized on a scramble in front of the Bearcats' goal. Madison Beckley from UCSB crossed in the ball to the near post, which made redshirt freshman Natalie Smith come out of net to corral the pass. As Smith came out of net, the ball was misdirected by a UC defender and bounced right in front of an open goal. Junior Christi Howard scrambled to clear the ball, but the Gauchos' Indiana Mead was able to get her head on the ball and notch the game-winning goal in the 88th minute. The Bearcats' offense looked strong in the first half as they controlled the pace. UC tallied four shots and one corner kick in the first 45 minute. The tide turned in the second half as UCSB put pressure on Cincinnati by outshooting them 10-1. Cincinnati remains on the road next Friday, but they will not have to travel far as they take on Xavier at 7 p.m. The Bearcats then host Kent State on Sunday for a 1 p.m. kickoff.

Obama commits to tough push on global warming
Thursday - 6/20/2013, 5:26pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is planning a major push using executive powers to tackle the pollution blamed for global warming in an effort to make good on promises he made at the start of his second term. "We know we have to do more -- and we will do more," Obama said Wednesday in Berlin.
Obama's senior energy and climate adviser, Heather Zichal, said the plan would boost energy efficiency of appliances and buildings, plus expand renewable energy. She also said the Environmental Protection Agency was preparing to use its authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate heat-trapping pollution from coal-fired power plants.
"The EPA has been working very hard on rules that focus specifically on greenhouse gases from the coal sector," Zichal said.
Zichal, speaking at a forum hosted by The New Republic in Washington, said that none of the proposals would require new funding or action from Congress. It has shown no appetite for legislation that would put a price on carbon dioxide after a White House-backed bill to set up a market-based system died in Obama's first term with Democrats in charge.
The plan, with details expected to be made public in coming weeks, comes as Obama has been under increasing pressure from environmental groups and lawmakers from states harmed by Superstorm Sandy to cut pollution from existing power plants, the largest source of climate-altering gases. Several major environmental groups and states have threatened to sue the administration to force cuts to power plant emissions. And just last week, former Vice President Al Gore, a prominent climate activist and fellow Democrat, pointedly called on Obama to go beyond "great words" to "great actions."
It was unclear whether the White House's plans would include controls on existing power plants. An administration official, who wasn't authorized to comment on the plan by name, said the White House was still weighing it. But since the administration has already proposed action on future power plants, the law would likely compel it to eventually tackle the remaining plants, or it would be forced to through litigation.
Obama's remarks in Berlin echoed comments he made in his State of the Union and inaugural speeches this year.
"This is the global threat of our time," Obama said Wednesday. "And for the sake of future generations, our generation must move toward a global compact to confront a changing climate before it is too late. That is our job. That is our task. We have to get to work."
Some environmentalists who cheered those remarks when they were made months ago, criticized them Wednesday.
"President Obama deserves praise for including climate change among the long-term threats facing us all," said Ned Helme, president of the Center for Clear Air Policy, an environmentally friendly think tank. "But he should do more than talk about the problem. The president needs to put the full force of his office behind new regulations that will truly curb greenhouse gas emissions. For too long now, he has produced little action. I'm encouraged that he will finally act and not just ask."
Meanwhile, the environmental community is growing impatient.
"I really can't understand why they haven't moved forward on this more quickly, and we hope that turns around," said Nathan Wilcox of Environment America.
An orchestrated and well-publicized campaign to persuade Obama to reject the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would carry oil extracted from tar sands in western Canada to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast, appears to be an uphill battle.
Opponents call the $7 billion project a "carbon bomb" that would carry "dirty oil" and exacerbate global warming. But the State Department in an environmental evaluation concluded that other means of transporting the oil would be worse from a climate perspective.

Reduce The Risk of a Heart Attack: Participate in American Heart Month by Adding Berries to Your Menu
Market Fresh Fruit is joining in on celebrating American Heart Month in February with great news about berries and their power packed flavonoids, which actually help protect the heart and reduce the risk of a heart attack.
Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) February 14, 2013
In support of Heart Health Month in February it's important to remember that heart disease claims the lives of over half a million Americans each year according to the United States Presidential Proclamation. But three servings per day of berries can actually reduce hypertension by 10 percent as well as decrease the risk of a heart attack by 34 percent according to observational studies.
Many berries contain a heart protecting compound called Anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid, a class of compounds with antioxidant effects. Found naturally in a number of foods, anthocyanins are the pigments that give berries, red onions, kidney beans, pomegranates, and grapes their rich coloring. The American Heart Association put out a recent study on this of around 100,000 young to middle aged women. In an interview with cardiologist, Dr. George Porter, M.D., Ph.D, in Rochester's Your News Now, Dr. Porter said, "The study showed that the blue coloring of the anthocyanins in blueberries and strawberries seemed to be protective." He added that the compound relaxes the heart muscle, which is why the risk for a heart attack is reduced. "Stay away from processed foods and straight sugar," Dr. Porter said.
Tom O'Connor, owner of Market Fresh Fruit | Eat Healthy at Work in Seattle, Washington, states that "even during winter, we can get our daily dose of anthocyanins from frozen berries. Also remember that in addition to promoting heart health, berries also have anti-cancer effects and provide protection against diabetes and dementia."
