International Student Payments
International Payments to the University of North Carolina Wilmington Just Got Easier !
The most efficient means for an international student or any student using an international bank account to pay student fees is through Travelex's Bank to Bank Transfer. This option allows you to pay the U.S. dollar student fees in the currency of your choice and provides you with a simple and secure way of initiating a payment electronically.
Advantages of using Travelex's Bank to Bank Transfer include:
- You make your payment in the currency of your choice which will then be converted to U.S. Dollars.
- There are NO transaction charges from Travelex or from UNCW, though you may be charged a transaction fee by your bank.
- The exchange rate is valid for 72 hours after you have initiated the transaction. Your confirmation and payment must be received by Travelex within that period.
- The exchange rate is competitive when compared to retail rates of your financial institution and for many students their bank service fees are also reduced because the transaction is being initiated as a local transfer.
- Payments received will include your reference information and will ensure that your payment reaches your student account quickly.
Step 1: Go to Travelex
Step 2: Process Payment
- enter student details (name, ID number)
- enter amount of U.S. Dollars to pay – Please pay the "Current Account Status" amount due in E-bill
- select payment currency – If your local currency is not an option available in the form, you will need to choose another currency on the list in order to arrange your Bank to Bank transfer.
- finalize transaction
Step 3: Bank Transfer
- take confirmation page to your local bank within 72 hours to hold your currency rate
- local bank to transfer funds to Travelex
Step 4: Payment Finalized
- UNCW will post the U.S. Dollar equivalent to your student account – Please check E-bill for confirmation of your payment. Please allow several business days for payment to be reflected in E-bill.

But you're still assigning detriments to the woman that are used for an excuse not to hire a woman. So she needs time off to have a child and recover. Don't men ever have prostate surgery? Doesn't insurance have to cover men's health issues? And to say that she'll need more time off to care for a sick child is a great example of exactly what we're talking about. It's not automatically the woman anymore. When my daughter's children are sick, they choose who stays home based on who can get away from their job more easily at that time. Also, by using these same standards for men, wouldn't a childless man get the job over a man with children? Somehow, that never seems to get taken into account then.
Also, health insurance is generally offered as family insurance. If the male employee is married, there is still coverage for pregnancy and children's health due to a family plan. Therefore married employees insurance cost more for an employer regardless of gender because it covers all family members. Should we discriminate against married workers because they are more expensive? Feminism to me means equality in terms of opportunity. Not all men are created equal either. Some people have much higher I.Q.'s than others. Some are more outgoing and better in public relations jobs than others. Some are taller, shorter, fatter, skinnier, etc. Not all women are able to have children, nor do they all get married. The workplace has become more flexible than it was in the past. Many employers are amenable to their employees working from home which would do away with any issues of taking time off (most new mothers are able to sit at a computer within a couple of days of giving birth in my experience). The barriers that people worry about are really not there. As to the truck driver analogy, the male employee could have a heart attack or a stroke without warning. Women are less likely to have those type of health issues until after menopause. We should not base our opinions of employees on what MIGHT happen because we could all get hit by a truck tomorrow.

Maybe the problem is that money is valued over quality of life, particularly when it comes to the lives of women and children. I hear a lot of talk about family values, the importance of the family, etc., etc., but unfortunately we live iin a world where the actuality of women having children is seen as an inconvenience to employers, an impediment to the profit motive that drives our society. As long as we remain fixated on profit, we'll run up against the same question Dick posed, and he's right, in a world where money is paramount, the bearing and raising of children will always disrupt the almighty bottom line. We can be equal under the law, but when women have to compete by male rules--to be pseudo-men in order to succeed--well, that contest is rigged from the start.

Once upon a time, many years ago when I was young, and I thought of myself as a feminist, I thought the point of feminism was that people should be treated as individuals, and considered in terms of their own peculiar talents and abilities, regardless of gender, race, age, ethnicity, or any of those accidentals over which we have no control.
The world has not lived up to my expectations. Now I think of myself as a crotchety old lady.

I'm a curmudgeonly old man. And, if I've learned anything getting to that point, it's that -isms always turn immoderate. If we all truly considered the matter of equality, few of us would want it, I think. Like everything else, it's best taken in moderation along with a healthy dose of stoic realism.

Well, Dick, you're right about "-isms." But I don't see an -ism in equality. And if realism means accepting that we live in a male-dominated world where women, because they have the babies and are responsible for raising them, are by some twisted logic considered second rate, then give me idealism any day.

Realism is the best "-ism" worth pursuing in this life. Well said.

Love The Scent
I received this as a gift from my bosses mother and the scent just blew me away it smelled so flowery and comforting. Its a strong scent so if you have a sensitive nose be careful. The scent lingers for a while so while you're sitting or even walking around you get this burst of beautiful fragrance. I love it. I will buy this again likely in the body lotion form though.
Was this review helpful?
Yes No
Love this scent
This scent to me is a very classy scent. Very soft but fragrant. Using this alone makes you smell as if you layered it with the other products. Love it!
excellent hand lotion
This lotion was originally a gift. Have been using it ever since. Have gifted it to others; they're always delighted with the fragrance. It always pleases.
Fabulous fragrance
Have used this product in the past and continue to enjoy them all.Price is a bit high. Thank you.
I Just Have to Keep Goldleaf on Hand
For nearly 10 years now, I have loved Goldleaf. I admit to flirting with other fragrances. I get attached to other fragrances. But at heart, I think I'm a Goldleaf Girl. Depending upon the personality I want to project, I have to keep quite a collection of Thymes products. When I want cool confidence, I use Jade Matcha. When I want playful and casual, I use Rosewood Citron. When I'm a bit gloomy and need a lift, I use Clary Sage Tea. When I want to forget my working personality and be my quiet feminine self, I use Temple Tree Jasmine and Tiare Monoi. When I'm needing all this and more, I use Kimono Rose. But when asked for my ultimate favorite, I think I'm most faithful to Goldleaf. Many of my friends say it's most "me." And the man who loved me most, the man I will miss forever because he was taken from this world too young, loved me best in Goldleaf. So, yes, I try to move on, but Goldleaf will always be one of the Thymes treasures I keep on hand. (In memory of Colin KH Chun.)

