What are the explanations that are present (if any) on the matter of why in His prayers Jesus never addressed God by name "Jehovah"?

In Aramaic, Jesus Christ addresses God as MarYA. In Aramaic Peshitta (Aramaic NT), you will see Jesus Christ saying MarYA several times.
"YA" (Yodh Alap) is Aramaic form of Hebrew "YH" in "YHWH." MarYA means "Master YA" in English. Aramaic was the spoken language of first century Israel. So they used MarYA to address God. So the names will also get changed when they are converted from Hebrew into Aramaic.
Here are some examples. I will put Hebrew on the left, Aramaic in the middle, and English on the right.
YH (Hebrew) - YA (Aramaic) - English
Yehochanan - Yochanan - John
Yehonathan - Yonathan - Jonathan
Yehoseph - Yoseph - Joseph
Yehoyachim - Yoyakim - Joachim
Aramaic was the spoken language of Jews in first century AD and upto 130 AD in second century AD.
From 131 AD, Jewish opposition started against Emperor Hadrian which led to the rise of Simon Bar Kokhba (also known as Simon Bar Kosiba) and Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 AD). Simon Bar Kokhba revived Hebrew and tried to make Hebrew the official language of the state during Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 AD) instead of Aramaic.
According to Dead Sea Scrolls archaeologist, Yigael Yadin, Aramaic was the spoken language of Jews until Simon bar Kokhba tried to restore Hebrew as the official language of Jews during Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135). Yigael Yadin noticed the shift from Aramaic to Hebrew during the time of Bar Kokhba revolt—in his book Bar Kokhba: The Rediscovery of the Legendary Hero of the Last Jewish Revolt Against Imperial Rome, Yadin notes, "It is interesting that the earlier documents are written in Aramaic while the later ones are in Hebrew. Possibly the change was made by a special decree of Bar-Kokhba who wanted to restore Hebrew as the official language of the state" (page 181).
In Book "A Roadmap to the Heavens: An Anthropological Study of Hegemony among Priests, Sages, and Laymen (Judaism and Jewish Life)" by Sigalit Ben-Zion (Page 155), Yadin remarked: "it seems that this change came as a result of the order that was given by Bar Kokhba, who wanted to revive the Hebrew language and make it the official language of the state."
The names also "started" to convert back to Hebrew during Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 AD). From this point onwards, Hebrew "YH" was used instead of Aramaic "YA."
For Example, Yoseph Bar Yoseph in Aramaic became Yehoseph Ben Yehoseph in Hebrew during Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 AD).
As you know, Aramaic word "Bar" means son ("Bar"tholomew, "Bar"abbas, "Bar"nabbas, "Bar"sabbas, etc) while the word for son in Hebrew is Ben.
Here is the link where you can see Yehoseph Ben Yehoseph in Bar Kokhba letters.
The word Jehovah is a Latin version of the Tetragrammaton, usually considered the Hebrew name of God. Most scholars consider Jehovah "a hybrid form derived by combining the Latin letters JHVH with the vowels of Adonai", and not to have been used before 1100AD. Obviously Jesus would not have used a word invented 1100 years after his earthly life.
It is widely thought that Jesus DID use the Hebrew name of God, in John 8:58:
The reaction of the hearers was such that they clearly believed he was using the name of God.
It was the practice of the Jews not to use the name of God at that time, so he may simply have wished to not muddy the waters by giving offence. Technically the name YHWH applies just as much to him as it does the Father, so that may have accounted for it.
If Jehovah were an exclusive name for God the Father, then it would be appropriate for Jesus to have used that name, along with a myriad of other names (Jehova-Jireh, El Shaddai, etc.).
However, if the name "Jehovah" applied to the Trinity, then it would seem odd for Jesus to refer to the Father with a term that also referred to Himself as part of the Trinity.
Jesus most often uses "Father" when addressing the Father, which is a relational term.
Actually he did use it. in Luke 4:17-19 in the 19th verse the name Jehovah is used. Jesus most definitely used his fathers name while reading aloud the scroll, contrary from the scribes and pharisees who he called "offspring of vipers". and in fact while there are countless titles for God. The bible teaches that he has a personal name.
Yes a personal name. That name is Jehovah. If you look at Psalms 83:18 it says "You whose NAME is Jehovah, you alone are the most high over all the earth." In fact the divine name actually appears upwards of 6,000 times in the hebrew scriptures alone.
No doubt you have noticed the word LORD capitalized as such. That capitalization indicates the word Lord or "Adonai" has been subsituted for the divine name. (In contrast to simply lord) I promise you this, check in the beginning of your bible in the letter from the translation committee. They might even use the Hebrew transliteration in their explanation "YAWHH" The translation committee did this in adherence to the Jewish religous leader's tradition not to say the name.The same ones known by Jesus as "Hypocrites" and "offspring of Vipers."
However Jesus himself said he has made God's name known to them. (john 17:26) Moreover he also prayed for the sanctification of that name. At (Matthew 6:9) we read "Our father in heaven let your name be sanctified" or in some translations "hallowed by thy name." Either way Jesus himself did pray for God's name Jehovah to be honoured and glorified. Whats more he gave it prime importance by stating it first. I myself have just happily carried on the work and the honour of making the greatest name ever known to all who read. Jehovah which litterally means: He causes to become. For more information about the name and who today is carrying on Jesus's work of sanctifying the name please see Jw.org
Did Miriam (Mary) call her son Jesus? Nope his name was 'yeshua ben yosef' (which in itself is just an approximation due to language and alphabet limitations). Similarly, Jesus would never address God by 'Jehovah'. However he could have addressed him as any of the names of God: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Judaism
The bible may have translated the name used to 'Jehovah' to remain consistent for the reader who may not understand the different names of God.
As a side note, my personal favorite is "El Roi" which sounds like "El Row He" or "Elroy" from The Jetsons: God Who Sees me (All seeing God, sometimes denoted by the eye of providence); Hagar's name for God when He saw her affliction (Gen. 16:13).
Or El Kanno which sounds like "El Can Know": The Jealous God (Exod. 20:5; 34:14; Num. 5:14, 30; Deut. 4:24; 5:9; 6:15; Jos. 24:19; 1 Ki. 19:10, 14; Ezek. 39:25; Joel 2:18; Nah. 1:2; Zech. 1:14; 8:2). Suggests that God watches us lovingly and closely, like a faithful and passionate bridegroom watches over his betrothed.

