Pageant past I never did it as a little girl. My mom didn't believe in that. I was 20 and at Clemson when I did it. I know they get a bad rap these days but, as I look back on it now, I know that as Miss South Carolina I got to spend the whole year going around doing public speaking and representing the United States in Japan. I received a lot of public speaking experience and it paid for the rest of my college. I played the piano as my talent, the counter melody in a jazz upped version of Stars and Stripes forever, which completely sounds cheesy and corny, but it was kind of cool. I wore this crazy ridiculous white evening gown with very large shoulder pads. My hair was very big and curly. We didn't have the products back then that we do now, so my hair was also frizzy.
On the hard news beat I became an investigative reporter after college. I felt like I was a police woman for awhile, running around the woods with cops doing drug busts. It was an incredible training ground for doing the news very fast. I did almost nine years of local news before I did entertainment news and I had my second job in Miami. I did everything myself, from operating the prompter with my foot, operating the camera as I shot my own stuff. Then got a call from my agent that led to me being hired at Access Hollywood. What's ironic is that I had grown up watching Entertainment Tonight and as I watched Mary Hart in her evening gowns, I thought she was the most glamorous woman and I thought she had the coolest job, but I never thought that would be me.
Unhostile takeover When Mary Hart [ET cohost for 29 years] told me how happy she was that I was going to replace her, I felt I had her blessing. She's such a classy lady. I watched her all the time on TV and that's what I always thought. I think the reason she's had such a long career is that she is such a class act, such a nice person. As we were taping the last show we made a pact to have a nice long girls' dinner later on. The best piece of advice I ever got from her was to just be myself, be your sweet, classy self. My goal is to make her proud.
Red carpet pressure In the beginning it was nerve-wracking, but you do get used to it. You have pressure to get everything in, and to make sure you get some good sound bites. It is a job that is always changing because you keep talking to different people, and hear new stories and interact with different people.
What's really underneath the gown I hate high heels. I'm almost 5 10 and when I'm in heels I'm 6' 2, so when I'm interviewing these actors, I almost look larger than life and freaky. But basically I don't like heels because they hurt my feet and they just aren't comfortable. I arrive in heels on the red carpet events, and wear them for the photos, but once I start interviewing and they shoot me from the waist up, I am not in high heels. I'm either in flip flops, or more likely underneath that gown and makeup, I'm barefoot."
Celebrity surprise I was eight weeks pregnant when I interviewed Madonna, and I asked if we could take a photo so I could share it with my child after she was born. Her whole face lit up, and I saw the softer side of Madonna. She had just adopted her son David, and this turned into a bonding moment. I had been nervous about interviewing her, but she was warm and motherly and very open.
Working mom guilt Michelle Obama told me a profound statement once that I've always remembered. She told me that being a working mom on the campaign trail was just one big guilt trip. And that is something I so relate to. If I turn down a work assignment because I need to do something with my kids, I feel guilty that I am letting down my boss and my job. And if I turn down my kids for my job, that is the worst guilt trip ever. But then my husband, Keith, gave me the best piece of advice on this. He said 'If you need to something important with the kids, your boss will surely understand. And if you decide to do this something with the kids, you need to let that guilt go because if you don't that worrying will ruin this great moment you are getting to have with your children. You've made your decision, it's the right decision, and now you need to enjoy it.'
Personal challenge I'm a very over-protective mom, probably because I lost my mom to ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) a few years ago [Check out Nancy's ALS charity Betty's Battle.] When you lose someone close to you, you become scared that it will happen again. I know that I have to let my kids be free to do their thing, so I need to get rid of this worrying thing.

Following the receipt of the Department of Justice grant, the University created a Campus-Community Response Team to achieve greater coordination and communication among response services for sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. This team is comprised of internal and external constituents.
The Response Team began meeting in November 2012 and is scheduled to meet on a monthly basis and as needed when special issues arise. The purpose of these meetings is to promote positive, proactive communication, coordination of services, cross-training, and awareness of the issues impacting our individual organizations, as well as provide the opportunity to debrief confidentially and appropriately following incidences of sexual and dating violence for continual evaluation of our collective response and service delivery.

Internet rumors have been flying about a potential coupling of Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, who is going through a divorce, and Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.
But Lindsey Vonn set the record straight in a short commentary she wrote for the Denver Post about Tim Tebow and her experience sitting in a skybox with Tebow's family during the Denver Broncos' 13-10 win against the Chicago Bears Sunday.
"A lot of people are wondering what's up with me and the Tebows. I'm just friends with the family. I met Tim and his brother Pete at the ESPY Awards like three or four years ago in the gym — we were working out there. I spent more time with Tim and his brother at the V Foundation Golf Tournament, and this year at the ESPYs," Vonn wrote.
She added, "I pretty much know their whole family now. They're great people. It's pretty awesome to be able to hang out with them — and to be able to witness the amazing things Tim and the Broncos can do.
I really get inspired by other athletes. I like to believe that the impossible is possible, and people like that make you believe."
While there are no sparks for the athletic duo, there is plenty of chemistry between ESPN's Skip Bayless and Tim Tebow.
Funniest. Video. Ever.