ZF-1874: Zend_Pdf fails with some freware TTF fonts
Zend_Pdf fails with some freware barcode fonts ([http://www.squaregear.net/fonts/free3of9.shtml]).
It throws an exception:

The interesting thing is that if this font is converted to another format and then back to the TTF, then it works proper.
An example of converted font
Interestingly enough, I've been hanging out to post the same issue regarding 'Courier New'. (COUR.TTF)

(Trace truncated thanks to syslog)
I'll try converting it to pfa and back and see if it helps; sadly I'm not sufficiently familiar with TTF and company to know where to start for a patch.
Much as I'd love to post a copy of the font, I don't think Microsoft class it as freeware just yet.
Thanks for the info Mike!
Could you also attach font to the issue (if it's allowed by font license)?
It would seem they are available for download from http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/… (As I understand it, the license does not allow distribution other than in their original form.)
The file can be extracted using cabextract on non-Windows platforms.
cour.ttf in that particular package is 2.82, which exhibits the behavior; as does 2.9, which I tried from one of the local Windows XP installations.
Hope that helps,
I'm encountering the same issue with the freeware OCR-B font from http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/software/ocrb.php Any solution to this problem so far? If not, is there any other freeware OCR font that works with Zend_Pdf_Resource_Font?
There was a problem in glyph width array processing. It may contain less elements than glyphs are presented in the font. Last element contains width for the rest of glyphs list.

ZF-11959: No such file or directory: Zend\Gdata\Calendar\Extension\EventQuery.php
Please see this bug, i think it's a regression bug http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/…
Accessing google calendar my error log gives me include_once(Zend\Gdata\Calendar\Extension\EventQuery.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\www\www\gestionale\library\Zend\Loader.php : 146
include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'Zend\Gdata\Calendar\Extension\EventQuery.php' for inclusion (include_path='C:\www\www\gestionale\application/../library;C:\www\www\gestionale\library;.;C:\php\pear') in C:\www\www\gestionale\library\Zend\Loader.php : 146 but the application works anyway.
I am using Windows 7 environment, so it is not a case sensitive problem
Could you provide some code which reproduces your issue?
There is not {{Zend_Gdata_Calendar_Extension_EventQuery}} class in the framework. There is, however, a {{Zend_Gdata_Calendar_EventQuery}} class.
$service = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($email, $password, Zend_Gdata_Calendar::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME );
if (is_a($service, 'Zend_Gdata_HttpClient'))
try {
$service = new Zend_Gdata_Calendar($service);
$calendars = $service->getCalendarListFeed();
foreach($calendars as $calendar)
if ($calendar->title == $email)
$query = $service->newEventQuery(); ///=> here goes the erorr
Could you please provide a use case example? A small snippet of the framework code without a file name and line number doesn't really help narrow down where the problem is coming from.
You can try the following code
$this->_service = \Zend_Gdata_Calendar::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
$this->_client = \Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient(USER, PASS, $this->_service);
$this->_client->setConfig(array('keepalive' => true));
$this->_service = new \Zend_Gdata_Calendar($this->_client);
$this->defaultQuery = $this->_service->newEventQuery();
It was reported on StackOverflow
I did some digging.
In Zend/Gdata/App.php version 1.11.11, lines 1047 to 1058:
1046 foreach ($this->_registeredPackages as $name) {
1047 try {
1048 // Autoloading disabled on next line for compatibility
1049 // with magic factories. See ZF-6660.
1050 if (!class_exists($name . '_' . $class, false)) {
1051 require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
1052 @Zend_Loader::loadClass($name . '_' . $class);
1053 }
1054 $foundClassName = $name . '_' . $class;
1055 break;
1056 } catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
1057 // package wasn't here- continue searching
1058 }
1059 }
The class relies on the loader to throw a Zend_Exception if the file / class it tries to load doesn't exist, or just suppresses the error with the
@ symbol.
Simplified, I have the following code:
function errorFunction($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
throw new ErrorException($errstr, 0, $errno, $errfile, $errline);
This clearly doesn't honour the error suppression, and produces the above mentioned error.
This can be fixed for a lot of users by also catching the
ErrorException and doing nothing with it, just like the
The simpler fix would be to not throw (non-fatal) E_NOTICE raises as (fatal) ErrorException. That said, I don't see any problem with catching and ignoring ErrorException here, as chances are that if the file being loaded has errors we're not going to want to use it anyway.
I've attached a fix and unit test that implements the suggested workaround. Personally, I would prefer that end users not throw E_NOTICE as an exception, but that's just me. I'll leave it up to the maintainer of Zend_Gdata or the CR Team to decide if the patch should be applied to the next release.
Not throwing an exception for notices makes sense, but I see in the ZF2 code they cover all their bases just by catching the base Exception class.
It might be a better (simpler) solution than the one I proposed.
Patch applied on trunk (25062) and release-1.12 (25063)
This error still exists in 1.12.1 Zend_Gdata

