HERMOSA BEACH, Calif. (CNN) — Two dogs in California, one of which is blind, share an inseparable bond.
Animal welfare workers said Isaac and Isabella were found wandering the streets of San Bernardino County on Monday.
Isaac is a blind Husky and Isabella, his small Terrier mix friend, serves as his seeing eye dog.
"It's just really remarkable how she's always trying to be aware of where Isaac's at and you know if he's not right behind her, she'll stop and wait for him to catch up with her," Hermosa Animal Hospital's Lindsey Riggins said.
Dan Guss, with STAND Foundation, an animal rescue group, said Isabella always keeps an eye on Isaac.
"There's a work relationship between these two and there's a love relationship between these two and how they know what the other needs or what the other is saying is amazing," Guss said. "It's like and old couple that's been married for 60 years and they just know what's going on with the other person."
STAND is now looking to place the pair into a good home.

By John Lundvall, Iowa Learning Farms
Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) are hosting a tour of a Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) wetland near Nashua in southeast Floyd County on Wednesday, Aug. 24, starting at 5:30 p.m.
The CREP wetland tour will be held in conjunction with the 2011 Iowa Drainage School at the Borlaug Learning Center on the Iowa State University Northeast Research and Demonstration Farm near Nashua. The tour will depart from and return to the Borlaug Learning Center. The tour is free and will include a complimentary evening meal. The public is invited to register for the tour (separate from the Iowa Drainage School). To register, please phone 515-294-5429, or email: email@example.com.
Tour participants are encouraged to bring their hiking boots or waders for an up-close look at the CREP wetland structure. Matt Lechtenberg and Shawn Richmond, CREP specialists with IDALS, and Iowa State University Extension water quality engineer Matt Helmers will lead the tour and talk about the benefits, installation and financial incentives for these structures.
There are 37 counties in north-central Iowa eligible for enrollment in CREP. Research at Iowa State University has demonstrated that strategically sited and designed wetlands can remove 40-90 percent of nitrates and over 70 percent of herbicides from cropland drainage waters. These areas are as beautiful as they are functional. Tour participants are welcome to bring their hiking boots or waders to see these structures up close.
The research farm is located at 3321 290th Street, Nashua; take exit 220 off Hwy 218 and travel 1.2 miles west on county road B-60 (280th Street). Go 1 mile south on Windfall Avenue, then 0.2 mile east on 290th Street. The Borlaug Learning Center and farm headquarters are located on the north side of the road.
John Lundvall is the Iowa Learning Farms field coordinator. He can be reached at 515-294-8912 or by emailing email@example.com.

Penzance roadworks 'will finish destruction of our town'
Posted: February 13, 2013|
CONSTRUCTION of a roundabout to service a new supermarket could lead to eight months of roadworks at the gateway to Penzance.
The new road layout is among plans by supermarket giant Sainsbury's for its store on the old heliport site, and will be built between two already in place along this stretch of the A30.
The roundabout, which is being funded by the supermarket, is being combined with Cornwall Council's "wider aspirations" for the trunk road, which include a reduction in the speed limit from 50mph to 40mph and improved footways and cycle routes in the area.
However, there are fears that disruption, delays and congestion from the works will have a damaging impact on the town.
"If you make it difficult for people to get into Penzance and couple that with high car parking prices and out-of-town shopping, there isn't much else that can be done to destroy the town," said Peter Wood, manager of the Wharfside Shopping Centre.
"Talk about ticking boxes."
It is estimated the highways works will take 32 weeks to complete and they are set to begin in April, subject to legal agreements.
Mr Wood said the timing couldn't be worse and he was worried it would hit the tourism industry and harm the local economy.
"If you block the road for whatever reason you're slowing down traffic and you're sending a message to holidaymakers that we'd love them to come to Penzance but it'll be aggravating getting here," he said. "This will have a major impact, and not just for Penzance but for people travelling on further towards Land's End."
The Sainsbury's development at Eastern Green was given planning approval by Cornwall Council in October.
British International Helicopters sold the land to the supermarket after it shut down its air service to the Isles of Scilly last year.
Along with speed restrictions and better pedestrian and cycle links, the A30 development also includes a new bus stop along Jelbert Way.
Around £53,000 of the Section 106 money Sainsbury's agreed to pay to the town for infrastructure improvements as a condition of planning consent will be used to fund these works.
The roundabout bill is part of the supermarket development and is also designed to cater for traffic from a future park-and-ride service operating from the site.
Cornwall Council will carry out the works on behalf of Sainsbury's, using its in-house contractor Cormac Solutions Ltd (CSL).
The authority said while the roadworks might cause some short-term delays to traffic, the council's own streetworks team would work with CSL to keep disruption to a minimum.
Ideas to limit the impact on motorists included phasing the works so they took place outside peak times, reducing each side of the carriageway to one lane and carrying out work overnight.
There would also be discussions over possibly staggering the development so it stopped during the bumper six-week summer holiday period.
"The team will approve the phases and layout of traffic management and place restrictions on CSL's access to the road network where appropriate," said a spokeswoman at County Hall.
"CSL's performance will be closely monitored and appropriate action taken in the event that temporary traffic arrangements need to be amended."
Sainsbury's declined to offer anyone for interview by The Cornishman and instead issued a statement saying the introduction of a roundabout on the A30 had been fully considered in a detailed transport assessment.
"Highways, and access to the store specifically, was subject to extensive consultation throughout the planning application process and discussed at length with the Highways Agency and Cornwall Council to ensure we came up with the best possible solution," the statement said.
"Our consultation also showed that many people felt that the introduction of a roundabout at this point would in fact slow traffic down along the A30, making it safer.
"It would also be consistent with Cornwall Council's aspirations to improve the gateway to Penzance."
The new Sainsbury's store is expected to open for business before Christmas.

