CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina achieved the highest high last season by winning its first NCAA women's lacrosse title. The Tar Heels experienced the opposite end of the spectrum on Saturday.
No. 6 Virginia came back from a four-goal second-half deficit to defeat No. 3 UNC 10-9 in an NCAA quarterfinal at Fetzer Field. The result snapped the Tar Heels' 15-game NCAA Tournament home winning streak dating back to 2000 and a nine-game winning streak against the Cavaliers.
"Four years is done too quick," said senior Abbey Friend, who scored more goals (198) than any player in program history. "This isn't the situation that we wanted to end with."
UNC (15-5) had ended Virginia's season four times in the last six years and seemed on its way to doing it again when it led 8-4 with 26:30 remaining.
But the Cavs (12-8) scored six straight goals over the next 22 minutes. During one stretch, Virginia held the ball for 12 straight minutes, winning draw controls and using a methodical offense to keep UNC's high-powered attack from doing any damage.
"Our rules allow you to stall the ball, and last year our rules committee didn't have the courage to change that rule," Tar Heels coach Jenny Levy said. "If we don't have the ball, we can't score. … It's certainly not fun for spectators, but it's part of the game."
Friend finally ended the run by fighting through a double team and scoring with 4:17 left to get UNC within 10-9.
The Tar Heels had three more chances to tie, but Taylor George missed an open net from a sharp angle and Carly Davis's pass in transition with 15 seconds left was intercepted by the Cavs to seal the win.
Virginia will face No. 2 Syracuse and No. 1 Maryland will play No. 5 Northwestern in the semifinals Friday in Towson, Md.
Meanwhile, UNC will miss the final weekend for the second time in six years. The Tar Heels won a program-record 11 games to start the season but had six players suffer season-ending injuries, including all-American midfielder Brittney Coppy and ACC co-freshman of the year Sydney Holman.
"We fought all year and had tons of courage," Levy said. "We're not going to use (injuries) as an excuse … it's certainly not why we lost today. There's nothing to hang our heads on with what we accomplished this year."
Four of the UNC's top seven scorers are freshman – including Carly Reed, who scored three first-half goals – and only three of the 19 Tar Heels used on Saturday are seniors.
"They'll be stepping up and probably breaking my records, which I'm okay with," said Friend, who set a school record with 65 goals during the game.

To the Masters Tournament — It's been another wonderful week at The Augusta National for the annual Masters Tournament. The golf tournament brings visitors from around the world to our area. The weather has been nice and the golf excellent.
To uncertainty with the MOX project — While Washington politicians continue their ongoing budget battles, the future of thousands of workers and millions of dollars is in limbo. It's hard to imagine the government would abandon a project it's spent billions on already. But, it did the same with Yucca Mountain.
To the Aiken Performing Arts Group — The nonprofit group is well-known for donating musical instruments to schools. Last week, the band director at L.B.C Middle School learned his school would be getting 10 instruments for the band and other schools will receive instruments as well.
To naughty politicians who don't know when to stop — Last week former U.S. Rep. Anthony Wiener, who resigned over a sexting scandal in 2011, announced he is considering a run for New York City mayor this year. When you do something so dumb you should give up your hopes of being a leader and role model.
To the gunman who took four firefighters hostage — A gunman who held four firefighters for hours Wednesday in a suburban Atlanta home was shot dead by SWAT members and all the hostages are slightly injured, but should be OK.
To the new "in" color — If you've been watching any of the Masters Tournament this week you've probably noticed that many of the golfers wearing bright green – some even had on almost the same shirt. Could this be the next fashion trend for men? Very nice.

I've been lusting after Lost in Wonderland for ages! Now fingers crossed I can get my hands on a set, or two, sooner rather than later…
Some very pretty pieces. Any idea of the size range and price point these will likely be available in/at?
Thanks for this kind article! – Is there a nicer thing to welcome you back to work after lunch? :)
The panties are XS-XL, bras come in 70 A-D, 75 A-D, 80 A-C, 85 A,B. We're planning to offer a wider size range in some time, but since haste makes waste I decided to keep it slow.
The bras are mostly around 105 -110€, the black lace will be 125€, because of the tradionally woven french lace. Panties will be around 50€.
Thanks for the info, Scarlett:) Here's hoping you make a splash and are able to expand!
Ditto Thursday's questions!
Okay, now THIS is something that I would LOVE to own!! :)
It's TOTALLY my style!

Most Injury-Prone Starters in the NHL
Jonathan Willis
July 24 2009 08:05PM
The Northwest Division is full of healthy goaltenders. Roberto Luongo, Niklas Backstrom and Craig Anderson have all been very durable, while Miikka Kiprusoff is the most durable goalie in the entire NHL.
The sole name from the Northwest that doesn't show up on that list is Nikolai Khabibulin.
What's the big Biron deal?
Jason Gregor
July 24 2009 12:09PM
Between sending videos, speculating about three-ways (which would be better if they included girls), signing some depth guys and debating who is a better goalie this week has been surprisingly busy for the Oilers and their fans.
The toughest division
Jean Lefebvre
July 24 2009 11:03AM
Earlier this week, in the course of discussing a different topic, the conversation drifted to the relative mediocrity of the Northwest Division. It wasn't so long ago that the Northwest was being touted as the best in the National Hockey League, and if that claim was debatable then, it would be preposterous now.