If your company is open during the holidays (or even if you're printing your own Christmas cards), it pays to take care of your printers. Printers are very useful tools during the holiday season, and functional ink cartridges are the key to all the beautiful images we see in holiday-related media.
Here are our tips for the caring and keeping of printer ink cartridges:
1. Store printer cartridges properly after purchase.
If you are not going to use a cartridge immediately, make sure it is kept in the original packaging that it came in (if it is in good condition and the seal is not broken). Be careful to not store the cartridge in conditions that are too warm — this can lead to the ink expanding, which can lead to leaks. The print head must also face upwards to prevent leaks, and to protect it.
Special Note: If the cartridge has been taken out of its packaging, make sure you find some sort of packaging to protect it. Also, make sure never to store different colored inks together — if one leaks, you can lose both cartridges.
2. Make sure printer cartridges don't dry out.
Looking after your ink cartridge doesn't stop the moment you put it in the printer. Regular maintenance needs to be carried out, to make sure the ink doesn't dry up within the cartridge. Dried-out ink cartridges can cause harm to your printer, if you try to use it, with dry ink.
To stop your printer ink cartridges from becoming dry, use your printer at least once a week. Most printers have a test button which will print out one page using all of the inks, which will test the status of all the ink cartridges.
3. Work to prevent printer cartridge clogs.
A common mishap with printers is clogged printer ink cartridge heads. To prevent this, wipe the print heads of your cartridges (after removing them from the printer, of course!) with a damp linen cloth. This method should be completed every month, because it will help your printer and cartridges produce more quality prints for a longer period of time.

Foomatic FAQ
General Questions
In which forum should I ask Foomatic-related questions?
Forum: LF OpenPrinting Site Support
What is foomatic?
Foomatic is a system that creates a PPD file from a database.
The PPDs are created by the foomatic-db-engine package, the database resides in the package foomatic-db, and to make the PPDs working with all common printing systems the universal filter foomatic-rip (from the foomatic-filters package) is needed.
What are cupsomatic? lpdomatic? pdqomatic?
These were scripts that connect PPD's to the specific named
spooler. With introduction of Foomatic 3.x the *omatic scripts are unified into a single script
called foomatic-rip.
How do I use unprintable margins with gimp-print?
If you are using Gimp-Print 4.3.7, you need to apply the
following two patches to get generation of the "*ImageableArea" lines
in the Foomatic PPD files and to work around a bug in the Gimp-Print
database of printer capabilities:
Without the first patch you cannot compile Gimp-Print 4.3.7 at all due
to two files being forgotten to be added to the tarball.
If you use Gimp-Print 4.3.x from CVS, please update from the CVS
again, as my first upload of unprintable margin support was broken.
Also update the CVS of "foomatic-db-engine", I have fixed a small
bug there.

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: Russo's memoir; life and death entwined in a novel; short stories by the author of Room; and new poetry by Sharon Olds.
Elsewhere by Richard Russo
A memoir by a fine storyteller, mostly about his troubled mother and their deeply tangled relationship. She was divorced and "independent" (her words) at a time when this wasn't acceptable. Her only son was "her rock." Gloversville, their home town, was "a cage" and they both broke out of it when he went to college. (He didn't realize she'd be coming along.) He got married, had a family, taught, and became a writer, but his mother was always his responsibility and a great challenge. Not until the final chapters do we find out the reason for her bizarre, contrarian ways. Very moving--such loyalty and understanding amidst nightmare circumstances.
One Last Thing Before I Go by Jonathan Tropper
Silver is a drummer on the skids, living at the Versailles (a funky motel turned residence), hanging out with equally funky friends. He's estranged from his college-bound daughter, Casey, and his ex is engaged to a doctor. What will roust him from this slough? Mortality--it really gets one's attention. He has a condition that can be fixed by surgery, but he decides to hell with it. At the same time Casey gets knocked up. Life and death have many skirmishes, with an operation and an abortion being considered. Silver's father, a rabbi, drags him to various rites of passage (lots of opportunities for humor here, well played out). Delightful, and eventually L'Chaim will out. Phew!
Astray by Emma Donoghue
Short stories by this always surprising Irish-Canadian author whose books take place in many eras and deal with, shall we say, challenging themes. (Her most recent, Room, is a tour de force of believable improbability.) Here she takes old news fragments and spins each into a gripping tale. The elephant Jumbo and his keeper--an intimate relationship. Two ill-fated Gold Rush miners in their misery. An orphan train child yearned for by the mother who had to give her up. The woman who discovers, on his death, that her daddy was a woman! The common theme: dislocation, which the author, in her Afterward, acknowledges as a major preoccupation in her life. Good stuff.
Stag's Leap by Sharon Olds
I was blown away by this book of poems about the end of a long marriage. It unfolds from the first revelations at the beginning of a year through the seasons and then from a considerable distance. Very accessible, visceral, and always with a finely layered mix of hurt, regret, longing, and tenderness. (He left her for a colleague, we learn from the text. He's a doctor.) These poems are for anyone who's lost something precious, i.e. for everyone. Well she lost a husband but gained a fine body of work and, as the last lines in the last poem say, "I did not leave him, he did not leave me,/ I freed him, he freed me."
Back next Monday.

