Right now my hair looks kind of ok but it's getting thinner and thinner every day, under a bright light it looks really bad.
Obviously I'm really depressed about it, but a few days ago my girlfriend said something that made me feel even worse; she was joking about some guy we know who's completely bald, about how shiny his head is and how she finds it really attractive (she was being cynical).
That remark made me feel really bad about my hair loss, cause she probably doesn't realize that I'm losing my hair so she didn't try to hide the way she feels about bald men.
I feel like when my hairloss will eventually become noticeable I'll be placing her in an uncomfortable situation, being a 19 years old dating a 22 years old whose losing his hair, you're not supposed to be losing you're hair at that age! you're supposed to be young and beautiful!
So basically I'm asking for advice about how to go through hairloss with a girlfriend who doesn't like bald men.

Art Incend, Carve on the Quad and Safe Treat are collaborative efforts between several departments at UWG. All events are free and the community is invited to enjoy a week of iron pours, sculpture, pumpkins and treats.

The week begins on Friday, Oct. 24, with a Department of Art student and community artist event that will begin sculpture and 3-D Composition projects that require round-the-clock lighting and firing of the wood kiln for iron pours.
The wood kiln will be kept lit throughout the week by rotating shifts with finished projects on display Oct. 30.
Other Oct. 30 activities include an all day bring-your-own-pumpkin carving from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the Quad. Guests are asked to bring their own tools.
Lighting of the pumpkins begin at 6 p.m. as well as Art Incend closing events, awards and costume contests.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
NeNe Leakes and Phaedra Parks Make Cameos: Recap of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5, Episode 14
It's time for our weekly dose of insanity — here's what went down with Phaedra Parks and NeNe Leakes on Season 5, Episode 14 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Let's do this!
Rehashing the Donkey Debate
It was a slow night for two of our funnier Housewives, but they certainly had their moments.
First up, Phaedra visited Kandi to discuss the hot mess that was Kenya Moore the week before. Phaedra took the booty-baring impersonation as a form of flattery. "She just wants to be Donkeylicious," she explained, before pointing out that Kenya has a Home Depot booty instead.
OK, now what the hell is that?
Meanwhile on the West Coast, NeNe struggled with cell reception in the Hollywood Hills. Yeah, maybe that plotline was less exciting...
Do you want to see more of Phaedra and NeNe next week, or do you think the other gals are more exciting? Tell us below!

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- Six former student-athletes and one
athletic administrator have been selected for induction into the
Butler University Athletic Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame
Class of 2012 will be formally inducted at a dinner/ceremony on the
Butler campus during the weekend of Sept. 28-29.
Chosen for induction this year as Butler's 22nd Hall of Fame Class are former student-athletes Clyde McEntire (golf, 1946-50), Norm Ellenberger (football, basketball, baseball, 1951-55), Lynn Schreiber Wallace (basketball, tennis 1975-79), Chuck Orban (football, 1987-91), Beth Christiansen Hutson (1987-91) and Fraser Thompson (track, cross country, 2000). Also selected as a Special Service Award recipient was Butler Associate Athletic Director for Communication Jim McGrath.
McEntire was a dominant performer on the golf team at Butler during his four seasons with the Bulldogs. He helped lead Butler to a four-year 30-11-2 record, including a pair of Little State titles and four runner-up finishes in the Mid-American Conference. He captured medalist honors in the MAC three times, the only player in the first 25 years of the league to accomplish that feat. McEntire shot a Butler record 66 in the second round of the 1950 MAC Championship and finished the tournament with a league- and school-record 133. Both marks still stand today.
Ellenberger was a three-sport athlete at Butler from 1951 to 1954. He was a team captain and all-conference player on Butler's football team, a two-year varsity letterwinner under Hall of Fame coach Paul D. "Tony" Hinkle on the Bulldogs' basketball squad and a two-time all-conference performer on Butler's baseball teams. He pitched one of five no-hitters in Butler baseball history, and he was named the Indiana Collegiate Conference Baseball Most Outstanding Player in 1954. The multi-sport athlete received Butler's Andy Williams Award as a senior. Ellenberger went on to a lengthy basketball coaching career that included positions as head coach at Monmouth and New Mexico and as assistant coach at UTEP and Indiana. He coached in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls and currently is an assistant coach in the WNBA with the New York Liberty.
Wallace (Schreiber) ruled the courts at Butler for four seasons. She played No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles on Butler's tennis teams for four years, and she helped the Bulldogs to a four-year record of 31-11, including a sixth place finish in the state in 1978. She also was a four-year starter in basketball, helping Butler to an unbeaten regular season, a state championship and a trip to the AIAW Regionals in 1978-79. She averaged 15.2 points as a junior and 9.5 points as a senior. Butler women's basketball coach Linda Mason said of Wallace after her senior season, "Lynn's the Johnny Bench of our basketball team. Everyone expects her to do a good job, so when she does it, no one notices."
Orban became the most prolific linebacker in Butler football history during his four seasons of stalking opposing ball-carriers. He was a three-time, first team All-Conference performer, a two-time Butler Defensive Most Valuable Player, the 1989 Heartland Collegiate Conference Defensive Player of the Year and a 1989 third team All-American. The former Indianapolis Chatard High School All-State player led Butler in tackles in each of his final three seasons, and he finished his career with 11 Butler defensive records. He still owns most of Butler's records for tackles, including 181 total tackles in 1990 and 487 career tackles.
Hutson (Christiansen) helped lead Butler to four consecutive conference volleyball championships and the best single season record (29-7 in 1988) in school history. The talented middle hitter was a three-time all-conference performer, Butler's Most Outstanding Offensive Player (1987) and Co-Most Valuable Player (1990), and a Co-Player of the Year in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (1990). She set a host of school and conference records during her four seasons, finishing her final campaign in second place on Butler's all-time lists for hitting percentage, service aces, block assists and total blocks. An Academic All-American and a recipient of a 1991 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, Hutson became just the second female athlete from Butler to receive the MCC's Cecil N. Coleman Medal of Honor for outstanding achievement in athletics, academics and extracurricular activities.
Thompson, one of the top distance runners ever to compete at Butler, earned All-America recognition in both track and cross country. He was named a 2000 NCAA Cross Country All-American after placing 14th at the NCAA Men's Cross Country Championship, and he earned track All-America honors with a seventh place finish in the 5,000 meter run at the 2000 NCAA Track and Field Championship. His finish at the NCAA Track Championship produced Butler's first national meet points in more than half a century! He was a Midwestern Collegiate Conference champion and all-conference performer in both track and cross country, and he received the MCC's Coleman Medal of Honor in 2001. The Melbourne, Australia, native capped his Butler career by receiving a Rhodes Scholarship in 2001.
McGrath has served as Butler's Sports Information Director for more than three decades. Since joining the Bulldogs in 1981, he has handled media relations for more than 2,000 Butler athletic events. He has served as host SID for four men's and one women's NCAA Final Four and for regional rounds of nine additional NCAA Tournaments. The former Augustana (Ill.) College SID was a press officer for the U. S. Olympic Committee at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis and for three national Olympic Festivals, and he's worked in press operations at amateur national championships in boxing, swimming and track and field. He currently serves on the NCAA Final Four Media Coordination staff and on the NCAA Championships Advisory Committee.
The Butler Hall of Fame was created in 1991 to provide a forum in which those who have brought honor and respect to Butler University and its athletic program could be acknowledged and permanently enshrined in Hinkle Fieldhouse. Inductees have made exceptional contributions to the prestige of the University in the field of athletics, and continued to demonstrate in their lives the values imparted by athletics. The Hall of Fame enshrinement wall is located at the front entrance to Hinkle Fieldhouse.

