Examples of Equity Accounts
Original post by Cindy Quarters of Demand Media
An equity account is a type of account that normally reflects a positive, or credit, balance. When taken as a group, equity accounts show the amount of assets remaining in a business or personal account after the liabilities, or debits, are subtracted. Different types of equity accounts are used for different situations, so the accounts in a business that is operated as a sole proprietorship will not be the same as those used in a large, publicly traded corporation.
The revenue equity account is an account used to track all of the income for a business. This is the money earned by the business through selling its products or its services. For an individual, revenue would be any wages earned and would also include such things as interest income or income resulting from stock dividends, the sale of assets or anything else that results in an increase in the amount of cash the person has.
Owner's Investments
If a business owner invests additional money into the business, it is reflected in this equity account. Assets added to the business, such as materials or buildings, will also show as owner's investments. Any increase in the amount of money invested in the company increases the overall value of the business, creating additional equity for the owner or stockholders.
Common Stock
Common stock is the type of stock typically issued by companies and the stock certificate shows how much of a company a stockholder owns. The stock is reported in an equity account, because it represents money that has been invested in the company. Stockholders may receive dividends -- cash payments -- based on their stock holdings, and if the company is sold they may receive money for their stock.
Retained Earnings
When a company earns money through normal business transactions, some of that money is used to pay wages, buy materials and pay rent or to cover other business expenses. Money that is not spent or paid out as dividends is put back into the business, which increases the overall value of the business. In companies with shareholders, this equity account reflects the net income of the company minus any dividends that have been paid out.
Preferred Stock
Preferred stock is another type of company equity that is similar to common stock, but the dividends are paid differently. As a rule, preferred stockholders are paid their dividends before the common stockholders, but the preferred stockholders only get a fixed amount each time. This benefits the company because these shareholders do not get increased dividends if the company's income increases, leaving more revenue for the company.

Junior guard Olivia Grayson had 26 points, five assists, four rebounds and a pair of steals during Tulane's 66-53 win over Hampton. Grayson was named the Tulane/DoubleTree Classic's Most Valuable Player.
Dec. 29, 2011
Tulane/Hampton Game Book In PDF Format
NEW ORLEANS - Much has been made of the Tulane University women's basketball freshman class during the early portion of the 2011-12 season, but on Thursday evening in Fogelman Arena, it was the upperclassmen's turn to shine as the Green Wave defeated Hampton, 66-53, in the championship game of the Tulane/DoubleTree Classic.
Junior guard Olivia Grayson 24 of her team-leading 26 points in the second half while senior center Brett Benzio posted her fifth double-double of the year with 13 rebounds and a career-best 21 points. The win marked the Wave's fourth consecutive Tulane/DoubleTree Classic title as Tulane concluded its pre-conference schedule 11-2. Hampton, meanwhile, fell to 9-3.
Grayson added five assists, four rebounds and a pair of steals to her scoring output. She was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player after averaging 18.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 3.0 steals while connecting at a 44.4 field goal percentage (12-of-27) and hitting 75.0 percent of her free throws (12-fo16) during the two-day event. Benzio was named to the Tulane/DoubleTree Classic All-Tournament Team, as were Hampton's Jericka Jenkins and Ariel Phelps, Central Michigan's Jessica Green and College of Charleston's Latisha Harris.
"She's had some big games," Tulane head women's basketball coach Lisa Stockton said of Grayson. "She's had some great scoring games for us. The one thing with her game is she will score - and she's a great scorer - but she does so many other things.
"Her rebounding is so important to us. She's the one that was guarding (Choicetta) McMillian most of the night tonight and that was really important. She gets the ball to other people, like going to Brett inside, and she does so many things that are so valuable for us. With a young team, you've got to have that stable guard out there that knows where to put the ball."
Tulane shot 41.8 percent from the field against the Lady Pirates, including a 15-for-29 performance (.517) in the second half which saw the Green Wave turn a two-point halftime lead into a 13-point victory. Defensively, the Green Wave held Hampton to a .298 clip (17-of-57).
Benzio and Grayson were the lone Tulane players to finish with double-digit scoring totals while freshman forward Tiffany Dale added seven points, seven rebounds and four assists. Benzio, freshman guard Jamie Kaplan and junior guard Tyria Snow each had three assists, and Snow added a trio of steals. Benzio led the team with a pair of blocked shots.
"We knew they were going to be tough," Grayson said of Hampton. "We watched them the night before and we saw how they played. They're a real scrappy team. We just prepared for that at shoot-around and we knew we were going to have to take care of the ball. It was just something that we prepared for before the game."
Neither team could score early on and Hampton tallied the game's first points on a pair of Jenkins 6:03 into the ballgame. That, however, was one of just two leads the Lady Pirates would hold as a Danielle Blagg 3-pointer put Tulane ahead 7-5 and the Green Wave never trailed again.
Hampton rallied from five points down to tie the game at 15-all at the four-minute mark, but Tulane used a 6-0 run as Benzio sandwiched a pair free throws and a jumper around an Adesuwa Ebomwonyi layup to give the Green Wave a 21-15 advantage. The Lady Pirates answered with two more Jenkins free throws and a layup by Keiara Avant to make it a two-point ballgame at the break.
After going into the locker room at halftime on top 21-19, Tulane's stretched the lead to double-digits at 46-36 with 7:57 left in regulation before Hampton rallied with a 5-0 run to make 46-41. The Green Wave got ahead by 10 again at 56-46 with 2:52 left to go only to once again see the Lady Pirates rally and slice the margin to six on a Jenkins jumper 28 seconds later.
From there, however, Jenkins was called for a foul and Hampton head coach David Six was whistled for a technical to change the complexion of the contest. Grayson hit 3-of-4 free throws after the infractions and added two more after another Jenkins foul with 1:52 remaining on the clock.
Tulane broke the Hampton press for an easy layup by Dale, who was fouled on the play and hit the ensuing free throw to cap an 8-0 Green Wave run and put the game out of reach. Hampton got a 3-pointer by Nicole Hamilton to cut the Tulane lead to 11 and Benzio closed out the scoring with a layup with six seconds to go.
"I thought it was a costly technical," Stockton said. "Sometimes technical are in the middle of the game and they don't really affect the game. I thought that was really costly for them. We got to the free throw line, it was a distraction for a second and we had the free throws. I thought that really cost them because they had the momentum at that point."
Jenkins led all players with 28 points while handing out a game-high seven assists and pulling down three rebounds. Phelps had eight points and a team-best 10 rebounds to go with three blocks in the losing effort.
The Green Wave return to action on Thursday, Jan. 5, when they open the Conference USA portion of their schedule at Memphis. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for 7 p.m. From there, Tulane will play host to league foe UCF on Sunday, Jan. 8, at 2 p.m. in Fogelman Arena.