Camilla Belle
Los Angeles, California
"I'm not a dark person at all, so those roles are the most challenging. I don't think I'm necessarily drawn to dark things. It just seems to work out that way."
- Camilla Belle
Camilla Belle is familiar to film audiences as a prehistoric babe in 10,000 BC. You also know her as the brave babysitter fighting a psychotic intruder in When a Stranger Calls.
Camilla Belle is blessed with sex appeal not only from her looks but also because of her warm and giving personality. She devotes much of her free time to charitable organizations, the anti-poverty themed "Kids With a Cause" being the most prominent one. In short, Camilla Belle's a hot young thing with a keen mind who yearns to make a difference. That's hot.
Although her featured role in Roland Emmerich's stone-age blockbuster gave her prime exposure, Camilla Belle has shown the versatility and know-how necessary to anchor her own studio film or take on more challenging roles in high-profile independents. Camilla Belle's role as the heroine in When a Stranger Calls is proof of the former, while her turn as Daniel Day-Lewis's daughter won her a Gotham Award nomination for the Breakthrough Award. Could an Oscar nom be in the cards for Camilla Belle? If she continues to work with Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis, her chances are certainly improved.
Camilla Belle BiographyCamilla Belle Routh was born on October 2, 1986, in Los Angeles, California. The daughter of Brazilian fashion designer Christina and construction business owner Jack, Camilla Belle didn't waste any time getting into show business. At just 9 months old, she was chosen to headline a national print advertising campaign. As she got older, she was able to transplant her early success to television movies in the early '90s, with TV flicks like Deconstructing Sarah and Marshal Law with Jimmy Smits.
Camilla Belle continued her schooling at St. Paul the Apostle in L.A., but also made the acting jump from television roles to feature films. In 1995, future Harry Potter director Alfonso Cuaron cast her as an orphan in A Little Princess. Two years later, Steven Spielberg cast her as the little girl who gets mixed up with dinosaurs in the opening sequence of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. In 1998, Camilla Belle won two more roles in Practical Magic (as a young Sandra Bullock) and The Patriot as Steven Seagal's daughter.
camilla belle stars in the ballad of jack and roseEven though her career was in full bloom, Camilla Belle continued to make school a top priority. She attended the Marlborough School, a well-known girls-only institution, and learned music through classical piano and immersed herself in languages. Camilla Belle continued acting in films like Disney's TV surfing drama Rip Girls, which earned her a Young Artist acting nomination, and The Invisible Circus, which saw her playing a younger version of Jordana Brewster. At this point, Camilla Belle was successful in acting but wanted a break and stayed away for three years.
By 2005, Camilla Belle realized that acting was her true passion, and she found a great way back in. She auditioned for a part in The Ballad of Jack and Rose, aiming for a plum role as the sheltered and troubled daughter of Daniel Day-Lewis. Camilla Belle won the part, and the film's critical accolades brought her back into the limelight. Nearly 20 at this point, Camilla Belle had set herself up for a string of more grown-up roles.
camilla belle stars in when a stranger calls and appears in 10,000 bc After a role in the 2005 indie The Chumscrubber, Camilla Belle got her first crack at a lead role in the 2006 remake of the horror classic When a Stranger Calls. Surprisingly, Camilla Belle won the role despite hating the horror genre. The bold casting of Camilla Belle as the lead proved to be a doozy when the film became a success. As the anchor of a successful studio film, Camilla Belle had also increased her popularity tenfold.
From 2006 to 2008, Camilla Belle kept busy with a high-profile fashion gig and additional acting projects -- Vera Wang hired her as a model for her Princess fragrance, and Camilla Belle not only acted in The Quiet opposite Elisha Cuthbert but she also won the lead female role in 2008's cave-dweller epic 10,000 BC.

Post subject: Baggage fees
About a month ago, I read that a couple of airlines had instituted a policy wherein rather than a flier getting two checked-in bags for free, they would now charge for that second bag. It didn't take long for that policy to spread, and then yesterday I read that American Airlines took it a step further; now fliers will be charged for
checked bags.
Basically this means that if you are planning to be out of town for longer than a long week-end, because of the 3 oz liquid rule on carry-on luggage, you will be forced to pay the extra fee. And, even if you plan a very short trip, you may well end up paying the extra fee anyway...here's why. Last year we traveled on Southwest to L.A. with carry-on luggage only. For our return, we arrived at the airport a full two hours in advance, and the carry-on line was out the door, and down past the next terminal. After 45 minutes in line, we had to dump out liquids and get into the checked line just so we wouldn't miss our flight. I lost $65 in skin care products; my husband probably half that amount...all because Southwest didn't have enough check in lines open.
If that happened when you were allowed free checked-in bags, can you imagine what it'll be like without any free checked-in bags? It's a nightmare for me; I wear contacts and my solutions alone take up half the plastic baggie I am allowed to take in my carry-on. Luckily my skin care line has a travel version, but even with that, I can't take all the lotions and potions I like to travel with.
I realize the cost of fuel has gone through the roof, but it seems like they are nickel and diming us to death. No food...I get it. No pillow...I get it. One bag...I get it. No bags? I don't get it.
The only reason carry-on works these days is because not everyone takes advantage of it, which means that those who do actually have a place for theirs. To save money, I'm sure more and more people are going to schlep their bags on board. Which will over-stuff the over-heads, require bags last minute be moved to the plane's belly, and create even further delays in take-off.
Most of the flying I do these days is very last minute, which means I end up flying Southwestern, and because of the pain-in-the-ass
Wright Amendment
, nowhere I fly is ever close to being a non-stop journey. And on most of those non-stop journeys, I change planes at least once. It's different when I travel with my husband, but when I travel alone, I generally take my back-pack aboard but check my small suitcase so I won't have to lift it overhead to put it away or take it down...and so I don't have to rely on whatever nice man is nearby. Then too, running from terminal to terminal with both a heavy backpack (laptop included!) and a roller bag, isn't always a workable solution.
What types of bags do you travel with?