Garth Snow's rather surprising signing of Martin Biron drew a wide variety of opinion yesterday, with the consensus opinion being that Rick DiPietro is still a long way from being ready to play again.
Jonathan Willis
July 22 2009 04:14PM
I've had a horrible feeling of déjà vu this summer while watching the Oilers chase after Dany Heatley. I've been banging the drum for a veteran third-line centre for a while, most notably here. But I seemed to remember making a similar post last year…

Palm Beach Gardens Hurricane Windows
People living Palm Beach Gardens enjoy an active lifestyle with average temperatures of 74 degrees and tropical atmosphere. Located in the northern part of Palm Beach County, Palm Beach Gardens has a population of 48,500, 85% of those are native born. The city itself is sprinkled with original art works by locals and more adding to the active pulse of this tropical city.
Hurricanes are a problem in South Florida if you're not prepared. Many people living in Palm Beach Gardens have had a close brush up with large hurricanes including; Andrew and Wilma. After witnessing a Category 4 or 5 hurricane first hand you have a new appreciation for natural disasters.
Many building codes have been changed or implemented since hurricane Andrew which caused the most natural disaster damage to the state of Florida in 1992. Hurricane protection technology has also seen improvements. Hurricane windows can now be made to withstand a category five hurricane and be energy efficient at the same time.
The windows that Storm Tight Windows manufacturers for the Palm Beach Garden area are mostly triple pane glass which has been specially treated and coated for added protection. Gasses are used between the panes of glass for added insulation from the sun's rays and heat. And if made from a stronger than average treated vinyl you have a window which can withstand the many challenges of the South Florida weather.
Hurricane windows also add security to your home. Harder to break than most single pane windows, hurricane windows with added steel bars within the frame and slash make impact hurricane windows extremely difficult to break into.
Putting Dade County approved hurricane windows in your Palm Beach Garden home can save you money not only in electrical and energy costs but on your homeowners insurance. If your home has been equipped with hurricane doors and windows that are Dade County approved you can save up to 25% on your insurance rate. Find a good wind mitigator like the ones that Storm Tight Windows uses to take advantage of this big insurance savings.

Haiti, Port-au-Prince Mission Trip
Most of our trips are carefully coordinated and conducted by an experienced tour leader and, where necessary, a translator. You will see firsthand the heartbreaking conditions in which many of God's children live, and then visit the various programs supported by Food For The Poor; from schools, orphanages, clinics and hospices to the hungry being fed at our feeding programs.
Meet the dedicated missionaries, see the deep faith of people who rely upon the Lord's mercy, and your heart will be touched when you hug an orphan child or share a poor family's excitement at having a real home for the very first time.
You'll see how our generous donors in the U.S. make a real difference in the lives of the poor and why our work is so important to the missionaries who depend on us. Many donors find a deeper understanding of God's grace as they come face-to-face with poverty in developing countries.

Last chance to sign up for Teen Christmas
On Thursday, Sevier County families have a final opportunity to sign up for Teen Christmas. The program distributes clothing and hygiene items to teens age 13-17. Registration is at the King Family Library, 408 High St. in Sevierville, 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Participants should bring proof that they live in Sevier County; Social Security cards for all teens; proof of low income, such as documentation for food stamps or TennCare; and proof of attendance in Sevier County middle or high schools.
In December, registered teens will receive jeans, a shirt, a hoodie or fleece, socks, pajamas, a scarf and gloves. Hygiene items include soap, shampoo, body wash, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm and comb or brush.
"People don't understand, we've got the working poor in Sevier County," said Kim Loveday, director of the Sevier County Family Resource Center, which administers the program. "If you're low-income, it's hard to pay the bills. Sometimes hygiene is not a priority. Kids may not go to school because they don't have adequate clothing."
Individual hygiene items seem inexpensive, Loveday said. "But then you add them up."
Loveday started Teen Christmas in 1996, when she noticed programs like Toys for Tots serve only younger children. "That didn't seem right," she said. The first year the program served 36 teens. Now it serves as many as 300.
The Sevier County Family Resource Center is part of the Sevier County School System.
Teen Christmas is paid for entirely with donations. People who want to help can sponsor individual teens. A sponsor receives a teen's age, shirt size, pants size and favorite color, then spends $65-75 on items that are new, not used.
In December, parents will receive receipts with information about where to pick up the items, which they can gift wrap individually.
To sponsor or donate, contact Loveday at 428-7999 or email@example.com.

