In 2011, D.C. United took over Ben's Chili Bowl for a day. Players and coaches helped in the kitchen and enjoyed some of that famous food for themselves. The legendary local spot even changed their name to Ben Olsen's Chili Bowl! In honor of one of D.C.'s most famous restaurants' 55th anniversary, let's throw it back to that day in United history.
D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid is nominated for Save of the Week for Week 25. The talented Homegrown made a huge save early in United's match against Montreal, coming off his line to stop a point-blank attempt from Andrew Romero.
The young goalkeeper has multiple honors to his name this season, including one Save of the Week from Week 1, a Player of the Week award, a Team of the Week honor and was also selected to the FIFA Ultimate 13 Team of the Week.
Make sure you vote for Bill Hamid for Save of the Week.
Yesterday, D.C. United staff, along with goalkeeper Joe Willis and defender James Riley volunteered at D.C. Central Kitchen (DDCK). Together with the kitchen staff, we made meals for thousands of people in need. DCCK Volunteer Coordinator, Casey Thomasson prepped the group and explained what DCCK does for the community.
"We bring in 3,000 pounds of food every single day from different restaurants and hotels and organizations. We transform it into 5,000 meals all at once. Now, we don't send these out individually… We want to try to create a more sustainable system of support for people in the community. That's why we send these meals out to halfway houses, rehabilitation centers and after school programs. So, these programs can save money, while providing healthy meals to their clients."
The passion for the program clear in his voice, Thomasson continued to explain that most of the cooks have come through DCCK's internship program—a 14 week program for the previously disenfranchised to learn a valuable skill and get back on their feet. 100% of the last graduating class is now employed; the norm is around 90% which, if you'll allow me to editorialize here, is unbelievably impressive.
While some volunteers cracked eggs to be used in lasagna, others prepared about 96 tins of turkey lasagna. Some DCU volunteers chopped jalapeños, while others prepared bacon and sandwiches for today's breakfast.
On behalf of everyone at D.C. United, we want to thank DCCK for letting us spend the afternoon preparing meals for thousands and thank them for everything they do for the community.
With one regular season match still left to play, the Richmond Kickers are the USL PRO regular season champions! After beating Orlando City SC 2-0 yesterday, the Kickers have secured home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Throughout the season, D.C. United has loaned six players to its USL PRO affiliate, building a mutually beneficial relationship. Andrew Dykstra, Conor Shanosky, Michael Seaton, Taylor Kemp, Casey Townsend and Collin Martin all featured for the Kickers this year.
Joseph Ngwenya led the way through the regular season, scoring eight goals and registering five assists for a total of 21 points, while Brian Ownby has seven goals and assisted six times for a total 20 points. And the season isn't even over.
D.C. United's Michael Seaton contributed to the score sheet five times and assisted once, while Casey Townsend also found the net twice. Goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra leads the team in minutes play, featuring for 1800 minutes of play and registering ten of Richmond's 11 shutouts.
Congratulations to the Richmond Kickers on winning the USL PRO regular season and good luck on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.
The D.C. love between the Nationals and the Black-and-Red continues. Yesterday, we blogged about Bryce Harper sporting a D.C. United jersey during an interview. Meanwhile, shortstop Ian Desmond, who attended United's July 27th match against the New England Revolution, got a taste of supporters culture, and now wants DCU fans at Nats Park.
This is how it started.
I have a question but I need some clarification first. Barra Brava- is the crew that cheers like crazy at DC united games correct?
— Ian Desmond (@IanDesmond20) August 13, 2013
After some clarification, Desmond asked his followers this question.
Okay, so how to I convince the Barra Brava to come be crazy people at a baseball game?
— Ian Desmond (@IanDesmond20) August 13, 2013
After some more Tweets, Desmond Tweeted directly at La Barra Brava and the Screaming Eagles.
I'm gonna work on this. @barra_brava @screamingeagles
— Ian Desmond (@IanDesmond20) August 13, 2013
One of Washington's most influential journalists, and long time Nats and United fan, Clinton Yates, got in on the conversation.

