White House, LEED, President Obama
The White House may soon be a "green house" if President Obama has his way.

The president's home is well on its way to eco-friendliness with features such as an organic vegetable garden and a swing set made from recycled materials, shredded tires and nontoxic dyes. President Obama, however, wants to take it a step further with the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
In order to meet LEED standards, a number of major changes would have to take place at the White House, including updates for energy, water and waste systems. The home's historical status and required security will also make the process more difficult. Christine Glunz, White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) spokesperson, says the CEQ is looking to reduce the White House's carbon footprint with features such as computerized energy management systems; automatic light sensors that turn off in unoccupied rooms, low-flow water valves and windows that lessen UV rays. Other efforts include using low-VOC paints and sealants and switching to biodegradable cleaners and recycled equipment for the groundskeepers and engineers. Leftover materials from the renovation will go to local reuse organizations.
The administration has already taken steps to green visitors' experience at the White House. Recycling is more accessible, and water fountains have been modified to make it easier for visitors to refill their water bottles.
President Obama isn't the first president to make energy-saving changes to the White House. In 1979 President Jimmy Carter had a solar water heater installed on the roof of the West Wing (later removed by the Reagan administration), and President George W. Bush installed a small photovoltaic system and two small solar water heating systems.
These small steps are good, but we believe it's high time for a full-on green renovation. What do you think? Should the White House aim for LEED certification? Tell me your opinion in the comments section!

When you are heading to Las Vegas on vacation, you want to save money so that you can enjoy your time gambling and eating great. The $20 trick is the best way to do this and still get an amazing hotel room. This is how it works.
You will want to just book a normal room when you book your trip. Don't go for any big upgrades, but do understand there is a chance you could get stuck in it and it might not work. This trick will usually get you a huge upgrade though.
As you hand your credit card to the persona at the hotel desk, tuck a $20 bill in with it. They will see this as a tip for them and help you to get huge upgrades. We tried it in Las Vegas at Treasure Island and were able to get a hotel room with a strip view, extra free coupons, and even a bottle of champagne. This is the way to go!
We also tried this trick in Cancun on a trip. We were able to get an upgrade to an ocean front room. This would have cost several hundred dollars if we had done it when we booked, but instead we got it for $20.
Have you ever tried the $20 trick to save money on a hotel room but still get a great room. Let us know in the comments if it has worked for you. Also make sure you check out the Twenty Dollar Trick website to see what has worked for other people.
If you are interested in having the Oklahoma City Travel Examiner review your facility, please contact Mandy at firstname.lastname@example.com.

MTV released the season 4 opening sequence of "Teen Wolf" on Monday, June 16, exactly one week before the June 23 premiere date. Yes, the season 4 premiere of the supernatural show is less than one week away! (Don't forget to click the link to see the video.)
In the sequence, Scott (Tyler Posey) now has a closeup of his eye turning red as he pounds a pile of sand wearing a jean jacket. Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) has an updated sequence with him hard at work solving the mysteries of Beacon Hills with the help of his strings strewn all over his room.
There is still plenty of skin in the opener, so fans can rejoice. Much of that skin belongs to Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) whose sequence is pretty much the same. Lydia's (Holland Roden) sequence like Derek's hasn't changed too much.
Allison's (Crystal Reed) sequence has been removed due to her character's heroic death near the end of last season. Two new female characters from last season have now been added to the main title sequence. Malia (Shelley Hennig) looks like she's walking through a cave or trying to find a pathway under a tree, and Kira (Arden Cho) is wielding her trusty katana.
The overall tone of the sequence has a golden, warmer tone than the past two seasons. Desert sand seems to play a big part. A desert landscape is the final shot of the sequence.
The sandy landscape could have something to do with the season kicking off with the teens in Mexico following a two-month time jump. "It's a mission to find and save Derek," executive producer Jeff Davis revealed to E! News.
Davis also previewed to E! News, "We have a new central mystery this season and we're doing something different in we're not introducing a whole new mythology. We're basing this mystery in something very personal actually, something that hits at the heart of all our main characters, Scott, Stiles and Lydia, and Derek, especially. This is going to be a big season for Derek. I think people are going to be surprised."
There will still be plenty of bloodshed. Just check out the trailer for season 4. However, according to the stars of the hit werewolf show, there will be a change in tone for this coming season.
"Season 4 so far is a lot like Season 1 was," Dylan O'Brien said in a video via MTV News. "It's sort of, like, stripped down from all the craziness that went on in Season 3."
Tyler Posey agrees, "It's funnier. It's slower-paced — it's more of, like, an action/adventure/comedy."
O'Brien also revealed that the buddy-buddy scenes between his character, Stiles, and Scott will return this season. Yay! (Hopefully Derek will be included in some of that banter too!)
"Teen Wolf" returns Monday, June 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Disappointed in this color Review by AP
As some other reviewers said, the eyeshadow is powdery, not shimmery at all. Got it over a year ago and haven't used it since then. (Posted on 6/17/16)
Shimmery goodness Review by Megan
Creamy shimmer!!! Which I didn't even think was possible until Makeup Geek came along. This one is like icing on a cupcake, it just makes your look better and glamorous. I used it to highlight today as well and while it looked good, I prefer its purpose as a shimmery brow bone highlight. (Posted on 5/26/16)
LOVE Review by Chiara
This is such a pigmented shade for a white! I was so pleasantly surprised with the pigmentation and smoothness of this shadow! I love it! (Posted on 1/17/16)
Did I get a bad batch ? Review by Séverine
Everyone here seems to love this shadow, but while I generally love MUG eyeshadows I have to say that this one does not perform great on me. It is very chalky, patchy and sheer and the glitters seem to separate from the powder to fly everywhere... Maybe I got a bad one ? (Posted on 5/11/15)
Very good! Review by Johanna
My experience with white shimmery eyeshadows has always been the same: chalky, patchy and disappointment.
I am here to report that Ice Queen is neither chalky, nor patchy and definitely not a disappointment! As I am translucent pale this is perfect as a highlighter too. (Posted on 2/21/15)
Ice ice baby! Review by Orlena
Love this as a highlighter, lid colour or inside corner colour. (Posted on 2/22/14)
Highlighter for fair skin! Review by Lillans
I use this one for every look! I use it to highlight under the brow, in the inner duct and sometimes in the center of the lid! It stays all day (only tried it with primer) and blends really well! (Posted on 11/19/13)
Great highlight Color Review by Eden
This color works well under the brow bone and has the perfect amount of shimmer. It also looks good on the center of the eyelid, or the inner eye to make your eyes pop. Great color! (Posted on 12/17/12)
Disappointed Review by Kristen
Of all the colors I bought this was my biggest disappointment. The pan I got had NO shimmer whatsoever and was very dry and chalky. Even against my pale skin it just looked patchy and icky. I occasionally will use it to lighten up my tear duct area on a matte eye shadow look but it is so dry I just don't care for it. Most of the shadows I bought were fantastic but this one just doesn't do anything for me. I don't know maybe I got a bad one but it just looks like I took school board chalk and wiped it on my skin when I use it. (Posted on 4/24/12)
Fantastic! Review by Kristen
Of the 7 colors I originally ordered, this is my unexpected favorite. It is so vibrant and shimmery! It really is fantastic as a highlight color under the brow or on the lid for a hot date!! I even wear it on the top of my cheeks at night for a nice wash of shimmer! (Posted on 2/12/12)
THE HIGHLIGHT COLOR!!! Review by Monika
I use this color almost every day since I received it to add a little highlight to my eyes' inner corners. I also used it to highlight my brown bone. I usually stay away from shimmer shadows for highlighting, but this color is beautiful and shimmery without being too shimmery. It shows very well and I have light skinl! (Posted on 2/1/12)

