Tiger Heavyweights Head To Annapolis, Will Race For Navy-Princeton Cup
Listen Live l National Poll l @TigerHeavies l @PUTigers
The fourth-ranked Princeton heavyweights will officially kick off their 2014 season this weekend in Annapolis, Md., as they take on the 12th-ranked Midshipmen for the Navy-Princeton Cup.
Princeton got out on the water last weekend, though it was technically deemed a scrimmage, and earned wins over EARC rivals Georgetown and Syracuse. The varsity eight topped Syracuse by nearly six seconds, while the second varsity defeated the Orange by more than 15 seconds. Both wins came in brutal conditions on Lake Carnegie, and the Tigers should be able to enjoy much better conditions on the Severn River Saturday morning.
Princeton remained fourth in this week's national poll, though there was movement both above and below the Tigers. Northeastern, previously No. 2, dropped eight spots following a loss at Penn; Washington, which was No. 6 in the preseason, moved up three spots following its own Class Day regatta.
In other words, it's way too early to know where any of these boats stand among each other.
Princeton will get a good test this Saturday when it heads out for its first of three consecutive road regattas. More than 100 years after the first meeting between the two tradition-rich programs, Princeton and No. 12 Navy will vie for the Navy-Princeton Rowing Cup on the Severn River (7:20 am).
This will be the first race of the season for the Midshipmen, who fell to Princeton by 3.3 seconds in their regular season meeting last year.

Panama City -- The House Economic Affairs Committee unanimously passed the bill (HB681 / SB864) Wednesday that will make life more costly and inconvenient for people convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI). 15 states have laws similar to the bills going through the Florida legislature.
Current Florida law requires anyone convicted of a DUI that either has a minor in the car, is involved in an accident or has a blood alcohol level over .15 to install an ignition interlock device on their vehicle. This new proposal would require the device for anyone convicted of DUI.
Derek Collins was previously convicted of DUI and is a recovering alcoholic, and he says the interlock device has been a learning experience.
"I think it will be a really good deterrent for alcohol. You get this one time, you really don't want it again" said Derek Collins.
Collins has to blow into the interlock device and pass it before he can start the ignition of his car. If the new bill passes, even first time offenders will have to have the device installed for atleast three months.
"If it's going to prevent an individual from driving while impaired then, I'm all for it" said Mary Cruel, DUI Evaluator.
Cruel works with DUI offenders. She believes if more people were educated on the consequences of drinking and driving, they'd be less likely to get behind the wheel after a few drinks.
"The interlock for three months that will just enhance that learning experience, yes I do believe that would prevent continued impaired driving" said Cruel.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is also supporting the legislation.
"Hopefully it helps with behavior modification, with people who don't think they have an issue with drinking, maybe this shows them that they do" said Kristen Allen, State Victim Services Manager, MADD.
The interlock device can subject the driver to blow into it at random even while the car is in motion, and if the driver fails once the car is turned off it will not start again for several hours. The cost of ignition interlock devices average between $50 - $200 to install and carry a monthly fee of $50 - $100 dollars for the duration of the court order. Add that to the cost of a DUI fine. For first time offenders pay close to $1,000 dollars, and those with a blood alcohol level of more than .15, the fine jumps to $2,000 dollars.
The bill now goes to the Senate Criminal Justice Committee.

Ivy Title Still in Sight for Womens Basketball Following 92-48 Victory
Box Score
Led by four players in double figures and a dominating rebounding margin, the Princeton women's basketball team earned a 92-48 victory over Columbia Saturday night at Jadwin Gym.
With the weekend sweep Princeton has clinched a postseason berth for the fifth consecutive season, but its sights are still firmly set on capturing a fifth straight Ivy League title. The Tigers remain atop the league standings behind their 20-7, 11-2 Ivy record with Penn, who currently is underway versus Cornell.
Princeton has now posted 20-win seasons each of the last five years.
The regular season finale and title bout between Princeton and Penn is set for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at Jadwin Gym with an NCAA berth accompanying the conference championship.
It was no coincidence that on Senior Night the Tigers were paced by their co-captain seniors. Like a dynamic one-two punch, Kristen Helmstetter and Nicole Hung injected energy and showcased their experience.
Helmsetter recorded her fourth double-double of the year with 14 points and 10 rebounds, matching the game high, while Hung hit numerous clutch points en route to her 11-point, five-rebound outing. She was 4-for-6 from the field and 2-for-2 from the stripe.
Aside from a game-opening three-pointer by Columbia's Taylor Ward, Princeton controlled the scoreboard for the remainder of the contest.
Columbia did keep pace and trailed, 9-8, at 15:14, before a Tiger 8-0 run was all they needed to shake off the Lions for good.
Behind 13 first half Michelle Miller points, Princeton commanded a 46-22 lead at halftime and never looked back.
Miller finished with a team-high 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field, 3-for-4 from downtown and 2-for-2 from the line. She also had eight rebounds in only 17 minutes of work.
Working on all cylinders, Princeton's tempo and pace proved unwavering, as it closed out the contest with a 44-point margin.
The Tigers grabbed a season-high 58 rebounds, to hold a staggering 58-25 advantage over the Lions. Princeton made 21 offensive boards, which resulted in 20 second chance points.
Joining Helmstetter with 10 rebounds was sophomore Taylor Williams who nearly had a double-double of her own with 10 boards and eight rebounds. Classmate Annie Tarakchian added eight boards and 14 points in 20 minutes off the bench.
The Tigers finished shooting 48.6 percent (34-for-70) from the field, while limiting Columbia to 29.8 percent (17-for-57). Princeton was sent to the line 28 times, banking 20 points for a 71.4 percentage.
Postgame Notes: The Tigers are guaranteed a postseason berth either in the NCAA tournament by winning the Ivy League title Tuesday or in the WNIT as the league runner-up.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Trees, Shrubs, & Vines
Winter's Hollies (page 2 of 5)
by Michael MacCaskey
Winter's Hollies Selection Guide
Most hollies are evergreen, and most are hardy to about 0°F (USDA zone 7). Deciduous hollies are hardier, generally to about -20°F (zone 5). Although temperature limits are a useful guide, other factors, such as summer temperatures and rainfall patterns, also influence adaptability. Therefore, all the evergreen varieties listed here are noted as either "N" ? northern, including the Plains and midwestern states east of the Rocky Mountains; "S" ? southern, including the Gulf Coast and upper South; or "W" ? western, including the Pacific Northwest and West Coast.
All hollies are dioecious, meaning that male and female flowers are born on separate plants: The berry-producing flower is on the female plant and the pollen-bearing male flower is on another. Only females produce the colorful berries and to do so require pollen from a male plant of the same species. Hybrids are pollinated by males of either parent species. Those few female hollies that produce some berries without pollen from a male plant are noted in the descriptions. Birds feast on all holly berries but prefer red ones over other colors.