On one of our last days in London, we reflected on our list of things to do, see and eat. We found one important item unchecked. We hadn't taken the long tube ride out to west London to eat at the 222 Veggie Vegan Restaurant. I'd read a bit about it online, including posts by Quarry Girl and Vegan in Brighton, and really wanted visit and try their crazy looking pancake dessert.
After an hour on the tube, we arrived at 222 ready to eat. We had two choices for lunch, indulge in the all you can eat buffet for £7.50 GBP ($11.06 USD) or grab a box of takeout for £5.50 GBP ($8.11 USD). Keeping in mind we wanted to save room for dessert, we went for the takeout and stuffed enough food in their little takeout box to feed us both. We walked to a nearby park and enjoyed our lunch on a bench beside some community garden plots.
From the lunch buffet, we scored steamed vegetables, spaghetti, veggie salad, bean salad, sprouts, curry and potatoes. It didn't look very pretty stuffed in the takeout box, but the food was simple, healthy and yummy. After finishing our lunch in the park, we headed back to 222 for dessert.
Vegan pancakes are rare. Vegan pancakes stuffed with ice cream, covered in chocolate and vanilla sauce…well, it was a first for us! The wholemeal pancake was made to order and dolled up with fresh berries. Stuffed with vanilla ice cream, the whole thing reminded me of the crazy dessert crepes they sell in Japan.
The pancake was quite thin, I'd actually classify it as a crepe. It was delicious and we felt very spoiled to be enjoying such a treat. However, we found it incredibly messy and hard to eat. We both used a fork, knife, and spoon, a total of six pieces of cutlery, to finish off this unique creation. The price was super reasonable, especially for London, ringing in at £3.70 GBP ($5.45 USD).
If you live in London or have more than a few days to visit, I'd recommend making the long trip out to 222 for a cheap lunch and some dessert. Despite the hour it took us to travel each way, it was definitely worth it.

When asked why painting the human figure was so important painter Scott
Burdick was matter-of-fact. "Because we are human," he said. "If an
alien species were to come down today, they wouldn't respond to the
human form or face like we do. Just like pictures of lobsters don't
remind us of our parents or children. We are human, and we are most
tied up in other people and our relationships to each other."
Artists aren't superheroes. No capes, no spandex onesies, and no
butlers named Alfred. Artists don't necessarily lead extraordinary
lives in which they paint or draw between bouts of saving the world.
Artists are like you and me. They are you and me, actually. We
all go about our day-to-day lives and amidst the daily to-dos and
stressors we try to recognize inspiration when it hits, and then we try
to find enough time to actually do something about it.
Painting outdoors in winter can be an extreme sport. The snow, the
wind, the cold—it takes a certain kind of artist to paint a winter
landscape while in a winter landscape. The first time I
attempted this was a couple of years ago when I was living in
Connecticut. Two feet of snow had fallen the day before, but when I
looked out my window the scene was so inviting. I didn't go far and
didn't stay out long, but I had fun trying to capture the light effects
and reflective surface of the snow during daylight.
When I was a kid, my mom always cut coupons on Sunday morning. I'd sit
beside her and do the same, but I'd flip through magazines and
newspapers and cut out pictures I liked or lettering that I thought was
neat, and I never gave up my artsy coupon clipping habit because it's a
great way to pull inspirational images into my orbit.

Fly Higher, See Farther…
Room 204 students have been focused on eagles lately.
"The bird that flies highest, sees farthest." – Richard Bach
We recently read a story entitled Fly, Eagle, Fly by Christopher Gregorowski. We often chat about the benefits of activating our prior knowledge before we dive into a reading. With so many great eagle resources available, we really dove deep! Because students were so interested in the conversation, I thought I'd post about some of the photos, videos and websites we shared.
My family and I were lucky enough to see many eagles during our trip to Alaska this summer:
These were taken in Ketchikan, where the adults and juveniles perched all along the jetty, hoping to catch their next meal:
We moved on to Juneau, where we were treated to feeding frenzy at the end of our full-day fishing and photo safari. Talk about fireworks on the Fourth of July!!
Here is a video as we watched dozens of eagles swoop in to eat chicken. Yum!
This last one was taken at the end of our trip at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Girdwood, Alaska.
I also shared the following site with students – but we cannot stream it at school (it uses too much bandwidth). Perhaps you'll have time to check it out at home…. In Decorah, IA, there are a pair of American Bald Eagles who have made their home alongside a trout farm. There are webcams trained on the nest, and they broadcast 24/7 for viewers to observe the comings of goings of the Mom & Dad eagle, as well as their eaglets. This year, there are three eggs laid, and though the cold weather has threatened the viability of two eggs, it appears as if the 3rd egg will hatch in a few weeks. Stay tuned – it's pretty cool!!!
If you have any eagle wisdom to share, be sure to leave us a comment! We're super excited to learn more.

external HD on a macbook pro
just got a macbook pro and im trying to get my old pics on to here,i plugged it in first time and it worked but not it doesnt show up when i plug it in. im using usb 2.0 NOT firewire, iv tried both ports but it still wont show up . please help !
If you open up Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities), does it show up on the left hand side when it is plugged in (and turned on if appropriate)? What filesystem has the drive been formatted with? Does it work with another computer?
Is it a branded USB hard drive?
One of my friends has a SATA enclosure with his own HDD installed and it's touch and go with his iMac - but my WD Passport works flawless every time.
yes it works with mt old laptop, its callled "Q Disk" , its formatted to take big files and cant remember whats thats called sorry :P lol
if it's NTFS then you only have read access under OSX
for full NTFS read/write access you need to install the appropriate filesystem driver, you can use wither the free NTFS-3G (+MacFUSE) or paid Paragon NTFS for Mac
it's easy to install without a hassle or anything
however it's strange that you don't see the drive at all, you should definitely try what Vansmith suggested, have a look at Disk Utility and try mounting the disk

