There was deliberate and well considered methodology in determining how much each non-profit arts organization received from the festival.
ThE chosen ones who energized their boards and their supporters to not only attend but also to donate to the silent auction received a greater percentage of the proceeds. A similar mathematical structure was used in last fall's Collabragala at the Riverfront. It would have been mightily unfair otherwise.
The troglodytes whine that it should have been equally distributed. Take a deep breath. You were fortunate to be included and whatever you received is more than you had PRIOR.
I surmise that DE Theatre Co made out so well because Mike Kullman is on their board. You may have heard of his wife, head of a 200 year old DE based company. They stepped up to the plate and invited guests to their home to the tune of $1000 per ticket. The Kullmans designated DTC the beneficiary of their largesse. (Moral? Choose your board members wisely).
Ajit George, major domo of this grand event, admitted mistakes. What he and his firm attempted to do is to create a festival that would be widely admired. With great risks come even greater rewards. We should support his vision.
Owing that I have a strong link to Hagley due to my one man show The DuPont Story A Family A Company, I attended an invited affair last eve at the Museum celebrating their new exhibit on nylon. A surprisingly poor turnout. One would think Hagley has tens of thousands on their mail lists. I would suggest there were 60 attendees, one third of whom were employees and vendors.
Geoff Halfpenny, the ED is retiring. I was told there is a national search. Perhaps the new ED will create a bit more energy for public events. Unlike Ajit George, Hagley's reach has traditionally been inward. What a beautiful sylvan spot on the banks of our Brandywine this pacific spring evening.

Joe Gaiter took the time to sit down with Courtney Dial of Fort Valley State who has endured a successful career. Dial specifies many of his accomplishments in his interview with Joe among many thoughts on his road to the NFL.
Joe Gaiter: Who is Courtney Daniel?
Courtney Daniel: A humble, hard working, God fearing individual.
Joe Gaiter: What are some of your accomplishments?
Courtney Daniel: I have been blessed of being named SIAC Player of the Week twice and SIAC Honorable Mention three times, Fountain City Classic MVP, HBCU All-American, Don Hansen All-Region Team, BSN All-American Honorable Mention, Don Hansen All-American Honorable Mention just to name a few.
Joe Gaiter: What are your biggest strengths on the field?
Courtney Daniel: Speed and knowing where to be are my biggest strengths on the field. Although I feel like I'm an all around player. I may even try to get some action at corner (laughing).
Joe Gaiter: How will you prove yourself on the field?
Courtney Daniel I will improve myself on the field by making plays and making every rep count. Making my next rep better than the one before and even making every mental rep resourceful.
Joe Gaiter: Who has been your biggest influence in your football career?
Courtney Daniel: I don't think anyone could influence me more than myself. My other biggest influences would have to be my family. It influences me that much more to see the look on their faces when my name is mentioned.
Joe Gaiter: Who in the NFL has your style of play?
Courtney Daniel: My style of play I would say Jonathan Vilma. He's a great player and he's smart, but he plays hard and fast.
Joe Gaiter: What goals do you have for the NFL?
Courtney Daniel: My goals are simple: become as productive as I can for my team; become a pro bowler; become one of the best to play my position; play in and win the Super Bowl
Joe Gaiter: What is the hardest part about playing your position?
Courtney Daniel: The hardest part would be the fact that you would have to know where everyone is in-front and behind. So if you make a mistake and you're not where you're supposed to be then you will be exposed.
Joe Gaiter: How will you elevate your skills to a NFL level?
Courtney Daniel: I feel as if you get out what you put in. Paying close attention to formations and mannerisms (learning the players tendencies), of course hard work in which I'm not a stranger of, and being mentally strong.
Joe Gaiter: What will you miss the most about playing at Fort Valley State University?
Courtney Daniel: I would have to say it would be my teammates. Over the last couple of years I have gotten close to these guys which made it a lot easier to play with them along with the fact that they were great athletes. I'm also going to miss playing in the classic against our rival Albany State.

Sunbonnet Sue costume
Added Apr 3, 2012
by naama
Rehovot, Israel
Since I started sewing five years ago, I have been promising to myself to sew my own costume. However, every year I found myself too busy by school works, and had to improvise some funny makeup in the last minute.
This year, I started planning really early so that I won't get stuck again. Of course I finished sewing on the night before I needed to wear the costume, but hey, I did finish on time! Now I can proudly declare:
Finally, for the first time in five years, I have a real costume!
I used Simplicity 5395 for the skirt, and changed a bit the following tutorial for the bonnet:
The apron is my grandmother's gift. She gave it to me at the age of 9 or so for a costume.
The pics are not so great, but I guess you can't expect for more when you're taking them 2 minutes before you're out for a party, right..?