The Ticket Office located on the first floor of the James W. Wilson, Jr. Center on Ben Weiner Drive, is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This morning shocking news is coming out about the story of a USC hero that said he saved his nephew from drowning. On Tuesday, Fox News shared about how Joshua Shaw might have made up this entire story. "Good Morning America" aired a big piece about it this morning that explained how it could not be true.
The story is that he jumped off a balcony to save his nephew who was drowning. In the process, he sprained both of his ankles so bad that he won't even be playing in the first game of the season. Now it looks like it might have been made up, but if this is not what happened nobody knows for sure.
His coach Steve Sarkisian spoke out saying, "Josh Shaw first and foremost is a good person, he's a good kid. He came to us with what had occurred Saturday night and I have no reason or history to not believe Josh and his story and what has occurred. Obviously in the last few hours or so, a few phone calls contradicting what Josh said occurred Saturday night, so we're going to vet it, so we're looking at it."
There is speculation now that he made up the entire story. Josh said his nephew Carter could not swim and he jumped to save him. They have received a few phone calls saying that this is not a true story. At this time, it is unknown what is being said really happened to Josh Shaw but he is really injured. If he lied to the team and coach, they could take action against him at some point.
His sister Asia Shaw is saying that she was glad he was there to save her son. At this time, she isn't making it sound like there is any reason not to believe this story. His coach also said that Josh Shaw has not given him any reason to not believe it.

UCLA Softball on Twitter | UCLA Softball on Facebook
2014 UCLA Softball Media Guide
LOS ANGELES - Behind a pair of home runs from junior Stephany LaRosa and a one-hit shutout by junior Ally Carda, the 12th-ranked Bruins defeated UC Davis 6-0 on Friday afternoon before recording a 3-2, extra-inning comeback victory against Robert Morris, capped off by a walk-off hit from senior Jessica Hall in the eighth.
In the opener against UC Davis (3-6), the Bruins (6-0) and the Aggies battled through 4 1/2 scoreless innings before the home squad scored four times in the fifth and twice in the sixth. UCLA had 11 hits as a team, as Hall and LaRosa each notched three hits, with LaRosa driving in five, which tied a career high. Carda and freshman Delaney Spaulding both added a pair of hits.
Carda was dominant in the circle after allowing a one-out single in the first inning, retiring the final 20 batters of the game to pick up her third win of the year. She tied a career high with 11 strikeouts, fanning the side in the seventh and a pair in both the fifth and sixth frames. Carda struck out at least one in every inning.
In the bottom of the fourth, the Bruins touched up the Aggies for four runs, three of them coming on one swing. Carda led off with a single to left and Spaulding reached on a bunt single to put a pair on for LaRosa, who belted her second homer of the season to center to make it 3-0. Two outs later and with Hall at second after recording a single and advancing on a throw, sophomore Brittany Moeai blooped a hit to center to plate the Bruins' fourth run.
Another swing of the bat added two more runs in the sixth. Carda had a one-out double to right-center and came home one out later on LaRosa's second bomb of the game, this time to left-center, to make it 6-0.
In game two, UCLA (7-0) held a 1-0 lead through six and had Robert Morris (4-2) down to its last strike before a two-run homer gave the visitors the lead. However, the Bruins would tie the score in the seventh before winning it an inning later.
Sophomore Paige McDuffee posted her second victory of the season, striking out a career-best nine in eight innings, giving up two runs and four hits. She struck out one in each of the first five innings, three in the sixth and one more in the eighth. McDuffee had 1-2-3 innings in the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth.
UCLA had just four hits as a team, with Spaulding posting a triple, LaRosa recording a double and Hall and junior Tara Mueller singling.
The Bruins scored what looked like was going to be the game's only run in the third. With two outs, Carda walked and came home on a Spaulding triple to right-center to make it 1-0.
The zeroes continued to be put up on the scoreboard until the top of the seventh. With a runner at first and two outs, Tess Apke hit a 2-2 pitch over the wall in left field to put the Colonials up 2-1.
UCLA opened the seventh with Goulder getting hit by a pitch and advancing to second on a wild pitch. Two pop ups later, Spaulding was hit by a pitch to put a pair on base. LaRosa then skied a ball towards the Robert Morris first base dugout, but it was dropped by Lauren Hackett to give the Bruins a second life. LaRosa would capitalize on the chance with a double down the left-field line to plate Goulder with the game-tying run.
With the international tiebreaker rule in effect for extra innings, the Colonials stranded a runner at third, one out situation in the eighth. In the Bruins' half of the eighth, junior Jessica Amaral was at second to start the inning, moved to third on a Tiumalu sacrifice and scored on a single to right by Hall to wrap up a 3-2 victory.
The Bruins play twice more on Saturday against Western Kentucky (12:30 p.m.) and Robert Morris (3:30 p.m.). The Winsberg family will be honored prior to the Bruins' first game, while former UCLA great Debbie Doom will have her jersey #17 retired before the second contest. Live stats will be available at UCLABruins.com, along with live updates at twitter.com/uclasoftball.

Perhaps it is an odd comparison, but it seems to fit with images to support it. Many Ukraine citizens want to align with the European Union. When the opportunity was at hand, their President balked. Why did President Viktor Yanukovych not accept the $50 billion loan package that came with strings attached that would modify the government's behavior? The alternative was to reject the package to maintain favorable status with Russia and the Putin government. That would have been an easier path he must have thought, and personally more beneficial.
Yanukovych's judgment proved wrong. He was the most powerful, commanding the military and police. But, the will of the Ukraine people wasn't inclined to accept his decision.
People protested, like David against Goliath. With the support from allied people and government in the region, and backed by the US and West, the Ukraine government is buckling to pressure for early elections that will give the people an opportunity to vote their voice in the matter.
At that point, if the elections are fair, the outcome will guide the government toward what the people want.
The story here is by boots on the ground reporters who are in harms way to tell the truth.
"Ukraine's president open to early vote, Polish leader says; scores reported killed in clashes
The Post's Will Englund gives a first-person account of what it's like on the ground for protesters and citizens in Kiev. (The Washington Post)
WRITTEN BY Will Englund UPDATED: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 4:20 PM E-mail the writers
KIEV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has told European foreign ministers that he is open to early presidential and parliamentary elections as a way of resolving Ukraine's deepening and increasingly violent crisis, the Polish prime minister said Thursday evening in Warsaw, according to news services.
Yanukovych met with the top diplomats of Poland, France and Germany for four hours in the afternoon, after which his visitors left to confer with opposition leaders.
Radislaw Sikorski, of Poland, tweeted that they went to "test a proposed agreement" with the heads of the three main political parties opposing Yanukovych. Afterward, as it grew late, the three returned to the presidential offices and met with Yanukovych again."