By Paul Fitzgerald - Director of Business Development and Marketing for The Next Trend Designs Inc. set to take company to new heights locally and globally
Rob Elsey calls his two and a half year hiatus from The Next Trend Designs Inc. a worthy venture, but he knows that his return to the popular Marketing, Advertising and Promotional Company - one known widely around the world – is going to be an exciting ride in so many ways.
The 37 year-old stepped into new waters and opened up his own company, Brand Builders, in early 2012, after being a lead sales representative for over a decade with The Next Trend Designs Inc.
Elsey, a graduate of the esteemed business and advertising program at Sheridan College, says he is elated to return and work from the company's headquarters in Mississauga, ON – only a stone's throw away from the Toronto Pearson International Airport.
This time he is returning to take on a massive responsibility as Director of Business Development and Marketing, and as he puts it, he is "set to take the company to new heights nation-wide and around the world."
That's right he is ready for a new challenge and growth.
"I had 10 amazing years with The Next Trend Designs Inc. and I wanted to explore the world of branding, advertising, marketing and sales a bit more to get a feel for what's out there," he says during an interview from his new office.
"I admit during my time growing the Brand Builders I missed the camaraderie and charisma of the The Next Trend team and of course the excitement of working with hundreds of companies involved in the advertising and promotional industries."
He adds, "The Next Trend Designs Inc. is a forward thinking company and they are trusted and relied on by so many other companies worldwide, so it's great to be back in action."
He knows his education, coupled with his past experiences, will only benefit the goals and mission of The Next Trend Designs Inc.
In fact, Elsey, who now calls Milton, ON his home, has a three year plan to expand the company into new markets.
"My three year campaign to grow the company further will educate, engage and excite the world through unique online social communication channels on the wide variety of novel and quality products we offer," he explains.
Interestingly, Elsey is aware of the challenges that come with branding, marketing and sales in today's 'hyper digital world.'
"Every company out there is focusing on the social media marketing experience to bring in new consumers," he says.
"However, what we are also going to employ is a rigorous relationship building campaign that far exceeds any social online connection. The two approaches will only complement one another. One thing I have learned in my professional career is that having a strong online presence is important, but even more important is connecting with people directly in person and experiencing the true excitement in their eyes when you show them a new product, branding idea or unique wearable lines."
"My role will be about building relationships in a symbiotic way – online and personal which is vital for professional decision makers out there who are in their 30s and 40s."
Rob Charlton and Janine Taylor, both co-founders and owners of The Next Trend Designs Inc., say they couldn't be happier to have Elsey back on board.
"Rob Elsey is a close business colleague and a friend, and we have been in talks for a while on him returning," says Taylor. "We are elated to have him back and now heading up our business development and marketing division. He is outgoing, creative, thinks outside the box and thrives on success. He is also a superb team player and one who cares about others and the very community he lives in."
Taylor adds, "Rob Elsey is a one-of-a-kind and his return marks a very exciting chapter for The Next Trend Designs Inc."

Living Near Landfills
We must be careful not to expose our children to chemical cleaners, insecticides, and weed killers on our lawns. Chemicals used in pressure-treated wood used to build lawn furniture, decks, fences, and swings sets have been shown to place children at risk. When children are around, we must be vigilant to maintain a chemical-free environment.In some cases this is easier said than done. According to Reuters New York State has nearly 900 hazadarous waste sites and contaminated bodies of water, as a result children living near these areas have a higher frequency of respiratory infections:
Dr. David O. Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment, at the State University of New York at Albany, said these results are consistent with the hypothesis that simply living near a waste site constitutes a risk of exposure to contaminants, presumably by air transport, and that these chemicals can reduce immune system function and lead to more infections…It may seem obvious, but Dr. Carpenter's study comes to an important conclusion:
… Carpenter, who reported the study this week in Germany at the annual meeting of the European Respiratory Society, told Reuters Health: "Our major finding is that children living near to waste sites, whether landfills or contaminated bodies of water, are hospitalized more frequently with acute respiratory infections," compared to children living in "clean" areas.
Carpenter said this study shows that exposure to organic pollutants and other contaminants can harm health and just living near to a contaminated site may cause exposure.

I help clients to maintain a healthily balance of mind and body. This is achieved with the use of massage therapy to remove trapped toxins from the muscles and hypnotherapy to release mental blocks that keep clients suck in old patterns.
Swedish and deep tissue massages are two types of massage that most clients request. Clients request Swedish massage to just relax and relieve muscle tension. Others need deep tissue massage for muscle relaxation.
All products I use are from natural sources; essential oils and natural oils such as olive, grape seed and jojoba. Many therapists use oils and creams that contain petroleum and mineral oils. These oils are essentially refined gasoline products.