INTERVIEW: Hollywood star Mischa Barton and Anne Charleston, Madge from 'Neighbours', talk to BERNICE HARRISON about starring in a new Irish production of 'Steel Magnolias'
I'M SO RECOGNISABLE," says Mischa Barton in a straightforward, this-is-how-it-is, way and she's right, she is. For four years she starred in The OC, the US-made nougties mega hit TV series that became a global teen phenomenon. There's also something instantly familiar about people who have appeared in long-running TV series, even if you can't recall ever seeing a single episode. It's all the extra stuff – the interviews, the photo-shoots, the product endorsements and the paparazzi shots – the everywhereness of celebrity culture.
The OC ended in 2007 and she's worked steadily in film since and although she hasn't done any work that matches that early mega success, Barton has maintained a high profile. Not that the elderly men playing bowls on Tuesday evening in Leinster Cricket Grounds in Rathmines seem bothered and there's no paparazzi lurking in the bushes waiting to snap the 26-year-old as we sit in the evening sunshine outside their clubhouse. The bowls club is where director Ben Barnes is rehearsing a new Irish production of Steel Magnolias. Mischa Barton is the star, and – the producers, Solar Theatre, hope – the big name that'll draw the crowds when the production opens in Dublin in September and then tours around the country.
"It's nice to have a break from it [the paparazzi]. It's largely the reason to do a play here. There's less of the fuss and ridiculousness here." She's been a regular visitor to Ireland since she was a small child – her mother, Nuala Quinn from Roscommon, brought the family home to the farm on summer holidays and she recently took a road trip around Kerry and Cork. Tuesday was the second day of what will be a three-week rehearsal period and she's very much in work mode: black skinny jeans, oversized black combat jacket, battered looking pumps, make-up free, tousled hair – the only concession to fashion is her eye-catching gold trimmed black handbag. It's from her own range, for sale in the Mischa Barton Boutique, the London shop she opened two weeks ago to stock her bags and her new clothing and cosmetic range.

Driving a projector with lap-top external video output
My apologies in advance for asking a question that I'm sure must have been asked many times before. I've spent hours Googl'ng, recently and on other occasions over the past few years, and haven't found quite what I'm looking for. I assume answers are out there, if I only I could find the right query... So my initial, general question is:
Can anyone point me to a reasonably up-to-date how-to, manual, man page, or similar that describes methods for driving a projector from the external video output of a Linux lap-top with a built-in nVidia graphics adapter? Generic (not nVidia-specific) info would be great too.
My use case is a bit different from those discussed in most of the things I've read, but I don't think it's unique. In fact it seems to be somewhat close to a home theatre kind of setup, perhaps on a larger scale. Here are the highlights...
Here's an example of equipment I'm currently using, although I've tried this before with other lap-tops and Linux releases, all without finding a good solution:

Several area middle school students will be part of a delegation from Virginia participating in a People to People Leadership trip to Australia this summer.
Virginia's General Assembly convenes today in its biennial "short session" in which it tweaks the two-year budget adopted the previous year.
Bedford's Alzheimer's support group has folded. The group held its last meeting in November, according to Cindy BonDurant. BonDurant is regional director for the Central and Western Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.
BonDurant said that the Bedford group, which held meetings on the third Monday of each month at 3 p.m., had zero attendance month after month for the last two years. That mystifies her.
A local band that began in 1977 as the Love of God Singers has been reborn as L.O.G.O.S.
According to Dan Snyder, of Forest, this name was chosen because band members wanted a name with initials that would spell something. L.O.G.O.S spells the Greek word that is translated "Word" in the first chapter of the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
From Hampton Roads to L.A., St. Paul to San Angelo, communities across this nation are making their lists.
And they're checking those lists twice, hoping that President-elect Barack Obama will shower them with Christmas in February gifts from his $775 billion (and growing) stimulus package that is supposed to cure the financial aches and pains being felt in pocketbooks of hard-working Americans. We can't trust government to provide the answer to this.
I pontificated on the meaning of "change" in this space back on Oct. 1. I noted that the word "change" is meaningless as it could be a change for the better, or for the worse.
In the last year or so there have been some very visible bumper stickers that say "1/20/09: Bush's Last Day." Those of us who have long awaited the departure of this particular president now have only days to go.
When the question about a president's "legacy" is centered around whether or not he's the worst president ever, well, enough said. Even Bush's most ardent supporters have only one line to run with: History hasn't yet rendered its judgment.
Social Security has a new online retirement application and a new celebrity spokesperson to help spread the word.
You can apply for retirement benefits from the comfort of your home or office at www.socialsecurity.gov. There's no need to drive to your local Social Security office or wait for an appointment with a Social Security representative. You can complete the new online retirement application in as little as 15 minutes. It's so easy
The single greatest challenge facing our country in the new year and the years ahead is asserting the kind of affirmative and creative leadership necessary to regain the confidence of the American people in our system of governance, our nation's leaders and our standing in the world.
Just a few weeks ago, we marked the sixtieth anniversary of the United Nations' adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This document, a direct result of the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany during World War II, was intended to clarify the international consensus on the most fundamental of human rights. Despite growing international support for the core ideals such as the right to life, liberty and security of person contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, you just have to turn on your nightly news to see blatant violations of these princ