ASU Media Relations
Starting the season with a huge individual victory and leading his squad to the team title at the George Kyte Invitational three weekends ago in Flagstaff, redshirt junior Darius Terry looks to be setting the pace for the Arizona State University men's cross country team this season.
Terry, a fairly new member to the Sun Devil cross country team, transferred to Arizona State after running his first two collegiate years at Northern Arizona University. Since the transfer, Terry has been progressively making his mark in ASU's history books.
Last year, Terry became the first-ever Sun Devil to be an All-American in the 1,500-meter run after he finished 10th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, earning second team honors. He also placed 23rd overall at the Pac-10 Cross-Country Championships last year.
His success has only grown since the end of last season. The George Kyte Invitational was the first, but certainly not the last, example of what is to come from this talented young man.
"He is leader out there," comments team captain Daniel Lovell. "He doesn't complain about anything. He just comes straight to practice and gets straight to work."
Lovell relies on Terry's leadership - not by voice but by action - to act as a role model for both the freshmen and newcomers this year as well as the entire team. This work ethic is the means behind Terry's accomplishments so far and the drive that, according to Lovell, "[will] help our group get to nationals, [which is] the ultimate goal for the year."
It hasn't always been an easy road for the young student-athlete, as he had to overcome an obstacle that many young people struggle with today: a lack of confidence. Transferring form NAU, Terry's confidence level became his biggest challenge.
"I was training really well, working out well [at NAU], but I wasn't confident going into the races," Terry said.
However, with help from ASU head men's cross country coach Louie Quintana, Terry looks to have been able to make the leap and get over that bump in his career.
Quintana, who used to oversee the entire cross country program as head coach for the women as well, has transitioned to a role as solely being the men's coach - a move that allows him to dedicate more time to his student-athletes and a move that looks to have already paid it's dividends if the team's early-season performances are any indication.
"Coach Louie got me in races, performing well and just built my confidence as the season went on," Terry said of his coach.
Even with overcoming his own confidence problems, the transition has been challenging for Terry. Last year was technically Terry's first year competing in races against Division IA opponents. Still, Terry took the challenge in stride, as demonstrated by becoming the first Sun Devil All-American at 1,500 meters in school history.
"He has made huge, huge improvements this year," Quintana noted, "[He] has been able to do more mileage this year and just has more confidence."
This newfound confidence is the formula that is propelling Terry and the team towards the NCAA championship and Quintana doesn't hesitate to state his value to the team's success.
"As he goes, so goes the team," Quintana remarks.
Terry's focus right now is just doing what he is trained to do - and that's to go out and run and run to the best of his potential.
"I just have to go into the races and be confident," Terry said. His focus and mindset, he hopes, will carry the team to a top-three ranking in this weekend's Roy Griak Invite in Minneapolis and ultimately another All-America accolade.
To become an All-American - a top-forty finish at the NCAA Championships in November - "is really hard to do," according Quintana, but something that he knows Terry can accomplish.
"Based on workouts he has done over the past four weeks, I anticipate him making a major jump on the national scene," Quintana said.
As the season speeds on, this talented junior continues to inspire his teammates and coaches with his extraordinary work ethic and vast determination. Darius Terry is setting the pace for victory with the Sun Devils striding right behind him.

Playwright of a new musical JUDY GARLAND - World's Greatest Entertainer. This show is a takeoff of the '70's tv show THIS IS YOUR LIFE. But Judy's guests are Liza, Frank and Dean. The 4 of them sing their signature tunes. Opening in April 2015
CANDLELIGHT THEATRE: April 24,25,26 & May 1,2,3 302.475.2313
baby grand Mother's Day May 10 matinee and evening performance (Mom loved Judy, Frank & Dean) 800.37.Grand
The Milton (DE) Theatre May 16 302.684.3038
A commendable trait of any live performing venue is professional consistency. Aisle Say has attended the opening nights of New Candlelight Theatre for at least 3 years. The undeviating norm has been effervescent casts who bleed for their craft, challenging and inventive choreography, innovative sets (on an unforgiving smallish stage), colorful costumes and cheerful servers who themselves are cast members.
NCT has established a coterie of diverse triple threat performers that the audience does not mind seeing time and again. However, with LEGALLY BLOND, there are very few recognizable faces. This new group of talent is generated by Director/Choreographer Dann Dunn, the dynamic dance dude with national credits. In fact, he worked with the original Broadway cast and crew of LEGALLY BLOND in 2007.
As is commented on in the show, every tragedy needs a Greek Chorus. As everyone of us with a modicum of empathy acknowledges, there is a singular tragedy of being blond!
Elle Woods (Taylor Elise Rector) faces this dread onus every morning looking in the mirror. However, there is no more loyal or faithful member of Delta Nu Sorority than Elle. And, once she is at Harvard Law, no one with a greater moral compass. I suppose there could be a more wonderful and versatile actor to sing and dance this character, I simply cannot think of one. She is dynamite. She explodes from the sorority house in the first number and keeps the taper lit the entire show.
It would be facile to say she alone is worth the price of admission (and the best dinner/theatrical value in the state), but that is not the case. This entire cast is superb. It is impossible not to fall in love with the movie. It is equally inconceivable not to love this production.
Paulette (Jennie Knackstedt), owner of the hair salon, sings a plaintive "Ireland" about an unrequited love. Then the man of her dreams - the dude with the great package - Kyle (Jonathan Elliot Coarsey) comes through the door. That revelation leads to a rousing and drop dead funny dance number, "Bend and Snap".
The stage production follows the movie almost faithfully. Brooke Wyndham (the incredibly athletic and high kicking Kelly Boeckle) is accused of murdering her husband and Elle's law firm must defend.
The music and lyrics are melodic and creative. One of the tunes "Blood In The Water" is recitative and expertly recited by Callahan (Fernando Gonzalez).
The courtroom song "(Is He) Gay or European" opens wide the stereotypes and prejudices that many retain with the two mentioned groups. Yet it too is consistent in its destruction of yet another shibboleth...that of being blond.