Each and every Tuesday during the NFL season (and at least 17 times in the offseason), we release ESPN.com's prestigious Power Rankings, which send shockwaves throughout the league. Here's a look at the Week 13 rankings, which were released earlier this afternoon by the town crier in Bristol, Conn.
NFC West blogger Mike Sando has once again pulled back the curtain on our mysterious voting process and given you the opportunity to download all sorts of exclusive material. The NFC East was looking good last week, but three teams lost in Week 12, thus damaging the division's reputation across the league. Let's now go beyond the numbers and see what our four panelists were thinking:
9. Philadelphia Eagles -- The Eagles had soared to No. 6, but a 31-26 road loss to the Chicago Bears caused them to drop three spots in the rankings. AFC North blogger James Walker gave the Eagles a charitable No. 8 vote, but the other three voters had them at "9."
10. New York Giants -- I guess no one was particularly impressed with that 24-20 comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Giants stayed in the same spot after improving to 7-4. Sando was pretty harsh with a "13" on his ballot, but AFC South blogger Paul Kuharsky and John "The Professor" Clayton saved the day by marking "10s." Sando had the Chargers, Chiefs and Bucs in front of the Giants. I encourage you to get in touch with him at your earliest convenience.
21. Washington Redskins -- I feel like the panel has grown tired of the Redskins. They dropped them three spots from No. 18 and that's about where the Skins will stay the rest of the season. Kuharsky scoffed at the Skins with his "22" vote, but Walker neutralized that vote with his curious "18."
26. Dallas Cowboys -- The Cowboys fell two spots despite the efforts of Walker, who really stuck up for the Beast this week. Clayton's "No. 28" vote was the final nail in the Cowboys' Power Rankings coffin. It's hard to imagine the Cowboys cracking the top 20 again this season.
With the Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins combining to fall eight spots in the rankings, the NFC East fell from third to fifth in the overall rankings. What an utter embarrassment. Walker did his best to keep the Beast afloat with a 15.25 average ranking, but Sando cackled as his 17.25 average was released to the public Tuesday.

There's been a lot of flak lately about the digital deception of models and celebs being Photohopped into shape and beauty(watch the viedo for proof), but a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon has other ways, besides digital nips and tucks, to prepare celebs for the Red Carpet.
Dr. Leif Rogers, M.D., F.A.C.S, has photo-friendly treatments for celebs and the rest of us that he says can help to rejuvenate, restore and seemingly turn back the hands of time.
Phytoceramides Supplements--Phytoceramides were largely off the radar until Dr. Rogers introduced this 'miracle' supplement on the Dr. Oz Show. The process helps reverse the signs of aging by hydrating the skin from the inside out, plumping the skin, preventing the loss of moisture and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Phytoceramides should be taken starting 4-6 weeks before that special shoot or event.
VASER Shape (vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance)--Known as a non-invasive ultrasound technology for cellulite reduction and selective fat deposits, this procedure reduces swelling caused by air travel. This is especially important if one has flown in for a special event or needs to hit the runway soon after arriving. Because it ameliorates the look of uneven spots and the effects are immediate, models love it pre-photo shoot, and it is great for brides. Compared with the pleasant feeling of having a hot stone massage, sessions last less than an hour and there is no downtime.
ULTherapy-- The only non-invasive procedure approved by the FDA to tighten and lift the chin/jowls, neck and eyebrows, and more recently the chest area, including the cleavage, this procedure delivers micro-focused ultrasound deep below the skin's surface, reaching down towards the SMAS (the layer of tissue that covers, surrounds and attaches to the deeper tissues and structures of the face and neck). The result? The foundational layers of the skin are precisely heated, without disturbing the surface, and significant tightening and lifting can be achieved in one 60-90 minute session. The energy stimulates the growth of new and more elastic collagen with results becoming more pronounced over time. ULTherapy is also the only procedure that uses ultrasound imaging, which lets the practitioner see the layers of tissue that need to be treated, ensuring that the energy is placed exactly where it will be the most effective. While traditional areas treated include the nasolabial folds and the fine lines around the mouth as well as the chest; some high-profile patients request full-body ULTherapy on a regular basis. On the body, deeper, highly targeted settings can be used on the abdomen, thighs, backside, knees and upper arm, providing for subtle, but effective changes, especially remarkable for a non-invasive, single treatment procedure. Treatments can be repeated as often as every three months, but results are evident up to two years.
IV Vitamin Therapy—Shooting up is the 'go to' treatment of the stars. It's a pre-event 'cocktail' made with magnesium, calcium, B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, and B12) and vitamin C, plus a 'push' of the antioxidant and detoxifying powerhouse, glutathione. Post-surgery and to help the healing process, this infusion is supplemented with more vitamin C plus zinc and biotin for hair, skin and nail health. The infusions are also customized to each patient's specific nutritional needs to ensure maximal effectiveness. Bypassing the digestive system is the main advantage of IV nutrition. When substances are given orally they must be processed through the stomach and the intestines. Many substances may not be thoroughly absorbed or are rendered inactive in the digestive tract. By directly administering nutrients via the bloodstream, a much higher level of nutrition can be delivered directly to the cells. These increased levels can provide an immediate therapeutic response by correcting deficiencies; resulting in a patient feeling better within hours of the treatment.
THERMILift—It perks up the face or body by digging dip into the skin resulting in collagen production that tightens and regenerates without damaging the skin surface.
Dr. Rogers has been named a "Top Doctor" by Pasadena Magazine in 2013 and 2014. He has also served as a medical consultant for educational and television programming, including "The Dr. Oz Show" and "The Doctors Show". His offices are located at 9735 Wilshire Blvd., Penthouse Suite, Beverly Hills (310) 860-8915 and 625 Fair Oaks Avenue, Suite 27, Pasadena, (626) 537-3737.

