Tulane director of volleyball Sinisa Momic will get a chance to see his team in action three times this weekend
Aug 29, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane's volleyball will start their season this weekend, playing three matches over the course of Friday and Saturday as they host the Kathy Trosclair Memorial Tournament at the newly renovated Devlin Fieldhouse on Tulane's campus.
The Greenies will square off against Mississippi Valley State at 7pm CT Friday evening, while playing Rider at 10am and Nicholls State at 7pm on Saturday.
Nicholls State and Mississippi Valley State will kick off the tournament at 10am CT on Friday, followed by a match between Nicholls State and Rider at 4:30pm CT. The game between the two Tulane matches on Saturday will feature Rider and Mississippi Valley State at 4:30pm CT.
Live stats for all matches can be followed on TulaneGreenWave.com, and streaming video of Tulane matches only will be made available through the All-Access page on TulaneGreenWave.com.
Friday and Saturday's tournament marks the 17th time since 1990 that Tulane will hold the Kathy Trosclair Memorial tournament, in memory for one of the greatest coaches in Tulane athletics history. Trosclair won 174 matches during her seven-year stint as head coach from 1981-87. She remains the only Tulane volleyball coach to have led a squad to a 30-win season, having done so in both 1986 and 1987. Unfortunately, Trosclair lost a battle with ovarian cancer shortly after the1987 season.
Tulane is looking to rebound this year after wrapping up the 2012 campaign with a record of 6-21. They return most of their top players from last year, including Preseason All-Conference USA senior Cori Martone. The Greenies will also look for strong performances from senior outside hitters Milena Dragovic and Azarri Badawi, as well as senior setter Mel Mandelbaum, junior middle blocker Anna Wruck, junior right-side Olivia Utt and junior outside hitter/libero Grace Weaver.
On top of the returning players, the Greenies figure to allot playing time to many of the newcomers. Tulane added eight new student-athletes - seven freshmen and one transfer - to provide a significant amount of depth that the team has not seen in recent years.
Mississippi Valley State defeated Philander Smith College in their opening match of the season in three straight sets last Saturday. Taylor Delaire led the way with seven kills, while Halle Gayten added two solo blocks and a block assist.
Nicholls State lost their entire starting six after an 11-19 2012 season. Marley Bean is the top returnee in assists with 117, and Brooke Hopper is the top kills returnee with only 35.
Rider finished 11-17 last season. Bridget Sheerin paced the team with 276 kills, while Nicole Moorman is the top-returning blocker with 56 blocks.
Mississippi Valley State and Rider will be new foes to the Tulane volleyball program, as the Greenies have never faced either squad. Tulane holds a large lead over Nicholls State in the all-time series, winning 53 of the 64 matches. The two teams have not faced off since Aug. 26, 2005, Tulane's lone match at Fogelman Arena that season, due to Hurricane Katrina.
Single game tickets will be available for $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and $4 for children.
For Friday's matches, fans are encouraged to park in the Rosen Lot before 5pm CT, as the Loyola lot will not be available until then. Fans may park in the Loyola lot for Saturday's matches.
Season tickets for Tulane volleyball are $55 for adults and $35 for youth, ages three to 14. For single-game ticket information, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office at (504) 861-WAVE (9283). Group discounts are available when ten or more tickets are purchased.
The Tulane Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the James W. Wilson, Jr. Center and is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For additional information, log onto the official website at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.
Fans can follow the Green Wave volleyball program on Twitter (GreenWaveVB) or on Facebook at facebook.com/GreenWaveVolleyball.

Bible commentator Matthew Henry, after being robbed, wrote this in his diary:
Let me be thankful - first because I was never robbed before. Second, because although they took my wallet they did not take my life. Third, because although they took my all, it was not much. Fourth, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed.

