This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Studying was a part of her nightly routine, especially in math and science classes.
Indian Creek High School salutatorian Elaine Dawson's grade-point average was more than 4.0 when she finished her last final this spring, but she laughs about idea of school coming at all easily. She studied and worked hard until her last assignment was turned in.
"I've spent countless hours on my schoolwork. I'm definitely one who spends time to make sure I learn (hard concepts the right way)."
Dawson was driven from the start of ninth grade, most recently earning top grades in what she considered some of her toughest classes: pre-calculus and trigonometry and AP biology and chemistry. She also did well in her English classes, which she said are her strongest.
She likes to kid about how close she was to taking the top spot from valedictorian Levi Brock. The two were at times nearly equal in their GPA, but she was far ahead of others in her class, she said. She was in fifth place freshman year in the class rankings, but continued pushing herself to work harder.
"I was confident, but not worried," she said, about her exact place in the class list.
Besides her inner drive to do well, Dawson also had plenty of motivation at home: Her parents, Kirk and Erin, pushed her to do her best in every subject, and they knew she could be a high achiever.
"A B+ wasn't acceptable," she said. "My parents always wanted me to do the best I can. I've always known it was important, especially for getting into college, but getting a good education really is a blessing."
Throughout her four years at Indian Creek, Dawson also participated in cross-country, band — where she played the trumpet — and National Honor Society.
Dawson describes her class ranking as a blessing, but not a necessity. The second-place slot did help with college admissions and earning a scholarship at the University of Indianapolis.
After exploring her options, she chose the nursing field because of the opportunities it offers and the number of positions that are available in any state she chooses. Dawson would like to pursue medical missionary work in the future.
Her faith also has played a role in helping her to achieve her ranking, she said. She often turned toward prayer when she felt discouraged. She credits her pastor, Ron Sodrel, among her mentors.
"Really, it's my No. 1 priority," she said of her spirituality. "I've grown a lot since I've been in high school."
Now, she has set an example in her household. Dawson's brother, Tucker, 16, a sophomore, and sister, Izzy, 15, a freshman, are also being pushed hard by their parents to do well.
"I've made it hard for them," Dawson said.

Health After 50
How to Soothe the Pain of Hemorrhoids
Common and often very painful, hemorrhoids are clusters of swollen veins in and around the anus and rectum. More than half of all Americans develop hemorrhoids by age 50, and men and women are at equal risk. In fact, the condition is so ubiquitous that hemorrhoid sufferers have their own patron saint, St. Fiacre.
Although the exact cause of hemorrhoids is not fully understood, they are thought to result from increased pressure on the veins in the anus or rectum. Hemorrhoids usually can be managed with lifestyle and self-care measures, but surgical removal is required in some cases.
There are two types of hemorrhoids: internal and external.
- Internal hemorrhoids are located in the lower portion of the rectum and cannot be seen from outside the rectum.
- External hemorrhoids are visible beneath the skin around the anus.
A number of factors increase the risk of hemorrhoids or can make them worse.
- Hemorrhoids are more common with age, peaking at around age 65.
- Hemorrhoids are also associated with obesity, pregnancy and childbirth, liver disease, prostate enlargement, chronic cough and diarrhea -- all of which can increase pressure on veins in the anus and rectum.
- Contrary to popular belief, heavy lifting, long periods of sitting and chronic constipation do not lead to hemorrhoids, although these factors can irritate existing hemorrhoids.
- Excessive rubbing or cleaning of the anal area also can irritate an existing condition.
If you have mild hemorrhoid symptoms, lifestyle and self-care measures are frequently effective. To treat constipation that can exacerbate symptoms, you should increase your fiber and fluid intake to make stools bulkier, softer and easier to pass. Also, you should not ignore the urge to have a bowel movement and should try not to strain when passing stool. Regular physical activity also may be helpful.
Although research has not shown that over-the-counter suppositories, ointments or hydrocortisone creams are effective in the treatment of hemorrhoids, many people report that they are beneficial. You may also get relief from pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.

I read that cayenne pepper helped stop bleeding. I used to have a problem after a long run with irritation & bleeding. You can put a half-tsp. into a small glass of water & drink it or use it on food. I found buying dark chocolate with cayenne pepper in it and eating a small piece everyday satisfied my chocolate craving and cured my hemorrhoid problem. I couldn't believe how well it worked. Don't know why. Maybe someone at Hopkins can study this.

I clean with Witch Hazel solution and then put on zinc oxide ointment, which appears to help more than the usually advertized ointments.