Indianapolis -- Peyton Manning does it again.
With his Indianapolis Colts (16-2) strugging in the first half, trailing the New York Jets by 10 points, Manning orchestrated a four-play scoring drive that lasted less than one minute that turned the momentum in his team's favor and helped to spark the Colts to a 30-17 win.
The win earned Manning his second trip to the Super Bowl, and the Colts will take on the winner fo the New Orleans Saints vs. Minnesota Vikings game in Miami on Feb. 7.
Manning was 26-of-39 for 377 yards and three touchdowns. Pierre Garcon was his favorite target on Sunday, catching 11 passes for 151 yards and a score.
The Colts defense held Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez to 17-of-30 for 257 yards. Sanchez and the Jets (11-8) were able to move the ball pretty well in the early going, but in the second half, the Colts did a good job of slowing them down.
Here are the in-game updates:
Another surgical drive led by Peyton Manning and ending with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Clark has given the Colts a two-score lead, 27-17, with 8:52 left in the AFC Championship.
Capitalizing on good field position following a long missed field goal by the Jets, the Colts drove 57 yards and scored on a pass from Peyton Manning to Pierre Garcon to take a 20-17 lead over the Jets in the AFC Championship. There is 8:03 remaining in the third quarter.
Manning led his team on a 4 play 80-yard drive in just 58 seconds, finishing with a 16-yard scoring pass to Austin Collie that sliced the Jets lead to 17-13. There is 1:03 left in the first half in what is shaping up as an excellent AFC Championship game.
A 48-yard field goal by Jay Feely had given the Jets a 17-6 lead over the Colts with 2:11 left in the second quarter of the AFC Championship. The Jets got in position for the kick by recovering a fumble at the Colts 30-yard line.
Jets quarterback Matt Sanchez connected with tight end Dustin Keller on a 9-yard touchdown pass that has given the Jets a 14-6 lead with 4:46 remaining until halftime in the AFC Championship. The score capped a 7 play, 77-yard drive.
After the Jets stonewalled Colts quarterback Peyton Manning on third down at the goal line, Colts kicker Matt Stover hit a 19-yard field goal that cut the Jets lead to 7-6 with 8:44 left in the second quarter.
The Jets got their touchdown when wide receiver Braylon Edwards blew past Colts cornerback Jacob Lacey on a fly pattern and Sanchez hit Edwards in stride, resulting in an 80-yard scoring play.
Stover nailed a 25-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter to give Indianapolis a 3-0 lead over the Jets in the AFC Championship. The kick came following an 8 play drive that covered 82 yards in 3:41.
Earlier, after a promising drive fizzled in Colts territory, Feely pushed a 44-yard field goal attempt wide right leaving the AFC Championship scoreless with 6:40 remaining in the first quarter. The Colts are about to begin their second possession, this one starting on their own 34-yard line.

Beautiful Spanish Colonial Architecture
4701 N Central Ave
Phoenix, AZ 85012
+1 602 264 5291
This stunning chapel was constructed in 1928 and donated by Mrs. William Henry Brophy to the students of Brophy College Preparatory School. Spanish Colonial style exudes from the plush interior and muted yet elegant brick and cement exterior. The centerpiece of the main building is the tufa stone altar, which shines with a pinkish-colored hue and was quarried and carved by local artisans. If you look closely around the building, you'll notice that sea shells are used throughout the design, which is another unique style feature of Spanish Colonial architecture. Another notable feature of the chapel is its bank of stained glass windows, which were designed by artists from Dublin, Ireland, and depict the 11 articles of the Apostles' Creed.

Ludogorets lose, APOEL held as second round of qualifying begins
Two of last season's Champions League group-stage underdogs got off to a rough start in the first leg of the second qualifying round on Tuesday.
Bulgarian champions Ludogorets Razgrad, who beat Basel and held Liverpool to a draw a year ago, lost at home to Milsami 1-0.
Alexandru Antoniuc scored the only goal for the Moldovan champs in the 41st minute.
Meanwhile, Cypriot champions APOEL, quarterfinalists in 2012, were held to a goalless draw at home by Vardar of Macdeonia.

Hi Shalom2u,
Thank you very much! I think if you preview the book again you'll find that there are no blank pages. I believe the Blurb preview was a bit slow in refreshing the screen during viewing. It happened to me also.

If Only The Egret Could Impart Her Wisdom To Me
One week ago. One week ago my mother died.
And time hasn't stopped for a second and things get more and more and more complicated and death is just the beginning of so many processes. Some emotional, some physical, some financial, some legal. There are more types but I can't really think right now.
My brain is just not right.
I told May tonight that if I could, when it was time for me and Mr. Moon to leave this earth, I would love to be able to say, "We shall be dying on Thursday at four o'clock. We have liquidated everything. Here is a check for each of you. Now. Can we borrow some money for food because we will need to eat before we die on Thursday. At four o'clock."
But it's not like that. Ever.
Well. So what? Life is never what you wish it to be, but instead what it turns out to really be, and yeah, you can quote me on that one. Hahahahahaha! I'm fucking profound, aren't I?
That picture? It has nothing to do with anything but if you click on it, perhaps you can see what I saw which was a floating dock on a local lake which had a bunch of turtles on it, all facing a little egret and it looked for all the world as if the egret were addressing the turtles on some important matter and it made me laugh. My brother Chuck said that the egret was telling the turtles that they had to "come out of their shells." A motivational speaker, as it were.
Could be.
And I went to try and buy another dress but they only had them in black and what would be the point? I have one of those.
We're going to eat soup soon and then, again we shall sleep.

It's a lot to process. I'm glad that you are doing well. It sounds as if your mother did have some things in order. That's better than nothing. Trying to think positively.

I'm glad you came last night. I love to show off my gig to the family.
Hey, that's one way birth and death are very different - you don't even get a 9 month timeframe on death. It seems like if you could know like that, you wouldn't want to know for long. Maybe if you just found out about a week ahead.

Death is such a funny thing. It completely alters your world and suddenly you see things in a new way and it's like, has it always been this way? Why don't people realize it? Some people are so uncomfortable talking about death. I think the very first blog post I ever wrote was about death.

Those turtles really do look intently listening.
It's a wonder a person can remember how to tie a shoe or eat so soon after the death of a parent, let alone win at trivia.
About your previous post? I think all little boys should know how to pee in the bushes. :)

God, I love that photo! Wouldn't it be kind of wonderful to be a turtle and be able to crawl into a shell? Just retract our heads and ignore whatever?

Being an orphan was the strangest part of my mother dying for me. No more parents. I'm the parent.