from Madison, Wisconsin
Comments about NYDJ Hayden Straight Leg in Premium Lightweight Denim – Long:
I really wanted to like these jeans and was very excited when they arrived. I have long legs but short waisted. They came up well over the navel the fit just didn't work. They did look like MOM Jeans.

Fabulous Fit, Fabulous Fabric!!
By The Fashion Navigator
from Edina, MN
These jeans are great! The fit is so fantastic - a far cry from the NYDJ that I tried on years ago that felt like "mom jeans!" I look like I dropped ten pounds just by putting them on. The fabric is soft and really moves with you. These jeans fit, hug the body, yet move with every move. They never feel tight or binding, yet never loosen out too much that they "sag". They are wonderful with a big sweater and tank top for running around town, as well as with a silk blouse and jacket for a night on the town. I am so pleased with these jeans. These are just what they claim - "not your daughter's jeans" yet they are not "mom jeans" either. Thanks!

Decisions, decisions ...
Folks on the go will have a chance to see some top-flight folk of the home-brewed variety this weekend as well as (more) world-class jazz for Salt Lake City.
While anyone willing to hit the road can catch a legend - albeit of different genres and in different places.
First up it's Thursday and tonight at The Urban Lounge, you can get your 'LedZep' on with a tribute band called Led Zeppelin 2.
Zeppelin, which split in 1980, still maintains ownership of one of the coolest and most beloved songbooks in rock history. Seeing tribute bands can negatively impact your hipness ratings among the cool crowd, but if these guys play the tunes well, hey, why not?
Another more intense option for Thursday is at Burt's Tiki Lounge with veteran ska rockers, The Toasters. If you're looking for a high-energy kickoff for your weekend, look no further.
Now back to the "tough questions" part of the weekend, if you want to hit the road Friday afternoon for Wendover, Nev., the Peppermill Casino will host the legendary B.B. King.
The King of the Blues is now 85 and is not quite the force of nature onstage he once was. But if you want to see bursts of bluesy greatness and a funky band with kicking horns backing him up, B.B. is still worth the drive (and the weather looks to be cooperative).
Rest assured, he won't play as much guitar as anyone wants him too and it'll be a 90-minute casino gig. But even with all that, it's still mighty tempting. Tickets start at $25, which is relatively inexpensive considering what you get.
Don't misunderstand, B.B. still delivers, but he also talks quite a bit onstage and plays sitting down. For guitar geeks like me, B.B. and his guitar "Lucille" still have the sweetest tone in the business.
Also Friday, a legend in his own right, Ice Cube, will be in Ogden for a gig at the Winter Dew Tour music stage on 25th Street.
It's reportedly a free concert outdoors, so I can't imagine it won't be mobbed - probably by some kids who know him from "Are We There Yet?" more so than from his days with NWA - yikes! The show starts at 9.
And the rapper's moniker might never be more appropriate than at this show. Bundle up ...
On Saturday night at the Sheraton, the GAM Foundation is hosting velvet-voiced singer Stacey Kent. The 44-year-old sings great jazz, in two languages.
Jazz lovers are having a fine week - Wynton Marsalis's gig on Monday was wonderful - and Kent's show likely will be quite strong as well. Her upcoming album is all in French, so you might need a French-English dictionary for a few of the numbers, but it sounds like a fun problem to have on a Valentine's Day weekend.
Also Saturday, Utah folk singer and nationally recognized radio producer Hal Cannon will be at The State Room. Cannon's widely known as a member of Red Rock Rondo, and this gig should be an intimate treat at the always-cozy venue. Show time's at 9, but I'd get in early if I wanted seats down low.
So have fun, stay warm and count down the hours to Single Awareness Day Monday.

