Mississippi House members amended an unrelated Senate bill Thursday to allow the state Transportation Commission to raise the speed limit on some highways to 75 mph.
The amendment was offered by Rep. Johnny Stringer of Montrose. The House earlier passed his bill to allow the three transportation commissioners to increase top speeds on interstate highways and some other limited access highways.
But Stringer's bill died in a Senate committee and the prospects of the bill amended Thursday are uncertain.
A number of western states have 75 mph speed limits on rural interstates. Texas and Utah allow even higher speeds in some stretches. Maine and Louisiana are the only states with territory east of the Mississippi River that have 75 mph speed limits.

Sorry Black Butte XX11 fans..here's the story from the Deschutes Brewing blog:
The much anticipated release of Deschutes Brewery's Black Butte XXII is being canceled this year. The Imperial version of the brewery's popular Black Butte Porter, this year made with chilies, dark chocolate and orange peel, has been a favorite since it was first produced in 2008 for the brewery's anniversary on June 27th.
The experimental chocolate that was used in this year's formulation never fully dissolved in the beer. While most of it dissolved, a portion formed a layer on the surface of the beer. While the beer tastes fantastic, the visual presentation in the bottle is not up to Deschutes Brewery's long held commitment to quality and the customer experience.

Tewkesbury : Michelin's recommendations
Founded in Saxon times, this small town is dominated by the imposing profile of its great Norman abbey church. In this low landscape between the Malvern Hills and Cotswolds, its tower can be seen for miles around. Tewkesbury is bypassed by the railway line and surrounded by floodplains around the confluence of the navigable Rivers Severn and Avon. It grew very little in the 19C and has thus retained its historic character almost intact.

Durable Concrete Chemistry
Specialty admixtures have many benefits, along with some potential limitations.

A workability-retaining admixture is being used to maintain the workability and consistency of calcium nitrite-treated concretes for construction of two cooling towers at Brayton Point in Fall River, Mass.

An amine-ester organic corrosion inhibitor was used for the Denver International Airport parking structures.
A workability-retaining admixture was used to maintain the workability and consistency of calcium nitrite-treated concretes for construction of two cooling towers at Brayton Point power plant in Fall River, Mass.
High-range water reducers are necessary in the production of self-consolidating concrete.
Joe Nasvik
The versatility of concrete as a construction material is unparalleled. Its basic constituents are readily available in most parts of the world, it can be made and formed with relative ease into various shapes and aesthetically-pleasing designs, and, in general, it has been reliable, durable, and sustainable as a construction material.
There have, however, been durability problems for reasons that include the effects of the aggressive macro- and micro-environments to which concrete is sometimes subjected, the use of poor quality materials, poor quality control, and a failure to adhere to good concreting practices. The primary durability issues for concrete in aggressive environments include corrosion of embedded reinforcement, chemical and sulfate chemical attack, alkali-aggregate reactivity, and deterioration due to repeated cycles of freezing and thawing under saturated conditions.
To address these challenges, there are durability-enhancing chemical admixtures and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that—in addition to proper mixture proportioning techniques and knowledgeable structural design and construction—can ensure the durability of concrete in aggressive environments. The durability-enhancing admixtures include air entrainers, high-range water reducers (HRWRs, also commonly referred to as superplasticizers), corrosion inhibitors, lithium-based admixtures for mitigation of alkali-silica reaction (ASR), waterproofers, shrinkage reducers, and a crack-reducing admixture. The benefits and potential limitations of these specialty admixtures are discussed briefly in this article.
The durability of concrete is significantly influenced by its permeability, which, in turn, is influenced by, among other things, the water-cementitious materials ratio (w/cm) of the concrete. As a result, the w/cm of concrete intended to have low permeability is generally limited by code and specifications to no more than 0.45 and, quite often, a maximum of 0.40 where corrosion protection of reinforcement is desired.
HRWRs provide significant water reduction that can range between 12% and 40%, and they facilitate the use of low water contents without compromising concrete workability. Consequently, HRWRs are an essential component in producing low-permeability concrete and flowing concrete which, by definition, should have a slump of 7.5 inches or greater.
In general, the low w/cm afforded by HRWRs results in higher early and ultimate strengths. As such, HRWRs enable more effective use of cementitious materials. HRWRs have evolved over the years and current formulations are based on engineered molecules such as polycarboxylate ether (PCE). Unlike first-generation products that had to be added at the jobsite because of short slump life, current products are formulated for addition at the batch plant, where greater control can be exercised. The high slump and workability obtained with HRWRs leads to faster discharge, pumping, and placement of concrete, while reducing the amount of effort needed to properly consolidate concrete. Furthermore, HRWRs are absolutely needed in the production of self-consolidating concrete (SCC), a highly flowable and stable concrete mixture that requires minimal, if any, mechanical effort for consolidation within formwork. In concrete structures with highly congested reinforcement, properly proportioned SCC will facilitate construction and help minimize consolidation-related defects. This helps protect the overall durability of the structure.