Please tell that Egret to visit me when you are done with her!
Life feels like one challenge after the next from all sides sometimes. Or as my friend Kevin says: "Sometimes it's all gristle."
We love you. You have your humor and music nad family and friends, and that's good.

BEREA – Cornerback Joe Haden (knee) returned to practice today, but running back Peyton Hillis (hamstring) and linebacker Scott Fujita (concussion) did not as the Browns prepared to host Seattle on Sunday.
Coach Pat Shurmur ruled Fujita out for Sunday, but said everyone else has a chance to play.
Haden, who hadn't practiced since spraining his left knee Oct. 2 in a loss to Tennessee, lined up with the first team and looked good moving around. He said it's still too early to tell if he'll play Sunday.
"It went pretty good," he said. "We still don't know for sure until it'll be gametime. I'm going to come in tomorrow again and test it.
"I'm not going to go out there with a chance to hurt it again. It's one game. If I don't play next week, then the week after I'll definitely be ready. But I want to make sure I'm out there 100 percent, not being able to hurt it again or hurt the team."
Hillis didn't practice this week after pulling his left hamstring Sunday in the first quarter in Oakland. He was scheduled to run in the pool Thursday and hasn't been available to the media since Sunday.
Fujita was sent home from the team facility Wednesday and Thursday as post-concussion symptoms lingered. He will be replaced by Kaluka Maiava.
Montario Hardesty, who would replace Hillis in the starting lineup, dropped a pass during the portion of practice open to the media – he dropped six in the last two games – and Shurmur called for Chris Ogbonnaya to replace him with the first-team offense. Hardesty did pushups as punishment.
Ogbonnaya was signed off Houston's practice squad Tuesday and is expected to see some playing time if Hillis can't go.
Shurmur wasn't pleased with the start of practice. He yelled at tight end Alex Smith for a missed assignment before yanking Hardesty. Afterward, he said it was an "excellent" practice.
Rookie cornerback Buster Skrine (hip) returned to practice, along with offensive lineman Artis Hicks (back). Special teamer Ray Ventrone (hamstring) missed his third straight day.
(Updated): Browns CB Joe Haden returns to practice; LB Scott Fujita ruled out

Snail eating feces
In this post from way back when I wrote about a slug and a snail that were enjoying a meal of dog poop. As far as the nutritional requirements of gastropods go, feces must rank right up there on the scale of wholesome nutrition.
And now here is a picture of a snail, Mesodon thyroidus, approaching some feces that may have been left by a raccoon.
The next picture shows the snail having its shit and eating it too!
These pictures are from last weekend's field trip.

The idea of a freak show is to humanize people in their grotesque forms and deformities, diseased, giantly obese, bearded, and werewolf. You name it, if it doesn't appear in the magazines on a daily basis it is considered by the masses to be a freak of nature, the abnormal.
If the morbidly obese are harassed and stared at, what would people do to a living Barbie
It wasn't normal and it wasn't something that should be happening. If it wasn't for the pictures and the baby boom of mass media, we wouldn't even know who Valeria Lukyanova is. By pushing the boundaries of what is normal, she has attained immense popularity. Barbie is a doll not a multidimensional human woman. When you imagine Valeria you see a single image.
She's got the 'the look'
Handsomely visualized, she confounds our expectations. Having established herself as the "Living Barbie, her website says she wants to empower and deconstruct the female. The trends that define her success, scantily clad, boobs, tiny waist and the full make upped vacant stare. Can the American woman identify with this portrayal? Social groups criticize Lukyanova's homage. Privately she is deeply hurt.
I'm just a girl in the world
Will her girlish timbre become passé? She'd be less controversial if she was hanging out with communists. The symbiotic relationship with her "inside" and her "outside" appearance, she represents a paradox. Her genuinely freakish figure has become a cultural icon.

In St. Louis and in many large cities, shootings are a regular occurrence. But when those shootings find animals as victims, that's when shelters like Stray Rescue step in and ask, "why?" On Thursday, Stray Rescue of St. Louis issued an update about the latest dog they had rescued, a dog with a gunshot wound.
Yesterday, Grim and his rescue team arrived in North City, Missouri in temperatures that reached over 100 degrees on heat indexes. Grim wrote, "When I get a call that a dog is down, I drive with anticipation that, for me, becomes anxiety. My mind races with images of many rescues from the past, and I say to myself, 'Please don't let this one be too bad.' It was."
Grim and his team found Martini, a dog with "with soulless flat eyes," lying in murky water. Grim notes that a few months earlier he found a dog in the same location that had been shot and tortured. Yesterday, when the dog wouldn't take the offering of chicken from her rescuers, Randy knew the dog was in shock. On location, the rescue team had already identified one of her injuries as a gunshot wound.
Once back at Stray Rescue's trauma center, Grim's fears were confirmed. This one was bad. Martini is also discovered to have a broken jaw. Today, Grim confirmed to Examiner that Martini's jaw is severely fractured and she may lose her front leg. He stressed that she is not yet out of the woods.
Finding a dog that has been a victim of abuse is a situation Grim has been in before. Today, he says, "There is no room for hatred and violence in a civilized society. We need a shift in our collective mindset to not tolerate brutality toward the voiceless and defenseless. Children and animals deserve better, and they should expect it. Martini is a special girl and has a right to a happy, healthy life. They all do."
The group also launched a brand new campaign today in order to help keep up financial support for the animals during the hot summer months, when the organization experiences a drop in donations. This new campaign relies on the power of crowdfunding to help abused and abandoned animals find happiness and a forever home through Stray Rescue. Just think, if we can donate money for a balloon invention, or a really fancy cooler, we can also spare some money to help animals, especially in the coming August heat.

Deirdre talks in BOSUG
By Tirthankar on Jun 07, 2008
Today, Deirdre Straughan gave a talk on video blogging and communication at the bosug meeting. She talked about her experiences on video blogging and emphasized the fact that people found text boring and were ready to see videos made by enthusiasts. Such videos may lack the professional feel, but they are good enough to convey the message to the audience, much better than text. Also, sometimes people want to see videos made by enthusiasts, as they look more real, and sometimes more entertaining. I am keeping the text part of this blog entry short