Oh, Laurie, I can so relate to what you are talking about! I don't travel a whole lot, but it is getting more stressful and annoying all of the time. I have very bad arthritis in my knees and walking and standing for long periods of time is very hard for me. Nowadays, it seems all you do is stand in lines. And delays! Don't let me get started on that one!
I make a huge effort to condense my packing and take as little as possible - usually 1 "regular" bag (20-22") and 1 small carry-on that will fit under the seat. My rule is that I must be able to handle my luggage by myself without assistance so that is about all I can handle. Since all of the goofy security rules, I have been checking just about everything, too.
I understand the airlines' need to increase fares due to rising fuel costs, but you are right in saying that all kinds of economy measures have already been taken. I can see a charge for more than one bag, but not allowing any checked luggage with the purchase of a ticket is ridiculous. I don't mind the no food deal. I hate to eat on planes anyway. Unless you are flying cross-country or overseas, your flight will not be more than a few hours and not-eating isn't a problem for me.
My issues with the whole carry-on thing are numerous. It really restricts what you can bring with you because of the security regulations if you don't check a bag. Another problem I have is that no way in hell is there room for everyone on the plane to bring their luggage on board; therefore, the airlines will be forced to discriminate against some passengers. How would they decide who gets to carry on and who is forced to pay? It doesn't take long for those bins to fill up. And the more carry-on luggage there is the longer it takes to load and unload the plane. Another problem I have with carry-on luggage is that I am not very tall or very strong; there is no way I can heft a full piece of luggage up into the overhead bin. I wonder what is next?
So many books; so little time!

When I travel I take only two carry-ons. One is a suitcase and the second is a large enough bag that I fit my purse and books and other miscellaneous stuff inside it. I rarely check my bags. One goes in the overhead bin and the other I stow under the seat in front of me. I have learned to travel light but usually my trips are pretty short so what I can put in my suitcase has to do for the duration.
When we were on our honeymoon(back in 1985) our bags got lost coming home--which was better than at the beginning of the trip. So from that experience I decided that less is better. You can always do laundry while you're on the trip so it is doable.
My niece who travels constantly usually sends her clothes and toiletries ahead of her by UPS. Then they are there when she arrives. It works for her and so she has only her business stuff to deal with.

I wish I could do that... I have this really huge "handbag" that would be perfect for it. But UK airports have become really annoying lately, and you're allowed only one piece of carry-on luggage. And by one, I do mean one: a tiny little purse with maybe your wallet and mobile and keys counts like that "one", so you even need to make space for it inside the bigger carry-on.
Still, I can travel for two weeks with just a carry-on. More, if I can do laundry, if it weren't for that stupid liquids rule. The liquids thing is the real problem, I think.

Post subject: One bag...one backpack
When we went to Europe a few years ago, because we knew we would be traveling almost daily, we packed entirely in a backpack each, and a suitcase that would fit in the overhead each. It worked okay, and we were able to do it all, but I would have much preferred not to wear wet underwear because the stuff never dried in hotels without air conditioning on hot summer days and nights. I always brag about that packing job, particularly when a couple of years later we went on a cruise to Alaska and, by necessity, needed a whole lot more luggage. We STILL pack lightly compared to most people - on two trips w/my family, we had about half the luggage for three of us that my mom, sister, and niece had, but the real killer for me at this point IS the liquid limit, not the clothing allotment. To take it all on-board, you cannot bring more than tiny bottles. I have a ton of room left in my backpack each time we travel that could hold larger bottles, but since I doubt that liquid limit is ever going to change, it's a real problem.

I used to do all carry-on, before the liquid limit, and before I hurt my shoulder/neck multiple times lugging too much through the airport. Now when travelling in the U.S., I check one rolling suitcase (the size that actually qualifies for carry-on), and carry-on my backpack (with laptop inside), and a purse.
When I travel to Europe, I don't bring my laptop, so I don't bring my backpack. Instead, I carryon a soft duffle-type bag with a few changes of clothing, and check my same rolling suitcase. I haven't hurt my neck/shoulder since I've been doing this, so I guess I'll just pay the fees for checking one bag...better to keep my health.

I hate carry on, I hate to mess with it. And this new policy really bugs me. My husband travels a lot for business (about three weeks of every four he is gone for at least part of the week) and two weeks ago we went out and bought a new carry on for him that was big enough to take 5 days worth of business clothes and workout gear. He gets by with 4 shirts and two pants plus what he wears on the plane.
It is a huge pain but he needs to travel so we make do. I am not looking forward to our trip to MN in two weeks on AA. We are going for a week and there is no way I can pack for a carry on ...

Ten days in England. One carry on. In March.
Fear me!
PS. The secret is to take the biggest damn +1 you can lay your hands on. Mine is an LL Bean backpack that is practically bigger than my roller carryon, but is squishable under the seat in front of me.
Anybody know where I can find a complete list of new airline baggage fees? I'm flying home from Asia in June and want to see what I'm facing.

