College Hockey:Cavanaugh feels welcome at Connecticut, where he keeps a grounded approach
Mike Cavanaugh knew things would be different.
After a decade and a half of winning national championships alongside college hockey's winningest coach, he stepped into a world of the unknown when he left his job as the associate head coach of Boston College for the head coaching slot at Connecticut.
"As an assistant, your only focus was on coaching and recruiting," he said. "I stepped into being a head coach, and then it was all new with having to do everything else in terms of coordinating, media and everything.
"It's like having a baby: You can be told what to do and prepare as best as you can, but then you actually do it and nothing really gets you ready for those first couple of weeks."
Still, the transition has come naturally for a man who has four NCAA championship rings from his days with the legendary Jerry York.
"If I stayed and spent my whole career at BC, I'd have been perfectly happy," Cavanaugh said. "I got to coach some of the greatest hockey players and finest young men, and I did it next to a man who will retire with more wins than anyone else.
"But UConn has been really great to welcoming me, really great at making me feel like this is the perfect place for me. I'm really happy that I came to Connecticut, and I'm really excited about what we're capable of becoming."
Cavanaugh's ultimate goal is to change the culture of the Huskies, a move that started with "players knowing this would be their last stop," he said. "I want to get these players to a point where our ultimate goal is winning championships and graduating players but where they also can aspire to be those players who have careers in the NHL."
With the move to Hockey East and the program moving its home games from the on-campus Freitas Forum to Hartford's XL Center after this season, Cavanaugh maintains a grounded approach.
"[George Gwozdecky] once said at Miami that he would be doing a disservice to his players who bled for the program if he focused on the next step with 'his guys,' guys he would be recruiting for the program," Cavanaugh said.
"I refuse to do that disservice to our seniors who have given their collegiate life to the University of Connecticut. We understand what's coming, but those guys won't see it. And we owe it to them to win now."
Government shutdown of Army's power play
It took until Wednesday of last week before Army really knew it would be heading to "Hockey Valley" to be the opponent in Penn State's inaugural game at Pegula Ice Arena.
It was confirmed that Canisius was making contingency plans to cover the game in the event that Army couldn't make it. But the Black Knights played, losing 4-1 with their only goal coming late in the third period on the power play after they missed on nine consecutive extra-man chances.
Army will look to rebound on Saturday at Merrimack.
Air Force jets grounded in Alaska
Despite outshooting Alaska on 21-17 last Friday night in the Kendall Hockey Classic, Air Force was on the wrong side of a 6-1 defeat.
The Nanooks scored twice in the first period and three times in the second en route to the win in a game where Air Force used all three of its goalies.
The next night, the Falcons were up 2-1 on Alaska-Anchorage until the Seawolves tied the game with 1:52 left. UAA got the winner with less than five seconds left when Matt Bailey beat Jason Torf, and added an empty-netter off the ensuring faceoff.
Air Force has gone winless in its first two games for the fifth straight season. Over that same time, though, it has won two conference championships and has not finished lower than third, proving it's where you finish, not where you start.
League office loves the East
The Bentley Falcons and Sacred Heart Pioneers took home player of the week honors from the league offices.
Bentley's Steve Weinstein and Max French won the player and rookie honors, respectively. The Pioneers' Alex Vazzano was the top goaltender.
Players of the week
Chris Lerch and I decided to opt for a new way of doing things this year. Instead of rolling with the players of the week from the league office, we're going to be selecting our own. Let the debating begin!
Atlantic Hockey player of the week — Niagara defenseman Kevin Ryan: The Purple Eagles trailed Canisius 4-1 in the first period and were down 4-2 in the second before Ryan helped spark the Purple Eagles' comeback by scoring on the power play and finishing with a plus-3 rating. He also registered an assist on the only goal scored during the Clarkson weekend while posting an even plus/minus.
Atlantic Hockey goalie of the week — Sacred Heart's Alex Vazzano: Welcome to the AHA! Vazzano, a transfer from Vermont, stopped 35 of 36 shots in his Pioneers debut as Sacred Heart shocked No. 1 Massachusetts-Lowell on the road. The Pioneers held opponents to fewer than two goals only once last season.
Atlantic Hockey rookie of the week — Bentley forward Max French: French struck twice in the Falcons' 6-4 win over Nebraska-Omaha on Friday and finished with a plus-1 rating. It was a solid start for the latest newcomer on a team that has won the AHA rookie of the year award each of the past two seasons.

Cameron was Hula hooping and looking really sexy doing it. Her big juicy ass looked great, as she shook her hips from side to side. Then Cameron got on top of the kitchen table and displayed her huge round rump for us. She said she was ready for some cock, but first, she played with her pussy and got it nice and wet. Cameron got her asshole munched on and sucked that cock. She got her pussy drilled, and then she requested to get pounded in her asshole. Cameron got rammed in her butt hole from behind for some awesome anal. She got man juice all over her pretty face, and she licked it up and swallowed it.

Camerron showed her perky tits at the door when Jmac requested the password. He immediately escorted her inside and asked to see her ass. Camerron took off her shorts and revealed her amazing firm booty. She mentioned that she was a yoga instructor and naturally Jmac asked to see her demonstrate her flexibility. After doing a full split, she got into a bridge position and gobbled Jmac's hard cock. He then contorted her athletic body and fucked her senseless from various angles. Soon after experiencing a massive orgasm, Camerron sucked the cum from Jmac's schong and just when she thought that he was done, she got her entire face sprayed with another load.

As fantasy drafts finish up around the nation, waiver fiends everywhere start scouring the wire looking for the next hidden gem. RotoWriters has compiled a list of sleepers, deep sleepers, and really deep sleepers that should give every waiver wire troll something to research at work this week. Come back throughout the next week to see the list for each position.
Sleepers-Players that have underachieved previously or are in a new environment and could become fantasy relevant THIS year. These players tend to have massive upside.
Deep Sleepers– Players that are not as widely known and don't have a direct road to fantasy relevance. More valuable in dynasty leagues.
Really Deep Sleepers– There is a good chance you don't know these players. Dynasty players should know these names and stash them accordingly.
Tight Ends
Ladarius Green, San Diego– Antonio Gates is a household name, but all things must come to an end. Gates ability to be a red zone monster has gone away and the only reason he was solid fantasy start last year was volume. Green has been touted highly by San Diego and it seems like the coaches want him to be the number one by the end of the year. He is going to get every chance possible to be the top red zone target for the Bolts.
Travis Kelce, Kansas City– The Chiefs haven't been know for their ability to score outside of Jamaal Charles especially in the red zone. Alex Smith has built a nice rapport with Kelce during camp and it seems like Andy Reid doesn't want to rely on the defense to be as good as they were up through week 8 last year. Expect Kelce to be the top target in the endzone this year for KC.
Other Notables:
Eric Ebron, Detroit
Deep Sleepers
Jared Cook, St. Louis– Without Sam Bradford expect St. Lewis to be a run heavy offense, but the red zone will afford a good opportunity for Cook to take advantage of heavy run defense. His targets, receptions, touchdowns, and yards have increase every year since he entered the league. Expect the trend to continue into 2014.
Levine Toilolo, Atlanta– Tony Gonzalez has officially left the building. Now there is a void to be filled in Atlanta. Toilolo is the best candidate to take over for the legend. Even though he is young he's really the only option right now as far as TE is concerned in Atlanta.
Other Notables:
Andrew Quarless, Green Bay
Really Deep Sleepers
Troy Niklas, Arizona– Niklas probably won't be relevant right away in Arizona due to injury and missed practice. Once he is healthy, watch out, Troy was a special player for the Irish last year and needs to be on the field as he is a superb pass blocker and secures the ball quickly after the catch. Troy will be worked in slowly but should be a target for Dynasty owners this year.
Other Notables:
That's it. Feel free to let me know what you think below in the comments or over twitter @dsamarin11. Also you can follow me and the other writers at RotoWriters and FantasyTeamAdvice at FTA Forums.