If New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly were trying during an April 25 news conference to reassure the public that the city's security infrastructure was tight enough to stave off a terrorist attack, they weren't doing a very good job of it.

Scott - do you really count running in a 5K in Merrick as an act of bravery and defiance against terrorism? Come back to earth. Think about all of the people who for 20 years or more have been commuting every day on the LIRR through Penn Station and then on the subway to work in offices in the Empire State Building, the Federal Building and Wall Street. That isn't heroic either, but it does take fortitude.

This page provides late-breaking or other information about Windows Movie Maker 2012.
Windows Movie Maker and Windows Photo Gallery must be installed together because they share many features.
If you have an earlier edition of either Movie Maker or Photo Gallery installed on your PC, you'll have both programs installed after you upgrade to the new editions.
Movie Maker can't start if it's installed on an edition of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 that doesn't include Windows Media Player. Go to the Get Windows Media Player webpage to get Windows 7 with Windows Media Player. To resolve this issue for a Windows 8.1 N Edition operating system, go to the Microsoft Download Center to install the Media Feature Pack for all Windows 8.1 N and KN editions.
Movie Maker makes extensive use of your video card's GPU (graphics processing unit). PCs with video cards not intended for high-end graphics usage or older cards might encounter problems rendering video and effects in Movie Maker. To resolve this issue, update your graphics driver. Run Windows Update and see if there are any updated drivers before continuing. If there aren't any updates and you're still having problems, try installing drivers directly from NVIDIA, Intel, or ATI/AMD:
NVIDIA publically released drivers
ATI/AMD publicly released drivers
Intel publicly released drivers
On PCs running Windows 7, Movie Maker may not start if your video card doesn't have DirectX 10 capabilities. If you see error c945000e, "Sorry, Movie Maker can't start. Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements before trying to start Movie Maker again, and then try to update the driver for your video card if Movie Maker still doesn't start," go to the Microsoft support webpage to install an update to Direct3D for DirectX 9 video cards.
On PCs running Windows 8.1, graphics hardware without dedicated drivers (i.e., adapters appearing as the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter) might limit performance of Movie Maker.
If you speed up video beyond a factor of 4, audio is automatically muted.
Previous custom settings for saving movies (Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 or earlier .prx custom settings) aren't compatible with Windows Movie Maker 2012 and will need to be recreated.
The video stabilization feature is only available on Windows 8.1.
The Prepare files for saving option in the Options dialog is only available on Windows 8.1.
The Burn to DVD option is only available on Windows 7. It will only appear if Windows DVD Maker is installed.
MPEG-2 format video isn't supported by default on Windows 8.1. It is supported in Windows 8.1 Pro with Windows Media Center. If you're running Windows 8.1 and you want to use MPEG-2 format videos, you should upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro with Windows Media Center, or install a third-party MPEG-2 video decoder solution.
MPEG-2 format video isn't supported by default on Windows Server 2012. If you're running Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 and you want to use MPEG-2 format videos, you should install a third-party MPEG-2 video decoder solution.
Additional setup steps are required to successfully launch Movie Maker on Windows Server 2012. After successfully installing Essentials on a server operating system, you may find that Movie Maker will still fail to launch successfully. To resolve this issue on Windows Server 2012, please install the following server components:
Server feature Media Foundation
Server feature User interface and infrastructure and Desktop Experience
Installing the Desktop Experience Pack also forces installation of the Ink and Handwriting Services feature.

Bell's Planet Series, inspired by music of Gustav Holst, will debut in August
In the same tradition as our Batch and Wheat Series,' we are proud to announce The Planet Series.
It will feature seven different beers each inspired by a different piece of music from the composer Gustav Holst. Each beer will be limited and released both in six-packs and on draft according to the arrangement of Holst's composition across all areas we distribute to.
The first Planet beer will be released this August with each successive entry debuting about every two months after. The final beer is scheduled for release in July 2015.
"Our two most successful brands come from a couple of my great literary references. This time, I took inspiration from a great piece of music," said Larry Bell, Bell's President and Founder.
"This piece, being in seven movements, gives us a lot of freedom to innovate and create," he added.
Holst conceived the idea for "The Planets" in 1913 with the first complete performance occurring in 1920. Each movement of the suite is named after a different planet and its corresponding astrological character
The lineup:
"Mars, The Bringer of War" – Double IPA
"Venus, The Bringer of Peace" – A Blonde Ale brewed with honey, apricot, vanilla and cardamom
"Mercury, The Winged Messenger" – A Belgian Single
"Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity" – A malt forward Brown Ale
"Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age" – A Bourbon Barrel-aged Barleywine
"Uranus, The Magician" – Black Double IPA
"Neptune, The Mystic" – A beer inspired by Dr. Bell's Medicinal Stout, one of Larry Bell's homebrews that also helped inspire Eccentric Ale
More information will be released as it becomes available.

