UMass Falls To #19 JMU, 34-17, In FCS Finale
Nov. 19, 2011
Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
AMHERST, Mass. - Dae'Quan Smith rushed for a career-high 251 yards as No. 19 James Madison ground out a 34-17 win over UMass in the final FCS football game in McGuirk Stadium. Perry McIntyre and Darren Thellen led the Minutemen setting career highs in tackles with 17 and 14, respectively. The loss ends UMass' 2011 season with a 5-6 record overall.
Smith's performance on the ground was the second most for a single game in James Madison school history. The last time the Minutemen gave up a 200+ individual rushing performance was also against JMU in 2008.
Kellen Pagel was 20-of-36 for 236 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, while Jonathan Hernandez rushed for 50 yards on 20 carries. Julian Talley pulled down six catches for 57 yards.
JMU (7-4, 5-3 CAA) got on the scoreboard early with a one-yard rush from Jordan Anderson. On the ensuing UMass possession, Mike Allen picked off a Pagel pass and returned it 44 yards for the score, putting the Dukes up 14-0 with 8:46 remaining in the first.
UMass (5-6) was able to get on the board as Ryan Carter picked up a JMU fumble after a punt his a Dukes returner on the heel. The Minutemen were able to convert on a 20 yard field goal by Brandon Yelovich.
JMU was able to stretch their lead when they converted on a 25 yard field goal by Cameron Stark, and then Scott's first of two rushing touchdowns giving the Dukes a 24-3 advantage going into half.
The Minutemen got on the board first coming out of the half, as Alan Williams scored his first career rushing touchdown. He finished the day with six rushes for 20 yards.
Following the kickoff, Scott took the ball 76 yards from the line-of-scrimmage all the way to the endzone putting JMU up, 31-10.
JMU went on to score the game's final points on a field goal following a nine-yard touchdown pass from Pagel to Rob Blanchflower.
The Minutemen closed out their 46th year at McGuirk Stadium with a record of 172-79-2. They will now call Gillette Stadium their home as they enter the 2012 season as a member of the FBS Mid-American Conference.

Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal regained the men's world downhill title here Saturday to win his eighth world championship medal and second in Schladming after a super-G bronze.
The 2007 downhill world champion and Olympic silver-medallist dominated the race with a masterful run that saw him cross the finish line in a time of 2min 01.32sec.
Italy's Dominik Paris was second at 0.46sec, with France's David Poisson third at 0.97sec.
For the Austrian contingent, briefly buoyed by Nicole Hosp's super-combined bronze on Friday, it was another day of disappointment, after the men's and women's super-G fiascos earlier in the week.
Local boy Klaus Kroell, last season's downhill World Cup winner, finished just off the podium, handing Austria yet another fourth place.
The ski-mad nation's last downhill world title goes back to 2003.
Svindal, who now adds a fifth world champion title to his trophy collection, was ecstatic in the finish area.
"I knew I couldn't do it better," said the 30-year-old.
"It's better to really go all out and make a few tiny mistakes than be perfect. I took a lot of risks, didn't make any big mistakes and thank goodness, I made it into the finish."
"I tried to keep up and I'm glad I could," downhill World Cup leader Paris, 23, added.
"Incredible, I didn't think I'd make it. "
The 3,334m-long (two-mile) icy and twisting course, which saw the skiers hurtling down at speeds approaching 110 kilometres per hour, left many casualties in its wake, including many of the favourites for gold.
Reigning downhill champion Erik Guay of Canada was well placed to defend his title with the fastest time in the first sections when he made a costly mistake. Unable to get back into his stride, he failed to finish the race.
Austria's other big hope Hannes Reichelt, who had been fastest in the first downhill training run and was fighting for a medal after just missing out on a podium in the super-G on Wednesday, missed a gate after a bad landing from a jump and also went out.
Italy's Christof Innerhofer, defending his bronze medal from Garmisch, finished two seconds behind Svindal.
Less steep than the classic runs of Wengen, Kitzbuehel, Bormio or Val d'Isere, the Planai course featured perilous traverses and rolls that prompted impressive jumps through the air.
A tricky last bend also saw numerous skiers go far off their line and lose precious time as they struggled to make the last gate before the finish line.
Started under clear conditions, visibility increasingly worsened as fog descended on parts of the course and amid light snowfall.
"I can't see anything!" Slovenia's Andrej Sporn, with start number six, shouted as he arrived in the finish area, despite temporarily taking the lead.
The blue riband race of the world championships, the downhill played out in front of a packed arena, filled with thousands of colourfully-dressed fans, waving an abundance of Austrian flags and blowing the nation's answer to the vuvuzela, the truck air-horn.
Among the onlookers were Hollywood actor Kevin Costner, who was due to give a free open-air concert in the evening with his band "Modern West."

"Dennis The Menace"
Soundtrack Review
Music By Jerry Goldsmith
La-La Land Records
31 Tracks/Disc Time: 77:58
Grade: B-
Fresh off the success of the "Home Alone" films, Writer/Director/Producer John Hughes was the one who was tapped to bring one of the comic strips most memorable cartoons in "Dennis The Menace" which was created in 1951 by Hank Ketchum. For this modern (well for 1993) version of the character, 12 year-old Mason Gamble was chosen to play the famous character and backed up with solid cast that includes Oscar Winner Walter Matthau ("The Fortune Cookie", "The Odd Couple") as the mean and misunderstood Mr. Wilson who is the constant subject of torment by the young boy, along with Lea Thompson ("Back To The Future Trilogy") as Dennis' Mom and Christopher Lloyd as the nasty sinister thief, Switchblade Sam. The film revolves around the antics of young Dennis Mitchell and his next door neighbor, Mr. Wilson as Dennis' mom goes back to work and is left in the care of Mr. Wilson and his wife (Joan Plowright, "I Love You To Death") while the dirty thief Switchblade Sam is running around the peaceful neighborhood stealing everything from apples to toys. He soon meets his match when he crosses paths with Dennis which involves a can of Beans and other assorted comical moments. The film was directed by Nick Castle, who wrote and directed the criminally underrated and overlooked 1986 fantasy, "The Boy Who Could Fly" and was a surprise hit at the box office that summer.
What made the film very successful was the masterful musical presence of the late Jerry Goldsmith, who at the time was about to go through a very busy renassiance period that would culminate in about six other films including this one in 1993 alone that would also include "Matinee", "Malice", Six Degrees Of Separation", "Rudy", "The Vanishing", and "Love Field" and would achieve great success for the rest of the decade with memorable scores such as "First Knight", "The Shadow", "Executive Decision", "The Ghost And The Darkness", "Air Force One", "The Edge", "L.A. Confidential", "Mulan", "The Mummy" and "The 13th Warrior" to name a few. Goldsmith was a great musical talent that is sorely missed today due to his wonderful scores and the fact, that he left behind a great legacy that has withstood the test of time so far.
His score for this film, is a fun little endevor that works because Goldsmith really touches upon the sentimentality of the character and his youthful exuberance ("Our Town") with an Americana feel thanks to Tommy Morgan's flawless harmonica solos and Jim Self's tuba solos which backup the comidic moments of the score throughout. The Main Title is a hard charging theme that isn't all that dissimilar to that of his wonderful score to Michael Crichton's "The Great Train Robbery which is a good musical template for a film that requires this type of energy. Writing some fun material for Dennis' misadventures around the quiet neighborhood with stand out tracks such as "Hide And Seek", "Spilled Paint", "Babysitting", "Bed Time" and "The Shaggy Dog Story" while also keeping the relationship between Dennis and Mr. Wilson in playful, (yet frustrating and painful) regard with tracks such as "A Funny Taste", "Take An Asprin", "The Dentures/The Purse", "A Mistake", "Remembering Dennis" and "The Search", which features some wonderful dramatic writing that he was known for with clever touches of whimsy. Goldsmith also wrote a sinister theme for Switchblade Sam that features a bevy of electronics and flute solos with aggressive strings that appear in the tracks "Dollnapped", "The Shower/Broken Flowers", "The Heist" and "Tied Up" that really add a bit of creepiness to the proceedings as sort of a boogeyman like character. While "Beans" easily the stand out track that displays his theme in a more frenetic and exhilarating way. The film's fine finale features Goldsmith bringing closure to the score with solid reprises in the highlights of "He's Back", "Forgetful Sam" and "Toasted Marshmellows" the final track sums up the score with exciting gusto and the very same energy that Goldsmith was known for in every project he undertook.
La-La Land's expanded release of this score presents an additional thirty-plus minutes that were previously not on the original Big Screen Records release during the films' release and that was a pretty darn good album featuring the best of everything that the score had to offer, except this one ups the ante a little bit more featuring even more material that shouldn't have been left off the original disc, but was mainly due to reuse fees at the time which were a little costly. This release will please fans of the original score and enjoy the new wealth of material that was previously missing along with a few of the album versions that Goldsmith himself arranged for it. It was also very rare up until this point that Goldsmith would even undertake a comedy film, but is easily one of the best children's score he's had written without question. Essentially, he was the straight man for Dennis' on screen antics and let the action on screen fend for themselves which ended up in a positive result. "Dennis The Menace" isn't the quintessential Goldsmith score unlike the memorable ones he had written like "Patton" or "Rambo" for example, but it is a very effective one and he really was in fine form with this one which makes it more and more fun to rediscover it the more you listen to it. Very positive thumbs up.

