Fromme, Harden awarded 5-year Grant from National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
Posted: September 19, 2012
Drs. Kim Fromme and Paige Harden were awarded a $2.3 million grant from NIAAA to study the "Genetic mechanisms of change in trajectories of drinking and other deviant behaviors." This project follows from Dr. Fromme's previous NIAAA-funded longitudinal study of first time college students at UT Austin. Dr. Fromme and her colleagues recruited over 2,000 students prior to their starting college at UT Austin and assessed their alcohol use and other behavioral risks over 6 years. The new grant will allow Drs. Fromme and Harden to collect DNA on these individuals and to conduct alcohol challenges with approximately 40% of the sample in a simulated bar laboratory in the Psychology Department . The investigators will examine how five candidate genes influence trajectories of alcohol use and other behavioral risks, such as drug use and risky sexual behaviors.
Dr. Fromme, the Principal Investigator on the grant, is a Professor of clinical psychology and has been at UT Austin since 1993. Dr. Harden, Co-Investigator on the project, joined UT in 2009 and is an Assistant Professor of clinical psychology with a joint appointment in the Population Research Center. Dr. William Corbin, Associate Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University, is also a Co-Investigator on the grant. The project will address the important public health problem of alcohol abuse and other hazardous behaviors among young adults.
To learn more about their research, visit Dr. Fromme's SAHARA Lab and Dr. Harden's Developmental Behavior Genetics Lab

1. "Goodbye to texas university … Hello to the University of Louisiana State?"
The trash-talking for Texas A&M's first-ever Southeastern Conference game got off to an early start in May, when University of Florida head coach Will Muschamp took a shot at Aggieland. "You ever been to College Station?" he asked Gators boosters looking forward to the September 8 game at Kyle Field. "It will be the only time you go." College Station mayor Nancy Berry fired back on YouTube with an inspired photo collage of Muschamp dressed as a yell leader.
Since Muschamp is a former Longhorns defensive coordinator, the dustup was less the start of a new rivalry than the last gasp of an old one. But if A&M is really going to say "goodbye to texas university"—there's even talk of reviving the Aggie War Hymn's long-dormant first verse, which contains no mention of the University of Texas—can it find a rival to replace the nemesis it abandoned when it ditched the Big 12 for the SEC?
Arkansas and LSU are the likeliest nominees for the role, offering both proximity (bordering states) and history ( A&M has played each at least fifty times). What can't be conjured up on cue, however, is hate—the sort of sibling rivalry that animated the Aggies-Longhorns competition for decades. Instead, for the next few years, A&M will probably settle for the novelty of being in the SEC, as well as the huge challenge. Unlike the Big 12, where Texas and Oklahoma were easily the biggest teams, the SEC is all big teams. As A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin has been repeatedly reminded, the Aggies are about to play the four teams that, combined, have won the past six BCS championships. That alone should bring lots of intensity—even if the schedule would look better to most Texans if it featured the five teams that, combined, have won the past seven BCS championships. —Jason Cohen
2. So a guy walks out of a closet…
Last September, Jim Parsons won his second consecutive Emmy for playing the lovably condescending (and oft-costumed) theoretical physicist Sheldon Cooper on CBS's The Big Bang Theory, and eight months later the show ended up the highest-rated comedy of the season. So presumably there should have been more fallout from the Houston-born actor's recent acknowledgment, in a New York Times profile, that he's gay. Aren't such revelations supposed to send stuffy network executives into fits of pique over losing the "family values" audience? Judging by the muted reaction from the public and the industry, apparently not. Part of the non-reaction, no doubt, has to do with our ever-evolving attitudes toward homosexuality. But there's also something about Parsons, a gentleness of spirit and eccentricity of manner, that keeps us rooting for him. On September 23 the actor will once again compete for an Emmy, and four days later The Big Bang Theory will kick off its sixth season. Usually series start to flag this deep into their run, yet last season, Parsons's rapid-fire, scientific-lingo-heavy monologues flowed with more oddball grace than ever. Just because he has stepped out of the closet doesn't mean the ratings for his show are going to sink like, as Sheldon might put it, a naturally occurring solid aggregate of minerals. —Christopher Kelly
3. More songs about giants and apes
As mutual admirers, Dallas's Annie Clark (a.k.a. St. Vincent) and former Talking Head David Byrne—both ambitious recording artists, with the emphasis on "artists"—seem like a natural pairing. And for the most part, Love This Giant ( 4AD), a joint effort that drops September 11, plays out like a genuine collaboration: Byrne's oblique, straining melodies twist around Clark's ethereal Glinda the Good Witch vocal flourishes and abrasive guitar work, and each enhances the other. Their styles achieve complete fusion on tracks like "Who," "Ice Age," "I Am an Ape," and "Lazarus" (oddly, the only time they share lead vocals). Though a few of the songs revert to little more than a swap meet of their solo careers, the backing tracks—essentially drum programming and percolating work from brass session men—keep the sound on edge, elevating this project well beyond the level of a cool curiosity. —Jeff McCord
4. Karl Rove's onetime protégé
George W. Bush no longer requires his services, and Rove has nothing to do with (or nice to say about) his other onetime protégé, Rick Perry. But according to Dallas native Craig Unger's new book, Boss Rove: Inside Karl Rove's Secret Kingdom of Power (Scribner), the political wheeler-dealer has hardly cut his ties to the Lone Star State. These days, much of Rove's power resides in his American Crossroads super- PAC, and as the group's fund-raising numbers demonstrate, he still has a lot of friends here.