Terre Haute, Ind. – The University of Arizona Wildcat women's cross country team entered the NCAA Championships ranked No. 2 in the country and they ended up earning a second-place finish overall. The race took place on Nov. 23 at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center in Terre Haute, Ind. The Wildcats earned a runner-up finish and had two student-athletes earn All-America honors. It was the best NCAA finish in school history for the women. The Wildcats braved incredibly challenging weather conditions, the temperature was around 30 degrees and there was mud throughout the course. They moved the start line up 100 meters because the initial line was riddled with puddles. Technically, the women ran 5,900 meters rather than 6,000. It is the second-straight year the Wildcats have had two women earn NCAA All-America honors.
Providence won with 141 points and Arizona took second place with 197 points. Butler's tally of 200 points was good for third place. Michigan took fourth place with 215 points. Those four teams all received trophies.
"It was really, really difficult conditions for us," head coach James Li said. "It was cold and muddy on the course. The ladies all came through and fought so hard, worked so hard and I'm just really proud of them. I'm proud of them for what they did today, which is definitely very special. But I am also proud of them for this entire season. They came together and worked really hard and focused for the whole season. They never relented on the goal to of coming to the NCAA Championships and doing well."
Senior Elvin Kibet earned All-America honors for the second-straight season. She led the Wildcats on Saturday with a 15th-place finish (10 points) and clocked a time of 20:27.7. Junior Nicci Corbin earned All-America honors as well, finishing in 22nd place (13 points) with a time of 20:33.0. Freshman Maria Larsson just missed earning All-America accolades; only the top 40 finishers are recognized. Larsson took 42nd place (26 points) and posted a time of 20:47.5. Sophomore Kayla Beattie finished in 90th place overall (64 points) and clocked a time of 21:15.9. Junior Stephanie Bulder was the final scorer for the Wildcats; she finished in 112th place (84 points) and posted a time of 21:24.3. Senior Erin Menefee took 163rd place with a time of 21:44.9. Junior Hanna Peterson took 248th place and clocked a time of 23:03.3.
"I'm really proud of the girls," Kibet said. "The goal coming into the meet was to win it, we didn't do that, and some of us didn't have our best races. Kayla (Beattie) fell, for example, but we all ran hard and fought. It was definitely not the best conditions for us. I'm really proud of the girls and the coaches, they did a great job and I'm really happy. I wanted to finish a little bit better but I'm still happy. I wanted to be an All-American and finish in the top 10 but 15th place isn't too bad. Finishing my final cross country season with 15th place, I'll take it."
Freshman Edward Cheserek of Oregon won the men's individual title. Colorado won the men's team title with 149 points. Northern Arizona took second place with 169 points. Oklahoma State's tally of 230 points was good for third place. BYU finished in fourth place and totaled 267 points.

As a Democrat running against the immensely well-funded incumbent Gary Herbert, Peter Cooke could have expected to get, what, 1,500 votes?
Now, that Cooke has come out against gay marriage and abortion rights, he can count on 350—give or take if his mom shows up.
Cooke proclaimed he's committed to "Utah values," which translates to "Ixnay on the discussion of same-sex marriage or abortion rights." He explained the obvious:
"I am not the typical Democrat."
Last one out of Cooke's campaign headquarters, turn out the lights.
I've corrected this blog item in regards to Peter Cooke's stand on adoptions by same-sex couples.
Jan Hemming, spokeswoman for Cooke, informed me that:
Peter Cooke favors gay adoptions. And he also mentioned in his remarks Monday that he wants Utah to pass a statewide nondiscrimination law.

Women's Squash Clinches Share Of Ivy Title, Will Seek Outright Crown Sunday
The top-ranked Princeton Tigers moved to 10-0 on the season, 6-0 in Ivy play, and can clinch the outright title Sunday at noon in a home showdown against Columbia on Senior Day. The previously scheduled Saturday match at No. 4 Trinity has been cancelled due to the winter storm.
Cornell, which nearly upset Trinity earlier this season, kept things exciting through the opening shift. While Princeton got wins from Lexi Saunders (No. 6) and Hallie Dewey (No. 9), Cornell's Jamie Laird overcame a 2-1 deficit to score a 3-2 win over Nicole Bunyan in a match that included a 16-14 fourth game.
The middle shift had its own drama, but the Tigers took care of business. Freshman Tara Harrington split the opening two games at the No. 8 spot before winning 11-2 and 11-3 to take the match, while sophomore Alex Lunt held on for a 12-10 win in the opener at No. 5 before rolling off a pair of 11-2 wins.
Junior Libby Eyre won in four tough games at No. 2, including an 11-6 victory in the fourth game. However, the two quicker matches in the middle shift allowed freshman Rachel Leizman to earn the match-clinching win at No. 4; she topped Abbey Foster 11-9, 11-8, 11-5 to grab Princeton's fifth victory of the night.
Princeton finished the match with a 3-1 win from senior Julie Cerullo at the No. 1 spot, as well as a 3-0 win for junior Alex Sawin at No. 7.
This is Princeton's first Ivy League title since 2009, and its third over the last seven seasons. During that time, the Tigers have won three Howe Cup national team titles (2007, 2008, 2009), and they will seek a fourth crown next weekend when the nation's best teams head to Yale for the 2013 championship weekend.
But there is work to be done in the Ivy League first. After such a dramatic season, including a saved match ball in the 5-4 win over Harvard, the Tigers have no interest in sharing the 2013 Ivy title.