A practical guide for journalists
The NUJ promotes responsible reporting of mental health and suicide by the media.
A practical guide on sensitive reporting of issues, maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards, has been produced by the NUJ's Scottish office, for use by the media, with the support of the media.
The guide includes a first person account by a journalist of his experiences of mental illness, making it clear it is certainly NOT something to be ashamed of.
It addresses responsible reporting of mental health and suicide and highlights basic issues often overlooked, such as basic use of terminology. and provides guidance on what not to do, such as detailing methods of suicide, and providing inappropriate website addresses.
The guide also provides information about support for people suffering from mental health issues, and encourages the media to publish details of helplines at the end of articles on that subject.
The NUJ actively promotes the need for responsible reporting to journalists and aspiring journalists at newsrooms, universities and colleges throughout Scotland.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's about time,
Robert S (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Family Ties: Season 1 (DVD)
Fans have been waiting for this show on dvd for some time! The first season of Family Ties was by no means the show's finest, but it did lay the framework for the characters and their lives which continued to grow and blossom over the course of the series.
The quality of the picture and sound is decent, though not extraordinary. There are no special features, nor is there any booklet or other episode guide accompanying the discs except for a short list of episodes on the inside flap of the dvd case.
The first disc has an incredibly irritating, loud advertisement for other Paramount/CBS television shows on DVD that plays automatically each time--pushing the menu button to bypass it does not work, but skipping the chapter does. Paramount/CBS would be advised it's better practice to put these adverts as a special feature--fans *will* check them out, but if you're buying the set you shouldn't have to sit through it each and every time you put the disc on.
The dvd case itself is compact and sturdy and the discs have a nice silvery finish on them which really suits the show.
5.0 out of 5 stars Family Ties Season 1 Review,
Rachel Roberts (High Prairie, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Family Ties: Season 1 (DVD)
All I can say is that this family favourite is and always will be number one for me. Michael J. Fox is "Phenomenal" and always has been in everything he does. There is no comparing. An excellent buy and I can't wait to buy Season 2. There will never be another show like this. It is one in a million.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate 80"s Family Show,
D.Jay "Dr. J" (Toronto, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Ties: Season 1 (DVD)
The all-time favourite family series finally see the light of day on DVD.
The show that practically defined the reality of growing up in a loving, caring family that took the viewer through life's ups and downs - the way all of us would have wanted our own families to be!
The series had made Michael J. Fox a household name, and started careers of such modern-day luminaries as Tom Hanks, Courteney Cox, Tracy Pollan (who had later gotten married to M.Fox) and Justine Bateman, among others.

This Braised Pork Roast is tender and delicious. Braising has always been one of my favorite ways to cook. The secret to this technique is to always make sure you brown the meat first. This seals in all the juices and adds great flavor to the sauce while cooking.
Famous dishes like osso bucco or chicken cacciatore are both slow cooked to bring out the intense flavor of the meats. Let's not forget braised lamb, one of Italy's most famous traditional dishes.
Braised Pork Roast can be made a variety of different ways but I love braising in wine. Wine is often used in many of my favorite Italian recipes.

This is why I'm quitting my job.
Every month or so, my job has a potluck for one thing or another (birthdays, retirements, etc.) I thought it would be fun to have an Iron Chef Potluck in which people would bring dishes showcasing the "secret ingredient." I chose ginger, thinking it was interesting and different.
I spent half the night making a tart with vanilla bean mascarpone filling and fresh peaches in a homemade gingersnap crust.
Guess who was the only one to bring something?
Out of more than 100 people, I brought the only dish.
Anyone else having a crappy day?

Harken Sailing Traveler Cars
Harken, Inc. is a leading manufacturer and marketer of quality marine and sailboat hardware and accessories. Buy Harken hardware such as blocks, winches, travelers, mainsail & headsail systems, and a full range of hydraulic products and services for your boat.
Harken Ball Bearing Travelers
Harken Travelers
Details Make the Difference- Strong, Light Car Body, one-piece solid 6061-T6 aluminum construction for strength and durability. CNC sculpted to remove excess weight.
Captive Bearings - Wire guides keep balls captive, making cars easy to load and maintain. Guides circulate free-rolling Torlon® bearings smoothly under both high and low loads.
Long-Lasting Protective Finish - Car body and bearing races are deep-saturation Hard Lube-anodized and PTFE-impregnated for durability. UV-stabilized with black additive for maximum protection.
Harken Travelers Features
2. ESP Systems - 27 mm Midrange and 32 mm Big Boat cars feature built-in, axle-bearing control blocks. Cars with car-mounted controls are value-oriented options for the installation of 2:1 to 5:1 systems. Pair with axle bearing ESP end controls for durability and strength.
Harken Travelers Micro
Harken 13 mm Micro CB Travelers are trailored for end-boom and mid-boom configurations and used with high-beam track when raising the traveler out of the cockpit.
Car Controls- 16 mm control blocks spin on stainless steel balls that roll freely under high loads. The step-down design keeps the controls low and clear of the mainsheet block.
Harken Travelers Micro
The Harken CRX Roller Traveler carries almost double the load at half the weight of similarly sized traveler cars. Torlon® rollers provide increased bearing contact over balls to handle higher loads. Captive bearings make cars easy to load and maintain.
The award-winning Harken PCRX Mainsheet Traveler features a hinged track that pivots as the mainsheet angle changes. This design aligns the car to the load for less friction, more load capacity, and lighter weight. Eliminating the toggle reduces the car's height and weight. Mini-Maxi PCRX traveler systems are used on America's Cup and Volvo racers, with Big Boat versions on TP52s and IRC 70s.