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Work,
Stephen N. Shields (Ellicott City, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Men and Marriage (Paperback)
Men and Marriage benefits the modern reader in a number of ways. Providing excellent data and analysis on males and females in modern society, the book enables its reader to better understand the modern controversy over men and women's respective roles in society. Gilder feels that one of modern society's key problems is its denials of the differences between the sexes and, as a logical corollary, its denial of appropriate roles. He writes, "Though rejecting feminist politics and lesbian posturing, American culture has absorbed the underlying ideology like a sponge. The principal tenets of sexual liberation or sexual liberalism--the obsolescence of masculinity and femininity, of sex roles, and of heterosexual monogamy as the moral norm--have diffused through the system and become part of America's conventional wisdom." Gilder has also performed an invaluable service by providing relevant material for couples and singles. Gilder wants the single woman to u! nderstand that if she decides to sacrifice her twenties on the altar of career, she could easily find herself a celibate priest serving that altar for the rest of her life. Gilder reports that Yale and Harvard sociologists, after analyzing census data, concluded that a woman who waits until her mid-thirties only has a 5% chance of getting married. The author also has much to say to the single man. Of the most unique and striking of Gilder's observations on the sexes is his contention that the average single man struggles with an inherent irresponsibility that only marriage can cure. While this assertion may have had a secure, albeit covert, place in yesterday's conventional wisdom, Gilder boldly presents the thesis with impressive statistical support. Single men are 30% more likely than single women to be unemployed. If they get a job, the single man will make very little more than his single girlfriend, in striking contrast to the substantial earning power of the married! man who takes home 70% more income. Single college gradua! tes will normally earn about the same as married graduates of high school. Gilder suggests, "It could well be more important for an ambitious young man to get married than to go to college" (p. 63). Demographically, except possibly for the divorced, the single most disturbed group in the United States is single men. Between the ages of 25 and 65 the single man is 30% more likely than single women to be depressed. He is 30% more likely to exhibit a tendency toward phobias and passivity. The unmarried man is three times more likely to experience a nervous breakdown and 22 times more likely to be committed to an institution because of mental disease. And these statistics are not just cause for sympathy for the single man, but a cause for concern. For 90% of all violent crime is committed by single men even though above the age of 14 they only make up about 13% of the population. The statistics and analyses that Gilder provides on singleness leads to another vita! l area that he addresses. A theme that Gilder resounds with great force is the degree to which a healthy society is in fact dependent on the health of its families. He writes, "As a social institution, marriage transcends all individuals. The health of a society, its collective vitality, ultimately resides in its concern for the future, its sense of a connection with generations to come" (p. 16). While the first six chapters of the Gilder's tome, which focus on sexual roles, are easily worth price of the book; its remainder is a tour de force on the relationship of modern sexual thought and the ghetto, welfare, homosexuality, the workplace, education, politics, and biogenetic engineering. While many will view this work as an anachronistic throwback to the 50s, it's empirical support of its major theses gives the reader pause.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, wonderful book,
James P. Brett "Publius" (Valrico, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Men and Marriage (Hardcover)
This book is as true as the day it was first published. Men truly need women, as the author writes, to "socialize and civilize" them. Without the influence of women, men are left to their own devices, and become slaves to their passions, which generally results in what would be termed "anti-social" behavior. "Radical feminism" is not good for this country, or any other. Rather than trying to make the sexes "equal", we should appreciate the differences. The author notes it is these differences that make society "work". This book is a great little gem, and definitely worth your time.

Vladimir Putin's decision to return to the Russian presidency, despite the drama surrounding the announcement, surprised almost no one. Putin hinted at his return along the way, at times so obviously as to suggest he had lost interest in the game. For example, when he sent his NATO envoy, Dmitri Rogozin, to speak at a conference with President Dmitry Medvedev earlier this month, Rogozin contradicted all Medvedev's main points. No one would dare show up the president in public like that without Putin's express direction.
And while that may have been embarrassing for Medvedev, there was no international audience for that episode. The way Putin announced his return on Friday, however, was in the fashion most degrading to Medvedev. He said: "I want to say directly: An agreement over what to do in the future was reached between us several years ago." In other words, Putin declared in front of Medvedev and while the country was watching that Medvedev never had any power and he never would. But it got even worse for Medvedev, and fast.
Immediately after the announcement that Medvedev would become Putin's prime minister–reversing nothing but the titles the two men have as they sit atop the "tandemocracy"–Russian Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin thundered that he would resign if Medvedev became prime minister. (He did not complain about Putin's looming presidency, as he is an ally of the Russian strongman.) This–not the announcement Putin would become president–terrified Kudrin's Western counterparts. Kudrin is a budget hawk given to free market economics, and represents the voice of reason within the government of a country rich in oil and natural gas.
If the fact that the world yawned at Medvedev's future but panicked at the prospect of losing Kudrin wasn't bad enough for the sitting Russian president, Kudrin's threat was interpreted both inside and outside Russia as Kudrin's way of making a play for prime minister himself–something that remains a distinct possibility, even though Medvedev has already been publicly designated as the next prime minister. Today, in what may have been the most damaging incident yet, Medvedev ordered Kudrin to resign from the government. Though Kudrin eventually submitted his resignation, he made a show of reminding Medvedev that he didn't actually have the power to fire him outright. Here is how Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty described the ensuing exchange:
A surprisingly defiant Kudrin said that he would consult with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin before taking any action. Medvedev ordered Kudrin to make his decision by the end of the day.
"You know what?" he told Kudrin. "You can consult with whomever you want — with the prime minister — but as long as I am the president, I make such decisions myself."
Medvedev seemed eager to demonstrate to the public and to senior officials that he remains the president until the end of his term in May 2012.
The exchange could provoke a crisis since, under the Russian constitution, the Russian president can only fire a deputy prime minister on the recommendation of the prime minister, although he can fire the entire government, including Putin.
Kudrin's grandstanding was another boon to Putin, since it made Medvedev look like a powerless president who could be defied without consequence; Medvedev is now dangerously close to being a political laughingstock. Though Putin values loyalty–indeed, it is the foundation of the siloviki's consolidation of power in the post-Yeltsin years–he may value raw power and political legitimacy even more. As such, he will strongly consider replacing Medvedev next year with Kudrin. In a note of bitter irony, Medvedev was once the relative "liberal" the international community hoped would be in power; without question the West would now rather have Kudrin as prime minister.
It's unclear if Medvedev became too ambitious for Putin's taste, or if Putin is so commanded by his own insatiable ego he cannot control himself, but in three days Putin has presided over the political tarring and feathering of his faithful, handpicked governing proxy. If any in the West doubted Putin's authoritarian instincts, they have now lost any shred of justification for their naïveté.