Want to be happy? You probably should stay out of politics and stay out of Washington
Pursuit of power and happiness don't mix
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Americans have a special obsession with happiness. It is written into our founding document: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The pursuit of happiness is no easy thing and presents many a paradox. One of them is the relationship between happiness and ambition or accomplishment.
We know from both the religious wisdom of the ages and modern research that people who pursue "intrinsic" values – love, relationships, community, learning, creativity – will be happier on the whole than people who pursue "extrinsic" values – fame, power, wealth, recognition.
Yet we need and want these people because they make life interesting and they are creators, entertainers and artists.
I am prompted to ponder the political fallout from this paradox by an essay that has been among the "most read" pieces on The New York Times web site for several days running, "Love People, Not Pleasure" by Arthur Brooks.
Brooks runs a conservative Washington think tank, the American Enterprise Institute. He also studies human happiness from the perspective of an economist and wrote a book called "Gross National Happiness: Why Happiness Matters for America -- and How We Can Get More."
The study of happiness has been a boom industry in America for the past two or three decades. The fancy name for it is positive psychology, the study of what makes us featherless bipeds flourish rather than what makes us ill.
Brooks' piece went over some of that research to make the point that the pursuit of pleasure as conventionally understood (wealth, fame and sexual variety) is actually antithetical to the pursuit of enduring happiness.
He writes:
"Consider fame. In 2009, researchers from the University of Rochester conducted a study tracking the success of 147 recent graduates in reaching their stated goals after graduation. Some had 'intrinsic' goals, such as deep, enduring relationships. Others had 'extrinsic' goals, such as achieving reputation or fame. The scholars found that intrinsic goals were associated with happier lives. But the people who pursued extrinsic goals experienced more negative emotions, such as shame and fear. They even suffered more physical maladies.
"This is one of the cruelest ironies in life. I work in Washington, right in the middle of intensely public political battles. Bar none, the unhappiest people I have ever met are those most dedicated to their own self-aggrandizement — the pundits, the TV loudmouths, the media know-it-alls. They build themselves up and promote their images, but feel awful most of the time."
Despite the painful fact that I appear to be in the class of "the pundits, the TV loudmouths, the media know-it-alls," I agree with Brooks.
Indeed, I would expand his assessment in two ways. I would include a lot of people who are trying to do good in Washington -- politicians, crusaders, policy experts, lawyers and so forth -- to his list of the unhappy.
And I would say that my experience is that most people outside of Washington think most of the people inside of Washington are jerks and share Brooks assessment.
Washington, D.C., indeed may be the unhappiness capital of America.
But if that is true, it isn't the fault of Washington or its power-hungry inhabitants. The problem is with happiness. Or how we think about it.
As I said, the idea that the keys to happiness are life's intrinsic values, not the extrinsic values of gold and flesh is ancient and at the core of every religion. Positive psychology has proved the point with brain scans and empirical studies.
But people are tricky and we have complicated motives. Some of us Washington loudmouths and crusaders pursue ambitious goals for simultaneously idealistic and ignoble reasons.
More important, society benefits from driven people, no matter what their motives. We expect novelists, poets and philosophers to be crazy and driven. And we love them for it. Why shouldn't the same be true of power mongers?
In fact the collision between ambition and happiness is often tragic. Among the first to understand this was none other than Machiavelli.
The author of "The Prince" is often considered to be the first truly modern political philosopher. Until Machiavelli, all philosophy was religious in the sense that it believed the world had logic, was orderly and harmonious.
Machiavelli didn't believe that for a second. The moral consequences of that were stark.
Machiavelli believed the virtues of a public person, the prince, inevitably collided with the virtues of a private person. The prince was doomed to sin and there was no glossing over that tragic conflict.But without princes, republics don't survive.
So are the workaday, wool suit clad princes and princesses of Washington doomed to the ash heap of unhappiness?
But there is something deeper that humans pursue. The positive psychologists, as I understand the field today, have come to see happiness as too thin a metric of life. Now they talk more about satisfaction.
Many people, for at least times in their lives, pursue goals or values that are important but that don't necessarily lead to happiness or rewards.
Effort itself, the pursuit of higher things, is a satisfaction different from happiness. Perhaps it's more enduring.
Martin Seligman is one of the leaders of positive psychology movement. In his book "Authentic Happiness" he wrote:
"When an entire lifetime is taken up in the pursuit of the positive emotion, however, authenticity and meaning are nowhere to be found. The right question is the one Aristotle posed two thousand five hundred years ago: 'What is the good life?'"
The uniquely American pursuit of happiness is very different than the pursuit of the good life. And it is hard to square anything having to do with Washington with the good life.
Maybe it is a comfort to those outside of the Beltway that those of us inside it are probably not as happy as you. But a lot of us are trying.
So, next time you have a chance, be kind to your local senator. Or loudmouth.
DecodeDC's foremost aim is to be useful. That means being a reliable, honest and highly entertaining source of insight and explanation. It also means providing multimedia coverage of Washington's people, culture, policies and politics that is enlightening and enjoyable. Whether it's a podcast, a video, an interactive graphic, a short story or a long analysis, it will be based on this guiding principle: We are in DC but not OF DC.