This week's dose of organic headlines, updates, resources, goodies, and recipes courtesy of dsnodgrass...
Time for yet another round of connect-the-dots, which seems to be a recurring theme in this column.
Study: ADHD Linked to Pesticide Exposure
Children exposed to higher levels of a type of pesticide found in trace amounts on commercially grown fruit and vegetables are more likely to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder than children with less exposure, a nationwide study suggests.
Researchers measured the levels of pesticide byproducts in the urine of 1,139 children from across the United States. Children with above-average levels of one common byproduct had roughly twice the odds of getting a diagnosis of ADHD, according to the study, which appears in the journal Pediatrics.
Exposure to the pesticides, known as organophosphates, has been linked to behavioral and cognitive problems in children in the past, but previous studies have focused on communities of farm workers and other high-risk populations. This study is the first to examine the effects of exposure in the population at large.
Environmental Protection Agency regulations have eliminated most residential uses for the pesticides (including lawn care and termite extermination), so the largest source of exposure for children is believed to be food, especially commercially grown produce. Adults are exposed to the pesticides as well, but young children appear to be especially sensitive to them, the researchers say.
Detectable levels of pesticides are present in a large number of fruits and vegetables sold in the U.S., according to a 2008 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture cited in the study. In a representative sample of produce tested by the agency, 28 percent of frozen blueberries, 20 percent of celery, and 25 percent of strawberries contained traces of one type of organophosphate. Other types of organophosphates were found in 27 percent of green beans, 17 percent of peaches, and 8 percent of broccoli.
Here's a mixed bag. This speaks to a robust future in the organic food industry, while raising a myriad of concerns in regards to local farmers and environmental distress associated with long-range food transport.
India Eyes Organic Food Exports of $1 Billion
India has set a target of exporting organic food worth $1 billion in the next five years with its produce receiving wide acceptance in many mature markets of the US and Europe, a top official said on Saturday.
"Through more capacity building and bilateral agreements, India's organic exports can be enhanced to $1 billion in the next five years," said Asit Tripathy, chairman of the Agricultural and Processed Food Export Development Authority (APEDA).
"Our vision is to make India the number one organic hub in the world over in the next 10 years," Tripathy, whose agency has been promoted by the ministry of industry, told a conference on organic foods here on Saturday.
Last year, India exported 135 organic products under 18 categories. The total volume was 44,476 tonnes, realising over $125 million. The overall growth of organic food exports, thus, was 50.31 per cent over the previous year.
Around 60 per cent of the country's organic products were exported to the European Union, 20 per cent to the US, 5 per cent to Japan and the rest to Canada, Australia and East Asian countries.
I bring this disturbing issue before you on Meat Free Monday, which is another topic we should discuss in the very near future...stand by...
Think Eating "Organic" Meat is Okay? Think Again
The British animal welfare organization Animal Aid secretly planted cameras inside a slaughterhouse operated by Tom Lang, whose facility had been certified for the "humane slaughter" of organic animals by the Soil Association. The organization chose Lang's slaughterhouse precisely because it is certified to the highest standard available in the United Kingdom.
Forty hours of secret footage uncovered tightly packed animals being driven up to the facility, where they were chased into the factory by men beating them with sticks. Inside the facility, the animals are beaten once more to be herded into place. In one case, a man is seen punching, kicking and kneeing a pig, then striking it with a steel stunning tong at least 20 times, as the animal screams.
Regulations also require that animals be killed or have their throats slit within 15 seconds of being stunned, yet the tape shows animals left for much longer. One sheep was hung upside down for at least 50 seconds, during which time it began to jerk and struggle before being stabbed.
After the release of the video, the Soil Association rescinded Lang's humane slaughter certification. The Meat Hygiene Service suspended three slaughterers, opened a criminal investigation and implemented an increase in random checks of the facility.
A Daily Mail article notes that such welfare violations are widespread, with 166 slaughterhouses throughout the United Kingdom being reprimanded and 33 being prosecuted on more than 450 different occasions in the past three years. These cases do not reflect practices occurring when inspectors are not around.
Great recipe here. As always, use as many organic ingredients as possible.
Arugula and Fava-Bean Bruschetta
1 baguette cut on the bias (diagonal) into slices
½ cup of Olive Oil
4 garlic cloves (smashed skins removed)
½ cup of basil
Salt & Pepper
2 pounds fava beans (unshelled weight)
2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves smashed and minced
¼ cup of dry wine (chardonnay)
3 tablespoons of Pecorino or Parmigianino cheese
¼ teaspoon of lemon zest
½ teaspoon of lemon juice
Shaved Pecorino or Parmigiano for garnish
And of course, go to the article for the details on what you do with these ingredients.

We loved our Fatima tour. We found the driver and tour guide both to be friendly and well-informed. All of our stops were places we had wanted to visit. Our guide was one of the best we've ever had. Thank You!

Knowledgeable and attentive guide. Great tour about 10 hours long. Try and find a less touristy lunch spot, as it is your choice, and maybe that would speed things along. Monastaries were amazing, as well as the beach in Nazare. Top notch!
Outstanding! Pedro, our guide was excellent. We saw everything in the itinerary in a very relax, unhurried way. Our driver was very good and courteous. Highly recommended.
The four of us enjoyed a wonderful day in the Portuguese countryside. We were picked up on time by a very knowledgeable and personable guide. Our first stop was Fatima. We spent a couple of hours here and then proceeded to a world heritage site where we saw the tomb of Prince Henry the Navigator. For lunch we stopped at the lovely seaside village of Nazare. From here we toured a medieval walled city . We all agreed that this day was the highlight of our trip to Portugal.This is the only way to see these sights especially if you have a group of four or more not only is it economical but you get to see so much more of Portugal..
Frank H USA
The van was on time when he picked us up at our hotel. One of the pluses of this tour was our guide, not only was he knowledgeable but also very friendly and spoke perfect English. Because this was a private tour he offer us the flexibility of pretty much customizing the tour by determining the length of time we wanted to spend at each place visited. We had a fantastic lunch in Nazare right on the beach. A fantastic private tour.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Leduc, Fred (Frederick Cloude Piere Antione Jaun Leduc)
Leduc, Fred (Frederick Cloude Piere Antione Jaun Leduc), guitarist; b. Victoria, Australia, 18 November 1973. His mother, Isabelle Segade, was born in Morroco and his
father, Claude Leduc, was born in France. His sister is Daniel Leduc (b. 27-11-70) and his brother is France Leon.
He personally studied at Greensborough tafe for 3 years from 1995. Fred began playing guitar during his teenage years, 1988 approximately. He attended the Northern Metropolitan College of Tafe and completed the 2 year Advanced Certificate in Jazz Performance. During this time, Fred was involved in the recording of an album with the Progressive Rock band named 'Vaudeville'. This album proved extremely popular landing him contracts throughout Asia and parts of Europe. Fred continued on to complete further study, attending La Trobe University studying the Bachelor of Music Degree based on classical influences, which he successfully completed in 1998.

A decade ago there were several dozen independent production companies producing television series and films, but today there is only a handful. This consolidation has led to fewer opportunities for writers to own the content they create; has put greater power and decision-making in the hands of a few global conglomerates; and ultimately has diminished the economic and creative stake writers have in the content they create. The WGAW is committed to finding innovative ways for independent producers to flourish and will work toward that goal with the new Congress.
Over the coming weeks, look for opportunities to become involved in the discussion to augment opportunities for independent producers in the entertainment industry.