Whats the difference between concurrent users and concurrent meetings?
Concurrent Users
The "concurrent users limit" (a.k.a the "real-time participant limit") is the maximum number of people who can access any of your Vyew Rooms at the same time.
This concurrency only applies when multiple users are in the same room at the same time. Individual users– that is, any user in any room all by themselves– do not count toward the concurrent users limit.
Free and Plus accounts begin with a 10 concurrent user limit; Pro accounts, 15. The Plus and Pro accounts are expandable to 80.
Concurrent Meetings
Any Vyew Room containing 2 or more users is considered a "meeting".
The "concurrent meeting limit" is how many meetings can occur at the same time.
Free and Plus accounts can have 1 meeting at a time; Pro accounts, 2.
Some examples:
1) You have a Plus account with a 10-concurrent-user limit, and a 1-concurrent-meeting limit. You could have all 10 people in one room, or 10 in one room and 5 others each in their own individual rooms.
2) You have a Pro account with a 20-concurrent-user limit, and a 2-concurrent-meeting limit. You could have all 20 in one room. You could also have 12 in one room, 8 in another, and 4 others each in their own individual rooms.

SHAWINIGAN, Que. -- Anton Zlobin came to Canada from his native Russia last year in order to improve the chances of realizing his dream of being drafted by an NHL team.
When that dream failed to become a reality last June, Zlobin took it as a challenge. And on Sunday night, he might very well have given himself a chance to have that dream come true next month.
Zlobin scored the overtime winner in a 2-1 victory for his Shawinigan Cataractes against London in the final of the MasterCard Memorial Cup, capping a tremendous tournament for a player who hopes he's caught the attention of NHL scouts.
SHAWINIGAN, Que. -- It would be hard for people who are not from here to understand what junior hockey means to the people of Shawinigan, and just how long they have waited to see what they witnessed Sunday night.
But now, after 43 years, the people of Shawinigan can say they are the home of the MasterCard Memorial Cup champions.
Anton Zlobin's second goal of the game, at 17:51 of overtime, gave the host Shawinigan Cataractes a 2-1 win against the London Knights in the tournament final Sunday in front of a packed house of jubilant fans at Bionest Centre, who went home content that a 43-year itch finally was scratched.
Mikhail Grigorenko has seen his name slipping on the various draft rankings, he's heard the criticism lobbed in his direction and he's not the least bit surprised.
No, after a subpar performance in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoffs for the Quebec Remparts -- one where he produced just three points in a seven-game loss to the Halifax Mooseheads in the second round -- Grigorenko says the criticism and fading draft hype was to be expected.
"I was waiting for this," Grigorenko, 18, said after being named the Canadian Hockey League's BMO Rookie of the Year. "Before the (final) ratings I understood where I would be because during the season I had good games and I was first or second, but after I had a bad playoffs and I went down."
His coach in Quebec City, Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy, was proud of the recognition given to Grigorenko's first season of hockey on North American soil.
SHAWINIGAN, Que. – Two of the top prospects heading into the 2012 NHL Draft earned two of the top honors Saturday at the Canadian Hockey League awards ceremony, but it was an undrafted free agent signing by the Phoenix Coyotes who came away with the biggest award of all.
Brendan Shinnimin of the Western Hockey League's Tri-City Americans, the top scorer across the three major junior leagues, was named the CCM Player of the Year after a tremendous season where he scored 58 goals and 76 assists for 134 points in just 69 games.
It was a moment of great vindication for a 5-foot-10, 175-pound player deemed too small to be drafted by any of the 30 NHL clubs.
"I look at that as a motivator. I like people to tell me I can't do something because it makes me want to do it even more," said Shinnimin, 21. "Hard work and determination gets you a long way. Especially in today's game, you don't have to be a big, strong player. You can be a small guy as long as you have the tenacity and the compete level. That's something that I have and something I will take forward into my pro career."
The femur is the hardest bone to break in the human body.
Coda Gordon knows this all too well after snapping his femur in two in a bantam hockey game in 2008.
The way Gordon excelled in his rookie season with the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League this season, it's hard to imagine that just four years ago, he had to re-learn how to walk, and skate, after his injury.
The Shawinigan Cataractes certainly didn't look like a team that had lost an emotional game 24 hours earlier.
Defenseman Morgan Ellis had a goal and two assists, and tournament scoring leader Michael Chaput added a pair of assists as the host Cataractes scored the game's first six goals en route to a 6-1 victory against the Edmonton Oil Kings in the tiebreaker game at the 2012 MasterCard Memorial Cup at Bionest Centre in Shawinigan, Que.
Yannick Veilleux, Anton Zlobin, Kirill Kabanov and Michael Bournival also scored and goalie Gabriel Girard made 29 saves for Shawinigan, which advances to Friday's semifinal game and a rematch with Quebec Major Junior Hockey League rival and defending Memorial Cup champion Saint John Sea Dogs. The teams combined for more than 70 penalty minutes Wednesday night in a physical, hard-hitting affair won 4-1 by the Sea Dogs.
The London Knights acquired Greg McKegg from the Erie Otters in January to add to their offense for what the organization would be a long run through the Ontario Hockey League playoffs and possibly on to the Memorial Cup.
McKegg, a 2010 third-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs, lost that scoring touch in the postseason, but rediscovered it Tuesday at the 2012 MasterCard Memorial Cup, scoring his first goal in nearly six weeks as London defeated the Edmonton Oil Kings 4-1 at Bionest Centre in Shawinigan, Que.
"I was glad to see him score," London coach Mark Hunter said. "He's been contributing in other ways. He's been good on faceoffs, good defensively, but it was nice to see him score. Hopefully he gets more."
There's little better in sports than a one-game, winner-take-all championship match, and that's what the United States Hockey League Clark Cup Final has come down to.
The Green Bay Gamblers and Waterloo Black Hawks will meet Wednesday in Green Bay, with the winners taking home the league championship.
The host Gamblers' ride to the championship has been a fairly smooth one. After finishing with a League-high 98 points, they beat Youngstown in four games in the best-of-five quarterfinals, and then swept Indiana in the semifinals.

Arizona women's tennis continued its success on Friday at the ITA Regional tournament, as two doubles teams advanced to the round of 16 and senior Kim Stubbe advanced to the quarterfinals in singles play.
Senior Akilah James and freshman Lauren Marker defeated Fullerton's McIntosh and Slevcove, 8-5, while seniors Lacey Smyth and Stubbe earned a win over UCSB's Meehan and Scatliffe, 8-2. Both teams will play in the round of 16 on Saturday.
Stubbe won two singles matches on the day, first over SDSU's Hailey Johnson and later over UCLA's Catherine Harrison. She won both matches in straight sets to advance her to the quarterfinal round, which will also be played on Saturday.
"To see Kim in the quarters of the ITA Regionals again is fantastic, but I'm also excited about our success in doubles play," Arizona head coach Vicky Maes said. "The girls have been competing hard in this tournament. We have come away with some significant individual wins so far."
James, Marker and Smyth all earned wins in the round of 32, but fell in the round of 16.
"We are looking forward to tomorrow's matchups against two very good USC teams," Maes said. "But I like our chances."