Looking for some recovery supplements to take the edge off of your post-workout soreness?
Consider this special combination . . .
ZMA® combines zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 to give your body the nutrition it needs to rebuild and recover after you've pushed it hard.*
It's easy to come up short on the minerals zinc and magnesium. Research indicates as many as 25% of American adults are low on zinc and 57% are low on magnesium. If you push your body hard, without a plan for replenishing these minerals, you may be putting yourself in the deficiency group.
However, not just any zinc and magnesium supplements will do. The beauty of ZMA® is that it combines zinc (as zinc L-methionine and zinc aspartate), magnesium aspartate and vitamin B6 in a careful ratio designed for results.
A developing body of research suggests ZMA® may help in recovery from exercise and the regulation of cellular growth and tissue repair, as well as the maintenance of a healthy immune system.* However, the research on this is still inconclusive.
What we do know is this: these minerals – so critical for healthy nerve and muscle function - are depleted during heavy exercise.*
NOW Sports' ZMA® supplements give you this special combination along with our absolute commitment to quality. You can try it on its own. Or look for it in one of our other formulations.

STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford won a pair of Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference events last weekend at the San Diego Yacht Club. The Cardinal took home the PCCSC team race and coed trophies. Even more, the Cardinal was third behind Boston College and Yale at the Jan Friis/Lynne Marchiando Team Race hosted by MIT in Boston.
"I'm very proud of the team as we had another solid weekend on both coasts," Stanford head coach John Vandemoer said. "The convincing wins at both conference championships was a real testament to the whole team's hard work. Sailing to a third-place finish in Boston against New England's best with our younger players shows that our depth, our future and our present are all very good.
"We have much more to sail for and we have more work to do before we reach our peak performance, but for this time of year, we are on track."
Stanford went undefeated at the PCCSC team race to advance to the ICSA Team Race Nationals which will be held late next month in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Cardinal went 10-0 behind the efforts of Kevin Laube, Carolyn Ortel, Mateo Vargas, Tally Buckstaff, Oliver Toole and Haley Kirk.
Hawaii (7-3) was second among the eight-team field vying for the Ford Trophy.
Stanford blew by the 12-team field in the coed championship with 41 points, far beyond second-place UC Santa Barbara (102). The Cardinal was first in both the A-Division (24) and B-Division (17). Kevin Laube, Mateo Vargas and Tally Buckstaff competed in the coed racing.
By claiming the Healy Trophy, Stanford qualified for the ICSA semifinals hosted by Old Dominion from April 27-28.
Yale (13-4) won the Jan Friis/Lynne Marchiando Team Race as Stanford went 10-7 for third. The Cardinal was represented by Kieran Chung-Wolf, Hans Henken, Antoine Screve, Yuri Namikawa, Rebecca King and Samantha Steele.

Jenelle Evans' mom has done a lot for her.
After she failed to step up to the plate and raise her first son, Jace Vahn Evans, Barbara stepped in, taking over custody and raising him as her own. Even now, four years later, Barbara is still responsible for Jace and has custody of the child.
Unfortunately, Jenelle hasn't done a great job in showing her appreciate to Barbara and her boyfriend, Nathan Griffith, the father of her second son, has been downright rude.
In addition to feuding with Barbara on "Teen Mom 2" and blaming her for Jenelle's addiction to heroin, Griffith has spoken out in a new interview, claiming that Barbara isn't a great mom to Jace -- and that she hasn't grown up herself.
"We definitely have our differences. I want custody of Jace. He listens to me, and I'm a good role model for him. She just yells at him," Griffith alleged to OK! Magazine, according to a July 18 report by Starcasm.
In the interview, Griffith said that he was hoping to get custody of Jace in order to provide him with a "more structured and understanding home."
"When he's with Barbara, it gives me an unsettled feeling in my stomach," Griffith claimed. "I love her and I respect her, but she hasn't grown up yet — and I don't like that."
Meanwhile, Griffith's daughter, Emery, 2, is all but missing in action. Although Griffith has been seen and photographed with her a handful of times, rumor has it that he only requested to see her once a month -- and he rarely sees her that much.


text: Thought I'd take my time to introduce myself properly. Hi everybody, I'm Jimmarn(Jim), and I'm an artist. At least that's what I like to think. As of now I'm a Main spriter and designer on Terraria. Which is great. It is really fun working as a pixel artist, and coming up with these new ideas. Some of you might wonder what Terraria related work I'm doing, and to be honest I do something in every category containing graphics/design. Everything from Tilesets, weapons, items, props, npc's to player graphics. I am currently a student in Oslo - Norway, studying 3D Graphics, basically modeling, texturing, rendering and animation. So with working on the game, and doing my school assignments to maintain good grades, has proven to be a challenge. But with only one year left with school, I think I'll manage, before I can focus completely on game development. For those of you who are interested can see my DeviantArt account here: jimmarn.deviantart.com/ and visit my Twitter here: http://twitter.com/Jimmarn I haven't been very good at updating my DeviantArt account earlier, but I'll try to be better at that from now on. I can promise you, one more time, that this update really is going to be big. And of course I won't be introducing myself without showing any of my work in a matter of a spoiler: PS: Note that the Ice Chest, campfire and the Ice wings are Aarons sprites

The first ever Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit ended on Friday. I spent today de-compressing and summing up the highlights and accomplishments in a news release that will go out tomorrow. By my estimation (and most I've talked to), the LF Collaboration Summit was a great success.
Here's the formula I used to make this determination:
The right people + collaborating on the right projects +having a great time = success.
So I think you can all imagine that I don't have much time for blogging, given the time requirements that organizing the LF Summit require. But I just wanted to say that so far this inagural meeting has been AMAZING.
I've been working with open source companies for about six years now, and very closely with Linux for the past four, and I have never see such a diverse and accomplished group of people gathered together. At the summit, we have (in the words of one very well known journalist I won't name)
Last week Businessweek published an editorial we wrote responding to the Fortune article containing Microsoft's patent threats. The reaction has been overwhelming. Some of the best articles below:
Charlie Babcock's take on InfoWeek
Dana Blakenhorn says we're letting it fly on his blog on ZDNET.
It's been a hard week. First Bill Hilf, open source program manager at Microsoft (talk about a tough job), tells the world that "Linux doesn't exist in 2007″ and that Linus has a job. (For the Linux Foundation no less. Can't believe we didn't keep that a secret.)
Monday morning started out well — a continuation of the sunny day we had Sunday, a few hours to concentrate on my actual work — until the phone rang. Microsoft had unleashed a FUD storm with more vague patent threats. While a few articles have been published with Linux Foundation statements, I wanted to elaborate on our public comments so far.
We have newly confirmed speakers and many great participants for the first ever LF Summit in June.
Confirmed speakers:
I'm very pleased to announce a new initiative here at the Linux Foundation: the LF Community Travel Fund
Noted standards attorney (and LF board member) Andy Updegrove has a very insightful and funny post on the recent Microsoft patent FUD.
Our member and distribution partner Xandros is the first to use our new distribution test kit as part of their certification to the LSB. You can read the release here.
I am personally very excited about a new initiative we have started at the Linux Foundation. The first ever Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit will take place from June 13 through 15 at the Googleplex in the Bay Area. This unique, invitation-only event will bring together the brightest minds in the Linux ecosystem to discuss where Linux is, where it needs to go and how we can all help get it there. We're combining LF workgroup meetings, LSB face-to-face meetings, and the advisory councils (user, vendor, developer) to create one uber-conference.