ZF-8248: Disturbing lack of validation in Example 38.7. - Database Storage - DbStorage extends Zend_OpenId_Consumer_Storage
I must admit I am not wholly familiar with either Zend_Db or Zend_OpenId, but the code examples in Example 38.7. Database Storage worry me because they just seem to trust the incoming data so much.
public function delAssociation($url) { $table = $this->_association_table; $this->_db->query("delete from $table where url = '$url'"); return true; }
I think it would be wise to mention somewhere in the docs how we know that $url is not going to carry an SQL injection attack so that paranoid folk like me don't get anxious when reading it.

Climate Change and Migration Issues in the Sahel with Arrey Ivo
The African Sahel stretches across 17 countries including Mali, Niger, Northern Nigeria, Northern Cameroon, Chad, Sudan (including Darfur) etc. The beautiful Sahel once flourishing with livestock is facing diminishing range lands, drought, famine, hunger and the very harsh fallouts of climate change. Conflicts in certain areas coupled natural pressures on livelihoods have kept people moving from place to place in a very porous and hostile part of Africa.

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy Lampshade I am happy with the decision to go with the white lampshade! It looks fantabulous with the brushed chrome nightstand lamp bases. I only purchased one shade and the store in San Luis Obispo only had one left. Still trying to acquire the second to match. Great buy for the money! September 14, 2009
Rated 2 out of 5 by queenissac GREEN CAST SHADE! I agree w/ the previous reviewer about the weird green-brown color cast once the lamp is turned on. It's a shame too, as the lamp shade looks great when the lamp is off & the texture/material (which seems to be some sort of thick paper) looks really great & not cheap in the least...& the price was fantastic. However, once you turn is on, it has a not-so-attractive greenish-brown cast (check out my pic...note the plastic packaging is still on the lamp in the pic, but is is clear & didn't make a difference in the color as I peeled it a bit in the back to see). Bummer...will be exchanging for the white burlap one. (Hopefully I can, as I bought it months ago, but just found a home for the lamp & this shade). If the weird color doesn't bother you, it's otherwise a good shade. March 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by kbn22 Would be great, except that it's not really white This shade looks great at first - a simple white shade, with a small amount of texture. However, when the light is turned on, the lamp's true color reveals itself - it gives off a strongly greenish brownish cast. I'm at a loss to explain how something can look so white in natural light, yet such a dramatically different color when the light is turned on. Unless greenish brownish is what you're going for, skip this shade. September 16, 2012

EUGENE, Ore. – No. 2 Arkansas won the 4x400 meters to edge No. 4 Oregon 86-77 in an exciting collegiate dual meet before 7,344 fans on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Historic Hayward Field.
"Kudos to Arkansas to come in here and compete like they did," said Oregon head coach Robert Johnson. "It was a disappointing way to end the meet on the loss in the 4x400, but it was a very exciting track meet."
Arkansas led 81-77 after 18 events, with the decisive five points up for grabs in the 4x400. On the anchor leg, Oregon's Mike Berry and Arkansas' Akheem Gauntlett were even coming off the final curve before Gauntlett edged a step ahead on the homestretch and led the Razorbacks to the win in 3:07.14. The Ducks crossed in 3:07.39.
"We appreciate Oregon coaches for providing this," said Arkansas head coach Chris Bucknam. "I wanted to bring the athletes out to experience this historic field. Everything was great. The weather was perfect. This was a perfect track meet."
Before decisive relay, the Ducks and Razorbacks traded salvos in an exceptionally compelling dual meet.
Elijah Greer pulled away for an impressive win in the 800 meters. The senior from Lake Oswego, Ore., timed 1:46.20, which was the top time in the NCAA this season.
Mac Fleet was just as impressive, running the fastest 1,500 meters in the nation in 2013. The junior from San Diego, Calif., took the race in a personal best 3:40.21, with freshman Jeramy Elkaim third for the Ducks in 3:42.83.
"I got a win and a personal record. I can't really complain with those results," said Fleet. "I didn't really have a race plan. I just felt good moving up in my gaps."
Sam Crouser collected a pair of wins in the throws. He first won the discus with a personal best throw of 174-2/53.10m on his sixth and final attempt. He followed that with a win in the javelin with a mark of 240-7/73.33m.
"I was happy about my consistency today. It was a good day in both the discus and javelin for me," said Crouser. "I was feeling so much better on the runway this afternoon. My finish was a little off, but I was able to have fun out there today."
Before his run in the 4x400, Berry won the 400 meters in 45.92. That was the seventh fastest time in the NCAA this season.
Arthur Delaney captured the 100 meters in 10.59 and placed second in the 200 meters in a seasonal best 20.80.
Sophomore Johnathan Cabral won the 110 meter hurdles in 13.56. He came back to finish second in the 400 meters in 53.86.
Trevor Ferguson had a big personal best in the long jump. The sophomore from Oregon City, Ore., went 24-10.5/7.58m to finish second. Ferguson also grabbed third in the 110 meter hurdles in a personal best 14.34.
Freshman Ryan Hunter-Simms matched his personal best in the shot put with a throw of 53-5.75/16.30m to finish second.
Junior Ethan Powell took second in the javelin with a throw of 204-2/62.22m.
The Ducks also picked up four points in the pole vault with senior Austin Ouderkirk and freshman Matt Hidalgo both clearing 16-2.75/4.95m to tie for second.
Despite Saturday' setback, Greer was already looking forward to seeing the Razorbacks again.
"I feel like the team can bounce back from this loss and put up a great showing at the NCAA Championship," he said. ""It's unfortunate we weren't able to come through at the end, but we kept it close through the final meters. I know we certainly showed that Oregon is a contender."