The book only touches briefly on their home school. Parents teach their kids at home for many reasons. Who could blame the parents for wanting to teach their child at home. Public schools and even private schools are not what they use to be. Student test scores are much lower not to mention violence, bullies, and other turmoil. And could you imagine getting al those kids ready for school? I think the main reason the Duggars choose to home school is causing the debate. The Duggar reasons go far beyond just for a better learning environment. It is one thing if a parent wishes to provide a better learning place for their child and be their primary influence. It another thing to shield them from different view points.
A big argument against any home school is socialization. What disturbed me is how Michelle says other families told her kids sent to school focus too much attention on friends and their interest. That is just part of growing up. On the contrary, sitting in a room full of kids your own age isn't really socializing. There are ways around the socialization problem. Some home school groups have their own extracurricular activities. The Duggars stay in their own little circle of ATI associates which is the big difference in them and average home school families.
Another thing debated is the curriculum. Much of their studies concentrate on the ATI Wisdom booklets. . From the ATI website:
In the scope of the ATI curriculum, the Bible is the main textbook, the Wisdom Booklets are the core curriculum, and supplemental materials and programs are continually developed to assist parents as they teach (and learn!) in the classroom of life.
Over the last few years, the Duggars have added other curriculum like Abeka and SOS (Switched on Schoolhouse) . I wonder if it is due to critic responses. The Wisdom booklets get many negative reviews.
I'm not implying the Duggar kids aren't bright but wonder what they learn. It made me feel a little better learning that tutors are brought in like Jim Bob's old teacher to help with science experiments. On the 'School Daze' episode, one of the boys argued with Michelle about workbooks. I thought surely workbooks isn't all the kids do. Overall, I feel the Duggars are giving home school bad name without meaning to. I read in Arkansas you don't need to make a certain grade on a test and the laws don't seem to strict. There are plenty who do it right. The requirements just need to be stricter.

I need to know what workbooks to use for preschool and older kids.ReplyDelete
I seen the workbooks that one duggar looking at and wasn't his books and i want to get a hold of all home school books i can so i can home school kids when i adopt kids and have my own kids and home school my niece that 3 1/2 almost. Kylie will be 4 on August 9,2012.
My state is Indiana and you are allowed to home school your children with books you pick, and just have to have attendance and not much they ask for. So you have to get your own books. I will home school kids with and without disabilities like learning and etc....ReplyDelete
They also use SOS material that is Christian curriculum. If you want a secular one, Oakmeadow and Laurel Springs School are tow popular choices.I think the Duggars' workbooks looked as they had been bought from Walmart.ReplyDelete

Box Butte County FSA Office
124 E 24th Street
Alliance, NE 69301
308 762-4322
Alliance, NE May 22, 2013 – Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Director, Michael Treffer announced today that the Box Butte County FSA Office will hold a Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) General Signup from May 20 through June 14, 2013. "Producers and landowners are urged to take action now in considering the environmental and financial benefits of CRP as the signup period is only 4 weeks and it is anticipated that this may be the only opportunity to enroll in General CRP for several years," said Treffer.
"CRP is an important program in Box Butte County for protecting environmentally sensitive land from erosion and sedimentation, improving air quality and ensuring the sustainability of our groundwater, lakes and rivers. CRP helps protect Box Butte County's natural resources, preserve wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation related to hunting and fishing," said Treffer. "Box Butte County participants currently have over 17,500 acres enrolled in CRP and earn nearly $750,000.00 in annual rental payments per year," he said.
To be eligible, a producer must have owned or operated the offered acreage for at least 12 months prior to the end of the sign-up period (with some exceptions). The land must be cropland planted to an agricultural commodity four of the six crop years from 2002 to 2007 and be physically and legally capable of being planted. Offers for new acreage and acreage already in CRP, but expiring on September 30, 2013, will be considered. Offers will be ranked according to the Environmental Benefits Index (EBI). A cutoff score will determine offers accepted. FSA provides 50 percent cost-share assistance to establish the conservation cover and an annual rental payment based on the productivity of the soils and the average dryland cash rent value. Rental rates were recently updated in Nebraska and increased substantially in many counties.
Treffer encourages producers and landowners to also look into CRP's other enrollment opportunities, including Continuous CRP, State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement Initiative, the Highly Erodible Land Initiative, and the Pollinator Habitat Initiative. These programs are open on a continuous, non-competitive basis and provide even further financial opportunities and incentives.
For more information on CRP and other FSA programs, visit your local FSA Service Center or www.fsa.usda.gov.

CLEMSON — The atmosphere for Clemson football's season opener on Aug. 31 was already expected to be electric as both Clemson and Georgia will likely be ranked in the top 10 of preseason polls. And that atmosphere will only be enhanced by an 8 p.m. kickoff time (WCIV-TV/ABC), which was announced Tuesday.
South Carolina will host North Carolina at 6 p.m. on Aug. 29 (ESPN) to begin its season, a kickoff time that was also announced Tuesday.
Clemson and Georgia haven't met since 2003 despite being separated by less than 100 miles. The two programs played some legendary games in the early 1980s. Clemson defeated Georgia and star running back Herschel Walker in 1981 en route to a national championship.
North Carolina and South Carolina have not met since 2007.
North Carolina holds a 34-17-4 lead in the all-time series, but South Carolina has won four of the last five contests.
South Carolina has played 10 Thursday night ESPN contests since 2005. The Gamecocks are 8-2 in Thursday night games under Steve Spurrier, including a 5-1 record at home.