Appearances include TURF, Le Festival d'ete, Ottawa Bluesfest and Osheaga
"For me music is a way to explore human potential. And that's my main interest in life – human potential. Everyone knows there's something inside of us that we're not using. How do we get it? How do we reach it? Every single person knows that there's something and nobody knows what it is. So at one point I said to myself, I'm gonna get down and get it." – Eugene Hutz
Everyone's favourite gypsy-punks Gogol Bordello, led by the incomparable front man Eugene Hutz, return to eastern Canada with major festival appearances this July and August.
The group has been touring the globe since the release of their sixth album, 'Pura Vida Conspiracy,' one year ago, and show no signs of letting up.
Gogol Bordello Canadian Tour Dates
Sun. July 6 — Toronto ON — TURF [5:30 PM East Stage]
Wed. July 9 — Quebec City QC — Le Festival d'ete [9:30 PM Hydro-Quebec Stage]
Thurs. July 10 — Ottawa ON — Bluesfest [6 PM Claridge Homes Stage]
Fri. Aug. 1 — London ON — London Music Hall
Sun. Aug. 3 — Montreal QC — Osheaga [8:20 PM Green Stage]
Gogol Bordello has spent the last decade getting down with that energy Hutz lives for through their meteoric live shows and has earned a solid reputation as "the hottest global touring act to come out of New York (Billboard)" and "the world's most riotous live band (Rolling Stone)."
Their wildly energetic live shows are celebrated by fans worldwide and have brought them to nearly every corner of the globe and to the main stage of festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Roskilde, Rock am Ring, Reading and Leeds to name just a few.
In addition, Gogol Bordello's recordings have earned them critical acclaim worldwide and have attracted some of the most respected collaborators and producers including 2005's Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike, produced by indie legend Steve Albini, 2007's SUPER TARANTA! (produced by Victor Van Vugt) and declared by music critic Robert Christgau as "the best rock album of the decade. Period." and 2010's Trans-Continental Hustle produced by Rick Rubin.
"Few rock figureheads remain so incorruptibly big-hearted, devoted as he is to what critic Robert Christgau once pinpointed as Hutz's 'politics of joy.'" – Spin's review of 'Pura Vida Conspiracy' [8/10]

Two years ago, the highlight of the Coachella festival in California was the hologram form of the late Tupac Shakur. Now a similar feature could appear at the upcoming Billboard Music Awards.
Billboard organizers recently announced an event where the late Michael Jackson will "rise up and appear", during the magazine's music awards on May 18th. How the Jackson comeback would be staged has not been exactly revealed, but it is possible it will be in hologram form, just like Shakur at Coachella. It has been stated as an event where the late King of Pop will be seen "like never before".
The Billboard Music Awards takes place days after the release of Jackson's posthumous album Xscape, which already contains the hit "Love Never Felt So Good".
In other music news, a guitar once owned by George Harrison is among the Beatles and other rock memorabilia heading for sale at Julien's Auction. The guitar is a 1962 Rickenbacker 425, and it is estimated to bring up to around $600,000. Harrison bought the guitar in 1963, at a music store in Illinois, and had it refurnished from a Fireglo red to black, to match a similar Rickenbacker owned by John Lennon.
Along with the Harrison guitar, also going on auction is a Beatles 65 album signed the Fab Four themselves, as well as a Sears Silvertone electric guitar, once owned by Jimi Hendrix.

The execution of convicted murderers Clayton Lockett and Charles Warner are back on track in Oklahoma after a temporary delay due to the two inmates contesting the state in court. Lockett and Warner challenged the state's secrecy provision, which prevents disclosing anyone involved in the execution process or the suppliers of drugs used, as well as the failure of the state to disclose which drugs would be used in the execution.
On April 25, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections announced that Lockett would be executed at 6 p.m. on April 29, with the execution of Warner to follow at 8 p.m. The announcement was made after the Oklahoma Supreme Court lifted the stay of executions and declared the inmates had no right to know the source of the drugs earlier in the week.
The execution of the inmates were originally scheduled for March, but was initially delayed because Oklahoma did not have the proper drugs to carry out the execution.
Lockett, 38, was convicted in 2000 for the 1999 rape and murder of Stephanie Nieman, as well as multiple other convictions. Warner, 46, was convicted in 2003 for the 1997 rape and murder of 11-month-old Adrianna Waller.
According to DeathPenaltyInfo.Org, Oklahoma is tied for 2nd among states in executions since 1976. Oklahoma and Virginia have both executed 110, following Texas with 515 since 1976.
Warner and Lockett will be the 194th and 195th inmates Oklahoma has executed since 1915. Two other inmates have been executed so far in 2014 in the state.
According to the Associated Press, the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty will host a sit-in at Gov. Mary Fallin's office, followed by a vigil at the governor's mansion the day of the execution.