Take all fields to be algebraically closed. Show that if $G$ is a finite group with trivial centre and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$ with non-trivial centre, then any faithful representation of $G$ is reducible after restriction of $H$
I think I have it, but I'd like someone to check my answer.
Let $ \rho : G \to \mathrm{GL}(V)$ be a faithful representation, where $G$ is finite with trivial centre and where $V$ is a $k$-vector space where $k$ is algebraically closed. Then the restriction $\theta = \rho \big|_H : H \to \mathrm{GL}(V)$ is a faithful representation of $H$. Suppose this representation were irreducible. We have some $ e \neq z \in Z(H)$, and so $\theta(z) \in \mathrm{Hom}_H(V,V)$. By Schur's Lemma, this means that $\mathrm{dim} \ \mathrm{Hom}_H(V,V) = 1$, and so $\theta(z) =\lambda \mathrm{id}_V$ for some for some $\lambda \in k \backslash \{1\}$ ($\lambda \neq 1$, since the representation is faithful). Since $\rho$ is faithful $G \cong \mathrm{Im}(\rho)$, but $Z(\mathrm{Im}(\rho)) \ni \theta(z) = \rho(z) \neq \mathrm{id}_V$, and so $z \in Z(G)$. The contradiction establishes the result.

March 12, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -
After a standout performance against LSU last Friday, Alabama senior Ashley Priess has been named the Southeastern Conference Gymnast of the Week the league office announced on Tuesday.
The Wheaton, Ill., native clinched Alabama's victory over LSU by winning the balance beam with a 9.95, a season-best for Priess and the Tide on the beam. It also tied Priess' career-best mark on the event. Priess also won the uneven bars, tying her career best of 9.925, which was the Tide's highest score on the uneven bars this season.
"It was another meet when it came down to Ashley Priess at the end of our balance beam lineup and she came through once again like a champion," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said.
Priess' scores propelled Alabama to its highest team total of the season, a 197.725, which is also the highest road score in the nation in 2013. The Tide's 197.725 was also the second highest score in the nation last week and the highest in the SEC.
Priess and her Tide teammates close out its regular season this Friday in Coleman Coliseum against the top-ranked Sooners. The Tide will recognize Becca Alexin, Marissa Gutierrez, Ashley Sledge and Priess in Senior Night ceremonies prior to the competition. Tickets are available through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262) located in the lobby of Coleman Coliseum or online at RollTide.com.

Bud break in the Napa Valley
It's been a while, quite a while in fact, since we've shared a visual of what the Napa Valley looks like. This afternoon we were in St. Helena enjoying the amazing weather and we stopped to snap a few photos.
As you can see from the image below, the vines have come a long way since January, when they sat dormant. It won't be long now before the vines enter the flowering stage and soon there will be fruit visible among all the vineyard rows.
This is truly a magical time of year!

Juan Manuel Marquez earned a lopsided unanimous decision over Mike Alvarado on Saturday night at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
The 5-foot-7 Marquez (56-7-1, 40 KOs) officially trumped the 5-foot-9 Alvarado (34-3, 23 KOs) by counts of 119-109, 117-109, 117-109.
A brilliant tactician with thunderous power, Marquez consistently landed flush jabs that left Alvarado's face bruised, cut and swollen.
Sensing a beaten man, Marquez floored "Mile High" in the eighth with a vicious overhand right.
"I said it was going to be a tough fight and I said it was going to be a difficult fight," said Marquez, 40, whose chest was curiously marred by acne. "I wanted to give the public here a gift. A gift that dignifies the history of this event and the history of the Forum. I wanted to make this fight a gift to the fans."
Despite getting victimized by accurate combinations, Alvarado managed to test Marquez.
Displaying impressive testicular fortitude, Alvarado sent the graying Mexican to the canvas with a right in the ninth.
"I knew I needed to let my hands go to create some more shots for me," said Alvarado, 33, a former junior welterweight champion. "The way the fight went, he backed up and he felt the power from me so he fought a good fight."
Although flawed and ready to get knocked onto Queer Street for the first time in his professional career, Marquez remains a gifted counterpuncher and one of the premier Mexican boxers ever.
With a fifth match against "The Fighting Pride of the Philippines" looming, expect Juan Manuel Marquez to lose to Manny Pacquiao for a third time in the late autumn.

Zac Etheridge is an NCAA National Champion. Is the NFL next?
Scott Porter: What do you feel are your biggest strengths?
Zac Etheridge: Being able to read what the offensive player is going to do and my knowledge of the game. I am good at playing close to the ball and being a leader.

Zac Etheridge: Adrian Wilson from the Arizona Cardinals. The way we play is very similar, we are able to play the pass well and play near the line of scrimmage.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Zac Etheridge: My first goal is to get drafted and make a team. Then I want to go out there and compete and be able to contribute my first year to help my team win the Super Bowl.

Zac Etheridge: As a child I had to deal with a lot of adversity and this was just something else that I had to get through. I had a lot of people behind me and they always stayed positive! Once they told me I was going to be able to play again, I wanted to go out there and prove that I could play just as well as I did before my injury. Right now my neck is stronger than it was before!
Scott Porter: What are your hobbies off the field?
Zac Etherdige: I like to play video games, relax and hang out with my family.

Zac Etherdige: I started playing football when I was 12. At first I didn't really like playing but once I started playing with all my friends and just having a good time I really started to love it.

So, it would appear that UT3 has adopted a rather odd approach to attract Linux gamers. Their theory seems to be selling them a disk that only work under Windows and a promise that they will get right on the Linux client thing. While they do say that the Linux port will use the same disk, I am not sure how many people are going to run out and buy a disk they can't use. The fact that the editor uses wxWidgets does offer some hope to those waiting for the Linux binary to be complete, but still doesn't take the sting out of the snub.