My problem isn't carry on vs. checked... It's whether or not my stuff gets there at all.
The airport I fly out of generally flies planes that are too small to do carry on for anything other than backpacks and briefcases, so you can either check your stuff when you get there, or check your stuff at the gate...
But here's a tip: If you check your stuff at the gate, it's almost guaranteed to be at your destination when you get there (since they made you check it at the gate, they have to bring your stuff because you could have really important stuff in there that you would've otherwise carried on).
If they have to offload baggage for weight reasons (which they occasionally do on the smaller commuter planes), the stuff checked at the gate is exempt from the offload - they take the checked stuff off the plane first.
This is important, because lately, my checked luggage only arrives at my destination maybe 1 out of 4 flights. 2 if I'm lucky. Really.
I spend a LOT of time in the lost bags department, and have had my stuff delivered an hour away from the airport at 2 a.m. more times than I care to discuss.
My favorite part is when they ask me what color my bag is... To which I respond "Leopard print. It should be pretty damn obvious."
FWIW, PHL is the worst airport for routing luggage to its destination. And the combination of US Airways and PHL guarantees that your luggage isn't going with you.
I've had better success with Northwest and United - although United's economy seats are really now more like sardine seats, since they decided that normal economy seats should cost extra. But that's a completely different topic unto itself.

After living in the UK for 6 months and travelling around Europe, I got used to having to pay to check a bag (I did carry-on for weekend trips, but because of the liquid rule, I had to check bags for longer trips) With airlines like easyjet and Ryanair, it didn't bother me because they offer such cheap flights. It angers me that AA or a similar airline would do this, however. As if flying transatlantic or even throughout the U.S. isn't expensive enough already! I'll be returning to the States soon, and I'm using two airlines - Virgin Atlantic from London to D.C., and then after staying overnight I'm flying Delta from D.C. to Charlotte. (It sounds out of the way and complicated, but I made a pit stop in D.C. back in December to see an old friend before coming to the UK.) Anyway, the cost of my round-trip flight from D.C. to Charlotte is over half of the cost of my round-trip flight from D.C. to London, and it seems Delta is now doing the one checked bag rule. I don't remember being charged extra for my 2nd bag back in December, so either it hadn't been in place yet or I had a nice airline employee. If I have to pay this time, though...

WIP Wednesday: Guest-hosted by Cindy
I live in Central California, where the temp has been hovering around 109 degrees for way too many days. I'm self-employed as a medical transcriber, working out of my home. I have been quilting for over fifteen years, so my stash is a little, um, overwhelming at times. And I'm obsessively drawn to selvages.
This is what I've been up to the last week.
I participated in the "Picture Perfect" Polaroid Block Swap and made 22 really cute little blocks. And then forgot to take a picture of the group before mailing them off. Considering it is a swap that consists of blocks made to look like photos, that's kind of funny, right? I saved one little block for me. Isn't he cute?
This block is for Amy's "Texting While Sewing" contest. I may have taken the theme a little too literally...
Last week I was working on the backing for a quilt, and sewing together strips of leftover solids. I tried to be really careful when sewing, but when I put them on the design wall, there was a really awful curve. I took them apart, made sure everything was nice and straight, sewed them together again, and it didn't make a bit of difference. So I started from scratch and the second time everything was nice and straight. But what to do with this strip?
I chopped it off where it started curving and added black on each side. Since we were in the midst of track and field events during the Olympics, it kind of reminded me of the lanes on the track with hurdles. So I'm calling it Hurdle Jump.
I was considering a short tutorial because it is a great idea for leftover jelly roll strips of all different lengths so here it is: you just sew some strips together and add some "hurdles" here and there. Sew two long strips together side to side, from top to bottom, then add the next strip by sewing bottom to top, and keep alternating, sewing the next strip from top to bottom, the next bottom to top, until you have sewed as many strips together as you like. I think that is what helped the second set to come out nice and straight.
And finally, when I'm in avoidance/procrastination mode from other projects, I continue working on these Crown of Thorn blocks, each with Kaffe Fassett fabric. And just because I sometimes amuse myself with naming quilts, this one is called Kaffe'-O-Lait.
Okay, it's your turn! What have you been working on this week? Here are the rules for linking up to WIP Wednesday:
1. Link up any post from the past week that features at least one unfinished work-in-progress (WIP)
2. Somewhere in your post, link back here to my blog. (Or grab my WIP Wednesday button for your sidebar.)
3. Comment on at least a few of the other links—because what fun is a linky party without comments?

An Opinion
Some who celebrate Gutenberg's revolution find themselves groping to understand electronic publishing. In sum, it can be said that although academic religious monographs will be circulated primarily in printed form for the foreseeable future, cds and dvds are good media for reference works. Meanwhile, e-journals are becoming the venue of choice for journal articles and book reviews.
An online journal speeds up the pace at which a researcher's work can elicit peer review. Since no publishing company is engaged in the process, there is no need to charge for the journal. The contributor almost never receives direct financial reward for such publications anyway, but rather institutional acknowledgement for advancement. One of the frequently posed questions concerns copyright. Unfortunately, current technology makes all circulated material easy prey for pirates. This is probably now no less or more true of online journals than print journals.

Guidance System, Minuteman III
The Minuteman III is a solid-fueled, intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which the U.S. Air Force first deployed in the 1960s. The guidance system, contained in a ring between the upper stage and the re-entry vehicle, was a key to the Minuteman's success as a weapon. Signals from this system controlled the direction, cut-off of thrust, and the separation of the stages, to direct the three warheads to their targets.
The Minuteman used an inertial guidance system, which relied completely on internal measurements of acceleration. By combining acceleration data with knowledge of the Earth's gravitational field, and of the missile's exact position at launch, the Minuteman was able to achieve remarkable accuracy. An onboard digital computer, built of early production integrated circuits, stored data and performed the necessary calculations. It also allowed the missile to be retargeted quickly prior to launch.
Transferred by the U.S. Air Force to the Museum in 1977.