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
I hope the Concerned Citizens want jobs to come to this county. Rosebud will provide some jobs for people who reside in the county and the miners who come here with experience will teach the ones who get hired from here and they will live here and pay taxes to the county.
If you are concerned about your water supply, you should not have sold your coal rights. A note here: They were originally sold to Consol Coal back in the sixties. Then they were sold recently to Rosebud by Consol. If you are worried about subsidence, it only occurs if the miners are reducing the size of the pillars that support the roof and they will notify you if that happens.
I was born and raised in a coal and coke region of western Pennsylvania and there I lived in an area that was mined out and never collapsed.
In ending this letter, I would hope all of those Concerned Citizens will vote for the next school levy.

As chairperson of the first Treasures of Time Antique Appraisals and Auction fundraising event, I want to express my sincere thanks to so many in the community who made the event a success.
Our event was held March 21 in the Days Inn. It turned out to be a great success and strengthens the capacity of Hospice of Tuscarawas, Stark and Carroll Counties to serve the area. Hospice provides a variety of services to those living in our area, including nursing care, music and art therapy, bereavement counseling and chaplain services. As a non-profit organization, funds raised through events such as Treasures of Time allow Hospice to serve all regardless of ability to pay.
The turnout and support for the event was so positive, the second Treasures of Time Antique Appraisals and Auction has been scheduled for March 20, 2011. Watch for information as we get closer to the event date.

To the Editor:
This article was written to express my admiration for the Carrollton Fairness Policy. The essence of this policy is to treat strangers and travelers to Carrollton with the same fairness and courtesy as you would treat your friends and neighbors. It's a Carrollton tradition.
I was reminded of this policy on my last visit in April. I lived in Carrollton from 1938-1958 and thoroughly enjoyed my younger days in the town. One of the scenic sights of Carrollton was the central square with its bandstand, trees, park benches, flagpole and its cannon. As a teenager, one of the favorite past times was to "cruise the square," which brings me to the actual layout of our public square. As a resident of Carrollton, I understood the square, as did all the other residents of the town. It is a one-way counter clockwise pattern around the square and everyone yielded to square traffic on the south end. At the north end, everyone followed the traffic light. Simple… until someone wanted to make a left turn or someone backed out of the angle parking at the Cummings Bank. On these latter occasions, the Carrollton residents knew the rules of the square and all went well. Even resident pedestrians could cross the square without getting run down.
But, bring in a stranger or an out-of-town tourist and the square became chaotic. Strangers went the wrong way, yielded when they shouldn't have, didn't yield when they should have and simply didn't know how to make a left turn.
I remember when my wife, a Cleveland suburb native, first came to Carrollton. Her comment about the square was, "It's pretty, but how does it work?" I tried to explain it to her. And she tried driving around it. After several attempts I told her to just do the best she could with the square and blow her horn as she traveled around it.
"Carrollton people will hear the noise, see the strange license plate and make room for you." But it was plain to see that unless you lived in Carrollton, you were not going to understand the square. And this hardly seemed fair if you were a visitor, guest or an outsider spouse.
Well, this is where the fairness policy came into practice. The good people of Carrollton could see this situation was not fair to the outsiders. So those same people had large meetings and small meetings at the Virginia, Heartland Restaurant, Municipal Building and maybe even at Bluebird Farm. They decided the town should do something to make the square traffic fair for all.
It took a lot of planning by many people. It took some uprooting of curbs and lawns. It required some extra internal lanes to be formed and paved. The existing lanes were separated, given lane markers and painted with arrows. A new traffic light system with pedestrian light replaced the old traffic light. It must have taken a fair amount of money and time to re-do the square into its present configuration.
However, it has proven to be a worthwhile effort. The Carrollton square is not a beacon of fairness to all. On my recent visit to the town, I observed the traffic around the square and, sure enough, no one understands it! It doesn't matter if you were born and raised in Carrollton, you don't understand the arrows or the different lanes. Even the town residents don't know what the lanes are for. Traffic still comes to a stop when someone pulls out of the angle parking; only now there are several lanes blocked with traffic. And no one can make a left turn. Now Carrollton people are just as baffled by their own square as the visitors are. It is a matter of pride for the community and everyone is treated equally. It's a shining example of the Carrollton Fairness Policy.

Dear Editor,
The Asian Carp infestation of Lake Michigan has gained much attention in Ohio, as well as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers consideration to shut down the Chicago waterway. I have previously advocated that Asian Carp would disrupt the ecosystem of the Great Lakes and that a permanent solution is needed. However there is little evidence that the USACE needs to close the locks. The current barriers are effective and shutting down the locks could cause economic distress.
According to a recent study by DePaul University, data shows closing the shipping locks would cause a loss of more than $582 million in the first year and $4.7 billion over the next 20 years to the Chicago-region. Closing the locks would have a ripple effect in the Great Lakes region and hurt small business and manufacture jobs in Ohio.
Shipping by barges is less detrimental to the environment and reduces the number of trucks on the road. It also provides a safer transport of potentially hazardous materials. For more than 160 years boat traffic has moved through natural man-made waterways linking rivers to the Great Lakes – now isn't the time to change that process.
The USACE should rely on facts and not inconclusive experiments before taking action. The Great Lakes are an economic lifeline for Ohio and must be protected.