when your hands are covered in ink and you're still smiling. I think that everyone who left today had a smile on their face and a new bag to use for their craft goodies.
This was the first time we have used Canvas Bags and it made a great class. Here are the three rough drafts I made. Everyone made their own in order to choose their own designs.
And here is the finished bag made using fabric paint, markers stamps and grungeboard.
I wish I could have had the camera ready when everyone saw what they were going to make. They ranged from "Yeh right" to "I can't do that" but after a bit of playing and some relaxing stamping and painting everyone made a great bag.
Here are just a few close ups
Now everyone has their own unique craft bag. I put some more photos of the day onto Facebook so don't forget to pop over and take a look. You can find the Facebook link on the right of this blog.
Thanks to everyone for today. I had a great time. xxx

By Air Force Senior Airman William A. O'Brien Joint Task Force 435
KABUL, Afghanistan, July 13, 2010 One of the Navy's newest officers joined the ranks in a unique way July 9 when he received his commissioning oath via video teleconference from his uncle, a Navy vice admiral who commands a joint task force in Afghanistan.
The commissioning of Ensign Ian Kriegish by Vice Adm. Robert S. Harward, Joint Task Force 435 commander, marked the beginning of the third generation of his family to serve as an officer in the Navy.
"We are all very proud of you -- proud of you for what you're doing," Harward told his nephew. "You're taking on this obligation when we're at war, and you'll serve while we're at war. There's no greater purpose that you could have in life, so go out and serve the fleet well."
Harward introduced Kriegish to the Navy. As a recent honors graduate from Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., Kriegish was undecided about his future. But a visit to his uncle's home in Norfolk, Va., changed that.
"When he was visiting me in Norfolk, he didn't know what he wanted to do," Harward said. "I live near the [aircraft] carrier, so we just walked over and walked on some of the ships. We talked to some young kids who were just junior officers. He decided that joining seemed interesting, so he applied."
After finding out that he had aced the entry test and had been accepted to become an intelligence officer, Kriegish began Officer Candidate School.
"When he applied, he wanted intel, so he was excited to be accepted by them and to have that be what he's going to do for the next few years," Harward said.
After receiving his commission, Kriegish was congratulated by his attending family and his video-teleconferencing uncle. "Congratulations, Ensign Kriegish," the admiral said. "I just wish I could be there to be your first salute."
After a small talk with the family, Harward offered a parting, "Go get 'em, Ensign Kriegish," as he sent his nephew to join the fleet.
Joint Task Force 435 assumed responsibility for U.S. detention operations -- including the care and custody of detainees at the detention facility in Parwan -- oversight of detainee review processes, programs for the peaceful reintegration of detainees into society, and coordination with other agencies and partners for the promotion of the rule of law in Afghanistan.

If you're taking your job search seriously, you've probably read at least one article that advised you to start monitoring your personal brand online. Most people who spend time doing this face the sad reality that nobody is talking about them. Still, it's nice to get a notification when your name does pop up. For many brands this kind of tracking is a necessity. The tools that you or I might use can't keep up with the volume, and that's why Brandwatch has grown so quickly. They're a Brighton, UK based company with a growing New York, NY office that is "all about monitoring what people say about your brand, products, competitors, industry or any related topics." If someone is saying it on a publicly accessible website, they'll find it.
Instead of relying on the internal search tools that many websites offer (or on Google), Brandwatch has built their own search engine. That means that they gather the data, they clean it, they analyze it, and then present it to clients. This is exactly what Brandwatch clients (they include some mega advertising/marketing agencies) want–information that they can base decisions on. If you want to see Brandwatch in action you can take a look at Brandwatch's Case Studies. If you still have questions, take a look at their FAQs and How It Works page. If social media monitoring is something that you're excited about, visit Brandwatch's Careers page. The U.S. based positions to focus on include Sales Development Representative (Chicago and New York), Inside Sales Rep, and Marketing Data Scientist. All of the jobs on the technology side appear to be in Europe.