BALTIMORE -- In the wake of the Masahiro Tanka injury news, the New York Yankees are preparing to move forward with their rotation in shambles as they try to stay close in the American League East race with a three-game weekend series in Baltimore.
Several questions linger on Tanaka's long-term fate as the rookie continues his transit back to New York. The Yankees traded for Oakland Athletics left-hander Jeff Francis Friday to bolster pitching depth. But more moves appear likely as New York tries to mend its pitching situation.
In the meantime, Yankees manager Joe Girardi is looking to the guys that are left to show what they have.
"You like to think that it's an opportunity for someone to really step up and show that they got," Girardi said. "For a lot of us, that's how we get our start in the big leagues. Somebody gets hurt, and you get an opportunity to play and you prove that you can play and then you stick.
"It's not like every starter is going to go 12-4 with a (2.51) ERA, but sometimes you have to get up a little bit from other spots and try to hold teams down and score runs. So I don't think anyone plans for having four starters on the DL. But you got to figure it out."
Girardi said he doesn't know if a plan is drawn up yet mapping out Tanaka's potential recovery period, and hasn't spoken with the pitcher since the diagnosis of a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament.
General manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Tommy John elbow surgery isn't been ruled out, but the Yankees are going with a rehab attempt first based on the evaluations of three doctors. Tanaka is due to have a platelet-rich plasma injection, and Cashman said if that treatment goes as planned, the pitcher will miss at least six weeks.
Tanaka pitched 212 innings in Japan last season, and Girardi said he didn't know if his usage then has any impact on his injury now. So far this season, Tanaka is tied for fifth in the majors with 129.1 innings pitched.
"If it was one pitch, it didn't seem like it because he didn't act like that," Girardi said. "It's just, it's hard to say. No one really knows unless you had a video in his arm the whole time, you're really not going to know exactly what it was."
Friday afternoon, Tanaka issue a statement through the Yankees in which he apologized for the injury.
"I accept this injury as a challenge, but I promise to do everything I can to overcome this setback and return to the mound as soon as possible," Tanaka said.
Francis is not yet with the Yankees, and Girardi said he's not yet sure when he will be. Girardi said Francis is probably in the 30-40 pitch range right now, and that the Yankees will establish a plan for him once he arrives. So far this season, working mostly out of the bullpen, Francis has a 5.89 ERA in 18.1 innings pitched with 14 strikeouts. Francis started one game this season, with the Cincinnati Reds on May 15, going five innings and giving up three earned runs in a loss.
Prior to this season, Francis was a starter for nine seasons, primarily with the Colorado Rockies.
"I really haven't seen him pitch a lot," Girardi said. "So I'll get to know him as soon as he gets here."
Monday, before the Tanaka news, the Yankees traded Vidal Nuno to the Diamondbacks for starter Brandon McCarthy. In his first start with the Yankees on Wednesday, McCarthy pitched 6.2 innings, giving up four runs, one earned and striking out three, while getting a no-decision in a 5-4 Yankees win.
McCarthy said, while the Tanaka injury news is tough from a team perceptive and puts an onus on everybody else to pitch well, it doesn't change his new role.
"The thing with a starting pitcher is, you can't do too much," McCarthy told USA TODAY Sports. "You just can only do exactly what you can do on any given day."
As Cashman continues his dealing to try to patch up the Yankees rotation, McCarthy said he's not sure how things may shake up from here. But less than a week into his new post, he's confident in the team's ability to add depth.
"You see things from the outside and you know how the Yankees work," McCarthy said. "They accumulate great players, they're always in their buyer mode and they're always trying to win."

Last night I had the privilege of being able to represent UCLA at the 2013 ESPYS and I wanted to share some of my experiences with the UCLA community. Overall it was one of the coolest things I have ever had the chance to do in my life and I can't thank both UCLA and Capital One enough for allowing me to go to the awards show.
We started off the day by being dropped off at the JW Marriott at LA Live and hanging out in the lobby with the Capital One representatives. It was really interesting to just kind of stand there in the hotel lobby and see all of these famous athletes and celebrities up close as they walked by on their way to the red carpet. After awhile, Jennie Finch and Lisa Leslie came down to meet with myself and North Carolina representatives, Kara Cannizzaro and Crystal Dunn, and I had the opportunity to chat briefly with them and take a picture with them and the Capital One Cup. Needless to say, it was a great way to kick off an awesome night.
Perhaps the coolest part of the day for me was getting to walk down the red carpet during the pre-show. The emcee called my name out, and as I walked down I got my picture taken by a bunch of media members and even had the chance to do a few interviews towards the end. Once we got inside for the show to start, I saw that our seats were just five rows from the stage and was amazed at how close we were. I ended up sitting right behind Orioles third baseman Manny Machado and just a seat away from ESPN's Stuart Scott. It was incredible being this close to all of these famous people.
During the show, it was a thrill to be shown on the broadcast and again be able to represent the UCLA men's athletic teams for all of their great accomplishments during the year. When they showed the highlights of the Capital One Cup winners it was especially awesome to hear a ton of cheers from the balcony when they talked about our NCAA Championship in baseball. After a couple of hours at the post party and checking out the scene there, we decided to call it a night, capping off an experience I will never forget.
Once again, I just want to thank both UCLA and Capital One for allowing me the chance to be a part of this special night and to represent the school at this event. It is something I will remember forever and I hope that future UCLA players behind me will have the same opportunity to represent the school as I did.
Go Bruins!