A few months ago, I pulled out our frozen pepperoni and it had turned green while in the freezer! Yuck! I did not want to even try using the rest of that pepperoni so we tossed it out.
Last fall my mom shared with me that some of the people in her online preparedness group can fresh pepperoni and/or fresh salami at home to make it shelf stable. She had tried it and both she and my dad liked the result.
Of course I felt so overwhelmed with a new baby and my toddler that I didn't think much of it until after my pepperoni turned green in the freezer - something I never even considered would or could happen to me! It was then I decided I should try canning it so that if the power ever went out for an extended period of time, my meat wouldn't be among the first foods to go bad in my freezer!
I had some regular mouth tall pint bottles and also some regular wide-mouth pint bottles that I thought I would use - and I really like the fancy tall regular-mouth bottles since the pepperoni looks so pretty in it.
At my mext Costco trip I bought the pepperoni and brought it home, all 3 pounds of it! I then set to work sanitizing my bottles and lids and then filled them full with the pepperoni and placed the lids on each bottle (after softening the rubber in hot water first), screwed on the bands and placed them in my 23-quart Presto Pressure Canner. It is important to make sure your pressure canner gauge and rocker are working well and that everything is clear and functioning properly per the manufacturer's directions.
I poured in water up to the line and locked on the lid and made sure the canner was level on the stove burner and then turned the burner on high (setting 10).
The thing about canning meat is that the time is the same no matter where you live, the only difference is the pressure you need to can the meat at. Since I live at 4800 feet above sea level and I have a dial gauge pressure canner, I needed the dial to reach 13 pounds before I started my time - which is universally 1 hour 15 minutes for pints (what I canned my pepperoni in) or 1 hour 30 minutes for quarts (per Joy of Cooking, 2006 edition, page 902).
Pressure canning does require vigilance and 'babysitting' but I believe the results far outweigh the time investment. Canning fresh meat at home surpasses commercially canned meats - and I didn't believe that until this last year when I first started canning meats at home.
For a first-time meat canner, fresh pepperoni is definitely the easiest meat to can as it does not require any pre-cooking. Just make sure your hands and bottles are clean and begin filling the bottles with the pepperoni until you can't fit anymore slices in it (I thought I had filled mine, but as you can see the pepperoni compresses down during the canning process). I was able to get about 1/2 pound into each bottle. That means I only filled about 6 pint bottles with pepperoni and you need to can at least 7 quarts or 14 pint bottles at a time in order to make sure the heat in the canner is uniform throughout the canning process. I ended up canning ground beef in the other 8 bottles - which I'll talk about another time - but this was a good 2nd meat to can to make sure I had 14 pint bottles since it didn't require any pre-cooking like other meats do.
The other benefit to canning your pepperoni is that all of the grease squeezes out of the pepperoni during the processing so that when you open the bottle to use the pepperoni and you get down to the pepperoni below the solidified grease line, you can easily scrape off or wipe the grease off of the pepperoni - that makes your home made pepperoni pizza much less fatty for you!
Surprisingly, the pepperoni doesn't feel or taste like it's been 'cooked' during the canning process. The texture feels very much like it did before it became 'canned pepperoni'.

In an op-ed published in the Investor's Business Daily, longtime Republican and conservative activist Craig Shirley adds his thoughts to the ongoing debate about the future of conservatism. Shirley makes one claim that is worth highlighting because it reveals a confusion about conservatism that others might share.
According to Shirley:
The foreign policy right will have a more difficult task coming to terms with what it stands for in a post-Bush world. Traditionally, the internal affairs of a sovereign nation were not of concern to conservatives unless that nation threatened America. They believed only in projecting American power to protect American interests.
Driven by the "neocons" who are neither "new" nor "conservative," this has gone off the tracks badly in the past eight years. Traditional Reaganites are already clashing with the neocons who inspired the "Bush Doctrine," but I suspect that eventually this too will be reigned in and the neocons brought to heel. Making the world safe for democracy has never been the business of conservatives.
Shirley is using lazy caricatures and making sloppy arguments. Let's try to untangle some of them.
Perhaps the place to start is by pointing out that the projection of American power during the Bush years was to protect American interests. There were two "projections of American power" during the Bush years. The first involved a military response to the attacks on September 11, 2001. Presumably Mr. Shirley supported the war against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, but perhaps not.
The second instance was the Iraq war. Of course, the reason the majority of the country, the Congress, and conservatives alike supported the Iraq war was because the United States believed, along with the rest of the world, that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Beyond that, Saddam was the most ruthless and aggressive dictator in a region that that (a) has its share of awful ones and (b) is of enormous interest to the United States. His invasion of Kuwait in the early 1990s was the triggering event for the first Gulf War. The implication that Iraq and what happens in the Middle East has nothing to do with American interests is silly.
As for the notion that "the internal affairs of a sovereign nation were not of concern to conservatives unless that nation threatened America:" Shirley is (again) wrong. Is it his view that conservatives should be utterly indifferent to genocide unless it occurs in a nation that threatens America?
The internal affairs of sovereign nations is our business if that nation is engaging in persecution, oppression, and mass death. That doesn't mean that we ought to use military force in such instances; there are limits to our capacity to restrain evil in the world. But there are a range of options short of military force that can be used. And even where our instruments of action are limited, the notion that genocide is "not of concern" to conservatives is wrong-headed and startlingly callous.
Beyond that Shirley – who invokes Ronald Reagan's name worshipfully – argues that conservatism has gone "off the tracks" because of a belief in promoting liberty to foreign lands. Well, now. Shirley might be interested in the words and philosophy articulated by Reagan in an important June 8, 1982 Westminster Address. In that speech, Reagan said this:
While we must be cautious about forcing the pace of change, we must not hesitate to declare our ultimate objectives and to take concrete actions to move toward them. We must be staunch in our conviction that freedom is not the sole prerogative of a lucky few, but the inalienable and universal right of all human beings…. Democracy already flourishes in countries with very different cultures and historical experiences. It would be cultural condescension, or worse, to say that any people prefer dictatorship to democracy….
What I am describing now is a plan and a hope for the long term — the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people…. [T]he task I've set forth will long outlive our own generation. But together, we too have come through the worst. Let us now begin a major effort to secure the best — a crusade for freedom that will engage the faith and fortitude of the next generation. For the sake of peace and justice, let us move toward a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.
Craig Shirley appears to be part of that strand of conservatism that finds the work of advancing democracy to be an unworthy aim of American foreign policy and genocide to be a matter of moral indifference. That view is wrong and, if taken seriously, morally offensive. Fortunately it has nothing to do with authentic conservatism. And that is something Ronald Reagan, thankfully, knew.