Feedback: kimba616.deviantart.com/journa…
Despite lousy location and not making my quota, I did pretty well this convention. I'd say it would have to be my new hobby of making perler bead sprites that really boosted my total profit, so you can expect to see more of them uploaded in my gallery!
Here's my quick rundown of this con!
First day! Wore FN Suki with my friend Sarah-Strazberry dressed as a yellow pikmin. Not much happened, spent the day at the table with and various others. We seriously had a party at our booth or something. Sooo many people. lol after the con we gathered a pretty large group and went out for pizza, where we stayed until it closed talking about old cartoons, video games, and how irl the John Smith/Pocahontas relationship would have been disgusting. Oh God.
Very busy crazy day. Wore Mawile so I was automatically 20% more worn out when I got there. Pokemon gathering at 1pm, got pictures. Masquerade sign in and pictures at 2pm. The wait was ridiculous and it was sweltering hot in my costume. Got back to the table and things were kind of going crazy. Not mentioning names or events, just that it was stressing me out more. Our friend was nice enough to go out and get everyone Carl's Jr. so that was awesome. Anyway, Masquerade at 5pm. Some of the skits were "meh" but quite a few were entertaining. :] ShotzgoBoom and her group won best in show! You can see their skit here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0tur-… I got best craftsmanship beginners level for my Mawile head/jaw. The prize was lame, but winning was pretty cool.
Debuted my Ramona Flowers cosplay! The wig was lame since I couldn't get it to style correctly in the short amount of time I had. It will be better for Wondercon. We had a pretty sweet last minute Scott Pilgrim group/meetup: fav.me/d2y4ip8 which was LOADS of fun! Didn't spend much time at the table unfortunately. And I didn't get a chance to say bye to a lot of people. Afterward, though, we went to get some Sushi and lots of fun was had! Then I went to bed really early and slept for 12 hours. xD
In the end I sold:
25/33 Hats
50/53 Sprites
2/2 Plushies
Also, all of my business cards were taken. lol! I thought I would have way more than enough but apparently not.. xD
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who bought something from me or Sasha! And thankyouthankyouthankyou Sarah, Lauren, and Max for helping me complete some of my items. I don't know what I'd have done without you guys!
So here's the deal, guys. I'm not going to be taking commissions for at least a month so that I can get a good start this semester. But I have a few things from Sac Anime that didn't get sold that I'm selling. I'm posting this on both dA and LJ, so I'll determine who gets what based on the time your comment was sent. If payment is not recieved within 24 hours, the item goes back up and repeat. I ONLY take paypal. No exceptions. Shipping is $5 in the US, $8 international. With that in mind, here's what I have:
Pikachu x3 $15 each
Green Mushroom x2 $10 each
Red Pikmin x1 $15
Bellossom x1 $22
Purple/Black cat x1 $12
Box Ghost x1 $10
Ariel x1 $8
Cheshire Cat x1 $8
FAQ is here, along with my commission information. And as always, if you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Back from SacAnime. Selling some stuff. by Kimba616Watch

Mannn Scott Pilgrim seems like a fun series. I think it is too late for me to catch it in theaters though.
I'm glad you won. 0:

Duuuuude!!!! CONGRATULATIONS on the WIN!!! That's very impressive. Good that Ramona was well appreciated even with out the wig being styled. You made out like a bandit this go around with your hats!

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – Campbellsville University Fighting Tiger Football has moved its annual Maroon/White Game to Monday, April 15 at 7 p.m. EDT at Citizens Bank Field and Finley Stadium. The game was originally scheduled for Thursday, April 11, but has been changed due to a threat of severe weather.
"It's been a tremendous offseason for us coming off a challenging year. The guys responded really well, and the coaching staff has really responded and hit the recruiting trail obviously, but also getting our systems together," said CU head coach Perry Thomas. "We've been healthy, and it's given us a chance to really start to determine who those ones and twos are going to be. It's the first time since we've been here that coming out of spring we're going to have a great idea at who those guys are."
While traditionally spring games may feature a first string offense against a first string defense, the Fighting Tigers are mixing things up this spring. The spring roster was put up for draft prior to spring practice and divided into two 44-man rosters to form the Maroon and White teams.
"The key for us this spring will be how much we develop our guys in our system. We've spent this entire spring finding the top 44 guys that can play in the systems we have, with the fundamentals we use and with that great effort and passion that it takes to be champions," Thomas said.
Since Tuesday, March 12, the Fighting Tiger football players have faced off in Maroon/White challenges during practice. The winner each day received a prize that the other team did not. Some days it was a special treat such as a chicken box, pizza, ice cream or simply being able to leave as soon as practice was over while the other team conditioned.
"We tried to make it mean something to the guys, and we're going to play the spring game in those maroon and white teams," Thomas said.
The game will feature four quarters of action, designed to simulate a regular season game, with the exception of no live returns on kicking game.
"I think you'll see an offense that is pretty explosive and has the ability to run between tackles as well as outside and also can stretch the field," Thomas said. "Hopefully they won't explode much though, because of our very fast defense. This is the quickest defense we've had since we've been here. We've had some fast guys in the past, but we have guys who are very aggressive and fly to the football."
Quarterbacking the Maroon will be redshirt freshmen Taylor Davis (Beechwood HS/Hebron, Ky.) and Eli Mitchell (John Hardin HS/Elizabethtown, Ky.), while returning starter Bryan Parnes (Dodge City JC/Dania Beach, Fla.) and redshirt freshman Tajh Milliken (Central HS/Louisville, Ky.) will be under center for White.
The game may also feature key transfers such as Maroon running back Ben Axon, a Western Kentucky University transfer and former University of South Carolina signee, and Larry Walls (Dodge City JC) as a running back for White. Both have already attracted the attention of NFL scouts this spring.
For a complete look at the Maroon and White rosters, visit http://CampbellsvilleTigers.com/f/Maroon_White_2013.php.
Campbellsville is looking to put a 3-8 season in its rearview mirror when it takes the field Monday night.
"These guys understand that the program slipped a little in the fall and the players and the staff are hungry to get back and prove themselves," Thomas said. "They've worked really hard and met the challenges, now the challenge is to make sure we take care of our business academically and socially and get back here in the fall. I think if we do that, we'll have a special squad."

You may want to talk with several dentists before making a decision. You and your dentist are partners in maintaining your oral health. Take time to ask questions and take notes if that will help you remember your dentist's advice. When you visit the dental office, consider these points:
- Are the reception and waiting areas attractive and welcoming?
- Is the office staff friendly, polite and helpful?
- Did a member of the dental team take your medical and dental history?
- Did the dental team use proper "universal precautions" such as gloves and masks?
- Did they sterilize instruments and disinfect work areas between patients?
- Did the dentist or other dental team member discuss preventive techniques to avoid dental problems?
- Is information provided about fees and payment plans before treatment is scheduled?