This winter's weather may be unpredictable, but we can expect some stability in the cost of natural gas delivered to homes and business. As the Pacific Northwest prepares for another cold and wet La Niña winter, natural gas customers can expect prices to remain stable due to a slower than expected economic recovery, increased supply and successful conservation efforts.
Northwest Natural Gas customers will see some relief in the form of lower gas prices. New rates went into effect Nov. 1 after the state Utilities and Transportation Commission approved the company's request to lower rates by 2 percent. This is the second year in a row that NWNG customers have seen a decrease. NWNG serves more than 61,000 residential customers and more than 5,000 commercial customers in Southwest Washington.
Natural gas companies are required to adjust their rates at least every 15 months to reflect the increasing or decreasing cost of purchasing the gas. This is called a Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment or PGA. The total cost of gas is passed directly to customers and the company is not allowed to earn a profit on it. Requiring natural gas companies to stay on top of price fluctuations through the regular PGA process is efficient and benefits customers by creating more immediate decreases in their rates when natural gas prices go down. Likewise, if prices begin to rise in the future, increases should be more incremental.
Take a look at your natural gas bill. If you are a NWNG residential customer using an average of 58 therms a month, you will see savings of about $1.51 a month from the recent rate decrease. The typical business customer using 257 therms a month will see a drop of approximately $6.36 a month. Two-thirds of your monthly bill can be attributed to the cost of natural gas. The remaining one-third is all about getting the natural gas to you. NWNG has almost 70,000 customers in Southwest Washington and thousands of miles of pipeline mains and smaller service lines. "Getting the natural gas to you" includes maintenance and inspection of NWNG's pipelines and administrative costs such as billing.
Broad impact
Why has the cost of natural gas dropped?
The slow economic recovery has a broader impact on energy prices than many people realize. In the short term, it affects all natural gas customers. Demand remains low from residential customers who are conserving energy to save money. Consumers buy fewer goods, and subsequently the demand for natural gas by commercial and industrial customers stays low. This contributes to keeping wholesale costs low.
Increased supply is another factor affecting gas prices. Natural gas is the largest source of home heating in the United States. In Washington, 39 percent of residents use it as their main heat supply. New technologies mean getting natural gas out of the ground is cheaper and easier. More is being produced; however, although natural gas consumption is expected to grow by 1.7 percent by the end of this year, demand hasn't caught up to the increased supply.
Typically, economic growth increases energy consumption. As the economy gains strength, an upward trend in gas prices is likely. However, consumers are incorporating conservation into their daily lives, for example: setting the thermostat to 68 F and the water heater to 120 F, and turning temperatures down at night and when nobody is home. Many are taking further steps by sealing drafty exterior doors and windows with caulking or weather-stripping, upgrading insulation and installing high-efficiency windows. This reduces energy loss and increases savings on your bill.
NWNG customers now also have access to cash incentives for energy savings at www.energytrust.org/washington. If we keep up our efforts to conserve and improve our energy efficiency as the economy recovers and natural gas prices fluctuate in the future, we will be better prepared to respond to those changes.
Both the weather and the economy can be unpredictable. As we prepare for another chilly Pacific Northwest winter, if we keep up our conservation and energy-efficiency efforts, at least we shouldn't have to brace ourselves to open the gas bill.
Jeffrey Goltz is chairman of the Utilities and Transportation Commission, the state agency charged with regulating private, investor-owned utilities in Washington.

House passes defense bill, rushes to adjournment
WASHINGTON The House voted Wednesday to pay for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and ensure the jobless don't lose their benefits, spearheading a flurry of legislative activity as lawmakers hurried to finish their work for the year.
On the last day of what has been a tumultuous year, the House also took action to prevent the government from defaulting on its mushrooming debt and voted for a $174 billion package to stimulate job growth through infrastructure projects, help for teachers and first responders, and extended safety nets for the unemployed.
The Senate, meanwhile, could be looking at another week of work as Democrats struggle to pass the health care overhaul bill and act on other must-do measures. It is expected to vote Friday or Saturday on the defense bill passed by the House.
The $636 billion Pentagon bill includes $128 billion to pay for the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan but leaves for later negotiations on how to pay for the 30,000 additional troops recently ordered to Afghanistan by President Barack Obama. It includes a 3.4 percent pay increase for service members.
The measure passed 395-34 with almost no debate. Defense measures generally enjoy wide bipartisan support, although this year Republicans objected to using the legislation as the base bill to which other less popular measures were attached.
Those included two-month extensions on several acts that are to expire at the end of the year. There is continued unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless, a 65 percent health insurance subsidy for the unemployed, highway and transit funding, three provisions of the anti-terror USA Patriot Act and an act that shields doctors from a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments.
Those short-term extensions, a result of the House and Senate failing to work out differences, will require Congress to revisit these issues in February and could spell trouble for the already crowded Democratic agenda. Democrats have said they want to devote the early days of next year to such critical issues as jobs, financial regulatory overhaul and a clean energy bill.
There was also grumbling on the usual inclusion of special projects requested by individual lawmakers. Taxpayers for Common Sense estimated that the bill contains 1,720 such projects worth $4.2 billion. One example was $960,000 for a sprinkler system for the Historic Fort Hamilton Community Club in New York City.
The minority party also sought to score political points on the need to raise the $12.1 trillion debt ceiling so the Treasury can continue borrowing, adding to the national debt.
Democrats had wanted to raise the ceiling to nearly $14 trillion so that Congress would not have to address the issue until after next year's election but ran into opposition from deficit hawks in their own party who wanted to tie the legislation to either creating a deficit-reduction task force or passing "pay-as-you-go" legislation requiring that increases in the deficit be offset by tax increases or budget cuts.
In the end, Democrats settled for a $290 billion increase that will keep the government solvent for six more weeks. It passed 218-214 without a single Republican "yes" vote.
The $174 billion jobs package passed 217-212, again without any Republican support. It includes $75 billion for highway and transit projects and school renovation and keeping teachers and firefighters on the job and $78 billion to further extend unemployment insurance and health care subsidies. About $75 billion comes from diverting money from the Wall Street bailout fund. The Senate won't consider the measure until next year.
The defense bill contains no money for new F-22 fighters, ceding to demands by Defense Secretary Robert Gates that Congress end funding for a plane that had its origins in the Cold War but is poorly suited for anti-insurgent battles in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also shuts down the much-criticized new presidential helicopter program.