To the Editor:
I have been following with concern the recent articles about the Carroll Concerned Citizens in regard to the proposed mining by Rosebud Coal Co. This group is concerned about their "rights" (water, land, reasonable use, etc.) but there is no mention of the property rights of Rosebud, who owns or leases the mineral rights on the 30,000 acres in question. It seems to me that Rosebud Coal Co. has every bit as much right to access and utilize the portion of these properties it owns underground as any of the surface owners have above ground.
Moreover, each of the owners of these properties either sold or leased their mineral rights to Rosebud or bought their properties knowing full well the minerals were not included and someday the owners of those rights could choose to utilize them. As for the property values, what about the value of Rosebud's property if it can't be mined?
In the last edition of the FPS (May 13), Mr. Paul Feezel was quoted as saying, "There is $7 billion in coal under Carroll County… Who is going to receive the economic gain?" Well, Mr. Feezel, unless we've all gone socialist without knowing it, that would be the people who own the coal and dig it out of the ground. Who else would you expect to be entitled to it?
This situation reminds me of the stories I used to hear about city folks who moved to the country and then took legal action against the neighboring farmer for spreading manure on his fields.

Women's Basketball Falls to NC State, 71-70
March 3, 2011
Greensboro, NC - For the second year in a row, NC State overcame a double-figure second half deficit to knock off Boston College in the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament. The 10th-seeded Wolfpack got past the seventh-seeded Eagles, 71-70, in the tournament's opening round at the Greensboro Coliseum Thursday night.
Bonae Holston scored 17 of her team-high 21 points and pulled down all but one of her nine rebounds in the second half as she led the Wolfpack to the come-from-behind victory. Marissa Kastanek added 10 of her 15 points after the intermission in NC State's dramatic victory.
Boston College led by as many as 15 in the first half before NC State pulled to within five. The Wolfpack outscored the Eagles 18-8 to close the half and made it a three-point game early in the second period. Despite a scrappy effort, it looked like the undersized Wolfpack would be unable to repeat last year's effort. Boston College used a 17-6 run to turn a three-point lead into a 51-37 advantage with 15:03 to play.
Then NC State's encore performance began. Trailing 55-43 with 11:55 remaining, the Wolfpack used a 12-0 run to tie the game at 55-55 and took a 61-59 lead - its first since holding a 4-2 advantage - on two Kody Burke free throws with 5:50 to play.
NC State extended the lead to four on three occasions in the final minutes, with Boston College tying it at 65 with just under two minutes. The Eagles regained the lead, 70-69, on two Kerri Shields free throws with 24 seconds to play.
The Wolfpack, which was previously 1-6 this season in games decided by five points or less or in overtime, then got two clutch free throws from Brittany Strachan with 14 seconds on the clock. When Stefanie Murphy's jumper with one second remaining missed the mark, the Wolfpack's come-from-behind victory was complete.
Carolyn Swords, a two-time All-ACC center, registered her 14th double-double of the year, leading all players with 27 points and 12 rebounds, but the Eagles were unable to overcome 25 turnovers and NC State's 22 second-chance points.
"My heart is aching for these players. I wanted them to win and it just really hurts to lose by one point," said Boston College coach Sylvia Crawley. "I thought in the second half turnovers and offensive rebounds really hurt us. Give credit to NC State. They're a really aggressive team. They're a good team."
With the win, NC State (14-16) advanced to play second-seeded Miami in Friday's quarterfinal matchup. Boston College fell to 18-12 with the loss.
Game 3 Notes: NC State improved to 40-29 in the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament, including 3-2 in the opening round. The Wolfpack ranks third all-time in ACC Tournament victories, trailing only North Carolina (51, before Thursday's 8 p.m. game against Clemson) and Maryland (46).
NC State is 4-1 under Coach Kellie Harper in the tournament. Harper's team was the No. 6 seed last season, but won three games before falling to top-seeded Duke in the championship.
NC State has been winning tournament games lately with defense. Harper's team has shot 38 percent in five straight ACC tournament games, but the Wolfpack is 4-1 in those games.
Boston College fell to 4-6 in the ACC Tournament, including 3-3 in the opening round.
The game was a rematch of last year's semifinal, which NC State, the No. 6 seed, defeated No. 7 seed Boston College 63-57. In that game, the Wolfpack rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit. On Thursday, the Wolfpack trailed 24-9 in the first half and 53-39 in the second.
In the second half alone, NC State's Bonae Holston had a stat line worthy of a full game. Holston led the Wolfpack back with 18 points and seven rebounds after halftime, giving her a total of 21 points and nine rebounds. Holston played 38 minutes.
Boston College's Carolyn Swords recorded her 14th double-double of the season, with 27 points and 12 rebounds in 36 minutes.
Swords is in elite company as a field-goal shooter. She is the ACC's career leader in field-goal percentage, and she is the national leader in shooting this season, with a rate of 72.19 percent (218 of 302). On Thursday, she made 10 of 13 field-goal attempts.
In her career in the ACC Tournament, Holston made 43 of 64 attempts in four seasons. She had just one tournament game, in her freshman season, in which she didn't shoot 50 percent or better from the floor.
NC State will take on second-seeded Miami in Friday's quarterfinals. The Hurricanes defeated the Wolfpack 84-77 on Jan. 27 in Coral Gables, Fla., in the teams' only meeting this season.
Boston College Quotes: THE MODERATOR: We have Coach Crawley and Carolyn Swords from Boston College. Coach, if you would start out with an opening statement, we'll open it up for questions.
COACH Sylvia Crawley: My heart is aching for these players. I wanted them to win, and it just really hurts to lose by one point. I thought in the second half turnovers and offensive rebounds hurt us. You've got to give credit to NC State. This is a very aggressive team, and they're a good team. So we give them a lot of credit. I thought they played hard tonight.
THE MODERATOR: Questions?
Coach, what was option one on that last play?
COACH Sylvia Crawley: We wanted to attack the basket, to, you know, just be aggressive attacking the basket so that we could either score or get fouled. You know, we did a pick and roll with Jac and Carolyn so that we can get the ball inside off a roll or attack the basket. First let's shoot a jump shot at the end of the game. That's what we were aiming for.
Talk about how good Carolyn's game was tonight.
COACH Sylvia Crawley: I thought Carolyn played a very solid game. We put her on the block, and she kind of we told her to own the paint tonight. I thought she handled every assignment that we gave her tonight. She played a big role in helping us break the press. She was a big target for us. So she did a lot of different things to help us tonight. So I was extremely proud of her tonight.
This is for Carolyn. Game kind of seemed similar to the one in this tournament last year against NC State. Wondering how it felt to you out there and if you kind of had flashbacks to that while you were playing. Carolyn Swords: NC State is still a very aggressive team that keeps fighting and pushes through the second half. I was trying very hard to stay in the moment. They did a really great job of coming back and really securing the win.
Coach, you guys played these guys at the end of the season last year. You played them about a week ago. Was there a trend that you kind of saw, that you saw as the lead started going down, something that you warned them against? Or is it something that just kind of or is it something that just kind of that you guys were unprepared for as they came back for the run?
COACH Sylvia Crawley: I wouldn't say unprepared. I think the way we lost last time was different than the way we lost this time. Last game we got into foul trouble. One of their players shot more free throws than our entire team. We got into a lot of foul trouble. We had to play zone just to protect some of our players. It was hard for us to block out, out of the zone. They figured out how to penetrate the gaps in our zone. Versus this game, we played very little zone. We played man to man and kind of packed in the paint. So it happened differently than it did last week. We tried to just do something different and not allow it to happen the same way.
I thought our defense was effective the first half. And even at times during the second half, I thought we did a great job of sticking to the game plan, protecting the paint, forcing them to kick it back out to the outside, and make a good pass. So to answer your question, no.
Coach, how tough is the tournament situation for you all? When you came back here, you know if you play a North Carolina team, 90 percent of the crowd is going to be against you? Nothing you can do about it, but how do you prepare for that?
COACH Sylvia Crawley: I think the season prepares us for that because we travel down here to play teams and no one is rooting for BC because we're away. So our players are ready for that. We don't use that as an excuse. We do travel a long way to get here, but we don't think about that when we play in this tournament. You know, we just try to win.
Are you relieved you won't see NC State anymore?
Carolyn Swords: I'm disappointed I've done my last ACC Tournament. NC State is a great team. Hope they go far and do great things. I wish them luck.
What do you think your chances are for the NCAA? If you don't get there, will you go to the WIT for sure?
COACH Sylvia Crawley: We're not sure. We'll go home and assess the situation and see what happens.
What about you, Carolyn? Would you like to play another game?
Carolyn Swords: I love this team that we have right now, and any opportunity I have to play would be wonderful.