The Longest Weekend
As I mentioned on Wednesday, I'll be taking a short blogging break, in order to give this little project my full attention. Elizabeth will be taking care of WIP Wednesday this week (there will be a reminder post here, directing you to her blog), and I hope to be back on Thursday, barring any disasters and/or vast amounts of time spent cleaning carpet. Have a good one!

We tried the miracle 3 day potty training. It was a spectacular fail! and I have to recover the dining room chairs. I did get us jump started though. Good luck! Potty training is one of my least favorite parts of parenting.

Good Luck! My two year old has been potty trained for what seems like years now but girl has taken to taking her nighttime pull up off in her bed and dreaming she's going to the bathroom sitting on the toliet... Let's just say I've been doing many more loads of laundry everyday. Suffice it to say: Every kids is different and just keep the washing machine and dryer in working order.

This is one of those moments that making it fun works wonders. I did all out bribery with M&Ms with any success, and threw a few Cherrios in the pot for them to aim at. Pretty lame but it worked for me. Good luck!

Best of luck. My daughter showed signs at 2 and we started then. It was 2 years later at age 4 that she was fully trained.

Good luck and don't despair! I did the "Toilet training in less than a day" with my oldest when he was 2, it worked beautifully! My son was fully toilet trained in 24 hours!
And if you're not up to this intensive method - don't worry, patience, patience and more patience, and all will be great

If there is going to be one sure-fire commercial hit to emerge from Sundance 2013, I'm putting my money on The Way Way Back.
That's not the riskiest of bets, I know, given that co-writers/co-directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash won an Oscar for adapting the screenplay of George Clooney hit The Descendants. But you'd be hard-pressed to find another movie at the festival that is as funny from beginning to end, or as full of winning performances, as this story of 14-year-old Duncan's trip to a beach town with his divorced mother Pam (Toni Collette) and her boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell).
Duncan (an excellent Liam James) does not much like Trent, or how his mother acts around him, but when he arrives in the little beach town for the summer, he finds relief from the family drama in a pretty neighbor girl (AnnaSophia Robb) and in a summer job at a local, run-down waterpark offered by a friendly local named Owen (Sam Rockwell--never better).
If Duncan's coming-of-age tale sounds like "been there, done that," you need to see The Way Way Back, and how well Faxon and Rash infuse it with real heart and nonstop humor. Rockwell, Allison Janney as a bawdy neighbor, and Rash himself as a nebbishy co-worker of Duncan's all elicit laughs with virtually every line they utter. And Carrell, playing against type as a real jerk, is a pleasant surprise as well.
Word is The Way Way Back has landed a fat deal, and it's well-deserved. While the movie doesn't have the so-called "edge" many look for in an indie flick, it has more going for it than most movies that ever see the light of day. I'm glad America's theaters will get a chance to show this gem--the sooner the better.
Remaining screenings:
Jan. 24, 6:30 p.m., Peery's Egyptian Theater, Ogden
Jan. 27, 1 p.m., Sundance Resort

Medical Marijuana
The Basics
More than 70% of voters support the right of patients to use marijuana with a doctor's recommendation — including substantial majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
Although President Obama promised that he would not use "justice department resources to circumvent state laws" on medical marijuana, dangerous federally-conducted raids occur across the country every day.
Twenty-three states, plus the District of Columbia, allow the medical use of marijuana.
One of the most egregious outcomes of marijuana prohibition is that many sick people cannot legally access the medicine that works best for them. For many seriously ill people, medical marijuana is the only medicine that relieves their pain and suffering, or treats symptoms of their medical condition, without debilitating side effects.
Marijuana has been shown to alleviate symptoms of a huge variety of serious medical conditions including cancer, AIDS, and glaucoma, and is often an effective alternative to synthetic painkillers.
Medical Marijuana Access and Research
Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia have passed medical marijuana laws legalizing the use and production of medical marijuana for qualifying patients under state law. However, the medical use of marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and patients in the remaining states are without any legal access at all. Even in states where medical marijuana laws exist, patients and providers are vulnerable to arrest and interference from federal law enforcement.
Marijuana prohibition has also thwarted research within the United States to uncover the best and most effective uses for marijuana as a medicine, making efforts to reform medical marijuana laws particularly difficult.
DPA played a primary role in the passage of medical marijuana laws in nine states, starting with California's Proposition 215 in 1996. We seek to implement medical marijuana programs in additional states and to expand existing programs to better protect patients' rights and to improve patient access to their medicine.
The Drug Policy Alliance is committed to increasing the number of states with medical marijuana laws, supporting and improving existing state medical marijuana programs, protecting medical marijuana patients, and ending the federal ban on medical marijuana so that all patients within the United States have safe access to quality medicine and research into marijuana's medicinal benefits can move forward.