I am state-licensed and nationally certified. The school I attended for massage therapy was the Soma Institute in Chicago, Illinois. Their curriculum had a major inference on clinical massage therapy, meaning we were trained to address common muscle and skeletal ailments. These include whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis.
Hours of service, price of service and forms of accepted payment. The client should inquire if the therapist is state-licensed and liability-insured.
I would recommend not receiving massage at a very low price because you get what you pay for. A massage offered at such a low price may be given by someone not properly trained. That person has the potential to cause injury or harm to your body. Also, that person may not have liability insurance in case there is an injury resulting from the treatment.
The question I get asked the most by clients is the rate of the massage and hours of operation.
I can see well over two hundred clients per year. The holiday season is usually busy, with people traveling from other parts of the country to visit family members.
Swedish and deep tissue massages are the most common types of massage given and requested.
I have begun to volunteer at the church I attend, and I also offer my free time to the Ronald McDonald House.
I am a therapist who loves my job. It is a wonderful feeling to help facilitate a personâs healing to enhance his or her well-being. Massage therapy has been around as long as man has been on earth.
Massage is an art form that is not for everyone because it requires the therapy to hold positive energy and generally want the client to achieve healing health and well-being.
A follow-up call to inquire about the effectiveness of the treatment session. Text messages to inform clients of upcoming specials and discounts.
Massage therapists are not masseurs. We are trained professionals with extensive training and certification. The term masseur is used to refer to those that perform sexual acts and are not professionally trained.
It is very beneficial to have a professional massage therapist as would have a personal trainer or hair stylist.
I first began working at massage therapy clinics in the Albuquerque area and then I began my own private practice. Along the way, I have taken additional training to maintain my skills and acquire new ones.
I would recommend a client to check out the massage therapist's website to see rate and hours and a detailed list of modalities and services offered.

Andrea Walker, the Memphis, Tenn. woman who has been charged with abuse and neglect in connection with the disappearance of her 7-week-old baby, Aniston Walker, expects to be charged with homicide, according to a Jan. 14, 2014 Huffington Post report.
The Post notes WMCTV reported that Walker's lawyer, Leslie Ballin, said "Even though I'm telling you the charges may at some point be upgraded, do not rush to judgment in this case… This is not Salem, Massachusetts."
Ballin also believes Walker should not have been charged with abuse and neglect, according to WATE, and the Post reports a motion has been filed requesting the charges be dismissed.
Ballin also argues that the arrest affidavit indicates Walker may have inflicted "serious bodily injury" to Aniston, which the attorney says the police and the prosecution have no evidence of.
Walker, 33, told police she left Aniston with her 3-year-old son at around 11:40 a.m. while taking her 5-year-old child to school.
Aniston was reported missing by her father – who reportedly does not live in the home – on Jan. 9, sometime after Walker returned to the residence.
The quest to find Aniston was called off Jan. 11 because police have made an exhaustive search of where the child could be and "have no other obvious places to look" for her, according to WREG.
During Monday's court hearing Ballin requested Walker's bond be dropped from $500,000 to $25,000, WATE reports.
Walker is due back in court on Jan. 21 regarding the motion.

LSU Media Relations
The LSU men's basketball team continued one of the program's long-standing traditions on Wednesday when it visited the children's ward of Our Lady of the Lake Hospital.
Children of all ages received presents and heard Christmas carols from the players and coach Johnny Jones, signing basketballs and posters for the children and their parents as the Tigers tried to bring a little of the holiday season.
The Tigers worked their renditions of "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and with each room appearance, the group seemed to ad-lib and adapt the song to their vocal styling.
In regard to the team's version of jingle bells with a rap beat, junior Jalen Courtney said, "It's something we started working on a couple of years ago, and it always gets a good reaction. I'm trying to get coach Jones to join in. Maybe he could do a solo or something."
"I can't sing to save my life, but my teammates and I just wanted to make those kids smile, and if it takes us making a fool out of ourselves, that's what we're going to do," said Charles Carmouche of his first OLOL visit.
The annual visit will be spotlighted on "Inside LSU Basketball with Johnny Jones" presented by Academy Sports and Outdoors, this coming Sunday night (10:35 p.m. WBRZ in Baton Rouge) on the LSU Sports Television Network). It has turned into a tradition that makes patients smile, but brings a smile and a wave from staff members who look forward to the team's visit each December.
"We got a chance to see some smiles, we got a chance to sing Jingle Bells, and it was a good opportunity for us to get out and interact with the children," junior guard Andre Stringer said of his third visit to the hospital. "These kids battle every day, and for us to come out, I know it's big for them, and it's big for us, too. We feel good about doing things like this."
And, as they go room to room, you see the players begin to understand how important their appearance is to those who are at OLOL at this holiday time.
"It's wonderful, to put a smile on a kid's face during the holiday time just melts my heart," said Carmouche. "I'm not an emotional-type guy, but it's been a great experience (Wednesday)."

Not too many people can say they've been a guest of the sheik of the United Arab Emirates and the king of Malaysia.
Beverly Gray, on the other hand, has been there, done that multiple times.
Gray and her 8-year-old Arabian gelding, Jolly Sickle, have traveled the world, racing more than 750 miles this past summer alone, and earning worldwide recognition and multiple awards along the way.
Her success has given her the opportunity to ride through the jungles with the king of Malaysia and the desert heat of the UAE.
Gray and Jolly Sickle are endurance racers, with Gray riding and Jolly Sickle running in races that range from 50 to 250 miles and sometimes span multiple days.
Jolly Sickle's transformation from a sprinter into an endurance racer was anything but easy, Gray said.
"Converting him over from a racetrack horse was quite a challenge," she said. "He was used to going as fast as you can around a track. We don't do that in 50-or 100-mile races."
But he seems to be comfortable with the longer distances now, winning nine of his 14 races this past summer and earning 11 awards for best conditioning.
"It was a great summer," Gray said. "I've been training him for the past three years."
Gray, who was a member of the 2002 United States Equestrian Team, isn't resting on prior successes. The new year will see Gray and Jolly Sickle training for the World Equestrian Games, which will take place in 2014 in Normandy, France.
"If I'm going to qualify him for the U.S.
She added that Jolly Sickle should be entering his prime just in time for the Games.
"He's young for eight years old," she said. "(Endurance horses) don't reach their prime until about 10 or 11 years old."
Based on what she's seen so far, Gray believes Jolly Sickle has the potential to do great things during his career. She said he could be the best horse she's ever had, even better than Omner, a champion endurance horse that was voted one of the top 10 endurance horses of the millennium.
"(Jolly Sickle)'s showing the propensity to be quite the athletic champion," she said. "He's finished every race he's started."
Gray is looking forward to new challenges in 2013, including taking Jolly Sickle overseas.
"I haven't put him up against any international countries yet," she said.