Actor Ving Rhames has signed on to play lighthouse keeper and mentor McCaffery in "Aquaman," a pilot on new TV network The CW.
While Will Toale had been set to play A.C. Curry in the "Smallville" spinoff, The CW changed course and cast soap star Justin Hartley in the twentysomething role.
The Hollywood Reporter, citing sources, said CBS Corp. President-Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves was a major reason the "Aquaman" part was recast.
Rhames starred in USA's "Kojak" revival last year.
He will reprise his role as Luther Stickell in the movie "Mission: Impossible III" later this year.

GRAFTON – One week from Saturday, the Midview Athletic Hall of Fame will induct its class of 2013.
It's an annual event that brings out proud Midview High School alumni, but this year the graduate known by many as "Mr. Midview" will not be in attendance.
Don Binnie, 75, of Grafton, the man behind the moniker, died Saturday at EMH Elyria Medical Center after a brief illness. His absence will undoubtedly be felt in the room, but those who knew him best said he would not want to steal the spotlight from the deserving alumni.
"Don will surely be missed. He touched so many lives, and I can't think of a person who will be in the room that does not know him," said friend and neighbor Dick Bickel, also a hall of fame member.
Bickel said Binnie will be honored in the event program with a list of his many accomplishments.
His affinity for all things Midview began as part of the first graduating class in 1956. While at Midview, he participated in athletics, band, choir and theatre. He was a charter member and officer of the Athletic Booster Club.
In 1980, he helped organize the Midview Athletic Hall of Fame and was its president for seven years.
"It was actually his idea from the ground up," said Tim Alcorn, a 1981 graduate and MAHOF board member. "He really wanted it to happen. He was a Midview guy through and through. He knew Lorain and Elyria had halls of fame and there were so many great athletes that also came out of Midview."
Binnie was not just interested in the athletic endeavors of students, he served several terms on the Midview school board.
"If there was a sports game, he was there, but if there was a levy campaign that needed community support, he was also there," Alcorn said. "He was interested in just about all aspects of the school."
Bickel said Binnie's home office looked like a Midview locker room with a place for every picture or plaque of appreciation that was bestowed upon him.
Even those who did not know Binnie's name may have known his voice. He was a longtime sports announcer for both football and basketball broadcasts.
Alcorn said many were hoping their friend would be able to attend this year's festivities. He last had lunch with Binnie in early August and he was in good spirits.
Beyond Midview, Binnie was a very successful businessman who loved living and working in Grafton.
He started his insurance career in 1961 and was a partner in Meyers, Homestead Binnie agency from 1979 to 1991. He had an office in Grafton since 1991 and remained active as a financial adviser.
Binnie was also a longtime member of the North Eaton Christian Church.
"He was one of the most honest men I have ever known," said Bickel. "He always cared about the other person and wanted to makes sure they knew how important they were."
Bickel said the simplest way Binnie showed his true nature was in returning phone calls.
"He made sure he returned every call. He was somewhat of a stickler about it, too," he said. "I know it's a simple thing, but he was that kind of guy."

Startups are volatile entities that shift and change with the ebb of the economic flow. Many startups lack in the areas of "How do we make money?" and "How do we build critical mass?" Two questions that usually 1 or 2 people at a startup are tasked with figuring out while the designers and developers plug away building the product. And the easy answer is ... well, there isn't one. Unless you've got great connections and access to a network of partnerships through your Founders, Angels or VC; you're in the same boat like the rest of us. How can we get the word out about our product so we can generate revenue from advertising or some type of freemium model? So, I wanted to share some things that I've actually planned and executed that have worked so far.
If you want people to come, forget about the Field of Dreams and get real. Build a plan that identifies who the stakeholders are from customers, staff, influencers, decision makers, ambassadors and so on. Know who you are creating messages for. Learn about the little things that make the tick. Understand your audience. Next, identify the channels (I'll stick to online since this is an online community) that can connect your message to your audience's ear. Maybe it's SEO, maybe it's this thing called social media that everyone is trying to figure out how to measure or maybe it's buying sponsored placement on a niche website. Whatever it is, here is a list of strategies and tactics that might help you out. I'm only listing things I've actually implemented and that have shown a positive return.