First New York Docfest Set to Kick Off Tonight; "Kurt & Courtney"
Screening Added; Reknowned Doc-makers Set to Participate in Festival
by Eugene Hernandez
The first New York International Documentary Festival -- docfest -- kicks off
tonight at the Sony Lincoln Square on the Upper West Side, prior to moving over
to the DGA Theater on 57th Street for a four-day run. Tonight's opening night
screening of the Oscar-nominated film, "Fires of Kuwait", will be presented
by filmmaker Michael Moore ("The Big One", "Roger & Me"). Also, indieWIRE
has learned that festival organizers have added a special preview screening
of Nick Broomfield's latest film, "Kurt & Courtney". The Friday midnight
showing at the DGA will mark the film's first public showing in New York
City. It opens in Manhattan next month following successful runs in other
cities, and on the heels of being bumped from the 1998 Sundance Film
Festival as a result of alleged pressure from grunge-rocker turned actress
Courtney Love ("The People Vs. Larry Flynt").
Master documentarian D.A. Pennebaker ("The War Room", "Don't Look Back")
will be on hand this Sunday to host a seminar entitled, "Half a Century of
Documentary Making: Dialogues with Jean Rouch and Other docfest Directors."
Pennebaker will lead a discussion with groundbreaking verite filmmaker
Jean Rouch (on his 82nd birthday) in connection with the screening of
Rouch's landmark "Chronicle of a Summer" this Friday. Other docfest
filmmakers will join the discussion during the second half of the seminar.
On Saturday, Festival Program Director David Leitner will moderate a panel
discussion exploring the impact of new digital technologies on low-budget
doc-making. Entitled "Documentary Making in the Digital World", the
seminar will welcome individuals representating an array of new digital
tools, including digital editing systems, DVD distribution options, test
projections from the Sony High Definition Center, and sample showings
of film to video transfers. Two docfest films that were created utilizing
digital tools were Ulrike Koch's "The Saltman of Tibet", a Zeitgeist release
that debuts later this summer at Manhattan's Film Forum after having its
New York premiere on Friday night, and Bennett Miller's "The Cruise" which
debuted at the LAIFF and has its NYC bow on Saturday.
Five docfest films are U.S. Premieres, they are: Mark Daniels' Melvin Van
Peebles exploration, "The Running Man"; Paul Wilmshurst's gangster lawyer
exploration, "Mob Law"; Dmitri Falk's look at Cuban youth, "Midnight in
Cuba"; Maggie Hadleigh-West's Berlin-debut, "War Zone", and Susan Muska
and Greta Olafsdottir's anticipated, "Brandon Teena Story". Also, a
recently added Saturday event -- DOCBLAST -- will include a screening
of Einar Westerland's visual poem, INDIASONG and offer an ambient mix
by DJ Jacob Craycroft. The midnight celebration, which is presented with
KINOTEK and the FILM BYTES series will is open to all docfest attendees.
Finally, two awards will be presented at docfest: the Independent Film
Channel Documentary Vision Award to one participating docfest filmmaker,
the prize is a cash award in the amount of $2,000 and the Zuma Digital
DVD Award, allowing one docfest filmmaker (selected randomly by Michael
Moore) the opportunity to create one complete DVD of a film -- the prize
is valued at $15,000.
[For more information on docfest, call the festival hotline at 212/668-1575,
visit their website at:
<www.docfest.org>, or send an email message to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Those interested in guaranteeing admission to the DOCBLAST event should
RSVP to 212-332-9874. Doors open 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, at 600 Broadway
(Southeast Corner of Broadway and Houston) 6th Floor.]

XL20 Color Consistency Issue - Need Advice
I've recently purchased an XL20, calibrated it with Samsung's Natural Color Expert, and created a i1d2 color match monitor profile.
When viewing a white screeen I can see color variations where the top right is slightly greenish and towards the bottom left it is slightly pink.
I am going to return the monitor. The question is whether to try another XL20 or buy something different. Does anyone else, with an XL20, get similar color consistency problems?
Besides the NEC monitors, does anyone have other ones to recommend?