Professor Todd Coolman is one of the artists appearing on the latest CD from jazz legend James Moody, Our Delight.
Nate Chinen of the New York Times calls it a "wonderful new release." It is is a collaboration by Moody on saxophone and flute, with pianist Hank Jones, of music by Tadd Dameron and Dizzy Gillespie. The masters are backed by bassist Coolman and drummer Adam Nussbaum. Nate Chinen of the New York Times says it "does much more than confirm bebop's stature as the reigning old-masters language in jazz."
Todd Coolman is the Director of Jazz Studies and performs regularly as a bassist both live and on albums. He recently released his own CD Perfect Strangers, an eclectic album featuring the music of unknown composers.

Kenneth Pool Royalty gown in ivory (very light ivory). Silk dress with jewel embellishment at waist, and two flower/jewel embellishment pieces at front and back of dress.
The dress is stunning – I received so many compliments during and after the wedding.
The dress is currently at the dry cleaners. It has a few stains on the bottom/underneath part of the dress, and I was told that majority (~75%) of the stains will come out. Remaining stains should not be too visible, as they are located on the bottom/underneath part of the dress.
Will include shoes (Angela Nuran) and veil (Bel Aire fingertip length) for an additional $200.
Selling the dress because I do not plan on getting married again, and so I no longer need the dress.
- Alterations: Waist was taken in so that the dress is anchored properly and does not slide down when worn. Dress was bustled. Light padding (removable) was inserted into the bust area for added "lift." Flower embellishments in front and back of dress were sewn open so that they are more prominent and so that they do not droop.
- Preservation Method: Dress has been professionally dry-cleaned and boxed.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner:
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: , CA
- Will Ship to: Other
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other

For the pilot, however, the producers had to hide her eight-months-pregnant belly, which spurred various Bowen relatives to suggest turning each concealment gambit—folding laundry, popping her head around a doorway—into a drinking game. ("Every time you realized that Julie was doing something to hide her pregnancy, you had to drink," says her older sister, Molly.) As the show progressed to becoming a series, Bowen's bosses were surprised by her adroit physical comedy, how she seemed instinctively to know the facial expressions and gestures that could turn her frazzled, hypercompetitive, insecure, loving wife and mother into a scene stealer. "We knew she was a beautiful woman who was funnyish," says Levitan. "But we can't say we saw her being laugh-out-loud funny. She blew us away with the level of complexity and neurosis that she brought to the part."
Not unlike her TV character, Bowen radiates so much internal energy that she seems to be in motion even when she's sitting still. She's a gesticulator and a foot tapper, and her pale, angular face seems always to be changing expressions. "That's my husband, Scott. He emerges from the cave!" she shouts when her handsome brown-haired spouse, Scott Phillips, surfaces from his office in the couple's basement. For the next 10 minutes, the two make light jokes at each other's expense. She teases him about his difficulty explaining what he does for a living (he writes computer codes), and he expresses surprise that she has actually managed to prepare lunch. When Phillips pads quietly away, Bowen says with clear adoration, "He's so mellow." Then, after a reflective pause, she adds, "Unless he's playing beer pong. He plays beer pong with a seriousness that this sport does not deserve."
She is equally in awe of her on-set husband. "I could cry just talking about Ty Burrell," Bowen says. "This is a man who lives in Utah. In this industry, most people are committed to Hollywood or Beverly Hills or Malibu. This is a man who is committed to Utah. He is also the scariest person I've ever worked with because he's so good that you don't know what is going to come out next." For his part, Burrell quickly noticed that Bowen "is not afraid to look bad. I think in particular for women in Hollywood, that's not an easy thing, to be willing to make yourself look ugly for a joke or be completely out of control in a way that isn't flattering. And Julie always does that. She's all in—there are limbs flying everywhere."
Bowen learned how to get a laugh early on. Raised in an affluent suburb of Baltimore, the middle daughter of commercial–real estate developer Jack Luetkemeyer and his homemaker wife, Susie, Bowen hovered on the edges while alpha sister Molly took center stage. "We were complete hams," says Bowen about the elaborate backyard productions the three siblings would write, direct and cast.
She appeared in high school theatricals, but when she went on to Brown, the university's theater department was so famously competitive that she began to be intimidated by performing. Shifting her focus back to an earlier interest in fine art (her parents had always pegged her as a painter), Bowen eventually majored in Italian Renaissance studies and spent a memorable junior year in Florence: "I was completely living this Italian life, speaking Italian, dating Italian boys and drinking buckets of wine. It was lovely."
EMBOLDENED by her sojourn, she returned to Brown and tried out for a student production. Not only did she land the lead, but when a Brown graduate came to campus looking for an ingenue to star in his grant-funded independent film, Five Spot Jewel, it was Bowen who walked away with the part. She didn't get paid but loved the experience of acting in front of a camera, soaking up all the blunt advice that her equally young director had to offer: "I liked that he told me to stop rolling my eyes. He gave me direction that made me realize, Oh! Pull it together, woman!"