Healthcare | HHS nominee Kathleen Sebelius' record in Kansas shows aggressive support for abortion and bigger government
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is a Roman Catholic. She says that abortion is morally unacceptable. And in April 2007, she hosted a reception for notorious late-term abortionist George Tiller of Wichita at her official residence.
This disconnect took on national significance on March 2, when President Barack Obama nominated Sebelius to head the Department of Health and Human Services. If confirmed by the Senate, Sebelius will direct a massive federal agency that employs nearly 65,000 workers and oversaw more than $700 billion in spending last year. While tasked with implementing statutory law, she will also be able to put her stamp on the president's agenda through the department's regulatory powers.
What approach she may bring to the job is illuminated by her record back home.
In socially conservative Kansas the nation's abortion wars have spilled across the political terrain, and Sebelius has been intensely involved. Throughout her lengthy political career, she has steadfastly supported legal abortion.
As governor, she vetoed numerous pieces of pro-life legislation during six years in office. The most significant may have been last year's Comprehensive Abortion Reform Act, or CARA. Passed by large bipartisan majorities in both legislative chambers, the package would have strengthened the state's informed consent law, safeguarded against coerced abortions, and strengthened enforcement of existing late-term abortion restrictions. She also blocked abortion clinic licensing standards, late-term abortion reporting requirements, and a state matching grant program designed to assist pregnancy resource and adoption centers.
Sebelius launched her public career as a state representative (before winning two terms as the state's insurance commissioner). Over the course of four terms in the Kansas House, she opposed basic limitations on abortion by voting against parental consent and notification requirements, patient waiting periods, restrictions on post-viability abortions, and reporting requirements on the same. On at least one occasion, she voted in favor of state funding for abortion services.
The governor's relationship with Tiller and her efforts to protect other practitioners from legal scrutiny is another controversial hallmark of her time in office. By derailing requirements to report case information on late-term abortions, she made it more difficult for law enforcement officials to prosecute alleged violations of existing restrictions on the practice. Her court appointees have influenced the legal process toward a pro-abortion bias, and she even helped recruit political challengers to pro-life officials like former Attorney General Phill Kline. (After five years of legal wrangling, Tiller will finally face criminal trial later this month on 19 charges related to late-term abortion, about the same time confirmation hearings may commence for Sebelius.)
To observers like Michael Schuttloffel of the Kansas Catholic Conference, the governor's festive reception for Tiller says a lot about her personal feelings on abortion: "The back slapping and grinning between Sebelius and abortionists does not seem to indicate someone who is personally troubled by abortion." As a result of her actions on abortion, the local archbishop has instructed Sebelius not to present herself to receive communion.
Liberal groups like Catholics United have endorsed her confirmation and suggested that Sebelius is a moderate who has actually reduced the abortion rate in Kansas. As part of a larger crime package, the governor did sign a law criminalizing harm to an unborn child, and she once approved the state matching grant program for pregnancy resource centers-a program she had previously opposed and reversed her decision on the next year. Pro-lifers point to other political factors, like a veto-proof majority, that they say compelled her to support pro-life laws in a few isolated instances. "She has signed some pro-life bills, but only under the gun," says Mary Kay Culp of Kansans for Life. The organization notes that abortion rates were on the decline in Kansas preceding her tenure in office, and lowered nationally during the same period in question.
On other health-care issues, Sebelius eschewed reforms integrating consumer choice, market competition, and individual responsibility in favor of a larger role for the state government in directly providing care and coverage to Kansans. Her vision of increasing access to health care included expanding eligibility guidelines for the state children's health insurance program, or S-CHIP, up to 250 percent of the poverty level. Some analysts believe such changes expand the entitlement program into the middle class, establishing the government over parents as providers for their children and crowding out private insurance in the process. One lawmaker bristled at the expansion, pointing out that his own family would qualify for public benefits under the plan.
Sebelius signed programs into law providing dental coverage and anti-smoking counseling to poor pregnant women, but she failed in her attempt to impose a statewide indoor smoking ban. As insurance commissioner, she blocked a large insurance company merger, a move hailed by some consumer groups at the time and lauded by President Obama in his nomination announcement. She has stressed a link between education and health care, leveraging the widely accepted government obligation of providing education as a rationale for an expanded government role in providing health care. "Those children are better-prepared to learn as students when they enter a classroom," Sebelius said of S-CHIP enrollees in a blog entry for the Huffington Post website.
Administration supporters have cited the nominee's resumé of red state success as an indication of her bipartisan bona fides, and even the fact that her father was a Democratic governor and father-in-law was a Republican congressman. More difficult to establish are examples of substantial, principled compromise in the nominee's history. Her record is that of a strongly ideological liberal rather than a moderate who sought to develop consensus.
Once installed at HHS, Sebelius would have no shortage of opportunity to exercise her belief in an activist, liberal government. Decisions regarding federal funding of abortion are essentially under the control of Congress and the states, which manage Medicaid. However, one of Sebelius' first tasks might be to re-write the right-of-conscience regulations enacted by the outgoing Bush administration (see sidebar). President Obama has already signaled his intention to overturn the policy allowing doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel to avoid participating in procedures they deem morally objectionable, including abortion and perhaps some forms of artificial insemination and contraception. It will be up to the department to determine how broadly to apply the new rule and how aggressively to enforce it. Hospitals could be forced to fire such employees or risk losing critical federal funding streams.
Introducing Sebelius to the nation, Obama declared that his administration will be led by those "who push politics aside in favor of proven science, who eschew stale ideology for sound ideas and a focus on what works." It was the type of rhetoric used by Democrats in the past to dismiss moral concerns over issues like embryonic stem-cell research, various forms of fertility treatment, comprehensive sexual education programs, and provision of sexual health services to minors. With authority over a network of 11 sub-agencies and 300 programs across every manner of health research and service operation, Sebelius will be able to have an impact on every one of these areas.
Confirmation doesn't appear to be a problem for Sebelius. Her HHS bid immediately gained the support of at least two Republicans: home-state Senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts. The two senators released a statement congratulating Sebelius on the nomination, but Brownback declined requests for further comment. Pro-life groups were dismayed by the move, with the Family Research Council pulling out of Brownback's weekly "Values Action Team" meeting on Capitol Hill.
Concerned Women for America President Wendy Wright said she was "disappointed" in Brownback's endorsement but that conservatives' focus should remain on Sebelius. "I don't want this to be a Rush Limbaugh-Michael Steele," she said. "We are focused more on infighting and our opponents slip right by."

Your conscience or your job?
By Edward Lee Pitts
James Madison, the father of the Constitution, once wrote that "conscience is the most sacred of all property."
No one understands this better today than Texas primary care physician Michele Phillips, who was at a crossroads last summer: her conscience or her job.
Forced by officials at to prescribe medicine that Phillips morally objected to because of her religious beliefs, Phillips battled administrators for six months. She said providing birth control pills to unwed patients was outside of her comfort zone:
"Why should I be made to prescribe a medicine that I did not feel was appropriate? It is our basic right as physicians to practice medicine based on our religious and moral beliefs."
When the hospital denied Phillips' offer to refer the patients to other physicians and insisted that she had to prescribe the pills herself, Phillips, 46, finally resigned.
Phillips refused to disclose the name of the university hospital where she worked because she does not want her motives for leaving widely known: "If you have that on your record as a physician you have to explain that everywhere you go."
That is why Phillips was heartened when the outgoing Bush administration announced a new federal regulation to protect medical professionals who decline participation in health procedures they find ethically, morally, or religiously objectionable. The rule, which took effect the day Obama was inaugurated, required medical facilities to respond in writing that they are in compliance or risk losing federal funding. The victory was hailed by pro-life organizations around the country as protecting civil rights.
But this month the Department of Health and Human Services signaled its intention to rescind the regulation. The notice kicks off a 30-day public comment period that will surely see both sides of the debate pulling out all the stops in a battle that could have far-reaching consequences for the place of beliefs in medicine.
"Essentially you are stripping away the First Amendment rights of medical professionals," says David Stevens, head of the Christian Medical Association (CMA) with more than 15,000 members. "We don't think a health-care professional should be ethically neutered."
A new organization-Freedom2Care Coalition-also will fight the repeal.
Laws have been on the books for more than 30 years protecting the moral choices of health-care professionals. But some pro-life doctors felt increasing pressure to be complicit in providing medical services that went against their beliefs. A recent CMA survey found that 40 percent of its members have been pressured to violate their ethical standards, with nearly a quarter of those polled claiming they lost a position, promotion, or compensation as a result of their moral stances.
Sandy Christiansen, an obstetrician from Maryland, recalls 20 years ago as a medical resident being publicly reprimanded for refusing to participate in a late-term abortion of a baby who had been diagnosed with Down syndrome. "Not just my professionalism was called into question but my very character. If there is no moral compass, then how are decisions made? It's popular opinion and societal pressure."
Without protection, Christiansen fears pro-life medical students may be driven from careers in obstetrics: "When a country loses its moral compass, it is not a prescription for success."
But the Obama administration has argued that the new regulation goes too far. A White House statement reported by the Associated Press stresses that Obama "believes this issue requires a balance between the rights of providers and the health of women and their families, a balance that the last-minute Bush rule appears to upset."
If pro-life groups are able to overcome the rescission move, they still face legal challenges brought on by Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, and several states.