SEO - This is your bread and butter, long-term foundation that will propel your CPA down and ROI up. Find your core keywords, create a theme for your website and devise a list of keywords to build from and integrate them into each page. Don't forget the long tail, the more keywords, the better chance someone might find what they're looking for.
Link Development, Link Building - So you've optimized your website. That's good, but you're not done. Identify sites that are relevant to what you're doing and build inbound links using your targeted keywords. I find the best way is to talk to people, bloggers and writers about your product and see if they'll write a post. Maybe in exchange for some cross promotion, they'll use your keywords in the anchor text that link to your website. Don't forget about those old school web directories. Also, a little gold nugget, build some social bookmarking links to the blog posts about you using your target keywords, reinforce the theme.
Online PR - This is where most of your time will be spent. Find the people who are interested about your product or subject matter and connect with them. Create conversations and better yet, invest the time to add value to their research by providing them with data. These are key relationships down the road as you launch new features, but don't inundate them with bug fixes and micro upgrades. Give them the good stuff before you announce it. It's two way street out there now, so you got to give to receive. To support that SEO tactic, build an optimized press release, send it out via some online news wire, add it to your site, link to it via social bookmarks; extend your online market share.
Social Media - This lovely channel is where you need to invest the time connecting with the people who can someday be brand ambassadors for your cause. Sign up on Twitter and get into the conversation, do a video on 12seconds.tv, create a Facebook group or app, build a Myspace page, signup on StumbleUpon, get in Digg, etc. BUT ... identify if your audience is even on any of these websites. If not, don't waste your time, unless you're going to through the process of educating current members/customers or creating new markets for yourself within each of these networks. Classic ... bulletin boards, chat rooms, forums. This is where it all started.
Advertising - Most startups don't have enough funds to buy beer let alone invest in Paid Search, Media Buys, Sponsored Links or sponsorship placement in newsletters, blogs and other websites. If you do, be smart, build a media plan. I won't get into that process here, but I'm sure there are some great planners on here with access to tools like Comscore, Nielsen and so on.
Blogging - I'll extend this to be not only setting up your own blog, but also commenting on others' blogs. If you want any traction on your blog, you need to get it exposure and the best way is to get out there and add value to other blogs. Take your time, don't just banket random comments around the blogosphere. Quality over quantity. This also provides great PR and some good pull marketing. Develop goals for your blog, measure it like any other tactic. Be authentic, have your own unique voice. I feel good ole transparency goes a long way. If you want to build subscribers, people need to feel like they want to read more and know when to expect you to launch your next post. Not all of us have the time to sit each day and write blog posts like a thesis. So get yourself on a schedule, plan out what you're going to write about, invite some guest bloggers, interview some people via email and post it. A blog is a great way to build brand equity and engagement with your target audience.
So now that you've got some community members or customers, what do you do now?
Build Member and Customer Retention:
Experience - Obviously the first thing is the experience people have with your product. If it's bad you can guarantee that they're leaving and you'll need to pay double to market to them again and win them back. If it's great, well, then they'll probably become an evangelist for you and help you grow your revenue through them. We all know the classes customer relationship model.
Content - If you're focused on advertising revenue, you better have fresh content going up everyday on that website. People crave fresh content to consumer and sometimes can't consume enough. The more content, the more pages, the more impressions for that CPM.
Widgets - Everyone calls these something else, but let's say it includes badges, buttons, Javascript doodads; let your members and customers help you promote by giving them the tools. I believe that Gooruze has a couple of these that you'll find on blogs and websites.
Email - Cultivate those relationships with customers and members by connecting with them each month. Let them know what you're up to, what to expect or even ask them for feedback. If customers are key to you, send them links to white papers and resources that can help them make an easier purchase decision. Monthly newsletters are a great tool. Another great thing that I did was took the time to personally email 5 people a day that signed up as customers or community members. If you want to show people that you wouldn't be there without them, then show them by reaching out.
Feedback - As the CMO of SuggestionBox.com, we prided ourselves on customer feedback and making it easy for companies to capture, manage and respond to feedback. Find a way to give your customers, staff and members a way to provide you with their ideas. It takes the guesswork out of what people want to see next. They'll just tell you.
There are some other things you can do like contests, affiliate marketing, RSS, but the core is above. Please feel free to add to this list your own startup marketing strategies. In a time like this, sharing with each other can only help us succeed and grow past the current economic downturn. Good luck, test, test, measure, measure and smile when it goes as planned.

I have the following problem:
Define $H$ and $R_k$ for $k=1\dots N$, to be $M\times M$ positive definite matrices.
The problem is to find optimal weights $p_k$that solves the following problem
\begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} & \underset{p}{\text{minimize}} & & tr\left(\sum_{k=1}^N p_k^2 H^{-1}R_k\right) \\ & \text{subject to} & & \sum_{k=1}^Np_k = 1, \;\;\; p_k>0 \;\;\;\forall \; k \end{aligned} \end{equation*}
I know that the solution is given by the following
\begin{equation*} p^0_k = \frac{1}{tr\left(H^{-1}R_k\right)} \left( \sum_{l=1}^N\frac{1}{tr\left(H^{-1}R_l\right)}\right)^{-1}. \end{equation*}
It is obvious that $\sum_{k=1}^Np^0_k = 1$ and that $p^0_k>0 \;\;\;\forall \; k$, so the given solution satisfies the constraint. But how to show that it minimizes the trace?