Testing your maxes in the gym and developing a benchmark to work from is paramount to creating an efficient and effective training program.
It is also important to listen to your body, if testing reveals muscular imbalances or joint weakness, working on fixing those issues should be first and foremost on your training agenda. Take time now to remedy existing problems and you will be saving yourself the frustration of years of aches and pains and even more serious potential injury.
In order to plan your exercises you must first identify the movements and contractions significant to your sport or activity. Once completed you will know which exercises require testing.
Although figuring out which muscles are responsible for what movement seems straightforward, certain movements can be hard to dissect. A jump in figure skating can be deceiving, although the Quadriceps and Gluteal muscles are active, muscles in the back, oblique and shoulders play a major role in the rotation. Use this example and alter your training objectives to engage more complimentary muscle groups.
Although it can seem overwhelming, understanding that in every contraction there are Prime Movers also known as Agonists as well as Antagonists and Synergists is critical. Prime Movers are responsible for specific movements and contractions, conversely Antagonists drive an opposing action and a Synergist basically supports joint and bone stability. For example the Agonist for knee extension is the Quadriceps however it has an opposite or Antagonistic muscle which controls knee flexion, the Hamstring. Thus for a track athlete it would be important to focus not just on the development of the Quadriceps, but also on the Hamstring to avoid imbalance and injury as well as maximize performance.
Use the principles discussed to design your program. Firstly know what it is that you need or want to train.
If you are an athlete, choose the primary movements of your sport and then look at the muscles that support them. Choose exercises which do not isolate but rather engage the Prime Movers more than any other muscle group. This could mean for the Quadriceps using a Front Squat, or to combine Agonists such as the Triceps and Pectorals use a Parallel Bar Dip. Athletes should work to reduce the number of total exercises per workout. To do this, use exercises such as the Deadlift, Back Squat and Decline Dumbbell Press to create a core group of exercises which not only employ maximum use of the Prime Movers, but also require plenty of supporting muscles. Use the core exercises and the corresponding Agonists to identify the Antagonists and appropriate supporting exercises, this is crucial to maintaining muscular balance. Consequently you will end up with a program that looks like the following:
Exercise #1; Front Squat
Exercise #2; Standing Hamstring Curl
Exercise #3; Decline Dumbbell Press
Exercise #4; Deadlift
Exercise #5; Parallel Bar Dip
Exercise #6; Lat Pull-down
For athletes maximizing their time in the weight room allows for technical, tactical and sport specific elements to be trained without compromise. To optimize time management, athletes should enter their preparatory phase of training with Anatomical Adaptation, once that is done move directly to Maximum Strength. During Max Strength, workout frequency should be 3 times per week. Training during those three sessions should remain consistent and attempt to cover all appropriate exercises regardless of muscle group. The goal of Max Strength for athletes is to increase fast twitch muscle fiber recruitment, hence Circuit training is best as it allows for maximum recovery. The number of exercises should be capped at 8 but 6 is optimal, look for 3 to 5 minutes recovery time between sets. This amount of recovery time is foreign to many athletes so look to the next article for clarity.
If you are a bodybuilder during this step you should identify each major muscle group, and then in succession list them from weakest to strongest. The weakest Prime Movers are in need of the most improvement and thus you should engage them early in your workout. In this style of program remember Maximum Strength will develop muscle density therefore should be given specific attention in your annual planning. Although for bodybuilders the length of the Maximum Strength phase will be shorter than for most athletes, as more focus will be given to Hypertrophy (cell volume) and Muscle Definition training.
From this discussion identify your primary and secondary exercises which you will use to build your program. Once you have done this go get some 1 rep maximum testing results using the previous articles recommendations.
Next article you will utilize your testing numbers to design a Maximum Strength Program.
Yours in Health,

About this time of year is great if you are looking for a new car. Right now, we are on the cusp of the heavy model changeover season as semis, hauling trailers full of new models drop their loads at railheads and go back for more and the trailers make the long train trip to your local dealer's railhead and a semi ride to their new sales site.
Living on a major road will show just how big an industry the auto industry is (one in six is employed in some way by it or related to it) as two or three tractor-trailer loads of cars pass by destined for local dealerships.
Beneficial problem
This means your local dealer has a problem – it is a big one, make no mistake about it because dealerships only have so much storage on site and usually hire satellite yards to hold the continually building overflow – because dealers pay a fortune for storage costs (floor planning costs). It's one of the bigger incidentals of the car industry.
The result is great for the consumer because, though they look like sales tricks, dealers actually have to make cars move as fast as possible and if you are in the market right now you are actually in the "driver's" seat, so to speak. If a dealer doesn't move all of the vehicles that he or she committed to in a period (a month or a quarter), the manufacturer will review their next inventory deliveries. This means that though the dealer has asked for all hot-selling models, he or she may find truckloads of slow-crawling models being delivered with one or two "hot" cars. Just down the road, at the same model dealership owned by someone else who has made his or her numbers, the semis are dropping off hot-selling numbers that bring in customers.
So, it is in the dealer's favor to get you out of your current car and into a new one.
Big decision
Now you, the consumer, has the decision to make – lease or buy – it does give you a lot to think about. Which is the right decision?
After studying the issue – spending a great deal of time on it actually – it came out on the side of leasing. Here are the reasons:
Buying versus Leasing
Buy: The car is yours when the payments are done, after five, six or seven years and the car's value has slipped to half or a-quarter of the amount you pay for it
Lease: The car is not yours when you are finished with it, but you are not left with a vehicle that is worth much less than you initially laid out
Buy: The vehicle becomes your asset that, after six years, will need work. As an example, there is one model out there whose timing belt costs $1,200 to $1,400 to replace and unless you have some sort of wonder repair insurance package (they exist but cost a fortune), you must find the money or your car's engine will eat itself eventually as the fiber fingers work off the timing belt.
Lease: You don't have to worry about this expense – or any repair expense because mandatory repairs are written into leases that are on the dealership's dime, not yours as it makes sense for them to keep their investments up.
Buy: Cars and their parts wear out and have to be replaced and after about five years, the process begins as noted.
Lease: You turn in the keys and walk away or roll it into a new lease.
Buy/Lease: Negotiations are the same, but with leasing you don't have to worry about repairs as the dealership usually writes it into the package.
Lease: Monthly costs are lower in either type of lease the closed-end or the open-end. The key difference is that you set the number of miles you drive per year in a closed end lease and the monthly payment is based on that and the number of years for which you write the lease. If you go over the number, there's usually a sum you have to pay at the end. In an open-end lease, though the payments are usually the lowest, you have to pay a large wrap-up fee when your lease is up. The closed end lease just has you turning the keys in and then it's the dealer's problem.
Buy: You take the huge depreciation hit and must buy a service warranty. If you choose this course, make sure you buy the warranty after the vehicle's standard warranty period ends. This is because the standard dealer extended warranty begins on the day you take ownership and the vehicle has a 50,000 or 100,000-mile warranty, then all you have done is increase your car payment. So, it pays to wait.
And the winner is…
So, after all of these considerations what should the buyer do? If you are from the old school that has to own the car when the payments are up, then there's only one solution, an old-fashioned sale (your monthly payment will be higher) where you keep the keys and problems at the end of the term. If you have read closely, though, you can probably see the answer: leasing is your better choice.