Western New England College to Become a University
Posted April 18, 2011
Western New England College has been awarded university status by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education. The College plans to change its name to Western New England University on July 1, 2011 – 60 years after it first adopted the Western New England name.
"The name university better reflects our growth, our diversity, our expanded graduate offerings, and our comprehensive nature," says Anthony S. Caprio, Western New England president. "The transition to University status will position Western New England to fulfill our potential as a regional and national leader."
While the name will change, President Caprio says the character of the institution will not. "We have no plans to sacrifice the personal attention provided to students, the collegial atmosphere on campus, or the flexibility that comes with being a relatively small institution," says Caprio. "The goal of the University's founders was to provide outstanding academic programs with a professional focus that prepare our graduates to become leaders in their fields and in their communities. That commitment will remain in place, stronger than ever."
In 2009, Western New England identified a change in status from "college" to "university" as one of the eight key directions outlined in its Strategic Plan for 2009-2018 and began taking steps in preparation for such a transition. This included the development of a second Ph.D. program, one in Engineering Management, to join the Ph.D. in Behavior Analysis.
Between now and July, Western New England staff will be working to make a myriad of changes to its Springfield campus, including updating signage and scores of publications to reflect the new name. The school will also be communicating with current students and alumni about the changes in store. "We want them to be excited about this new chapter in the institution's rich history," says Barbara A. Campanella, Vice President for Marketing and External Affairs. "Becoming Western New England University will signal to the world the depth and breadth of our academic offerings and increase the value of the diplomas of both existing and future alumni." Western New England will have dedicated pages on its website (www.wne.edu) to provide information about the process and answer questions that alumni may have.
Campanella says the name change will help Western New England draw students domestically and internationally. "It allows us to compete more effectively with many of our peer institutions in other states that have become universities and with which we share common student applicants," she says. "It also allows us to be more attractive to foreign students, given the different definition of 'college' outside the United States and the international perception that a 'university' represents the highest level of education possible."
Western New England was founded in 1919 as the Springfield Division of Northeastern College, known as Springfield-Northeastern. The Division was originally established to offer part-time educational opportunities for adult students in law, business, and accounting. In 1951, an autonomous charter was obtained to confer the degrees of Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Laws, and what was then called the Springfield Division of Northeastern University was renamed Western New England College. Today, Western New England offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees through its Schools of Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering, and Law. A new School of Pharmacy will enroll its inaugural class of 75 students in August.
Following the July 1 transition, Western New England University will be comprised of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Engineering, the College of Pharmacy, and the School of Law. The institution projects increasing undergraduate enrollment from its current level of 2,500 to approximately 3,000 over the next decade. Western New England also educates approximately 1,200 students in various graduate programs and the School of Law.

Far Hills, NJ (Sports Network) - Ellen Port, a five-time USGA champion, has
been selected to captain the 2014 United States Curtis Cup Team, the United
States Golf Association announced Wednesday.
"Ellen is one of the great USGA amateur champions of the modern era," said Dot
Paluck, chairman of the USGA Women's Committee. "She has well represented the
United States in past Curtis Cup matches, and we are proud to have her as
captain of the 2014 team."
Port won the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur four times and the USGA Senior Women's
Amateur last year. She joined two-time Curtis Cup captain Carol Semple
Thompson as the only two women to win both titles.
"It's an honor and privilege to serve the USGA, my future players and the game
that I've grown to love as the captain of the 2014 USA Curtis Cup Team," Port
said. "It's an added bonus to have the venue in my hometown, at a club that is
so rich in golf history and tradition."
The 2014 matches will take place at St. Louis Country Club from June 6-8.
Port, who lives in St. Louis, is an eight-time Missouri Women's Amateur
The competition, held every two years, pits a team of female amateurs from the
U.S. against one from Great Britain and Ireland.
Great Britain and Ireland rallied to win the 2012 Curtis Cup, 10 1/2 - 9 1/2
in Scotland. However, the United States leads the all-time series, 27-7-3.

I think Zimbra is generating spam and causes our ip to be black listed almost every day.
We are using Trend Miro Interscan for viruses and it forwards all mail to our Zimbra server, and all out going mail from Zimbra goes to the interscan server. That way we are scanning for viruses in and out.
The problem is that we are getting spam that is coming in and Zimbra replyes to the messages because the email don't exist. Then we get a reply back from what ever domain saying the email that we tried to send to doesn't exist.
At least that is what I think is happening as far as I can tell.
Does that make sense? How can I change the settings in Zimbra to not reply to emails that are coming to invalid addresses.
We get alot of emails for example to say firstname.lastname@example.com bob is not a valid email address. Zimbra replys that its not valid, and then we get emails back saying the other doesn't exist.
I have been looking at the settings in MTA and am wondering what would be the effect of checking
Client's IP address (reject_unknown_client)
Hostname in greeting (reject_unknow_client)
Sender's domain (reject_unknown_sender_somain)
All of which are unchecked.
Anti-Spam is enabled with 75/33
Thanks for any help