Erik Spjut, a four-year starting wrestler at Virginia Tech, has been hired as an assistant coach for the new women's and men's programs at Lyon College, the Arkansas-based school announced Wednesday, July 9.
Lyon, the oldest independent four-year college in Arkansas, announced in July 2013 it would be adding both men's and women's wrestling programs, along with plans to resurrect its football program after 62 years, all for the 2014-15 season. A few months later, Kevin Carter was announced as head coach of the mat Scots.
Originally from the Houston area, Spjut (pronounced Spute), was a four-year starter and captain at the Woodlands High School, where he captured three Texas state titles. Spjut then headed east to Blacksburg, Va. to wrestle at Virginia Tech where he was a four-year starter. As a Hokie, Spjut was a two-time NCAA Division I Championships qualifier, posting a 65-51 overall record competing from 125 to 141 pounds. In addition, Spjut was a two-time University Freestyle All-American athlete, placing fourth and eighth. Spjut graduated from Virginia Tech with major in history, and a minor in business leadership in 2014.
Head coach Kevin Carter thinks Spjut is the right candidate to help launch the two new wrestling programs at Lyon.
"I think the biggest contribution Erik will bring is that he's a great technician," Carter said. "He can come in and bring current technique to the program. The fact that he has wrestled in Division I at the college level means that he can brings the things he's learned from Virginia Tech to our wrestling room.
"The other thing I like about him is that he's been a winner at all levels. He understands what it takes to get to a championship level of competition. His sister (Lindsey Spjut of McKendree University) is one of the best wrestlers in the nation. So Erik has been around some of the best wrestlers in the country and also has been associated with great women's programs, as well."
The former Hokie wrestler is eager to launch his collegiate coaching career at a brand-new wrestling program like Lyon.
"It feels really good to be joining the coaching staff at Lyon," Spjut stated. "I'm really excited to get started. I think I can help the program out a lot, coming from a (NCAA) Division I program. I think I can help our wrestlers to succeed both in the classroom and in competition."
Lyon College joins University of the Ozarks, Williams Baptist College, and Ouachita Baptist University as Arkansas-based institutions that have launched wrestling programs in recent years.
Established in 1872, Lyon College is an independent, residential, co-educational, undergraduate liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), according to its official website. The school, located in Batesville, Ark. northeast of the state capital Little Rock, has an enrollment of approximately 600 students. Lyon's sports programs, the Scots to honor the school's Scottish heritage, compete in NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics).

In the history of television we have found many series that caused a sensation at the time and some that seem to cause a stir will not stop television. What are your favorite series? Today Is The TV series do you propose 10 that have made history for you to give us your opinion.
Many times when we see the series of old did not seem as great as the memory we have in mind and others fascinate us even more than then.
What series are you remember more nostalgia?
If we focus on the series of recent years Paco's men had us all on tenterhooks waiting to see what was happening at the station and of course, the many love affairs that seemed to never find love.
Series like The internship took more than a dream, an interesting plot, but impressive performances with an ending that for some has been a bit disappointing.
We could not forget the Red Eagle or The Boat that are more current and keep us in suspense, waiting for the coming seasons to find out more of his characters and all the history that hide behind.
If we focus on the comedy television series "There's no living being," "Aida" or "looming" are the series that never fail you have to enjoy a good laugh, although that does not go out of style is the series "Friends" that even still enjoying some channels.
And for those who want to dip further in the memories How do you not mention "Farmacia de Guardia", "Tell me" or "Summer Blue"? We went from bicycles to the concerns of online motorcycle insurance and summers in the village to the beach!
Life changes and our tastes also vary, what is for you the best series of all time?

In the past decade there has been substantial improvement in the quality of drug therapy for asthma. In part, this reflects the greater sophistication and confidence in the use of bronchodilator drugs, after their role in modifying the intracellular concentration of cyclic nucleotides was discovered. Another advance has come from the appearance of adequate information on theophylline blood levels and half-lives and their variability in man. The increasing availability of theophylline blood levels has aided not only in the selection of therapeutic doses but also in determining the effectiveness of newer products that, for example, promise to have a more sustained effect when given by mouth. The plight of asthmatic patients dependent on oral glucosteroid therapy has been substantially eased with the development of new steroid-sparing drugs that are effective by inhalation.

Tapirs are related to horses and rhinos, not to pigs. There are four species, three of which are found in Central and South America. Tapirs can weigh up to 300 kg.
The Malayan tapir is the largest of the species and is distinguished by its unusual coloration. The rear half of the body above the legs is white. All young tapirs are born, however, with a pattern of dots and stripes on their body which makes them appear, in the words of one zoologist, like "watermelons with legs." As they get older, these markings gradually fade away to be replaced by the permanent colours.
Shy and solitary by nature, tapirs are often hunted in their native countries for their hide, which is tough and leathery. In some parts of Asia, tapir meat is sold in the shops, although it is said to be less than tasty, with a high fat content.
The New World species seem to be headed toward extinction as the advance of civilization destroys their environment and as native people hunt them, sometimes just for sport. The Malayan species does not, for the time being at least, appear to be endangered. Now legally protected, the species nevertheless continues to be the target of poachers due to lax enforcement.