Always assume that people are going to think you're a wackjob for carrying. Imagine the hassle of trying to explain it....then be glad you don't have to.
It is utterly illogical to believe that passing laws to reduce gun violence will be successful when those who are commiting the gun violence do not obey the law.
Well, like ANYTHING else, if you tell one person, they will all know...eventually...people talk. So measure out the consequences for the crowd knowing...if you tell ONE!
My family all knows...some like it some don't (most)...I don't give a rip. It's not discussed, and besides, I live over 1,200 miles from most of them...
At school...it was something I had to weigh...
For the first year, I said nothing. Slowly, I discussed the issue of being armed...of course, now they all know...
The results? Well, an assistant principal, the librarian, one of the h.s. secretaries, and a P.E. teacher are all working on their CCW permits. I'm taking one of the 'newly' licensed individuals to the range, and he wants me to help him pick out a weapon and holster...
A couple of my neighbors know...one is getting his CCW now, the other is a cop with more weapons than the army (sort of...very nice collection).
I have found it something that one can feel out pretty quickly...I guess you have to be your own judge...my 'sharing' has created a half-dozen more CCW'ers.
Stay armed...weigh your choices carefully...stay safe!

My immediate family knows (they carry too). I have told a very select few friends, all of whom I shoot with. That's it. Like retsupt99 said, if you tell a few people, most of your coworkers will know by the end of the week.
Thanks for all the advice guys,,.
I don't try anything...I just do it!
My parents know I will be applying for a CCW. My best friend know(ive known him since i was 5, hes like a brother). He knows everything else about me too, the one person I truly talk too. Hes Anti-Carry though, so it was an interesting conversation. I had to explain to him that Im responsible and not a gun-weilding maniac. After I explained a few scenarios he actually accepted the idea, which was good.
I have roomates, and I live in a house that is not my own. So I told the home owner I would be buying a handgun. I just think its a respect issue with that, I wouldnt want someone bringing something I dissapproved into my home if I was doing the curtesy of letting him live there.(I do pay rent :P) We have both talked about CCW in the past, so its been discussed, as he wants to do it as well.
I think the biggest concern for me if people knew would be the "hero" factor. People who have not done research and thought of scenarios like we all have think differently. They may think if a normal fistfight(that doesnt threaten anyones lives) breaks out that pulling out your gun is an option. Waving it around like the movies.
This can get you in a lot of trouble, as the people finding out you have a gun when a 'friend' outs you by saying "Hes gonna shoot your ***** ass(or something like that)" in the heat of the moment...
So as of now, 4 people know I _might_ conceal carry. I basically decided I wouldnt let them know when I started, and if they figure it out, good job for them, if they don't... I know I'm doing it right
Either way, the less people who know the better, guns scare ALOT of people.
Congrads on the permit.
Now for the who do I tell----Treat it like a STD (sexually transmitted disease) tell only the select few that have to know.
An ounce of lead is worth 200lbs of cop.
Another thing...I would suggest that whoever it is that you tell, tell them not to say "Get your gun" if there is an ugly situation. The element of surprise is the key to winning in a bad situation.
Many years ago, I came to regret telling some I did (and yes, others soon knew too). Some made inappropriate remarks at inopportune times. Surprised me "they" didn't use their head more. Of course it was really me who should have put more thought in that direction. Once it's out there, you can't get it back.
Fortunately, I no longer am in the presence of that group, so no issues there. Sort of like "starting over". Being more careful who knows this time around.
Regards, T Bone.
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety". Benjamin Franklin
I live back in the sticks, where crime is picking up at an alarming rate. NO one knows about my CCW, except my wife, who happens to also be my banker, and knows where the $$ go to pay for the permit, ammo, etc. None of my closest neighbors know, even tho they are good friends. Secrecy is the best way to handle it. I felt same way, when I first received my permit. But, after giving it some deep thought, as a previous post stated. You don't want to be pulled into a fight that someone else started, knowing "you are armed" and you will back them up. Stay quiet, and stay safe!!
As T-mobile says...Are you in my five? I would say other than the folks you train with and live with when you want to tell someone...LIE DOWN TIL THE FEELING GOES AWAY!! Already had a bad experience with my brother who was in my class blabbing at a family event and getting another brother (sheeple) upset.
Facts are negotiable, perceptions are not.
I should be receiving my permit soon. The only people who know are my wife, my mother, my brother-in-law (CC permit holder) my sister (Cc permit holder) their son in law (soon to be permit holder) and my insurance agent (to get additional liability insurance). That's one too many in my opinion but my instructor had suggested the insurance.
I live in a small town and my greater concern is the LEO's who were present when I turned in my application and was finger printed might tell more people. I had six of them watching the whole process.

Ducati Darmah SD900
Was on way back to London on my Sprint Veloce after taking shots at the Vintage Douglas Vespa Run
when I was passed by a lovely classic bike coming the other way. Thought for a second then circled roundabout I'd come to & gave chase after the bike hoping I could get some shots of it. After about 2 miles & a couple of dodgy overtakes, I caught the bike in traffic & flagged down the owner & we pulled into a bus stop. The bike was a beautiful Ducati Darmah SD900 & the owner gave me 5 mins to shoot it as he was on his way somewhere. A couple of the resulting 35mm film shots aren't bad, could've done with a bit more time but was very pleased to get some shots of such a lovely classic Ducati. All the shots I took can be seen on Motorbikes page of vespamore website www.vespamore.com

Not really tried panning as a technique before which is not the easiest thing to do. Basically you have to pick the spot you want to take your shot & focus correctly for your distance to subject (passing vehicle, bicycle etc). Then wait for your subject & move or pan the camera around until passing subject reaches your chosen spot & click but carry on panning the camera, following the subject. All the time the panning action should be kept as consistent & smooth as possible. Here are a few first attempts, was happy with dark green Mini....

Even though these Child's Name Copper Rings ($52 for a set of three) by Monkeys Always Look seem to be jewelry just for mommas, they aren't. You can personalize each ring in the stack with whatever you want, even if you're kid-free. We've been thinking about using all three to create a meaningful phrase or quote. Or, we could have them marked with significant dates or events in our lives. The sky's the limit, or at least, the alphabet is!
The third ring says... huhwhat? The example set is for the mother of Emma, William and... Sh*tten?
Whoa, it really does look like it says "Shitten". Is that...Irish?
It could say "Smitten", which is better, but still not a name. I hope it's not a name. Maybe this Mama is smitten with her kids? I know I'm smitten with mine!
Okay...have you wonderful ladies been moving some posts around? At first I thought it was just déjàvu but this post has comments from earlier this month and is in today's "line up." Please tell me I'm not going crazy. :)
You're not going crazy - our setup not what you'd call standard and we're working on both the process and the post quality. Right now we're in a little transition phase and we've ended up with what we're calling "ping pong post syndrome". It'll be fine; we just need time to get there.