New HLN head is big Democratic donor
CNN sister-channel HLN has tapped Albie Hecht, the founder of Spike TV and former president of Nickelodeon Entertainment, to lead the network as executive vice president and general manager.
Hecht is a big donor to Democratic candidates and progressive causes, having given $35,550 in personal contributions over the past 15 years and an additional $11,000 in joint fundraising, according to FEC filings.
Those who have benefitted from Hecht's donations include: The Democratic National Committee ($14,200); the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ($10,000); MoveOn.org PAC ($5,000); Barack Obama ($4,550); New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand ($3,500); and -- in March of this year -- Newark, N.J., Mayor and Senate hopeful Cory Booker ($1,000).
(Also on POLITICO: CNN's Cutter dismisses watchdog concerns)
Hecht also gave $6,500 to Viacom International. PAC between 1998 and 2001 while he was at Viacom. The PAC's donations in 2000 and 2002 were almost evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, according to Open Secrets.
HLN spokesperson Alison Rudnick did not respond to a request for comment from Hecht on his political contributions.
Still, it's not like HLN dedicates much of its programming to political coverage. The network's strong suit is courtroom drama and celebrity news. It's primetime hosts and marquee names are Nancy Grace and Dr. Drew.
UPDATE (11:20 a.m.): Rudnick emails:
...as an employee of CNN Worldwide, [Hecht] will not be able to make political contributions.

~Shared by J. Ranner
Our waterski boats no longer sit in Lake Teedyuskung. We spend a few extra minutes each day to defrost thin layers of ice off of our cars. And we all pine for that extra cup of coffee or hot chocolate. To quote Ned Stark, "Winter is coming."
Yet we find a way to get through these long nights. In the spirit of the holiday season, strands of lights are strung from eave to eave of our houses, providing a much needed glow when we crave it the most.
Holiday decorating has been a proud tradition for Woodloch Pines since opening in 1958. Our main lobby, dozens of trees, bannisters, shrubs and everything in between are instantly illuminated on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. That is also the debut weekend of our famous "Festival of Lights" rides along our mile-long nature trail.
From a staff standpoint, the most impressive part of all of the decorating is how much of it actually goes on behind the scenes. Weeks beforehand, my fellow co-workers are crafting wreaths, testing bulbs, building structures, and ascending skyward on lift trucks so that the tree lightings go off without a hitch. The prep work for the holidays begins just as soon as we begin our first Haunted Hayrides of the season in early October. It's a lot of work, but there's something to be said about smiles on everyone's faces in the warm glow of the lights.
Our Festival of Lights has steadily become bigger and better. In addition to thousands of lights, we now use pyrotechnics and computers to enhance guest experience. All in all, the experience amounts to about half-an-hour of illuminated joy through a dozen scenes on our nature trail. And if you're good boys and girls, Santa Claus just might show up . . .
This is really just the beginning of all the fun times that await you this holiday and winter season at Woodloch. Scavenger Hunts, snow tubing, walnut and yule log hunts and of course our Winter Olympics . . . we have it all! So bundle up, relax, and hang a shining star upon the highest bow. The holidays at Woodloch start right now!

Here be's the album cover for Perfume's fourth studio album 'Level 3'. We always know what we're getting with Perfume's single/album covers. Sleek-ass dresses, clean designs, and Nocchi giving that leg away like free Kool-Aid at a charity sale.
For those of you who are familiar with Perfume, you may notice something is off about this album cover. That girl in the middle is not a new member. It's our short skirt wearing pussy popper Kashiyuka … WITHOUT BANGS! Perfume's creative team have no idea what they have started with this. They have disrupted the status quo by showing us the one part of Kashiyuka's body which we were never meant to see.
On the run up to the October 2 release of their fourth studio album, Perfume debuted a brand new song on their radio show 'Perfume LOCKS', titled '1mm' — which I'm pretty sure is a song about Perfume needing big dicks in their lives and showing small-willied men the door.
Perfume's LEVEL 3 era has been a grower era for the most part, with their A-sides and B-sides not instantly catching on for me. I'll confess to having lost some faith in these girls ever since they wrapped up 'JPN', but this lack of faith turned into full-blown belief upon seeing them live during the London stop of their World Tour, which has now been topped by this new track. Because quite frankly it's a fucking hot slice of 80s served Daft Punk 'Discovery' realness and my life hasn't been the same since hearing it.
I'm really glad one of these girls took one for the team and got on their knees to get this song out of Nakata Yasutaka, because his material for Perfume has been lacking motivation. The reason why Nakata has been tricking out production for Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is because that girl is not too proud to put her coloured wig on the table, remove her contact lenses for 10 minutes, and suck on some testicles.
The robohoes will also be shooting a video for '1mm', and if Kashiyuka dances around in it without bangs, Japan will implode. Perfume's creative team need to either pull in the reigns on this drastic hair change or just say FUCK it and go all out and put A-chan in shorts and give Nocchi a perm.