Previous studies have shown that single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) mixed with protamine forms particles and activates immune cells through Toll-like receptors (TLRs). We have found that the size of protamine-RNA particles generated depends on the electrolyte content when mixing the 2 components. Moreover, we have evidenced that (1) nanometric particles induce production of interferon-alpha, whereas (2) micrometric particles mainly induce production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in human immune cells. We found that the mechanisms underlying these observations are (1) nanoparticles but not microparticles are selectively phagocytosed by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which produce interferon-alpha and (2) monocytes that produce TNF-alpha have a higher activation threshold than that of pDCs. Thus, at the same time as sensing pathogen-associated molecular patterns such as ssRNA, the immune system distinguishes the size of the associated structure in such a way as to trigger the adapted antivirus (nanometric) or antibacterial/antifungal (micrometric) immune response. Our results introduce a new dimension in danger signaling--how size qualitatively affects innate response.

Miley Cyrus has been through a whole lot in the past year (such is life as the biggest tween sensation on the planet) and — as is seemingly required by Pop Star Law — most of that experience has ended up on her second album, Breakout. Though if you ask her about it, she prefers to describe the album thusly:
"It's for every teenager, or any woman in general," Cyrus told MTV News when she stopped by last week. "Most of my songs are for the girls who hate their current or ex-boyfriends."
Yes, meet Miley 2.0 (a.k.a. the All Grown-Up Edition), the girl who has survived roughly 1 million Internet rumors; about 500,000 tour dates , movie premieres and TV appearances; and exactly one very public controversy over some racy Vanity Fair photographs , and yet is — at the very heart of things — still just a 15-year-old girl.
While there are portions of Breakout (which hits stores Tuesday) that deal with the crush of celebrity and life in the spotlight, the majority of the record focuses on the kinds of things that concern the average 15-year-old: namely, hookups and heartbreak and everything in between.
"I hope [fans] can just take a way a lot from what I've learned … like it says, it's a 'breakout' record. It kind of explains what I've been going through, so it's kind of a love song/ breakup record," Cyrus explained. "It's very kind of everywhere. You have to follow me on this one; you have to believe me that it's going to turn out great, that it does go together, because it's very wishy-washy, very back and forth."
Case in point: The album's first single, "7 Things," is a textbook breakup tune (the chorus features Cyrus listing off the seven things she hates about her ex) that also happens to be filled with remorse (the tune ends with a list of all the things Cyrus loved about the same ex). The lesson is that there are very few cut-and-dry situations in life, no matter how famous you are. It's one that Cyrus had to learn the hard way, and though she swears she's put the whole photogate thing behind her, she freely admits that it'll probably stay with her for as long as she remains firmly entrenched atop the tween-pop world.
"I think I've learned to just be a little more careful and really remember that for every action, there's a reaction," she said. "I have kept my heart guarded, for sure, because that is something you have to do for life in general, to make sure you don't get hurt.
"But also, I'm trying to not become callous, so that I can't feel," she continued. "Make sure your heart is there, but you know, not as open — be who you are, be able to say no. It's tough, but I think if you can do that, and do it gracefully, then it's awesome."
So, she's trying to walk the fine line between celebrity and normalcy, and you'll have to forgive her if she stumbles again in the future, just like you would any other 15-year-old on the planet. Of course, Cyrus is also very aware that she's not like most of her peers, which is why she's also set a new goal for herself.
"My main goal — and it's a big goal to take on — was that I want to change the world," she says. "And I think if everyone has that mind-set, to wake up every day and go, 'I want to change the world; I want to make a difference,' then that's what it's all about."