88 yr old senior olympic swimmer won bronze medal
great fit, great style. my father wore this suit in the senior olympics in houston in June 2011 and at age 88 won a bronze medal!

He loves this jammer ... but...
The fabric on this suit is outstanding. The length is great if you are a longer and leaner build. If it fits, you get the feel of a compression suit - almost!! The bummer is, the adult 28 - really is a generous 28. And the adult does not come in 26! The YOUTH is 3 inches shorter - and the sizing is odd ... the Y14 is LARGER and SHORTER than the adult 28! We are saving the adult 28 for next year - when you are 12 years old - growth should happen quickly!

MacBreak Weekly 335: The Jango Fandango
Rene: I was fascinated by the comment about Bluetooth on Apple TV --- that Apple TV may become a regular, iOS based PC type computer in the future. (And not to sound conspiratorial, but it almost seemed that you and Alex had some inside info about this ;-) )
Please do a show (or more) about the potential of an Apple TV as a (relatively) low-powered computer. I can understand the keyboard part of it. But what will be the pointing device? Will it have a cursor? (I guess not). Perhaps it'll have a faded circle that can be moved around with the Apple TV's remote? And the faded circle acts as a representation of the fingertip... How might they implement multi-touch on the Apple TV?
The questions are many....

Re: Speaking of the Bass Guitar...
I've played bass for a few years now. I play a Yamaha BB414 - which is a fairly low-mid level bass, but is well featured. The trick is not to fall into the 'light strings' trap like I did. I thought having lighter strings would make it easier to play - it doesn't and in fact having more resistance against your picking fingers gives you a more confident and defined tone.
As for a starting instrument? There's a lot to be had out there. My Yamaha is what I would actually recommend as a basic workhorse and as is the same with drums, Yamaha make great instruments at all price points. I was recently surprised by a rather good low-end Dean that a friend bought. Just look for good build quality and the rest will be secondary.

Camp Shakespeare featured in The Alcalde
Posted: July 1, 2012
Excerpt from The Alcalde article published on July 5, 2012:
"Fog still shrouds the farmlands of Fayette County when the young players of Camp Shakespeare roll off their cots and begin their day.
There is not much time for sleepy-eyed stumbling; the sun is just now warming the rolling countryside surrounding the Briarfield B&B near Warrenton, and that means it's time for pre-breakfast line work. The words of Shakespeare, spoken by young people who hail from Austin and Gonzales and New York City, mingle with birdsong and the sound of the occasional pickup truck heading down nearby Texas 237.
"This castle hath a pleasant seat…"
"O horror, horror, horror…."
"Knock, knock – who's there, i' th' name of Beelzebub?"
Inside the bed and breakfast's main meeting room, a white-haired professor emeritus who began teaching at UT in 1964 sits and squints through his eyeglasses at a line of text in a bound copy of Macbeth..."

The Amarillo Bulls defeated the Corpus Christi IceRays 5-3 last night, clinching the best of five game series over the IceRays 3 games to 1. This will be the Bulls' third consecutive appearance in the South Division Finals, their next opponent will be either the Topeka RoadRunners or last years Robertson Cup Champions the Texas Tornado. The Tornado currently have 2-0 game lead in their series with the RoadRunners.
The Amarillo Bulls have been a solid team all year, led by forwards Mike Davis and TJ Sarcona, both in the top twenty of the NAHL point leaders. Another strong point for the Bulls is their defensemen, leading the way is team captain John Rey who is third in the NAHL in points, other notables Geoff Fortman and TJ Sherman, all of these guys have been the pillars of defense and have been huge offensively for the Bulls. Last but not least, the absolute stellar netminding of Paul Berrafato, this Buffalo, NY native leads the NAHL in GAA (1.66), and boasts an impressive 33-3-5 record with two shutouts under his belt.
Often overlooked in any sport, the coaches for the Amarillo Bulls have been excellent, head coach Dennis Williams, with assistant coaches Rocky Russo and Harry Mahood have taught this young group of hockey players the keys to success on and off the ice. Not to mention the tireless efforts of training staff, day in day out securing the safety of these athletes.
In case you are not familiar with the North American Hockey League (NAHL), below is a video presentation of what they are about.