Gear Review
Unbelievable comfort with big loads
My 25-year-old pack finally gave up the ghost this summer, and while replacing it (and mourning, lotta good memories with that pack) I spent a bunch of time (in stores, and in the backcountry) with a bunch of new packs, all loaded with ~70lbs of stuff. My typical usage is for multi-day climbing trips, so a load for me is usually a bag, tent, fuel, stove, 5 days' food, my rack, a rope, clothes, ice axe, water + purifier, cookpot+cup, etc.
Of all the bags I tried, the Bora did the best job of carrying the load without causing hot spots or point-pain on my shoulders or hips. It is a pound or two heavier than most multi-day bags, but to be frank I can't tell the difference between 5 and 7 pounds, but I can feel the difference in comfort between this bag and the other bags I tried- especially when hauling around heavy loads.
One thing that shines particularly well for me about this bag is the belt- my preferred gait moves my hips a lot, and this belt pivots with your hips, without shifting the load on your back or isolating the whole load on the high hip bone. Whatever geeks came up with this (and it's clear that some very serious geeking went into the design of this) you guys are my heroes. The harness and frame are at once fantastic and invisible- burly and unobtrusive.
The pack has a nice balance of features without feeling cluttered. There are side, top, and bottom accesses to the main compartment. Nine distinct compression straps (3 per side on the main compartment, 2 under the bottom, and one over the top) make load management work really well. Two axe loops and twin daisy chains mean you can hang more gear on the back if you're not already overloaded. The brain pack has a zip-access pouch to hold your water bag, and detaches to make a small hip-pack. Exterior zippers are waterproof, the textiles used feel burly and shed water. The large back pocket offers convenient zipper-access, perfect for stowing extra layers or a shell.
Overall, the finish and attention to detail is astonishing. This is certainly my favorite pack in its class.
Willy Syndram
This the most comfortable expedition pack I have ever used.

Good move Mo - enjoyed your segment on Greta's show last night - thanks for bringing some integrity and common sense to the House.
Did Bush cancel Shuttle? Absolutely! Did Bush propose replacement (Constellation)? Absolutely! Did barry the kenyan village idiot cancel Constellation without an alternative? Absolutely! Do libs = liars? Absolutely!!!!!!
The real work comes in trying to counter the lies from the left......you're welcome.......
come on Nov 2012 and Jan 2013
madisonbarner - since you're a barner I understand your lack of reading comprehension skills and inability to spew anything other than talking points - the Tea Party is against new taxes and wasteful spending - there are numerous Fed agencies that produce nothing - we want to eliminate them - but keep the beneficial ones - NASA has produced many technologies that have raised the standard of living - we are tired of working to pay for those that contribute nothing. But if you're one of those that thinks more taxes are OK, you are free to send all you want.
barry's plan to radically transform the USA continues.....
Love watching Mo slice and dice what passes for intelligence on the left - if his exchange w/Sharpton was a fight, it would have been stopped in the first round - and the infoslut on pmsnbc - HA! - guess the dnc's daily talking points don't include any relevant facts - but the real funny thing is all of the losers that posted previously - tell me, how much of others people's money do want to take? Admit it, you are less than up to the task of competing and need things handed to you, rather than earn it on your own - pathetic human debris - similar to what I scrape off the bottom of my shoe when i step in it - you are welcome.
barry warned us - he said he was going to spread the money around and was for wealth redistribution - code for marxism - Nov 2012 and Jan 2013 cannot get here soon enough.
zero & stooge (apt names btw) - yep, let's keep working barry's plan - results are great so far - like the saying goes: with communists, expect communism.....
barry and his socialists would much rather spend the money on entitlement programs - his base - than on productive programs that are staffed by likely conservative tax-payers.
An old lesson for you to learn - although your post indicates a lack of ability to think independently - "it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and erase all doubt"...
you are part of the problem - the lower the taxes, the more economic growth - it has worked every time tried in history - try to educate yourself before commenting publically.
Congressman Brooks has it right - it is clear that most of the previous posters are barry's minions, ever ready to steal from those that have worked and earned more. And Brooks will not be corrupted by the DC crowd - classic case of projection by the posters. The left's plan is working - we clearly have a dumbed down electorate eager to vote themselves the fruits of others labors - you must and will be defeated - Nov 2012 needs a repeat of Nov 2010 - cleaned the House in 2010 - now let's clean the Senate and White House of the vermin in 2012.
the dumbing down of the electorate continues - what more proof do you need?
poor izzy must have majored in sociology at the barn...............
cool - who knew pro teams were eligible?
saluki - GOP plan does not touch current SS and/or Medicare recipients - so either you are TOO STUPID to vote or are intellectually dishonest - you are part of the problem - idiot......