Amen to that. I can understand the importance of jitter elimination/minimisation when reading audio data off a physical medium (cd), otherwise you will end up with duplicated or missing snippets. However, in bad cases this shoud be pretty obvious as you would hear some snap, crackle and pop. But I've got no clue as the the difference jitter management between your garden variety cdp and an expensive one makes. I am particularly suspicious of suggested measures to reduce jitter at other stages of the audio chain. Eg., between components, say SPDIF interface/cable between a dvd player and receiver. I would have thought signal timing and control etc would be pretty basic stuff at this stage, and not need any fancy electronics.
I find the lack of practical examples of what exactly jitter is to be suspicious.
I.e play album XXX and track YYY and if music AAA sounds like BBB there's jitter otherwhise if it sounds like CCC there isn't.
I do not have any dedicated stereo gear, and I have been looking at some possibilities for music improvement. My current situation is a Denon 2307 AVR and B&W 603S3 fronts and LCR60 centre and I must say I am very happy with the sound for both HT and music. At the moment I am using a DVD player for CDs because my old CD player has decided to go into retirement. I am considering purchasing a new CD player but I am not convinced it will make much of a difference, and perhaps I will be better off spending the money on buying some more CDs.
I am inclined to agree with Terry. Once you get your speakers right, most other improvements tend to be more marginal if not outright insignificant given the spend involved. Sometimes the improvements must be so marginal that a change in room temperature would probably have a more profound effect.
PS: I am a rank amatuer who only upgrades his system 1 in 20 years, so I hope I haven't offended anyone.
Anyway, all the brotherly love in this thread has inspired me to put on some good 'ol 60's music. Hmmmm, lets see, what have we got here..... how 'bout Hair - Original broadway cast? (may as well, because I don't have much on my head!).

Dear Editor:
Although it's obvious from reading his remarks that Dr. Tom Koshy (letter, Feb. 1) has little knowledge of firearms or the law-abiding neighbors who own them, I do not want to dispel his inaccuracies, nor do I wish to debate the issue of gun control with him or anyone else.
There is no gun control debate. A debate would imply that each side is listening. One side trying to out shout the other is not debate. My only wish is to comment on the last sentence of his letter: "I will not ask gun owners to wear a gun pendant ... like the Star of David worn by Jews in Nazi Germany." I find that statement quite ironic.
Publishing the names and addresses of law-abiding citizens on a website is the 21st century equivalent of wearing that badge and having Juden painted across your front door. Perhaps if the German people had resisted their government's "gun control" efforts, six million Jews and 50 million to 60 million other people, the majority of them civilians, would have been spared history's greatest tragedy.


text: As the South of England faces widespread drought and the whole country an energy crisis – not to mention the whacking great National Debt – David Cameron and his colleagues seem more interested in playing at politics than facing up to the challenges of running the country. They have tried to take advantage of the possibility of an oil tanker drivers' strike to spread alarm and despondency among members of the public, seemingly in order to boost their 'tough' profile and paint opponents as strike-friendly, leading in one case to disastrous results as a woman was seriously burned trying to handle petrol in her kitchen. With the current media focus on the one hundredth anniversary of the tragic fate of the Titanic, it is apt that Cameron & Co. are more focussed on rearranging the political deckchairs on the sinking ship than in addressing Britannia's problems of survival.