Alas it is departure day. We were up early this morning to accomplish our packing, took our showers, got dressed, called the bellhop for assistance and loaded up the car. Next we were on our way to the Grand Floridian for our final Disney meal. It has become a tradition for us to head to the Grand Floridian Café for our last breakfast on our last few trips. We always start our day with a Grand Mimosa (Champagne, Orange Juice and a touch of Grand Marnier, $9.75 ea).
Our servers name was Faith. She was from Massachusetts. She was a very pleasant young lady and a quite good server. We ordered coffee and glasses of water. Donna ordered Eggs Benedict - Two Poached Eggs on a Toasted English Muffin, Canadian Bacon, and Hollandaise Sauce served with Asparagus ($10.99). She ordered hers with scrambled eggs however, as she is not keen on poached eggs. I was debating what to order and Faith asked me what I usually ordered. When I told her she said I should order it and that it was the best thing on the menu. Of course I guess I should have expected this from a Massachusetts girl. I ordered Lobster Eggs Benedict - Two Poached Eggs, Lobster hash, Asparagus, and Hollandaise Sauce ($17.99). I keep forgetting this doesnt come with an English muffin. I also ordered a glass of skim milk ($2.29). Again using our TIW, the bill including discount, tax, tip and a round up tip came to $60.00.
We had planned a bit later breakfast as we knew that they didnt start accepting cars until 11:30 at the Sanford Auto Train. We went and retrieved the car from Valet Parking and left Disney for Sanford. As we departed the Grand Floridian we noticed the Goodyear Blimp overhead. I assume this was associated with the Live with Kelly and Michael show. We arrived shortly before 11:30 and waited for the gates to open. Once open we were given our vehicle number, turned in the car and headed in to obtain our boarding passes. We were in car 5213 seats 9 & 10. However, the car was quite empty and we were able to move to other seats so that we both had more room to stretch out at night. I went down to the lounge car, which was the one next to us and obtained a couple of Bl00dy Marys. The train pulled out of the station a few minutes ahead of schedule. We would visit the lounge car again before dinner. Dinner was at 7:00. I think I mentioned before that dinner is included in the cost of the train. Donna had the chicken parmesan, which came with garlic mashed potatoes. She really didnt care for it. I once again had the baked cod. We finished off our meals with cheesecake with strawberries on top. We both managed to grab a bit of sleep over the long trip and arrived back home a little ahead of time. We soon retrieved our car and headed home. Now breakfast is served on the train, but it is continental, which Donna doesnt really care for. So we decided to stop at our local McDonalds. It was only 10:30 in the morning but they had already started serving lunch. So we skipped. We went home, unloaded the car, and headed out to the Vet to pick up Cookie our cat. We stopped at a Wendys along the way and grabbed lunch. After picking up Ms. Cookie we went back home, another trip to Disney, sadly coming to an end.

I suppose if you gave me a rough sketch of where everything is I could make a nice little 8-Bit map.

The research of Politics faculty member Sam Abrams, along with co-authors Torben Iversen of Harvard and David Soskice of Duke and Nuffield College, Oxford, appears in the current issue of The British Journal of Political Science in an article entitled "Informal Social Networks and Rational Voting." While their argument incorporates game theory and strategic complementarities, and is thus challenging to briefly summarize, the essential hypothesis is a simple one: Individuals vote if their informal networks of family and friends attach importance to voting. Voting thus leads to social approval. And conversely, not voting leads to disapproval. Read the complete article»

Vt. and NH pike plan for reservoir upsets someJuly 02,2013
The Associated Press
ST. JOHNSBURY — Some anglers are upset at plans by the states of Vermont and New Hampshire to stock walleyed pike into the Moore Reservoir between the two states because they fear the fish will prey on other species such as trout and salmon.
Don Pelletier Trout Unlimited says walleye are aggressive and would harm the other fish populations.
The proposal is a joint project of the fish and game departments of the two states.
The walleye would be raised at a Vermont hatchery and released into the reservoir next year.
Vermont Fisheries biologist Jud Kratzer tells the Caledonian Record the reservoir has the potential to produce trophy walleyes and walleyes wouldn't hurt other fish species.
A hearing on the proposal is scheduled for later this month.MORE IN This Just InWESTMINSTER Vermont State Police say a passenger has died in an off-road vehicle crash in...

Transmitting and Translating the Eighteenth Century to the Twenty-First Century Classroom
Transmitting and Translating the 18th Century to the 21st-Century Classroom
It has been nearly twenty years since Neil Postman published his Building a Bridge to the Eighteenth Century. In this book, Postman compellingly discusses why it was becoming increasingly important for turn-of-the-century individuals to read writers like Voltaire, Diderot, and Johnson. It's often a model for how we can look at eighteenth-century literature and philosophy through the lens of modern events.

A hilarious Southern debut with the kind of characters you meet once in a lifetime.
Rising sixth grader Miss Moses LoBeau lives in the small town of Tupelo Landing, NC, where everyone's business is fair game and no secret is sacred. She washed ashore in a hurricane eleven years ago, and she's been making waves ever since. Although Mo hopes someday to find her "upstream mother," she's found a home with the Colonel--a café owner with a forgotten past of his own--and Miss Lana, the fabulous café hostess. She will protect those she loves with every bit of her strong will and tough attitude. So when a lawman comes to town asking about a murder, Mo and her best friend, Dale Earnhardt Johnson III, set out to uncover the truth in hopes of saving the only family Mo has ever known.
Full of wisdom, humor, and grit, this timeless yarn will melt the heart of even the sternest Yankee.