Last Time Out: Salim Stoudamire set a school record with nine three-point field goals in Arizona's 91-70 win over Oregon State last Sunday. Stoudamire, who hit 9-of-14 attempts from behind the arc, scored 20 of his game-high 31 points in the first half. His 31 points led four Wildcats in double figures, while Hassan Adams and Channing Frye each posted double-doubles. Arizona used a 26-8 run early in the second half to put the game out of reach.
Scouting Washington State: The Cougars enter Thursday's game with a 10-13 record (5-9 Pac-10) after a 68-55 loss Saturday vs. Washington. WSU shoots 39.9 percent from the field (475-of-1189), posts a -3.9 rebound margin and is outscored by 1.4 points per game. Individually, two Cougars average in double figures, led by Thomas Kelati, who averages 13.3 points per game. Jeff Varem leads the team by averaging 7.9 rebounds per game.
The Series: Thursday's game marks the 57th meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 45-11 series advantage. UA has won 38 of the last 39 meetings in the series, which dates back to Dec. 22, 1959, but Washington State captured the last get-together, 70-63, in Tucson on Jan. 29. All-time, Arizona is 22-6 in series games played in Tucson, 19-5 in Pullman, and 4-0 in neutral-site games. For more series information, please see page 105 of the UA basketball media guide.
Last Meeting: Washington State 70, Arizona 63, Jan. 29, 2005: Washington State's Thomas Kelati scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half to lead the Cougars to the seven-point win and snap Arizona's 38-game win streak over WSU. Kelati's trey with 52 seconds to go, one of his career-high seven on the day, broke a 63-63 tie and gave WSU the lead for good. Five Arizona players finished in double figures, but it wasn't enough, as WSU scored on nine of its last 12 possessions.
Matching a Legend: A win today would give UA coach Lute Olson his 304th career Pac-10 victory, equaling UCLA's John Wooden for most career conference wins by a league head coach. Entering tonight's game, Olson has a career Pac-10 record of 303-86 (.779), while Wooden amassed a 304-74 (.810) mark while the mentor in Westwood.
Player of the Week: Salim Stoudamire led Arizona to a home sweep of the Oregon schools by averaging 26.5 points and 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in two games this week. The senior guard shot 56.7 percent from the field (17-of-30), including 65.0 percent (13-of-20) from three-point range, and was 6-of-6 from the free throw line as well. He opened the week with a game-high 22 points on 7-of 14 shooting (4-of-6 from behind the arc) in Thursday's win over Oregon and followed that with 31 points (10-of-16 FG), a rebound and an assist Sunday vs. Oregon State. En route to the 31 points, Stoudamire set a school with nine three-point field goals (in 14 attempts) to notch his fifth consecutive 20-point game and his second 30-point game this season. For his efforts, he was named Pac-10 Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Record Setter: Salim Stoudamire set a school record with nine three-point field goals vs. Oregon State, breaking the old record of eight set by Jason Gardner on Dec. 1, 2001, in a 105-97 loss to Kansas. Stoudamire now has 311 career three-point field goals, which is just seven shy of Gardner's school record of 318.
Streak Stopped: Arizona saw its streak of five consecutive game of shooting 50 percent or better end with Sunday's 47.9 percent (34-of-71) effort vs. Oregon State. Over the last five games, Arizona is shooting 51.9 percent from the field (166-of-320) and averaging 88.8 points per game.
Second Place: Salim Stoudamire's 65.0 percent (13-of-20) shooting from three-point range improved his three-point FG percentage on the season to 56.0 percent (89-of-159). Furthermore, Stoudamire is now shooting 46.6 percent (311-of-668) from three-point range in his 119-game career, a figure that currently ties him for second place on the NCAA's career three-point field goal percentage list.
Stat Sheet Stuffers: Hassan Adams put forth one of his most complete games of the season with a 13-point, 10-rebound, five-steal and two-block game Sunday vs. Oregon State. It was Adams' third double-double of the season and the 10th of his career. He was joined by Channing Frye, who posted 15 points and 11 rebounds (sixth this season/27th career), marking the second time this season Arizona has had two players with a double-double in the same game.
At the Point: Mustafa Shakur posted a five-assist day Sunday vs. Oregon State, his 13th such game this season. In his career, Arizona is 26-4 when Shakur collects five or more assists in a single game. The 6-foot-3 sophomore from Philadelphia is averaging 4.7 assists per game this season.
Heating Up: Arizona has scored 90 or more points in four of the last six games, a pace that has boosted the Wildcat season scoring average to 80.3 points per game. In 15 conference games, Arizona has topped the 90-point plateau seven times and is averaging 84.9 points per game, a figure that is 11.0 points per game higher than the opposition.
The Chosen Few: Channing Frye enters Thursday's game three rebounds shy of becoming just the third player in Arizona history to collect 900 career rebounds. Frye, who currently ranks third in UA history with 897 rebounds, has a career average of 7.3 rebounds per game. He trails only Al Fleming, who grabbed 1,190 career boards from 1973-76, and Bob Elliott, who collected 1,083 career caroms between 1974-77.
A Good Start: One of the keys to Arizona's success this season has been its ability to build an early lead. Through 27 games, Arizona is 39.1 points per game in the first half, 6.5 points more than the opposition. All told, Arizona is 17-2 when leading at the half, though one of those did come at the hands of Washington State on Jan. 29.
Off the Bench: Three players shined off the bench on Sunday, as freshman Daniel Dillon notched a career high with three rebounds to go with an assist in 10 minutes vs. the Beavers. Fellow freshman Jesus Verdejo also chipped in with seven points, and an assist in just six minutes of Sunday's game. The Carolina, Puerto Rico, native hit 3-of-5 shots from the floor, including 1-of-2 from three-point range. Senior Matt Brase also set new career highs with his four-point, four-rebound effort against Oregon State.
From Long Range: Bolstered by Salim Stoudamire's school-record nine treys Sunday, Arizona equaled a season best by sinking 13 treys (in 27 attempts/.481). UA has made 13 treys in a game three times this season, but like taking a cue from Stoudamire's accuracy, the Cats haven't needed a lot of attempts to do so. In fact, Arizona's very respectable .481 shooting percentage from behind the arc against OSU was actually the lowest percentage of the bunch. On Dec. 21 vs. Manhattan, UA shot 61.9 percent (13-of-21) from three-point range, and shot .52.0 percent (13-of-25) on Dec. 30 vs. Richmond.
Controlling the Boards: Arizona is 17-2 this season when outrebounding the opposition, and six times the squad has posted at least a +10 rebound margin. UA has outrebounded 19 of 26 opponents in 2004-05. Last season, Arizona was 16-4 when outrebounding the opposition.
On the Tube: Arizona's March 5 men's basketball game at Arizona State will tip-off at 4 p.m. MST, the Pacific-10 Conference office announced Monday. The contest was selected for national broadcast by Fox Sports Net. It marks Arizona's 17th national television appearance of the season.
Always on the Run: Arizona has made a name for itself with an ability to embark on some large scoring runs. Fourteen times during the 2004-05 season UA has posted a scoring run of more than 15 points. Here is a look at the list:
24 points ?- 38-14 run over 11:33 vs. Oregon, Feb. 17
21 points ?- 29-8 run over 8:58 vs. Manhattan, Dec. 21
19 points ?- 27-8 run over 8:10 vs. Wright State, Nov. 18
19 points ?- 22-3 run over 8:49 vs. Richmond, Dec. 30
19 points ?- 19-0 run over 4:10 at UCLA, Feb. 12
18 points ?- 20-2 run over 8:11 vs. San Diego, Nov. 16
18 points ?- 22-4 run over 7:50 vs. California, Feb. 3
18 points ?- 31-13 run over 9:59 vs. Oregon State, Feb. 20
17 points ?- 25-8 run over 10:15 vs. Eastern Washington, Dec. 28
16 points ?- 18-2 run over 5:00 vs. Wyoming, Nov. 30
16 points ?- 23-7 run over 5:59 vs. Manhattan, Dec. 21
16 points ?- 21-5 run over 5:12 vs. Arizona State, Jan. 2
16 points ?- 16-0 run over 4:24 at Oregon, Jan. 20
16 points ?- 29-13 run over 10:56 vs. Stanford, Feb. 5
Scoring 80: Perhaps no statistic is more telling of UA success, as the squad is 139-16 (.897) since the start of the 1997-98 season when scoring at least 80 points. The Cats are 15-0 this season when topping the 80-point plateau.
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed three student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period. Fendi Onobun (F, 6-7, 215) from Houston, Texas, Alief Taylor High School; J.P. Prince (G, 6-6, 183) from Memphis, Tenn., White Station High School; and Marcus Williams (F, 6-6, 190) from Seattle, Wash., Roosevelt High School, will join the squad next fall.
Up Next: Following tonight's game, Arizona meets Washington in a battle of the Pac-10's nationally ranked teams. The contest, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 26, tips off at 1 p.m. PST and can be seen nationally on Fox Sports Net.