Eggplant gift boutique takes a new owner
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Elisa Payne likes to quote her husband's assessment. "He says it was cheaper to buy me the store than for me to continue to work in the store."
The store she is referring to is Eggplant, the glittering, glamorous magnet that draws customers from South Hills and beyond to the Bridge Road shops.
In early October, she and her husband, Charles K. Payne IV, bought the store from longtime owner Thebe Warren. They signed the papers, exchanged money and then everyone went back to the store for a champagne toast.
Warren, who bought the gift shop in 1996 and expanded it, is moving back to her home state of Texas on Friday.
"I loved having the shop and I loved living in Charleston, but I am ready for the next chapter in my life," Warren said. "I am so happy to see Eggplant continue. It will be in good hands with Elisa."
Although Elisa Payne jokes that she has been a shopper-in-training for 47 years, this is the first time the mother of three has worked for herself.
"I love it, I have no regrets. I'm not afraid to make mistakes," Payne said.
Payne started working a couple of days a week at the upscale gift shop seven years ago, mainly to get out of the house for a while. Her husband's business, Engine Sales and Service, had dissolved and he was at home along with their young children.
Over the years she added hours and got to know the customers very well. "I've met lots of people. I am a very social person," she said.
For now, Eggplant customers will see little change in the shop full of bright Christmas decorations, Vera Bradley bags, greeting cards, gourmet food items, unusual jewelry, children's clothing and an ever-revolving selection of gift items that are, in Payne's words, "anything but ordinary."
She would like to carry more locally made products. Eggplant already sells items by Wallace Metal Works of Charleston, Blenko glass and Adam Morton's hand-poured candles in decorative cut wine bottles as well as a few books by area writers. "There are people who do great work in this town, in this state," she said.
Likewise, customers will be served by the same employees plus a few new faces -- friends of Payne's. "I have a great staff -- and friends," she said.
The shop windows and store displays are put together by Susan Bliss, who has worked at Eggplant for 15 years. "She has a flair for design. Her parents used to have Jan's Flowers," said Payne. "I give her full rein."
Whitney Rey, who works with decorator Pat Bibbee, "has a great eye," and Nancy Abcouwer oversees the printing department, where unique invitations, cards and stationery can be ordered.
"It's nice to see everyone's talents come out," said Payne, adding later, "I'm no micromanager."
Despite individual contributions, Payne said, "All of us do the wrapping. Even my husband is going to learn to gift wrap."
Free gift wrapping is one of the perks of shopping at Eggplant. Another advantage is that the staff probably knows the recipient of the gift and what things she likes.
Payne smiles. "The men. They come in with that deer-in-the-headlights look. They don't want to be here; they are out of their element."
The staff knows to help them as fast as possible, but it's store policy to greet every customer and to check back with them. "It's that local feel. We really know our customers."
It's not unusual for a customer to call in a purchase. "We ring it up, box it and may run it out to the car."
To encourage young mothers to enter a shop full of breakables, Payne said there is a children's table with paper and crayons in the foyer outside the shop. The doors to the outside are too heavy for a child to push open.
"I love to see people with children up here," said Payne. "We have suckers behind the counters. It's family-friendly."
As for her own family, they know they aren't going to see much of her in November and December. She said her husband enjoys being at home with their children, ages 13, 11 and 9, and he'll serve as the shop's accountant.
"I tell people he's in charge of accounts payable, and I'm in charge of accounts spendable."
She'll go to the Atlanta gift market for the first time in January. Thebe Warren will go with her. And although she knows the tastes of Eggplant's core customers, she hopes to add her own style. She likes bling and quirky.
Payne also wants to develop an app for Eggplant, re-energize its website and establish a Facebook presence.
Payne has a journalism degree in advertising as well as a master's in business from West Virginia University. She was assistant general manager for the WVU student newspaper The Daily Athenaeum and worked in advertising for Gino's and Tudor's restaurants and Stone & Thomas department store before settling down as a stay-at-home mom for several years.
"This is my forte," Payne said, looking around the colorful, sparkling shop last week. "I love this job. I am happy to be here."
Eggplant and the other locally owned shops and restaurants on Bridge Road "are an important part of Charleston. I am proud to have been a part of that," said Warren.

Tickets to see Guatemalan pop star Ricardo Arjona are here! Ricardo Arjona is one of the most successful Latin American artists of all time, selling over 20 million albums throughout his career. Arjona, who is nicknamed El Animal Nocturno, continues his Metamorfosis Tour in winter 2013 with dates in Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida. The tour is in support of Arjona's latest album, Independiente. The album includes his song El Amor, which was a No. 1 Top Latin hit, as well as a second single, Fuiste Tu, which features singer Gaby Moreno. 2007's Adentro even won a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album. Catch the smooth singer as he performs such hits as Primera Vez, Mujeres, Te Conozco, Senora De Las Cuatro Decadas and many more!
Before launching his successful musical career, Ricardo Arjona was a star on the Guatemalan national basketball team. He once held the national record for most points scored in a game, with 78. However, Arjona followed his heart and pursued a career in Latin music. By 1985, he had gained enough traction for PolyGram Records to release his debut Dejame Decir Que Te Amo. However, the company tried to push a Latin-lover image instead of highlighting Arjona's true strength as a songwriter. Arjona was a teacher for several years but never gave up on singing. Over time his hard work paid off, and Arjona's songs, sung of important issues with heartfelt emotion, led to national success. He remains one of Guatemala's hottest acts today. Don't miss your chance to see one of Latin America's greatest singers by purchasing your Ricardo Arjona 2016 tickets today!

How to make verse and chorus flow
I am new to songwriting and this may be a stupid question. But I seem to have a hard to transitioning from verses to a chorus. I find a chord progression i like for the verse and chorus but just dont sound right together. I will also write a good intro and try to transition to the first verse but i feel there is no real transition. Are there any tips anyone could give me on how to make everything flow. Maybe as far as the chords i should choose or lyrics.

Maybe you're approaching your writing in a way that's too complex. I'd recommend you to try and keep it simple. Knowing a song's structure is something basic, but with practice, you might get to a point where you can make a song almost out of anything.
If you find that your chord progressions don't match, it might be that you're going out of the song's key. Try building it up in a different way, try playing a bit with the vocals so the melody matchs your progressions and then you'll have something good to work with.
It's also important to know the purpose of your song. What are trying to say? How do you wanna say it? What's the general theme, or rather, the main idea of the song? That last point is what I keep in mind to writte a good chorus, and I treat the verses as pieces of the message (or the story, if you like) I'm trying to send.
If you don't feel your sound is flowing out nicely, maybe you should reconsider all of it (what are you trying to say and how), adn try to approach it a different way. It's not just a matter of respecting a structure, really, it's about how you feel about it.