It's great to see that film will not die (at least today) though I am certain it will not live forever.
Briefly comment on your reaction to Kodak's announcement of a new color negative film.
I keep my film camera in my bag, and every now and then I'll snap a few pics on an assignment, though, I'm not sure what all is on the current roll in my camera anymore, it makes for some nice surprises when it's processed.
I shot some black and white film a while back, I've been having the urge to shoot some slide film and more monochrome. I seem to not have to time to experiment and have fun in recent time. I still like to do in camera creative shots.
i have a few unique cams that are worth shooting film. Digital panoramic is stitching, not shooting. I'm also intrigued by a big chunk of silver, like displaying an original chrome. But other than that, there I find no reason to shoot film. Especially not print film.
Absolutely and while film might not "stand as tall" against today's pro digital cameras, film still provides me with great latitude, forces me to be disciplined and not over shoot and makes me aware of my lighting conditions. Besides, Fuji Velvia still has great colour saturation and the tonal values found in Ilford Delta are outstanding. Is film as convenient and fast as digital – no it isn't. Can I still make great images – yes I can.
I shoot film exclusively for fine art photography. Digital P&S for snapshots/ebay posts only. Any mfg who keeps producing film is an asset as long as there are firms that will still process the rolls.
I still use film for things I can't do in digital, either because the cameras don't exist (swing lens) or are too expensive. Also, I now own some fun to use obsolesent equipment I couldn't afford when film was king.
I kept my first serious camera, a Richohflex 2-1/4 twin lens reflext, as well as my first SLR, a Pentax and the Canon 620 I bought in the early 1990's. That being said, I have not shot a roll of film in over five years.
Not only do I still shoot film, I still have a real darkroom too. And why not? The gear is extremely affordable these days. Some old cameras are just wonderful and don't break the wallet. And film isn't as expensive as some wankers would have you believe. Certainly not compared to a digital back for my 4x5.
I love that element of photographic mystique that film seems to give - the loading ritual, the feel of it churning through the camera, even the little film canisters rattling in my bag. Unfortunately though, digital convenience means that my film cameras are increasingly fading into history - sigh.

Women's Basketball Downs Siena, 59-49, For Fifth Straight Win
Dec. 12, 2004
LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. -- Sophomore Tamara Tatham (Brampton, Ontario) posted a double-double with a career-high 21 points and 11 rebounds to lift the University of Massachusetts (6-3) over Siena (3-6), 59-49, Sunday afternoon. The Minutewomen head into a 17-day break for the holidays and final exams on a five-game winning streak for the first time in two years. In addition, the Minutewomen are 4-0 on the road for the first time since the 1979-80 season and have matched last year's win total.
"We came out trying to run and get the ball inside," said Massachusetts head coach Marnie Dacko. "We missed too many lay-ups and had a chance to put the game away early in the second half. Overall, I am very pleased with our effort tonight, especially from the free throw line. If we can't score from the perimeter then we need to stop them and we had a couple of lapses out there tonight."
The Minutewomen were down by four points, 26-22, with 3:34 left in the first half. Freshman Kate Mills (Elkton, Md.) then got a lay-up at the 3:10 mark. That sparked a 14-0 run by the Minutewomen over 7:06 to give them a 10-point lead early in the second half. Massachusetts continued to play stingy defense and led by 16 points, 46-30, at the 9:32 mark of the second half. Siena hit a couple of quick three-pointers to cut the deficit into single digits, but were unable to get any closer than seven points as UMass hit clutch free throws down the stretch.
Massachusetts shot a season-high 80 percent from the free throw line for the game (20-for-25). It was 13-for-15 (.867) from the charity stripe in the second half. UMass held the Saints to a .237 (14-59) clip from the field and .188 (6-32) in the second half. That was the third straight game that the Minutewomen have held their opponent under 30 percent shooting from the field. Massachusetts shot .346 (18-52) from the field in the game. The Minutewomen committed 16 turnovers and forced the Saints into 15.
Tatham set a new career-high in points and tied her career-best on the boards. She was 7-for-15 from the field, 7-for-10 from the free throw line and also added two assists and three steals. Senior Brooke Campbell (Baltimore, Md.) had four points, eight rebounds and tied a career-high with five assists. Freshman Pam Rosanio (Southampton, Pa.) added 10 points and a career-high six rebounds. She has now reached double-figures in seven of her nine career games. Mills chipped in with four points, a career-high five rebounds and three blocked shots. She has now blocked eight shots in the last four games.
Massachusetts will now enjoy a 17-day break for the holidays and final exams before heading to College Park, Md., Dec. 28-29, for the Terrapin Classic. The Minutewomen will face No. 19/21 Maryland in the first game at 7:00 p.m. Elon and Marshall are also participating in the tournament.

Hoarding Affects Up to 15 Million Americans: Now Officially a Serious Mental Health Problem
By Shari Roan for TakePart.com
If you've seen the TV shows Hoarders or Hoarding: Buried Alive, you've undoubtedly had this thought: "These poor people could definitely use some professional help." Or maybe you've seen something on the evening news about public health officials being called to someone's house because it's become a health hazard, packed with so much trash and junk (or worse) that normal living is all but impossible.
And while hoarding is already recognized as a mental health disorder, it will now become official with its inclusion in the upcoming publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (often called the "DSM" for short), an important reference used by mental health professionals and insurance companies, among others.
The new edition of the DSM—called DSM-5—will be released in May by the American Psychiatric Association. It reflects a decade-long process to update and improve the recognition and treatment of mental illness.
The inclusion of hoarding in the DSM comes from the huge amount of research done on the condition over the past decade. Hoarding was considered a mental health problem before but it was classified as a sub-type of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). But studies show people who are hoarders often don't have any other OCD symptoms.
"I think the DSM has caught up to where the field is," Jeff Szymanski, executive director of the International OCD Foundation, told TakePart. "Typically, hoarding had been thought of as a subtype of OCD. Anxiety is the prominent experience with someone with OCD. With people with hoarding disorder, the disorder is not generated by anxiety…So the treatments for OCD didn't apply."
Hoarding is the inability to discard possessions regardless of their value. Hoarders often stack books, boxes, toys, clothes, and other items from floor to ceiling, leaving only tiny pathways from which to maneuver around their homes. Hoarders are often procrastinators and have great trouble making decisions—including what to keep and what to throw out. "Hoarders get very excited about things, and they are not good at categorizing things in a linear way," Syzmanski says. "They don't like to put things away. They like to have everything out so they can find it. They get sentimentally attached to objects." They can't get rid of objects because they feel guilty or like they're doing something wrong, he adds.
A New Blood Test for Depression Proves It's Not All In Your Head
The condition isn't rare. About five percent of Americans have the disorder, according to studies. Most people with the condition aren't aware that what they're doing is unusual or problematic.
But it is a problem. "The definition of any mental disorder includes some significant impairment," he says. "You aren't able to get to work or maintain relationships or care for yourself. There are people who are pack rats or who collect things or people who like trinkets and tchotchkes. But when you can no longer move around your house, or your house has become unsafe or a fire hazard, you're no longer talking about an eccentricity."