PULLMAN - The Washington State volleyball team (12-15, 4-13) lost to No. 5 California (24-4, 14-4) with set scores of 26-24, 25-20, 25-22 Friday night before 1,111 fans, the largest crowd of the season in Bohler Gym.
WSU senior Meagan Ganzer led the match with 19 kills and contributed seven digs, two blocks and one ace. She was the lone Cougar in double figure kills. Camryn Irwin had 33 assists and Jordan Levenseller has 10 digs. Marcelina Glab added four kills, two aces and two blocks.
The Golden Bears were led by Tarah Murrey's 16 kills and three blocks. Shannon Hawari led the match with five blocks and Elly Barrett had 37 assists and four blocks. Correy Johnson contributed three service aces. Cal hit .340 for the match and out-blocked the Cougars eight to four.
"Obviously California is a great team," Cougar Head Coach Jen Greeny said. "I thought we did some things very well tonight, especially in the first set. I thought we came out with the right energy, intensity and attitude. We just made those small mistakes at the wrong times when we couldn't afford to make them. I thought Meagan Ganzer had a great night especially offensively and we just need more to go along with that to be able to upset these top-ranked teams."
In the first set WSU took an early 4-0 lead Cal tied it up at eight points, the first of eight ties in the set. WSU stayed close with late set play from Irwin contributing a setter's dump and an ace from defensive specialist Shawna Lum. Ganzer laced her ninth kill of the opener right down center court to knot up the score at 24. After a timeout by the Bears, Adrienne Gehan landed a kill to put the visitors serving for set point. Ganzer's attack on the next play went into the net and Cal took the 26-24 win.
The second set was tightly contested with WSU in the lead until Cal tied the score at 13 points. The Bears went up 20-16 before Cougar receiving errors and a very balanced offensive attack by Cal gave the Bears the 25-20 win.
The third set saw nine ties with the final knot coming at 18-all. WSU could not mount a strong offensive charge and when combined with the four successful attacks by Murrey, California took the 25-22 win.
Washington State hosts No. 3 Stanford (19-5, 13-5) Sunday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. in Bohler Gym. The Cardinal lost 3-2 to Washington Friday night in Seattle.

Kristen Bell
Huntington Woods, Michigan
"I'm carded for R-rated movies. And I get talked down to a lot. When I try to go rent a car or buy an airplane ticket or other stuff adults do, I get 'Okaaaaaay, honey.' I remember when I was 18, getting crayons in a restaurant."
-Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell is best known for playing the title character in the drama series Veronica Mars, and in 2007 she started the recurring role of Elle Bishop on the hit show Heroes. She has also hit the big screen with the flicks Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), starred in Couples Retreat (2009), with Jason Bateman and Jon Favreau, and lent her voice to the animated box office hit, Frozen (2013).
Recently she's been further exercising her comedic acting muscle alongside Amy Poehler on TV show, Parks and Recreation.
Recently she's been further exercising her comedic acting muscle alongside Amy Poehler on TV show, Parks and Recreation.
Kristen Bell had some bit roles on a few TV dramas in addition to appearing in several Broadway musicals like The Crucible. However, it was her performances in big-screen and made-for-TV movies that really started to turn some heads and get her noticed. In fact, Kristen Bell has been nominated for several awards and she won a Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television (Veronica Mars) and a Jury Prize award for Best Supporting Actress (Roman), in addition to two other victories.
After Veronica Mars ended, Kristen Bell's star power only got stronger as she landed a role on the ever popular Heroes and lent her voice as the narrator of Gossip Girl. In 2008, she jumped onto the big screen in Fanboys and Forgetting Sarah Marshall and then in Couples Retreat in 2009. Kristen Bell's success on both screens has also helped her land roles in When in Rome about a woman who's unlucky streak in love changes on a trip to the Italian city, as well as Frozen and her upcoming role in the star studded, Unity.
Kristen Bell BiographyKristen Anne Bell was born near Detroit, Michigan, on July 18, 1980. Like her former character Veronica Mars, Kristen Bell knows what it's like to come from a broken home: Her parents split when she was just two years old.
Her mother started checking out modeling agencies after several people said her daughter would look great in pictures. Before her 13th birthday, Kristen Bell had an agent and began to appear in newspaper advertisements for several Detroit retailers, including Kmart. In little time, these snowballed into TV commercials and private acting lessons.
Before she graduated from a Catholic high school near the Motor City, she sang as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. After graduation, Kristen Bell headed to the Big Apple to attend the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Just three years later, in 2001, she made her Broadway debut as Becky Thatcher in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. In 2002, she appeared on Broadway in The Crucible, opposite Liam Neeson and Laura Linney.