The year was 1830 and France was in a recession. The Bourbon monarch, Charles X, dissolved the Chamber of Deputies and began placing restrictions on the press. The result was an uprising in Paris. The city was taken by the rebellion and in the end Charles X was forced out and left the country. The throne went to Louis Phillippe, Duke of Orleans.
Poland, which had been divided amongst its neighbors in 1815, also saw an uprising in the Congress of Poland, which was under oppressive Russian rule. The rebellion in November 1830 had a promising start, drawing sympathy from other countries, but was soon put down. The Russians sought retribution. Polish estates were confiscated and given to Russian officials, universities closed, officers pressed into service in the Russian military, Polish nobles (known as the szlachta) were dispossessed and sent to Caucasus, and others were executed. (Other resources: "The Polish Way: A Thousand-year History of the Poles and their Culture,†by Adam Zamoyski.)

Despite living in New York for some fifteen years now, and despite the iconic nature of this particular attraction, I had never been on — nor indeed even seen — the Roosevelt Island Tram. Somehow, despite countless trips up and down the FDR Drive and occasional trips back and forth across the Queensboro Bridge, I never once caught a glimpse of that bright red skytram being tugged across the East River on suspended cables. It could possibly be because I was, you know, driving, and if you've ever been in that particular part of town you know that it does not usually work out very well to distract oneself from the road. Eventually though, and probably after staying up late watching Nighthawks yet again, it was determined that enough was enough. High time to get suspended high above the river en route to a river island about which I know very little and which is visited rarely by anyone who does not live there.

The Great 52 New Things Adventure
I am a contradiction in that I crave variety and new experiences yet am also prone to becoming a creature of habit. As I get older, the tendency to simply go with what I know or stay at home for the night is getting increasingly powerful. In these moments, the dandy rakehell in me must furiously wave a handsome silk handkerchief in my face until I admit that lying prone on the couch, eating Cheerios straight out of the box is not what's going to make for an interesting story in the future. And as I have perhaps said before. I pay to live in New York. If I was going to spend my free time sitting around at home, I'd choose to do it in a much cheaper city.