I've always been aware that there was a world of music on the edge of my periphery that just seemed to daunting to explore for a long time.
That's the hefty, varied discography of one Frank Zappa. And even though Zappa's been dead nearly 20 years, his music endures and has a worldwide audience that isn't going away.
So on Tuesday night, I found myself at Salt Lake City's State Room with about 180 enthusiastic Zappa fans watching former members of Zappa's Mothers of Invention - Napoleon Murphy Brock, keyboard wizard Don Preston and bassist Tom Fowler. Rounding out the quintet were guitar star Robbie Seahag Mangano - filling Zappa's shoes on the six-string is no ho-hum task - and drummer Christopher Garcia.
Some Zappa favorites including "Peaches En Regalia, "Carolina Hardcore Fantasy" and "Sofa I" were trotted out to wild enthusiasm from the audience, which hung on every note. Big highlights - and everything was well-played because the onstage musicianship was beyond question - included "More Trouble Everyday" and the second-set triple blast of "Village of the Sun/Echinda's Arf (of You)/Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?".
Led by the smiling, infectious Brock and his acrobatic vocals and dead-on sax playing, the band was effortlessly and endlessly impressive particularly the 79-year-old Preston, who has played with everyone from Nat King Cole to John Lennon. Preston routinely played standout, atmospheric solos.
For the first time ever, I feel like I really get the Zappa vibe, which is the lyrical irreverence is brought on because they can play circles around 99 percent of rock bands, so they might as well have a laugh in the process. And that's not a bad concept as Zappa's music doesn't appear to be going anywhere. As Brock opined during Tuesday's show,"this music was ahead of its time, and it still is."

Digital Agency of the Decade
We are a new digital agency.
'New?', we hear you say, 'isn't digital yesterday's revolution?'
Well, no.
We think digital has only just begun.
That we are only at the beginning of the beginning.
If this were the industrial revolution then right now we would be at the stage
when Stephenson's Rocket was steaming its way from Liverpool to Manchester.
Digital during the heady millennial days was all about 8 bit graphics, reuniting friends and ripping music.
Yes, it was all about firsts, but these firsts were essentially analogue ideas executed for the digital space.
The explosion of social media left marketeers with more channels
than they knew what to do with, ushering in the need to make sure
every idea was integrated to the nth degree.
But still nothing really changed.
In a socially lubricated world the poor consumer was left with even more messages they didn't want, and one too many 'friends'.
Then something truly radical happened.
Everything became connected.
Integration became redundant.
And the potential of the internet that the early pioneers first saw over 15 years ago finally started to be realised.
We're no prophets here. Many people saw this way before us and have taken advantage of it,
creating new business models, which serve the customer across this digitally connected space.
The likes of Soundcloud, Uber and Simple bank, to name a few,
have all created whole businesses providing a superlative customer experience
suited to today's demanding consumer.
Bringing us neatly back to the beginning. To us this is new digital.
It starts with great customer experience, connected digitally.
Get it right and you can help transform a business.
Which is exactly what we do.
This is Dare.
Digital Agency of the Decade

Ending Home Schedule, @PUSoftball Splits With Columbia
Both games decided by 3-2 scores, the Princeton softball team split with Columbia Sunday afternoon as Penn swept in Ithaca to take command of the Ivy race.
Penn is now 13-3 in the Ivy, four games ahead of Princeton (24-18, 9-7), while Cornell (7-9) and Columbia (21-21, 7-9) have been eliminated at six games back with four to play. Princeton will need to sweep Cornell next weekend and see Penn swept by Columbia to force a one-game playoff for the divisional title. Otherwise, Penn will advance to the Ivy League Championship Series.
In the opener, Princeton got a game-winning single from Alyssa Schmidt in the bottom of the seventh to get the win after rallying from an early Columbia lead. Morgan Cook had a leadoff double in the second for the Lions and scored on Emily Caruthers' two-out single.
Princeton tied it when Lizzy Pierce drew a bases-loaded, two-out walk in the fifth, but Columbia took the lead right back in the sixth. A leadoff walk was costly for Liza Kuhn, who gave up a two-out double to Liz Caggiano and left the game after giving up her second walk of the inning. Shanna Christian (9-5) preserved the tie in relief and picked up the win when Princeton scored in each of the last two innings.
Cara Worden dropped a single into right-center to score Maddie Cousens for the tying run in the bottom of the sixth, and singles from Rachel Rendina and Schmidt scored the game's final run.
Tessa Kroll (1-2) took the loss in relief for Columbia, giving up three hits in an inning and a third. Emily Kenyon threw the first 5 1/3 for Columbia, giving up four hits and three walks while striking out seven.
Kuhn allowed five walks and five hits in the opener, striking out two in her 5 2/3 innings of work. Christian allowed only one hit in her relief outing.
In the nightcap, Columbia picked up two runs in the top of the fifth and made it stand up by keeping the Tigers off the board in their last three at-bats.
Alex Peyton (7-7) went the distance, giving up seven hits and a walk while striking out two. Brooke Darling (10-8) got the win, giving up four hits and two walks, also striking out two.
Princeton cashed in on a leadoff walk to Rachel Rendina in the bottom of the first when Peyton picked her up with a sacrifice fly, but the Lions got the run back in the top of the second. Morgan Cook walked and Macy Shrum followed her with a double to make it 1-1.
That's the way it stood until the fourth, when Nikki Chu had Princeton's second single of the inning to plate a run and take a 2-1 lead, but again the advantage was short-lived. Columbia tagged Peyton for three singles and a double in the fifth, getting RBIs from Caruthers and Alix Cook to pull ahead 3-2.
Darling quieted the Tiger bats over the last three frames, allowing only a one-out single to Rendina while retiring 10 of the last 11 batters she faced.
Princeton's series at Cornell will take place next Saturday and Sunday with doubleheaders at 12:30 p.m. each day.