My best advice is to simply imagine how your favorite lyricists would do it. Over the years, I've, whether intentionally or not, mimicked the songwriting style of Bruce Springsteen. It's gotten to the point where almost all of my songs could have been written by him. That's not necessarily bad because I love his writing.
I'd recommend practicing by writing songs similar to your favorite writers. Steal, copy, lift - do everything they did to their favorites. You probably won't go wrong.

if you're writing a structured song (i assume you are), remember that the chorus doesn't necessarily have to come right after the verse or vice-versa. if two parts don't fit together, give yourself some time to transition between them. try not to rush it, just let the song go where it goes.
another thing i also do sometimes: i take the part that doesn't fit and move the all of the notes in it up/down a certain number of steps in the scale. so if i was in C major, and my progression was C E G, i could move it up one step in the scale. so then it would be Dm F Am. or two steps up the scale it would be E G B. sometimes a part that doesn't fit actually fits when you change the chords or notes it starts on. if you're using out of key notes then it gets a little more difficult, you may have to tweak the some of those notes so they sound right.
i usually do it with all the melodies and etc. in that part too. it does make it feel different but it still kind of moves the same. it's especially good for making variations without completely rewriting stuff.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - Schools in the Washington area will have counselors and some extra police patrols as students return to class following the school shooting in Connecticut.
On Sunday, Fairfax County Schools Superintendent Jack Dale said county police would increase patrols and visibility this week around all county schools. Dale says this is not a response to any threat. He says it's a police initiative to enhance safety and alleviate anxiety. Fairfax County is the largest school system in the Washington area with 181,000 students.
Loudoun County also is increasing patrols around elementary schools.
In Maryland, Montgomery County Public Schools plan to have counselors available Monday to support the county's 149,000 students. Officials say school principals will take time to make sure children are dealing with the tragedy as best as they can.

Leadership from all over 2nd Marine Division attended the dinner to honor the 17 Marines and sailors that had been recognized by their units as going above and beyond both in combat and in the United States.
The Marines and sailors honored were attending the 6th Dinner for Heroes and were given a lot of recognition for their courage and selflessness.
�These guys were nominated for everything from war time heroics to saving lives here at Camp Lejeune, like a little kid that was drowning,� said Lukeman. �These guys have also excelled at what they do every day, and their commanders have noticed that and wanted to recognize them for their accomplishments.�
Paul Chapa, the founder of the Dinner for Heroes, started the event in January 2011 as a way to give back to Marines and sailors for their outstanding service. Other organizations such as Harris Teeter, Acosta and Nash Finch have joined with Chapa to donate food for the dinner.
�This is our way of saying thank you to our Marines. You all sacrifice so much to enable us to do what we do every day,� said Chapa. �It�s all about honoring those that have served, and it�s an absolute honor to be a part of this even if it�s a small part.�
Before the dinner started, Lukeman introduced himself and all the people present. He then introduced the Marines being honored for their outstanding achievements.
�Each and every one of you are all deserving of being nominated for this dinner, and I am very proud of all of you for being recognized by your command. This is our way of saying thank you,� said Lukeman.

Supply Chain Management: Surge in U.S. chip sales confirms forecast
The SIA Global Sales Report (GSR) is a three-month moving average of sales activity. The GSR is tabulated by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization, an independent, non-profit organization established by the global semiconductor industry to compile industry statistics.
July 06, 2010
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported today that worldwide sales of semiconductors in May were $24.7 billion, a sequential increase of 4.5 percent from April when sales were $23.6 billion and a year-on-year increase of 47.6 percent from May 2009 when sales were $16.7 billion. As expected, the year-on-year growth rate declined slightly from the 50.4 percent reported in April. All monthly sales numbers represent a three-month moving average.
"Global sales of semiconductors in May reached a new high and remain on pace to reach the SIA forecast of 28.4 percent growth to $290.5 billion in 2010," said SIA President George Scalise. "Chip sales have been buoyed by strength in sales of personal computers, cell phones, corporate information technology, industrial applications, and autos. Unit sales of personal computers are now expected to grow by 20 percent this year and cell phone unit sales are predicted to be up 10 to 12 percent over 2009 levels.
"The automotive market is also slowly recovering after several years of weak sales. Demand from the corporate information technology and industrial sectors that had pushed out replacement cycles during the global economic recession is beginning to come back."
SIA once again noted that the industry year-on-year and sequential growth rates are likely to continue to slow during the second half of 2010. "Recent chip sales have shown robust demand, but the year-on-year growth rates also underscore the very depressed market conditions of the first half of 2009. Going forward, the year-on-year growth comparisons will reflect the industry recovery that gained momentum in the second half of last year.
"Growing concerns about issues such as government debt, declining consumer confidence, and pressures on government spending do not appear to have affected worldwide semiconductor sales to date, but given the semiconductor industry's growing sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions, these issues bear watching in the second half of 2010," Scalise concluded.

12 Signs of Depression in Men
What depression looks like
More than 5 million men in the U.S. experience depression each year.
Clinical depressionin women or mencan cause sadness and a loss of interest in once pleasurable activities. But depression can sometimes manifest in different ways in different people.
"While the symptoms used to diagnose depression are the same regardless of gender, often the chief complaint can be different among men and women," says Ian A. Cook, MD, the Miller Family professor of psychiatry at the University of California–Los Angeles.
Here are 12 signs of depression in men.