Color Inspiration: Pantone Fashion Color ReportBy Denise. Filed in Guests Blogs, Stationery, Weddings |
Tags: Bellis Studios, black, color, pantone, stationery, sunflower, yellow
With Denise, Of Bellis Studios!
I wasn't too sure where to go with this weeks color inspiration. Then I opened an email from Pantone and BAM, color inspiration overload!!! Pantone released their Fall 2011 Fashion Color Report yesterday. Even though this is their Fall Report, I think there's plenty of inspiration here for the Summer and even Spring bride. Where do I start? I have inspiration for several weeks here…
Thank you Pantone!!
The first thing that hit me was the cover of the report:
I'm partial to yellow, especially that yellow! Pantone is calling it 'Bamboo.':
"Bamboo, a surprising fall hue, brings a warm, exotic flavor to the season. Like a filtered sunset on the waning days of fall, Bamboo is a standout yellow with a subtle green undertone. This dappled shade pairs dramatically with several of the top 10, including Phlox, Teal and Honeysuckle."
Oh that Honeysuckle, Pantone's 2011 Color of the Year! I'll say Bamboo pairs dramatically with it, remember my first post. I teamed it up with Snapdragon, a shade of yellow that's very close to Bamboo.
That's not all that hit me. Bamboo is the color I use in my 'Katie' Sunflower invitations! I call it Curry, but it has the same green undertones. I just finished printing the 'Katie' invite for a Spring bride, but we switched out the black for Eggplant. Eggplant, hmm… very similar to Phlox don't you think? The results were gorgeous!
I've got Spring and Summer on my mind and I really don't want to rush through them! I'll pretend we're not talking Fall just yet and focus on the beautiful colors instead. So what do you think of this palette? Take the Pantone color survey and let me know what you picked!
Thanks for your guest post, Denise! Brides, if you love her sunflower design and absolutely must have it for your own wedding, contact her by visiting her online at Bellis Studios. Happy planning!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Ten Sleep Wyoming's Jalan Crossland a few times over the past years.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Ten Sleep Wyoming's Jalan Crossland a few times over the past years.
Jalan Crossland is becoming quite the alum at the Beartrap Summer Festival! He's now taken the stage two days in a row--each day drawing a larger crowd. The local has drawn quite the gathering in the Casper area, as well as the state
Wyoming native and favorite, Jalan Crossland, came up to Beartrap Summer Festival's 20th anniversary to do what he does best - be himself and play amazing songs.
Wyoming's own Jalan Crossland has been a fixture in the Equality State for as long as anyone can remember. He's played countless festivals, toured around the world, and has even had his music featured on ESPN.
Ten Sleep's native son Jalan Crossland's celebration of 20 years as a touring singer/songwriter will coincide with his appearance at the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Beartrap Summer Festival, August 2 and 3.
The 2013 Fireworks Festival was in full swing when Wyoming favorite Jalan Crossland took the stage. Jalan Crossland is one of a very few "alt country" artists who still claims the "country" as home. Check out Crossland dazzling the crowd of the festival.
The music at the 2013 Fireworks Festival is in full swing. Jalan Crossland is playing up a storm while a bunch of youngsters are getting down and having a great time.

VIDEO: Drug raids in Derby homes - 16 people arrested and four 'dangerous' dogs seized
Posted: February 11, 2014|
THIS video captures some of the scenes from the streets of Derby today as drugs raids were carried out by Derbyshire police in several homes in the city centre.
Thirteen men and three women were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply drugs as part of the police operation.
Four "dangerous" dogs were also seized. One of the suspects was later bailed.
Streets where the raids took place included Baseball Drive, Shaftesbury Crescent and Leacroft Road.

The arrests were made on suspicion of conspiracy to supply drugs.
More than 50 police officers - made up between Derbyshire Police and the National Crime Agency - were involved in the raids.
Detective Inspector Paul Tatlow said the operation had gone to plan.
He said: "This has taken nine months of evidence-gathering and it is the end of that gathering process.
"I do understand and accept that this has taken a while."
During the day, police officers and members of the press covering the raids were approached by angry members of the public.
Mr Tatlow said: "That intimidation is something our officers have to face on a daily basis.
"We hope that these arrests give members of the public confidence and that we will take their concerns seriously and deal with them."

Since I started receiving a Glossybox in the mail each month, I haven't been disappointed with one. Each month's box has been carefully curated and filled with high value samples, often actually full size items. All of the boxes so far have been excellent.. but the August box blows my mind!
The theme of this month's box is "Pure Luxury", and the contents of the box really fit the bill!
Included this month are:
Sample of Biolage ExquisiteOil Replenishing Treatent
Full Size Ellis Faas Creamy Lips
Full Size Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Purity
Sample of Ole Henriksen Truth Serum
(Nearly) Full Size Touch in Sol Feel Like Honey Moon Skin Base.. I say this is nearly full size as this is a 1.06 oz sample, and a full size is 1.13 oz!
GLOSSYMag Mini Magazinea
The value on this month's box is insane! The full size Ellis Faas alone retails for 35 dollars, the Illamasqua polish another 14. The Glossybox subscription is 22 dollars a month, and it delivers incredible value that I have not seen in another subscription service. Besides the value, I love the variety here. Skincare, makeup, hair care, even a nail product. Its not just that the products included are expensive.. they're GOOD! I already own an Ellis Faas lip product, and it is excellent. I'm very happy to add another to my collection. I already love the skin base, too.
Amazing products this month.. I'm so excited to try the Illamasqua polish! Keep up the good work, Glossybox!
Now is a perfect time to get a subscription, as they are offering a where if you get a three month subscription, you get a fourth month free! Click the below image and use coupon code: NYFW
Thank you so much for reading!
All the best,