"SAVING MR. BANKS" from Disney Studios Motion Pictures opens Fri., Dec. 20, 2013.
STARRING: Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Colin Farrell, Paul Giamatti and Jason Schwartzman.
DIRECTOR: John Lee Hancock ("The Blind Side").
Synopsis: The extraordinary untold story of how Disney's musical classic "Mary Poppins" made it to the big screen and the tempestuous relationship Walt Disney (Hanks) had with author P.L. Travers (Thompson) that almost derailed the production from ever happening.
Two words have become synonymous with the name Tom Hanks--Oscar buzz. Whether the movie he's in is any good or not matters little. If he's in it it's Oscar buzz for this, Oscar buzz for that--buzz, buzz, buzz. This one happens to be quite good and his version of the head Mouseketeer is excellent. I certainly doesn't hurt that his antagonist is the ultra-talented Emma Thompson.
Mr. Banks is the patriarch in Ms. Travers' story, based on her own father. Disney had to work very hard to negotiate for the rights to her books. Ms. Travers lived a very difficult childhood and had poured her heart and soul into her story. Disney wanted very much to put that story on film and learned much about himself in the process.
Even if Hanks doesn't win an Oscar for this performance, Thompson should. If ever any actress devotes so much of herself to a role, Thompson is better at it. This film is well worth the time and money it takes to see it.

For the sake of lamely advertising my contest, I would like to ask you. Would you be interested in joining my "Create Your Own To-Do List" Contest? :>
The theme is free reign, so you can add butterflies, smoking, lots of animals, anything as long as you yourself would enjoy writing "Remember to buy milk form the grocery store" on it. How's about it?
The deadline is August 15, 2011, so you have some time to think about it. If you are too busy, that is perfectly understandable as well!

It occurred to me that we hadn't played our Fill in the Blank reindeer games in a while, and today, the perfect opportunity happened to present itself by way of the Oscar de la Renta Embellished Canvas Slippers. Despite the name (and the shape), these shoes aren't meant for padding around the house; instead, they're like a very fancy flat mule, meant for wear during any casual mule activities you might encounter. Except…what is a casual mule activity? I haven't the faintest.
Net-a-Porter seems a little confused about these shoes as well. Normally, NAP styles everything it sells with some kind of fancy outfit to show how it would ideally be worn, but these shoes simply got paired with a chambray button-down and a straight yellow skirt. I find it almost comforting that even the pros at such a prestigious fashion retailer seemed a little stumped. Oscar de la Renta makes clothes, shoes and accessories for an extremely rarified customer, though, and perhaps us plebes just don't know what's going on here because we don't need to know.
Still, I feel as lost as I would when staring at a formal place setting with four spoons. Fancy flat mules, how do they work? And where does one wear them? Explain your theories in the comments or pick up a pair of your own for $545 via Net-a-Porter.

The Wildcats were highlighted by two place-winners. Billy Benz, from Gardner, Kan., finished seventh in the 125-pound weight class and became the sixth Baker wrestler to qualify for the national championships this season. Freshman Nathan Sommer, from Parker, Kan., joined Benz as a national qualifier by making it to the 7th-8th-place match before defaulting to eighth place in the 157-pound weight class because of injury.
With the two placers this weekend, Baker University has qualified seven wrestlers for the NAIA national championships in their first two weeks of competition. The NAIA allows each team to bring 12 wrestlers to the national championships.
The Wildcat wrestlers will not get much rest before their meet Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Collins Center, hosting another first-year program, Concordia University from Seward, Neb. This is a rare event with two first-year programs competing against each other in a dual meet.

Alaska e-Post online
FOIA | Privacy & Security Notice | External Link Disclaimer | Webmaster
Winter in Alaska can be harsh on your skin, creating unique challenges and possibly serious dry skin problems.
No matter what your skin type, you can still experience dry skin during extremely cold temperatures and when environmental humidity is low. Dry skin can occur at any age in people with or without a history of skin problems.
Most people are familiar with what dry skin looks like, as the normal, fine lines in the skin become more visible and the skin may feel rough.
Dry skin can occur anywhere on the body, but is most commonly found on the arms and legs. Itching occurs because of very dry skin, which can be severe enough to affect sleep and daily activities.
Repeated rubbing and scratching of the affected area can produce thickened, rough skin. In addition to itching, dry skin can crack, causing painful splits in the skin – especially on the hands and feet. Dry skin can become inflamed or red because of extreme dryness. Round, scaly, itchy, red patches, known as eczema, may also develop.
Treatment of dry skin may involve a trip to your health care provider for advice, and it is important to identify what is contributing to dry skin to improve the outcome.
Bathing frequently with hot, soapy water uses up the natural skin oils, thereby removing the normal, protective oils on the skin. A generous application of moisturizer following a bath or shower should be applied while the skin is partially dry. This will help seal water in the skin before it has a chance to evaporate.
Try to limit a shower or bath to no more than 10 minutes during a 24-hour period and remember to use warm rather than hot water. Also, consider using a mild soap for dry skin types.
Additional tips for winter skin care include:
Making small changes can have a large impact on the quality of your skin during the harsh winter months. Utilizing these simple skin care tips can help your skin survive exposure to the damaging, cold temperatures and low humidity levels we experience in Alaska. Taking care of your skin involves a daily commitment, but the results will be well worth the effort.
• Increase the humidity level in your home or work place by using a portable humidifier.
• When shaving, use shaving cream, change blades often and shave in the direction of hair growth.
• Use sunscreen – even on cloudy days.
• Soothe chapped lips with lip balm.

Whither Raleigh?
Published: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 11:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 11:41 a.m.
The recent spate of articles detailing Raleigh's tinkering with health care, fiddling with solar energy, meddling with cities, toying with education and just plain horsing around with the citizenry in general brings to mind the observation of Judge Gideon Tucker (and maybe Mark Twain and Daniel Webster) who in 1866 observed that "No man's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session."

Books from Flagship
The QuickBooks Farm Accounting Cookbook™ (ISBN
0-9673083-0-5), by Mark Wilsdorf, is a step-by-step guide and quick
reference to setting up and using the QuickBooks and QuickBooks Pro
accounting programs in agriculture.
The first 92 pages are devoted to the basics of setting up and
getting started with QuickBooks in a farm business, including
ideas and approaches for setting up the Chart of Accounts and
enterprise Classes, details about QuickBooks' EasyStep interview,
discussions highlighting QuickBooks features most farm businesses
should use and features most farm businesses should avoid!
Here are some of the Cookbook's topics specifically for
QuickBooks newcomers:
Pages 93 - 360 are devoted mostly to farm business transaction
examples and explanations. This section reveals the reason for
the books "Cookbook" name: it is loaded with a
detailed, step-by-step "recipes" for entering farm
business transactions. Topics include everything from basic income
and expense entries, to details on handling farm-specific types of
transactions--like how to deduct commissions and hauling from a milk
check or livestock sale receipts, how to work with grain and
livestock inventories in the QuickBooks inventory system, how to get
reports with quantity information like average price received per
bushel, and more. Here are some of the Cookbook's topics:
Most topics occupy just a few pages and include plenty of
QuickBooks screen shots, examples, and step-by-step procedures. More
important, the Cookbook's topics are
"compartmentalized" to make it a handy quick reference:
each example is a self-contained description of what you need to
know about entering a certain type of transaction, without
the need to read several chapters for background information first.
If your goal is to set up farm loan accounts or to enter a grain
sale or milk check, for example, you only need to read the short
section devoted to that topic.
Though written for farmers and ranchers, the Cookbook also
appeals to other audiences. Accountants working with farmers
and ranchers who use QuickBooks find the Cookbook a valuable
reference for helping their clients with QuickBooks setup and
operation. The same is true of other professionals such as Extension
agents and agricultural lenders.
Teachers in vocational agriculture and community education
programs find the Cookbook useful in the classroom as a
source of examples and ideas. Some QuickBooks trainers are
even using it as a student text in QuickBooks-based farm accounting
The Cookbook is meant for beginning- to
intermediate-level QuickBooks users. However, advanced users
also find it valuable as a reference.
Beginners usually suffer from information overload: there
are so many features in QuickBooks, it's hard to know which ones to
use! This book helps smooth out the "bumps in the road" to
getting started by recommending QuickBooks features most farm
businesses should use, and features most farm businesses should
avoid! It shows how to set up QuickBooks for a farm or ranch,
including tips on the EasyStep Interview and how to set up the Chart
of Accounts, Classes, Items, and other QuickBooks lists.
There are also tips and ideas on managing bill payments, keeping
records current even during busy seasons of the year, printing
checks and deposit slips, and bookkeeping habits that will make
using QuickBooks more effective and enjoyable.
Intermediate users will appreciate the quick-reference
design of the Cookbook: short to-the-point topics are indexed
by commodity, problem type, and example. Need to know how to deduct
expenses from a cash sale? Don't remember how to enter a transaction
you only use once a year? A quick check will give you the
answer--without reading more than a few pages!
Advanced users will appreciate the special sections and
"sidebar" discussions of advanced techniques and
QuickBooks operating details, that show how to go beyond the basics
to accomplish specific record keeping goals.
Mark Wilsdorf has worked with agricultural
software and accounting since 1981, as editor of AgriComp
Magazine, as a farm accounting columnist for Doane's Agricultural
Computing newsletter, as a developer of software and training
materials for the Extension Service with the University of Missouri,
and currently as president of Flagship Technologies, Inc. where he
remains involved with agricultural software development and