Map of Hunter's Point, 1870s. New York Public Library.
For many in New York City, Chandler, with his distinctive mustache, was the face of both public health and chemistry. Those who questioned his expertise in policy thus also challenged his scientific knowledge. Mounting complaints about New York City's stenches in the 1870s proved a trial for Chandler as both chemist and public servant. New York Times editors claimed that the board's members "secretly removed their [noses] long ago, and have since been unable to perceive any bad smells." In the Ohio Medical Journal a letter writer renamed Chandler's group "Board of Death" and denounced this "negligent, pretending, and worthless Board" because "the most nauseous, foul, stinking, and pestilential odors still permeate the atmosphere of this overtaxed city!"
Since its inception the Board of Health had pursued odor regulation by restricting the locations and practices of such offensive trades as slaughterers. The board pushed slaughterhouses north of 40th Street in 1868 and then banned them altogether from between 40th Street and the core of the city in 1870. (The board acted again in 1885, confining slaughterhouses to a narrow block between the Hudson River and Eleventh Avenue from 39th to 40th Street.) Similarly, the board demanded that "scavengers," the people who emptied cesspools, collected offal, and cleaned stables, do their work at night, use disinfectants, and immediately move offensive material out of "the built-up portions" of the city. The board designed a system of permits that governed both scavengers and the offensive trades and created sanitary inspectors to enforce these regulations. Overall, New York City's Board of Health tried to eliminate odors by banishing their sources to the edges of the city, far from homes and nonindustrial businesses.
Manhattan businesses began to move across the East River to Kings and Queens counties. At Hunter's Point, where urban boosters actively courted new development, and along Newtown Creek, the natural border between the two counties, business owners found their ideal: relatively lax health boards, water access for trade, and proximity to a dense working population. The offensive trades anchored miles of interdependent factories that spewed stench and smoke along the creek's banks. Chemical factories produced sulfuric acid, which oil refineries mixed with petroleum to remove impurities. After agitating the mixture with an air jet, workers drew off "sludge acid," a compound of spent acid and contaminants, and sold this waste to nearby fertilizer manufacturers. Any of the black and foul-smelling stuff that remained unsold was dumped into Newtown Creek, a tidal waterway. At each return of the tides, the sludge acid released more fumes.
Fertilizer manufacturers spread sludge acid over carcasses and left them in the sun to rot. Sludge acid sped decomposition, releasing pungent and irritating fumes, particularly as days grew warmer. Easterly winds carried the distinctive odors of sludge acid and animal putrefaction across the East River to Manhattan. Gas works added to the nasal cocktail. City lights burned natural gas purified by a dry-lime process that produced sulphureted hydrogen and sulfide of ammonium. These gases diffused over a wide distance, infiltrating Manhattan's homes as easterly breezes carried the odors across the river and into the heart of midtown.
The Board of Health's repeated failures to provide olfactory relief to residents and to protect their health led to Chandler's 1878 legal challenge. Board members, now on the defensive, parsed, for all who would listen, the different odors of sludge acid and other smells. As board president and a trained chemist, Chandler led the education effort. In courtrooms, in conversations with the press, and before his professional peers Chandler insisted that "sludge acid" caused the physical discomfort and complaints of the previous summer, not any factory operating within Manhattan and the board's jurisdiction. When subpoenaed, board members appeared with maps and charts to explain how the wind conveyed the distinctive stench of oil refining from distant Brooklyn plants to midtown. Before the Medical Society of the County of New York, Chandler recounted how the Board of Health had banished bad smells from the city and claimed that "having eliminated all other smells, [the board] has uncovered this one [sludge acid]." Playing on his professional credentials, Chandler went on to say that the odor of sludge acid "is one that cannot be mistaken by a chemist."

Matthew Thomas was one of the best signees of this year's Florida State class, and now he wants out of his letter of intent.
Thomas, who was ranked the nation No. 2 linebacker out of Booker T. Washington High in Miami, told the Miami Herald that he informed Florida State coaches he does not plan on being in camp in August because the decision to go to FSU was not his — it was his mother's.
"What happened was on Signing Day [was] I wasn't sure who I wanted to sign with," Thomas told the paper. "I had issues with different schools. But when I told my mom I didn't want to sign with anybody and wait and give it a few days she said I couldn't do that. She said, 'FSU is a good school – pick them. It's close to home.' I wasn't agreeing with it. But I felt like I was being disrespectful to her if I didn't sign. So I made her happy."
Thomas also told the paper he felt pressure because his announcement was live on ESPN.com.
Thomas said if he is released from his letter of intent, he's seeking offers from either Georgia or USC, two schools that courted him during his recruiting period.
But the Florida State coaches aren't giving up on him so easily. They plan to meet with Thomas and his parents in South Florida to understand the situation. According to Warchant.com, Thomas' mother has been out of the country for the past couple weeks, but the meeting will take place when she returns.
Thomas told the Miami Herald his parents support his decision, but that it's up to the Florida State coaches to make the final call.
This is a tricky situation. Thomas signed his letter of intent and should honor his commitment. However, Florida State doesn't want a player in its program that doesn't really want to be there.
It will be interesting to see what Florida State does here because it doesn't want to set a precedent for future recruits.