Dubinsky's match penalty rescinded
Apr 19, 2013, 12:36 PM EDT
The match penalty Columbus forward Brandon Dubinsky received for his role in last night's melee between the Blue Jackets and Kings has been rescinded by the NHL.
Per Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch, Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen was told this morning by the league of the decision to overturn the original ruling.
Following is the incident:
Dubinsky was presumably assessed the match penalty for dropping his gloves and punching Kings defenseman Drew Doughty, who proceeded to skate away and cover up in front of the vacated Los Angeles goal.
However, upon review, the league likely noted it was Doughty who struck Dubinsky first with a gloved punch to the back of the head as the fracas started.
"I got clocked from behind, so when I turned around, I expected there to be a fight," Dubinsky said.
- no - Apr 19, 2013 at 12:41 PM
the fact that this was even a match penalty initially is a JOKE.
if I'm drew doughty, I'm getting back home ASAP to throw out my bulk package of Summer's Eve before
my true identity is discovered

- rodeoclowndc - Apr 19, 2013 at 12:54 PM
Go change your tampon, Doughty…
- President Charles Logan - Apr 19, 2013 at 12:55 PM

Good move NHL.
- shortsxit34 - Apr 19, 2013 at 1:36 PM
Kings fan here.
Don't know how he received the Match in the first place. When Doughty turtles, Dubinsky doesn't throw.
Doughty shoulda gotten a Ten for forgetting to hike up his skirt before throwing the cheap shot.
- aventador12 - Apr 19, 2013 at 3:02 PM
Never thought that D. Doughty's a P*s*y. For him to throw cheap-shots and then crumble like that to avoid a match-up, embarrassing. As a Kings fan, that's just sheer embarrassment. Dubinsky honored the code w/c I respect. Good for him. But Doughty?, SMH.

At least the NHL rectified it. I commented on team stream that Debbie Doughty invented a new "position" on the ice. Used to be Goaltending, defenseman, left and right wings and center. Now the NHL must add "fetal".
- 2qswing - Apr 19, 2013 at 5:03 PM
Geez Drew you are really taking a beating here. Please allow me to pile on. a question … will you show up next year fat and out of shape for the third year in a row. Guy takes half the season to get in shape and start producing. I wasn't sure if that was Lasorda or you taking the ice last night to drop the puck.
- tsarnikkola - Apr 21, 2013 at 3:25 PM
You think Doughty didn't produce this season because he was out of shape? You do realize he played the defensive role on a pairing with Muzzin most of the season due to Greene and Mitchell's injuries? Since he was paired more often with the recently acquired Regehr, he started scoring frequently. On top of that, even when he was playing a more defensive role, he had taken more shots per game this season than any prior.
- earpaniac - Apr 19, 2013 at 5:55 PM
Geez, Doughty! You punch a guy in the head from behind, get hit with one glancing blow, and then turtle up? I think he took the old TMNT theme song too literally and decided "Turtle Power" was real.
- letsgopens8771 - Apr 19, 2013 at 6:22 PM
What's the point of rescinding the penalty now after the fact? Makes no sense, just like the penalty itself.
- banger60 - Apr 19, 2013 at 6:34 PM
Dougherty, you should have hit him with your purse,, p*ssy.
- banger60 - Apr 19, 2013 at 6:35 PM
Don't get excited, my spelling was wrong.

By Sgt. Sara Moore, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 2008 The Defense Department will continue to need the support of Congress and the American public to sustain the success it has achieved in the war on terror so far -- success that, though impressive, is still tenuous, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said today.
Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee, defending the $515.4 billion fiscal 2009 defense budget request President Bush submitted to Congress on Feb. 4. The budget includes a 3.4 percent military pay raise, a 2.9 percent civilian raise, money to continue to grow the Army and Marine Corps, and a funding increase to maintain readiness. The administration also requested a $70 billion emergency supplemental request for the war on terror in fiscal 2009.
Mullen noted that budgets are really a type of strategy, and this budget "reveals great balance in our strategy for the future -- a realization that, while we continue to fight and develop counterinsurgency warfare, we must also prepare for, build for, and train for a broad spectrum of traditional warfighting missions."
To sustain the force and prepare for future requirements, this budget includes more than $180 billion for strategic modernization, including $3.6 billion for the Army to continue to develop future combat systems and another $3.5 billion to procure 20 more F-22 fighters and another $700 million in research and development, Mullen said. The budget also includes money to continue to build the next-generation aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer, increased spending on missile defense, funding to complete the stand-up of U.S. Africa Command, and more than $20 billion to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps.
Mullen acknowledged that the fiscal 2009 budget doesn't include any big surprises, but said that is because the department has looked at all its requirements and has a good handle on where it should go fiscally.
The United States has made significant progress in Iraq and Afghanistan, Mullen said. In Iraq, violence is down, business is on the rise, and al Qaeda is on the run. He praised commanders on the ground for their innovative techniques and use of surge forces to improve security. Progress in Afghanistan has been mixed, but the coalition is doing all it can and the additional 3,000 Marines being sent there will make a big difference, he said.
But progress in both countries is still tenuous, and conditions on the ground could change at any time, he said.
Mullen also cautioned about long-term risks the United States faces to its security commitments around the world if the Defense Department doesn't address the toll that ongoing combat operations are taking on military forces, gear and families.
"The well is deep, but it is not infinite," he said.
DoD and Congress must work together to reduce Army deployments to 12 months from the present 15-month tours, restore the Marine Corps' expeditionary capabilities, and stay dominant at sea, in space, and in cyberspace, Mullen said. Also, the department needs to do a better job at identifying and treating wounded servicemembers, especially those who suffer from conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.
The admiral also urged Congress to enhance quality of life for military family members by broadening federal hiring preferences for military spouses and expanding child care benefits.
The U.S. military is still the most powerful, capable force on Earth, Mullen said. This power is a testament to the brave, talented men and women who serve in the military, but also to the support of Congress and the American people, who have invested heavily in national defense, he said.
"We will continue to need that support, for however powerful we may be today, that power is not assured tomorrow," Mullen said.