PHOENIX - As I was led into the room to meet a victim of child prostitution, I was surprised to find not a hardened street kid, but a bashful and polite 14-year-old girl.
She is a minor, and a sexual assault victim, so we agreed not to reveal her identity or use her real name. Instead she asked us to call her "Lupita."
Her story reveals the trickery used by sex traffickers to lure children into sex acts with strangers.
RELATED: Valley police arrest 150 'johns' during operation focused on sex trade
"It's sad how these kids are manipulated into this life and it's not just a child that's homeless. Prostitution is no longer on the streets, it's everywhere; in our schools, shopping malls and neighborhoods," said Lea Benson, President and CEO of Street Light USA in Glendale.
Street Light USA rescues children from the life of sex trafficking,
It was through the court system that Lupita came to them.
Not knowing what to expect, she began to tell me her story.
"I was getting bullied, [they were] saying I was ugly."
And Lupita believed it. Even though she is a pretty teenager, that wasn't what she saw in the mirror.
Her low self-esteem made her a perfect target for a charming pimp.
"He would say beautiful things to me and I would like that, so I didn't want that to end," explains Lupita.
Victim advocates tell ABC15 there are two major types of pimps.
The "Gorilla" pimp will strong arm and beat his victims into prostitution, while the "Romeo" pimp swoons his victims by convincing them they are loved so much, they'll do anything for him.
Lupita was lured by a 20-year-old "Romeo," who pretended to care for her and dated her for a month. Once she was in love with him, Romeo made his move.
"He would say, 'Oh here's a friend of mine, he wants to take you with him.' I would say, 'but I don't know him.' And he would say, 'If you love me you would go.' I actually loved him so I went," said Lupita.
She explains that she is a bit slow, but I saw just a naive child, like any other when it comes to affairs of the heart.
Lupita wasn't sold on the streets. As Benson explained, the teenager was sold within the walls of the apartment complex where she lived.
She knew her new boyfriend was too old for her, but he made her feel loved.
Her parents were clueless as to what was happening to their daughter just feet from their home.
Each time her pimp shared her, Lupita felt violated beyond belief.
"Since the first time I went with the guy, it felt like rape," Lupita admitted.
Pretty soon the "johns" were stacking up. At first, Lupita didn't want to say how many, but then revealed the truth.
"It would be three guys a day. If I would say no, they would tell the 20-year-old and he would be slapping me."
Lupita's pimp was going from Romeo to Gorilla, but the young and naive teen still thought it was love.
She soon started realizing what was happening.
"Once I saw him getting money and I'm like, 'What's that money for,' and he said 'nothing - go inside.'" This was the first time Lupita witnessed money changing hands.
Being only 13, Lupita wasn't familiar with prostitution.
As she struggled to understand what was happening, she didn't think she was being sold, "I thought of it more as lending and borrowing."
It was on a trip to the dollar store with friends that Lupita saw a street walker, and realized she too was a prostitute.
"She was dancing on the pole and they were like 'Look at that prostitute,' and that's when I knew that he was selling me."
Lupita eventually ran away from home. Her mother reported her missing.
After police found her, she was taken to a mental hospital where she treated for nightmares and flashbacks from being repeatedly raped.
Benson tells us, many child prostitutes will develop post-traumatic stress syndrome or PTSD.
Lupita graduated from Street Light USA's recovery program and was on her way home after our visit.
She told me, she doesn't know if her pimp still lives close by, because she has never revealed his identity.
But after much counseling, she now knows what he did was wrong, and she has developed a hate for what he did to her.
Benson told ABC15, because of the psychological trauma that victims of prostitution experience, it's common for them to hide the identity of their pimps and johns.

The Oregon women's tennis team was unable to sustain a strong start in doubles play onto the singles courts in a 5-2 loss to Washington State on Saturday.
Saturday's setback was the Ducks' Pac-10 finale and drops them to 7-14 overall and 1-7 in league duals.
Oregon got a dominant effort from its top doubles pairing of Pavlina Smatova and Patricia Skowronski. The duo picked up their 21st win of the year by dispatching 76th-ranked Luidmila Vasilieva and Ksenia Googe 8-2. The Ducks clinched the doubles point on the strength of a gritty 8-6 win from Julia Metzger and Trudie du Toit on court two over Andjela Kankaras and Olga Musilovich.
The Cougars picked up steam in singles play and posted straight-set victories at No. 5, 2 and 4 singles to go up 3-1.
The final three singles matches were all three-set battles. Smatova, No. 102 nationally in singles play, rallied to defeat Elisabeth Fournier (4-6, 6-4, 6-2).
Julia Metzger and Lana Buttner each won their first sets at No. 3 and 6 singles, respectively, and each had match point opportunities. However, neither was able to close out their matches as Buttner fell to Jessica Gomez (0-6, 6-1, 7-6 [9-7]) and Metzger dropped a three-set battle to Googe (4-6, 7-5, 6-3).
Oregon concludes its dual season on Sunday when it hosts No. 48 Sacramento State at noon.