For many years now country music and bluegrass artists know they reach the pinnacle of their career when they hit the stage of WSM's "Grand Ole Opry" on the legendary Nashville radio station. The Opry is synonymous with longtime big names in the music industry like Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Marty Robbins, Ernest Tubb, and even more contemporary country stars like Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Josh Turner, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Allison Krauss, Rascal Flatts,Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton and even Darius Rucker!
Well, while the Opry is playing up to those big names who've "made it" in country– where does one go for bluegrass music and the smaller, less-heard-of, names? Well, that's simple…the T.B. Sutton General Store in historic Granville, Tennessee, and they go in droves each Saturday night for the "Sutton Ole Time Music Hour" which is broadcast and recorded from the 1880s era general store.
Show host and creator, Sam Stout, has been in the music industry for many years with his own bands and studio work for the likes of Chet Atkins and others. Stout brings the weekly radio show to life in much the same style and presentation of the the much bigger Opry, but gives the chance for some great local talent to show there musical style for audiences both live in the store during the show and on a host of radio stations across the state and the country each week. The show is also streamed worldwide via several of these stations and even some online-only stations.
Local radio station, MusicRadio 820 WTNW, has added the "Sutton Ole Time Music Hour" to their weekly lineup as well, giving their listeners in and around the valley a chance to hear the artists and talent showcased on the program each week. WTNW plays a 60s and 70s "Classic Hits" format during the week, but station manager Logan Carmichael says the "Sutton Ole Time Music Hour" fits the bill for what WTNW is trying to achieve with local programming in other hours.
"I first heard of the show a few years back, and having been a fan of the Opry and a lover for the 'old radio sound', I was very intrigued." said Carmichael.
"When the opportunity to add the show to our lineup came about, I knew it would be the perfect addition to the station's weekend lineup!"
Carmichael, who's been with the local station for several years, continued by saying that while WTNW plays a "regular format" during the weekday hours, the station devotes many of its' weekend hours to local programming, or programming that's centered around Tennessee or special interests of the listeners in the local community.
"We already feature a very popular show, Cold Mountain Bluegrass, hosted by Kyle Holland on Saturday mornings at 8am, and an almost full-day of southern gospel and religious programming on Sundays…so this show seemed like a natural fit for the station, and is very Tennessee-centric — which is what we love!"
Starting on Sunday, April 27th, you can tune in to WTNW for the "Sutton Ole Time Music Hour" at 8am Central Time. WTNW is located at 820 AM on the radio dial, and can also be streamed over the internet from their website at www.wtnw820.com, or via the TuneIn Radio app for iPhone iOS, Android, and other mobile devices.
And if you're ever in the Granville, Tennessee area…make sure you stop by and check out the T.B. Sutton General Store. They're open Wednesday through Friday from 10am – 3pm, and on Saturday from 10am – 8pm, and have great food including sandwiches, great southern-style cooking, meat and three items, breads, desserts, and more. You can even join them for a family-style dinner and the live radio broadcast on Saturday nights, but make sure you make reservations first — seating is limited!

A funky and fresh new generation of jazz is present in Boston's famous Scullers Jazz Club. Filling two sets at the club, Grace Kelly — a Boston native — performed both original music as well as covers featuring music old and new. The Twenty-One year old has tremendous stage presence and talent that is perhaps only matched by her approachable friendly personality towards her fans. Crowds at Scullers often vary in age and demographic but her show attracted a wide variety of interest including younger jazz fans. Her emotionally compositional styling was powerful in "Don't Box Me In", featured on her "Live at Scullers" album. The songs harmonies pull on heart strings while contrasts in dynamics and complexity amplify the ethos. In the 2014 Scullers performance, Grace played new arrangements and pieces, some of which were only rehearsed at sound check. With the natural talent and flexible control over her instrument and ensemble, she was able to play the pieces at a level of expertise the club is used to and allow the music to take on its own unique living character. Grace's arrangement of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" was well adapted for her ensemble and a hit with the crowd. If you missed her this time you can still check out some of her awesome music on her web site http://www.gracekellymusic.com/ . Be sure to check out all her tour dates, she just might be coming to a city near you!

Is Dow Theory Dead?
L.A. Little
For one thing, although it is called the "industrial index," no longer are industrials the largest sector.
Dow Theory is the oldest US market-timing theory. It was created at the turn of the 20th century when Charles H. Dow and William Peter Hamilton were fashioning a methodology for staying on the right side of the long-term trend. In their simple wisdom they surmised that if both the companies producing goods and moving them to the markets were increasing in value, then the economy must be doing well and thus the trend would remain higher.
To track this behavior they created the
Dow Jones Industrial
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) and Rail averages with the latter eventually becoming the
Transportation Average
(INDEXDJX:DJT). There were some rules added with the most important being the confirmation, or lack thereof, between the two averages. If one moved to new highs the other needed to confirm that behavior and do so within a reasonable period of time.
There are several Dow Theory newsletters still published, and though each can offer different interpretations about the market, they all take the original assumption for granted: that if the companies producing goods and moving them to markets are increasing in value, then the market will move higher. More importantly, another basic assumption is that the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Transportation Average continue to reflect those two important parts of the economy -- but do they?
Although there is little to argue with in terms of the Transportation Index's composition, the Industrial Average is a different story. Less than a month ago, it underwent a significant shake-up that fundamentally altered it, making the financials the dominant sector. Have we really matured to the point where the financial sector can be considered our nation's primary product?
Although it is called the "industrial index," no longer are industrials the largest sector.
In fact, consumer discretionary isn't all that far behind the industrial sector at this point. The financial and discretionary sectors now account for 40% of the Dow Jones Industrial Index. Is that what Dow and Hamilton would have considered as requiring tracking some 100 years later?
McGraw Hill
(NYSE:MHFI) teamed up with others to take the dominant stake in the DJIA, we probably should have seen this coming. More and more, the Dow is turning into a miniaturized version of the
S&P 500 Index
To be fair, there clearly are some differences still, but the gaps are narrowing, not widening. Within a few years it will probably make sense to pull the name "Industrial" from the index since it clearly is a misnomer, but the value of the name will never allow that happen. Instead, it will morph into something totally different than what it began as, which poses the question: Is Dow Theory, as we know it, dead?
No positions in stocks mentioned.

Mo Fitzgerald scored a pair of goals in leading the University of Oregon soccer team to a 4-0 home win over Arizona on Friday at Pape' Field in Eugene. The win was the Ducks' second straight, improving to 6-8-3 overall and 2-3-1 in Pac-10 Conference play. The Wildcats dropped to 5-10-2 overall and 1-5 in league action.EUGENE, Ore. -- Sophomore midfielder
Senior forward Jen Stoltenberg, who assisted on Fitzgerald's second goal, took over as UO's all-time points leader (84) surpassing the school record held by former great Nicole Garbin. The assist was Stoltenberg's 18th of her career, adding to her school mark in that category. She has also added to her single-season points mark (29), breaking her own mark of 26 in last week's road matches.
"Made a statement with the win, it was awesome to see us come out with that energy," head coach Tara Erickson said. "We're just finally getting on the positive side of things, which have been building all year. We've been a consistent team and it was great to see us put an exclamation point on that tonight."
The Ducks held a commanding lead in shots taken (16-6) and shots on goal (7-1), and a 4-3 advantage in corner kick opportunities. Both teams were whistled for nine fouls.
UO registered its third shutout of the season, with junior goalkeepers Lindsay Parlee and Cody Miles splitting time for the win. Three Ducks played the full 90 minutes – senior Bree Rowe and sophomores Scout Libke and Lauren Thompson.
"The unsung hero of the match was Bree Rowe, who did really good job of organizing and communicating," Erickson said of her senior defender. "She was a fantastic defensive presence which showed on the clean sheet."
Oregon jumped out to the early 1-0 lead just 2:08 in to the game when senior forward Rianna Mansfield scored her first goal of the season. Mansfield, a senior from Eugene, pressured UA goalkeeper Ashley Jett into spilling a loose ball, then dribbled into the 6-yard box and scored into an empty net.
"I think when Rianna scored that early goal, it was indicative of the energy we opened with," Erickson said. "And it the energy was equal across the board from so many players. That was reflected in the goals, as almost all of them were combination play created by two or three players."
Fitzgerald, from Beaverton, Ore., tallied goals in the 14th and 49th minutes, her first scores of the season.
The Ducks took the 2-0 advantage when senior midfielder Mercedes Walters took a break-away nearly the length of the field, before playing a crossing pass right-to-left to Fitzgerald who finished with a one-timer.
UO had a 2-0 lead at the half, having out-shot the Wildcats, 7-2, while also up 2-1 in corners.
Oregon's third goal, which was Fitzgerald's second of the game, was virtually the same sequence as her first score. This time it was freshman forward Brynne Konkel finding Stoltenberg, who dribbled down the right side and crossed it into Fitzgerald waiting at the back post.
"She's a great possession player for us, because of her technical abilities and her positioning," Erickson said of Fitzgerald. "Tonight we saw her add another element to her game, an urgency to get into the box and finish goals."
Sophomore midfielder Maddy Mercier scored her first career goal, establishing a four-goal lead for the Ducks in the 71st minute. Walters crossed a pass into the 6-yard box to Mercier for her second assist of the game.
"Mercedes obviously played well, putting her stamp on the game," Erickson said. "And we also received some solid contribution from players off the bench, some quality minutes for those reserves."
UO had 10 players record shots on the night, with Mansfield and Fitzgerald registering a team-high three apiece. Fitzgerald, who played 68 minutes, scored on both of her shots on goal. Mercier, who played 44 minutes coming off bench, had two shots with the one shot on target.
Oregon (6-8-3, 2-3-1 Pac-10) will face Arizona State on Sunday at 12 p.m. (PT) at Pape' Field. That contest marks Senior Day for the Ducks.