This book is full of interesting things. The flavor is a little like Aigner and Ziegler's Proofs from the Book: disparate elements are brought together in unexpected ways to make beautiful proofs. Most of the problems have a geometric flavor. The techniques are mostly from analysis even though they are applied primarily to discrete problems.
Several problems are part of extremal combinatorics, e.g., finding bounds on the size of a set in n-space based on the sizes of its projections, or on the number of different slopes of lines through two points of the set (the Besicovitch-Kakeya conjecture). There is a little bit of probability, in particular looking at the probability that two random integers are relatively prime, which leads into the Riemann zeta function, the distribution of primes, and the Riemann hypothesis. There's a moderate amount of finite fields work (actually only the integers modulo a prime, not general finite fields) that is presented primarily to formulate problems simple enough to tackle here. There's a very interesting chapter on van der Corput's theorems on oscillatory integrals, which leads into asymptotics for Fourier transforms. These in turn are used as a back door into Fourier analysis by developing some asymptotics for the number of lattice points inside a circle (Gauss's Circle Problem). All this in only 136 pages!
The book is intended as a text for a capstone course, that is, a final undergraduate course that ties together many areas of mathematics. It is also intended to teach problem solving. The structure of the book is to work out one problem in detail, then pose a number of related problems, some still unsolved. The student is continually urged to stretch out and try things, and to read the original literature.
I like this book, and I think it will be successful in a capstone course. I'm not as optimistic about its value for teaching problem solving: there are too many rabbits being pulled out of hats; I suspect the proofs, although clever and beautiful, are too unmotivated and may intimidate students.
There are an alarming number of errors (in this first printing). Many are typographical, but others are lapses in logic. In every case that I could check the final result was correct, but some of the intermediate steps were incorrect. There's also no index, a Very Bad Feature. Even though the book is very short, I often found myself wishing I could look up some earlier results in the index.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.8 out of 5�by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by John Comparative Review I just purchased the Rawlings GG Elite Pro Taper for my son. I spent about 45 minutes comparing several gloves in the store, having my son field some ground balls, little pop ups and front and backhand catches to make sure he was comfortable with the glove. I'll start off by saying that the glove was on sale for 79.98 and we had a $15 off coupon on $75 or more, so it made this glove the highest quality glove for what lesser quality gloves cost. The Rawlings Youth Player Preferred Elite glove $59.99 in 11.25 inch has a very similar taper and pocket; however, the quality of the leather is not as high as the GG Elite and was his 4th on the list of gloves. That being said, the YPPE glove would be a very good glove for people that don't want to spend as much on a glove and the hand area is a bit smaller which is likely better for smaller kids. My son is 7 years old, but because he is so tall, he easily compares size wise to a 9-10 year old so the additional room in the GG Elite wasn't a problem for him to close. The YPPE glove is more broken in to start out though. My son also tried out the 11.25 inch Mizuno Franchise Series Glove which turned out to be his 3rd on the list. This glove is outstanding quality leather, but it is the least broken in glove, but I would say had the second best leather of the four gloves tested. One great feature for this glove was the hand area is the smallest tested and will be ideal for kids with much smaller hands. My son's second favorite glove was the Wilson A-800 11.25 inch. Of all of the gloves tested, this glove was the most broken in and you could easily take it from the shelf to the field if you kid lost their glove and you need one in a pinch. The leather was good, but was not as high a quality as the GG Elite or the Mizuno and it pales in comparison to the leather of my own Wilson A-2000, which I would say the GG Elite is of the same quality leather of this $250+ glove. Without my prompting my son came to the decision that the GG Elite glove was for him because it felt comfortable for him and I didn't want to sway him in any direction and I didn't want him to get a particular brand since I have both a Wilson A-2000 and a Rawlings Gold Glove in adult versions. All things being equal in price with the GG Elite on sale, it is a no brainer to go with the GG Elite because of the quality of leather. I think you would be hard pressed to down grade the quality of this leather when put up against a Nakoma buffalo leather glove costing $300+. This glove is of enough quality that it should last most kids taller Rookie Ball kids like mine through Major Little League and will likely serve short stops and 2nd basemen well in U-Trip and high school. Bottom line, if your the price is about the same or if you don't mind spending the normal $130 for the GG Elite when it isn't on sale, go with this glove and make sure that you child can't lose the glove because nobody will return this kind of glove. If you want an outstanding glove and you are not willing to pay $130 when it isn't on sale, which I wouldn't at this point for a 7 year old, go with either the Wilson A-800 or the Mizuno Franchise Series Glove. Also, unless you know that your child's hand won't be too small for a glove, I would not purchase a glove online that they have not had on their own hand. Hopefully, this review is comprehensive enough that it is of benefit and has enough of a comparative analysis of quality gloves to make your glove purchase easy. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Smash7831 Great glove - good price I bought this for my 11 year old son who plays recreational and travel baseball. He previously had another gold glove which he outgrew. We went with the 11.25 size as the difference between that and the 11.5 is not much of a factor. The 11.25 was a much better feel in his hand. The glove seems to be pretty good quality and at $50 off the price, at $99, was a great deal. He tried on several gloves and liked this the best. I DID NOT fall victim to steaming the glove for $15. I don't buy into the need to steam a glove to break it in. I bought the Glovolium spray, hit the inside of the glove twice, massaging the spray in by hand and then lightly wiping off each time. We put two baseballs in last night, bungee corded the glove and when I checked it today I was amazing with the overnight flexibility that was acheived. I think with a few good practices and catching at home, this glove will perform just as good if not better than his past GG. Rawlings makes a good product. I would recommend this glove but caution two things. 1. Kids need to try the gloves on and parents should not merely buy online, the glove needs to fit. 2. Parents typically seem to buy a glove that is too big. If you don't know, ask someone or research how to measure/fit a glove for your kid on the web. A glove that is too big will not only be awkward, but will result in dropped balls and delay in your child getting the ball out of the glove to throw. I hope this review helps those considering this glove. March 6, 2014