Men's Hockey Gets Sticks Going in 8-1 Win Over Simon Fraser
Box Score
BURNABY, B.C. (1/3/14) – A four-point night for Andrew Calof earned him the Player of the Game as the Princeton men's hockey team defeated Simon Fraser 8-1 in the first game of the Great Northwest Showcase.
The honor was presented during an on-ice presentation following the conclusion of the game at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre.
Linemates Mike Ambrosia had three points on one goal and two assists and Ryan Siiro had a goal and an assist. Senior Eric Carlson was also a multiple-point scorer with a goal and an assist. Seven other players had one point.
All three Princeton goalies saw action in the game. Delta, B.C., native Sean Bonar got the starting nod and made two saves in the first period. Sophomore Colton Phinney played the second period and about three minutes of the third, earning the win with four saves. Junior Ryan Benitez played his first game this season and made three saves in the final 17 minutes.
Despite outshooting Simon Fraser 13-3 in the first period, the teams entered the first intermission tied at 1-1. The game-winner was the lone goal of the second before the Tigers exploded with six goals in the third.
Calof from Ambrosia gave Princeton the 1-0 lead at 5:33 in the first. SFU capitalized on a miscue at 15:51 when Bonar tried to play the puck behind the cage, but it was picked up by Graham Smerek. Smerek found the team's leading scorer Nick Sandor for an open net.
Siiro tallied the game-winning goal on the power play at 13:12 of the second period. Calof skated up the left side and sent a cross-ice pass to Ambrosia. Ambroisa centered for Siiro and he banged it in for the 2-1 lead as the Tigers capitalized on their third power-play opportunity of the game.
Williamson was called for boarding in the final seconds of the second period setting Princeton up to start with a man-advantage in the final frame.
The Tigers took advantage as Siiro set up Calof just 18 seconds in to the third, setting up a five-goal run in a span of just 6:10.
The fourth goal was Ben Foster from Garrett Skrbich at 1:43 followed by Kyle Rankin from Tucker Brockett at 2:56, Jack Berger from Carlson at 4:35 and Ambrosia from Calof at 6:28.
Carlson put the final touches on the game with a goal at 16:50 with senior Alec Rush and sophomore Michael Zajac assisting.
Andrew Parent made 28 saves in goal for Simon Frasier as Princeton outshot the Clan 36-10.
Princeton was 2 for 4 on the power play and 2 for 2 on the penalty kill.
Princeton will play University of British Columbia tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m. UBC faces off with North Dakota tonight at 7 p.m.

It's not just her black tutus, ripped fishnets and oversized hair bows that make this nightlife beauty queen look like a living doll, but also her butterfly-lash doe eyes, neon-pink pout and flawless-skin finish. So how does fashion and beauty enthusiast Ashley Graves get her look? She spilled some juicy secrets to Beauty Buff for this month's famous face report.
Jane Iredale Beauty Balm and Brightener, $49.99; Image Studios
"This product hasn't even hit the market yet. It comes out July 3. I was lucky enough to sample this product for the past few days and it is AMAZING. It's a full coverage liquid foundation, all natural and oil free. It goes on smooth and lasts all day/night. I've never found a better foundation, and it's good for your skin."
DUO Lashes and Lash Glue, $10-$12; Target
"Everyone knows the latest makeup trend is false lashes. I wear them religiously. The best lashes out there are DUO Lashes and Lash glue. You can buy them together or seperately. I've never had lashes last so long, or look so natural."
MAC Amber Lights Eyeshadow, $14; Nordstrom
"The best way to bring out any eye color is a copper or bronze based color. Amber lights is nice because it lightens my eyes and has a lot of pigment in it so you only have to use a little. I usually will put it all over my eye and take it out into the sides of my eyes and blend it in to my bronzer. It creates a really beachy fun effect!"
Facial Masques, prices vary; Mountain Body Spa and Herbal Cosmetic Deli
"The drive to Park City is totally worth it. They have an array of facial masques that you can scoop into a container, weigh it and buy it. All the products are made locally and from ingredients that come from Utah. Think mud, clay, etc. My favorite is the Seaweed Detoxifying Masque. Keep them in the fridge, they will last you about six to seven months."
Victoria's Secret Baked Bronzing Pressed Powder, $16; Victoria's Secret
"I never thought I would stop using MAC Skin Finishers, but this bronzer is the real deal. Not only does it set in my makeup, but you can contour with the darker bronzer (Goddess) and use the lighter bronzer (Glowing) as a skin finisher and powder. It's all-day wear and my skin has never felt so smooth. It also keeps that healthy summer glow on your face year round!"
MAC False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara, $14; Nordstrom
"If you are layering it on your false lashes or just using it alone, it's going to give you the perfect amount of volume and length. I used to swear by MAC Plush Lash, but it doesn't do the lengthening like this one does."
NARS Blush in Orgasm, $18; Nordstrom/Sephora
"NARS is known for it's edgy image and bright colors. This blush is the perfect amount of peach and pink for anyone. It's really natural and gives you a great glow above your contour with your bronzer. Don't let the name scare you away, because after you try the blush on the apples of your cheeks, you will swear by it."
MAC Studio Fix Plus, $18; Nordstrom
"I never thought there would be a product to brighten dull makeup or set makeup in, but thanks to MAC Studio Fix Plus my thoughts changed on that. It brightens makeup after that dull look sets in around 2 p.m. at work, or completely sets your make up in after you apply. I've noticed my makeup stays all day instead of till noon."
Jane Iredale Bitty Brow Kits, $30-$40; Image Studios
"I never thought I needed to fill in my brows. But once I did I couldn't not fill in my brows. It really defines your face and brings out your eyes. This comes with a cream to mix the brow powder with, you you can go for a bolder look, or go for a softer look with just the powder."
MAC Creamsheen Lipstick in Ravishing, $14; Nordstrom
"Peach is the color of the summer. Let's face it, I never thought it would make a comeback like it did, but now I'm obsessed. My favorite peach colored lipstick out there right now is MAC Creamsheen Lipstick in Ravishing. It's the perfect amount of peach and nude. You get a really beachy, fun feel from this lipstick. I highly recommend it for the season."
As you can likely tell, Ashley's arsenal of stylist friends keep her in-the-know, so Tweet her for beauty tips at twitter.com/ashleysgotagun.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by stevenkb76 Excellent product (Aqua Recycled Glass Bottle) I happened upon this "vintage" looking bottle while browsing the World Market website. It instantly caught my eye, as I had been looking for a water bottle for my infused waters. This bottle is very sturdy and has a great seal, and does not leak. I have been using them everyday since I bought them, and couldn't imagine using a different bottle now. See the attached photo for my use of this product! I also love my local World Market, and shop there frequently! February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by bunnyboppes Durable & Beautiful We have been trying out various glass vessels for storing small amounts filtered water in the refrigerator. These are very sturdy, take up little space, have reliable closures, and the shape looks cute on the casual lunch or dinner table. Guests love that they get a personal bottle if they want cold water. We never purchase bottled water, so our kids think it's a special treat. I so prefer this to having a giant glass pitcher in the refrigerator. I feel okay about it staying in there for a few days, but I don't have to worry about the bottles taking up too much room or chemicals leaching into the water from being stored in plastic.