Well, I would like to say that I made a New Year's resolution that I would do a better job of keeping my blog updated, but I did not make any resolutions, but I will try. I am going into my 7th year of keeping this blog and have really enjoyed writing the blog and am glad that someone reads it.
Now for the current news; we have our nephew Reid and girlfriend Katie aboard for 10 days. Unfortunately we have had a spell of really high winds so we have not been able to go to some of the places we had planned, but we have explored some nice anchorages and snorkeled in some clear water with lots of fish. In Leinster Bay Hunter dove for conch and brought home four conch for dinner. I made curried conch and that was a first for Reid and Katie. From Leinster Bay we hiked across the island of St. John to Coral Bay and had breakfast at the donkey diner. We did a quick stop at Sopers Hole to check in to the British Virgin Islands and do laundry. At Norman Island we snorkeled at the caves and in Benures Bay. We also did a few hour hike on Norman Island which gave us impressive views of the Virgin Islands.
It is so much fun to share our lifestyle with friends and family. This is Reid's third visit to Arctic Tern and he knows how to help out and I am grateful to be relieved of some of my daily and other chores. Reid helped Hunter take down the wind generator for maintenance and that is a job I am not keen to do because the blades and the generator are quite heavy and very awkward to receive into the cockpit. Katie has become a professional mooring grabber
12/22/2012, Francis Bay, Virgin Islands National Park
At times the clear blue water boils with schools of tiny fish being chased by larger fish. When we came into the anchorage a few days ago I was in the bow getting ready to pick up the pendant for the mooring ball and a four foot barracuda was hanging in the shade of the mooring ball. I have not seen him since. A few times a day I am startled by sound of Pelicans diving so close to the boat that it sounds like some one just jumped in the water. This is not a wilderness anchorage; it is Francis Bay in Virgin Island National Park. There are many boats on mooring balls and the shoreline is dotted with tourists snorkeling and enjoying a perfect day at the beach. It is still lovely.
We have many friends in the mooring field, some we just met last night at an "End of the World" party and some like Chuck and Barb on Tusen Takk II, who we have known for years (5 ½ years). We have shared so many adventures with Chuck and Barb, from hiking in the Andes in Venezuela to a month off shore in the Venezuelan offshore islands. It is so nice to share this lovely place and holiday season with friends. We were delighted to see them come into the anchorage a few nights ago from a long day passage from St. Martin.
On Christmas Eve we plan to join the cruisers in a dingy raft up for cocktails and appetizers and perhaps Christmas carols. The big event on Christmas is the Christmas dinner at the Maho Bay Camp. Until then we will do our chores; today Hunter made an improvement on the water maker, he has been varnishing the cockpit, cleaning filters and is considering a toilet project. I have been stowing the stuff that accumulates in the aft berth in anticipation of guests, writing an article about coral and chasing rust on the stainless steel. We have been swimming everyday and today we both swam 1.3 miles in one hour. That is not a fast pace, but it feels good to swim.
12/15/2012, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas
Happy Holidays to family, friends and fans.
Yesterday we moved from Christmas Cove to Charlotte Amalie to see the lighted boat parade and holiday festivities. The waterfront area in Charlotte Amalie is usually filled with pale, pudgy passengers from cruise ships and sometimes as many as four large cruise ships arrive at the same time and disgorge thousands people mill around on the streets that are filled with shops selling stuff. You can buy diamonds, emeralds, cameras, watches, Belgian chocolate, linen or lace on these streets. Last night these very same streets were jammed with local folks eating and dancing. There were local pan bands, a blues band, local island music, delicious street food and not so delicious looking street food. There was also a parade of boats with holiday lights.
An historical note: We bought our boat seven years ago today.

This is not a blog about sailing. This is a blog about being part of a family.
My father had a stroke a few weeks ago. This was his third stoke and after his first stroke in 2005 the doctors felt that the stroke was due to taking Tamoxiphen after he was treated for breast cancer (yes, men do get breast cancer). Tamoxiphen predisposes older folks to strokes.
Dad made an incredible recovery after the first two strokes. He regained his speech with almost no slur; he was walking, and fought the loss of function of his left arm and hand. For seven years he worked hard to keep what he had left. He also took care of my mother whose mind has been dimming.
Dad is now working on walking and speaking clearly. I can understand him most of the time, but I usually know what he wants to say. Yes, it is heart breaking. There is nothing about being a kid that prepares you for aging parents.
This is a photo of Dad dancing with my beautiful sister, Louise.

We are resting comfortably in Christmas Bay, US Virgin Islands after a passage from St. Martin. We left the lagoon and went through the French side Bridge at 14:30. I did the pre-passage chores; stowed the loose things, put up the jack lines, filled the thermos with coffee and made passage sandwiches and snacks. We lifted the anchor at 17:30 and headed west to the Virgin Islands. The wind was very light and almost behind us, which is not a very favorable point of sail, especially in light winds. We knew that the winds would be light and behind us, but decided to take this less than perfect weather window because the forecast for the next few days was for the wind to die.
The sunset was very nice and we set the main sail and the jib a trimmed the sails and motor sailed for a while. We ended up motor sailing for most of the trip and taking down the main and trimming (fidgeting with) the jib all night. The swell was light from behind us, which made the ride a bit rolly. We passed through a few rainstorms, which gave us a lift in the wind and a fresh water wash. We arrived in the calm waters of the British Virgin Islands in the early morning. We checked into the United States by phone using our Local Boater Card and grabbed a mooring at Christmas Cove. We swam in the warm and clear water of Christmas Cove and rested. We will be here
Would love to follow in your wake one day...

We spent last night in the east side of Antigua in the Five Islands anchorage after checking out of Customs and Immigration in Jolly Harbor. It was one of those days when things just seemed not work. Our plan was to check out at English Harbor office and sail around to Jolly Harbor for a midnight departure. First the wifi in English Harbor was down so we could not do a last check on the weather forecast, the customs officer was not in and after waiting for an hour and the office filling with impatient captains we decided to check out at Jolly Harbor. We tried to pick up a mooring ball at Jolly, but they did not have pendants and the wifi (Hot hot) was still down. We checked out and dropped the mooring ball that we rigged and motored around the corner to the Five Islands anchorage. We had a really nice swim and at last there was wifi.
We intended to leave at 02:00 and arrive in Simpson's Bay before the 17:30 bridge opening. Hunter dropped off to sleep around 19:00 and I gave it a try about an hour later, but it just was not happening. The wind died and the boat lay sideways to the swell. We started rolling- just gentle class 3 rolls. I finally dropped off sometime about 22:30 and at 22:45 Hunter announced he was done with sleep for the night and let's go.
The winds were light so we motored sailed, but the passage was gentle and I was feeling pretty good. We had a nearly full moon. At sometime in the morning, Hunter realized that we might just make the 11:30 bridge opening. We added a few RPM and trimmed the sails. A rainsquall brushed by giving us some more wind and more speed (and a bit of a much needed wash-down) and it was nip and tuck. We were about 8 minutes late for the bridge. At 14:45 I heard an anchor chain coming up to see our neighbors motoring to the open bridge. We hailed the bridge tender and asked if he would hold open for a minute and he said the unscheduled opening would not wait. We really only intended to make the 17:30 bridge, so there was nothing lost and I have nothing to complain about. We are in our intended location, the water tank is full and the crew is happy.
We will stay here for a few days, rest up and do a few chores and look for a north wind to take us the US Virgin Islands.
It has taken me a few days to post this because we have no wifi on the boat.
My Dad is out of the hospital and in the rehab facility. My sister is with my parents now assessing the situation and helping the transition. Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers.

