How do I fund an Annual Scholarship?
Donations are accepted in the form of outright contributions, support of special events such as the annual Golf Tournament or StarGala, memorials or honorariums.
How do I establish an Annual Scholarship?
It is easy to establish an Annual Scholarship in your name, in the name of your business or in honor of someone you love. Representatives of the Lone Star College Foundation will work with you to execute an agreement, designed with or without criteria (stipulations, demographics, college or colleges attended, academic standing, academic programs, etc.) as you request.

My feelings are all over the place
Even more as the day progress
Trying to figure out this conundrum
That drifts back a romance blossom,
An old flame, ancient emotion
Rise into temptation
Wrapped me up in a silent vow
Makes me forget here and now,
Despite all the hurry all around
Little details sit idly in my mind
Chaining the time inside
While the world spinning outside,
Thy love, pulses through my soul
Reigniting the past, getting those sparks roll
Invading ability of thoughts to conform
Dragging them over huge brainstorm.

Some people might feel guilty about turning their dog into a domesticated pack animal. Luckily, I'm not one of those people. Don't get me wrong, I love Dewey, but I also love not carrying things. And in my defense, the label on the package of the Singletrak Pack mobile hydration backpack by Ruff Wear clearly states, "Let your dog carry the water!" so obviously, this thing was designed to make my life easier.
First, on a strictly functional level, the pack ($89.95) works pretty well. The two main adjustable straps were intuitive and easy to use. The three smaller adjustable straps that go around the neck area were a little trickier to fine-tune, but you only need to do it once assuming your dog is fully grown. When completely filled, the pack wasn't that heavy, but it tended to roll off to one side. I feel like better, and maybe tighter, strap adjustment on my part would have fixed that though, and once most of the weight of the water was removed toward the end of the hike, it balanced fine. At first, Dewey didn't seem too happy when faced with the reality that he was now my unpaid sherpa, but after about 10 minutes he seemed able to do all the things he normally does on a hike; run, jump and, most important, poop without being bothered by the pack.
When you fill the two plastic Platypus water bladders and fit them snugly into the two side pockets, there isn't much room left in the other two smaller side openings. I used them for things like camera batteries, memory cards, my cell phone, a few simulated bacon-like snacks (for him), a power bar (for me). I could have fit my car keys and wallet in there, but sometimes Dewey likes to take off at the end of our hikes and disappear for 20 minutes, so I decided to hang onto the more important things. I also put my flattened coffee cup in there after I finished drinking – I carry in, he carries out!
If you're the kind of person who likes to use their dog as a conversation starter, or to meet eligible singles, this pack definitely has an attention-getting factor. Every person I passed stopped to ask about it. In my informal poll of seven random hikers, the guys tended to admire its functionality, while the ladies seemed drawn to its appeal as a stylish accessory. Either way, it was a good icebreaker. If you're more of a "leave me and my dog alone" kind of person, you might want to carry your own stuff and skip the pack.
It's functional and cute: What's not to like? I wound up giving most of the water to Dewey because I felt guilty and, well, he looked thirsty. With two full water bladders, though, there was plenty for him and me. Plus, I snuck one of his bacon snacks, which wasn't half bad.

Rocky Jones joins the exploits of clean-cut, square-jawed Rocky Jones. The way you know he's a Space Ranger is that he has Space Ranger on a patch on his uniform. I would have figured him for a Space Ranger without the patch. He'd rather hang out with Winky than chicks. He flies around in a rocket ship and gets into all kinds of trouble. Move over Roger Ramjet, Rocky Jones is on the case.

1/3 cup
1 pound
fresh crabmeat
1 pint
sour cream, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons
tomato paste
2 tablespoons
dry sherry
2 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
This is a great recipe. I really liked it just as it is, but on my second shot I threw in 1 tbsp minced garlic and served in over portabella mushroom caps. HEAVEN!!
This recipe is great as-is. No modifications are necessary. This shouldn't be served as main course meal. For the past 5 years we served this, double-size, every year for Christmas Eve. Serve with crackers, or your other favorite bread snack. My only alteration is I add 50% more crab meat. It makes for a more dense crab, if you like it more like hearty stew.

This recipe was not what I expected, although I did you canned crabmeat. It looked like mac N cheese. Not a good presentation for supper.
This is a simple yet great recipe. The secret, as always, is in the ingredients. FRESH crab and parmesan reggiano really kick it off. I add scallops and mushrooms when it's a "special" dinner.

Fans may be missing some of Helen Flanagan's more obvious assets now I'm A Celebrity is over, but how about her pout?
She's been accused of overdoing it a bit, but there's no doubt that a pout can have some clout!
Lip fillers are a quick and simple way to add Va Va Voom to any pout and many regard full, plump lips as a sign of youth and beauty.
The natural ageing process causes lips to get thinner and lose definition.
Lip enhancements are chosen by women of all ages who either have naturally thin lips or whose lips have become thinner with age and lost their definition.
Juvéderm® ULTRA SMILE helps fight the signs of aging by addressing the lips' texture and smoothness; filling lines and wrinkles adding volume for a fresh, natural, new look.
42-year old Gwen Stefani was rocking her signature bold lips at the recent Teen Choice awards, she is rumored to of had a little help from Juvéderm® ULTRA SMILE fillers.
Juvéderm® is a unique range tailored to add volume to the delicate lip and mouth area. As well as creating a pretty pout, it smoothes any fine lines to enhance the mouth area as a whole.
Juvéderm® ULTRA Range is exceptionally gentle. As the lip area is delicate and sensitive, it is formulated to contain added local anesthetic, which makes the treatment as comfortable as possible.
As well as the Juvéderm® range, The Hospital group offer an extensive variety of non-surgical treatments and products, including BOTOX® and skin peels. Depending on your requirements, these can be very successfully used to complement Juvéderm® treatment if you wish.