As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Sale Price:
An 840-pound emeraldthe world's largestis unearthed in Brazil in 2001. The resulting tale of deceit, obsession, and folly is almost too bizarre to be believed. A businessman claims to have bought it in Brazil for a mere $60,000, only to see his proof of purchase vanish in a suspicious house fire. Another man obtains title to the emerald, only to lose it in a diamond deal that falls through, he says, because he was kidnapped by the Brazilian mafia. In between, the emerald spends weeks submerged underwater in a New Orleans vault after Hurricane Katrina. By the time the stone finds its way into the California judicial system in 2008, no fewer than eight claimants are tussling for control of a specimen appraised at around $400 million.

The second edition of the Urban Design Readerdraws together the very best of classic and contemporary writings to illuminate and expand the theory and practice of urban design. Nearly fifty generous selections include seminal contributions from Howard, Le Corbusier, Lynch and Jacobs to more recent writings by Hiller, Koolhaas and Sorkin. Following the widespread success of the first wdition of the Urban Design Reader, this updated edition continues to provide the most important historical material of the urban design field, but also introduces new topics and selections that address the myriad challenges facing designers today. The six part structure of the second edition guides the reader through the history, theory and practice of urban design. The reader is initially introduced to those classic writings that provide the historical precedents for city-making into the twentieth Century. Section two introduces the voices and ideas that were instrumental in establishing the foundations of the urban design field from the late 1950s up to the mid 1990s. These authors present a critical reading of the design professions and offer an alternative urban design agenda focused on vital and lively places. The authors in section three provide a range of urban design rationales and strategies for reinforcing local physical identity and the creation of memorable places. These selections are largely describing the outcomes of mid-century urban design and voicing concerns over the placeless quality of contemporary urbanism. The fourth part of the Readerexplores key issues in urban design and development. Ideas about sprawl, density, community health, public space and everyday life are the primary focus here. Several new selections in this part of the book also highlight important international development trends in the Middle East and China. Section five presents environmental challenges faced by the built environment professions today, including recent material on landscape urbanism, sustainability, and urban resiliency. The final section examines professional practice and current debates in the field: where urban designers work, what they do, their roles, their fields of knowledge and their educational development. The section concludes with several position pieces and debates on the future of urban design practice. This book provides an essential resource for students and practitioners of urban design, drawing together important but widely dispersed writings. Section and selection introductions are provided to assist readers in understanding the context of the material, summary messages, impacts of the writing, and how they fit into the larger picture of the urban design field.

|Newlee rounds out roster
MOSCOW – Idaho women's basketball coach Jon Newlee has finalized his roster for the 2013-14 season with the addition of Agueda Trujillo Fernandez, a 6-foot freshman guard who will be yet another 3-point shooting threat for the Vandals.
Trujillo Fernandez averaged 21 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in high school, and was ranked as the No. 2 player on the Baleric Islands.
"She certainly brings us added depth," Newlee said. "I always love adding a shooter with her length. We were top 10 in the country in 3-pointers made last season, so adding another really good 3-point shooter can just make us that much more dangerous. She's just one more weapon in the backcourt for us."
The Vandals shattered the program record and ranked 10th in NCAA Division I with 275 3-pointers made and an average of 8.1 made 3s per game in 2012-13.
Trujillo Fernandez joins freshmen Brooke Reilly (Spokane, Wash.), Karlee Wilson (Lewiston, Idaho) and Nejra Solo (Bosnia) as Idaho's incoming class this fall.

Lee's Counter Current Protein Skimmer
|Lee's Counter Current Protein Skimmers help prevent toxic tank syndrome by removing proteins and other organics before they turn into nitrogen compounds or other toxins that may be harmful to aquarium inhabitants. Helps prevent toxic tank syndrome Removes proteins & other organics before they become nitrogen compounds or other toxins For use in Saltwater Fish Tanks and Reef Tanks. Through ADSORPTION, protein and other organic compounds in the water form a coating around bubbles as they rise to the top. The resulting foam floods over the top of the foam riser tube and is captured in the collection cup before it can re-enter the aquarium. Easily adjusted, low maintenance protein skimmers come pre-assembled, with 2-way plastic valves and hanger included. For Aquariums up to 30 Gallons.Advantages of Counter-Current: Better Water Flow, More Effective Mixing, and Longer Contact Time Water enters at the top of the skimmer and is drawn downward, using the full length and diameter of the Contact Chamber. When the bubbles produced by the air diffuser travel upward against the downward water flow, a spiraling turbulence is created. The turbulence causes air bubbles and water to mix for an extended period of time. This allows organics to be extracted more efficiently. Contact time is also increased by using the tallest Protein Skimmer that your aquarium will accommodate.Additional supplies needed for effective operation are a strong air pump and airline tubing for attaching the plastic valves to the pump.