Terrelle Pryor & Other Key Ohio State Players May Sit Out Sugar Bowl Due to Free Tattoos
Things aren't looking good for Ohio State University and the Sugar Bowl. Several key Buckeye players may not end up playing after they allegedly received free tattoos in exchange for autographs at the Columbus tattoo parlor, Fine Line Ink.
Sources say that OSU officials are meeting for the second straight day to consider compliance issues. The players reportedly involved included: Terrelle Pryor, Dan Herron, DeVier Posey, Travis Howard, Jonathan Newsome, Jorrdan Hall, Chris Fields, and Michael Brewster.
Ohio State takes on Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl on January 4, 2011.
If the NCAA rules Pryor and company have to sit out for Tattoos but Cam Newton plays after receiving upwards of $180K in cash - the NCAA needs to be investigated.
Can't they simply claim they didn't know it happened - that's a free out, right???
I agree with you completely! If they can cover Cam Newton's butt & let him get away with something like that, then they do need to be investigated. Something has to be going on there.
It's bull crap.
Dumb comment Justin. There is no proof Cam took payment and no party came out saying they gave out $. For OSU, their signed memorabilia is sitting in the tattoo shop for all to see and it's been mentioned the proprietor confirmed it as fact. Think before you type.
Your just saying that because you probably like Auburn. Pryor, Herron, Posey, Adams, and Thomas didn't do something as bad as Cam Newton. He stole 180k and OSU Players just traded autographs for tatoos. It is the tatoo guy fault because he is the one that took the autograph.
Well, since it was Miss St that his dad was extorting, and Cam didn't go to Miss St, your allegation makes no sense. But Pryor shouldn't have to sit out.
Show us a link or report where Cam got $180k in cash. You're dreaming.
Wow. You are brilliant. Conversation over with these pearls of wisdom.
Yes i am brilliant, and ur a stupid bi7ch who needs to keep his cocksuckers shut
I don't know the full extent of the regulations other than players cannot accept anything of value from boosters or merchants without paying a fair price for it. A couple years ago I won a Buckeyes team-autographed helmet at a charity raffle and the person who obtained the helmet had to provide photo and signed documentation proving that the helmet was used for charity and not sold for profit. Seems the program knows pretty well about autographs and regulations. Please tell me this is the worst thing someone can dig up on the Buckeyes when fathers are peddling their sons to the highest bidder and they can play and win Heismans. Gimme a break !!
Cam is just as guilty as OJ. Double dose of focker.
Cam didn't have to receive the money. He only had to know that it was being solicited on his behalf. It's highly unlikely that the son didn't know that the father was up to no good...unless of course you live in the fairytale land of Alabama...
The NEW ton standard is now haunting the NCAA for years to come.
At, number 14..
Don't call it the fairy tale land of Alabama, 80% of the state believe he's guilty, and the other 20% just won't admit it.
I truly hope nothing comes from the Newton saga, as I really hope the kid knew nothing of it. I just don't believe that's the case.
Remember, there was no paper trail from the Albert Means case against Alabama.
How did this post go from OSU to Cam Newton??? First of all Cam didn't go to the college his father was trying to sell him to so therefore no harm was done is why the NCAA allowed him to play. Now as for the Buckeyes, face it, they did it, got busted and have to pay the consequences for it. I know you Buckeye fans LOVE them to death but rules are rules and if they were violated they need to sit down. I mean hell it's not like they were going to win anyway.
If I can remember this is not the first time some NCAA violations have come against the university. Wasn't there some kind of violation with the basketball team not that long ago??? Seems to me OSU and its players need to get it right.