We have been on the move, sailing north for the last 10 days. We left Trinidad on November 13 and have been sailing part of each day since then. We are taking advantage of the very calm wind and seas before the winter weather pattern starts with strong winds from the north. Last year left Trinidad in late November and worked our way north between strong weather patterns. We did a lot of hiking and exploring and had a good time. This year we are taking a different approach.
It has been so easy to travel to islands that we are familiar with and hoist a yellow quarantine flag or go ashore and check in and out at the same time. We did stop in Grenada long enough to chat with our fisherman friends and share news. We also stopped in Le Marin, Martinique to buy some supplies (wine, cheese and a few other delicacies), Portsmouth, Dominica to speak with our friend and local boatman, Martin and Deshaies, Guadeloupe to check out of the French Islands. When we came ashore here in Antigua we were surprised to see so many local businesses still closed for the slow season. We have been told that things will pick up in a week or two. The seas and wind have been low so the passages have been quite pleasant. I have been reading and listening to podcasts.
A few days ago, while at the north end of Martinique, I learned that my father had another stroke and as much as I wanted to just fly out and be with him and my Mom, I left the immediate family crisis to my sister and will go to Florida when we reach the Virgin Islands. It is very painful to not be there and able to help.
There is not enough wind to sail so we are enjoying two days to catch up on chores and do laundry. The telltale "foul towel" odor let us know that it was time (overdue) to do some laundry. I did laundry while Hunter disassembled the marine toilet for a dose of lubrication and then replaced a fan that had cracked blades.

I love Saturday mornings in Trinidad. I got up at 05:30 and had a cup of coffee and did the basic morning ablutions. By 06:25 I was on the main road waiting for my ride to the market. I had lots of small bills, my market bags and two lists; one for the fresh market and one for the grocery store.
The bus collects "yachties" at the boat yards and marinas and by 07:00 we are in front the Port of Spain market. We pile out of the van for an hour of combat marketing. My list is short because we are still in the boat yard "on the hard", which means no refrigeration. We still need to eat and I am desperate to get some fruit and vegetables. It is a bit of an art to buy the small stuff first to keep the weight down and then when you start buying the heavy stuff (pineapple, watermelon, oranges and onions) you need to protect your tomatoes, bananas and lettuce.
I am ready for breakfast and I always have a sada roti filled with various vegetables. Sada roti are like pita bread and today I have a whole-wheat sada with bagain choka (roasted eggplant), spinach and aloo (potatoes) with slight peppa. It is divine and I eat it in the van on the way to the grocery store.
More combat shopping... We have 30 minutes to shop and check out. I know the store and can find my items with a once through and be back at the van on time. We are a van load of pros; we have our market bags packed and organized and we are on time. I am back at the boat at 09:00 with fruit and vegetables to wash. It feels like noon! Maybe I will take a nap.

We are back in Trinidad getting our boat ready to go back in the water and we have a bit of work to do before launching. The first few days are always a bit overwhelming if you are doing most of the work yourself. Boat yards are inherently filthy, gritty dirty places, but this year the clean up was a bit worse than usual. We had the yard grind off 16 years of bottom paint and the very fine dust settled onto the topsides and hull and baked on for a few months. After lots of elbow grease, toilet bowl cleaner and a mild compounding wax we have a clean and shiny boat (mostly).
Inside the boat there is a bit of mess too. There are cans of paint on the floor of the salon, sails in bags hogging the aft cabin. A new windlass in the box is the aft head with engine mounts atop, as well as a bag of rags, the cleaning supplies for stainless and other odds and ends. We have rented bikes so our helmets and spare tires are floating about. Chaos, really.
The weather at this time of year is usually quite rainy, but we have been fortunate to hit a spell of fair weather. This little holiday from the rainy season (June through December) is called Petit Careme. It is hot, but it is easier to get work done without the rain.
Okay, back to sorting the inside chaos until the sun goes down and it is cool enough to work outside.

We are filling our landfills and oceans with single use water bottles. In 2007, Americans consumed over 50 billion single serve bottles of water; between 30 and 40 million single serve bottles went into landfills each year. Here is another disturbing fact; it takes 17 million barrels of oil per year to make all the plastic water bottles used in the U.S. alone. That's enough oil to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year.
I know that bottled water is a godsend for people living in countries with non potable tap water. I lived in Mexico for 6 months of 1977 and again in 1978 and would have loved to have access to bottled water. One of America's largest producer of bottled water uses tap water. Instead of buying the bottle, bring your multiuse bottle and fill up with tap or other good water. In the United States several University campuses and a few towns have banned the sale of single use water bottles. Recycling is not the answer. Much of the world does not recycle and the cost of recycling exceeds the value of the recycled product. Check out the Ban the Bottle website:http://www.banthebottle.net/

We have been doing a lot of bicycling and enjoying the hilly Berkshire Mountains. On Tuesdays we bike with a group called the Tuesday Play Group. The members are mostly retired folks who live in the area year round, and some are working folks who arrange to have Tuesdays off. On the weekend we get an email with the bike route and show up at the assigned place. Often there are over a dozen riders and we ride at our own pace and stop for lunch. Hunter and I are always in the first group of about 5 folks, but I am usually last in that line. My heavy hybrid bike is a lot to push up the hills and I decided to get my birthday present several months early. I bought a light road bike and I love it! It is light and fast! I have to learn a whole new suite of bicycle skills. The shifters are on the brakes and my feet are in bike shoes clipped into the pedals- got to be heads up at all times. I am having a great time and getting plenty of fresh air. They say you light up new portions of your brain when you learn a new sport.

We would not have missed this for anything. Our niece, Hunter Brooke Jackson was wed to Brandon Sabol this past weekend so we took a short road trip to Raleigh North Carolina for the wedding. Yes, this is the intrepid adventurer who twice visited us in Alaska and twice on Arctic Tern. Now she is starting the big adventure of marriage to a wonderful guy.
The wedding was great and everything went as planned. The dance floor was packed all night and we all had a great time

We are enjoying the summer in the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts (I finally learned how to spell Massachusetts!). On Tuesdays we bike with a group called the Tuesday Play Group and meet some where within 25 miles for here and take a 20+ mile bike ride. We bike though small towns, past fields bursting with corn, past cows and old barns and family farms.
It is blueberry and corn season and the farmers markets are over flowing with fresh produce. The other day we picked 10 ½ pounds of blueberries. Yum, blueberry cobbler.