DeLand, FL 32720
Cardiac Drill Prepares Florida Hospital DeLand to Offer Advanced Cardiac Procedures
On July 5, Florida Hospital DeLand will be licensed by the state to perform Interventional Cardiac Procedures, such as stents or angioplasties.
posted Jun 30, 2011 - 4:08:19pm
DELAND – After investing 18 months in planning and preparation, Florida Hospital DeLand is ready to provide patients with interventional cardiac procedures for those experiencing inadequate blood flow to the heart resulting in a heart attack.
For the past 10 years, Florida Hospital DeLand has been able to diagnose heart problems in their cardiac catheterization lab, but has been unable to perform the necessary procedures to fix the problem. As of July 5, Florida Hospital DeLand will be licensed by the state of Florida to provide Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), such as stents and angioplasties, to restore blood flow of a blocked vessel that brings vital blood and oxygen to the heart muscle.
On June 28, Florida Hospital DeLand completed their final cardiac drill, a precursor to the July 5 PCI procedures start date. This drill was one of many that occurred over the past several months, simulating numerous scenarios.
In addition to serving as a necessary requirement to become fully licensed by the state Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), this drill took place in downtown DeLand and was an opportunity to educate the community on the importance of avoiding a delay in emergency medical care by calling 911. With recent advancements in the emergency medical system, EVAC can now transmit vital information, such as an electrocardiogram to the Florida Hospital DeLand's ER, so that the hospital staff can prepare in advance of a patient's arrival with a "STEMI" (ST elevated Myocardial Infarction, or heart attack).
"Increasing the use of EMS among these patients can reduce total ischemic time by an average of almost 30 minutes," lead author and researcher, Robin Mathews, MD, noted in a recent publication of the American Heart Association medical journal, Circulation.
During the drill, Bill Jennings, owner of the popular Bill & Frank's Brick House Grill in downtown DeLand, simulated the typical symptoms of a cardiac event, pretending to feel chest pain, shortness of breath, and even collapsing on the sidewalk outside Dublin Station, 105 West Indiana Avenue, DeLand. Jennings' two friends actually called 911 to report the onset of his condition and pretended to use an Automatic Electronic Defibrillator (AED) while they waited for emergency personnel to arrive and transport him to Florida Hospital DeLand's Emergency Room.
"Before obtaining this licensure, patients with a cardiac condition like Bill's would have needed to be emergently transferred to Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center in Daytona Beach or airlifted to Orlando," said Marlene Thomas, Director of Cardiopulmonary and Cardiovascular Services at Florida Hospital DeLand. "It's a struggle for patients that have to leave the area and to be transferred. That time during the transfer is time wasted, and time that we could use to open the vessel and save heart muscle."
Once EVAC arrived to Florida Hospital DeLand's ER, the drill continued with ER staff performing tests to confirm that his "symptoms" were in fact that of a cardiac event. He was then whisked off to the hospital's Cardiac Catheterization Lab, where Interventional Cardiologist Christiane Theilade, MD, was ready to open Jennings' blocked artery.
All in all, it took 32 minutes from the time Jennings arrived to Florida Hospital DeLand's ER to the time the balloon would have been inflated and opened his constricted artery – much shorter than the national gold standard of 90 minutes.
"Time is muscle," said Dr. Theilade. "The faster you can get the patient treated, the better outcome you will have."
PCI is a big need within the DeLand community, Dr. Theilade added.
"I see a very large number of patients with coronary artery disease and there are a lot of patients that come in with heart attacks," she said.
In fact, in the past year, the hospital has had 550 diagnostic cardiac cases and approximately a third of those needed interventional treatment.
"Families tend to get very anxious when you tell them you have to transfer the patient somewhere else," Dr. Theilade said. "Most of them are local people and they are very familiar and comfortable with this hospital, and I think this is something they really waited for."

Little Lagoon Pools has been serving this market for well over 25 years. As a certified Pool Contractor and a Florida General Contractor there is not much we have not done. Thank you for visiting our website, please have a look around and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
Home improvement tips
If a person already has a pool then they should consider getting a slide for their pool. The slide will be easy to install and bring new life to an old pool. People can newly enjoy what they already have had. Buying a slide can be an easy way to improve a pool.
Major home improvements to a property such as erecting a garage or installing a pool may require permits and permission from your local Council before the work is commenced. If you are not sure of the local regulations or are planning on undertaking structural changes to the property, hire a professional to assist you to avoid costly mistakes or fines at a later date.
Seriously reconsider adding a swimming pool to your backyard. A pool can be an enjoyable addition to a home. What some people fail to realize is that they are also very expensive. Not only are there the initial costs to consider, there is also the cost of regular upkeep. Make sure you have the money and time required, to keep your pool area from falling into disrepair, before you spend the money on it.
If you are concerned about adding value to your home, do not put in a swimming pool during your next home improvement project. The upkeep on a pool is very time consuming, and they are also difficult to clean. Your energy would be better spent on a project (such as a garden) that will give you a better return on the amount of money you are spending.
If you have an in-ground or above-ground swimming pool, invest the extra money to build a secure, gated fence around the perimeter of the pool. This will increase the value of your home, but its most important function is to prevent children or pets from wandering too close to the pool and risking accidental falls or drowning.
Pay attention to your location. If you live in an area where most homes have pools, then it is definitely a sound investment for your home. However, if you live in an area where having a pool really is not feasible, such as North Dakota or Alaska, ask yourself if it is really worth it to have something you will not be using that often.
If one loves water and swimming then getting their own pool may be just the home improvement thing for them. There are many options for different kinds of pools one can get for their home allowing a custom fit pool for one's needs. A pool can be just the thing for home improvement.
When renovating your home, make sure that you do it with the local area in mind. There is little point in building a large, outdoor deck area if it is constantly windy or putting up a pool in an area where it is constantly cold. These additions will not add value to the property and are, therefore, wasted money.
If you're looking to build some recreational fun into your home, keep in mind that anything that poses as a potential hazard can raise your home insurance premiums. Adding a swimming pool or trampoline for the kids can increase your yearly premiums as much as 10 percent. Make sure to take this into consideration prior to purchasing to determine if the benefits outweigh the additional insurance costs.
Don't ignore local characteristics when adding improvements. A pool is perfect in Orlando, but not so much in Vermont. A beach house with a deck works well in southern California, but the winds at the beach in Hyannis, Massachusetts would blow away every last deck chair. Features that are not usable in your area's climate will add no value to your home.
Follow the above tips, and the investments you make into home improvements will be wise expenditures of both your energy and the resources it takes to complete a project. From the smallest project to the most complex, home improvement can be rewarding and worthwhile in many ways — as long as you pay attention to tips like these.

Who will be the Ashley Ridge quarterback; who will he throw the ball to; and who will run the ball for the Swamp Foxes?
Ashley Ridge football fans can gain insight into the potential answers to these questions and more Monday during the 2013 Swamp Fox Cardinal and White Spring Game.
For the event, scheduled for 6 p.m. at The Swamp, members of the Ashley Ridge football team will be divided into two teams for an inter-team scrimmage. Offensive players will line up for the Cardinal team and defensive players will line up for the White team.
Coaches have established a point system just for the scrimmage that awards points to the offensive squad when it does things like move the ball and enter the end zone and points to the defensive squad when it stops the other squad from gaining yards.
The Spring Game will mark the end of Ashley Ridge's spring football practice, which opened May 1.
"Largely, we've worked on the basics this spring," Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker said. "We have a lot of new kids and kids who will be in new positions so we have focused on teaching them the fundamentals of those positions. We don't have many skills players back with experience, but we have some talented young kids and some guys who have kind of been waiting around to get their chance so we are excited."
The Swamp Foxes will lose their starting quarterback, both starting running backs and some of their top receivers to graduation. However, Ashley Ridge does return three experienced offensive linemen – Tyler Moss, Jonathan Byrd and Keith Clark.
Five players are vying for the starting QB position.
Ashley Ridge is pretty young on defense but it does return four linemen on that side of the ball with varsity experience. That includes all-region athlete Josh Springer.
The team has some holes to fill in the defensive backfield but does have some experience there. Senior Kendall Felder returns to the safety position after receiving all-region honors last season.
"We lost three starting linebackers, but we have a couple of players with experience there and the young players in that position are showing so much promise that we may end up moving a linebacker to another position so we can get more of those guys on the field," Walker said. "We will have some new guys in the secondary but things seem to be developing there."