In the early twentieth century various investigators believed that patients with reduced gastric acid secretion were especially susceptible to bacterial enteric infections. Since many bacteria are promptly killed in an acidic environment, gastric acidity was thought to act as a "barrier" to ingested microorganisms. Despite a century of study, the concept of a "gastric barrier" to ingested microorganisms is still insufficiently understood. In this paper we update the older observations and discuss the interaction between bacteria and gastric acid, and other variables that may influence the survival of ingested bacteria in the stomach. In addition to recent data dealing with nontyphoidal salmonellosis, cholera, and shigellosis, we present information pertinent to other bacterial and parasitic enteric diseases. We believe that the available data, although incomplete, support the concept that gastric hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria increases both susceptibility to and severity of bacterial and perhaps also of certain parasitic enteric infections.

Ricochet's own Tevi Troy recently published a fantastic essay on the significance and history of think tanks in the U.S. It is extremely well-researched. Although I thought I knew a lot about think tanks (indeed huge part of the research for my book was to analyze media citations of think tank scholars), I learned a lot. The following is one of the many very informative passages of the piece:
Although they were becoming increasingly important in prominent policy discussions, think tanks in the 1950s and '60s intentionally kept some distance between themselves and the most heated political debates of the era. They saw it as their role to inform but not quite to advocate — to help clarify policy alternatives, but generally not to choose among them. This may have been driven in part by their understandable desire to retain that all-important tax-exempt status. Still, most think tanks went well beyond the requirements of the tax code, having made a very deliberate decision to distance themselves from direct policy advocacy.
It was frustration with this studied aloofness that eventually ushered in the age of more activist think tanks, beginning especially on the right. In his book The Power of Ideas, Heritage Foundation fellow Lee Edwards describes a pivotal moment in this evolution when, in 1971, AEI produced a study of the benefits and drawbacks of the supersonic transport aircraft that Congress was considering funding for the Pentagon. The study was delivered to congressional offices a few days after the Senate had defeated funding for the project in a close 51-46 vote. After receiving the apparently tardy report, Paul Weyrich — then an aide to Colorado Republican senator Gordon Allott — called AEI president William Baroody to ask why the helpful analysis could not have been available before the vote. Baroody's response, according to Edwards, was that AEI "didn't want to try to affect the outcome of the vote."
Baroody's answer shocked Weyrich and his fellow congressional staffer Ed Feulner, who wondered what the purpose of such research was if not to affect the outcome of exactly that sort of vote. Weyrich and Feulner hatched the notion of a new think tank that would see as its mission the development of serious policy research to advance a broadly conservative agenda. Encouraged by Nixon White House staffer Lyn Nofziger, they began the work that would, in 1973, result in the creation of the Heritage Foundation.

Oklahoma State football: Mistakes plague Cowboys in 59-38 loss to Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz — It was a night littered with mistakes. Lots of mistakes.
A school record for penalty yards. Four turnovers. Multiple dropped passes. A defense that could not stop Matt Scott and the Rich Rodriguez spread offense.
Oklahoma State fell to Arizona 59-38 in Tucson on Saturday night in a game where miscues stalled the offense, gave the Wildcats free yards and ultimately halted a fourth-quarter comeback attempt.
One moment in the first quarter seemed to ignite the string of missteps that plagued the No. 18 Cowboys (1-1) for the remainder of the night.
After a new quarterback-receiver connection, Wes Lunt-to-Tracy Moore, gave the Cowboys an early 14-0 lead, Calvin Barnett was called for two personal fouls on a play — a roughing the passer call and an unnecessary roughness call.
That 30-yard penalty led to a 15-yard touchdown pass from Scott to Richard Morrison and flipped momentum to the Wildcats.
Later, a fumble by Joseph Randle at the OSU 28 on the Cowboys' ensuing drive put Arizona in prime position for a field goal. Two holding penalties stalled OSU drives inside its 20-yard line. Two more OSU personal fouls — which contributed to the 167 total penalty yards — helped UA tack on 10 more points to propel it to a 23-14 lead at intermission.
A Ka'Deem Carey 13-yard touchdown catch on Arizona's opening drive of the third quarter gave the Wildcats 30 unanswered points.
And yet, the Cowboys still got the ball with a chance to take the lead early in the fourth quarter after Lunt directed three consecutive scoring drives to cut Arizona's lead to 37-31. But a mistake by Lunt — a 48-yard pick-six by Jonathan McKnight — essentially put the game away.
There were numerous questions following OSU's 84-0 rout of lowly Savannah State about if the Cowboys had gotten enough quality work to prepare for their first road contest of the season. The Cowboy starters were out of the game before the second quarter began, with most playing around 15 snaps.
Call it rust. Call it sloppiness. Call it a lack of discipline and execution. The Cowboys often didn't look ready to play.
Lunt completed 37 of his 60 passes and a Big 12 freshman-record 436 yards and four touchdowns — all to Moore. Joseph Randle added 123 yards on the ground.
Scott finished with 320 yards passing, while Carey finished with 126 yards rushing.