Knicks playin some good ball right now. Gotta keep it up going into the next half cause you know Doc's chewing them out right now. Let's go KNICKS!!!!!
Wow. Almost a perfect 1st half. Couldn't ask for something more, right. 51-39! The good thing about BOS is they can be downright putrid on offense. For a team with our defensive deficiencies... that plays in our favor.
This is the 13th meeting between BOS-NY in the playoffs. 6-6 is the record!
Eat that Big Gaby you ****ing buttered potato.
Ronny T is the X factor tonight!!!
Both STAT n Melo got good rests - not planned obviously for Melo.
Billups ------------- ice water stalwart
SUPERB 1st half. Couldn't really ask for anything better..They made it all happen with their D. Very active, everyone showing good hands. Really making every shot hard on Boston. Seemed like more than half of their positions have gone right down to the last sec or two on the shot clock....How 'bout Amar'e just takin' Big baby to the cleaners on that dunk boy? Still think Amar'e's not hard to guard you piece of sh^%? F that little goofy-looking jerkoff.
The thing is guys... We did not play GREAT basketball... We can actually play better than this! Our defense was really good though, and the offense got smooth in the second. The first quarter was only ok though. If we play good for 2 more quarters we got this game.
You know the Celtics are going to come out playing hard after half time, and again at the start of the fourth if they are still down like this. What we need is top quality defense at the start of quarters. Make sure we are playing Turiaf/Amare/Jefferies/Walker/Melo/TD any of the above to quell their energy.
We got this guys. NYK all day baby
Gotta give credit where credit is due. The OP did an excellent job with this thread. Or should I say OP's...
Man if we play like this we win a chip. Great balance outside and inside. Great defensive effort...
Love seeing Barkley looking like the stupid fool he is
Do any of you guys know when there going to

Tony Gutierrez, Associated Press
MESQUITE, Texas — President Barack Obama is naming names.
First he singled out House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
On Tuesday, Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., came in for a presidential scolding as Obama used an economic sales pitch in Texas to criticize the House majority leader for refusing to take up the president's jobs bill.
"Eric Cantor said that right now, he won't even let this jobs bill have a vote in the House of Representatives. That's what he said. Won't even let it be debated," Obama said in a speech at a community college in Mesquite, a Dallas suburb. "Think about that. What's the problem? Do they not have the time? They just had a week off. Is it inconvenient?"
"At least put this jobs bill up for a vote so that the entire country knows exactly where members of Congress stand," the president said. "Put your cards on the table."
Even as Obama spoke, McConnell was attempting to call his bluff by pushing for a quick Senate vote on the jobs bill, which Senate Democrats have acknowledged doesn't have the support to pass. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid objected so he could delay action until Democrats can corral more support.
It underscored Obama's dilemma as he travels the country seeking to isolate Republicans to take the blame if his jobs bill doesn't pass — without a clear strategy for ensuring it does.
The approach puts the Obama administration at risk of appearing to use the president's $447 billion jobs bill as a political weapon rather than as a means of fixing the nation's economic woes and putting Americans back to work.
And it relies heavily on the assumption that the public won't also hold Obama accountable if he can't get Congress to act.
Obama spoke a day after Cantor said that while the plan contained elements that Republicans could support, "this all or nothing approach is unreasonable."
Cantor's spokesman, Brad Dayspring, disputed Obama's criticism.
"If House Republicans sent our plan for America's job creators to the president, would he promise not to veto it in its entirety? Would he travel district to district and explain why he'd block such common-sense ideas to create jobs?" Dayspring said. "House Republicans have different ideas on how to grow the economy and create jobs, but that shouldn't prevent us from trying to find areas of common ground with the president."
The president charges that it's Republicans who won't work with him.
"I realize that some Republicans in Washington are resistant, partly because I proposed it. If I took the party platform and proposed it, they'd suddenly be against it," he said Tuesday.
Yet the president's efforts to negotiate the bill with the opposition on Capitol Hill have been at most limited.
Unlike earlier legislative fights, there are no formal negotiations taking place between the White House and congressional leaders over how to advance the bill. No one in the administration has been named to work with Congress on the measure. And the president hasn't discussed the bill with congressional leaders since formally unveiling it about a month ago.
Instead, he is focusing on trying to sell the bill to the American people during speeches across the country, and asking listeners to pressure Republicans to back it.
"Do your job, Congress!" Obama chided Tuesday and exhorted his supporters: "I need you all to lift up your voice."
By the time Obama got to his refrain of "Pass this bill!" the crowd in a packed gymnasium at Eastfield College was on its feet.

Wait for it. A new California/Italian deli called Appetito is about to open in Palm Springs across from the Ace Hotel at 1700 South El Camino Real. A real treat for local denizens and visitors, the menu will do a modern take on the classic Italian eatery "promising great food, fun, value and a sense of community', according to its press release.
Available dishes range from house made pastas to panini and focaccia pizza created by Chef Chad Shaner, a CIA-Hyde Park graduate and Union Square Cafe alum (along with Patrick Service). "Appetito has been a dream of mine for many years," says co-owner, Patrick Service. "We've found the perfect location in south Palm Springs….great for neighbors and for visitors from nearby hotels."
The owners are banking on the deli becoming a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists and it sounds like they might be on the right track. The also expect to serve the young, hip and happening guests from the nearby Ace Hotel who may want a change of pace (but the food at the Ace is pretty darn good). Of course it does sound like it will go over big with the more mature Palm Springs residents who relocated from New York years ago, if you get my drift. Naturally the Diva will do her sampling and review after it opens.
Meanwhile visit the famous Carnegie Deli in Manhattan by viewing the video we conveniently attached to this piece.

While Google are busy battling a censorship case with the Indian government, The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Competition Commission of India is launching an antitrust investigation of Google, where they'll examine the company's alleged "discriminatory and retaliatory practices relating to AdWords".
Where did this all stem from? A complaint filed from Consim Info Pvt. Ltd., who is an Indian web conglomerate which apparently requested that the Competition Commission step in to ensure fair competition in online advertising.
What the investigation is set out to do isn't 100-percent clear, but the commission will start off by taking a look at AdWords and go from there. Google are in for a treat this year, it seems.

Derriere is a high fashion clothing store in Grand Theft Auto IV. Advertisements for the company is seen all over Liberty City, most prominently in Star Junction. It is featured in the in-game website www.peepthatshit.com under the "High Fashion" shopping section. Citizens of Liberty City can sometimes be seen wearing Derriere attire. Jeremy St. Ives can be seen wearing a black Derriere shirt on the show The Men's Room.
The store's name comes from the word derrière, meaning a person's buttocks. The logo itself is a giant buttock, separated by a crack in the middle. Interestingly enough, when first glanced at, the logo bears somewhat of a resemblance to the Coco Chanel logo.