Lady Jags strong in third quarter in win at Moriarty
An "inspired" talk at halftime netted a 17-point third quarter for the Valencia basketball girls on the road as the Jaguars beat Moriarty, 39-27, on Tuesday.
The Jaguars will have one more tune-up game before the Village of Los Lunas Classic on Dec. 27, 28 and 29. Del Norte will visit the Jags on Saturday with tip scheduled for 7 p.m. The Knights come in with a 1-3 record.
Valencia opens the Los Lunas tourney with the new Las Cruces-based school, Centennial, at noon on Thursday.
At Moriarty, the Jags could not get the offense going until the third-quarter explosion. Valencia led 15-6 at the half after building an 8-4 edge at the end of the first quarter.
"Moriarty was very athletic and physical, and that just shows us we need to get physically stronger," said Jaguar coach Shannon Vigil. "We came out very nonchalant in the first half, and after a speech to fire them up at half time, we had a strong third quarter."
Valencia lacked firepower from the outside, as neither team hit a trey in the game. Brenda Baeza led the Jags with 12 points and Savannah Stump scored 10.
Karina Dow and Miranda Chavez added five points each as Valencia improved its season mark to 5-2.
"We didn't play to our potential," said Vigil. "We had a lot of unforced turnovers, which stems from us not valuing each possession and being careless with the ball."
Moriarty closed the gap with a 13-7 run throughout the final period, but it was not enough.
"We have to do a better job of closing out games," said Vigil. "Even though we have a young bench, we have to get in there and maintain the same tempo, and each player has to contribute positively on the court."

Rob and Z We enjoyed our stay at Sunrock. We were picked up from the Port when we arrived and were given a cooked breakfast once we arrived at the hostel. The hostel is located 20 metres from the beautiful Pelekas beach and our room had a balcony with a great view and was a really nice place to watch the sunsets in the afternoon. Bathroom is ok but no shower cubicle or curtain meaning bathroom floor gets completely wet (but this is typical for Greece) but plenty of hot water. Family that runs it are really nice and provide lovely free breakfast and dinners every day making the hostel great value. They also arranged car rental for us (a good option for seeing the island as the hostel is quite far from Corfu town) and dropped us off at the bus station upon our departure. The only downside was that the hostel has an unusual and somewhat unnecessary policy of keeping passports during stay (rather than just recording passport details) which was strange as we had never encountered this before in 3 months of travel throughout Europe and Morocco, and found it pretty disconcerting. Other than that an enjoyable and relaxing stay and we would return to Sunrock if we were in Corfu again.

What Influences the Long-Term Sustainability of Service-Learning? Lessons from Early Adopters
By Amanda L. Vogel, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, Sarena D. Seifer, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, and Sherril B. Gelmon, Portland State University
As service-learning is adopted by growing numbers of higher education institutions, there is increasing interest in understanding the factors necessary to sustain service-learning for the long-term. Institutions that were early adopters of service-learning may offer important insights into what factors influence long-term sustainability.With this aim in mind, we conducted a retrospective, qualitative study of the tenyear sustainability of service-learning among a cohort of sixteen colleges and universities that participated in a national demonstration program of service-learning from 1995 to 1998.We assessed the extent to which service-learning was sustained at each institution, and explored the factors that influenced sustainability, including facilitators, challenges, and strategies for success.

Post Game Quotes
Coach Flannagan Quotes
Opening Statement:
"It was a typical game with New Mexico State; both teams went at each other, it was a big rivalry game. They have a lot of weapons on the floor. All of them were big; they can shoot it and block it. I think free throw shooting was really important. We have so many freshmen on the court and they are going to keep getting better. I looked out there one time and there were four freshmen and one senior. I thought Jessica Kielpinski had her best game by far this year. She has a nice shot. What happened tonight was she looked for her shots. We have to get back on defense. It's a confidence builder and a good successful game."
On practicing for this game:
"We had a really good week of practice. I thought we were practicing well. We didn't play great but our turnovers are down and I think we are playing a lot better. We just have to improve offensively."
On their record before conference play:
"Well I would like to be 12-0 but right now I'll take 6-6. We have played a very difficult schedule with a very young team. I hope that benefits us down the road."
Player Quotes
Lauren Taylor and Jessica Kielpinski
On shooting from the outside:
Kielpinski - "I did not plan on shooting from the outside. I had planned on shooting a lot better. I started believing in my shot."
On beating New Mexico State:
Kielpinski - "It's big because every year they come here and they want to beat us. It is just a rivalry that is really exciting coming out with a win."
Taylor - "It gives us great confidence going into conference. We have a week now until conference starts and it is good we have a positive start."
On playing close games:
Taylor - "I think it helps us. I mean I looked out there at one point and there were four freshmen on the court and that is pretty unorthodox. They are going to be so much better because of that."
Kielpinski - "This matters because in years past in close games we would come up with the short end of the stick. We have been playing out there with a lot more wins."

"They scored five more points than we did. In this game all you need is one more point. That was our goal, to just get one more point than them. It was a competitive game. We dug a little hole, had some turnovers and gave up some late offensive rebounds. I'm proud of how we came back and played and gave ourselves a chance. For us, we're still fighting that tradition. One of these days our group has to say, 'Enough's enough' and just do a couple more little things to give ourselves a chance. We could've gotten blown out but we've played in some pretty tough places and it has been a good schedule. That's something that's going to keep helping us."
Coach Spence on playing in the new Pit
"It's beautiful. They've done it right. As far as on the floor, it's kind of the same thing for us. It will obviously help them move forward."