This is not a sail blog, just a sailor's blog. We left Trinidad two weeks ago and flew directly to Fort Lauderdale to visit my parents. It is tough to watch parents get older and become limited in what they can do. My mother is wheelchair bound and has care attendants 12 hours a day. Dad is like a Timex; he keeps on ticking (remember that commercial?). Mom's care attendants are wonderful ladies who are kind and respectful to her and give her excellent care. Dad has not forgotten his wedding vows and spends most of each day with Mom. Dad had a list of chores for us that ranged from accessing a computer program to upholstering eight chairs with fabric that I had purchased in Trinidad. He was grateful for the help with his chores.
It feels like we have been away from the boat for more than two weeks. I am still overwhelmed by the selection of food in grocery stores and feel the luxury of long showers and unlimited ice cubes. Also, in the category of cheap luxuries is the ability to open the refrigerator door and look on shelves and see the stock of food. The efficient refrigerator that most of us have on sailboats is a chest type box that you have to hang over and reach into to obtain the food. There is no "shopping" in the fridge. The other luxury, yes this is a big luxury for us, is high speed internet.
We are enjoying bike riding in the hilly terrain of the Berkshire Mountains, doing many house chores and I am hoping to catch up on a few writing projects.
This is a photo of Dad on the 4th of July.

Trini's love to eat and their food represents the diverse cultures of the country. There is a strong East Indian influence since 40% or more of the population is of East Indian descent. Equal (more or less) amounts are of Creole/African descent. There is a bit of Chinese, British, Syrian and Lebanese influence in local foods as well.

We have been in Trinidad for about 10 days. We had a good passage from Grenada with wind for most the way and it was not too lumpy and bumpy. We decided to go to a marina to do some projects and prepare to haul the boat out of the water for a while. For most of the year we make our water with a watermaker that uses a desalination process and water must be used thoughtfully. Trinidad has plenty of water and it is free on the dock, so for me this is an opportunity to wash things that rarely see fresh water. When I was digging around for tote bags for carrying our stuff to the shower I noticed that the tote bags had a funky odor. The bags all went into the tub for a wash a rinse. In this photo the bags drying on the boat.
Today is Sunday, so the workers in the yacht services are not working, but the dock is buzzing with activity. Hunter is up the mast checking on a bulb, our neighbors are washing sails, someone else is varnishing wood and another person is dong a woodworking project. This a very international group with folks from: Denmark, Poland, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, Holland and the United States. I guess I better get back to boat chores...

I guess you could not use the excuse that you did not inhale.

We really enjoy having guests aboard our boat. We like to share our cruising life and the things that we think are special about the islands. We like to share the beautiful sunsets, the warm water with brightly colored fish, delicious local foods, hikes on the islands and our local friends.
We picked up Amy and Tom in Grenada and took the nice weather window to sail up to Carriacou. On the way to Carriacou we stopped at the underwater sculpture park (previous post). In Carriacou we took a walk and took the bus to Windward to look at the boatyard where the traditional Carriacou Sloops are built. We detoured to the Cowheel for lunch.
In this photo Amy and Tom are enjoying a refreshing swim in Upper Concord Falls in Grenada.
06/09/2012, Moliniere-Beausejour Marine Protected Area
We have passed the Moliniere-Beausejour Marine protected area on the leeward side of Grenada, just north of St. Georges, countless times and today we decided to explore the area. The dual attraction of the site is the protected marine area and the underwater sculptures by Jason de Caires Taylor. There are 65 sculptures and some tell bits of history of Grenada others are just art. The sculptures are made of rebar and concrete, which does not last all that well underwater but have provided substrate for corals and sponges. The water is warm and clear and small fish are abundant. The signature sculpture is called "Vicissitudes" which is a circle of 26 life-size children of diverse ethnic background, all holding hands and facing outwards.

Next time you go swimming at the beach, just know that you're swimming in a SEA of PEE. Although maybe if you get stung by a jellyfish that means you'll be instantly cured?
Almost two-thirds of people admit they pee in the water at the beach, according to a new survey.
62% of people have peed in the water . . . and 48% do it all the time.
One of the main reasons is . . . we all think the bathrooms at the beach are DISGUSTING.
The majority of people say there are NO bathrooms grosser than beach bathrooms . . . they beat out planes, the gym, and movie theater bathrooms.

we're all guaranteed signed copies right?
this'd be a much better movie than a book
i can play the little boy
named brad
The book comes first, and the movie is nearly inevitable
The child must have telekinesis.
the book has to come first so they can say "based off the best selling novel" in the preview
you are a marketing genius
yeah ESPEONS FURY geez >:(
The definiteion of 'weird but lovable'.
he is just lovable
if we wanted to make him weird, then we'd have him really love readig. and he would read to the illiterate inmates.
actually thats not a bad idea
Hey, I like it. I'll drop the whole telekinesis thing, I suppose. Now we need a name for the football team.
The Revolution
Okay let me get this all in one post...
A football team made up of escaped convicts come together under a former cop turned coach...the convicts are released from prison to play football (American Football,right?)...The night before the big game the main con finds out the coach/cop guy has cancer...so the cop/coach's son want's to be like him (without the cancer) and the main convict adopts him at his father's death...Wow...I need an autographed copy...write it now...
You've got it a bit mixed up. They aren't escaped, some are on parole and others are just on like some kind of work release like thing to play on the team, to help turn their lives around by learning how to get along in a group dynamic. They know the cop has cancer, they dedicated the entire season to him, no way they would've gotten to the big game if they didn't have that to fight for.
I can already smell the oscars
i will put 'thanks to pokemon dream, for fullfilling and relighting my love of novels' in the cover.
just one thing
what sport should it be
the main prisoner is the son of the cop who has cancer. he is jailed throughout the novel with complete isolation from society. he goes insane. however, when there is the final match, he finally pulls his senses together and he escapes from prison in the most intelligent way possible, and plots it mastermindly. however, he just wants to escape from prison so he can be with his dad, the policeman, and play the sport once again.
then, with his jail escape, they win the game but then they notice he is a prisoner. he has been convicted of a murder he didn't do, he only injured the victim and then he died because of someone else. the policemen come to get him and throw him back into prison, and then the policeman, who is cleansed at heart, shoots the other guy who has come to arrest him and throw him into prison. this is an extraordinary risk he has taken for his son, and it shows he loves his son more than the police force he has been obliged too.
then, the before last chapter is the most emotional thing in the world. the policeman and sport coach begins to die of cancer, and then the policeman tells him he loves him and is sorry for his crime, his lack of faith in his father. they hug, the policeman really puts his heart into every word he says to his father. the father gives a solemn speech, an ages long speech in a kind of poetic way. then he dies, and his son cries, and cries, and cries.
the last chapter is a resolve chapter. there is another court case, and the son is given a better lawyer to testify for him. the court case features one of the prisoners coming forward, who was on the sports team, pleading guilty to killing the man who the guy got arrested for killing. then his sentence is over, and he is free from prison. throughout the novel, there was a sweet little girl who was hinted as being neglected and not having a true father. the prisoner adopts her, and he teaches her sport and he loves her more than anyone in the world.
i actually love this idea. but soccer / basketball is the only sport i truly know, so you guys are going to have to help me if im going to apply football into this novel.
dammit hicky no one escapes from prision.
and his has to be football, hicky. obviously.
but it will work! seriously.
football would work but i need help if its going to be football because i know nothing about it
British football:P
no its not going to be fucking british football
this storys main characters will be hard prison inmates also large black men. it has the be football.
also, the star player has been in jail his whole life for stealing. he had bad parents and it was his only way to survive, and hes been in and out of jails since he was 11. he gets paroled right before the championship game(the big game he first saves the day in is held in the prison so he can go). one of the parole people is an old white guy who likes football. hes turned his life around thanks to the team so they are paroling him, and at the end of the hearing te white guy is like "I only have one more condition to grant this parole" and the guys like "Yes, sir ...?"
then it closes up on him "you give 'em hell out on that feild, son"
then you go to the game scene