ERIE, Colo. - The University of Colorado men's golf team rebounded with a solid second round performance in the afternoon after a rather pedestrian opening round effort here Monday as the Buffaloes find themselves tied for fourth place in their own 3rd Annual Mark Simpson-CU Invitational.
The Buffaloes opened with a 2-over 290 team score in the morning, certainly not terrible but it did have them down the line in a tie for seventh, 10 back of the lead. CU came out and posted an 8-under 280 score the second time around, the fourth-lowest afternoon score in jumping into fourth place, yet still nine out of the top spot.
Colorado's new Pac-12 Conference colleague and rival, Oregon State, shot the day's low round (an 11-under 277 for the second 18), and combined with a solid morning showing, lead the 14-team field with a 15-under par 561 score. That's good for a one-shot lead over first round leader UMKC (Missouri-Kansas City), which put rounds of 280 and 282 into the books for a 562 total. Colorado State, winner of the inaugural event in 2010, is in third at 568, with defending champion CU and Kansas tied for fourth at 570.
"We got off to a horrible start the first six-to-eight holes, but after that point, the guys really did a nice job," CU head coach Roy Edwards said. "We didn't play that well at all, but we're still in the hunt, and that's usually the sign of a good team. I was really impressed with the guys' competitiveness and composure all day. They kept to the game plan and put up two scores that were respectable, especially for the second round. That has put us in a position where if we shoot a really good round tomorrow, anything can happen."
CU's five designated scorers were 7-over par through the first six holes and rebounded to play the rest of the day at 9-under, with four players under par for their afternoon rounds.
Senior Derek Fribbs is pacing that quintet, as he recorded a pair of 2-under 70s on the 7,771-yard, par-72 Colorado National Golf Club course. He had a team-best 10 birdies on the day with 26 pars (tied for second-most) and is tied for ninth individually, five strokes back of the lead.
"Derek just played solid," Edwards said. "He's very close to becoming an elite level player and he played very consistent. He, of course, wanted to play and score better, which as a coach you like to see. He is expecting to come out and play his best tomorrow."
Sophomore David Oraee is tied for 15th (73-68-141), as he had seven birdies and 26 pars Monday; senior Beau Schoolcraft is tied for 29th (72-73-145), recording an eagle, two birdies and a team-best 28 pars against two bogeys and two doubles.
Senior Jason Burstyn, a two-time medalist in as many tournaments this fall, and freshman Philip Juel-Berg each posted 75-71-146 scorecards, the 2-over efforts having the pair tied for 37th. Burstyn was steady as usual, with five birdies and 26 pars against seven bogeys on the day; thus far he has just a single double bogey in 126 holes this season. His opening 75 ended a string of five straight rounds under par, which tied a team record first set by two others.
Juel-Berg had six birdies, 24 pars and just four bogeys, but did score two doubles after entering the meet with just one score higher than bogey in 90 holes of play.
Four Buffs are playing as individuals, with the newest Buffalo, junior Johnny Hayes, tied for second in the standings after a 71-67-138 effort. He had two eagles (one in each round), six birdies and 24 pars with just four bogey in his first action as a Buff after transferring to the school last year from Towson (Md.) State, where he played a year-and-a-half before he moved back closer to his home in Maine.
"He's the guy who really did a great job and caught everyone's attention," Edwards said of Hayes. "He hadn't played the course that much and wasn't as familiar with it as the rest of our team or even players on other area teams and came out and really showed us something."
Redshirt freshman Drew Trujillo is tied for 24th (71-72-143), scoring the second-most birdies by a Buff (nine); Edwards was pleased with his performance as, "He had not been playing all that well and came out Monday and really got things going."
Another redshirt frosh, Tyler Engel, really had his struggles in the morning, scoring just 11 pars with five bogeys, a double and a quad for an 11-over 83. What did he accomplish in the afternoon? He tied for the seventh-best stroke improvement from one round to the next in school history, shaking 14 strokes off his score for a 69 as he bounced back with four birdies, 13 pars and a single bogey. His 152 total is tied for 69th.
"Tyler did a nice job, did not let one bad round discourage him and become two; he came back and played a lot better and shot what he's capable of," Edwards said.
Freshman Ross Thornton opened with a 74 (three birdies, three bogeys and a double) but was disqualified in the second round for signing for an incorrect scorecard.
UMKC's Nathan Hughes is the individual leader through two rounds, as he fashioned a 67-68-135 scorecard, good for a one shot lead over five players, including CU's Hayes and the only other player in the field to shoot in the 60s for both Monday rounds, Gonzaga's Sean Walsh (69-69). Just seven shots separate the top 23 players in the field.
The final round is set for Tuesday morning; the top four teams (Oregon State, UMKC, CSU and CU, which won the fourth spot in a tiebreaker over Kansas) will tee off No. 1 beginning at 7:55 a.m. in 10-minute increments; the remainder of the field will all start in shotgun fashion at 8:15.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Kamryn Renfro is a 9-year-old girl who's friend is battling cancer. Renfro decided to shave her head to support her friend but the brave gesture got her in a boatload of trouble. On March 25, MSN News reported that Renfro was banned from her school -- Caprock Academy Charter School -- because her hairstyle broke the school's dress code.
"The school board's chairwoman says the school's the dress code is designed to promote uniformity and a non-distracting environment. She said exceptions can be made under extraordinary circumstances. The board will decide whether they should make an exception," reports MSN News.
Kamryn Renfro was told that she could head back to school but the aforementioned board meeting is set to take place this evening. It's hard to imagine the school not allowing Renfro to continue going to her classes given the situation but the school has to abide by its policy which is why Renfro was kicked out to begin with.
Naturally this story is causing quite a bit of debate on the Internet this week. Most people can't imagine a young girl being barred from school because she shaved her head in honor of her cancer-stricken friend. You can check out the video above for more.
Should Kamryn Renfro be allowed back at school?