I am concerned that I may be a hoarder. I know I am a Pack Rat. I don't like throwing things away in case I need them. I have mega hobbies too. I have stopped going to Garage sales as they are too tempting.I don't have a filthy house, just lots and lots of stuff. My fridge, stove, bathroom, counter tops are always well maintained. I tell myself I don't have enough cupboard space, which I don't.
I am university educated, so I am well aware that I may have a problem. Except, every few months, I have a Blitz and take tings to the Thrift store and tidy up my piles.
I have never discussed this before.
You're in denial. You're a boarder, albeit a class 1 boarder. If you're ashamed of having company over, you're a boarder. If you're rooms serve as storage rather than accommodating guests you're a boarder. If you keep things in you're house because you might need them later, you're a hoarder
Be proud and change with us hoarders.

Brace yourselves.
The other day, I got an email from The Bump.
If you don't know what that is, let me clue you in—it's a website for mothers and mothers-to-be. ACK! I'm neither of those yet.
After working in the marketing world for a few years now, I could sort of figure out why I got the email. The Bump is connected to two other websites, The Knot (for newly married or engaged couples) and The Nest (for newly married or engaged couples that are making a home). I used The Knot to make our wedding website while we were engaged, so the company has my email address and tries to figure out at what point of my life I should be receiving which emails.
I guess they figure that The Bump is the next step in our lives. Slow your roll, The Bump. Slow…your…roll.
That was a long-winded way for me to get to the point(s) of this blog post:
- I don't have a baby, nor am I pregnant. (Someday hopefully though!)
- I have a blog called The Kitten Kitchen. Duh, right? You're reading this post right now.
- I love my kitchen. Duh x2. This blog is about stuff I make in the kitchen.
- I love cats. Duh x3. This blog is called The Kitten Kitchen and is thusly named because I have four cats, all of which are awesome and love to hang out with me while I'm making delicious foods in my kitchen.
- My "kittens" are the closest thing I have to a baby, but way easier because I can leave them home whenever I want to go drink wine and Child Protective Services won't knock on my door.
I still don't get the point of this blog post, Daniele.
Okay, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to help you get to know the Cusentino "babies," since they're a big part of our lives. They each have very strong personalities, which is why they were each eager to participate in my interviews for the blog. Yes, you read that last sentence correctly.
They're also really excited because they got to try Kroger's new pet food line called #Luvsome, for free, simply because I have this here blog called The Kitten Kitchen. We'll get more into that later. Let's enjoy some Q&A with a cat named Eleanor RigbyCat, top left in the photo below.
Q: State your name for the record, please.
A: Eleanor RigbyCat. And you are Captain Obvious. You just stated my name in the paragraph above. Sheesh. This is going to be a long interview.
Q: Chill, little girl. What are some of your favorite activities?
A: Sleeping, throwing up, blocking Chris from getting anywhere near you and obviously hating the three other disgusting boys that live here. Four, if you count Chris.
Q: Do you have any nicknames? If so, what are they?
A: Well, seeing that you are crazy and can't just call me by my lawfully given name, of course I have nicknames. Where do I even begin? Ellie, Ells, Ellers, Riggs, Rigsby, Riggers, Rigsies, Buggs, Booshy, RiggaRoo, Ellie Roo, Rooby, Roobers, Roobs, Kitsies…ugh. This is disgusting. My name is Eleanor RigbyCat. Just call me Eleanor RigbyCat in this interview. Don't embarrass me.
Q: I can't help it you're so freakin' cute. Alright, I'll try not to embarrass you. Next question. What's your favorite food?
A: Wet food. I love the stuff. Know what else I love? That I can eat it and 10 minutes later throw it up on purpose so that you can have something useful to do.
Q: Thanks. So what did you think about that #LUVSOME canned cat food you tried last week?
A: Well, I thought it was pretty dang delicious, and it was nice of you to let me have some, considering I'm mostly on a bland, disgusting diet because of my kidney disease. I guess I should thank you for that small treat. But I won't. Next question.
Q: Is there a famous cat that you view as a role model?
A: Hilarious. I think you should ask the famous cats why they are always trying to be like me.
Q: Anything else you want the audience to know?
A: While I do have an attitude, I also have one heck of a purr motor and wet nose. I like to use these things to get you to pay attention to me, and it always works. I have you eating out of the palm of my paw at all times of the day. And it's pretty nice—because you're my best friend and we were made for each other. Okay. Sappiness over. Give me more of that canned food.
And there you have it. That was Eleanor RigbyCat doing what she does best—pretending to have an attitude. She did love the canned #LUVSOME food (especially licking up the gravy), so that's why if you have a cat or dog friend, we'd like you to enter to win a chance to get some free #LUVSOME loot too! I have two switch kits to give away to two lucky readers! Inside each is a $50 Kroger gift card and a coupon to try LUVSOME dog or cat pet food for free. The more tasks you complete in the raffle box below, the more entries you get!
If you decide to try #LUVSOME and share about it on your social networks, be sure to use the hashtag #LUVSOME on all posts—the brand will donate a bowl of food to the Best Friends Animal Society!