Cow in My Yard.
It happens from time to time. A wayward cow or calf breaks from the herd, finds a breach in a fence or decides to negotiate a cattle guard, and winds up in my yard. I'm used to it by now. Not that I didn't experience a few heart palpitations and freak-out attacks when I first moved to the country, walked outside to breathe the fresh morning air, and was greeted by a 1,400-pound cow standing on my porch. Or heard a noise outside my bedroom at 3 a.m. only to peer outside my window and see two big bovine eyeballs staring back at me. It's just not something my psyche was ever really programmed to deal with. But through the years, slowly but surely, I've accepted it as a part of life.
I probably wouldn't have known about this cow today had I not been alerted by my highly vicious watchdog, Charlie, who was deeply disturbed that his own private yard had been invaded by such an imposing creature.
And yeah, you're just going to have to look past my overturned lawn chairs and overgrown grass for the next eight years, or until it stops storming…whichever comes first.
The mama cow didn't seem the least bit concerned with Charlie. Because the fact is, Charlie's short. And she knows she could flatten him in 2.1 seconds, and in fact, she tried once or twice. Eventually, she was able to step on his tail and he ran whimpering to the porch, where he regrouped, regained his Short Man Syndrome, and continued barking.
Charlie wasn't gonna let her have the last word.
Normally, cows are a little more skittish than this. But homegirl just sat there and stared at me as I slowly walked in her direction.
Hello, Sweet Girl. Do not be afraid. I mean you no har… har… har… ATCHOOOOOOO!
Dangit. I don't think I've never sneezed that loudly in my life.
That's all it took; the cow was OUTTA there.
And I must say, it's a shame still photos can't adequately capture what was happening with her teats as she exited the yard. The jiggle…the jiggle was… unbelievable. I just sat there and watched in udder amazement.
Look—here you can clearly see them swinging wildly to the right. And strangely, it didn't remind me so much of the "female human counterpart", if you get my drift. What it actually reminded me of was the unfortunate thing that happens to the underside of the upper arms of women over the age of 38.
I mean…the unfortunate thing that I'VE HEARD happens to the underside of the upper arm of women over the age of 38. I heard it somewhere. That's the only way I would ever know about it—if I heard it somewhere. And I think I heard it at the doughnut shop.
Goodbye, Sweet Girl. I'm sorry I sneezed. But all this rain is giving my sinuses fits. Thank you for helping me bring to the attention of my readers a universal struggle of all women, everywhere, no matter what the species: Jiggle. It's high time we increase awareness about it. Thank you for helping me spread the word.
Call me crazy, but I think we might have made a connection, this mama cow and me. Either that, or she's memorizing my face so she'll never make the dreaded mistake of coming within 500 yards of me again.
I prefer to assume the former.