COLLEGE PARK, Ga -- Four hours after a convenience store clerk was shot and killed, the same suspects tried to rob another store clerk, according to College Park Police. But the second time the clerk was behind bullet proof glass and the suspects fled when he called police.
The first attempted robbery happened at the BP gas station at 5097 West Fayetteville Rd. in College Park Saturday night. Two suspects walked into the store and ordered the clerk, Alagie Dibba, 28, to get down and put his hands over his head. But before Dibba could react one of the gunmen fired a shot and hit him in the stomach. Dibba died after being transported to the hospital.
RELATED STORY | Police hunt for teens who killed store clerk
Merely four hours later the same two suspects and a third suspect were captured on surveillance video at a BP gas station on State Highway 85 in Forest Park.
The video shows three suspects, including the same two suspects who tried to rob the College Park gas station. "Somebody shouted 'open the door'," said clerk Ashu Walia. Two of the suspects pointed guns at Walia who was inside a glass enclosed booth. "He was behind bullet proof glass and he never let them in," said Major Linda Burke of the College Park Police Department.
The suspects ran out of the store without getting any money. "Yeah, it was scary for the moment," Walia said. "When somebody points a gun toward you, even if you are behind the glass you get scared."
The killer in the College Park case was left handed and wore an "Aeropostale" hoodie. In the Forest Park case he turned the same jacket inside out. A second suspect wore what appears to be a letter jacket with light color sleeves.
In both cases, they failed to get any money. "We wonder what they're going to do next," said Maj. Burke. "It's a scary thought that even after they killed someone, four hours later they were attempting to rob somebody else."
College Park Police are hoping someone recognizes the suspects before they try to rob someone again. They are asking people to call their tip line at 404-768-8664.

DUMFRIES, Va. (WUSA9) -- On Wednesday, police responded to a domestic dispute on the 16300 block of Taconic Cir in Dumfries. The victim, a 26 year old woman of Dumfries, reported to police that she and Lamier Williamson, a known acquaintance, were involved in a verbal altercation that escalated.
During the encounter, Williamson grabbed a boxing glove and struck the victim numerous times to the face. At one point, the victim tried to flee and the accused shoved her to the ground where he continued to assault her, police say.
Eventually, the victim was able to leave the residence and call the police.
Authorities say minor injuries were reported. Williamson was arrested following the investigation.

The two best offensive stats are probably wOBA and wRC+
wOBA -wOBA is on the same scale as OBP.Weighted On-Base Average (wOBA) is based on a simple concept: not all hits are created equal. Batting average would have you believe they are, but think about it: whats more valuable, a single or a homerun?
wRC+ -wRC+ is on the same scale as OPS+Weighted Runs Creatd. This way, instead of looking at a players line and listing out all the details (e.g. 23 2B, 15 HR, 55 BB, 110 K, 19 SB, 5 CS), you could synthesize all the information into one metric and say, Player x was worth 24 runs to his team last year.
For pure power numbers HR's are still a fair way to measure at least IMO. Also ISO(Isolated Power) is a good one. All ISO is, is SLG%-AVG. So it subtracts all the singles included in average, and gives you an idea how many extra base hits a guy has.
SLG counts extra bases hits as "slugging" when really a triple is more likely the product of a fast player than a slugging player(these fast players can also leg out doubles).
Is there a way to know how much a players stats will decline with his BABIP? Mainly I'm talking Mike Carp. When his .391 BABIP finally starts to plummett (maybe not until next year?) is it a near 1:1 thing, or does it vary so much that you can really predict it?
In short, he's playing well over his head right now.
I just want some sort of hope that one young player on this team besides Ackley can be great

A few days ago, Jason Heyward's UZR was at like 2.0 and now it's at 9.2 so my question is:
Hopefully you all don't laugh me out of town here with my first question...
Is there a saber stat that accounts for situational hitting?
Meaning hitting with a man in scoring position in a close game is slightly different then hitting in the same situation when it's a blow out. Something that takes into account pitcher faced (ie scrub vs Ace), game importance (i know subjective).
"clutchiness" for lack of a better term.
Something that can accurately remove some of the players who are basically stat compilers and expose how they truly hit. (ie Arod / Teix / Swisher).
Thanks in advance!
Explanation here:
This is a weird question, but does anyone know about how many expected wins a team full of 0 WAR players would be expected to win. I'll admit I don't know a ton about advanced stats, but you always hear that so and so is 3 wins better than an average replacement player. So just for my curiosity, does anyone actually know the number of expected wins for a team full of 0 WAR players (and yes i realize this is completely hypothetical).
I just read through this entire thread. I have a lot of spare time on my hands right now so I figured I'd man up and get some of these statistics down.
Seemed like the main pitching stat to use back when this thread started was tRA, now it seems FIP might have taken over. Is that the case? If so, why?

Designed for the traveling angler who requires lightweight performance, the Rio Azul is our most packable H2No® Performance Standard waterproof/breathable wader.
Patagonia developed the 4-layer fabric construction for our waders to increase breathability and abrasion resistance, move moisture away from the body, and decrease the weight.
Our exterior fabrics are densely woven 100% polyester microfibers for durability and puncture resistance. On one side we apply our H2No® waterproof coating for waterproof/breathable performance. On the other side we apply a Hydrophilic laminate that pulls moisture away from the body so it can be passed out through the exterior shell.
To protect the hydrophilic laminate we use a soft polyester tricot lining that increases abrasion resistance yet maintains a soft, supple drape.
Finally, we apply a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment as the first line of defense in keeping these waders waterproof.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.
Below are the suppliers that impact the Patagonia Men's Rio Azul Waders - Regular