|Mortellaro wins ninth collegiate tournament
University of Idaho senior Kayla Mortellaro had a closing round 75 to move into the lead and capture her ninth career collegiate victory – in the same tournament that marked her first collegiate victory four years ago.
"We are extremely proud of Kayla for notching her ninth career victory as a Vandal," said coach Lisa Johnson after Mortellaro's closing round 75 put her at five-over 221 – one stroke better than first-day leader Brittany Henderson of Coastal Carolina and Alice Kim of Gonzaga.
"She played well in tough conditions this week and earned the victory."
The Vandals finished sixth with a 933, while Texas A&M won the event at 901 followed by UC Davis at 305 at the 54-hole event at Hawai`i's Kanoehe Klipper.
"The team was fairly consistent throughout all three rounds," Johnson said. "We had a little trouble around the greens, which cost us a few shots, but we know we need to work on our short game."
Also for the Vandals, Kaitlyn Oster tied for 36th at 236, Teo Poplawski tied for 39th at 237, Rachel Choi tied for 49th at 239 and Leilanie Kim tied for 60th at 243.

Seems to be holding up well enough. Anybody else? Tnxs!
I have one that came on a Saiga .223 I traded for a couple of years ago. Never used it on the Saiga, but mounted it on a 7x57 bolt gun.Only shot a few times so far, but no problems. Nice clear optics.
ZOS is one of those made in china scopes that people over at "optcis talk" will tell you are worthless junk along with simmons. BSA, tasco and so on.
now i haven't had a ZOS myself,
i have had a few simmons, TASCO, BSAs --those that are commonly called china junk and some other china made scopes that are held a little higher like optisan and PA's.
personally i think china made optics have come a long way in the last few decades. no they ain't going to kick any vortex vipers out of bed , but the last BSAs i got the glass seems very good , the mamba and the PA have excellent glass for the $$ the BSA boss and majestic are looking very good too. mechanically the BSA boss seems to have pretty good turrets while the majestic seems a little soft in that area-- but not too scary.
i have had one famous maker scope fail on the bench --never even fired a shot with it and the turrets went 'poop" --
i figure most of the china brands are made in the same factories as many scopes of various brands look identical , i also think that most china outsourced scope brands have certain makes that do very well and others that are junk . so getting a good china made scope is a hit and miss deal i suspect.
if i had that ZOS i would just use it if it holds zero and ain't foggy--
if it fails then get something else--

BATON ROUGE, La. – The Arizona State University track and field team wasted no time getting back into business after its electric weekend as the Sun Angel Classic, with both teams taking third at the Battle on the Bayou in Baton Rouge, La., on Saturday.
Competing in a rare regular season scored meet, the No. 8 Sun Devil women finished just five points out of second out of the four teams in action with 134 points despite competing without their distance teams.
The No. 17 ASU men's squad, also competing without its distance team, finished with 119 points and was just five points behind second-place Penn State.
LSU won both the men's and women's competitions.
In the first running event of the day, the women's 4x100-meter relay team of Keia Pinnick, Asiah Gooden clocked a new season's best time of 44.77 in a runner-up finish that tentatively ranks in the top-20 nationally and was the first of numerous impressive marks that included Pinnick on the day.
Pinnick would go on to set personal bests in both the 100-meter and 400-meter hurdles, clocking a time of 13.33 in the high hurdles that improved upon her standing at No. 7 in ASU history in the event. She would go on to win the intermediate hurdles in 57.06, matching a meet record and moving into sixth on ASU's all-time top-10 in the event.
The time would tentatively rank in the top-10 nationally this season, barring results from other competitions this weekend.
Pinnick wasn't done there as she rejoined Herring, Tate and Sarah Geren to post a new season's best time of 3:35.16 in the 4x400-meter relay in the final event of the day.
Tate would also compete in the open 400-meter dash, finishing third in 53.35.
Junior Anna Jelmini set a new meet record with her winning throw in the women's discus and a mark of 59.25m (194-05) to lead an ASU sweep in the event with Alex Hartig taking second with her throw of 50.96m (167-02).
Jelmini would also go on to take second in the shot put with a throw of 16.88m (55-04.75) to cap of a great throws day that also saw Chelsea Cassulo set the meet record in the hammer throw with a mark of 67.30m (220-10).
In the women's long jump, senior Christabel Nettey obliterated the meet record with her winning leap of 6.53m (21-05.25), despite passing on her final two attempts.
Teammate Constance Ezugha posted her best mark of the season in the same event with a jump of 6.07m (19-11.00).
Shaylah Simpson gave ASU another victory in the women's pole vault with a clearance of 3.89m (12-09.00)
The men's side saw some impressive performance out of the sprint crew, leading off with a time just of their season best in the 4x100-meter relay as Devan Spann, Will Henry, Ryan Milus clocked a time of 39.69 to finish second – eight hundredths of a second behind the victors out of LSU.
Milus and Spann would each go on to clock season's bests in the 200-meter dash, finishing second and third respective in slightly wind-aided times of 20.95 and 21.01.
Milus also took third in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.45m.
Cameron Taylor clocked a new career-best in the 110-mete hurdles as the top collegian in the field and a time of 14.18 while Will Henry also logged a new season best in the 400-meter dash in 46.67.
Derick Hinch gave the Sun Devil men of of their two victories the day, taking the pole vault with a best clearance of 5.26m (17-03.00). Jordan Clarke also won the men's hammer throw with a toss of 62.45m (204-11) to also pick up a win.
The Sun Devils will send a small contingent to the Mt. SAC Relays next weekend as the 2013 outdoor season rolls along, before welcoming Arizona and Northern Arizona to Tempe for the annual Double Dual the following weekend.