Forgot in my excitement of possibly being 1st to say I have jiggle syndrome. Very sad……
Tawanda On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:35 am
Great pics. I've been waiting for another post.
Becky On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:35 am
I LOVE these pics….
Gina B. On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:35 am
I don't think I would ever get used to two bovine eyeballs staring me down outside my window!
Brandi On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:35 am
Shoot. I think the cow should stay. Charlie so rarely gets to see the action up close!
What's funny is I noticed the jiggling teats before you said it. LIke minded, I tell you.
AmandaAmandaAmanda On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:35 am
Beautiful. I am in the top ten…wow
Carin On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:36 am
Great pics. We had a small herd get into our yard years ago. It was in the middle of the night and I was soooo tired I couldn't figure out what was going on. That will wake you up in a hurry though!
Coffee Bean On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:36 am
Whu?!?!?! I didn't even realize I got in here just after you posted. Woo Hoo! And… I actually have a life today. Okay… I was number three… let's see what this one comes in at after typing this. And I am a fast typer.
wright On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:36 am
Oh, Jiggle. It's my life's foe!
romi On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:37 am
Sneezing is the new way to herd cows.
Serenity On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:37 am
Reminds me of that song…"Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow"
Also ….Woo Hoo can't believe I am this close to the top of the comment list!!
Denise On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:37 am
Great pictures, as always!
Caroline On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:37 am
Ree, ya need to write a book for little'uns called Life On The Cattle Ranch, and illustrate it with your own photos. How fun would THAT be!??
Coffee Bean On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:37 am
Interesting. Number 12… hmmmm… all the PW groupies are not with it this morning. Usually when I post twice… no matter how quick… I'm like 30 more down or something.
Okay, so I totally lied about me having a life today.
Robin On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:37 am
Conection? Maybe she can sense your PREGNANT! My "teats" are doing the same thing lately when I can't be bothered to properly uhm support them. Not fun! I feel her Mama Cow pain!
Kimmer On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:37 am
Darn that gravity and darn that centrifugal force!
Sadly, I know how she feels…
GK in MI On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:38 am
Top 20? I am surprised your little cowpokes didn't take great delight in chasing her out of the yard.
Carla On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:38 am
Hilarious!! Thanks for more awesome pics!! You are inspiring me to get out more with my wimpy little kodak easyshare camera & hope for something with muscle in the near future
Janice On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:38 am
Cool pics!
Starwoodgal (aka Jamie) On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:38 am
"I got arms, that jingle jangle jingle"
That's funny. My friend and I were shopping the other day and she always does the "wave" test when buying a shirt or blouse. She called it the "flap factor".
Ginger in LA On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:39 am
cool ! i would love to be you
Jamie On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:40 am
HaHa hilarious Ree ! It reminds me of the time that a opossum was staring me down through my kitchen window while I was washing dishes, I was ok until the teeth appeared then the blood curdling scream woke the hubby and well I don't know who moved faster the hubby or the oppossum…
PENSIEVE (the ROBIN one) On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:40 am
Well…you just don't see THAT every day…and by "that" I mean the "girls" jigglin'…
Stephanie On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:40 am
jiggle syndrome …no idea what that could be "wink, wink"
Stephani in Wyoming On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:40 am
My uncle once had some land in Stepheville Tx where he raised sheep and his neighbors cattle were always wondering over. I was in middle school at the time and I remember once we were visiting and at the time he was living in a trailer and one night we woke up a horrible sound and the trailer was rockin… lol! lol! One of the neighbors cows had decided she needed a good back scratch in the middle of the night. Until we knew what was happening it was pretty scary… lol! lol! Cows are ok! As long as its not bulls in your yard. THAT would be really scary!! lol! lol! lol! Have a great day!
Stefanie On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:41 am
Great, thanks – turning 38 this year and am feeling the arm swing thing……I gotta get to the gym!
Anonymous On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:41 am
When she's not running helter-skelter, jiggling as she goes, she looks pretty relaxed and almost majestic, don't ya think? Maybe even udderly amazing! Ha!
I've had FIVE kids, all C-section, and I can jiggle if I WANT to! I deserve it.
WHAT Robin? Ree is pregnant?? Ree! True??
The Mother Ship On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:41 am
What a Darlin'! Was she sniffin your herbs? Good thing Charlie was there…no telling what might have happened.
Lisa On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:41 am
Rain, rain go away… wait a minute… jiggle, jiggle go away!
PENSIEVE (the ROBIN one) On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:42 am
Ooooo, and YOU, my dear, are indirectly responsible for this fun news :).
Nathan On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:42 am
What a pretty cow! Reminds me… One Christmas morning when I was a kid we woke up to the neighbors cows outside our windows, ruining our flowerbeds and trees. This was after we moved off the farm and thought we were done waking up to cows in the yard.
nikki On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:42 am
Don't you think it's about time to get that cow a bra?! No wonder why she's in your yard. Complaining about gravity and all!
MaryB in Richmond On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:43 am
I think that girl might have a little chestal jiggle going on, too … she's certainly got that over-38 DROOP going on up front!
I've, you know, HEARD about that….
Barb On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:43 am
Homegirl needs to get fitted for a better bra!
Pony Girl On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
Oh thank goodness! I am only 37. I have another year of body bliss before I have to worry about all that jiggle!
Carolyn On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
Know all about the jiggle. Been trying to fight it my whole life. The body just wins hands down. Yes, I did notice the swing and sway in udderville. Don't all women notice that on cows? Maybe it's just me.
Christy On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
Oh me. I am only in my early 30s and my daughter confirmed the news for me just the other day. She was lovingly kissing my arm and I asked her what she was doing. "I'm kissing you right on the jiggles, Mama," is what she said.
Rosemary On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
My comments went in as Anonymous? How cum?
I'm Rosemary, have five kids C-section, and deserve to jiggle whenever I want, but anonymous? No!
By the way, Ree, my email address, in case you are considering giving me permission to paint your photos, is:[email protected]……just so you know……
Kelly On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
Udderly amazing. Sorry, a little redundant, but fun none the less.
Lisaiz On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
"udder amazement" – you are too funny!
Go get 'em, Charlie!
Thanks for the morning laugh!
Jaana On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
If I found a cow in my yard, I'd probably: 1. Freak out, 2. Go get my camera, and 3. Moooo at her until she ran away.
Did you know, that if you drive by a herd of cows and yell "MOOOOOO" really loud at them, they look at you? Like you're crazy?
This is how I entertain myself on Friday nights.
Karen On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
Exactly what type of cow is that?? Is it a brown Swiss/ Have never seen one like that………here in Wisconsin we have the good old Holsteins, that one thar, looks like a foreigner!
Iva On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
Your pictures are udderly…um…uTTerly amazing as always, Ree.
Linda F. On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:44 am
Brought back some childhood (which was an extremely long time ago) memories. I thought it was so neat to wake up on a summer's morn and see our lovely Holstein's (I spent my formative years on a mostly-dairy farm) grazing in the front yard. I never quite understood why it was such a big deal. They were obviously too dumb to run too far. And grass didn't need mowed for a while.
You do take some lovely pictures! Too bad you haven't added scrapbooking to your list of obsessions. And believe me, it is an addiction!
Literarysnob On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:45 am
Some have said it was motherhood…it's really gravity and old age now that's what really sucks!
If you are worried about the "juggle" just wait until the "saggy," and "creeky" come. When you suddnly realize that you cannot move with out the dreaded "sound effects!"
*literarysbnob gets up from computer…grooan…creek in the knees…*
two guys, a girl and a weiner dog On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:45 am
This reminds me of growing up with our cattle….the pure panic of the cattle getting out, trying to make my 9 year-old self look big enough to scare them back into the pasture, and trying to stay brave while they run toward you. Good times….
Julie On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:46 am
Thanks for the laugh! I just got back from a run…I'm fighting the jiggle!
Colleen On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:46 am
I love the colors in these photos. I hope you do a post in your Photography section explaining how you did it!
Lynda On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:47 am
What wonderful photos you take – they tell the whole story, but your way with words make them even better – thanks!
Helz On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:47 am
You So Know how to turn the Everyday into a Chuckle… Luv Charlie's Rear End Shot…
Valarie in AL On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:47 am
Oh it reminds me of my house. We have had one try to fall in the pool, and the others always seem to get out and go roaming when all the men folk are gone. Do you know how hard it is to get the cows up when your dressed for work in your heels. Its not a pretty sight, funny maybe but not pretty. :o)
Hallie On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:48 am
Over 38 you say? I'm 38 right now so am I still safe? Crap, next year I guess everything starts to go down hill…
Ann On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:49 am
Sweetheart, you aint seen nothing yet … wait till you turn 50! It's .. uh … not cute no more. Wah.
Miz Booshay On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:49 am
Cool editing!
I would be so tickled to have a cow in my yard.
shelley On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:51 am
Sometimes there's a cow in my yard too… oh wait, no, that's just me…. nevermind.
Photography By Shay On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:51 am