The New Controversy Surrounding Fingerprint Evidence
These days, DNA evidence is all the rage. That is, courtroom dramas love to portray criminal defense cases in which traces of DNA prove a suspect guilty-or innocent. And, as criminal defense attorneys learn to use this kind of evidence, DNA is exonerating prisoners around the country.
In fact, DNA is so popular that few people stop to consider its older, less flashy predecessor-fingerprint evidence. Used for more than 100 years in criminal defense cases, fingerprint evidence has been widely accepted by lawyers, judges and the public as a surefire way to peg someone's identity. But a Maryland judge recently made a decision that could change all that.
Susan M. Souder, a Baltimore County Circuit Judge, ruled that fingerprints would be inadmissible in the murder trial of Bryan Rose, reports the Baltimore Sun. Her ruling, according to sources, is based on criteria set forth in 2002 about what can be admitted as evidence in criminal trials.
Apparently, fingerprint evidence does not meet those standards.
Even though criminal trials have used fingerprint evidence for more than a century, it may not be the most accurate way of determining who committed a crime. Sources show that in 1905, an early fingerprint expert noted that, even though it can be assumed that no two people share a set of ten fingerprints, using partial or distorted fingerprints to solve crimes is a bit of a stretch.
And yet, during the next 102 years of crime-solving, investigators continued to use them.
What's more, fingerprint experts are reportedly required to report their examinations as 100% certain-even when there's a possibility of error.
Judge Souder allegedly declared she accepts the notion that no two people share full sets of fingerprints. But, reports indicate, she believes smudged, smeared, or distorted fingerprints (the type found at crime scenes) are insufficient to link a person to an act.
In the Baltimore case, Rose could face the death penalty if convicted of the murder, the Sun reports. But the prosecuting attorneys were apparently shocked by Souder's decision. In fact, Rose's trial was postponed so that the prosecution could gather relevant evidence besides his fingerprints, which were found at the scene of the crime.
Although Souder's ruling is unprecedented for a criminal trial, it's not the first time fingerprint evidence has been called into question.
In 2004, fingerprints linked a terrorist attack in Spain to an American man who had no valid passport, and who apparently hadn't left the U.S. in ten years. Luckily, investigations continued and he was cleared when DNA evidence pointed to another man.
Even exonerations of prison inmates have happened when new evidence has disproved fingerprint evidence.
In Baltimore, some officials are reportedly worried that Souder's ruling will unsettle the criminal justice system. Many fear that not having a system-wide standard for accepting fingerprint evidence will mean that the outcome of a trial could depend on the judge hearing it.
If Souder's decision has as large an impact as many expect it to, criminal defense cases across the country could be affected.

Deputy Assistant Secretary and U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and Information Policy, Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs
Thank you for the invitation to speak. As the U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and Information Policy, I appreciate the opportunity to respond to the Minister's comments and the Ambassador's presentation.
As we consider the question of the role of governments in multistakeholder cooperation, the United States remains optimistic that the IGF community will stay strong in its commitment to the multistakeholder system. That system is rooted in the belief that through collaboration and inclusive participation of all the Internet's stakeholders, we spur innovation and reach consensus based decisions that enable the interconnection and interoperability of networks in a seamless, global Internet that empowers people the world over.
That network, the Internet, was a grand experiment 30 years ago; today, it is a crucial part of the global economy, of free expression, and of inclusive economic development.
It is also a system that has continually improved to be more transparent, better serve the needs of Internet users and their governments, and adapt to the increasingly dynamic world in which we live.
The United States has a longstanding interest in strengthening the multi-stakeholder system, and conversations with governments and other stakeholders across the world are part of those efforts.
Over the years various proposals have suggested that a single, intergovernmental bodyshould be enlisted to strengthen the role of governments in existing multi-stakeholder processes. I want to note that the U.S. Government respects these ideas, and that we are members in good standing of those very institutions in which they have been raised. I applaud the effort and thought put into these proposals, and I believe they reflect how we all aspire to promote a multistakeholder system in which all stakeholders are encouraged to participate and treated equally. But it is also true that such proposals may do little to meaningfully improve global access to an innovative, accessible Internet. In fact, they could even work against that goal.
The multistakeholder system has proven itself more successful than any preexisting model for the deployment and governance of a new technology. Nonetheless, its improvement is something that all stakeholders have sought from its inception. And the rising rate of stakeholder participation in the system, including that of governments, proves that the community has made ongoing and demonstrable progress toward full inclusion.
Ideally, any suggestions for further improvements in the Internet governance system would not just focus on any one institution or narrowly on the role of governments, which could disadvantage other equally important stakeholders.
We will continue to seek to expand the discussion beyond strengthening the hand of government in Internet institutions to ensuring that all stakeholders are paid their due respect and afforded a meaningful and equal opportunity to participate. Civil society, academia, and others have also called for a strengthening of their roles and we must also address their concerns.
We fully acknowledge the need to find ways to better integrate governments and other stakeholders from developing nations into the multistakeholder Internet governance institutions that exist today. And more importantly, so do those institutions. We applaud Brazil's commitment to multistakeholder governance at home and abroad. We offer our hand of friendship in a joint effort to expand the role of all stakeholders from the developing world, including the vibrant civil society and industry actors in Latin America and we would posit that the ITU may be just one of numerous entities that can assist in that effort and may actually not be the best one to do so.
We also note with admiration that Brazil's pending Marco Civil legislation, s originally drafted and introduced was a collaborative work. I met with the bill's author in Brazil and he walked me through the inclusive and transparent process that included open public debates on the text. That process produced a call for a free and open Internet in Brazil and I would note it did not include a call for the forced localization of data. Brazil deserves praise for the multistakeholder process it went through to construct this legislation.
Further, we have followed with interest the recent news stories about the new Internet Summit to be held in Brazil in April 2014. I want to take this opportunity, as I sit here with my Brazilian counterpart, to reiterate that the US and Brazil share a vision of the Internet that ensures freedom of expression, security, and respect for human rights. We also share an interest in strengthening the existing democratic governance structures with input from governments, civil society, and the private sector. Given the common principles and vision that the U.S. and Brazil share, I appreciate Brazil's leadership role on this issue and we look forward to hearing more about what the Summit will seek to achieve.
But as we approach that summit, please understand that the U.S. government strongly believes that the global community is best positioned to benefit from a vibrant, growing Internet environment where commercial, civil society and governmental stakeholders jointly participate in the existing distributed set of Internet institutions, each performing specific tasks without unnecessary duplication or encroachment on the roles of others.
Again, we welcome debate, discussion, cooperation, and collaboration. And we hope that we can get to a place where everyone, particularly our friends in the developing world, can fully engage in the multistakeholder system, helping to bolster its accountability, inclusiveness, and responsiveness to the needs of global community of Internet users
Let us think creatively in order to bring more developing country governments, along with their counterparts in civil society, academia, and industry to the table of our multi-stakeholder Internet institutions. And let us grow and evolve together. After all, that's what has brought us here today – a common appreciation for the good that the Internet has enabled and an interest in the future of the Internet; so let's collectively move forward to ensure that we make the most of this compelling opportunity.