Most children have a set of 20 primary teeth. As adults we typically end up with a set of 32 teeth. But one child in Mumbai has more than that combined and then some.
On Thursday, surgeons in Mumbai removed 232 teeth from the mouth of an Indian teenage boy in what they believe may be a world-record operation.
Ashik Gavai, 17, went to a dentist for help when he was having swelling on the right side of his lower jaw. He was sent to the city's JJ Hospital, where doctors discovered the boy was suffering from a condition known as complex odontoma. Odontomas are benign tumors composed of dental tissue. Most of these lesions are asymptomatic. But some can be complex containing different types of dental tissues.
The website Allhealthsite.com says symptoms of odontoma include, difficulty with swallowing; delayed growth in teeth; lump in the gum; a primary tooth that isn't coming out when it should; enlarged bone under the tooth or jaw.
The head of dentistry at JJ Hospital, Sunanda Dhivare-Palwankar tells the AFP, "We operated on Monday and it took us almost seven hours. We thought it may be a simple surgery but once we opened it there were multiple pearl-like teeth inside the jaw bone."
Doctors also found an even larger "marble-like" structure which had to be cut out in fragments it was to big to remove as a whole.
The family was concerned the boy had a cancerous tumor in his jaw. The JJ Hospital team says in the historical research they could only find a case where this conditioned showed at the most 37 teeth being removed during this type of surgery. However, in this case the doctor and her team ended up removing a total of 232 teeth from the boy's mouth.
In the words of the doctor, she says, "I think it could be a world record," she said.
Fortunately, the structure of the boys jawbone was maintained during the operation so it should heal without any deformities.

Intense Bloating
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
For about the past month or so I am experiencing intense bloating every day that starts to come on around mid morning and gets much worse as the day/evening go on. When its at its worse (every evening) I look 6 months pregnant easy. I do have pain with the bloating. I suppose it is pushing on everything in there?
Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas of what I might change or try to decrease the bloating? I eat super healthy and do my best to follow an "endo diet" but no change.
The only thing that has changed for me was that I quit smoking about a month and a half ago. Could that have anything to do with it?
Any help, suggestions etc would really be appreciated!
Thanks so much!

Omg I used to ALWAYS have that problem it was TERRIBLE. Overall, that (mostly) went away after fully recovering from my laparoscopy. I started drinking a lot of green tea at that point and drastically cut down on sodium, which helped control some of the bloating. And I seem to recall that when I switched pills for the third time that this problem went away (I am now on generic "zarah" for yasmin).

Congrats on quitting smoking...I'm not there yet :)
When you say you eat super healthy, what do you mean?
I was getting super bloated, changed my eathing habits, took everything out of my diet that had hormones in it. No GMO's in my meat, eggs, milk, cheese, and the list goes on...!
I Also noticed changes when I started doing a castor oil pack (look it up). I believe this to be one of the best things I have committed to. Not only have I lost 8 pounds, and I'm not a big person, it was all bloat, and I'm feeling so much better.

..dang forgot to tell you...drink water and a lot of it! Estrogen builds up in the liver, so drink a lot of water, helps flush it out, and maybe a B6 vitamin on top of that. :)

Thank you both so much for the advice. I will try the green tea and the castor oil....
I eat a gluten free diet, occasional meat, and lots of veggies. I try to eat organic as much as I can. I do drink lots of water but will occasionally have soda and alcohol.
I've been on loestrin for a few years now. It's always worked pretty well for me..
Thank you again for the info ladies!

Wow congrats on quitting smoking!! I hope to do the same soon =D
I have that problem sometimes too, but when I was taking viamins everyday (B6 like BrehnPetry said, Iron & Calcimum) & drank a ton of water it definatly helped. I have found water is the key to pretty much anything! & I wish I ate as healthy as you, I just have no time to cook like that lol.

Quitting smoking is not at all easy especially when it serves as a little relief from chronic pain (it did for me at least). It was much easier to stick with after the first two weeks passed. Do it when you are ready otherwise it's just torture!
Thank you for the vitamin info. I will start taking those as well. And water, water, water!