And keep in mind Hornsby did explain his legitimate connection to a handful of the covers, including Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," - Rogers Waters once asked him to sing it in Spain - and part of the vast Jerry Garcia songbook, "I Truly Understand." But it was discomfiting when the two songs got arguably the biggest reactions of the night, even after hot versions of Hornsby standards like "Prairie Dog Town," and "Jacob's Ladder." And couple that with the fact there were about 10 times the number of Grateful Dead T-shirts in the crowd - thanks to Hornsby's roughly two-year stint with those guys in the '90s - than Hornsby regalia and you felt a bit like you were waiting to see songs other than the keyboardist's originals.
On the plus side, Hornsby's band, The Noisemakers, is a way livelier and funkier group than one might expect if you've only heard his radio hits. Bassist J.V. Collier, whose contributions kept the band in the pocket, along with drummer Sonny Emory, particularly shined during "Spider Fingers" and "Candy Mountain Run."
This was the second night of a Western tour pairing Hornsby with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, which were granted a 90-minute "opening" slot in which they played their vaguely funky, wandering instrumentals that are fine displays of musicianship, but don't really stand out as songs. But, that doesn't detract from getting to watch Fleck's king-of-the-hill bassist Victor Wooten. (If you don't know how good Wooten is, check him on youtube, you'll gasp).
Better than any of Fleck's own set were his guest turns during Hornsby's set, including "The Way It Is," and "Mandolin Rain." Fleck is widely regarded as one of the best banjo players in the world and it was easy to see why.
With that said, when both bands were on stage and wedged Weather Report's 1970s jazz-fusion classic "Birdland" into the middle of a bluegrass song, as part of the encore, it was tough not to be impressed. But while watching the near capacity song yell in appreciation, it was also tough not to feel a bit sad.

John Shuff and his lovely bride, Margaret Mary, circa 1960
Like death and taxes, spring always arrives—even in South Florida when you think things can't get much better than the winter season. When I was growing up in Cincinnati, the first signs of spring were the tiny buds on our magnolia trees in the backyard, the patches of green grass struggling to emerge from underneath the melting snow, the smell of mom's apple cobbler cooling on the sill of her open kitchen window.
Spring is my brothers in the driveway with no shirts on, holding the garden hose, washing winter away from the family's Buick Roadmaster. Raising hell was turning the hose on one another as we danced through the spray (and yes, we drank the water from it—not from a bottle—and no one got sick). I can still see my brothers climbing the leafless trees in the woods behind our home. We had a few sprained ankles and a variety of cuts and bruises. We wore no helmets nor arm pads, and somehow we all survived. Spring was my dad buying bags of peat moss and fertilizer for his soon-to-be-reawakened garden. It was returning to South Bend from spring break to be with my girl, Margaret Mary Scanlan, an undergrad at St. Mary's College. I was nuts about her and loved her company—still do. We met almost every evening, meandering everywhere hand-in-hand. I snuck a kiss or two and dreamed of the day when we would be together forever.
By spring break my cash flow was usually depleted, so I would apply my Marketing 101 course—"How to Hitchhike"—and "thumbed" it from South Bend to Cincinnati to save money. The trip wound through beautiful Indiana and usually took seven hours. I took Route 31 south to Indianapolis from Notre Dame to the Route 100 bypass and headed for home. I picked this route because there was a hamburger stand that bragged it had sold "over 1 million burgers." It was my first encounter with McDonald's, and since 1958 my affinity for their burgers has continued.
Hitchhiking is pretty much impossible today, but even back then it was tough. There were no interstate highways, just two-lane country roads. I had to make it easy for someone to pick me up and not feel threatened. To merchandise myself, I made a huge sign that read "Notre Dame to Cincinnati" and wore a shirt and tie. It really worked! Drivers who picked me up always commented on my appearance. It never failed and speaks to the validity of the saying, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
Spring is here again, and it's a season I still love, even though the hormones no longer rage with the intensity and passion of youth. The independence and freedom represented by those carefree springs has now been superceded by the same beautiful days embroidered with the complexities of adult life. But there are lessons from those wistful spring days that can energize the spirit—and bring a smile to your face. Dream this spring. Dream like you did as a kid. Dream the impossible. Visualize your thoughts and make them live. Dream big and have the courage to fail—it will be good for your soul. And then sneak a kiss, maybe two. I promise it will rekindle an old flame that has long been burning.