Thoroughly coat the paper with cooking spray; the marshmallow will stick to any uncoated areas.Sprinkle gelatin over juice concentrate in a small bowl; let stand, stirring once or twice, until the gelatin softens, about 6 minutes. Stir together sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Then increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring. Stir in the gelatin mixture and vanilla and return to a boil, stirring. Boil for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and continue stirring until the gelatin completely dissolves.Pour the mixture into a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer (using a whisk attachment if possible), gradually raising the mixer speed from low to high, until the mixture is thickened, lightened in color and greatly increased in volume, 5 to 7 minutes. (It's better to overbeat than underbeat.) Beat in food color (if using).Scrape the marshmallow into the prepared dish, using a rubber spatula coated with cooking spray. Spread evenly to the edges. Thoroughly coat a second sheet of wax paper with cooking spray and pat it down on the marshmallow surface. Set aside until the mixture cools and firms up, about 4 hours. Transfer to the freezer for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours before cutting.To cut the marshmallows, sift about a third of the confectioners' sugar onto a large clean cutting board. Peel off the top sheet of wax paper, then invert the chilled slab onto the sugar. Remove the pan and peel off the second sheet of wax paper. Sift about a third of the remaining sugar over the top. Using a large, sharp, lightly oiled knife, trim off the uneven edges all around. Mark, then evenly cut the slab lengthwise and crosswise into eighths to make 64 squares. Generously dust all the cut surfaces of the marshmallows with more sugar to keep them from sticking together. Clean off and re-oil the knife as needed. Cover and return the marshmallows to the freezer until chilled, about 45 minutes.To dip the marshmallows, line 2 baking sheets or trays with nonstick foil (or coat regular foil with cooking spray). Place chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. (Alternatively, see "No Microwave?" below.) Microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 30 seconds, until mostly melted. Stir until the remaining chocolate melts completely. If the chocolate seems a little thick for dipping the marshmallows, stir in oil 1 teaspoon at a time until smooth; microwave on Medium for 15 seconds, then stir again.Working with a batch of about 15 marshmallows (keep the remainder in the freezer), submerge them one at a time in the chocolate and use a large dinner fork to turn and coat completely. Lift the marshmallow out with the fork, tapping it against the side of the bowl several times and scraping it against the edge to remove as much excess chocolate as possible. Stir the bowl of chocolate occasionally to keep it blended. If it cools and stiffens at any point, microwave on Medium for 10 seconds, stir well and continue dipping. Place dipped marshmallows on the prepared pan, pushing them off the fork with the tines of another fork if needed. If a pool of chocolate forms around the base of the marshmallows, tap off more excess chocolate as subsequent candies are dipped.Refrigerate the dipped marshmallows until the chocolate is thoroughly chilled and firm, at least 1 hour. Gently pry the marshmallows from the foil with a table knife (fingertips will mar the surface). If desired, trim off the uneven edges around the bottom of the marshmallows with a paring knife. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Serve chilled or let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. E-mail recipe Print recipe To save this recipe, register now!

I'm tired of talking, but that's what President Levy Mwanawasa of Zambia wants to do. He's calling for an emergency meeting of SADC. The meeting is scheduled to start this Saturday.
Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa, who chairs the 14-nation Sadc, said the entire region needed to work together to find a solution. The meeting is due to start on Saturday.
Being the increasingly suspicious person that I am, I can't help wondering if that is the reason why the High Court ruling on the results has been deferred until Monday?
Zimbabwe's High Court will rule next Monday on an opposition request to force out the result of the country's presidential election.
"Conscious of the urgency of the matter, I am of the view that I exert myself to study the submissions, I should be ready with a judgement on Monday," judge Tendai Uchena said. (Via Sky News.)
On the plus side, Jacob Zuma appears to be less 'quiet' on the diplomacy front than Thabo Mbeki. My cynicism is growing, and I wonder how much this postion has to do with support for the Zimbabwean people and democracy in the region, or if its a chance for him to twist the knife in the outgoing president?
I wonder if maybe he knows, like we do, that the opposition has won and Mugabe is on his way out and he's beginning to establish a relationship with them on those grounds?
Who knows?! I just really hope it's the latter.
The MDC is still hoping that legal action in the High Court will lead to the immediate release of results.
Mr Zuma said the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) should have announced the results by now.
"I think keeping the nation in suspense, and as you know, the Zimbabwean issue has become an international issue - it is almost keeping the international community in suspense - I don't think it augurs very well," the African National Congress leader said.
Mr Zuma beat President Thabo Mbeki to the leadership of the governing ANC last year, and is favourite to become president new year.
Last weekend, Mr Mbeki, who led mediation efforts last year between President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party and MDC, said it was "time to wait".
It's all beginning to feel like a pre-written script unfolding.
Has any of these people taken note of the fact that in a democracy, people vote and the winner wins and the loser loses? That the will of the people is what should prevail, not the opinion of regional countries? Silly little idealistic me!
I'm beginning to feel like a pawn in a game played by suit-wearing men, and it makes me sick.
Robert Mugabe must be watching all this unfold too, or maybe he's on the phone all day coordinating it?
If he isn't right at the center busily securing his future, how does he feel seeing these small movements?
I think if there's any possibility that they provoke fear in him, we need to pay attention to what will we see in the next five days: I'm guessing more orchestrated farm invasions, more police on the streets, a few well-timed threats presented through the ever-obliging state media? Mugabe can be very predictable when he lashes out.
At the end of it all I'm left wondering if we're witnessing a pincer movement jerking into motion, one ready to grip and remove Mugabe. That's my hope.
My fear is that what we're seeing is actually yet another of those shameful well-known liberation brotherhood fuzzy-wuzzy 'I love you so much' hugs!
But one could (with blind optimism?) hope that it's actually a way for SADC to get Bob out of the country.....
Thanks Hope - you are the first person to give us news that the judgment has been delayed till Monday and that SADC is meeting on Saturday. Remind us to recommend you for a Pulitzer.
Hope is not lost - no pun intended.
Everyone outside - consider who you can telephone or email in the country you are in, and ask what is the position viz the talks and whether their representatives in the SADC region are able to represent our views. Remember they are busy with their own issues. They will only attend to ours if we ask. Lets get on their agenda and stay there!
There is probably well over 1 million if not 2 million Zimbabweans outside the country. We can get the phones humming. Let's invite our local colleagues to do the same thing.
Express our opinion that we would like a solution that is peaceful and lawful and we would welcome any assistance that our hosts can extend to us.
I have just found this link to an mp3 file of Benjamin Zander, the conductor, talking at Davos 2008.
It is his philosophy of leadership and "radiating possibility. As we have a long wait till Monday, people may find it relaxing and inspiring to listen to the "possibilities that human beings are". It is rather long, so if someone inside in Zimbabwe can download it with quicktime, it might be good.
"Possibility is always only one sentence away. No matter how difficult the task or dreadful the situation, possibility is only one sentence away."
It is very much worth listening to the end.
Stay safe.