Defector Poet Jang Jin Sung, "I Am Selling My Daughter for 100 Won"
Kim So Yeol | 2008-05-13 18:10 Read in Korean
In 2004, Mr. Jang, hiding 70-some poems in his chest, crossed the Tumen River. "I am selling my daughter for 100 won" was also written at this time. The Daily NK met Mr. Jang, who produced his first poetry collection at the end of many ups and downs and in four years after he defected to the South, in his office.
The following is the interview with the poet Jang Jin Sung.
- What did you decide to publish the poetry collection?
"North Korea is a country which allowed 3 million people to die during a peacetime period. The fact that the administration still exists is a shameful thing. North Korea is a country which calls the period which produced 3,000,000 starvation victims the "March of Tribulation." If Hitler was a despot who massacred foreign citizens, Kim Jong Il is a despot who has slaughtered his own people. If this truth is not made known, we cannot find justice."
I initially posted the memoir on the internet and the South Korean citizens expressed warm acknowledgement. Some people expressed that they could not help but to shed tears. I produced the collection, because I wanted to make a tearful petition in a country where humanity and compassion are alive.
I also wrote the book as a form of resistance against the leftist government of the last 10 years [in South Korea]. I was very disappointed after entering South Korea in 2004. The leftist government, caught up in North Korea's "Uriminzokkiri (amongst our people)" strategy helped to disguise the reality of North Korea."
- Didn't you come from an "upper class" in North Korea? What is the reason you began to harboring skepticism of the North Korean regime?
"The more one serves the regime, the more one knows its true nature, which means that the reality of average citizens is detached from the government.
North Korea's Kim Jong Il has two sides. There is Kim Jong Il as the god, and Kim Jong Il as a person.
I had the opportunity to get to know a worker at a chodaeso. Through him, I got to know more about Kim Jong Il's complicated women situations, his life of blind debauchery, and his decayed and diseased capitalistic personal life."
- I had heard that you were Kim Jong Il's most favored poet in North Korea.
"North Korea's economic situation is difficult, so they are not able to provide books to children and necessary manuscripts to writers. Paper is one of the most prized items in the North. It is difficult for writers to succeed there. Even if they are published, there are not enough people who will buy the works with their limited provisions.
Kim Jong Il has a lot of interest in poetry and in order to preserve the regime, he tends to confide in and eulogize poets. Compared to other areas, poetry can infuse a political consciousness with rapidity and through emotional impact."
- Have you ever met Kim in person?
"I have met him twice. Before the food shortage crisis, I met him with the esteem of meeting a god. Even having such an opportunity was fortune itself.
After the food shortage, I met Kim Jong Il again, but then, I kept thinking, "Only if he did not exist," and not with the same heart of respect. When seeing the image of him not even concerned about the deaths of 22 million citizens and living lavishly, I found him to be the culprit."
- The gradual slackening in North Korea's regime has been surfacing, but do you think there also has been a change in North Korea's upper classes?
"The cadres of the past had very traditional mentalities. They are people who lived thinking, "Anything for the party and the General..." The cadres, with the change in generations, started to think about their security. Corruption and self-interest stemmed from that.
In actuality, the North Korean cadres are the first ones to have changed internally. On the outside, they maintain their security by serving the regime, but internally, they will be the first ones to abandon it if the circumstances permit."
- It must not have been easy to write poetry which contains the reality of North Korea while living in the North...
"People have asked whether the many writers in North Korea can write such poetry under the North Korean regime. They also have posed their wonder at the sense of duty that have allowed us to smuggle the poems outside of the country.
Many writers in North Korea are writing pieces that surreptitiously criticize the regime. Many people have gone to political prisons after having been exposed. I think that is the conscience of a writer. If they do not write about truth, they cannot create a powerful work that can make people laugh or cry. In North Korea, writers are the ones who have a lot of conscience and struggles.
I have written a poem called "scratches." I wanted to write a poem based on the truth, but I did not want to write poems which only praised the regime and would rather produce scratches. So I wrote a poem based on that.
Truly, if I cannot write about the reality, I cannot genuinely cry or laugh."
- It has been 10 years since North Korea underwent a mass-scale famine. Since then, the true conditions in North Korea have spread to the South, but a majority are still disinterested in the North Korean issue. Have you ever felt despair upon seeing this?
"South Korean people think of North Korea from too much of an ideological perspective. They do not look at the reality in North Korea as reality, but try to understand it from a political yardstick. The administrations of the last 10 years were at the forefront of this. They tried to hide the reality in North Korea and whatever truth leaked out, they covered as fiction.
They tried to acknowledge that North Korea is no longer in a state of shock to many South Korean citizens. The reactions that would otherwise have surfaced are curiosity and incitement, but North Korea's 'uriminzokkiri' strategy and the leftist administrations of the last 10 years have hindered people from recognizing truth as truth, reality as reality.
From now on, there will be a lot of concern on the part of the government. The new administration seems to be prioritizing pragmatism rather than ideology, so I hope that it will treat the North Korean issue as it really is."