Solar Nest
this wiki
To make an affordable cooker, it has been assumed that transparent sheet plastic (polyethylene), some fibrous material and 4 reasonably straight sticks are available (or possibly the plastic could be secured on top with small stones). The oven comprises a "nest" of fibrous material- in this case shredded coconut husk- about 200mm high with a cooking cavity approximately 450mm diameter and 150mm deep.
In the basic model commonly available transparent sheet polyethylene was stapled to a 500mm x 500mm frame made from 40mmx20mm battens- like a double-glazed window with an effective aperture of about 0.25 sqm, which was placed over the cavity. The cooking vessel was a 200mm-square pressed steel pan 50mm deep. A small sheet of the same plastic formed a lid to the pan to maximize direct solar gain to the pan and to minimize heat loss by evaporation/convection.
A series of cooking tests were conducted on clear sunny days during March 2007 in Perth, Western Australia (Latitude 32° S) with maximum air temperatures of 25-32°C. A mass of water plus grain of 1kg was placed in the pan, and placed in the cavity at 11am local solar time. In all cases satisfactory cooking was achieved before 3pm local solar time. A dish of chicken and vegetables and a 1kg leg of lamb were also fully cooked. The tests demonstrated that by using an aperture of 0.25sqM, practical cooking temperatures and times can be achieved with transparent sheet plastic without the need for complex reflectors to increase the effective aperture or glass to increase the heat trapping.
The "nest" eliminates the need for a box, and could be made from any locally available fibrous material, such as bark, grass, straw, cloth or sterilized animal manure. While the performance of the oven can be enhanced by being deeper, blackened and by using one or two sheets of glass, these tests demonstrated that satisfactory cooking can be achieved with as little as 50 cents(US) of sheet plastic in a wide range of circumstances temperatures and/or shorter cooking times) would always be desirable within cost constraints.
The test was standardized using an electronic probe thermometer immersed in 1 liter of water in the pressed steel pan used above. Temperature measurements were taken every 15 minutes. Temperatures of 105°C-120°C were obtained in the cooker without the pan of water. The first enhancement was to place a black steel plate under the pan. As this showed a marked increase in performance, it was used for all further tests, which were: • Single glass sheet • Double glass sheet • Double Tedlar® plastic sheet The results for these tests are shown in Fig. 3. All glazings achieved the 80°C cooking threshold within 3 hours, with the black metal plate making about 7°C difference, which is an important increase at these temperatures. The single glazing, double glazing and double Tedlar® achieved the 80°C threshold at least an hour earlier than the double plastic and achieved maximum temperatures of about 15°C higher than double plastic. Tedlar® was chosen as it is durable at high temperatures and has low infrared transmissivity than polyethylene.

Cyclone Duo Splits Matches At ITA Regionals
NORMAN, Okla. – The Iowa State duo of Samantha Budai and Ksenia Pronina went 1-1 in action Friday at the ITA Regionals.
Budai and Pronina, who were playing together for the first time, got off to a hot start in defeating the Nebraska duo of Izabella Zgierska and Maike Zeppernick. The Cyclone duo opened up a 5-0 lead in the match and went on to win 8-3, becoming the first ISU tandem to advance at ITA Regionals since Maria Macedo and Simona Cacciuttolo in 2011-12.
Budai and Pronina were forced inside in the second-round match because of rain and ended up being eliminated from the tournament after dropping an 8-3 decision to Tulsa's Rongrong Leenabanchong and Maria Sant'Anna.
Because of the rain in the area, only doubles matches will be played today. Pronina will face Oklahoma's Whitney Ritchie in singles play Saturday.

America's Best Happy Hours
Itizy churns out small batches of high-quality ice cream in New York City using fresh cream from a local not-for-profit dairy cooperative. Fan favorites include Coffee Brownie, Mint Stracciatella, and Blueberry Mojito Sorbet. The Coffee Brownie ice cream is made with real coffee and features baked-from-scratch brownie crumbles, Mint Stracciatella has fresh mint leaves steeped in the cream base, and Blueberry Mojito is a refreshing sorbet full of blueberries, lime juice, mint, and a hint of rum. As if the mouthwatering flavors aren't reason enough to visit Itizy, the company donates one school meal to a child in need (thought the UN World Food Program) for every five scoops of ice cream sold.
Amanda Rhoads started Scoop Handmade Ice Cream after noticing the lack of freshly-made artisan ice cream in Portland. She was so passionate about the project that she learned how to make artisanal ice cream herself. Now the business boasts over 30 flavors, including Cake Batter, Irish Coffee, Salted Caramel, and Green Tea. And if you're craving something that hasn't yet been added to the menu, Scoop will work with you to make a unique flavor for special orders.

This was fun with salmon, the size of the coarse pieces are great for cooking. Use either a salt grinder or your mortar and pestle for the table.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - LeBron James finished just shy of a triple-double
and the Miami Heat extended Dallas' overtime struggles by posting a 119-109
victory over the slumping Mavericks at American Airlines Arena.
James tallied 32 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Heat to a
second consecutive triumph in extra time. Miami halted a two-game skid with a
112-110 overtime decision over Orlando on Monday.
Dwyane Wade added 27 points and 10 rebounds for the Heat, which began the
additional frame with a 7-0 run that eventually resulted in the Mavericks'
ninth consecutive overtime loss dating back to last season. Chris Bosh and Ray
Allen contributed 17 and 15 points, respectively, to the win.
Dallas was dealt its seventh setback in its last eight overall games as well,
despite 30 points from O.J. Mayo and a season-best performance from Dirk
Nowitzki in his sixth outing back from right knee surgery.
Nowitzki amassed 19 points and six rebounds in 29 minutes for Dallas, which
also received a 14-point, 10-rebound effort out of Chris Kaman.