Good Article from the boys over at Ranger Up
US v. The People of the United States
Sounds like a Supreme Court case, doesnt it?
Well, though US v People of the United States could very well end up in a battle at our courts highest level, the simple fact is that this case was already decided over 200 years ago.
Back in the later parts of the 18th century, a significant number of Americans (and even some Europeans, as well) developed a line of thinking that held to an ideology of basic, inherent rights of individuals. These rights were not granted by any earthly authority, nor were they voted on by majoritiesthey pre-existed.
This notion would of course bear itself out in a violent manner in what we have come to know as the American Revolution. The event that cost the lives of over 25,000 Americans was the culmination of the conflict between the rule of men by men and the idea that men couldand shouldgovern themselves. The idea of self-government was a philosophy built on the concept that certain aspects of life were not privileges or gifts based on some type of merit system, but rather that they were already part of man from birth.
Interestingly enough, though these men who worked diligently on this ideology (and were prepared to sacrifice everything for it) were by no means divine or perfect, it is in fact their flaws and misgivings that would bear out some of the most fascinating aspects of this great experiment known as America. They didnt, for example, get it all exactly right to begin with. Yet they had the foreknowledge to understand that disagreements would arise and that a system of government that could accommodate those conflicts was needed.
However, through all of the arguments that would form the American government (and there were manysome of which still exist today), an underlying theme endured amidst the turmoil. Namely, that the American government was not one that existed to grant people certain rights or privileges, but rather the oppositethat it was to exist for the purpose of ensuring the people didnt have those rights taken away from them. This methodology differed greatly from that of a monarchy in that it wasnt a king (or his agents) granting his subjects privileges to act within his kingdomit was the people who allowed the king (or his agents) to sit in a position that existed solely for the reasons of protecting their rights.
Some would argue that the king or his court would then not be needed because, if it only existed to prevent rights from being taken, wouldnt the people be better off without him? It was here that those in Americas foundation knew that human nature is, unfortunately, flawed. We tend to take each others thingstools, cars, wives, etc.and, without some kind of objective arbiter, the physically strongest of any given group would inevitably end up with all the cool stuff.
That objective arbiter would, naturally, need to remain objective. How to accomplish that, given the aforementioned flawed human nature? By crafting a document that outlines what the arbiter can and cannot do that cannot be changed by said arbiter. The document would be the basis for all of the decisions made for conflict between ideologies of the people.
Butand this is a big but and of the utmost importancethe entire underlying intent for this document was not for the purpose of outlining what people could and could not do, but rather what the government could and could not do.
This document is known of course as the United States Constitution; the writers of which painstakingly crafted it to reflect the idea that it was governmentnot manwho needed limitations. This is, though a seemingly basic concept for many reading this, a notion that is altogether lost on a great many people who not only should know better, but have sworn oaths stating that they do.
There are a great many political arguments in this country that seem to be only making the chasm between groups wider and harder to overcome. Many of these discussions have individuals on both sides who are highly educated and very knowledgeable on the subject they are arguing for or against. Yet at the core of each fightof nearly every single clash of political ideologieslays a misunderstanding of what rights are and what the Constitution represents. There is a growing abundance of individuals who firmly believe that it is the government in control and deciding what we can and cannot do rather than the other way around.
The purpose of the Constitution is to limit the federal government, not the American people.
These words represent more than a catchy campaign slogan or political rhetoric. They embody the difference between a rule of people who change their minds with the direction of the wind and the concept of rights being born with mennot granted to them.
Everyone who holds a political office or joins the military swears an oath to something. Its not to a king, a president, or any elected officialits to the Constitution of the United States of America. Consider that oath wisely and what it represents the next time you view a politician or, in case you are in one of those positions, your own job description. Whoor whatpeople define as the arbiter of rights defines a great deal of the fights we now face in our country that may get worse before they get better

Monte EnebroAn exuberant goat cheese in three acts: the spicy peppery rind (thanks to a dusting of ash and blue mold) gives way to a tart and runny creamline, leading finally to a dense and lactic core. As sophisticated as it is delicious. Read More