Smallest and largest cockroaches in the world
They are disgusting pests aren't they? Well there is more to 'roaches than meets the eye. One of the most adaptable creatures, cockroaches exist worldwide, with the exception of the polar regions and in elevations above 2,000 metres.
There are about 4,300 species of cockroach and less than 30 of these are considered pests. This is amazing when you consider there are only about 5,400 species of mammals.
The dusky cockroach
Britain only has 3 native species, none of which are pests (these have been accidentally brought in from abroad). They are:
Did you know that termites are actually cockroaches that evolved to eat wood.
Many cockroaches are amphibious and run into water when threatened.
Cockroaches are one of our planet's great survivors.
The oldest fossil from a cockroach-like insect is from the Carboniferous period, about 315 million years ago. This means cockroaches have seen the dinosaurs come and go. Will they outlast us too?

A Jonesborough man was arrested this week after police said he bruised and burned his 9-month-old son.
On Friday, Jonesborough Police Department officers arrested Christopher T. Edwards, 19, 205 N. 2nd Ave., Apt. 3, after the baby's mother reported finding bruises and cigarette burn marks on her son's body.
Director of Public Safety Craig Ford said the mother brought the baby to the police department when she filed her complaint.
"There was a lot of bruising and abrasions about the child's head, face, and neck area," Ford said. "The child had received a cigarette burn to (his) right wrist."
Ford added that the baby's mother told police she thought Edwards was responsible for the injuries.
Ford said the Department of Children's Services was contacted, and the baby was taken to a local hospital to undergo further examination. Police then located Edwards, who denied harming the child.
Despite his denial, however, Ford said Edwards gave police "conflicting statements" as to how his son came by his injuries.
"He said the child had fallen from a 3-foot bed," Ford said. "The child is immobile; he's not even crawling or anything yet. The injuries around the head, face, and neck were certainly inconsistent with a fall."
As for the cigarette burn, Ford said Edwards told police that, too, was incidental.
"He had also stated he picked the child up while he was smoking, and the end of the cigarette fell off and burned the child, which was also inconsistent with the injury," Ford said. "Based on the injuries to the child and the statements that he made, he was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse and neglect."
Because of the nature of the baby's injuries, however, as well as the baby's age, Edwards' charges fell under the classification of Haley's Law, which carries stiffer penalties for those convicted of the offense.
"One thing that Haley's Law did was it enhanced that particular crime from a Class B felony to a Class A felony," Ford said. "As a part of that law, there are sections in there relative to continued torture or heinous acts, and also the fact that the child had not been taken to receive medical attention."
Ford added that, in Tennessee, a guilty conviction on a Class A felony carries a sentence of anywhere from 15 to 60 years in prison, along with a fine not to exceed $50,000.
Edwards was being held at the Washington County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond. He was arraigned in Sessions Court on Friday, and will make his second appearance Thursday afternoon.comments powered by Disqus