We Americans love celebrating our country: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day. They're more than just a chance to throw a barbecue, they're an opportunity to honor those who lived and died for this nation, and a time to celebrate the privileges we have. But what is Flag Day? How did it come about, and why should we observe it?
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the Stars & Stripes as the first American flag, which took place June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. Not only was this a significant step in symbolizing the new, independent nation, it came about on the second anniversary of the birth of the Continental Army. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day. In observance, Americans across the country fly the flag all week–, National Flag Week– as a petition that we always remember the roots of our nation's history.
Instead of simply posting an American flag on a bracket above the garage, why not proudly fly it on a flag pole for all in the neighborhood to see? Harbor Freight carries both a 20 ft Telescoping Flag Pole Kit (95598)— able to carry two flags…
–and a 16 ft. Telescopic Flag Pole Kit (92901).
Both made by One Stop Gardens, they assemble and mount easily into the ground, and are made of sturdy, rust-proof aluminum.
This year, President Obama has signed a proclamation– as all our presidents have since 1949 and beyond– encouraging Americans to fly our flag proudly. We always do.

|3 Dragons join Senior All-State team
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Three Dragons suited up in their Holyoke High School baseball uniforms one last time for the Senior All-State baseball game at Bishop Machebeuf Baseball Field in Denver. Sunday, June 2. Players representing HHS are, pictured from left, Deyten Klein, Jesus Hermosillo and Jaydin Goldenstein.
The trio helped the 1-2A East and West team to a 3-2 win over 1-2A North and South. Goldenstein went 2-2 in his final high school game, hitting a home run and a double to score two of the team's three runs. Klein threw two innings, striking out three batters in the process, and Hermosillo was a solid backstop as catcher for four innings.

Careers In Business
A broad-based undergraduate program in the liberal arts is one of the most satisfactory preparations for graduate study in business administration and management, and large numbers of Denison graduates continue their studies in programs across the country. Although the current national trend is to encourage students to work several years between their undergraduate and M.B.A. programs, Denison students can receive advice on preparing for business school.
If you are planning a career in business, you may be interested in earning a Masters in Business Administration (MBA), a Master in Management (MM), or a similar professional degree. The purpose of an MBA education is to provide training in the theory and practice of business management. Professional management programs are based on the premise that people can learn to manage all types of business situations more effectively.
Liberal Arts & Business Management
As a liberal arts graduate you may find that you lack the administrative skills for immediate on-the-job application. Earning an MBA (or MM, MPA, etc.) may help you to acquire these skills. A liberal arts degree provides an excellent background for most graduate study, including that leading to an MBA. As a manager of people, money, natural resources, non-profit institutions or businesses, you will find that the skills you have acquired in a liberal arts curriculum will serve as an excellent foundation for future professional training. Most professional business schools will provide the training necessary to develop a career in accounting, finance, human-resource management, management consulting, management information systems, manufacturing, marketing, operations management, entrepreneurial ventures, small business, and even careers outside business: government, education, health care, arts management, and not-for-profit agencies.
Pre-Requisites for Business School
People from all fields earn the MBA degree. In 1999-05 nearly half of those taking the Graduate Management Admissions Test across the country were majors in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. While no major is specified for business school admissions, an ability to deal effectively with Mathematics is essential in most MBA programs. Most professional schools of business or management offer quantitative courses, which often require a background in calculus. In addition, statistics and operations research courses may be offered or required.
When to go to Business School
Most business schools advise the graduating senior to enter the work force immediately to gain experience before going to business school. The advantages are that you will have had at least one entry-level experience in a business/management environment which will give you more clear focus on your goals within the broad range of special management fields. As well, you will both contribute more to and gain more from the Case-Study Method which is widely used in B-schools.
Employer Funding of the Part-Time MBA
Many employers will provide tuition remission (80-100%) if you are willing to continue working for them while you work part-time on an MBA. Most MBA programs can be completed 1-2 years full-time or 3-4 years part-time. The advantage for part-timers is that you gain valuable work experience with no interruption in income and will incur little debt if you are supported by your employer. Obviously, working full-time while you are simultaneously working toward a degree requires excellent time-management and commitment.
Graduate Management Admission Test
The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is required for admission to business school. Test dates (and regular registration deadlines) are offered year-round in hundreds of locations by appointment. Call a test center to schedule a test date.
Call 1-800-GMAT-NOW for the nearest computer-based testing site, or 1-609-771-7780 if you need testing for an accommodation.
The four-hour test measures general cognitive skills and abilities, not content areas. The various sections are:
- Reading Comprehension
- Critical Reasoning
- Data Sufficiency
- Problem Solving
- Sentence Correction
- Analytical Writing
Preparation for the GMAT
Denison has a new resource through the Ohio link library that has three free, timed practice exams for the LSAT, GRE, GMAT and MCAT— Learning Express Library.
- An online practice test in the various categories, just like the official exams
- Instant online score and detailed answer explanations
- A personalized analysis that identifies your strengths and weaknesses so you'll know how to prepare.
Self-Study guides published by the Graduate Management Admission Council as well as by commercial groups are available for you to use while preparing for the GMAT. In addition, commercial test preparation groups such as KAPLAN, Veritas, The Economist , Manhattan and The Princeton Review offer GMAT Prep Courses. Complete online GMAT practice assessments and receive a detailed analysis of mistakes, plus tips for improving performance using this FREE resource.
Visit KAPLAN and The Princeton Review for more information about GMAT preparation courses.
The Application Process
To apply to business school, you will need to complete on-line applications or send away for applications for individual schools, since there is not a general application service for business schools. Applications ask for demographic information, academic transcripts, GMAT scores, and statement of intent. Additionally, applications request confidential letters of recommendation from faculty and previous employers. Career Services offers a Credential Service to assist you in gathering and keeping such letters on file for 5 years and will distribute them to business schools at your request.
MBA Catalogues & Other Resources
To learn more about MBA programs across the country, come to Career Services Resource Library and peruse The Official Guide to MBA Programs published by the Graduate Management Admission Council. You might find a booklet called "MBA: Q & A" to be particularly helpful.
Alumni are also wonderful resources of information. Use the Mentoring Directory in DenisonEverywhere to network with alumni who are willing to share information about various business schools and advice about their careers in business and management.