21 Comments on Meet Eleanor RigbyCat, Plus Enter to Win $50 From Kroger & Free LUVSOME Pet Food
hilarious! Someday I hope to meet Ms. Eleanor RigbyCat. Our kitty, Huckleberry, loves his nicknames just as much. Huck (duh), Hucklebabes, Hucklebutt, Poop Foot, Poopy Pants, Sir Poops-a-Lot, Mr. Peebody, Mr. Fluff Stuff, Rottens, Rotten Totten, and the list goes on…
Beamer is our pet…He is funny, loves to cuddle and loves visitors!
My kitty witty is so spoiled, he does not like me touching any other pets nor does he want anyone else to close to me or touching me. He is so spoiled when I am out in the garden he jumps in front of me, walks all over my flowers and even lay on them sometimes. He will do this until I stop what ever I am doing and rub on him.
If I win the gift card, I'll spend it on cat litter and beer.
I have two cute dogs, Foxy & Lucy. One is sweet and lovable, the other is a maniac. Love my girls!
My pup is a beautiful corgi who loves playing outdoors in the water!
Alright, so here's the 411 on my pets.
Our oldest cat is a male siamese-tabby mix named Starbuck (after Battlestar Galactica's Kara Thrace, not the coffee). He became part of my family after my mom found him in a dumpster at her work. A cat had a litter of kittens and then abandoned them :(. Nobody else would take Starbuck because he was so mean and would spit at everyone who tried to touch him. I almost named Pho, after the dilophosaurus, because that's the little spitting dinosaur in Jurassic Park. He's pretty happy to be named after his favorite character on his favorite show, though. He's 3 years old now. He's still a little crazy, a little cross-eyed every once and a while and he LOVES people and nutritional yeast. His favorite person is my boyfriend, Josh, and he loves to snuggle with Josh and suck on Josh's shirt. He's a weird cat. His favorite activity is chasing the red dot and biting me.
Our other kitty is Waffles. He is a male tuxedo cat. I let Josh name him. Waffles is a little over a year old, and I adopted him at the Boone County Animal Shelter. I knew he belonged in our family, because his description said that he was found in a dumpster JUST LIKE HIS BROTHER. They were meant to be family, garbage-pail-kittens… Waffles is a bit neurotic about food and likes to comb the floors of our house seeing what he can ingest. Consequently, we've never been more careful. Waffles also loves me more than any other human in the world and likes to clean my hair. When he can't get my attention, he engages in displacement behaviors. His most famous incidents have been eating my bra strap while I was getting ready to go somewhere. We were able to get him to the vet ASAP, and he had a $200 barf. The other incident happened while we were sleeping. Waffles decided to eat a hoodie string off of a hoodie I left out (d'oh!). I didn't notice until he puked up a good portion of it the next day, and then he just kept getting sick, so he had to have an emergency surgery and wear a cone of shame for two weeks. His favorite activity is to jump in the bathroom sink and turn the handles to get a little kitty shower.
Oh! And the nicknames.
Starbuck: Starbuckoo, Starbuckle, Starbuckra (when he's being bad and deserves a bad name), Starby, Starbutt, Fartbuck
Waffles: Wurflers, Waffle Bear, Wurflybear, Baby Waffles
I have Sammy and Eli
My two boys like LuvSum! Sammy is a Maine Coon and he is a character, always into something and Eli acts like a wise old man. Eli came from my father's farm and Sammy was a rescue. They both like to sleep on my chest, gets a little crowded.
I have a Maine Coon cat named Bugsy. We got him from a rescue and have had him about 3 years. We think he's about 6 years old. He's a real character, but doesn't play well with others, so he will probably remain an only cat!
I have the most amazing cat named Buddy. He's so good with my 7 year old daughter . She calls him her baby and he had no problem being her baby.

Thread: IES Lighting help required
IES Lighting help required
Help with IES lighting.....Pleeeeese
Can anybody help please,
I'm creating renders for alighting design company and have been asked to use IES lighting. I'm pretty cool with scene set ups and loading IES lighting data but my renders appear dark.
The lighting scheme I am using has been designed by the lighting company and the IES lights supplied by there chosen manufacturers, so I'm confident the scheme should be brighter.
To keep it simple the scene is a basement with no external light influences (although I will be doing a ground floor area with external 'shop front' light influence later and may ask about setting that up with correct levels)
Can any one advise regarding:
Diffuse settings on surfaces - its simple to ramp up the diffuse levels of the scene to get the lights looking brighter but I guess this isn't accurate as the client wants to see a simulation of the pre-designed lighting scheme.
IES lights import at a standard 50% Lightwave 'Light Intensit'y but also have an 'IES Brightness' slider which imports as Brightness 1.0 Is there a standard way to set these up so that I get real life lighting results to illustrate the lighting design as in the real world?
It seems there are many variables within the Lightwave environment which allow me to steer away from real life settings, this is great when setting up 'imaginary' images but confusing when trying to set up a real life lighting scenario....
Any help would be very much appreciated
I've found that IES files are ALL over the place regarding intensity at LW 100% int. A couple I've used have needed to be boosted up to 1,000% - 3,000%!! So, tweak the light intensity until you get the desired brightness.Dean A. Scott, mfa

As you probably know, Lightwave isn't set up to be 'physically accurate' so regardless of how accurate the IES settings are, they won't light a room the way their real life counterparts would on their own.
You'll most likely have to beef up the lighting as well as playing around with the radiosity settings. An Area light pointing up from the floor for example will help recreate the bounce effect of downlights.
If you're really struggling post the scene and we can have a look.
As a general rule, standard plaster walls work well at about 80% diffuse with some specularity. I'd only add subtle reflection and bump if you're going in close.portfolio

all above is true. LW is not physically accurate. So your left with real world DATA that is not properly used. It's going to be a fake but you can get pretty close.
As far as adjusting radiosity I find that a few extra bounces help, but much pass that doesn't do it. Then I move to bumping up the actual intensity. Sometimes as much as 200-300%. this always brightens things up and then adds that feeling of 50+ bounces of light.
Good luck.

"Revenge" has been an ABC fan-favorite since debuting in the fall line-up in 2010. The back story between Emily Clarke and the Grayson family is enticing. After three seasons, fans were finally given the confirmation that David Clarke is alive. As the Season 3 finale ended, Victoria Grayson was in a mental institution and Conrad Grayson was left for dead after an encounter with David Clarke. According to a July 15 report from E! Online, Season 4 of "Revenge" will pick up in present-day. This means Emily is living out in the open and David Clarke is alive.
There are so many questions surrounding the resurrection of David Clarke. "Revenge" fans have been speculating for quite some time that the man may be alive. The biggest question surrounding the entire story is why Clarke remained in hiding when he knew his daughter was still alive and out in the world. The flashbacks shown always alluded to the fact that Amanda and David were close, so there is confusion about why Clarke stayed quiet for so long.
It was just announced that Season 4 of "Revenge" will the last. It makes sense because the show has really come full-circle. Emily finally got the better of the Grayson family, even with all it cost her. David Clarke was able to hurt Conrad Grayson, something he had probably waited years to do. Emily is going to be living an open life, but fans aren't sure if that means as Amanda Clarke or not.
Fans are excited to see what Season 4 will bring, but also sad that "Revenge" is coming to an end. While the story was never going to be able to fill multiple seasons, the writers did a fantastic job keeping fans on the edge of their seats. After the Season 3 finale, there is no telling what will pop up in Season 4.

Last week, all eyes were on the Detroit Lions as they took on Johnny Manziel and associates to open the preseason. This week, the Lions face the Oakland Raiders, who have... players, I presume. As such, maybe this game isn't going to set the world on fire, but it is Detroit Lions preseason football. I mean, yes, the game is on at 10:00 at night on Friday, and the game doesn't count for anything, but, hey, maybe tune in?
I imagine the starters will see more time this week, which is good for viewers but bad for people worried about injuries. However, they do need to get some reps. Matthew Stafford needs to throw the ball to Golden Tate some, and ideally Eric Ebron some. Beyond that, though, it will be more of the George Winn show, and all eyes will be on Nate Freese. Can he keep his edge in the kicking battle?
The Raiders may have the worst roster in the NFL. It's certainly up there, or rather down there. They added their own rookie quarterback in Derek Carr, and Khalil Mack should be good, but they shouldn't really challenge the Lions too much, including the backups. We probably won't get much of a sense of the defense. I don't know if the secondary will be challenged. Oh well. It's preseason. Guys will get reps and see the field and that will be good.
The third preseason game is when we will really get to see the starters, but this game will look more like a regular season game than the opener. For now, I'm still just waiting for the regular season, as I want to see the offensive and defensive schemes in full flight. Dan Orlovsky against Oakland's backup defense on a field that has a baseball diamond on it just doesn't fill me with enthusiasm.