Urban transport has a marked effect on quality of life for the three quarters of Europeans living in cities. Road transport is a major source of air pollution in cities, leading to a high proportion of the population being exposed to pollutant levels above EU and World Health Organisation standards. The seriousness of this was underlined in October when the UN classified outdoor air pollution as carcinogenic.
Traffic noise is also a major health issue in many cities. More than a quarter of the inhabitants of Sofia, Luxembourg, Paris and Tallinn are exposed to night-time traffic noise above WHO limits, according to data on 17 European capitals published in the report. Quality of life is also affected by commute times, with commuters in London and Budapest are most likely to travel more than an hour to work, according to a survey of 75 cities in the EU and Turkey.
Many cities have successfully improved the urban environment by addressing two sides of the issue - encouraging people to switch to non-motorised modes and public transport, while simultaneously restricting car use. Despite initial opposition, such schemes often become very popular with residents, the report notes, citing the example of Stockholm's congestion charge. The report argues that such positive examples should encourage municipalities to replicate policies elsewhere.
Hans Bruyninckx, EEA Executive Director, said: "Many cities are applying innovative ideas which will make the car-based transport system seem like an idea belonging to the last century. City life does not have to mean polluted air, congestion, noise and long travelling times. New ideas in urban transport are transforming many cities into more pleasant, healthy places to live."
Better cycling infrastructure in many cities is starting a self-reinforcing pattern of increasing bike traffic, the report notes, referring to the Copenhagenize Index of bicycle-friendly cities. For example, Seville recently moved rapidly up to fourth place due to the extensive new infrastructure for bikes, which has allowed bike traffic to increase from 0.5 % of kilometres travelled to 7 % in just a few years.
The EEA's TERM report also includes many other indicators measuring environmental trends connected to transport.
[i] These figures do not include international maritime transport.
One way that the EU has achieved this improvement is by setting legally binding and non-binding limits for the whole Union for certain pollutants dispersed in the air. The EU has set standards for particulate matter (PM) of certain sizes, ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, lead, and other pollutants that may have a detrimental effect on human health or ecosystems. Key pieces of legislation that set pollutant limits across Europe include the 2008 Directive on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe (2008/50/EC), and the 1996 Framework Directive on ambient air quality assessment and management (96/62/EC).
Another approach to legislating for improvements to air quality is through the setting of national annual emission limits for specific pollutants. In these cases, countries are responsible for introducing the measures needed to ensure that their emission levels are below the ceiling set for the relevant pollutant.
The Gothenburg Protocol to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP), and the EU National Emission Ceilings Directive (2001/81/EC) both set annual emissions limits for European countries on air pollutants, including those pollutants responsible for acidification, eutrophication, and ground-level ozone pollution. The Gothenburg Protocol was revised in 2012. And the National Emissions Ceilings Directive is up for review and revision in 2013.
In addition to setting air quality standards for specific pollutants and annual country-level ceilings, European legislation is also designed to target particular sectors that act as sources of air pollution.
Emissions of air pollutants from the industrial sector are regulated, by among others, the 2010 Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and the 2001 Directive on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from Large Combustion Plants (2001/80/EC).
Vehicle emissions have been regulated through a series of performance and fuel standards, including the 1998 Directive relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels (98/70/EC) and vehicle emission standards, known as the Euro standards.
The Euro 5 and 6 standards cover emissions from light vehicles including passenger cars, vans, and commercial vehicles. The Euro 5 standard came into force on 1 January 2011, and requires all new cars covered by the legislation to emit less particulates and nitrogen oxides than the limits set. Euro 6, which will enter into force in 2015, will impose stricter limits on nitrogen oxides emitted by diesel engines.
There are also international agreements concerning the emissions of air pollutants in other areas of transportation, such as the International Maritime Organization's 1973 Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), with its additional protocols, which regulate sulphur dioxide emissions from shipping.
(c) Javier Arcenillas, ImaginAIR/EEA
"Although fortunately there are still places in Romania almost wild and spectacular, where nature is unstained by the hand of man, in more urbanized areas there is an obvious ecological problem."
Javier Arcenillas, Spain
A pollutant is usually regulated by more than one piece of legislation. Particulate matter, for example, is directly addressed by three European legal measures (Directives on ambient air quality and emissions of air pollutants, and the Euro limits on road vehicle emissions) and two international conventions (LRTAP and MARPOL). Some of the PM precursors are tackled by other legal measures.
The implementation of these laws are also spread over a period of time and achieved in stages. For fine particles, the air quality directive sets 25 μg/m3 as a 'target value' to be met by 1 January 2010. The same threshold is set to become a 'limit value' by 2015, entailing additional obligations.
For some sectors, air policies might first cover certain pollutants in limited parts of Europe. In September 2012, the European Parliament adopted the revisions that brought the EU's standards on sulphur emissions by ships in line with the International Maritime Organization's standards from 2008. By 2020, the sulphur limit will be 0.5 % in all the seas around the EU.
For the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the English Channel in so-called 'Sulphur Emission Control Areas', the European Parliament set an even stricter sulphur limit of 0.1 % by 2015. Considering that standard marine fuel contains 2 700 times more sulphur than conventional diesel for cars, it is clear that this legislation gives strong reasons to the shipping sector to develop and use cleaner fuels.
Current European air-quality legislation is based on the principle that EU Member States divide their territories into a number of management zones in which countries are required to assess air quality using measurement or modelling approaches. Most big cities are declared to be such zones. If air‑quality standards are exceeded in a zone, the Member State has to report to the European Commission and explain the reasons.
The countries are then required to develop local or regional plans describing how they intend to improve the air quality. They could for example establish so-called low-emission zones that restrict access for more polluting vehicles. Cities can also encourage a shift in transport to less polluting modes including walking, cycling, and public transport. They can also ensure that industrial and commercial combustion sources are fitted with emission‑control equipment, according to the latest, best-available technology.
Research is also critical. Not only does research offer us new technologies, it also improves our knowledge of air pollutants and their negative effects on our health and ecosystems. Integrating the latest knowledge into our laws and actions will help us to continue to improve Europe's air.
(c) Gülçin Karadeniz
Although air pollution has decreased over the last two decades, it is still a major problem in many areas. 'Euro standards' for vehicles have not succeeded in reducing real NO2 emissions to the levels set out in the legislation although they have made substantial improvements to air quality overall.
Increasing transport of goods is also leading to poor air quality. Freight was one of the main causes of the high levels of NO2. Increased shipping over the last two decades has also meant that emissions of acid rain-causing sulphur oxides have only decreased 14 % since 1990, despite major efficiency improvements.
Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director, said: "One of the big challenges of the 21st Century will be to mitigate the negative effects of transport – greenhouse gases, air pollution and noise – while ensuring positive aspects of mobility. Europe can take the lead by intensifying its work in the area of technological innovation in electric mobility. Such change could transform inner city living."
The jury noted that Copenhagen is an excellent role model for its approach to urban planning. In 2010, 35 % of citizens were already cycling to their place of work or education, which the municipality hopes to increase to 50% in 2015, contributing towards the ambitious goal of becoming CO2 neutral by 2025. Other plans to reduce emissions include using more sources of renewable energy for the city's existing district heating system.
Environmentally-conscious planning has been demonstrated to have many health benefits. Copenhagen now has an official municipal policy stipulating that by 2015 all citizens should be able to reach a park or beach on foot in less than 15 minutes. In line with this policy, several new parks are under development in areas lacking green spaces.
The Danish capital has worked with green companies, universities and organisations in order to boost eco-innovation and sustainable employment. Successful communication efforts mean the environment is not just seen as a municipal concern, according to the jury, Copenhageners feel they are part of the solution.
Frankfurt, as one of the runners-up, has also achieved a great deal, according to the jury. Total volumes of waste have been decreasing for years. Environmental campaigns in areas like water and electricity have also led to reductions in water and electricity consumption beyond the national average.
The Jury was impressed by Frankfurt's commitment to improve energy efficiency with a range of policies. All new buildings in Frankfurt must be 'passive', i.e. meet strict standards for energy use. The city is bringing in an ambitious Green Public Procurement policy, especially in the building sector. Frankfurt banned the use of tropical timber in 1999 and the use of PVC is also forbidden.
Bristol has ambitious targets to cut CO2, which go further than those of the EU and UK. The city aims to reduce emissions by 40% by 2020 and by 80% by 2050 from a 2005 baseline. Another commendable example was Bristol's policy on clean air and noise: the city has one of the most comprehensive air quality monitoring networks in the UK and has plans to manage transport to further improve the situation.
The jury noted that the city has mobilised many thousands of people through volunteering schemes, e-petitions, online discussions and collaborations with many different community organisations.
Approximately three quarters of Europeans live in cities. The high concentration of people in urban areas can put intense pressures on the local environment. Cities also affect the environment much further afield – the average urban lifestyle in Europe directly and indirectly uses water, energy, resources and land. One study of Greater London estimated London's environmental footprint to be 300 times its geographical area — corresponding to nearly twice the size of the entire UK.
However, the three Green Capital Award finalists all demonstrate that cities are also places where it is possible to make big environmental gains. For example, the high concentration of people and services means that public transport often works very efficiently, while people are more likely to cycle or walk to their local shops instead of driving. Per capita energy use is usually lower in city apartment blocks compared to dispersed rural dwellings.
Cities are also engines of cultural, financial and intellectual activity, driving new innovations which are essential for responding to Europe's environmental challenges.
But Europe's cities are also vulnerable to environmental shocks. A recent European Environment Agency report explored the risks from climate change, finding city dwellers were particularly vulnerable to some risks such as heatwaves and urban flooding.]]>