Ah yes, I've "heard" that some story in a doughnut shop, too….wise old lady called 'em "Bat Wings". Funny, huh? I'm sooo glad I'm not related to her Ü
lidia On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:52 am
I love those backside shots of Charlie. His front legs are so cute! The ONLY time and place it's OK to jiggle is in tap class:)
ms ellie On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:52 am
Oh, the dreaded Jiggle disease. I've also heard about that somewhere. Maybe there will be a cure. Maybe not.
Tracy On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:53 am
…shoot, I meant "same" story….I haven't had my keg o' coffee yet.
Jill S. On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:53 am
Jiggle. It's a bad word in my book.
Nevis On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:53 am
I definatly think you had a connection.
Jill S. On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:53 am
P.S. Loved the coloring of the photographs.
Ellen in NY On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:54 am
Turnin' 40 this year, have the jiggle, the sagging and just started the creakin'. Aging is great, isn't it?
Mamadallama On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:54 am
What? INCREASE jiggle awareness? I thought we were supposed to HIDE it! I'm going to continue on the path of hiding jiggleyness! Nice cow though, and how often does anyone get to make the 'udder' pun. Cool beans!
Barbara in Texas On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:55 am
Poor Charlie – he just gets no respect.
v & co On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:55 am
have the same thing happen to me on a regular basis. her name is #628 and she belongs to the ranchers who own the land that butts up to my property…i've grown fond of her because she seems to be spunkier than the other cows…
margaret in SC On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:55 am
Jigglers of the world–unite!
sweetdoggirl On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:55 am
Love the photos!! Why does that back view of Charlie always crack me up so? He's so funny lookin'. I mean, adorable.
The cow is beautiful. I was glad to see her NOT full of milk. It pains me to see a full udder, I just remember that feeling so well.
Some jiggle is good. Only in specific places though. My upper arms is NOT one of those places.
Rhea On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:56 am
I'd love to wake up and find a cow in my yard. That's awesome! I miss cows. And, that was some awesome jiggle action on her, I could see it, I swear. Poor Charlie, trying to defend the homestead. He's a brave little man…until his tail was squashed. lol
cdelphine On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:56 am
A couple times in high school a cow ended up on our practice fields. I don't know where she came from, we're surrounded by corn fields not cattle herds.
Love the photos, charlie is hilarious
Sandie On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:56 am
Why worry about your grass–let a few cows in your yard & they'll 'cut' it for you. lol I don't have cows in my yard. I'd like cows in my yard so long as they stay out of my gardens.
Video Mom On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:57 am
Yep. I'm 38 too. I'm aware of the JIGGLE. I'm beginning to hate sleeveless shirts.
Debbie On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:57 am
I just LOVE Charlie's disposition and he's sooooo photogenic, great pic! Great post and pics and I just love that view out the back and as for the momma cow, she looked right ta home.
Well, I touched down on 40 and the jiggle you're talking about, well, I don't wanna' go there… but I'm a workin' on it. tee hee.
Nancy On Tuesday, June 17 at 10:58 am

And…ummm, another mama-ish posts … hint hint?

Beefmasters are beautiful!
Jeanette On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:00 am
JIGGLE JIGGLE to and foe, That's way I don't run I'm afraid I would get knocked silly as they go flying over my shoulders. The arms are entertainment when I'm doing my hair in the morning that's way it takes so long for me to get going . lol
sharon On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:01 am
I guess I would worry about her leaving gifts in all that tall grass. You wouldn't be expecting them….squish!
Jackie On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:02 am
That swinging udder makes me think of when I have had to run without a bra on…
Quite a spectacle!
And about the arm flaps… don't EVEN get me started!
I'm sure that Charlie can relate with those eaaaars of his!
(I wonder if he ever dreams of flying with those?!)
I loved the pics! I must go now… for some reason, I have a hankering for a milkshake!!
Jennifer Robin On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:04 am
I had to laugh when you said about hearing something outside at 3 am and looking out to see bovine eyes looking back at you. We have the same problem here, only it's the deer. I don't know if I will ever be able to get used to waking up in the middle of the night and hearing something wandering around right outside my bedroom window! They also like to bed down on the grass adjoining my patio. There's nothing more unnerving than seeing something moving around right outside the french doors in the dark, even when it turns out to just be one of the resident deer!
KayBinMustang On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:04 am
Seein' the cow(s) in my yard, I could handle. I can relate to that jingle jangle thang. But what would have scared the beejeebies outta me would be lookin' out the window at 3:00am & seeing the two eyes looking at me. My screems would have woken up our entire state.
Amanda On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:05 am
Ree I totally think ya'll made a connection! LOL, she is a pretty mama
Katie K. On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:06 am
She is quite a pretty cow! So where was her baby? She didn't bring him along? I love the comparison to arm jiggles. Here in Utah we call that "Relief Society Arm" cuz when you are standing in front of everyone leading music in Relief Society it's especially noticeable. Ugh.
Darlyne On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:06 am
That jiggle looks uncomfortable. Poor Mama.
I love the picture of Charlie on the porch watching the cow.
Awwwwww he is so adorable.
Deb On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:06 am
That is awesome! ~waves hi to Charlie!!!~
Leslie On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:06 am
I like to call the jiggle my "Bingo" arms.
You just have to do a little wave and say "BiiinGooo"
It will make you feel better.
Also for some reason, I think anything you say at bingo is funny, but mostly because you're trying to be quiet and that makes it even more funny.
Angela in Ohio On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:06 am
Thanks for the memory!: My grandmother died with Alzheimers 4 years ago. The last year she just talked a lot and one of the things she would tell complete strangers was " I hate it when the cows get out", and we would just say, "me too, Gramma, me too". The cows on her farm didn't get out all that often, but to hear her tell it, it was a daily occurance. Your cow story gave me a smile and reminded me of Gramma today
Nancy On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:07 am
Love this post!
Maria On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:10 am
Ah, I loved that cow. She's a beauty, jiggle and all. And that angle on Charlie had him looking positively leggy. Perhaps it's all in the photography and Charlie would feel better about himself if he could see how tall he looks from that angle. It wasn't you, obviously that got rid of that mean cow. It was Charlie.
Sorry about all the rain, and quit sending it East already! We've got a 10 hundred day forecast of rain.
Krissa On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:10 am
Oh, I think we're all well aware of the jiggle…
Deb. On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:11 am
too funny, I need a cow in my yard!
and the rock walls- love them!!!
Heathahlee On Tuesday, June 17 at 11:12 am
Before I read any further down, I noticed those thigs swingin', and I just knew you would mention them…I laughed out loud!

Fun pics Ree. Love the stone around your yard. Assuming it's been there for years? Would love to hear the history.

The Center for European Studies offers workshops throughout the academic year and summer for K-16 teachers. In addition to the foreign language workshops, we also offer workshops focused on area studies.
Often available for Continuing Education Credits, these workshops focus on aspects of Europe solely or in relation to other parts of the world.
Past workshops have included At the Crossroads: Integrating the Balkans into the European Union and Teaching with Defiance: Jewish Resistance and the Bielski Partisans.
All workshops aim to provide information for teachers to become more familiar with the subject matter as well as provide materials or information that can be taken back to the classroom.
All of these area studies workshops are free of charge.
Please view the News and Events pages on our site for announcements about upcoming workshops.
Hemispheres Summer Institute
Each year, Hemispheres, the international outreach consortium at the University of Texas at Austin, hosts a multi-day workshop on one topic that is covered from five different area perspectives.
The 2012 Institute was: The City. The four-day workshop on the UT campus was geared toward world cultures, world geography, and world history educators in which we explored the meaning and place of the city-and all that it encompasses-in human history. We provided content lectures, teaching materials, and classroom strategy sessions to prepare teachers to present the city as a lens through which students can better understand the world.
Registration fees are required for the Summer Institute and, because of the limited number of attendees we are able to accept, seating is on a first-paid, first registered basis. In past years, registration fees have been $75. Housing at low-cost is available for teachers attending from out of Austin.
Please view the CES News or Events pages for announcements about the 2013 Institute or visit the Hemispheres website for this and other Outreach information.