I agree with cresteds...Here's the bottom line: If your husband doesn't think he's ready for children getting yourself pregnant isn't going to make him more ready, it's just going to freak him out. It's not going to make your relationship better and it has the huge potential to make it worse. WAIT UNTIL HE'S READY!

Have sex when your ovulating.

I agree that if your husband isn't ready or willing to have a baby, getting pregnant is a really bad idea and will just destroy your relationship with him. Please don't get pregnant until your husband is ready to participate in raising a child.

According to ABC News on Tuesday, two generous celebrities are helping Texas Southern University's marching band that needs $150,000 to go to Canton, Ohio later this summer. The band is trying to get there to play for Michael Strahan's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The marching band's goal was to raise the funds in 30 days.
Earlier this month, actor and comedian Kevin Hart pledged on the Tom Joyner Morning Show to donate $50,000 to Texas Southern University's Ocean of Soul marching band. The news of the pledge was confirmed by TSU's Alumni Relations.
Strahan, 42, is an alumnus of TSU. He announced on his daytime morning talk show, "Live with Kelly and Michael" today that he is offering his alma mater's marching band some big help to the tune of $100,000. This means the "Ocean of Soul" marching band has met its goal and will be able to travel to perform for Strahan's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Strahan spent his entire 15-year career playing for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). Strahan did not get voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013, his first year of eligibility. The second time around was a charm for him to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2014 on Feb. 1. However, the actual induction is not until Aug. 1 through Aug. 3.
To honor his achievement and to celebrate Tiger pride, the Ocean of Soul marching band has been invited to participate in the prestigious Enshrinement Celebration by leading the Grand Parade through downtown Canton and performing at the Fan Appreciation Tailgate Party on the Hall of Fame Campus.
The Tom Joyner Morning Show will be in Houston this coming Friday hosting live from The Breakfast Klub and later at Grooves for Happy Hour to raise money for Texas Southern University's Ocean of Soul. With the amount that Hart and Strahan have pledged, this will be in excess to what the band needs. TSU's Associate Vice President Eva Pickens, who is leading the initiative, said in a release, "If we surpass our goal, monies will be used for scholarships to band students."

Abbott's Nauru plan questioned
Questions over funding for media coverage and capacity for asylum seekers have clouded Tony Abbott's plans for using Nauru as a key centre for off shore processing.PT0M0S 620 349
A logistics company that stands to profit from the Coalition's ''tent city'' on Nauru funded the trip of its immigration spokesman Scott Morrison to the remote island to announce the plan to house up to 2000 asylum seekers in tents.
The trip to Nauru was facilitated by Toll Holdings, which has multimillion-dollar contracts to help handle asylum seekers and is understood to have chartered the flight to Nauru for the Coalition and a journalist and photographer from News Corporation.

Contacted on Tuesday morning, Mr Morrison's office had no policy documents to accompany the announcement, and a spokeswoman advised reporters to get their information from what had been reported in News Corp newspapers. Mr Morrison later issued a news release with broad details of the policy.
''My understanding is that the trip was wholly privately funded,'' Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said. Asked whether Toll paid for it, he said: ''Look, it's wholly privately funded, and there's no reason whatsoever why it shouldn't be funded in that way.''
Fairfax Media is awaiting a response from Toll Holdings.

Allan Asher, a former Commonwealth ombudsman, was critical of the arrangement: ''I think at any time of the year that would be a questionable thing, but in the context of elections, it just makes it an entirely inappropriate thing to do.''
Toll Holdings has contracts with the Department of Immigration valued at about $26 million.
This is not the first time a company has funded media travel to Nauru.

In 2011 the trucking baron Lindsay Fox loaned his private plane to Mr Abbott, Mr Morrison and a media group - including Fairfax, News Limited and the ABC - after the government refused Mr Abbott the use of government VIP jets.

Correction: In the original version of the story it said that Toll chartered the flight for the Coalition and News Limited. Toll Holdings says they were flying regardless and gave the spare seats on the plane to the Coalition.

Something is Rotten in the State of Millersville University
By Tonya Jarrett
Special to the College Sports Journal
PHILADELPHIA, PA. -- I have written this editorial to bring attention to the plight of the Varsity Men's Track & Field/Cross-Country programs at Millersville University (PA).
Administrators from Millersville claim that eliminating three sports — men's cross-country, men's track and field and indoor track and field — will save the university $200,000. "We had to look at cost containment," claims Dr. Aminta Breaux, who oversees the athletic department.
I believe what these administrators, President McNairy, Vice-President Breaux, and Chancellor Cavanaugh have done is wrong. And yet the Millersville administrators continue to duck, weave and obfuscate, hoping students will give up in their fight to save Millersville's men's track teams.

Booyakasha!! Playmates has issued new figures from the hit Nickelodeon cartoon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This series will be 9 and 10 in their new line. The figures that they are featuring this time around are Splinter in his Dojo outfit, a Robotic Krang/Foot Clan Ninja, Slash, and the new Newtralizer. Each character comes with weapons and accessories that are unique to them. Various internet news outlets, the TMNT website being one, have teased that there is supposed to be a new TigerClaw action figure coming available that would foreshadow his return to the TV series, but I have not the release notice for that figure yet. I guess that we will have to wait just a little bit longer for that particular figure to come out. For those of you that were fans of the original animated series, I can be counted among that number, and have not checked out this new one yet.......you are missing out on a great show. There are many similarities to the old series, but with a lot more funny thrown in. As of the news release for these figures in April, there was not release date listed for them. So look for them to be dropping soon, if they haven't already. Also, there are new figures being released next month in anticipation of the new TMNT live action movie that comes out in August. I haven't seen too many pictures of these figures so far, but the ones that I have seen look like they will be different from anything that you may have seen before. All in all, this looks to be a very exciting time for the TMNT fan in all of us. And remember, as always, they are not dolls.........they are ACTION FIGURES!!

Hypothesis: Dietary exposure to high levels of saturated fat (lard) or n-6 poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) increases the risk of prostate cancer while exposure to an n-3 PUFA enriched diet reduces cancer risk. In combination with longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR spectroscopy (MRS) in vivoexperiments and ex vivo and in vitro mechanistic investigations, will investigate the role of exogenous dietary risk factors on prostate cancer. These experiments will ultimately be of enormous benefit to the study of the etiology of prostate disease.