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: Food Rules, delightfully illustrated; an Irish-American returns to the old country; England in the 1900s; and a NYC gentrification satire.
Food Rules an eater's manual by Michael Pollan
It's been around since 2009 as a pithy, serious-looking little book that cuts through all the dietary hype, trends, and latest theories to return us to common sense and pleasure vis- a- vis what we all do every day: eat. But this is a new illustrated version, and the artist is my all-time favorite, Maira Kalman. What a wonderful marriage of sensible yet often witty words and utterly exuberant, haimish pictures. (That's Yiddish for "homey.") She can tackle a concept like the soul of a carrot and make it sing. Pollan reminds us often to eat in company, and I want a place at the table for every one of Kalman's glorious feasts. A treasure!
This Is How It Ends by Kathleen MacMahon
Bruno is at a crossroads. His job has ended and an significant election looms. (It's 2009.) So why not make that Irish-American pilgrimage and check out his roots while trying to get his head together? However these distant relatives are not hospitable. Hugh, his second cousin, is grumpily recuperating from an accident and his daughter Della is reluctantly tending him and they don't know Bruno from Adam. However he and Della make a sweet connection which takes a while to flourish on such stony ground. She has her own disappointments and sorrows, one of which is very big as we discover towards the end. I like books that start with a tangle of frustrations and achieve resolution, and this one fills the bill nicely.
Crusoe's Daughter by Jane Gardam
Gardam is a wonder--a very odd, piquant stylist leading us into a world of eccentric souls. This is an early work, narrated by Polly Flint, an orphan who's fixated on Defoe's classic. England in the early 1900's. Polly has a strange life in a house full of women on the coast near a marsh. All sorts of reversals of fortune, an incipient romance thwarted by The War, and Polly ends up drafted as a teacher and very good at it indeed despite complete lack of experience. The ending brings surprising elements home. Richly-drawn characters and a great sense of zeitgeist.
Triburbia by Karl Taro Greenfeld
Tribeca in NYC brings together all sorts of folks with artistic pretensions and the money to move into the territory the original artists were forced out of through gentrification. It's a ripe field for satire, and Greenfeld makes the most of it. Through their connection with a local private school, a clutch of dads meet for breakfast after dropping off the kids. A varied bunch, most scrambling to keep their financial and domestic lives afloat. Lots of jockeying--it's NY after all--with schemes and infidelities. The children reflect their parents' competitive attitudes and cruelties abound, though the parents tend to let them "work it out." Entertaining. (Of particular interest to me: Greenfeld is the brother of autistic Noah, whose father wrote about him in a very moving book, and I was curious to see what would emerge here. Yes, there is an autistic child in the mix.)

The Appoquinimink Early Childhood Center's PTA held its final fundraiser until at least the 2014-2015 school year on May 3.
The Chick-fil-A off Route 301 donated a portion of the revenue it generated from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. toward the PTA.
PTA President Jenn Molengraft said the fundraiser brought in more than $100, which will be used to host an end-of-the-year party for the school's pre-K and kindergarten students, as well as its teachers and staff.
Appoquinimink Early Childhood Center will be closed through the 2013-2014 school year, one of several steps district officials say are necessary to help them close an $2 million shortfall next year. The school board voted in April to temporarily close the early childhood center for one year, along with Townsend Elementary School, which was closed this year for renovations.
A 15-cent hike in the school tax rate that will be put before voters on Thursday, combined with another $305,000 in spending cuts approved last month, will allow the district to close its funding gap and consolidate all pre-K programs at the Appoquinimink Early Childhood Center by the 2013-2014 school year.

Affiliated with
Cambridge, MA…State physician health programs (PHPs) play a key role in helping doctors with substance abuse problems. But the current PHP system is inconsistent and prone to potential conflicts of interest and ethical issues according to an article which will be published in the December issue of the Journal of Addiction Medicine and has just been released online.
The article points out "substantial variability in states' PHP policies and practices, often raising serious ethical and managerial questions." Harvard Medical School researchers and article authors J. Wesley Boyd, MD, PhD, and John R. Knight, MD, served as PHP associate directors for more than 20 years; based on that experience, they "recommend that the broader medical community begin to reassess PHPs as a whole in an objective and thoughtful manner."
Most states currently have PHPs, which help physicians with substance abuse disorders. State PHPs meet with, assess, and monitor doctors referred for substance abuse or other mental and behavioral health problems. They also make provisions for follow-up and monitoring of treated physicians, including random drug testing.
While the PHP system achieves good results in treating substance abuse disorders in physicians, with much higher success than reported for other groups of patients, the authors have identified several ethical concerns related to the "coercive" nature of the system. "Once a PHP recommends monitoring, physicians have little choice but to cooperate with any and all recommendations if they wish to continue practicing medicine," they write.
One issue is the high cost of evaluation and treatment. Evaluations recommended by PHPs are generally not covered by insurance and are very expensive—$4,500 or higher. If treatment is recommended, the cost may be prohibitive: one often-used facility charges $39,000 for a "standard" 90-day length of stay. That's much longer than the 20- to 28-day stay typical for other patients undergoing substance abuse treatment—despite a lack of evidence that health care professionals need longer treatment.
Many centers that perform PHP-recommended evaluations also provide treatment, thus raising the potential for financial incentives for treatment recommendations. Drs. Boyd and Knight note that close relationships between treatment centers and state PHPs are "replete with potential conflicts of interest."
They also point out problems related to the practice of some PHPs that "any and all" positive test results be reported to the state licensing board—even if they don't indicate substance abuse or relapse. Today's highly sensitive tests can give a positive result even in a person who has used alcohol-based hand sanitizer, as well as some types of asthma inhalers and pain medications. PHPs may instruct doctors to avoid these exposures to simplify interpretation of test results, "rather than what might be in the best interests of the physician."
"Given the anxiety and fear that being reported to the licensing board elicits, it is ethically indefensible for a PHP to ever report a physician for a false-positive test or any result they know doesn't indicate relapse," said Dr. Boyd, a psychiatrist at Cambridge Health Alliance, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and author of the just released book Almost Addicted. "One physician who herself was reported for one of these false positives told us that one of these days a physician was going to commit suicide over one of these reports."
Use of information about physicians in research by PHPs and their closely intertwined relationships with state licensing boards raise concerns as well. Because most doctors know little about them, PHPs "operate outside the scrutiny of the medical community at large," the authors write. "Physicians referred to PHPs are often compromised to some degree, have very little power, and are therefore not in a position to voice what might be legitimate objections to a PHP's practices."
The authors recommend that independent ethical oversight of PHPs be considered, along with a formal appeals process and a nationwide system for licensing and periodic auditing. They also call on specialty organizations such as the American Society of Addiction Medicine "to review PHP practices and recommend national standards that can be debated by all physicians, not just those who work within PHPs."