Ivor Setterfield: interview
On the eve of a major conducting competition, Time Out talks music, maestri and Metalheadz with the pro baton-wielder and Goldie mentor Ivor Setterfield
On Thursday, three of the most talented aspiring young conductors will compete before an audience at the Barbican Hall in the biennial Donatella Flick Conducting Competition. Those who enjoyed BBC2's celebrity series 'Maestro' will have the chance to see bona fide musicians sweating it out in front of a panel of judges as they guide the London Symphony Orchestra through pieces by Verdi, Brahms, Ravel and Wagner.
Someone familiar with both scenarios is professional conductor Ivor Setterfield. A two-time semi-finalist in the competition, he will be familiar to 'Maestro' viewers as the mentor to drum 'n' bass DJ Goldie. It was evident that the pair bonded on the programme; both teary-eyed as Goldie came runner-up to Sue Perkins, having come to love Beethoven and Elgar. It has clearly been a reciprocal cultural exchange, as Setterfield turns up at Time Out HQ wearing jeans and a T-shirt with a gleaming black skull on it. 'It's Rare,' he announces to blank looks, explaining that this fashion range is all the rage with 'Metalheadz and Goldie's crew'. He is clearly part of this crew – even as we chat, the DJ leaves a rambling comical message on his mobile phone.
He speaks enthusiastically of his late night at Fabric's drum 'n' bass room. 'It was intense,' he recalls, 'though I did enjoy being in the DJ booth, drinking Champagne with Goldie and all the short-skirted ladies.' It's a far cry from St Martin-in-the-Fields, Setterfield's regular venue, at which his and other ensembles entertain with programmes of Baroque favourites, invariably including Pachelbel's Canon in D.
After a quick change, the 42-year-old maestro is in his more familiar white tie and tails. He puts on Vivaldi's 'Gloria' from the CD he has recorded with his New London Soloists Orchestra and conducts as he is photographed, apologising for being unable to find a baton that Goldie has not broken while conducting over-exuberantly in his mentor's Kentish Town home.
An approachable chap, Setterfield has conducted many orchestras, including the Royal Philharmonic. He studied singing at the Royal Academy of Music (he produces a surprisingly good countertenor on his new recording), going on to win a conducting scholarship, followed by study in Russia with LSO maestro Valery Gergiev.
As one would expect from such a professional, Setterfield is very confident and absolutely clear on what his craft is all about. 'What you are really doing as a conductor is taking all of everyone's ideas,' he explains. 'You are synthesising them, you are listening in a way and then you are leading through gestures, through your face, your body and your intensity.'
To what purpose? 'You are trying to make what the composer has trusted by writing down – which is to some extent dead – a living thing, in the same way that the reader of a book makes the text come alive and reads between the lines… It is a very similar role to that of a singer or instrumentalist, except that your instrument is a lot of people.'
The basics are clear: 'The baton hand controls tempo; the other hand is for cueing, balancing, expression, colour, loud and soft. But the hands are only part of it; the body – just simply standing differently – reveals your own palette of movements and what they mean to you.'
Though he has been in the business for 20 years, he has sympathy for junior maestri. 'It's a big responsibility for a young conductor,' he muses. 'Every one of the players that you are conducting is more experienced than you, and you are going into a situation as a manager. It's like a business consultant coming in and telling people who have been doing their job for 40 years what to do.'
It seems that he and Goldie are planning to bring classical music to the kids, and the DJ is hoping to come and conduct Piazolla at St Martin's, alongside Setterfield conducting Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons'. Speaking of which, does he fear becoming sidelined in a Baroque classics ghetto? 'I love the Baroque ,' he says, 'but I would really like to programme more modern music like Richard Strauss's "Metamorphosen". But we just couldn't risk it financially.'
There is a solution, though, he suggests: 'You'll just have to make me famous.' Gladly, if I don't have to listen to Pachelbel's damn Canon again.

No surprise here. With the NFL Draft closing in, Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman may be looking to trade.
During his annual pre-draft press conference Tuesday at Winter Park, Spielman delivered one of his annual advertisements, noting that he is open to trade offers and asserting that the Vikings' phone lines have been buzzing.
"I'm telling you, it's been the most active it's been in a while," Spielman said. "Because of where we're picking. And I don't know the reason why, but there are a lot of teams that potentially are jockeying from the top of that second round and there are some teams jockeying potentially in the bottom of the first round to come up to one of our picks."
Even though Spielman is armed with picks 23 and 25 for Thursday's first round, the GM can't promise he'll use both, still exploring opportunities to move back and gather additional picks for either this year or next year.
"That's something we're going to be very open to," Spielman said.
Spielman said it's unlikely, however, that the Vikings would try to trade up in Round 1 on Thursday particularly with a draft that seems to be loaded with quality depth at so many positions.
Henderson an option at middle linebacker?
The Vikings still have a vacancy at middle linebacker, a position they figure to address in some way this weekend. But Spielman said the team hasn't fully ruled out the possibility of turning veteran Erin Henderson loose as the starting middle linebacker in 2013.
It's not a shock the Vikings would leave that option open. But it would seem to be more of a last resort if the team struck out in finding a middle linebacker in this weekend's draft.
Henderson seems better equipped as a weakside linebacker and was far from spectacular a year ago when playing middle linebacker in the Vikings' nickel packages. But Spielman asserted Tuesday that if the Vikings found an outside linebacker they really liked in the draft, they would be open to sliding Henderson inside.
"That's what is great about this linebacker thing," the GM said. "We have the flexibility to go either way."
Vikings to re-sign Pat WIlliams
The Vikings will sign Pat Williams to a contract Thursday. But no, there isn't any plan for Williams to supply depth at nose tackle. Instead, the one-day contract will be a symbolic gesture, allowing Williams to formally retire as a Viking.
The 40-year-old lineman started 93 games over his six seasons with the Vikings from 2005-10, anchoring a sturdy front that gave the team one of the league's most consistently stingy run defenses. His 14-year NFL career ended after the 2010 season.
Williams will participate in the team's draft party at Mall of America Field on Thursday night.