#4 - A Water Drop Lens
Have you ever tried using water drops to magnify small print and
sticky tape, a used stamp, small styrofoam tray, plastic wrap, eye
1. Tape the stamp that you want to magnify onto the styrofoam tray.
Cover the tray with plastic wrap so the stamp won't get wet.
2. With the eye dropper, place a few drops of water on the plastic
3. Experiment with different sizes of drops. Does the size of drops
change how they magnify? Water drops curve up like the curve on a
magnifying glass. They are miniature lenses.
#5 - Floating Needle
How can you make a needle float on water?
drop of vegetable oil, straight needle, tissue paper, bowl of water
1. Rub a little oil over the needle.
2. Place the paper carefully on top of the water.
3. Gently rest the needle on the paper. What happens to the paper and
the needle?
The paper sinks because it quickly absorbs water through its tiny
tubes or fibers. Why does the needle float? Although it's made of
steel and should sink, it's held up by the invisible skin on the
water's surface.
#6 - Water On The Earth
This activity demonstrates how much of the
earth's water is fresh water.
2-liter plastic bottle, salt, green food coloring, yellow corn oil,
1. Put a few drops of green food coloring into the bottom of the
plastic bottle.
2. Pour water into the container until just past the base of the neck.
3. Add 2-3 tsp. of salt to the green water. Explain that this water
represents ocean water which is salty and cannot be used to drink or
water fresh water plants.
4. Slowly pour 60ml of corn oil on top of the salt water in the 2
liter bottle. Explain that the corn oil represents 3% of the fresh
water that is available on Earth. This is all the fresh water that is
available for drinking, plant use and all of our other fresh water
#7 - Mini Water Cycle
The purpose of this activity is for kids to
discover how water is cleaned using a mini water cycle.
16 oz. clear plastic cup, 3
drops of food coloring, 8 oz. warm water, ice cube, 8" square of
clear plastic wrap, rubber band, paper towel
1. Place the cup on the paper towel. Put the food coloring in the cup
and add the warm water.
2. Stretch the plastic tightly over the cup and secure with a rubber
3. Place the ice cube on top of the plastic wrap. Ask the kids what
they think will happen when warm vapor from the colored water hits the
cooler plastic above it (it will condense/form drops). What color will
the drops be? (clear) Why? (As water evaporates, the food coloring is
left behind.)
The kids have just seen how water is cleaned through the water cycle!
#8 - Alarming Aquifer
In this activity, kids will learn the parts
of an aquifer. An aquifer is a layer of rock, sand, or gravel beneath
the earth's surface that contains water.
clear plastic 1-liter bottle with spout and first 1/2" cut off,
sand topsoil, two transparent straws, washed pea gravel, water
1. Put the gravel on the bottom of the plastic bottle to a depth of 2
2. Position two straws upright in the gravel layer. While holding the
straws, pour 3 inches of sand on top of the gravel.
3. Add 1 to 2 inches of topsoil on top of the sand.
4. Slowly add water to saturate the sand and gravel. This water
becomes the groundwater. Note the water's movement through the sand
and gravel.
5. Suck the top end of one of the straws. Pinch the opening of the
straw closed. Observe the effect of the pumping action on the aquifer.
(The effect is similar to the effect of the pumping action of a well.)
6. Suck on the second straw and repeat the process. Note the effect on
the level of the groundwater.
7. Suck on the straws several times and observe any changes in the
groundwater model.
#9 - Ice Cube Lifting
The objective of this activity is to learn
how salt lowers the freezing point of water.
glass of water filled,
6" long piece of string, three ice cubes, spoon, salt, 3 tbsp
each salt, sugar, and pepper.
1. Place one ice cube into the glass of water.
2. Lay one end of the string over the top surface of the ice cube.
3. Sprinkle sugar onto that end of the string and the area around it.
4. Wait 1 minute. Try to lift the ice cube out of the water with the
5. Take the ice cube out of the glass using a spoon. Put another ice
cube into the glass. Put one end of the string on top of the ice cube.
Sprinkle pepper onto that end of the string and the area around it.
Wait 1 minute. Try to lift the ice cube out of the water with the
6. Take the ice cube out of the glass. Put the last ice cube into the
glass. Put one end of the string on top of the ice cube. Sprinkle salt
onto that end of the string and the area around it. Wait 1 minute. Try
to lift the ice cube out of the water with the string.
How does it work? Only the salt lowers the freezing point, causing the
ice to melt. As the ice melts, enough heat leaves the ice cube to
freeze the string onto the cube. That is why salt (not sugar or
pepper) is sprinkled onto icy roads.
#10 - Making an Egg Float
The objective of this activity is to learn
how salt affects the buoyancy of water.
raw egg, hard-boiled egg,
glass of water, salt, tablespoon
1. Put the raw egg in the glass of water. Watch what happens. Take the
raw egg out of the glass.
2. Put the hard-boiled egg in the glass of water.
3. Add salt, one tablespoon at a time, until something happens to the
4. Once you have finished with step 3, take out the hard-boiled egg
and put the raw egg into the glass. What happens?
Salt makes the water heavier. As the salt water becomes heavier, the
egg is able to float. The key to floating is that the object (the egg)
has to weigh less than the water it displaces (takes the place of).
Adding salt makes the water heavier, so eventually the egg weighs less
than the salt water it displaces. The raw egg weighs less than the
hard-boiled egg, so it can float in both the tap water and the salt
#11 - The Water Bulge
This experiment will demonstrate how water
creates a "skin" that allows leaves and insects to float on
plastic 8 oz. glass, 8 oz.
of water, two drops of food coloring, 10 pennies or dimes, one piece
of cardboard, tape
1. Put two drops of food coloring into the water. Pour the water into
the glass.
2. Fit the cardboard around the top of the glass, forming a collar.
Tape it in place. Hold the coins on the end of the cardboard and
gently slip them into the water.
3. Notice how the top of the water bulges out above the glass and
toward the cardboard.
4. Count the number of coins that you can add to the glass before the
water overflows.
Water molecules are attracted to each other, creating a tight bond.
This is called surface tension. Water molecules that are surrounded by
other molecules are attracted in all directions. But the molecules at
the surface do not have any water above them. They are strongly
attracted downward to the molecules below. This prevents the molecules
from spilling, even when the water level rises above the rim of the
glass. Eventually, the volume of water above the rim of the glass
becomes too great for the surface tension to hold, and the water

Jan 4, 2013 Comments Off on White House releases 1st briefing photo of Obama on night of Benghazi attack — 3 months later Chuck Biscuits
Excerpted from Hot Air: The White House in any modern administration has an official photographer whose duty is to take pictures all day long of official and unofficial activities of the President. Sometimes those events are obviously momentous, while others only become so in retrospect. The White House releases some into the public domain on its Flickr site, but only those that please the administration. Others — like the photos of Barack Obama being briefed on the unfolding attack on our consulate in Benghazi on September 11th — require a little more effort to have released. In this case, it took public criticism (and perhaps the threat of a lawsuit) from several media outlets to get this picture released (via Fox and The Blaze):