Baseball Demolishes Wright State, 15-3
March 18, 2004
BRADENTON, Fla. - The University of Massachusetts baseball team (4-3) knocked off the Wright State (5-8) by the score of 15-3, this afternoon at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. Senior first baseman Matt Reynolds (South Boston, Mass.) rapped two home runs and totaled three RBI to lead the UMass attack.
Reynolds led off the top of the second inning with a solo home run to left center field, staking UMass a 1-0 lead. Wright State would answer with a pair of runs in its half of the second, following a two run homer to make it 2-1.
UMass would tie things up with a run in the fifth as Mike Athas (Holyoke, Mass.) secured a one-out RBI double to left center plating senior Adam Stojanowski (West Roxbury, Mass.) to make it 2-2. The Minutemen added four runs in the top of the sixth inning as three hits were helped by two Raiders errors. Junior right fielder Jason Twomley (Fitchburg, Mass.) and Athas highlighted the inning with a double steal allowing Twomley to score. At the end of the frame, UMass led 6-2. Wright State would add a run in the bottom half of the inning, but that would be it.
The Minutemen rapped out two runs on four hits in the eighth and seven runs on five hits in the ninth to put it away. Reynolds highlighted the affair with a two run shot in the ninth, while sophomore DH Bill Rankin (Willington, Conn.) and classmate Frank Curreri (Weymouth, Mass.) each added a two-run double. Twomley and Stojanowski each totaled three hits, while six UMass players had two hits apiece.
UMass sophomore starter Jeremy Demers (Easthampton, Mass.) hurled seven solid innings allowing seven hits and three runs while striking out six and retiring 27 of the 30 batters he faced. Sophomore Jason Hickey (Stamford, Conn.) closed it out with three strikeouts over the final two innings.
Massachusetts baseball has won two straight games and returns to action Friday, March 19 with a 10 a.m. contest against Wisconsin-Milwaukee at the IMG Baseball Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

Sprint HTC EVO 4G party scheduled for May 12
Sprint still hasn't announced the official released date of HTC EVO 4G, but the carrier has just sent out invitations for some sort of a launch party that will be held in New York City on May 12.
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse will be at the event to showcase the multimedia capabilities of the EVO 4G. Sprint has partnered with Walt Disney Pictures for an advanced screening of the upcoming blockbuster "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" – so the movie might be pre-loaded on the smartphone.
According to the invitation, the HTC EVO 4G is "the world's first Android phone", but that's obviously a mistake – they probably wanted to say it's the world's first 4G Android phone.
While the EVO 4G will be showcased on May 12, it won't be available for purchase that month. The invite mentions that the smartphone will be out "this summer", so that June 13 launch date might be the exact one.

4) Turmeric and Liver Health
In a 2007 study on rats, scientists discovered that curcumin can protect against liver damage. Study results suggest that curcumin can help curb the production of certain proteins known to promote inflammation.
5) Osteoarthritis
Turmeric may help relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis because of its ability to reduce pain and disability.
6) Menstrual problems of Woman
For women who experience monthly menstrual cramps, try using turmeric extract or bitters twice daily for two weeks prior to expected menstruation. Turmeric is an antispasmodic to smooth muscles so it reduces digestive and menstrual cramping. It should reduce the severity of pain, if not ease them completely. Certainly, diet and standard of living have a reflective influence on the menstrual cycle, but turmeric is a great addition.
7) Bacterial Infection / Wounds
Turmeric is useful as an external antibiotic in preventing bacterial infection in wounds.
8) Eye Disorder
Curcumin may prove to be as effective as corticosteroids in the uveitis (inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye between the sclera – white outer coat of the eye and the retina – the back of the eye) the type of eye disorder.
9) Other Health Disorders
Turmeric is anti-inflammatory to the mucous membranes, which coat the throat, lungs, stomach and intestines. Regular use of turmeric can benefit from Colitis, Crohn's disease, diarrhea, and post-giardia or post salmonella conditions. The itching and inflammation that accompanies hemorrhoids and anal fissures can reduce by use of turmeric. Turmeric can also benefit skin conditions including: eczema, psoriasis and acne, for those it is potent detoxifier.
How to Use Turmeric
Turmeric is widely available in supplement form. You can also increase your turmeric intake by using curry powder in your cooking.
Since few clinical trials have studied turmeric's health effects, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine cautions against using turmeric to treat any health condition. If you're considering the use of turmeric supplements for health purposes, make sure to consult your physician before starting your supplement regimen.
Is Turmeric Safe?
Although turmeric is generally considered safe, high-doses or long-term use may cause indigestion. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine advises people with gallbladder disease to avoid using turmeric supplements, as they may worsen this condition.

There's not much to cheer about on the high-tech financial front these days. Take the mechanical CADE/CAM/CAE industry. Prior to the terrorist attacks on September 11, research firm Daratech had already shaved 2001 growth forecasts for this market from 11.4 percent to 7.9 percent. Now it has lowered expectations further, estimating that revenues will increase only 4 percent this year to reach a total of $6.26 billion. And that may be optimistic.

Acentor | Calatayud, Spain
The Acentor is made from Spain's Garnacha variety in the Calatayud region. Calatayud lays in the north-eastern corner of the country on the border with France.
"This wine is produced from old vines, aged 50 years and older which are trained en vaso. The vineyards are located between 750 and 1000 meters above sea level and have iron-rich clay soils with many large stones. Aromas of ripe blueberries with a spicy undercurrent and a fresh, medium-bodied character with soft tannins." $13.99
"5 European wines to try, at $15 and under. Spicy berry flavors are typical of good, inexpensive Spanish garnacha, and this wine delivers them, along with smoky earthiness for added interest. Not a particularly complex wine, just a really fun one."
- The Washington Post
88 points - International Wine Review Issue 39, Nov/Dec 2013
Egeo | Rueda, Spain
The Rueda wine-making region in Spain is a short distance form the capital city, Madrid, and is located in the northwest of the country. The white wines from this region are typically made with the Verdejo grape and are often fragrant, with fruity charactersitics and high levels of acidity. Whites from Rueda are perfect thirst-quenchers on hot Summer days.
"Light yellow-gold. Citrus fruits, melon and minerals on the perfumed nose. Juicy and precise, offering lively lemon and honeydew flavors that put on weight with air. Finishes smooth and spicy, with a hint of warmth and good cling."
88 points - Steven Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Bodegas Eidosela Albariño | Rias Baixas, Spain
"The Bodegas Eidosela comes from the tiny, cooler Condado de Tea region of Rias Baixas. It's lighter bodied, with fresh and precise flavors of quince, blood orange, stone fruit, and salty minerals. It finishes with focused, tangy acidity that tightens the flavors in a compact, zippy package. A fantastic value."
Try it alongside seafood, shellfish, Aisan cuisine, sushi, and even tacos.
Coto de Hayas Garnacha Centenaria
This 100% Garnacha was produced in the Campo de Borja region of Spain and consistently offers great drinking value for its meager price. It's made from 100 year old vineyards and rests for three months in French and American oak casks.
91 points Wine Spectator 2011
"This fleshy red delivers a rich core of blackberry and blueberry compote, accented by toasty vanilla, sweet licorice and cinnamon spice. Well-integrated tannins give this backbone. A bold, modern style. Drink now through 2017."
Viña Los Valles Spain
Viña Los Valles was the first organic wine from Bodegas Vinícola Real, launched in 2000. It is also our first "official" staff pick! Vinicola Real uses only organic, natural farming practices thus preserving the natural cycles of the earth, and letting the soils recover and recycle themselves using ancestral agronomical methods. This attenion to the ecosystem results in genuine, natural, honest wines which respect and reflect their terroir.
90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha, the grapes are harvested manually in 15-kilo tubs from vines with an average age of more than 25 years. "Deep ruby red with complex aromas of spices and forest scents. Powerful on the palate, with a good structure and hints of soft tannins and spices on the long, elegant finish". $13.99
Mercat Brut Cava
Mercat Cava aims to evoke the same spirit of community, liveliness, and tradition as seen at Barcelona's Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria. The Cava is made using traditional methods in the cellars of El Xamfra, where Francisco Dominguez hand crafts every bottle with the utmost attention and care. The Mercat Cava spends a minimum of 18 months aging on its lees and is finished with a very low dosage, allowing the chalky soils on which the old indigenous vines are grown, to shine through on the palate.
Unlike Champagne, the DO Cava designation is defined by a specific practice of winemaking, rather than a region where wine is made. There are over six regions with the DO Cava status, though over 90% of production is from the Penedes region. The town of Sant Sadurni d'Anoia is the unofficial Cava capital in the heart of Penedes, home of many top producers, including El Xamfra. The Macabeo, Xarel.lo & Parellada grapes are vinified in the traditional method and aged for 18 months (twice the minimum for the DO). The vines are about 15-40 years old, planted on calcerous and clay soils.
In the glass, this sparkling has a delicate bead and a soft golden color. The nose bursts with rich pear, green apple and hints of cream. On the palate, the wine shows great finesse and balance with notes of papaya and pear rounded out with hints of hazelnuts, finishing with crisp acidity and freshness. $16.99
2006 Bodegas Lan Rioja Crianza
In 1972, Bodegas LAN was founded and named after the initials of the 3 provinces in the Rioja Designation of Origin of Spain: La Rioja; Alava; Navarra. Bodegas LAN is located in the heart of Rioja Alta. The vineyard is situated in a breathtaking portion of the River Ebro. The vineyard occupies an area in which the climate, river and soil endow already exceptional grapes with a unique personality.
"Fresh and balanced, this red brims with cherry, spice and licorice, with light, firm tannins and vibrant acidity. The texture is generous yet delicate. Not heavy, but vivacious. Drink now through 2014. 200,000 cases made." – 90 Pts from Wine Spectator.
On the nose it smells of sour cherries, herbs, forest undergrowth, mulch, and mushrooms. It's palate delivers herbal and rustic qualities, with enough tannin to help it pair well with hearty food. It is dry, well-balanced and showing great development. Cold starters, pasta and cheeses will pair exceptionally well with this wine.