Peanut Banana Waldorf Recipe
This is a combination of two different salads that my children liked when they were growing up. It probably originated when I was making one or the other of the salads and didn't have enough apples or bananas to make the amount of salad I needed.
- 1 small unpeeled red apple, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 small firm banana, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 2 tablespoons peanuts
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1. In a small bowl, combine the apple, banana and peanuts. Combine mayonnaise and peanut butter; Pour over fruit mixture; toss to coat. Yield: 2 servings.
Nutritional Facts
1 serving (3/4 cup) equals 278 calories, 20 g fat (3 g saturated fat), 5 mg cholesterol, 186 mg sodium, 23 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber, 5 g protein.

OKC Thunder: How Kendrick Perkins turns policing the paint into abstract art
Kendrick Perkins has an attitude problem. He knows it, and he'll never change. It's why he is who he is.
Behind that scowl is a shockingly smart basketball player. The Thunder center is about to start his 10th season, yet is still 27 years old. This truly makes him wise beyond his years.
This wisdom is delivered in a thick Texas drawl from a man who is Beaumont blunt. There's nothing but meat on the bone as he shares man-sized portions of knowledge.
"To me, it's all about trust," Perkins said of manning the middle. "It's installed in me. If I'm going to be the anchor on the defensive end, I can't always just talk about it, I have to abide by it."
Ask anybody what makes Perkins one of the league's premier post defenders and without fail they'll mention his attitude.
Thunder backup center Cole Aldrich, an aw-shucks 23-year-old from Minnesota missing one front tooth, admitted Perkins flat-out scares him sometimes.
What makes Perkins so good at the post?
"His knowledge," Aldrich said. "He's played with a lot of good guys. He's been in the league 10 years and he's learned. He just knows the position and that's what makes him so good. You watch film of him and he really knows what he's doing."
Aldrich flashed a gap-tooth smile as he said: "Then again, it could be 100-percent attitude, you never know."
Thunder coach Scott Brooks said there is no mystery to what makes Perkins tick.
"It's all about attitude and toughness," Brooks said. "If you don't have that in this league, you're going to get pushed around. You're not going to be able to perform and be able to stop players in this league. They're so skilled and talented, especially down low."
Sweating profusely as usual after a practice, Perkins took a huge swig of water before proceeding to pontificate.
"Mostly it is attitude … and pride," Perkins began. "Yeah, I do take it personal. Guarding people on the block, I take it real personal, especially when you're going against a guy known for getting a bucket at the 4 or 5 position. When I lock in, I don't care about nothing else that's going on."
Perkins hears the constant rumblings about his modest stats. Some claim his career averages of 6.2 points and 6.2 rebounds make him expendable, particularly with the Thunder trying to sign Sixth Man of the Year James Harden to a contract extension.
Detractors claim OKC should simply exercise the amnesty clause available on Perkins, which would free up $17.6 million the next two seasons to re-sign Harden. What these folk fail to realize is the Thunder would then have a gaping hole in the middle and be in need of an attitude re-adjustment.
Would OKC have won last year's Western Conference title with Nenad Krstic and Jeff Green still on the roster? (That's a rhetorical question.) When general manager Sam Presti worked a trade with the Boston Celtics on Feb. 24, 2011, he got the tough-minded presence and intelligence the Thunder desperately needed to compete for an NBA title.
Perkins' value increased even more this offseason when center Dwight Howard was traded from Orlando to the Los Angeles Lakers, who promptly were projected to unseat the Thunder as Western Conference champs. After averaging just 13.1 points against Boston in the 2009 Eastern Conference semifinals, Howard said no one defends him as well as Perkins.
It was 8½ years ago when Celtics coach Doc Rivers began to mold Perkins, one year after Perkins had arrived as the 27th overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft straight out of Clifton J. Ozen High School in Beaumont.
Perkins knows who he is, and makes no apology.
"There's nothing wrong with being who you are," Perkins said. "That's why I don't hang my head in the league as far as guarding guys on the block, or for trying to be the best at the pick-and-roll defense for bigs in the league, or trying to set good picks. It's about being who you are as a person and you just accept your role.
"People who really look at basketball and follow basketball know I bring it to the table. That's what I try to do every night. I try to be great at something on the court and bring that value that nobody else can bring."
Perkins continues to hone his craft simply by being a basketball fan.
"When I go home, I'm still watching basketball," Perkins said. "I'm watching NBA all the time. I'm watching different matchups. I'm watching (the Clippers') Blake Griffin against (Portland's) LaMarcus Aldridge, or (Minnesota's) Kevin Love against (Utah's) Al Jefferson. And when they come in to play us, I'm seeing what kind of numbers they've been getting. If they've been getting 30 (points) and 20 (rebounds), what they're about to get is a 12 and 12 night against me.
"You know what I mean? Seriously, that's how I approach it."
Who would dare argue?
No greater challenge than Mavs' Nowitzki
Given all those classic confrontations against Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol, which duel does Thunder center Kendrick Perkins cherish most?
Perhaps no one in the league consistently has defended these three behemoths better than the 6-foot-10, 260-pound Perkins.
So which player is Perkins' toughest test? Alas, none of the above.
To Perkins, there is no greater challenge than defending Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks.
The 7-foot, 245-pound Nowitzki is a matchup nightmare. The German can score anywhere from 0 to 30 feet. He'll lean into defenders, then fade away from them. He'll constantly get to the free-throw line and also can burn defenders shooting off the wrong foot.
Perkins shakes his head while describing all the ways Nowitzki can cause trouble.
"He's the guy they're setting pin-downs for and stuff like that," Perkins said. "You've got to get low, lock and trail. He may come off or flop on you and that's a challenge. That's why I like going against him. He brings different types of stuff other than just paint-banging."
Perkins is roughly 30 pounds lighter than when he arrived in a trade with the Boston Celtics on Feb. 24, 2011. A more agile Perkins has since extended his defense outside the paint-banging area.
"Challenging Bynum and Dwight is more in the paint. It's more 'uh, uh, uh,' " Perkins said, punctuating each "uh" with his shoulder. "With Dirk, you're fighting through screens. You're basically being a guard. That's the challenging part of it."
Nowitzki often lures defenders out to uncharted territory.
Don't you sometimes feel a million miles away from the basket when defending Nowitzki?
"Yeah, you do," Perkins said with a smile. "That's cool, though."