There is sad news today for the star of "The Love Boat." On Thursday, TMZ shared the news that Jill Whelan has filed for divorce. She played Capt. Stubing's daughter Vicki on "The Love Boat" but also played on the movie "Airplane." She is divorcing her husband John Chaykowsky and it looks like she wants a lot from him.
Jill and John have an 8-year-old son together. She is wanting to have full legal and physical custody of their son. Jill is hoping that she will be the one that he is living with all the time and is probably ready for a fight to make sure that she gets what she wants from him. She also wants spousal support from him as well.
Yes Jill works an actress, but she hasn't been working all of the time. She will have a big role and then not work for a while. That is why she wants to get spousal support from him. It will be interesting to see if she can pull it off or not when they go to court. IMDb shared that Jill was on "The Love Boat" for 190 episodes over her nine years on the show.
People shared a bit of information about who her painful divorce back in 2001. She was married then to businessman Brad St. John and they divorced. They also had a child together. Things did not work out for them and now she will be getting divorced again.
Her husband that is she is divorcing now is Michael Chaykowsky. It is very sad that Jill Whelan is getting a divorce from her current husband. Fans would love to see her happy so hopefully this is the best move for Jill and she can move on with her life. They are still in the early stages of the divorce.

Changhua Wu on Beijing's smog: Mother's Day, our children's future
- Date
- 09 May 2013
By Changhua Wu, Greater China Director, The Climate Group.
Below is a photo taken from my office in Beijing yesterday afternoon. Puzzled? Horrified? Well, it comes as no surprise if you have been closely following the international and Chinese media coverage since the beginning of 2013. The concentration of an air pollutant called fine particulate matter (known as PM 2.5) is 382, a level which is classified as extremely toxic.
Beijing is the homeland of more than 24 million people. I am a mother with a 13-year-old boy. And my family has been living here for more than ten years. When local statistics bodies keep telling you that lung cancer is now the biggest killer of residents of Beijing, you can imagine how parents feel - not only for their own health, but more importantly for their children's futures.
We often talk about the level of environmental issues for the Chinese public as much more critical compared to their peers in other parts of the world. The explanation is simple. We literally see the problem every day.
Air pollution aside, the latest surveys of water contamination and scarcity, soil contamination and food safety, all send alarms to the people here that it is not safe to live in the world's largest emerging economy. A country which has been creating economic miracles for decades and has achieved so much in terms of driving low carbon growth, yet our cities are shrouded in smog.
What is encouraging though, is the response from the new top leadership to the uproar from the public on the need to tackle these environmental problems immediately.
Just yesterday, Beijing municipal government announced its cap of coal consumption this year to 21.5 million tons, which is 1.4 million tons less than last year. This is a positive first step.
The decision also aims to establish the required instructional and governance mechanisms, as well as incentives and disincentives that will send strong policy support to help shift the market from coal. Natural gas is one of the biggest parts of the solution in China.
In the meantime, there exists high expectations among society of the more aggressive actions that will be taken by the new leadership in the latter half of this year. It is believed that the new generation of leaders in China will adopt a clean revolution strategy to ensure this country is regarded as beautiful and sustainable.
As the wider international community celebrates Mother's Day, we must all demand ambitious action from our leadership to secure a future that is cleaner, safer and better for our children.