How Will the Uninsured in Louisiana Fare Under the Affordable Care Act?
This state report explains how the ACA expands coverage in Louisiana, including a breakdown of how many uninsured people are eligible for Medicaid, how many are eligible for financial assistance to help them buy private insurance in the new Marketplace and how many will not receive any financial assistance at all. The report also details, in specific dollar figures, the income levels at which people in Louisiana are eligible for Medicaid or financial assistance in the Marketplace. For states not expanding Medicaid, the report quantifies how many uninsured people fall into the "coverage gap," meaning they will be ineligible for financial assistance in the Marketplace or for Medicaid in their state despite having an income below the federal poverty level.Fact Sheet Read More

Get your Eco-Swag on
Posted by Team Swagbucks on Wed, December 8th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
For those of us that aim to find ways to green our every step, it feels like we are constantly striving to remind people and create new ways to eliminate paper and plastic from our desk, home and more. We always forget about the value of our most important resource: water! It is important that you are just as conservative and protective over your water as you are over the use of paper. In the Eco-Swag section of the Swag Store you can find two ways to help you conserve water.
Shower time digital star:Using a shower timer is a great way to conserve water and in turn help the environment. Set your waterproof timer to ten minutes, and it will display a count-down timer with a buzzer alarm. It also includes a real time clock. Getting used to the shower timer will then remind you that it is a luxury to allow yourself the occasional long, steamy showers that most of us tend to enjoy more often than necessary; The EcoUsable Bottles:
Your average water bottle never gets finished; gets left behind and the remaining water goes to waste. Not only does the water go to waste, but the plastic bottle goes into the dump and is NOT biodegradable. We all know the excess damage caused by our waste and paper consumption, so I won't get into all the grimy details but I do ask that you don't forget about the one resource we are the MOST dependent on: water.
These products are both under 2000 SB and with your eco-conscious purchase you can spread the word about the importance of conserving all your resources – including your own finances – and how Swagbucks helps you do that everyday!
Until Next Time,
Code Hunt

New Mexico Tax Amnesty
By KRWG News
New Mexico – New Mexico's tax department is promising relief from sleeplessness, panic attacks, high blood pressure and other ills: Just pay your back taxes.
The Taxation and Revenue Department unveiled a tax amnesty program Monday that will allow New Mexico businesses and residents to avoid interest and penalties while catching up on unpaid taxes.
The program began Monday and runs through Sept. 30.
It's for tax years prior to 2010.
State tax officials estimate the amnesty program could bring in $7 million.
Some $5.5 million would go to the state general fund. The remaining $1.5 million would go to various local governments.

Award-winning filmmakers Bruce Sinofsky and Joe Berlinger (of the Paradise Lost films on HBO) direct Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, a documentary about rock stars in therapy. After 20 years of heavy metal, a few members of Metallica decide to hire psychologist Phil Towle to work out some group tensions during the making of their album St. Anger. Most of the therapy sessions involve drummer Lars Ulrich and singer/guitarist James Hetfield, with some input from guitarist Kirk Hammett. Also included are former band members Dave Mustaine of Megadeth and ex-bassist Jason Newsted. The band works through difficulties in group dynamics, personal demons, and relationship issues. The film shows recording sessions as well as therapy sessions, including the recruitment of bassist Robert Trujillo. The much-publicized controversies of Internet file-sharing and Hetfield's drug rehabilitation are also discussed. In 2003, Metallica released the album St. Anger on Elektra Records. Metallica: Some Kind of Monster was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004 as part of the American Spectrum competition. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Holidays no excuse to throw away healthy habits
CORPUS CHRISTI - This week marks not only the end of election season, but the start of what could be called temptation season. A barrage of retail advertisements, sweet treats, and holiday gatherings will compete for our time and energy over the next six weeks.
It's easy for exercise and healthy eating to drop to the bottom of the priority list. Before you know it, you'll be making a New Year's resolution to work off all that pumpkin pie.
It doesn't have to happen that way.
Retailers spend big money understanding and manipulating our habits. However, we can harness the power of habit for our own good, and some fascinating research shows us how.
Scientists have determined that to save energy, our brains turn routine activities into automated processes. Many of the choices that we think of as reasoned and purposeful are actually habit-driven, as Charles Duhigg describes in his recent book, "The Power of Habit."
This explains why, when we're not used to a morning workout, it feels incredibly hard to reach for running shoes rather than our typical comfy slippers.
The key to overriding unwanted behavior, Duhigg says, is to analyze our habits and manipulate them. A habit has three steps: a cue, a routine, and a reward. The easiest way to make changes is to identify the cue and reward, then insert a new routine.
I can vouch that this works, because years ago I stumbled upon the method unknowingly when struggling to wake up for 5:30 a.m. workouts. I finally found that the only reliable plan was to go to sleep in my workout clothes, whether that meant running shorts, cycling gear, or, bizarrely enough, even my bathing suit. However, waking up ready provided enough of a push that I did run, bike, or swim at 5:30 a.m. After a few months, I got used to waking up early. I found I could go back to normal sleepwear and still get ready on time, because the pattern was established.
Now I'm using my recognition of habit loops to break a potato chip eating routine. Every morning, hungry from my workout, I would arrive at my desk, find the chips I'd packed in my lunch, and eat them as a second breakfast. I allowed them to move from an occasional treat to a daily reward, but it was not a healthy habit. I recently started packing grapes instead. The cue is the same: arriving at my desk. The reward is the same: munching on something tasty. I just changed the routine. So far it's working, and I'm just as satisfied.
This time of year, if you find yourself about to skip a workout, make a purchase, or grab a treat when you're not hungry, stop and think about whether you're on autopilot. Then realize that if it's a habit behavior, you have the power to intervene.