One more time, one more time
Uh, one more time, uh, one more time
[Verse 1]
I dream of the day I can go back to when I was born
Laying in your arms, wishing you was here today, mom
Wish you'd appear, just for a second from Heaven
My tears would be gone, I wouldn't be rapping this song
I'd be happy driving up to your eight bedroom mansion
Up late, laughing about the hard times we faced
The galaxy is so enchanting beyond, Galileo's understandin'
Past the Milky Way and all the planets
There's something out there greater, but only God knows
Scientists claim we came from apes, but they lies though
That was part of our conversation
I spark one up and start blazin'
Thinking of how amazing she was, an angel gave me love
I'm thankful to ever know a woman so real
I pray when I marry, my wife'll have one of your skills
But mom, you could never be replaced
I'd give my life up just to see you one more day, to have…
(One more dance with you, mama)
If I could only have
(One more dance with you, mama)
Praying, wishing that I could have
(One more dance with you, mama)
If I could only have
(One more dance with you, mama)
[Verse 2]
I wish you were here, I miss you more each second I breathe
You resting in peace, forever I accepted you free
A blessing to me, I see you dressed in all white
Smiling at me, happy knowing everything's all right
If only I could hear your voice and your laughter
Just one more time, my chest would be filled up with sunshine
April 7th '02, that's when the gates of Heaven opened up
For you to stroll through, beautiful Anne Jones
Job is done, raising ghetto kids in the hood
You was my strength to carry on, and now I'm good
Job well done, you lived through your sons and grandchildren
Jesus finally got his bride, mommy, dance with him
And you've been my guide through all the trouble I faced
They playing our song, the life-beat, my hand on your waist
I grab your other hand, I'm trying not to step on your toes
Spin you around with my eyes closed, dreaming I can have…
I love you forever, mom
You will always live through me, always
Nas' mother passed away a few months before the release of his album God's Son. This song is dedicated to his mother, and serves as one of the closing tracks of the album. At the end of the song, Olu Dara, Nas's father, plays the cornet as a tribute to his fallen spouse.

Hey all, first post here and hoping for a little help.
I've found a great deal on a Redline Conquest and I'm just wondering about the sizing. I've read a ton on here regarding the Redline sizing and how I should go down a size for a Redline bike.
The Redline conquest I'm ordering is coming from out of town, so I don't have a chance to actually size myself on it.
I'm 6'1 with a 32" inseam to the floor.
One store in my city measured me on his measuring device and said he'd put me on a 57cm Rocky Mountain...he figured that was about right.
Another store put me on a 56 Kona and said that would be fine as well.
The Redline Conquest I'm looking to purchase is a 56. Being that I've read that Redlines fit bigger, I'm assuming that the 56 is probably more close to a 57 or 58?
Being that the 56 Kona and 57 Rocky Mountain were fine, do you think that the 56 Redline would be fine as well? I'm looking to use it more as a commuter with the odd off road trails. I hail from Northwestern Ontario Canada and our roads are absolute crap because of the frost heaves. A cyclocross bike is abslutely perfect for our terrain and trails up here.
Would the 56 Redline sound about right?