Walter Williams -- the man who was found alive in a body bad presumed dead two weeks ago -- has died. According to a video report by Newsy, Williams passed away in Mississippi on Thursday.
As previously reported, Williams was taken from the home he was staying in after he was pronounced dead two weeks ago. He was taken by a hearse to a nearby funeral home but embalmers noticed him moving while he was in the body bag. It turns out he wasn't dead after all. It had been suspected that Williams' pacemaker stopped working for enough time for him to be declared dead but then it started again, essentially bringing him back to life.
A hospice patient, Walter Williams knew that he had limited time left but he and his family were happy to have more time together -- even if it was only a couple of weeks. And his family made sure to double check this time around -- they actually had a good laugh over the situation, keeping positive spirits around their deceased loved one.

Bathroom Tiles
One of the best ways to revolutionize the quality, value, and appearance of your bathroom is through replacing its tiles. Bathrooms need tiles. Lots of them. Bathrooms usually have tiles on the floor, tiles on the wall, tiles in the shower, and sometimes even tiles on the countertop. Tiles are what keep the water from penetrating your walls. They are what provide a bathroom with its striking beauty and clean appearance. They are, in essence, what a bathroom is defined by. And besides, they provide excellent acoustics for a hearty shower sing.

Never Look Back (Chapter 3) Winter Soldier/ReaderWhile you traveled in the car, feet up on the dash, you looked at him. "Who are you anyway? What do they want?" It was a fair question. Well, two fair questions.Never Look Back (Chapter 3) Winter Soldier/Reader by piscesqueen
With barely a beat passing, his grip tightened on the steering wheel. "They want their property back." It took a second for your mind to wrap around the idea. He stole from them? Who was he? Why wouldn't he answer clearly?
Finally your mind wrapped around the larger question. "Who are… They?" Was he some crazy conspiracy theorist? Although, it was clear there was some sort of conspiracy… It was eerie how his head turned slowly until his eyes were boring into yours.
"Hydra." The way he said that single word dripped with so much venom you felt you were going to asphyxiate by being in the same car. Shit. Hydra? Shit. In the few moments it had taken to process that little tidbit of information he had turned back to the road.
If Hydra was his enemy and Hydra was evil
Never Look Back (Chapter 2) Winter Soldier/ReaderThis man's muscles had to be killing him. You'd been driving for maybe three or so hours and every time you glanced over, there he was. Shoulders tense, hands fisted on his lap, mouth set in a grim line. Holding that pose for so long seemed pretty killer. You had to get him to relax, he was making you nervous. "Do you want to drive?" The sun had begun to rise and it'd been a little over twenty-four hours since you slept anyway. Of course, you'd have to stay awake for at least an hour. To make sure he wasn't going to kill you or anything.Never Look Back (Chapter 2) Winter Soldier/Reader by piscesqueen
The grunt he made sounded vaguely affirmative so you pulled over and exited the vehicle. Your hunch was right, as he got into the driver's seat and took off once you were secured. Ah, the allowance to close your eyes was blissful. You'd open them in a few minutes, of course. That didn't quite turn out like you planned.
When you awoke, the sun was far higher in the sky than when you fell asleep
Never Look Back (Chapter 1) Winter Soldier/ReaderThis was crazy. As you climbed out of your car you knew that. You were still clad in the black dress you'd worn to the funeral. Out of place? Understatement of the year. The rusty truck-stop, like the rest of the trip, was completely spur of the moment. It was on the way, and the only place open in the middle of the night to stock up on coffee and snacks for the drive ahead.Never Look Back (Chapter 1) Winter Soldier/Reader by piscesqueen
You just couldn't wait. After your father's funeral, another night in D.C. felt… Wrong. You'd only been there to help your father and now that that ended… You just needed to run. Run all the way across the country. Your whole life was packed up in boxes in the back of your car.
Grabbing some sunflower seeds, chips, and gum, you stuck them under your arm while you filled up a coffee cup. Now the weight of your decision began to to bear down on you.

Trigger Warning for Body Insecurities
Thump, thump. The deep, rhythmic pounding of volleyballs in the gym were like your own personal therapist. When you were on the court, nothing could touch you. Bump, set, spike, bump, set, spike. It even helped alleviate one of your worst personal insecurities. All of the girls on the volleyball team deviated from the norm for the most part, and it made you feel a lot more… normal.
You were probably heavier than most of them, but those thoughts were for after practice. After practice was when you thought about the stubborn pinch of fat, you swore it was fat, on your stomach. And your thunder thighs. No matter how many miles you ran, or crunches you did, you still were just… Big everywhere. You were here at this college because of volleyball and you were still just so… Big.

United States District Judge Bernard Friedman ruled on Friday, March 21, that Michigan's ban on same-marriage is unconstitutional.
In 2004, Michigan voters overwhelmingly voted that heterosexual marriage is the relationship that works best for families; but now Federal Judge Friedman has put an end to that rule.
With the ban being lifted means that gay couples, same-sex couples can marry now.
Dozens of couples were waiting to marry as soon as the ruling went forth. The first couple to arrive at the Ingham County Courthouse to tie the knot were, Glenna DeJong, 53 and Marsha Casper, 51 of Lansing. The couple had been together for 27 years, and County Clerk Barb Byrum performed the ceremony and they received their license.
Attorney General Bill Schuette immediately requested for a stay to put, at least, a temporary end to the ceremonies.
Michigan is the 18th state to join the ranks of allowing gay marriage in their state.
The ruling comes out a lawsuit filed by a gay couple, April Deboer and Jayne Rowse, objecting to the ban that gay couples can not adopt children together. From that, a two-week trial was held in the United States District Court with Judge Bernard Friedman presiding.
You can get a copy of Judge Friedman's 31-page opinion from the U.S. District Court courthouse downtown.

Reed, a four-year letterman who started 34 games for the Wildcats, finished with a career-best 47 tackles in 2010 including 6.5 sacks among 10 tackles for loss, plus two pass breakups and a forced fumble. He had 114 career tackles at UA and 17 career sacks. He earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors this past year.
The Senior Bowl will be played in Mobile Jan. 29, with the East-West Shrine Game to be held this Saturday (Jan. 22) in Orlando, Fla. Both games involve heavy scrutiny from NFL player personnel departments in early looks for the NFL Draft.