As announced Tuesday by the New York Times, Honda's top selling "Fit" fell to the bottom of it's class in safety rating; due to the latest Insurance Institute For Highway Safety's "small overlap" head-on collision crash test evaluation.
While not alone in the "micro-car"classification, all 11 vehicles tested, Honda, Fiat, Hyundai and Nissan included, failed to rate above " fair" in the crash test evaluation. The Honda Fit and Fiat 500 rated "poor." in crash test performance.
Subsequently, market bellwether "Consumer Reports" rescinded the coveted "best buy" recommendation from one of the guides favorite small car brands.
In reflection, I believe that most car buyers knowingly exchange the inherent safety of a larger vehicle for the fuel economy and ease of operation of a smaller auto. All "micro cars" tested by the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety failed to rate high in the "small overlap" evaluation. The Fit landed at the bottom with the Fiat 500. We believe the test results to be escew as to taking in the total picture.
The question of whether or not size equals greater safety, has circulated in the auto industry for decades.
In the last century " bigger was better." Automotive crash safety was equated to the size and weight of the vehicle and how the overall mass of a Chrysler 500 afforded greater protection to the occupant, better than a Morris Mini Cooper. The 40 mpg mini car of the day was "killed" by safety compliance, or a lack of it.
Back in the 1950s, seat belts were an option when available and un-padded dashboards was the norm. Nonetheless, the majority of car and truck occupants managed to survive the day of 5,000 pound behemoth Detroit manufactured terror.
Although front end "crumple zones" were implemented in the 1960s along with mandatory seat belts; padded dashboards and safety glass, the world didn't wake up to 'newsworthy' safety ratings until the heady days of Volvo and Mercedes Benz superior safety campaigns.
Today, Honda and other small car manufacturers have designed and implemented multiple airbags, front end collision avoidance and lane drift warning systems throughout the product line. These systems offset much of the consumers' concern as to a car's girth and come as standard equipment on the Fit Sport.
Today's news as first reported by the New York Times, has placed Honda, a company that proudly touts its yearly safety award for the Civic, Accord and Odyssey minivan at the bottom of the list with the Fiat 500.
In-fact 11 vehicles tested in what the Insurance Institute labeled as "micro" failed to record a "good" rating in this years newly developed "small overlap evaluation."
In the "small overlap evaluation test" the subject vehicle is propelled at a slight angle into a front end collision with a stationary object at 40 mph.The test simulates a driver avoiding a "head-on" collision by turning out of the path of the oncoming vehicle. While crash testing the Honda Fit and Fiat 500, the passenger cage was compromised.
In the case of the Fiat 500, the driver's side door was torn off the car by the impact, implying the possible ejection of the driver. With the Fit and other mini's an over extended seat belt allowed the impact inertia to propel the driver too far forward.
While Honda and Fiat scored the lowest in the test group, Hyundai,Toyota and Nissan didn't fair much better. The New York Times did acknowledge the total redesign of the 2015 Fit, while the Insurance Institute reminded us that even moving up to the "small car" class will afford driver and passengers a bit more protection in a head-on or side collision accident.
The truth of the matter is that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an independent non profit with yearly revenue approaching $25,000,000. Crash test findings as to crush zones, vehicle damage and possible injury to driver and passenger assists the Auto Insurance industry in rating the car for premiums and claims adjustment.
We in the industry believe that electronic crash avoidance, superior braking and safety cage design should be taken into consideration when shopping for a small or minicar.

- Company: Baume & Mercier
- Price: $19, 800
- Official Site: Baume-Et-Mercier.com
While Baume & Mercier may be best known for its entry-level luxury watches (usually under $5,000), every now and then it likes to pull out the big guns to show off what it can really do. The William Baume Collection, named after the brand's contemporary paternal figure, features the manufacture's line of haute horlogerie pieces, including two exclusive jumping hour watches. You've never seen a Baume & Mercier like this before, but something tells us you'll want to see more of them.
First things first, there are only 40 of these watches going to be made. On top of that, you can be sure the first pieces will be going to collectors and other friends of the brand. The jump-hour movements display the hour in a "digital" readout, reading only one hour at a time. The minute register resides around the hour display and the seconds register sits at 6 o'clock. The Baume & Mercier William Baume Jumping Hour is a throwback to a bygone era of horology, and these limited-edition William Baumes are a modern twist.
Baume & Mercier has been around for 180 years and it'll be around for at least another 180 -- it has a strong brand following (even among Ace baseball players), and since it is owned by the Richemont Group, it can rely on the resources of its bigger brothers to get by. In fact, it is safe to assume that some of the parts used in this $20,000 Baume & Mercier came from some of the more luxurious brands in the Richemont stable, like A. Lange & Sohne, Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and IWC.

The three lines in the state's 283-page budget may have taken up little space, but the study they authorized on Kentucky's corrections system could have a big impact in the years ahead.
My colleagues in the General Assembly and I set this in motion because it will give us a chance to work with the Pew Center on the States, an independent and highly reputable non-profit organization that has undertaken in-depth looks at various government programs across the nation.
First-year head coach Sedrick Williams wasn't surprised that his boys' 400-meter relay squad won the Class AA Region 3 Championship last week, just at the ease.
Eminence's baseball and softball teams were eliminated in the opening round of district tournament play. Henry County's baseball and softball teams were knocked out in the first round of regional play. And both the Eminence and Henry track teams wrap up their seasons at the state meet later this week. The high school postseason is dwindling down.
A season marked by Sedrick Williams taking over the Henry County track program and the athletes qualifying for the state meet in a school-record 11 events came to an end last Thursday night at the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Track and Field Championship.
Crack, meth, runaway kids, missing persons, sexual assaults and increase in crime. These have all been put out there as possible excuses for not having cruising in Eminence. (Shawn) Bright said gas stations and restaurant managers remember that cruising was good for business and are saying yes to cruising. Mr. (Jim) Pettit says it wasn't good for business at his Dairy Mart, it sounds like sour grapes.
At the same time that the Shelby County High School softball team edged past Grant County 8-6 last Thursday night in the 8th region finals, the Shelby baseball team was battling with Anderson County in a more-than-four-hour thriller that lasted 11 innings and ended with Shelby on top 10-9.
Both Shelby teams escaped on Carroll County's fields to win the titles and will now represent the region in the state tournament.

Easter Sunday 2009 had a happy ending for an 87-year-old Northern Kentucky man suffering from dementia thanks to the actions of Eminence couple Jon and Tracey Park and Officer Rodney Hawkins of the Eminence Police Department.
But, it could have ended badly for Don W. Taylor and his family.
He was reported missing when he didn't return to his Florence home after attending Easter morning church services. He evidently lost his way, and ended up at Dairy Queen in Eminence several hours later.
Former pilot and ex-Marine Don Seligman's hobby takes up a lot of room.
His Campbellsburg garage is literally packed to the rafters with built-to-scale military airplanes.
Some are arranged on long tables appearing ready to taxi down a runway while others are suspended by wires from the ceiling.

In White's first season in Pullman, senior Blake Snyder was named All-Pac-12 honorable mention as he finished tied for fourth at the Pac-12 Championships, the best finish by a Cougar at the conference championships in school history.
White returned to his alma mater after being a standout for the Cougars from 1999-2003. He was a three-time All-Pac-10 selection, including a first team honoree in 2002. That season, his junior campaign, he set a school record with eight top 10 finishes, earned his first-tournament victory and won a national player of the week honor.
As a sophomore, White began the season with a school-record tying 65 at the Northwest Classic in Corvallis, Ore. He earned one of his school record 17-career top 10 finishes at the event. He placed in the top 25 of a tournament 27 times, second in Cougar history.
A native of Pueblo, Colo., White was a winner on the Gateway Tour in 2004, 2006 and 2007. He played on the Nationwide Tour in 2005, 2009 and 2010. His career highlight came when he qualified for and participated in the 2006 U.S. Open.