Little White Alice eco-retreat in Carnmenellis chosen for groundbreaking UK project
Posted: April 03, 2014|
A CORNISH eco-holiday retreat has been chosen as the only UK base for a green energy research project.
Little White Alice in Carnmenellis, near Redruth, was selected by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) and Cardiff University as the UK base for a new energy-focused research project.
Rosie Hadden, owner of Little White Alice, said: "We are thrilled to be involved in this groundbreaking project. Our aim was for the holiday cottages to use less energy, but also to find a way of conserving the energy we produce, so that we eventually fulfil all our energy needs from renewable systems on site.
"To be chosen as the only UK test site currently being used is a fantastic achievement, and we are pleased to help to have an impact on energy conservation across Europe."
The outcome will be the design and production of an automated control system, which will enable green energy used across different buildings on a site to be optimised. Kelvin Jones, scientist at BRE, said: "Little White Alice was chosen as the test bed for the system as it combines several sources of renewable electrical generation across a small site.
"As a mixed energy site, with a variety of different sized buildings, which all require different energy usage, it will allow us to understand the energy demanded by different building types, and eventually enable us to optimise the supply."
The energy used at the site is produced by wind turbines, solar panels and ground-source heat pumps.
Discrete environmental monitoring equipment has been installed and will begin collecting data about how the properties currently consume energy.
Dr Jones said: "The next step will be to take the equipment and system to a larger site, with different occupancy times and buildings with a variety of different uses.
"(We have) the aim of eventually producing an easy-to-use automated system for the average home."

This weekend is the unofficial start to the beach season, so you know what that means.
Yep, folks on the Isle of Palms are going to be griping about parking.
Last week, islanders visited IOP City Council to lodge their annual complaint about daytrippers who descend on their homes like a swarm of locusts, only more destructive.
It's the same thing every year — people often park in their yards, use their hoses to rinse off and leave trash lying around like the riffraff that some of residents clearly think they are.
On the one hand, these complaints can grate on people who aren't fortunate to live on the front beach, or even a couple of blocks away.
But before you go dismissing their concerns as the problems of the rich, keep this in mind:
They have a point.
Spreading out
The Isle of Palms is a big draw around here.
Every July, more than a million cars go on and off the island. There are only 4,000 residents, so that means most of these folks are visitors.
Aside from the thousands of folks who rent the 10-bedroom monster homes, the island gets plenty of plain ol' daytrippers. They come in from Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Berkeley County — even Columbia.
Now, the city would like for most of those people to park in the commercial district, where there are shops and bathrooms. But the beach stretches for miles, and many of those people want to spread out. It's hard to blame them.
So they park along Palm Boulevard and use the various access paths to get to a little less-crowded beach.
And that's the problem.
A good number of these IOP visitors don't seem to know how to park and sometimes end up in people's yards, or even their driveways.
They traipse into private yards and leave behind trash like it's a landfill.
It doesn't matter where you live; no one wants to see that.
Tan, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
Like a good neighbor?
Every year, the city grapples with this issue.
A few years ago they started painting a chalk line down Palm Boulevard, to direct folks to park four feet off the pavement. It's worked well. They've put up some no-parking signs to improve line-of-sight for people pulling out of side streets.
This year they are sticking up signs directing people to the parking lots in the commercial district, in hopes they will discourage some folks from parking in yards.
Good luck with that.
IOP Mayor Dick Cronin says it's a lingering problem, one the city never can seem to solve.
"Obviously a lot of people want to go to the beach," Cronin says. "I would think offering restrooms would be popular for folks. But they like to spread out. That would be no problem if people respected the beach."
And that's the heart of this issue. Yes, the beach is public property and it belongs to every South Carolinian. Use it in good health — it's yours.
But on the way to your own personal beachfront property, don't trash someone else's.

Formula 1 Blog – BBC Top Gear
Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel pulled it out of the bag during qualifying in Istanbul for the Turkish Grand Prix, and not surprisingly, he looked pretty chuffed about it.
We like the Turkish Grand Prix, mainly because of that massive, triple-apex Turn Eight. Watching drivers pin it through there from the onboard camera is an adrenalin rush just sitting on the sofa. Imagine how it feels when your brain's being forced out of your right ear-hole by the G-force…
Jenson Button topped first practice this morning for the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, with Williams' Nico Rosberg going fastest in the afternoon.
'Phoenix from the flames' is an overused phrase relating to Brawn GP, but it's no less apt because of it. A Brawn one-two in Australia – who'd have predicted that only a month ago?
It's hard to come to terms with all the stories that have just been generated by that qualifying session! Is your head as muddled as mine? I'll do my best to un-muddle but it isn't easy!
It's nearly upon us. Even with all the winter testing and new regulations excitement, it's felt like a long time since Felipe Massa took the chequered flag in Brazil last year.
You will either agree or be outraged. Lewis Hamilton walked into the paddock this morning to be greeted by the news that Robert Kubica had been slagging him off for dangerous driving. Or, at least, that was the interpretation adopted by a couple of British national newspapers.
I love the silly season between the end of one year's racing and the beginning of the next. Who's going where, which drivers are changing teams, how that impacts on other free seats… there's just something about the intrigue that gets me. It's like the US presidential race, but actually interesting.

It's true, Vanderbilt's applications have grown (+73% in five years). A natural reaction is to try and find someway to stand out in the crowd. But for us, at the heart of the holistic review is an understanding of you - your past accomplishments, what you care about, and drives your curiosities. In each of these things - simplicity is a supreme virtue.
All is still quiet on the waitlist front, and I have no news there. The waitlist is still open and active. We have officially closed all transfer admissions however for the Fall. Today we'll be sending out the following email to all rising seniors on our mailing list announcing start of a new admissions cycle.