STEUBENVILLE - The man featured in an Internet video making callous comments about an alleged rape victim is ashamed and embarrassed of his behavior, and the negative attention he subsequently received forced him to withdraw from college, according to attorney Dennis McNamara.
The man was absent from a press conference McNamara held Monday at the Best Western in Steubenville. The Columbus lawyer addressed the video and the backlash his client and his client's family received after its release, as well as the young man's character and culpability in the alleged crime.
The video was made on the night of the alleged rape, McNamara said, but not at the home where the crimes occurred and the young man did not witness the acts. His client did not know the 16-year-old alleged victim prior to the crime, either, McNamara said.
Article Photos
The 18-year-old and the girl were among those attending an unsupervised party on the night of the alleged crime. Both were drinking alcohol and became intoxicated, according to McNamara. His client left the home later that night and was momentarily at another residence with the girl before he arrived at the home where the video was made, McNamara added.
"Mike DeWine, the Ohio attorney general ... described (the video) as disgusting, and that's probably as good an adjective as any to use," McNamara said. "I think I would add disappointing, insensitive and unfortunate."
He said two juveniles who witnessed the alleged crime returned to the home where his client was and told him about what they allegedly had seen two 16-year-old Steubenville High School student-athletes do to the unconscious girl. McNamara's client, also a Steubenville High School graduate, then cracked jokes about the crime while another person filmed him with his cell phone.
"There's no excuse or justification for the comments and jokes (he) made on the video, and with some sober reflection, he is ashamed and embarrassed to hear them himself," McNamara said. "He sincerely regrets his behavior and his comments and the effect that it's had on all the parties involved, including his own family. He was not raised to act in this manner."
Steubenville police confiscated the young man's phone, and he answered all of the detectives' questions truthfully during an interview at police headquarters days after the alleged crime, McNamara said. He also does not believe the young man committed a crime by not reporting the alleged rape.
"I'm not here as an attorney in the sense of defending him," McNamara noted. "I'm just a spokesperson for his family. They didn't know who to call ... so they called and said, 'What do you suggest?'"
Through its Twitter account, the same forum the young man used to post insensitive remarks about the alleged crime, Ohio State University announced Monday that he is no longer a student at the school. McNamara said it was his client's decision to withdraw from the university due to the backlash against himself and his family.
Computer hackers broke into the man's university e-mail account, McNamara noted. Others were wandering the halls of his dorm looking for the man, he added. They also hijacked his parents' e-mail and cell phones, as well as his Twitter and Facebook accounts.
In the 12-minute video, the man laughs while cracking crude jokes and says the alleged victim is "deader than" Caylee Anthony and O.J. Simpson's wife, among others. Witnesses testified that the girl was intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness.
The video reportedly was posted to YouTube on the same night or shortly after the alleged crime occurred in August. It was quickly removed before it was again uploaded it to the video sharing website last week and attracted national attention.