Video Highlights and Interviews
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane's 31st-ranked golf team saved its best round for the final day, as the Green Wave combined for a 4-under 284 total and a 10th place finish in the 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate Golf Championship at the English Turn Golf & Country Club.
Today, four of Tulane's five players shot even or better, including sophomore Silvia Garces (-2), sophomore Madison Opfer (-1), freshmen Belen Goicoechea (-1) and sophomore Emily Penttila (E), while sophomore Gemma Dryburgh carded a 3-over 75. Freshman Olivia Winning played as an individual and also produced a 3-over 75 today.
Penttila completed the event as the Wave's top individual with a 3-over 219 for a 32nd place finish, while Dyrburgh and Opfer each posted a pair of 4-over 220s for 37th place and Goicoechea totaled an 8-over 224 for 58th place. Winning was 5-over with a 223 and finished in 53rd place.
"I was happy with our performance today," Tulane head coach Lorne Don said. "We had a talk in the van before the round and just said `we need to come out focused, we need to come out determined.' We are on our home course and we obviously did not have a good second round, so we needed to see if we could rebound from that today and I think they did an excellent job. All five of them were in today's round. We talk about that often in college golf. If you can have all five players playing well it just sort of feeds through the line-up. And that's what we had today. Obviously Belen had a great round going at five-under and gave a few back but we showed some signs of, again, being a very good golf team."
"Unfortunately we had that one bad round in the second round that sort of cost us the chance at a very high finish in the tournament. We've been really touching on the consistency piece quite a bit here in the last month and it sort of showed up again. We're going to keep moving forward and keep working on it and hopefully by the time we get to conference, regionals and nationals they are going to be firing on all cylinders and we are going to be a great golf team," Don added.
"I played really solid today," Penttila said. "I didn't hit the ball as well as yesterday, but I stayed patient and hung in there and made a couple birdies coming in so that was good. The greens were soft and the course was in great shape considering the circumstances. I think as a team we were really determined out there today. We knew the job needed to get done and we all went out really focused and ready to play golf."
Second-ranked UCLA took home the team title after finishing as the runner-up a year ago. The Bruins 21-under 843 total is the team tournament record for a 54-holes. UCLA edged Pac-12 rival and top-ranked USC, the 2011 and 2013 champions, by six strokes. Florida was third, followed by Denver in fourth place and Clemson and Alabama each tied for fifth place.
"We putted quite well the last two rounds, starting out yesterday afternoon making some putts," UCLA head coach Carrie Forsyth. "Our team usually hits it pretty well and we hit it pretty close. The thing is whether or not we can make our putts. We were able to do that the last two days and that was a big part of it today.
"With not knowing the conditions here with the amount of rain we were having and if we were going to be able to play each day, every shot become so important because you don't know how many holes you're going to be able to get in or how many rounds you're going to be able to complete. We were really in a mindset that we were going to go out and attack the course. We never had a bad lie because the conditions and the conditions they had to put into effect. Playing from the rough lies all the time, you have to make sure you can make your putts when you have to."
In the individual race, Auburn's Marta Sanz set the tournament 54-hole total individual record with an 8-under 208 to capture 2014 individual medalist honors after starting the day in third place. Denver's Tonje Daffinrud finished second with a 7-under 209.
"The day held on fine. I started parring the first few holes, but I knew I had to get back a few shots and started birdying and played really well," Sanz said. "I hit some really good shots onto the greens which gave me some birdie opportunities, and the putting was on fire. I learned from (the course) every day and tried not to make the same mistakes from the second round yesterday to today. Today, it was just simple golf.
"I think it's (the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate Golf Championship) one of the greatest tournaments before the postseason. The great teams from the West come and all the ACC teams are here. They do a great job of hosting it and I'm really proud to win with so many really good players here."
"This tournament is just a fantastic event with the support of the Allstate Sugar Bowl. To have a tournament like this at English Turn with the support of the golf club and the membership here, it's really a special opportunity. It's something that most teams don't get the chance to do, and it's something that we looked forward to this year and we'll look forward to for years to come," Don said.
Tulane will take a few weeks before returning to action at the LSU Tiger Golf Classic, March 21-13, at The University Club in Baton Rouge.

The Independence Bowl is not a Big 12 bowl. The Big 12 has 8 bowls this year and is actually cutting back to 7 starting next year. Nobody expected to have nine teams bowl-eligible.

Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
Madame Bovary Love Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph). We used Lowell Bair's translation.
Quote #7
[Rodolphe] made her into something compliant and corrupt. She remained under the influence of a kind of idiotic infatuation, full of admiration for him and sensuality for herself, a blissful torpor; and her soul, sinking into that intoxication, shriveled and drowned like the Duke of Clarence in his butt of malmsey. (II.12.23)
This description of Emma's love for Rodolphe is pretty repellent. Their love is not a respectful, beautiful mutual thing; instead, he treats her like an animal, and she, totally intoxicated by him, allows herself to be manipulated.
Quote #8
But disparaging those we love always detaches us from them to some extent. It is better not to touch our idols: the gilt comes off on our hands. (III.6.23)
Here, Flaubert touches upon a sad truth; once we start to pick out the flaws in the ones we love, they often lose their magic, and things start to fall apart.
Quote #9
[Léon] resented her continuous victory over him. He even tried to force himself to stop loving her, but as soon as he heard her footsteps he would feel helplessly weak, like a drunkard at the sight of liquor. (III.6.25)
Now Léon is the one in intoxicated thrall to his lover. Just as Emma was powerless in her relationship with Rodolphe, so too is Léon here. He's addicted to Emma, despite his longing to escape from her.

Solar Fuel Starting Up
Believe it or not, solar fuel may be on its way to commercial success. That is if all goes well for Sun Catalytix, a Boston-area solar startup which just announced funding from the reputable venture capital firm, Polaris Venture Partners. This unique concept, so-called solar fuel, is the brain child of MIT professor Daniel Nocera. Photo Credit: Kosmix His technology uses solar energy to power hydrogen fuel cells in a car. Nocera's system works by placing an electrode in water containing phosphate and cobalt. According to MIT, when electricity enters that electrode, the cobalt and phosphate will create a film around it. That in turn will act as a catalyst that separates oxygen gas from the water, leaving hydrogen molecules behind. Then a second platinum catalyst is used to convert the hydrogen molecules into hydrogen gas, which can power fuel cells and therefore vehicles. Two significant hurdles may remain, although Sun Catalytix is very secretive about its state of affairs. The first is to develop a material that can absorb enough solar energy to begin the water splitting reaction. The second is to find a metal cheaper than platinum to catalyze the latter reaction and power the fuel cells. Via Xconomy