Daily News: Renovated Pauley Pavilion set to open next month
The UCLA men's basketball team has been ranked No. 11 in the nation by The Sporting News in its collection of preseason top 25 teams, as announced on Tuesday.
The Bruins went 19-14 last season and finished in a fifth-place tie in the Pac-12 Conference, sporting an 11-7 mark in league action. UCLA returns two starters (David Wear, Travis Wear) from last year's team and welcomes a recruiting class ranked No. 1, nationally, by ESPN.com and No. 2 by Scout.com and Rivals.com.
Other key returners for UCLA include juniors Joshua Smith and Tyler Lamb and sophomore Norman Powell, each of which played major minutes for the Bruins in 2011-12.
UCLA's talented incoming class features guards Shabazz Muhammad (Las Vegas, Nev.), Kyle Anderson (Fairview, N.J.) and Jordan Adams (Lawrenceville, Ga.), along with forward/center Tony Parker (Lithonia, Ga.).
The Bruins open the 2012-13 season in New Pauley Pavilion against Indiana State on Friday, Nov. 9. The game will be televised nationally on Fox Sports Net and is scheduled for an 8 p.m. tip-off.
The Sporting News - Preseason Top 25
Incoming freshman baseball player Ty Moore will have be honored tomorrow night by having his number 29 jersey retired by Mater Dei High School.
Moore twice was named the Orange County Player of the Year and earned CIF and Gatorade State Player of the Year honors as a senior. During his senior year, he hit .406 with 23 RBI and 10 stolen bases while also pitching and going 12-1 with a 0.83 ERA in 67.1 innings pitched. In addition, he registered 71 strikeouts to just 22 walks during his senior season.
Over the summer, he was drafted in the 25th round by the New York Yankees but did not sign and chose to come to UCLA. He competed for the Wenatchee Applesox of the West Coast League, hitting .309 with 36 runs and 20 RBI while leading the Applesox to the West Coast League title.
PHOENIX - Former UCLA standout pitcher Trevor Bauer earned his first major league victory on Sunday afternoon, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks past the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-1, in his third major league start.
The native of Valencia, Calif., pitched six scoreless innings and scattered just two hits as Arizona pulled within four games of the first-place Dodgers in the National League West standings. Bauer (1-1) finished with six strikeouts and one walk, retiring the final 12 batters he faced.
Bauer, 21, became the second-youngest UCLA player to record a major league victory. Dick Conger secured his first major league win less than three weeks after turning 21 years old with the Detroit Tigers in 1940.
Bauer made his major league debut for Arizona at Atlanta's Turner Field on June 28 and did not earn a decision on that start. In that game, he became the second-youngest UCLA player to make his major league debut (Conger's major league debut came at 21 years, 19 days).
Bauer became UCLA's first-ever Golden Spikes Award winner in 2011 after going 13-2 with a 1.25 ERA and nation-leading 203 strikeouts in 136.2 innings. The native of Valencia, Calif., was selected third overall in the 2011 MLB Draft by Arizona.
Earlier this season, Bauer went 11-1 with a 2.23 ERA in 16 starts between double-A (Mobile) and triple-A (Reno) this season. Pitching for triple-A Reno, Bauer went 4-0 with a 2.82 ERA, 56 strikeouts and 22 walks in 44.2 innings (eight starts).
Bauer finished his three-year collegiate career with a 34-8 record and 2.36 ERA, having logged 460 strikeouts in 373.1 innings. He established himself as UCLA's career leader in victories (34), strikeouts (460) and innings (373.1). As a starting pitcher, he posted a 32-5 career record in 44 starts.
Former UCLA basketball player Jrue Holiday has been added to the 2012 USA Men's Select Team that will train July 6-11 against the 2012 USA Basketball Men's National Team during training camp in Las Vegas, Nev.
A three-year point guard with the Philadelphia 76ers, Holiday has become the 15th player USA Basketball has named to the USA Select squad. As a freshman at UCLA in 2008-09, Holiday averaged 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, starting all 35 games for the Bruins.
"In naming Jrue to our Select Team, we've added an athletic guard who can get to the rim and someone who is also a good 3-point shooter," said Jerry Colangelo, USA Basketball chairman. "Both of those skills will be invaluable in helping prepare out National Team for this summer."
Holiday, the 17th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft by Philadelphia, started for the 76ers in all 65 games in 2011-12 and averaged 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.6 steals. He shot 43.2 percent from the field, 38.0 percent from 3-point range and 78.3 percent from the foul line. In Philadelphia's 13 NBA playoff games in 2012, he averaged 15.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists while hitting 40.8 percent of his 3-point tries.
Holiday has two previous USA Basketball experiences. He was a member of the USA Junior National Select Team that rolled to a 98-78 win at the 2008 Nike Hoop Summit. Holiday registered 22 minutes as a starter in the game and finished with 13 points and five assists. One year earlier he was selected for the 2007 USA Basketball Youth Development Festival Blue Team that captured the silver medal.
Serving as co-head coaches of the USA Select Team are 2010 USA Basketball World Championship assistant coach Jay Triano and longtime Syracuse University assistant coach Mike Hopkins.

Help feed the hungry, while at lunch.
The Homan Heritage Community Center's Third Sunday Dinner is this Sunday with participants asked to bring canned goods and nonperishable food items.
The Stuttgart Kiwanis Club's Hunger Heroes team is hosting the collection site with member collecting the donated items from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The dinner will continue through 3 p.m.
Calvin Criner with the Holman Heritage Center said it's just one way to raise awareness of the local families who may or may not have food to eat. He said financial donations are also welcome.
Hunger Heroes team leader Amanda Holsted said the group welcomes any canned good or nonperishable food item donation, although the team is focusing on protein items, such as peanut butter, and items that are easy for children and senior citizens to open and cook, such as cans with pull tops.
The collection is part of the Stuttgart Kiwanis Club's two-month food drive for the Interfaith Community Church Ministries (ICCM) Food Bank in Stuttgart.
It's the fifth year for the food drive. The food drive ends Dec. 20, the Thursday before Christmas.

You don't hear a whole lot about women working in fields like construction, transportation and advanced manufacturing, but the Department of Labor seems ready to change that.
The department is awarding $1.8 million in grants through the Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations program, according to a news release. The grants will go to community-based organizations in six states.
"Apprenticeship programs are effective pipelines into growing industries," Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis says in the release. "But too often, these programs are not as accessible to women. The federal grants announced will better connect women with apprenticeships, helping them to gain skills in fields that offer long-term career opportunities."