Details and Shopping
Customer Favorite
Floppy brimmed suede hat with suede wrap trimming around the head circumference.
Measurements:Head Circumference: 24 1/2"
Brim Length: 3"
Rated 4 out of 5Â by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kellymaccarthy LOVE love love love it. Could not disagree more with the last review so I thought it was worth my time giving this hat the credit it deserves. It looks identical to the photo- perhaps a bit lighter in colour but nothing dramatic so dramatic that you would be inclined to complain about. Also the hat fit me wonderfully, I should also mention my head is on the larger end of the spectrum so I was again taken aback at the last review - it most definitely is not small, its got the perfect amount of flop and flair for an everyday bohemian look that will carry into the winter months with its fantastic shade and suede material. Has a great leather tie accent as shown in photo which gives it the extra perfect bit of detail. Definitely a new staple to my wardrobe, I will post a photo soon but wanted to give it the justice it deserves. Would most definitely recommend to a friend or those of you debating getting this guy. 7.17.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by p1gp3n soft // floppy i got this in the grey and it's just as pictured with the brown braided wrap that offers a nice contrast. it's soft and floppy. my head is on the bigger side and the hat just fits. the material seems nice. 1.16.2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Goddessofthesea Suede Hat Not nearly as beautiful as pictured. It is very light in color, almost close to ivory not tan as pictured and it is sloppy on the head portion. Almost night & day difference. I still liked it a bit and I have mixed feelings if I want to return or keep it. It should have been pictured honestly so one could decide if you want to buy it or not to save time from going to the Post Office. The brim is only 3" not 5". The brim hardly put into shape itself to look as good as pictured. The small leather that protrude on the left side of the back (pictured) that goes around is missing. I do not understand how it can be pictured so differently and sell a different item in reality! It is not enticing to shop online if this is the case!!! It is a cheaper version of what is pictured! 7.8.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by dernhelm1984 Cute on model, not so great in person I was really excited about this hat as it looks adorable on the model. Unfortunately when it arrived, I was very disappointed to find that the hat was too large for my head (I am a very average head size) and would easily blow off. The brim is not at all like the one in the picture; it is extremely floppy and no matter how I tried, I just couldn't make it look not ridiculous. The photo submitted by the customer who reviewed also this hat is spot on for how it really looks as opposed to the one the model has on. The little brown band around the crown is extremely cheap-looking and is not attached to the hat. I wouldn't be at all surprised if owners of this hat lose this feature quickly because it is not secure at all. If you are interested in this hat, do not use the picture with the model to make your decision; look at the customer submitted picture for an accurate representation of what this hat looks like in person. 8.6.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jksjow Love. This. Hat. Let me start by saying I am NOT a hat person, and I never wear hats. I think they look weird on me. But having to be outside a lot this summer, I finally had to give in. As soon as I put this hat on I loved it! It fits well (as some reviewers mentioned, my head is slightly on the bigger side). And I think it actually looks cute on me and goes well with my style (Free People of course!). I tried the gray and the black; keeping the gray. I love the color and am glad it was an option. It goes with everything - black, brown, olive, denim, colors. It has a contrasting brown braided band so it will go as well with my brown boots as with black. I like that it will be seasonless. The black one is kind of dark for summer wear, and my hair is black, so on me it had the Wicked Witch of the West vibe. The black does look dressier, however, and has a matching black suede band vs. the contrasting brown one on the gray hat. Best part of all - I am not a gal who spends a lot of time fussing with my clothes. Another reason I dislike most hats is because you have to fiddle with them to get the brims just in the right place for the look you want. This hat is so easy - you can grab it and put it on without looking in a mirror or adjusting the brim, and it looks so cute and boho every time. I highly recommend this adorable hat. I'm all set now for art festivals and outdoor concerts! Only warning is - you wouldn't want to lose this cute hat if it gets blown away! So hang on to it when the wind blows! 7.10.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by austindenise adorable hat I ordered the gray and it's beautiful. Fits me perfectly, but my head is just a bit larger than average and doesn't fit many hats, so that's why I think it might run a little large. My only issue is that the leather band is not likely to last long unless I can figure out how to clue it down without making a mess...it arrived barely attached in just two locations. For anyone worried that it might be too small, it won't - get it! 2.26.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by saltwatergypsy cute! tried this hat on in-store and it is adorbs! the color is a tad lighter than the online pics and the hat itself wears just as depicted, as well. highly recommend. 9.18.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by _Rachel_ Cute Hat.. I thought I would return this hat before it even arrived, especially after seeing customer photos of it but when I tried it on it was very cute and didn't flop down like customer photos which I didn't want it to do, the color is nothing like photo, more dull color. Overall, I think it looked really cute on and I will probably keep it. 9.10.2013

Below is the poem entitled Special Occasion Leaves which was written by poet
Swanson. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Paula Swanson
In my chair, atop an old phone book,
I sat as proud as can be.
My first time at the grownup table,
surrounded by company.
I lifted the edge of the table cloth,
and felt the smooth wood beneath.
Solid maple, hand oil rubbed,
I counted eight chairs underneath.
Earlier that day, I heard Gram exclaim,
"It's time to stretch that table."
So, off Grandpa went to the attic,
while Gram toiled over pots and kettles.
Then I watched as Grandpa and Mom,
pulled the table sections out of their sleeves.
You knew it was a special occasion,
when Grandpa put in the table leaves.
Placement: 3rd