Eye shadow is arguably one of the most exciting types of makeup based on the sheer number of colors, blending possibilities, special textures, and effects. Depending on your eye color, you can find shades of eye shadow that complement your eyes and really give your whole appearance a lovely look. Also, the texture of eye shadow products can range from powder to cream to matte finish to a bit of sparkle. You can experiment with different eye shadow colors and textures to ensure you find the best match for your eyes and the look you want to achieve. Be sure to invest in a good makeup brush so you can blend the eye shadow or even mix colors if desired.
The Illuminare Cosmetics Eye Shadow collection is a line of dermatologist recommended eye makeup products available in a variety of colors. As the first liquid mineral version of eye makeup, Illuminare Cosmetics Eye Shadow reduces the messiness and fuss involved with applying traditional eye shadow. These creamy eye shadows contain SPF 15 and can also serve as eye liner or help to fill in or color eyebrows if needed. The Illuminare Cosmetics Eye Shadow lineup features a nice array of coffee-themed hues.
Mineral eye makeup often makes a great choice due to its gentle composition, sun protection properties, and ease of application. Mineral makeup like the Illuminare Cosmetics Eye Shadow line gives great flexibility in blending and application while offering many other benefits as well. Pretty nude and brown hues look great with just about any complexion, eye color, and hair color. Consider adding mineral eye makeup products like Illuminare Cosmetics Eye Shadow to your makeup bag for a fresh new look.
The Illuminare All Day Eye Color Cafe Americano product is a semi-matte cream eye shadow that is crease-proof and contains SPF 15 for UVA / UVB sun protection. This eye color product lasts throughout the day and blends onto the sensitive skin around the eyes quickly and easily. Simply use your fingertip or a makeup brush suitable for eye color to apply these creamy eye colors to your eyelids. This color is a medium to dark brown tone that can also be used as eyeliner or brow filler.
The Illuminare All Day Eye Color Cafe Latte product offers an additional bonus in addition to the benefits akin to all Illuminare eye color products. This warm nude tone works as an effective eye shadow base that also dresses up eyes with a neutral glow. These mineral eye color products are crease resistant, water resistant, and smudge proof, as well as being safe for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes.
The Illuminare All Day Eye Color Mocha Cinnamon shadow gives off a warm milk chocolate hue that looks beautiful with many skin tones. Like the other colors in the Illuminare eye collection, this product is crease-proof and suitable even for sensitive eyes.

Opening Leg of Tailgate Tour a Success
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The 2008 Cyclone Tailgate Tour opened with a bang in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday evening as more than 1,700 Cyclone fans gathered at Lindale Mall for the opening leg of the second annual tour. Iowa State athletics director Jamie Pollard opened the event by bringing the children in the crowd to the front and joining them in the proclamation that this is a "Cyclone State."
"The most important people to us are the children because they are our future," said Pollard. "I want you all to go back to your parents, give them a hug and thank them for raising you as a Cyclone."
The children received a goodie bag from the spirit squad and Pollard announced that all Lil' Clone Club members will be able to go on the field and form the tunnel as the football team enters the field for the Kent State game.
Pollard praised the crowd, which for the second year set the bar high for the tour.
"Last year, you set the benchmark at this site because you showed what it means to be a member of the Cyclone family."
The Cyclones were represented at the event by numerous head coaches and staff. The group included head football coach Gene Chizik, men's basketball coach Greg McDermott, women's basketball coach Bill Fennely, wrestling coach Cael Sanderson, volleyball coach Christy Johnson, soccer coach Wendy Dillinger and tennis coach Michelle Conlon.
The ISU contingent visited the Boys' and Girls' Club of Cedar Rapids prior to heading to mall for the second time in as many years.
The event featured interactive games and inflatable attractions for children, auctions and the opportunity to purchase Cyclone merchandise. Fans also had a chance to get a first-hand glimpse of the new football jerseys as well as the opportunity to pose for pictures with the Hy-Vee Cy-Hawk Trophy and the Big 12 Wrestling Championship Trophy.
The evening also included the opportunity to meet a number of ISU student-athletes, including football players Ben Lamaak, Austen Arnaud, Zac Sandvig, Alex Sandvig, Matt Hulbert and Mike O'Connell. Bryan Petersen, Lucca Staiger and Alex Thompson represented the men's basketball team at the tailgate. Cedar Rapids native and ISU volleyballer Rachel Williams also mingled with the crowd, which lined up to get autographs and meet the student-athletes and coaches.
The Cyclone Tailgate Tour continues Thursday as it hits the Quad Cities. The party of Iowa State coaches, Cy and athletics department staff will visit Hayes Elementary School, the Handicapped Center and the Friendly House in Davenport before heading to Mel Foster Realty, 2300 Spruce Hills Drive, Cumberland Square in Bettendorf. The location was altered after flooding on the Davenport riverfront. ISU student-athletes and the spirit squad will meet the coaches and staff at Mel Foster Realty for the 5 p.m. tailgate event.

The Outfield Experience
Today ATH went on a tour of Kauffman Stadium. It was chilly but the conditions were right for a walk through the new outfield experience. After the renovations are complete, fans will be able to get a 360 degree feel for the stadium by visiting this area.
We start our tour on the third base side. You've parked your car, and now you're walking towards our camera on the new concrete path (left). Once inside, you take a few minutes to check out the Royals Hall of Fame (right).
After visiting the Hall of Fame, you take a few minutes to watch batting practice from this angle. Then, you proceed on to the outside bar which sits atop the old JumboTron pad.
Next, it's on to the new Little K, which is much larger than its predecessor. After the kids hit a few home runs, you move on to right center and pause for another look at the field from a view that's new to you.
Your walk takes you to the new restaurant and sports bar in right field. Once inside, you can take a look at the field or watch some of the Royals pregame show on Fox Sports Kansas City, all while dining on great food.
Those are just a few of the features of the outfield experience. Our next post will include pictures taken from the rooftop of the right field restaurant — it's a spectacular view, so check back!