Why is Kate Moss desirable?
Kate Moss recently turned 40 and posed for Playboy, which means that, yes, it's time to use the "fine wine" cliché. We dig her now even more than we did during her waif-y heyday, and look forward to seeing her plastered across billboards and magazines for many years to come. She is and always will be an icon.

One of the highlights of the Vulture Festival presented by New York Magazine this past weekend was M.I.A. and Solange's Webster Hall concert last night on May 10, 2014. What at a night! The soulful Solange and the eccentric M.I.A. gave incredible performances.
The evening began with mingling and then the concert really got the party going. Solange performed tracks from "Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams." Her choreography and dance moves had everyone chanting and screaming for her. We felt like we were back on "Soul Train." As we peered down on the crowd from the second level, everyone was in a great mood and dancing. The crowd went crazy for her hit song "Losing You," which closed her set. If you haven't already heard her new song "Lost On The Way," with Chromeo check it out.
Next it was time for M.I.A. The lights went dim and the crowd prepared for the M.C. to take the stage. The screams and chants got louder and then she took to stage. She came out wearing all orange from her overalls and t-shirt to a big bomber jacket with tan sneakers. Soon she started "twerking" on stage. It was almost like a mini-rave.
M.I.A. preformed songs off her albums "Kala" "Vicki Leekx" and "Mantagi." Her hip hop, dance and reggae flavored songs filled the venue. As she sang her number one hit "Paper Planes" she brought some of the crowd on stage to dance with her, of course everyone was taking selfies and videos as she was performing. Who wouldn't? She closed the show with her hit "Bad Girls." The whole venue was shaking! What a ending. You should definitely check both of these artists out live.
On Friday, May 9 Dylan McDermott, Erykah Badu, Christiane Seidel and more attended the Vulture Festival Opening Night Party at Neuehouse. TV Host Jackie Miranne, Dave Holmes and DJ Beverly Bond also attended the event. The festival which ended today featured performances, screenings and panels with celebrities, comedians, writers and Vulture editors.

The Walpoles were greatly influenced by the most famous Irish Gardener who has ever lived, William Robinson who was born in 1838. When he started, gardening was based upon what we would nowadays call formal Public Park annual bedding and was a way in which the rich displayed their wealth as the bedding plants required lots of expensive staff to grow and maintain them. Robinson attacked this approach and advocated a natural style which has ever since been referred to as Robinsonian.
He believed that a garden should be based around perennial plantings and that its art is working with nature to create beauty. He revolutionised gardening and virtually all gardens in this part of the world owe a great deal to him. Robinson lived until 1935 and made a fortune from his books and magazines.
Mount Usher is probably the oldest and best known of the gardens inspired by him, though an extra dimension of sympathy with Nature was added by Madeleine Jay many years ago when she decided the gardens should be managed organically. Robinson himself used weed killers and inorganic fertilizers but her policy fitted perfectly with his ideals. Avoca continues to garden here by organic principles.
Edward Walpole, the gardens founder, passed the property to his three sons. The youngest of them was Thomas, an engineer. He made a great contribution to the beauty of the place, designing and building the lovely curved weirs which are dotted along the Vartry River and the suspension bridges over it. These engineering works make the river a central focus at all times until this was done, in dry spells it was reduced to a trickle and there is a natural tendency for visitors to follow to the water. But wed encourage you to stray from it to explore other areas where some of the rarest varieties of trees are located. You will find them all marked and detailed on our Tree Trail Guide.
Avoca is a family business with gardening in its blood too. We have the Avoca Nursery at our Kilmacanogue base, where we also grow for our cafes. Avoca Handweavers was established in 1723 and as guardians of that tradition were delighted to have Mount Usher in our care, developing other elements here to make it an ideal destination for families as well as plant lovers and avid gardeners.
Our Garden Café and The Bakery are both based in the courtyard as is The Garden Shop. Avoca is famous for its food and our café here is no exception. We hope you will enjoy your visit to Mount Usher and will agree with us that it creates a great feeling of happiness in those who savour its delights. This is a most extraordinary place quite apart from the amazing collection for which its a home.
Good exploring

Samsung's new Exynos 5 Octa (5420) processor unveiled. Twitter giveaway lets you win a Galaxy S4 Zoom, Tab 3 8.0, or Chromebook
Samsung's new and improved Exynos 5 Octa mobile processor that was teased last week is now official.
The new SoC (model number Exynos 5420) comes with four ARM Cortex-A15 cores (1.8GHz) and other four Cortex-A7 cores (1.3 GHz), enhancing the overall CPU processing capability by 20 percent over the previous chipset.
The 5420 is the world's first applications processor that uses a six-core ARM Mali-T628 GPU. Reportedly, this boosts 3D graphics capabilities by at least two times when compared to older architectures.
"ARM welcomes the latest addition to the successful Exynos Octa 5 series, which uses ARM's Mali GPU solution to dramatically improve graphics performance. ARM big.LITTLE and ARM Artisan Physical IP technologies continue to be at the heart of the Octa series and now complement the new functionality brought by ARM GPU Compute. This combination enables unprecedented capabilities in areas such as facial detection and gesture control, and brings desktop-quality editing of images and video to mobile devices," said Pete Hutton, executive vice president & general manager, Media Processing Division, ARM.
Samsung says that mass production for the Exynos 5 Octa 5420 will start in August. This means that the upcoming Galaxy Note III (expected to be officially announced in early September) can use the new CPU.
Meanwhile, to celebrate the introduction of the 5420, Samsung has kicked-off a Twitter giveaway (available only in the US, Canada, and the UK).
All you have to do to enter is tweet with the #ExynosEvolved hashtag. There will be weekly prizes (until October), including 12 Exynos-powered devices, like the Galaxy S4 Zoom, Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, and Chromebook. For more details, including official rules, go here.