Secrets of Success
Day 44 of Insanity
Friday, October 04, 2013
Today is Day 44 of Insanity, and I have mixed feelings. Today was max Interval circuit – it's the longest workout in the whole program, a full 60 minutes long… and that really gets to me. Not the workout, but the number. Just the number. It's hard for me to find the motivation to get up and do the workout knowing how long it is. My alarm went off this morning.. and I hit snooze, as usual, twice (I know you're not supposed to hit snooze because it's a time waster, but I do anyway). Then I laid there. Just laid there – that number 60 flying around me, over my head, taunting me. I kept thinking, "I should do it tonight, when I'm in the right frame of mind, able to get into it, won't be late to work, ughhhh, 60 minutes… 60 minutes…. 60 minutes…." Thought after thought after thought: Maybe I should do a different workout… maybe I could do a month 1 workout that's shorter… maybe I can fit it in tonight after I visit my friend's sister in the rehab center… maybe this, maybe that, maybe, maybe, maybe… 60 minutes! Finally, after laying there for about 25 minutes I was awake enough to get past the 60 minutes and bound out of bed and start the workout. But 25 minutes late starting it means it would go 25 minutes late which would mean I would be late to work! At first I didn't care since I'm salary and work plenty of extra hours anyway, but then I decided I didn't want it to become habit, and since I was just complaining yesterday and the day before about my circumstances at work with things that I wanted to continue to be a model employee and not let myself develop any bad routines or mindsets out of frustration. So in the end I cut out 1 rep of each of the 3 different sets of exercises, and I did quicker stretching than he does. I was still a little late to work, but not by much, and I got a partial workout it.
I was kicking myself though because as I was doing the workout I was full of energy! I was jumping and moving and had power and control, and was able to push myself better than ever. Now I wonder how it would have gone if I had done the whole workout. Tomorrow is Plyo and I'm looking forward to doing the whole workout and seeing how much more my body can do.
My weekend has filled up a bit. Yesterday morning I had no plans and now today I am visiting my friends sister tonight after work (she had a stroke! 20 years old and she had a stroke that has paralyzed ˝ her body. They think she'll make a full recovery and be able to regain control of her body, but everyone is just in shock. No family history, non smoker, non drinker, 20 years old – they have no idea yet what caused it), tomorrow night I get to babysit the bebe's again (SO EXCITED! Niece:9, nephew:7, and niece:2 1/2), and Sunday I'll be going with my Aunt to pick up my Uncle from a dock from moving his boat down there. So I'm not sure what else I'll fit in to my weekend for workouts besides Insanity, but usually on the weekend I take a walk or do some activity. I still want to see what I'm capable of on the track, so I might head there. Maybe I could do that Sunday morning and I could do my recovery workout after picking up my Uncle. We'll see.
Hope you're all having a Sparktastic Day, and do a better job getting your workout in then I did!

I give you a LOT of credit for getting up at all. I can not get myself up early to work out for anything.

There's no rule that you must absolutely do the whole workout in the morning. When you find yourself stuck on 'this will take 60 minutes" maybe you could tell yourself that you'll do the first 15 minutes then decide if you want to keep going or if you want to fast forward to the cool down. Then you're removing that "60 minutes" mental block and giving yourself the chance to get into the workout before deciding. If you do cut it short you can finish it later in the day or decide to skip the rest should you get busy. It gives you options.

I know what you mean! When I know my workout is 30 mins or less, I can usually muster up the energy to do it on my "I don't want to workout" days. However, when a long workout is scheduled (anything over 45 mins is long for me) it makes it that much harder to press play! Good news is you got a partial workout in! Even greater news is the fact that since your partial workout was a month 2 Insanity workout, it counts as a full workout if you base it off of any other workouts!
Sounds like you have a very busy weekend. I hope everything goes well and hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Don't think ahead about what workout you are going to do the next day, clear your mind of that extra information. Just set your clock and get up at the same time (make sure it leaves you ample time to do the 60 minute workout), and surprise yourself each morning - just read the workout calendar. This will eliminate the time dread ! No more "60 minutes" flying around and giving you a chance to procrastinate. You are doing great ! Love your blogs !

I think you just got a scenic view of "The Slippery Slope". Once you let yourself negotiate your way out of doing something it will be easier each time to talk yourself out of it.
I find that any time I have to make a decision about what to eat or when or whether or not to exercise, I've subconsciously given myself permission to blow it off if I feel like it.
When I'm determined to develop a new habit (the one I've been working on for the past couple of months is getting enough veggies each day) I have to make the terms non-negotiable and permanent. Yes, it means that change comes slower to me than to some, but I no longer have to think about those old habits, nor about the new. They're just routine and I just do them.
Not meaning to be a downer, just offering some cautionary advice! Hope you have a great weekend!

The paper uses both the author's experience of research training, and the empirical studies of autism in which he participated over the last 40-plus years, to derive research lessons and to consider the needs and prospects for future research. Attention is drawn to: the importance of mentors; the need to use technologies in a hypothesis-testing fashion; the important of possible creative/innovative leaps and of recognition of the unexpected; the need to ask challenging questions and to recognize when the original ideas were mistaken. There is great value in broadening the scientific strategies used to investigate a particular condition and much is to be gained by deliberately seeking parallels with other conditions.

Mercilessby Lori Armstrong
Torn between her duties to the FBI and her need to keep her loved ones safe, former black-ops army sniper Mercy Gunderson must unleash the cold, dark, merciless killer inside her and become the predator . . . rather than the prey. Newly minted agent Mercy Gunderson is back and ready for action-- unfortunately, she's stuck doing paperwork in an overheated government office building. But she gets more than she bargained for when she's thrown into her first FBI murder case, working with the tribal police on the Eagle River Reservation, where the victim is the teenage niece of the recently elected tribal president. When another gruesome killing occurs during the early stages of the investigation, Mercy and fellow FBI agent Shay Turnbull are at odds about whether the crimes are connected. Due to job confidentiality, Mercy can't discuss her misgivings about the baffling cases with her boyfriend, Eagle River County sheriff Mason Dawson, and the couple's home on the ranch descends into chaos when Dawson's eleven-year-old son Lex is sent to live with them. While Mercy struggles to find a balance, hidden political agendas and old family vendettas turn ugly, masking motives and causing a rift among the tribal police, the tribal council, and the FBI. Soon, however, Mercy realizes that the deranged killer is still at large--and is playing a dangerous game with his sights set on Mercy as his next victim.
Mercy Killby Lori Armstrong
Former Black Ops army sniper Mercy Gunderson isn't adjusting well to the laid-back rhythm of civilian life on her family's ranch in South Dakota. To fill her time, Mercy accepts a temporary bartending gig at a local watering hole. Yet her attempts to settle in back home are tested when Titan Oil, a Canadian company proposing to run an underground pipeline through Eagle River County, sends Jason Hawley, Mercy's former army buddy, to the area to convince ranchers to get behind the project. While local business owners support the pipeline, Hawley's presence riles the landowners, and Mercy is torn. After ugly threats and multiple altercations escalate tensions in the county, Mercy discovers Hawley's brutally mutilated body in the bar parking lot. When it appears Sheriff Dawson cares more about campaigning for reelection than investigating the case, Mercy vows to find Jason Hawley's killer--even if she has to run against Dawson for sheriff to ensure justice is served. But Mercy soon learns her former military pal had plenty of secrets. Her search for the truth brings unwanted exposure to the county's dark side and risks deadly repercussions for the entire community.
No Mercyby Lori Armstrong
Former Army sniper Mercy Gunderson hunts down the killer of Native American teens in the first book in a gripping new mystery series.
Silent Mercyby Lori Armstrong
Recently returned from training at Quantico, FBI agent Mercy Gunderson stirs up trouble and uses her rarely seen feminine side to seduce her unsuspecting boyfriend, sexy-as-sin Sheriff Mason Dawson. When she revs up her Viper to get his attention while he's on patrol, tempers and sparks fly--but their rendezvous is interrupted by a disturbing cry for help. The pair rush to the scene, where Mercy discovers that even though she can't always save the day, she doesn't have to be silent about it...
Towson University (The Campus History Series)by Angie Brickhouse Nancy Gonce Karen Lowman Dean Esslinger Lori Armstrong
In 1866, the Maryland State Normal School opened its doors in downtown Baltimore with the goal of training its 11 students to teach in the state's public school system. From then on, the school underwent dramatic transformations of name and program, eventually becoming Towson University in 1997. The collected images in this volume depict the 140 years of Towson University's growth, including the campus's architectural gems, such as Stephens Hall, built in 1915, and the university's students, faculty, staff, and alumni, who are the heart of the academic community. Towson University, Maryland's metropolitan university, is nationally recognized for its excellent programs in the arts and sciences, communications, business, health professions, education, fine arts, and computer science. The university attracts its diverse 17,600 students from 48 states and more than 100 countries, and offers more than 100 degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences and the applied professional fields. Towson University commemorates the school's 140th anniversary, celebrating a rich history and dynamic future.