Bear Grylls
Northern Ireland
"Don't be scared to dream big, and don't be afraid to be close to people. And never give up! It's the tenacious not the talented that win."
- Bear Grylls
Bear Grylls is the world's most renowned survivalist. That's just about as cool a title as you could ever hope to achieve. He has been everywhere from the top of Everest to the barrens of America (no, not Detroit, more like Nevada and Utah). But the ambitious Brit might be most proud of surviving the boardrooms of TV networks the world over. He has hit shows in America, England and beyond, and is well on his way to building a media empire.
Bear Grylls BiographyNo, Bear Grylls wasn't raised by wolves in Eastern Siberia. In fact, he was raised decidedly upper middle class by a politician father and a mother affectionately known as "Lady Grylls." It isn't exactly the kind of upbringing you'd expect a world-renowned survival expert to have, let alone one named "Bear."
He was born Edward Michael Grylls, but was given the "Bear" moniker when he was just a wee, wiggling sprog. The name stuck, so his family set out to ensure "Bear" didn't grow up to be a poet or patent lawyer. How? By enrolling him in Cub Scouts.
All that campfire and birdhouse building came in handy when a young Bear Grylls entered the British Special Forces. His grueling three-year stint laid the groundwork for his future career as a professional survivalist, but it was his nearly insatiable appetite for adventure that really set the wheels in motion.
bear grylls, adrenaline junkieAt 23, Bear Grylls became one of the youngest Britons to climb Mount Everest. He also circumnavigated the British Isles on a jet ski and crossed the North Atlantic in what amounted to an inflatable dingy. Sure, Grylls did these things because he has an obvious death wish, but often he also did them to raise awareness or money for important causes, including aiding fellow adventurers.
Part of that awareness-raising involved doing the rounds on TV talk shows. Bear's handsome mug and easygoing demeanor made him a natural in front of the camera, and offers began to pour in.
bear grylls becomes a tv starOne of his first forays onto the tube was a four-part reality show that reenacted the French Foreign Legion's basic desert training in the Sahara. It was a rather unpleasant experience, but throughout even the show's most exhausting moments, Bear Grylls's easy charisma shined through. Anyone with a clue could see the guy was going to be a star.
bear grylls takes on natureIt didn't take long for the father of three to make those star-in-the-making predictions come true. His first regular series, Born Survivor: Bear Grylls, debuted in 2006 and became a huge hit in England. Audiences loved the mix of drama, adventure, practical advice, and stunning scenery. Cable networks all over the world soon picked it up (it became known as Man vs. Wild in the U.S.).
Notorious daredevil Richard Branson had nothing on Bear Grylls, and the world was Gryll's for the taking -- all he had to do was not die in some remote corner of the world doing what it was that made him famous. Easy for dudes like Tom Cruise or the guy from House, but a real challenge for a guy who climbs and jumps off high things for a living.
bear grylls fakes it?It turns out surviving in some places was even too much for Bear Grylls. Loose lips on the set leaked evidence that Bear and his producers faked scenes and misled audiences. In particular, they labeled a horse rented from a local ranch as "wild" and claimed that Grylls was stranded on a isolated island in the South Pacific while actually filming him chilling on a Hawaiian beach. Bear dismissed the criticism by pointing out that his show was entertainment, and not an actual documentary on how to survive.
It's a shame that Bear Grylls even has to defend his survival skills. The guy once survived in the Moab desert by soaking a headband in his own urine and eating raw raven's eggs, while most of his sniveling critics wouldn't last 15 minutes without wireless internet. But this amazing guy has survived far worse things than a little bad press, and should risk his life for our enjoyment for years to come. We hope.

One of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic boasts all the best ingredients for an idyllic vacation: crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, evenings filled with merengue and dark rum, and a world-class community of resorts. But in this geographically diverse nation, which occupies the eastern half of the island of Hispaniola, there's so much more
tropical rain forests, mangrove swamps, vast desert expanses, not to mention the amazing array of opportunities for ecotourism and adventure travel.
In this fully updated edition of the guide, intrepid traveler and Dominican Republic expert Christopher J. Baker takes you on a fascinating tour of this up-and-coming eco-destination. Beginning in the bustling, historic capital city of Santo Domingo, Baker moves on to the southeast, known for the resort zones of Punta Cana and Bavaro, remote beaches, and sugar plantations. Then it's on to the spectacular, underdeveloped Semana Peninsula, famous for its whale-watching, and to the north coast, with seemingly unending beaches and "what a great life" atmosphere. Christopher Columbus's first sight of the New World was upon these shores. Another chapter explores the Valle el Cibao and the central cordillera in the Dominican Republic's mountainous interior, complete with nightlife-bustling Santiago, farmlands that produce some of the world's best cigars, and endless rain forest laced with hiking trails, and finally to the southwest, land of the Taino people, the old sugar-processing town of Barahona, wildlife- rich Lago Enriquillo, and magnificent beaches.
As in all the Traveler guides, the National Geographic Traveler: Dominican Republic includes many detailed close-ups on subjects particular to the destination, in this case including cigars, shipwrecks, and amber. Guided walks introduce historic Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata, while guided drives include a ramble around Lake Enriquillo and a loop around the gorgeous Semana Peninsula.
Christopher P. Baker has established a career as a travel writer, photographer, and lecturer. He has written several guidebooks about Cuba and Havana, as well as ones on Jamaica, The Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, and California. He is author of the National Geographic Traveler: Costa Rica (2000), the National Geographic Traveler: Cuba (2007), National Geographic Traveler: Dominican Republic (2008), and National Geographic Adventure Press's Mi Moto Fidel: Motorcycling through Castro's Cuba (2000).
The award-winning National Geographic Traveler has been enhanced with engaging new features and a contemporary redesign. Each guide begins with an introduction that enables you to sample a bit of the culture, history, and attractions before you go and plan the trip based on your own interests and length of stay.
Immerse yourself in active, in-country "Experiences" and "Off-the-Beaten-Path Excursions" you won't find anywhere else.
Other new features, such as "Insider Tips" from National Geographic photographers, writers, and experts, and "Not-To-Be-Missed" lists ensure that each visit will be memorable.
The guides' design has been simplified, opened up, and enhanced with easy-to-read tinted sections. Gorgeous color photographs, high-quality maps, and the popular walking and driving tours are still highlights of our crisp, new look.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shea752 Smells like Ginger Snaps, Tastes like Pumpkin Pie As the title says this tea initially smells like a classic tin of ginger snaps to me, but it tastes like a pumpkin pie tea or a pumpkin with cinnamon and allspice tea. The ginger is barely there in flavor. A very good cup (I have had three today!), just not quite what I was expecting. If I wanted a pumpkin spice tea I would've gotten one. Yes, I realize that pumpkin spice has ginger in it, but when ginger is in the title I expect it to have more of a zing. I had one cold cup, two hot (one with brown sugar). My favorite was steeped hot for 3 minutes and with a tsp of brown sugar. Yum. So yeah. Good tea with plenty of pumpkin, just not gingery enough for me. September 15, 2014