A very nice abstracted landscape ? Fred any way I think so the sky is gorgious
Jim C&C welcomed
Jim, Jen, Geri, and Marsha - Thank you for your kind words on my lotus ptg..
Marsha, you are so fortunate to have a couple ponds to paint right in your back yard! Have you done many ptgs. based on this?
Kim T (Kim513)
C&C welcome!
Hi Marsha, I apologize for the delay in getting this posted. Some people will recognize it, as it was posted earlier in this forum's history. This is one of my oil pastels, and shows a couple of types of applications. The parts that look like watercolors are done with oil pastels combined with Turpenoid - I think it is what Sam called NMS.- I can't find her post at the moment. The parts of this where you can see the thin strokes of OP on the grainy surface of the paper (her hair, for example, or the highlights on the valentine) are undiluted OPs applied to the paper. The original painting was about 5" x 5" on Wallis OP paper (i gave it to a friend, so have only the digiital version). Looking at it today I can see that I was working on trying to put more contrasting values in paintings. Having said all this, my list of projects includes doing an OP painting using my fingers and the tool that Sam described to blend the colors and using more thorough coverage as she does. I want to have as much versatility as possible.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Alex the pinks in this are so rich looking. Very beautiful!
Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
Alex - This is so sweet. Good use of repeating colors too to harmonize.
Alex, I still like this lovely valentine. Catherine noted how rich the pinks are. That's one of the beauties of oil pastels. They are very vibrant and rich in color. I refer to Turpenoid as solvent. Odorless Mineral Spirits (OMS) is also a solvent. I rarely use either one and when I do I call it solvent.
Marsha, you can buy single clay shapers in dark gray at Dick Blick. Just do a search for double-sided clap shapers or even just clay shapers. The prices for each range from $9.44 to 15.56. I tried to copy and paste the picture of them and the price list but Artist Daily didn't accept the copy. If you can't find them, I can photograph mine and send you the stock numbers.
And, yes, I am jealous that you have pond lilies and koi in your backyard. Both are great subjects for paintings.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Jen C & C's always welcome
A beautiful painting Alex,love it
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center
Southern Appalachian Artists Guild
Alex I remember you posting this before I'm glad you posted it again the techniche is worth reading for me, the painting is excellent too

Alumnus is Inspired to Teach
Only a few days away from receiving his master's degree in bilingual secondary education, Jonathan Gómez '04 can only think of one thing – returning to the classroom, but this time as a teacher.
The soon-to-be double alumnus is a first generation graduate student and an LMU admission counselor. "The first time I applied to LMU, I wanted to stay close to home," explained Gómez. "After a visit, I felt I fit in most at LMU. Its diversity, access to resources and top professors influenced my decision."
As an undergraduate, Gómez majored in Spanish and began contemplating a career in education. "Professors like Katharine W. Clemmer, 'Sonny' Richard Espinoza, Magaly Lavadenz, Antonia Petro and Brian Treanor motivated me to become an educator who views the world through a critical lens and works for social change," said Gómez.
To enrich his college experience, Gómez got involved in extracurricular activities such as the Latino Business Student Association, the Mexican American Alumni Association and Beta Gamma Nu. He made many lasting friendships and admits that his all-time favorite LMU moment was meeting his college sweetheart during Latino Overnight, a program that brings newly admitted students to campus for a weekend visit before their first semester.
During his senior year, Gómez' work study job in Student Employment Services was turned into a permanent full-time position. After that, he took on a role as a LMU admission counselor.
The best part about being a counselor, said Gómez, is that he gets to meet new and interesting students. "Whether it is in person, through e-mail, via instant message or from a comment on the blog, there are always new people to meet," he reported in a blog that he created to reach out to prospective students. The admission process, financial aid, required courses and opportunities to grow as leaders are some of the topics he writes about.
Gómez frequently volunteers in predominantly Latino high schools with low graduation rates. According to Gómez, the issue further inspired him to give back to those underserved populations: after completing his master's degree, his next step will be to teach math or Spanish to high school students in Los Angeles.
"I want to see as many students as possible get an education and become successful," he said.

Ginseng root prevents learning disability and neuronal loss in gerbils with 5-minute forebrain ischemia

The present study was designed to investigate the possible neuroprotective activity of ginseng roots in 5-min ischemic gerbils using a step-down passive avoidance task and subsequent neuron and synapse counts in the hippocampal CA1 region. The following drugs were administered for 7 days before the induced ischemia: red ginseng powder (RGP), crude ginseng saponin (CGS), crude ginseng non-saponin (CGNS), and pure ginsenosides Rb1, Rg1 and Ro. Oral administration of RGP significantly prevented the ischemia-induced decrease in response latency, as determined by the passive avoidance test, and rescued a significant number of ischemic hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in a dose-dependent manner. Intraperitoneal injections of CGS exhibited a similar neuroprotective effect. CGNS had a significant but less potent protective effect against impaired passive avoidance task and degeneration of hippocampal CA1 neurons. Ginsenoside Rb1 significantly prolonged the response latency of ischemic gerbils and rescued a significant number of ischemic CA1 pyramidal neurons, whereas ginisenosides Rg1 and Ro were ineffective. Postischemic treatment with RGP, CGS or ginsenoside Rb1 was ineffective. The neuroprotective activities of RGP, CGS and ginsenoside Rb1 were confirmed by electron microscopy counts of synapses in individual strata of the CA1 field of ischemic gerbils pretreated with the drugs. These findings suggest that RGP and CGS are effective in the prevention of delayed neuronal death, and that ginsenoside Rb1 is one of the neuroprotective molecules within ginseng root.