Thatcher Demko is a goaltender playing his freshman season with Boston College. The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder played his minor hockey in southern California before joining the U.S. National Team Development Program last season. He's excelled for the United States at the under-18 level and could earn a spot on the U.S. team for the 2014 World Junior Championship. Demko has offered to maintain a monthly blog for NHL.com that will chronicle his season leading up to the 2014 NHL Draft.
Hi everyone. I'm Thatcher Demko. I am currently a goaltender for the Boston College Eagles in the Hockey East conference.
I was born in Sam Diego in December 1995. Growing up playing in San Diego was definitely a different experience than most hockey players have. In my city of nearly 1.5 million people there were four ice sheets, two in one building, so finding ice wasn't always the easiest thing to do so I always had to do so unordinary things to train.
Once I hit 15, I moved to Omaha to play for the Omaha Lancers in the United States Hockey League. After one season with that incredible organization, I moved again, to Ann Arbor, Mich., and played one season with the U.S. National Team Development Program U-18 team. I then accelerated my high school studies and got into Boston College a year early.
Picking Boston College was almost a no-brainer for me. The reputation the university has on and off the ice was second to none and I'm getting to experience it now first-hand. I can't wait to contribute to the school's already sterling achievements and hopefully we can keep them coming in the years to come.
I'm anxiously awaiting the All-American Prospects Game, which is Sept. 26 in Pittsburgh. I've heard great things from the players that participated in last year's game in Buffalo.
Aside from the game I am very excited to meet and play with some elite American prospects. It's always fun to play with fellow American hockey players.
I hope you enjoyed this first blog and will follow along here the rest of the season.

Best game on Newgrounds!
The game was a perfect clone of megaman! It was awesome. This deserves to me in the top movie of all time. The only thing missing was the cool megaman music (wood man)!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
review for controls
This was very nicly put together. the only problems I saw were that he runs ro slwo an the time btwn frames when jumping is too much. maybe just increasing the frame rate would do it. also that flying enamy moves way to fast.
When the game performs as intended, the animation is quite smooth actually. When I release the final product, Megamissions, there will be a much more efficient engine running it, and much smoother animation.
The Dragonfly is a quick little bugger, I will admit. Perhaps he should have been a tad slower.

There is a larger conversation to be had about why the selling of drugs and hip-hop are so intrinsically connected. But as long as we're pushing that discussion to the side, Madlib and Freddie Gibbs' tour-de-force, "Piñata", is an hour-long, cinematic drive through the drug-dealing landscapes of Gibbs' past, set to the Dilla-esque tunes of Madlib's beat machine.
I tend to scoff at the debates over authenticity when it comes to hip-hop's fascination with gang tales, but Gibb's timbre and unvarnished style of rhyming exude the kind of gritty, I-still-might-rob-you-if-I-had-the-chance panache that give him an unparalleled sound.
Madlib is at his best on this album, giving Gibbs his toughest set of melodies to keep up with and providing everything with an 80's blaxploitation varnish that fits just right. You often come across DJ-rapper pairings that leave you wondering if someone else might have sounded better. But on "Piñata", it's clear that these two were made for each other, combining to produce a sort of warped, poor-man's Tupac over Dilla (which is a compliment, not an insult).
The track that will get everyone talking is "Real", which is basically a 3 and a half minute undressing of all things Young Jeezy, his former boss and label mate. But the rest of the album is full of diamonds in the rough.
The features are all top notch, and there are just enough to give Gibbs some space to breath between tracks. Raekwon, Ab-Soul, Mac Miller and Scarface all throw their hat into the ring and provide noteworthy additions to the album.
This entire album is a must listen for anyone who is a fan of either artist, as it serves as the most thorough set of work either has produced. Gibbs is a true storyteller with above-average rhyme skill, and Madlib is a worthy descendant of legends like Pete Rock and Jay Dilla.
The Must Listens:
Deeper: This track features the kind of storytelling that makes Gibbs distinctive. His voice and general content choices would make you think he was the kind of rapper without any substance. But right off the bat he reminds you that telling tales is his bread and butter.
High ft. Danny Brown: From the title you can probably guess what this song is about. But it uses a great sample, and Danny Brown throws in a solid verse.
Harold's: Gibbs excels at the kind of advanced-level songwriting most rappers never even dare to approach, for fear that it will fly over their listeners heads. Using a local chicken joint as a jumping off point, he dives into a tale of another fable about a girl from his neighborhood. He deserves a lot of props for diversifying the characters within his stories.
Bomb ft. Raekwon: Another great beat from Madlib, reminiscent of something off of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. It's no surprise then that Raekwon jumps on the beat for a quick 16.
Shitsville: The best song on the album. Gibbs goes down his list of vices, showing that he isn't any different than the rest of us. It helps that Madlib gives him the best he has to offer with the melody.
Best line:
"But I went back and forth with some work, went threw a few plugs
This white devil society dare a n**** to do drugs
And dare yo a** to deal 'em, distribute and conceal 'em
My n**** don't got no boats or no ports, how you think we get 'em?
Crack was black America's cup of coffee in the beginning
When they creep up and you waking, you crackers can fight the feeling"
Real: The most blatant diss track I've heard in a while. Gibbs pretty much rips Jeezy a new one, taking him apart piece by piece with every story revealing his true character. It honestly says more about the facade rappers put up in relation to rap beefs than it does about Gibbs dislike of Jeezy.
Robes ft. Domo Genesis and Earl Sweatshirt: The beginning of the feature-heavy end of the album. All three verses are worth the price of admission, even the perennially underrated Domo.
Best Line:
"You ain't gotta like my work shit, respect my hustle
I was a solid-hearted mind before I had to grind, my swagger fine
I never had to pack my lines with plastic rhymes
Diamond in the rough, give it time, you'll find your light and shine
This little light of mine, these are our highest times"
Lakers ft. Ab-Soul and Polyester the Saint: The sample is what makes this song what it is. Madlib makes a living off of the 70s and 80s soul samples, but this one is a standout.
Knicks: The play on words, the coast-to-coast feeling of this track coming after Lakers, the back-in-the-day verses from Gibbs. It's all just too good to pass up.
Piñata ft. Domo Genesis, G-Wiz, Casey Veggies, Sulaman, Meechy Darko, Mac Miller: Leaving the best for last is something so rarely done that it's a bit jarring to come to the end of the album and hear this track. Comes in a close second to Shitsville as the best offering from the entire project. Has a Wu-tang, 7-guys-rapping-in-a-basement feel to it. Madlib gives them a solid bedrock beat to work over. Meechy Darko (of Flatbush Zombies) sounds like a weird stepchild of Gibbs and ODB. Every verse could stand on its own.

The USD 480 school board supports prayer at extracurricular activities. The item was not part of last night's agenda but when board member Nick Hatcher brought the issue up during Monday night's meeting, the board voted 7-0 in support of student led prayer before USD 480 activities. The board gives the issue a statement of support. It is not known yet how that would be implemented but it must be student led. Traditionally in Liberal, pastors led a prayer before high school football games until recent years.

One Touch EMR
The "One Touch" Difference
One Touch EMR is designed to be simple and instinctive, allowing you to chart faster than with other EMR systems currently on the market.

Similar to Paper Charts
Get your visit documented fast using familiar workflow that you already know.
Instinctive & Clean