Cam took the money and the NCAA gave up. Yes the OSU players should be punished(coming from an OSU fan) but not to this extreme, maybe a quarter to half a quarter.

I mentioned yesterday the value of shopping online this holiday season. Finding the right gift for your outdoorsman can sometimes be difficult in conventional malls and department stores, which is why the Internet poses such a valuable alternative. For instance, yesterday, I noted how Coast offers a variety of hunting and fishing equipment including reliable LED products and quality knives. Today, however, I was reminded of another perfectly suitable gift for the hunter or fisherman in your life that can be found online as well: a license. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), hunting and fishing licenses for 2010 go on sale December 1, giving you plenty of time to make your purchase without setting a foot inside those busy stores.
For $55, you can get a new Juvenile Resident Sports Pac that allows 12 to 17 year olds to fish, hunt, crab and clam all year long. Adult anglers and hunters can get the same experiences with an Adult Sports Pac for $164.75. And senior citizens can get a fishing license for $15 and a hunting license for $13.75. Additionally, raffle tickets start at $4.50 for any hunter who wants an extra chance to hunt big game during an extended season and in an expanded hunt area.

July 11, 2014
ATHENS-----A total of 15 members of the 2014 Georgia baseball team earned a spot on the SEC Academic Roll, the league announced Friday.
Twelve Bulldogs made the 2014 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll and an additional three student-athletes were named to the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll.
The veteran Bulldogs earning this academic distinction included the following: Hunter Cole (Exercise & Sport Science), Grant Earls (Finance), David Gonzalez (Consumer Journalism), Taylor Hicks (Sport Management), Mike Mancuso (Communication Studies), Sean McLaughlin (Marketing), Pete Nagel (Health & Physical Education), Ross Ripple (Risk Management & Insurance), DJ Smith (Management Information Systems), Brandon Stephens (Communication Studies), Austin Wallace (Management) and Conor Welton (History).

The SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2013 Summer, 2013 Fall and 2014 Spring terms, and the student-athletes must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above to qualify. Also, they must have completed 24 semester hours toward a degree and been a member of the varsity team for the entire year.