The second section in Margaret Atwood's Selected Poems 1965-1975 entitled "from The Animals in That Country" focuses more on her Canadian background than the first section. One theme is that of Canada as wilderness. The title poem begins with the stanza "In that country the animals/ have the faces of people" and ends with "In this country the animals/ have the faces of/animals" suggesting that Canada still has room for wild animals, unlike most modern countries. In "At the Tourist Centre in Boston," (Do you really think the people in Boston can't spell Center correctly?) she objects to the mythic country portrayed to Americans to attract them to Canada. Not being Canadian, I wasn't particularly attracted by this theme, but, having traveled there extensively, I do understand their resentment of America.
My favorite long poem is called "Progressive Insanities of a Pioneer" for it seems to describe mankind, not just a pioneer, quite accurately. It begins, "He stood, a point/ on a sheet of green paper/ proclaiming himself the centre." Of course, this is the way a pioneer must begin, but it also sounds a lot like our description of ourselves as we think of ourselves as the center of the universe and everything must surely revolve around us! The fifth stanza begins, "For many years/ he fished for a great vision,/ dangling the hooks of sown/ roots under the surface/ of the shallow earth./ It was like/enticing whales with a bent/ pin." The poem concludes, "… the green/ vision, the unnamed/ whale invaded? In this case, the pioneer, like so many others, was defeated by the power of nature. Since we are obviously well beyond that stage, I wonder what "stage of insanities" we must be at, and whether by destroying nature we are not truly defeating ourselves.
My favorite poem in this section also deals with this theme. It's called "Elegy for the Giant Tortoises:"
Let others pray for the passenger pigeon
the dodo, the whooping crane, the eskimo:
everyone must specialize
I will confine myself to a meditation
upon the giant tortoises
withering finally on a remote island.
I concentrate in subway stations,
in parks, I can't quite see them,
they move to the peripheries of my eyes
but on the last day they will be there;
already the event
like a wave travelling shapes vision:
on the road where I stand they will materialize
plodding past me in a straggling line
awkward without water
their small heads pondering
from side to side, their useless armour
sadder than tanks and history,
in their closed gaze ocean and sunlight paralysed
lumbering up the steps, under the archways
toward the square glass altars
where the brittle gods are kept,
the relics of what we have destroyed,
our holy and obsolete symbols.
The poem is an elegy, and an elegy is usually a "lament for somebody who has died," but as far as I know the giant tortoises aren't yet extinct, though they may well be headed that way as she envisions in this poem. Certainly "on the last day" they will be obsolete and that "event" seems to shape her vision of what will happen.
The imagery she chooses, "plodding," "small heads pondering/ from side to side" and their "useless armour" makes us see the giant tortoises as they head to some unknown destination, which in this case, unfortunately, turns out to be a museum.
For me, there is both great sadness and great irony in the last part of the poem. On first seeing the "square glass altars" you have the feeling that these magnificent animals are going to being honored, as they should be, but you quickly realize that these "altars" are really nothing but museum displays, the kind I discussed seeing in San Francisco's Museum when I was but a small child.
We put them on pedestals, like holy symbols when they're dead, but they are no longer symbols of living animals. They are dead, and thus, "obsolete," a brittle, relic of a past that we used to claim was holy but one we are steadily destroying through our attempts to conquer nature.

This study analyzes the issuing process for securities in light of information asymmetries among and between issuers, underwriters, and investors. It analyzes the issuers' and underwriters' matching of allocation and demand and the resulting consequences for the investors' bidding behavior.
The first chapter uses an original data set of 41 European IPOs brought to the market by a top-tier investment bank. It makes it possible for the first time to consider demand and allocation for institutional and retail investors simultaneously and thereby to analyze all agents at all stages of the bookbuilding process. The chapter provides evidence that uninformed retail investors face a winner's curse. The underwriter has to underprice new issues on average to induce these investors to participate in IPOs. The results also suggest a quid pro quo between the underwriter and informed investors in which the latter receive favorable allocations for guaranteeing the underwriter the placement success in issues with weak demand. It cannot be shown that investors are compensated for revealing their information.
The second chapter examines the results of 93 discriminatory Treasury auctions in Germany between 1998 and 2002. It documents the seller's use of discretion and its influence on auction outcomes and bidding strategies. The evidence suggests that the seller uses its discretion frequently and substantially. It does not maximize revenues in a single-period game, but moves up in the competitive demand curve to set the market clearing price close to the market price. Therefore, bidders do not make profits in German auctions, while their bidding strategies reflect the uncertainty created by the seller's discretion. This chapter extends and tests the implications of the multi-unit auction model by Lengwiler (1999). This predicts that the market-clearing price should be independent of the bidding strategies and exclusively depend on the seller's marginal cost. The results broadly support this prediction.

2010 New Mexico Football
Postgame Notes
UNM vs. Oregon - Sept. 4, 2010
*When the Lobos picked off Darron Thomas on the opening drive it marked a red zone stop. In last year's opener against Texas A&M, the Aggies went 6-for-6 in the red zone. Oregon went 6-for-8 in the red zone on the day.
*The 31 points allowed in the second quarter were the most allowed by the Lobos since giving up 28 in the opening 15 minutes to Texas Christian on October 1, 2005, a 49-28 loss in Fort Worthand the 28 point allowed in the first quarter of today's game.
*Oregon's 61-yard punt return touchdown was the first against the Lobos since UCLA's Craig Bragg went 74 yards for a score in a 27-13 Bruin victory. UNLV was credited with a punt return touchdown on November 8, 2008, but that was after a blocked punt. He later scored on a 64-yard return later in the second quarter.
*The 59 first half points were the most allowed since October 5, 1991 when UNM allowed 66 to Fresno State, a game that was 66-7 at the half and ended up 94-17 in favor of Fresno State.
*The 72 was the most points allowed in an opener. The previous high occured in 1988, a 68-21 loss to Fresno State.
*The last time the Lobos were shutout was on November 3, 2007 when they lost 37-0 to Texas Christian in Fort Worth. The 72-0 loss was also the largest margin of defeat in a shutout in the modern era since a 65-0 loss to Brigham Young in Provo in 1988. If you go back to 1910 when the rules were a bit different, New Mexico Military shutout UNM 80-0. New Mexico's largest shutout win by the way was a 108-0 demolition of Northern Arizona in 1916 in Albuquerque.
*New Mexico registered four passes defended with three breakups and an interception. Sophomore linebacker Spencer Merritt had two breakups to lead the Lobos.
*UNM's offensive line protected well, allowing just one sack on the day, and it was for two yards, as New Mexico attempted 29 passes not counting the one play that went as a sack. Oregon was only credited with two QB hurries as well.
*New Mexico's blocked field goal to start the fourth quarter was the first since they blocked one last season against Air Force on September 19, 2009, a 37-13 Falcon win.
*The Lobos were whistled for just two penalties, marking the fourth time in the Locksley era that New Mexico comitted four penalties or fewer, and that comes over just a 13-game span. In fact, New Mexico has committed two or fewer in two of the last three, as they committed just one against Colorado State in the penultimate game last year.
*Fifteen players made their Lobo debuts: Tarean Austin, Martize Barr, Ravonne Carter, Myles Daughtry, Brian Hill, Ben Skaer, Dallas Bollema, Joe Harris, Ugo Uzodinma, Calvin McDowney, Dillon Farrell, Andrew Aho, Reggie Ellis, Jaram Lyles, and Chance Aven.
Sophomore LB Joe Stoner
*His interception to end the opening drive in the OU red zone was the first of his career. He returned it 28 yards and also added four tackles.
Sophomore WR Ty Kirk
*Set a career-high with eight receptions. His previous best was seven, against New Mexico State last season. He had a career-best 105 yards in that contest as well.
Sophomore QB B.R. Holbrook
*Set career game-highs for completions (11) and attempts (24). His previous bests were eight completions on 15 attempts against Air Force for 73 yards. He had 70 against Oregon.
Freshman P Ben Skaer (pronounced SCARE)
*Averaged 41.0 yards per kick on six punts in his first career game. He banged his first 50-yard punt, a 52-yarder in the third quarter.
Freshman KR-WR Myles Daughtry
*In his first game, he totalled a team-high 147 all-purpose yards on nine touches. He returned seven kickoffs for 134 yards, and had two catches for 13 yards.
Junior DE Jaymar Latchison
*Recorded his first career blocked field goal when he got a hand on a low kick by Eric Solis. Latchison also added eight tackles.
Junior LB Carmen Messina
*Recorded just two tackles on the first two drives before leaving the game with an injury.
Sophomore DB A.J. Butler
*Led the Lobos in tackles with 10, recording four solos and six assisted.