Affect Versus Effect
When to use affect and effect is one of the most common questions I get. This is an expanded show based on the original episode covering when to use affect with an a and when to use effect with an e.
Page 1 of 2
I get asked whether to use affect or effect all the time, and it is by far the most requested grammar topic, so I have a few mnemonics and a cartoon to help you remember.
What Is the Difference Between Affect and Effect?
Before we get to the memory trick though, I want to explain the difference between the two words: The majority of the time you use affect with an a as a verb and effect with an e as a noun.
When Should You Use Affect?
Affect with an a means "to influence," as in, "The arrows affected Aardvark," or "The rain affected Amy's hairdo." Affect can also mean, roughly, "to act in a way that you don't feel," as in, "She affected an air of superiority."
When Should You Use Effect?
Effect with an e has a lot of subtle meanings as a noun, but to me the meaning "a result" seems to be at the core of all the definitions. For example, you can say, "The effect was eye-popping," or "The sound effects were amazing," or "The rain had no effect on Amy's hairdo."
Examples of Affect and Effect
Here are more examples of the common uses of affect and effect:
Effect as a noun
Squiggly marveled at the effect fishing had on Aardvark's mood.
Aardvark wondered whether the heat was having an effect on the fish.
Affect as a verb
Squiggly wished that beans didn't affect his stomach so much.
Aardvark's grumpiness affected everyone else's mood last night.
Common Uses of Affect and Effect
Most of the time, affect is a verb and effect is a noun.
There are rare instances where the roles are switched, and I'll get to those later, but for now let's focus on the common meanings. This is "Quick and Dirty" grammar, and my impression from your questions is that most people have trouble remembering the basic rules of when to use these words, so if you stick with those, you'll be right 95% of the time.
So, most of the time, affect with an a is a verb and effect with an e is a noun; and now we can get to the mnemonics. First, the mnemonic involves a very easy noun to help you remember: aardvark. Yes, if you can remember aardvark—a very easy noun—you'll always remember that affect with an a is a verb and effect with an e is a noun. Why? Because the first letters of "a very easy noun" are the same first letters as "affect verb effect noun!" That's a very easy noun. Affect (with an a) verb effect (with an e) noun.
"But why Aardvark?" you ask. Because there's also an example to help you remember. It's "The arrows affected Aardvark. The effect was eye-popping." It should be easy to remember that affect with an a goes with the a-words, arrow and aardvark, and that effect with an e goes with the e-word, eye-popping. If you can visualize the sentences, "The arrows affected the aardvark. The effect was eye-popping," it's pretty easy to see that affect with an a is a verb and effect with an e is a noun.
The illustration of the example is from my new book. It's Aardvark being affected by arrows, and I think looking at it will help you remember the example sentences; and it's cute. You can print it out and hang it by your desk.
So a very easy noun will help you remember that affect with an a is a verb and effect with an e is a noun, and the example will help you see how to use both words in a sentence.

In the excitement and chaos of prepping for baby, it's easy to make dad an observer instead of an active part of the pregnancy process. This Father's Day, appreciate the man in your life by keeping pregnancy a team effort. Having his help in shouldering the expectant load will minimize stress and bring the two of you closer together in those months before baby arrives. Here are a few ways to ensure that dad stays off the bench and in the game:
Knowledge is power
Keep dad well informed with a helpful handbook geared specifically towards the expectant father.Some of our favorites include:Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads by Gary Greenberg and Jeannie Hayden, The Baby Owner's Manual by Louis and Joe Borgenicht, andPacify Me: A Handbook for the Freaked-Out New Dad by Chris Mancini.
Parenting prep
Make doctors appointments and birthing classes a couple's activity to ensure that both of you are in the know about your developing baby and what the birthing process will entail.
De-stress together
In those last weeks before your baby is due, make an appointment for a couple's massage. You'll both enjoy the benefits of therapeutic pampering and leave feeling relaxed and ready to conquer parenthood.
Give him a place in your birth plan
One of the most popular tasks given to new dads in the delivery room is the documentation of your little one's birth. Whether it's through pictures or video, having a record of your baby's delivery and the moments leading up to it is something both mom and dad will treasure.