The two met in 1990 while attending California State University, Chico, and by 1993, the two, along with bassist Isaac Parsons and drummer Mike Wofchuck, recorded and released its debut album "Back to the Grotto."
Now, after 20 years, six studio albums, a plethora of compilation and live releases and a couple of lineup changes, the band is still taking its San Francisco-based rock music to fans.
The Mother Hips will bring its music to the Newpark Center stage in front of the Swaner EcoCenter on Thursday, July 18, at 6 p.m. Admission is free.
Reflecting back on the past 23 years, Loiacono, who spoke by telephone with The Park Record from his home in Novato, Calif., said he and Bluhm always imagined they would grow old together.
"Once we found each other, not only as friends, but as musical compadres in our early 20s, it was clear to us," Loiacono said . We even pictured ourselves as old guys on the porch still singing and playing."
The band — which now features drummer John Hofer and bassist Scott Thunes — released its new album, "Behind Beyond," the follow-up to 2009's "Pacific Dust," a few days ago.
When the band members went into the studio, they already knew their approach would be different.
"We wanted to bring a little more of what our live experience was like," Loiacono said.
While there has always been at least one song that ranged between five and seven minutes on each of the band's prior albums, "Behind Beyond" is filled with songs that clock in longer than five minutes.
"We wanted to take our time with these arrangements and let them unfold and not feel any pressure about doing that." Loiacono said. "As we were writing the songs, we did stretch some of the songs out because it felt right."
That is the result of the band having total creative control of its music.
"What is beautiful about what we do is that we record our own records and support ourselves on the road," Loiacono said. "Everything we do is creatively, financially and structurally our own. There is no outside pressure on us. We feel it from inside of us to make a record we really want to present."
The Mother Hips still kept "Behind Beyond" at a digestible length, nearly 50 minutes.
"To do this, we didn't include all the songs that we recorded for it," Loiacono said. "We chose 10 that fit nicely together. The other two songs just felt different and we couldn't find where they would fit in the tracklist."
There is a deluxe version of the album that is available on iTunes, which contains the two extra tracks, he said.
"At the end of the month, a double-disc vinyl version of the album will be released," Loiacono said. "It will be set up to feature three tracks per side, which will make it a better sounding record."
The band recruited David Simon-Baker to produce and engineer the album.
Simon-Baker also served as producer and engineer on "Pacific Dust."
"He is a fantastic human being and amazing recording artist," Loiacono said.
Still, being in total control of the band does prove challenging.
"When we were on a major label in the 1990s, we were able to go on tour and not worry about things," Loiacono said. "We didn't have to worry whether or not every show was going to make money, because we were getting tour support from the label.
"When you go on tour on your own, there is much more financial risk, so you have to be a lot smarter about how you spend your money and how you invest it," he said. "It takes a lot of time and effort."
The perks, on the other hand, allow the band to make its own decisions about the songwriting, the recordings, the shows and the production of those shows.
"There are people who love the music and want us to still play for them," Loiacono said. "We're going to continue to play music, record and tour. And we're going to continue to enjoy music as a release and as a way to earn a living and connect with people.
"Live music cannot exist without an audience and there are really incredible moments that can happen in a live setting," he said. "We can't wait to get out to Park City to play."
The Mother Hips will perform at the Newpark Center Stage in front of the Swaner EcoCenter, 1258 Center Dr. at Kimball Junction, on Thursday, July 18, at 6 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.mountaintownmusic.org and www.motherhips.com.

Catherine from Bluenose Life found a small laminate bookshelf that was destined for the dump in her neighborhood. You've probably had one of these Wal-mart cheapies at some point in your life.
Catherine sanded the whole piece down and then primed and painted it white. She jazzed it up by creating a new back from thick cardboard covered with fabric. This is really the icing on the cake for me. The color and pattern are quite loverly!

The Loose Moose Cottage at Great Wolf Lodge
My family recently had the opportunity to check out the Grand Dinner Buffet at the Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, Ohio. Dinner is served from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m.
I was impressed with the selection for the entire family. There was the standard pizza, chicken nuggets, corn dogs and smiley fries for the kids and then plenty for the adults.
The evening we ate there were Alaskan Crab Legs and shrimp with Sauce Cocktail and Fresh Citrus. The Fresh Side of Norwegian Salmon with Tequila Lime Glaze over Rice was outstanding. While we didn't try the Pan Seared Filet of Tilapia and the Prince Edward Isle Mussels, they were flying off the buffet.
My daughter and her friend (tweens by the way) liked the Pan Seared Breast of Chicken with Tuscan Vegetables with Balsamic Glaze and the Braised Barbeque Ribs with House Made Spicy Barbecue Sauce. Also offered was Filets of Sirloin and Chef Carved Garlic and Bourbon Eye of Round.
The Fresh from the Garden section featured Asparagus, Summertime Vegetables, Ceasar, House an Tomato Cucumber Salad.
The buffet did not neglect the sides as there were mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and plenty of vegetables. Last but certainly not least, let's not forget dessert. There is a Vanilla and Chocolate Soft Serve Ice Cream Sundae Bar and Assorted Cakes, Pies and Cookies.
Adults (13 and older) are $17.99 and Children 4-12 are $4.99 with drinks included. 3 years and under are free with drinks included as well.
The quality and quantity of food was superb as well as the selection. You don't need to be a guest at the Great Wolf Lodge to eat at their restaurants. If you dine late enough, you might even want to stay for story time in the lobby.

I posted yesterday about the Economist's charticle showing that Dallas falls closer to the liberal vs. the conservative side of the political spectrum, as do most of the big cities in the United States. This was not surprising, given that Dallas County has gone Democratic in recent election cycles.
But that got me curious about FrontBurner Nation, since our audience isn't strictly confined to the Dallas city limits or even the county lines. Two other North Texas cities — Fort Worth and Arlington — charted on the conservative end of the scale, after all. So where do you fall?

This sewing project from Tonia at The Gunny Sack shows that we shouldn't be too quick to write off a piece of rarely worn clothing. Take this button-down cardigan that Tonia's daughter never wore.
Tonia knew the cardigan needed a little something something to bring it back to life… a little something something like RUFFLES! Tonia simply removed the buttons and sewed on a few rows of ruffles from some cream fabric she already had on hand. So next time you are about to toss a piece of clothing to the Goodwill pile consider how you could easily revamp it. A simple ruffle, pleat, or button could make all the difference!
Check it out at The Gunny Sack.