Already a quarter of the way over, very little has been predictable about the 2013 NASCAR season.
There is some familiarity with five-time champion Jimmie Johnson leading the point standings, but it's unprecedented to have two top drivers penalized so harshly this early in the season.
Defending series champion Brad Keselowski is currently sixth in the points. However, he would rank second if not for the 25-point penalty given to his team following a rear-end infraction on his Ford at Texas.
It was only half the penalty handed out to Matt Kenseth following an engine rod being too light on his No. 20 Toyota at Kansas. Hit with a 50-point penalty, Kenseth is now 13th in the points, when he could rank as high as second.
Still, Kenseth leads such notables as Jeff Gordon (14th), Tony Stewart (21st) and Denny Hamlin (29th and still sidelined with a back injury) in the standings.
Stewart's biggest highlights have been a couple of skirmishes. First, there was a dust-up with Joey Logano at California. Then he was engaged in a shouting match with Kurt Busch after Saturday's race at Richmond.
On the track, there's been little for the three-time champion to shout about. Stewart ended up 18th on Saturday, the eighth time in nine races he's finished outside the top 10. For the season, he has a 21.1 average finish. At this same time last season, he already had two wins and was coming off a third-place finish at Richmond.
On the other end of the spectrum, Carl Edwards has bounced back from last season's disappointment of missing the Chase to currently rank second in the points. His No. 99 has been the fastest of the Fords with one win and five top-10 finishes.
The two biggest surprises currently qualified for the Chase are Paul Menard (ninth) and Aric Almirola (11th). Menard, driving the No. 27 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, has four top-10 finishes and only one finish outside the top 20, and that was 21st at Daytona.
Almirola, in the famed No. 43 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports, has three straight top-10 finishes. Like Menard, he has only one finish outside the top 20. That was a 37th-place finish at Bristol, the result of being caught up in an early accident.
Their performances have been impressive since the past two weeks have shown how deep the talent truly is in the Sprint Cup Series.
Juan Pablo Montoya likely would have won for the first time in four seasons if not for a late-race caution. With his struggles in NASCAR, it's easy to forget what an accomplished driver Montoya is with victories in the Indianapolis 500, the Grand Prix of Monaco and the 24 Hours of Daytona.
Scott Speed, another Formula One turned NASCAR driver, showed off his versatility the week of the Kansas race. Speed won the Gold Medal in the Global Rallycross at X Games Brazil, beating such notables as Travis Pastrana, Tanner Foust and former Indianapolis 500 winner Buddy Rice.
Speed, driving a Ford Fiesta, overtook Toomas Heikkinen of Finland on the final lap, calling it "easily the most fun I've ever had."
Rain played havoc with the X-DRL (Xtreme Drag Racing League) Thunder Valley Madness this past weekend at Bristol Dragway.
The competitors were able to get in qualifying on Friday, but elimination rounds were washed out Saturday before an official announcement of the race's cancellation was made Sunday morning.
Frankie Taylor led Pro X-Treme qualifying with his Chevy Corvette blazing down the 1/8-mile in 3.646 seconds (209.07 mph).
Other top qualifiers were: Jim Laurita in Pro Nitrous 3.808 (194.07), Todd Moyer in Pro Turbo 3.913 (201.01) and Cary Goforth in Pro Stock 4.082 (176.67).
Street Fights return to Bristol Dragway on Thursday and the DER Bracket Series is scheduled to return May 10-11.
Allen Johnson remains second in the NHRA Pro Stock point standings following last weekend's Spring Nationals at Houston.
The Greeneville driver had the quickest pass of the event with a 6.566-second elapsed time (211.99 mph) in his first-round win over Roger Brogdon. However, a strong tire shake doomed his Dodge Avenger in a quarterfinal loss to Shane Gray.
"I didn't back it down far enough and the track got hot and we didn't adjust enough to it," Johnson said. "I couldn't get it back in gear after it shook or it would have been a good drag race because it looked like he did the same thing on the other side. But he just got his back in gear and I didn't."
Johnson and the team will try to get back on the winner's stage this weekend at the Southern Nationals in Atlanta.
Racing is scheduled to return to both Kingsport Speedway and Volunteer Speedway this weekend after a couple of weeks off.
Johnson City driver Zeke Shell is certainly ready to get back on track after wins in each of the previous two Kingsport races. Heading into Friday's action, there are four drivers within eight points in the Late Model Stock standings. Chad Finchum of Knoxville leads with 158 points, followed by Shell and Daniel Pope II of Smyrna tied for second at 153 points. Virginia driver Kres VanDyke is fourth at 150 points.
A $3,000-to-win Super Late Model feature for the Southern Regional Racing Series headlines Saturday's action at Volunteer Speedway. The program also includes features for the Pro Late Model, Modified Hobby and Mini Stock divisions.
It will be the first race on the 4/10-mile dirt track since April 6 when Tim Byrd of Jonesborough won the Walter Ball Memorial.

Coaching Testimonial
"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".

The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly adopted a declaration at its 23rd annual session in Baku on Wednesday.
99 delegations voted for the declaration, one voted against it, and nine abstained. The Russian delegation did not vote in protest. The declaration underscores respect for the principles of the inviolability of borders and territorial integrity, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and equal rights and self-determination of peoples, as stated in the Helsinki Final Act, and calls on Russia to reverse the annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol. The declaration calls upon all participating states to refuse to recognize the forced annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly expressed unequivocal support for the sovereignty, political independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine as defined by the country's Constitution and within its internationally recognized borders. The Assembly welcomed the active engagement of the Swiss OSCE Chairmanship in the crisis in and around Ukraine and the deployment of the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine as well as the activities of the OSCE executive structures and other relevant international actors operating in Ukraine with the aim of reducing tensions, fostering stability and promoting national dialogue. The declaration calls for the creation, on the platform of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, of an inter-parliamentary liaison group on Ukraine in order to de-escalate the situation on the ground and support the country out of the crisis and condemns the occupation of the territory of Ukraine.