Choosing a top of the line HDTV
Buying an HDTV is a nightmare these days. There are so many different types of HDTVs readily available that it does get confusing. The key things that you have to be aware before buying a HDTV would be the brand and the type of display technology used.
Samsung is one of the best brands when it comes to HDTVs. They have some of the best HDTVs around. Their line of smart TVs is very popular these days. These TVs can download hundreds of apps from the Samsung app store. These apps allow you to play games, connect online with your friends, or even let you check the weather. They also have a very good line of 3D TVs that are really good.
Once you've decided on the brand it is time to choose the type of display technology used. Presently there are LCD TVs, Plasma TVs and LED TVs. LCD based TVs are the most commonly used ones these days. They are relatively inexpensive and are great if you are buying a TV which is less than 55 inches. Among the Samsung LCD TVs the Samsung LN46C750 46 inch HDTV is a good option. This TV can display 3D content and has great apps such as Netflix through which you can stream your favorite movies.
If you are buying a TV which is over 55 inches it is better to get yourself a Plasma TV. Plasma TVs are perfect if you are planning on buying a large screen TV thanks to their price tag. Their display quality is great on large screen TVs and it is one of the main reasons why TVs above 65 inches are usually plasma based TVs. Among the top Plasma TVs available the ones from Sony and Panasonic are top-notch. The only issue with Plasma TVs would be that you would need to change the display lamp once every 5000 odd hours.
If you are looking at a top-notch HDTV with the best image quality, then you should consider LED based TVs. LED HDTVs are basically LCD TVs with LED backlights. A LCD LED TV offers the best contrast and image sharpness. They are also the thinnest among the different types of HDTVs available. The only drawback with LED TVs is that they are quite expensive. So if you have the budget and crave the best possible picture quality then LED based TVs are what you need.

When in Rome: "The Miracle of an Incorruptible"
Following Catholic Charities staff member Lynn Grandon as she travels to Rome, Italy for the April 27 canonization of Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII.
Lynn and her husband are leading a group of approximately 30 pilgrims from throughout the United States in a whirlwind itinerary.
Beyond the April 27 ceremonies, their group will explore the sights and sounds of Rome and Vatican City.
Listing of all blog entries:
"Basilicas, Basilicas, Basilicas!"
"The Miracle of an Incorruptible"
A visit to the Monastery of St. Benedict and St. Scholastica.
I did NOT know that these two saints were not only brother and sister, they were twins!
That was quite touching for me as the mother of twin girls.
This is a beautiful monastery up steep slopes of thick green trees, absolutely packed with pilgrims because of the canonization.
You can see some original manuscripts from earlier centuries and actual black and white photographs of St. John Paul 2's visit.
This place is filled with frescos, you'll get a sore neck from looking up in amazement!
Also amazing is another INCORRUPTED Saint – St. Chelidonia. She died in the 1100's , was uncovered 500 years later, and her body had not decomposed.
I'm showing you close up photos of her body which is behind glass – if you look closely you can still see the veins on her feet.
These saints' bodies were another one of the incredible reasons that I HAD to embrace the Catholic faith – who in the world can explain this phenomena?
I'm also enclosing a lovely icon and a painting of the Last Supper pre-Michelangelo, with Jesus seated at the far left with John hugging him.
Another sculpture is Benedict in the cave where he spent so much time.
What a privilege to be here as well!
~ Lynn

Swim caps really aren't meant to be watertight, your hair may well get wet (our hair, ears and shape of our heads make it almost impossible to get a completely watertight seal) but by wearing a cap it helps prevent chlorine/oil etc., from damaging your hair because wearing a swim cap prevents that wash through that loose hair gets. Swim caps also helps stop loose hair covering your face while swimming, and help prevent loose hair clogging pool filters.
The Benefits of a Swim Cap: Hair care professionals recommend protecting your hair. Chlorine and salt water both dry, discolor, and damage hair. Chlorine binds to the hair, filling in gaps in the hair shaft. Mineral deposits in salt water make hair brassy and brittle. Both severely dehydrate hair making it not only lose it's natural sheen but also creating "split ends".
A color and treatment hair specialist from one of New York's leading salons recommends wearing a swim cap to help protect your hair from this damage. Protect your hair, wear one of our caps and be the center of fashion too!