Kristen Bell took her act to Los Angeles and scored a few guest-starring roles, appearing on Everwood, American Dreams and The Shield in 2003. In 2004, she was in the cable film Gracie's Choice, playing a girl forced to help raise her sickly siblings while her mother tries to overcome a drug addiction. That same year, Kristen Bell played the president's kidnapped daughter in director David Mamet's thriller Spartan.

Then, Veronica Mars came along with the role that thrust Kristen Bell into stardom. Veronica was a 17-year-old high school student who went from "in crowd" to outcast almost overnight. The show ran from September 2004 to May 2007. That same year she ended a five-year relationship with former fiancee Kevin Mann. Shortly after the cancellation of Veronica Mars, Bell filmed on-location in Hawaii for her starring role as the title character in the Judd Apatow hit comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and as they say, the rest is history.
kristen bell is named no. 59 in 2008 top 99Kristen Bell's TV stints filled 2007. She became the narrator on the hit show Gossip Girl and she also landed the role of Elle Bishop on the wildly popular TV drama Heroes. You might think that the flame that is Hayden Panettiere would outshine all who stand next to her, but Kristen added her own touch that acted as a beacon for red-blooded men the world over. As if her relatively small but crucial role on the ensemble show Heroes wasn't enough, 2008 also saw Kristen complete work on the Star Wars-driven Fanboys and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
And all her hard work paid off when she was voted AskMen's No. 59 Most Desirable Women of 2008.

In 2009, she starred in the comedy Serious Moonlight with Meg Ryan and the dramatic romantic comedy When in Rome with Will Arnett and Josh Duhamel, as well as You Again and Burlesque. But what solidified Bell's position as a serious big screen actress were her roles in the hit comedies Couples Retreat alongside Vince Vaughn, Malin Akerman and Jon Favreau as well as her reprised role as Sarah Marshall for a cameo appearance in Get Him to the Greek alongside Russell Brand.
She jumped from No. 59 on our 2008 edition of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women list to No. 9 on our 2009 iteration and made the list again in 2010.
You can catch Kristen on the small screen as Jeannie van der Hooven on House of Lies and as Ingrid de Forest on Parks and Recreation and on the big screen in the upcoming films Unity and the Veronica Mars movie.

Annapolis Royal and area are branching out in the blog world. Over the past few months, we have quietly been working with a number of our partner organizations to create a blog which will discuss Annapolis Royal as a tourism destination. This blog will feature material from the Annapolis Heritage Society as well as our local Parks Canada sites (Fort Anne, Port Royal and Kejimkujik), the Historic Gardens, Upper Clements Park and our many other local attractions. There will even be some posts by me over there. Our goal is to show potential visitors just how much there is to do in the Annapolis Royal area. Hopefully we can convince a few more people to come to our area this summer or give people a reason to stay a bit longer. This will also be a good source for locals trying to see what is going on in the area.
Tomorrow, at the Experience Digby Annapolis Tourism Showcase we are going to be unveiling our new blog. Since I am going to be busy working at the event, (wearing my Loyalist period costume no less) I am posting a link to the site tonight. So, without further ado, I am happy to present the Attractions Annapolis blog.
Our image today is another somewhat random picture. This one is of three local ladies in costume at North Hills Museum last summer.
All for now,

We have no business whatsoever of accusing the 'left' that facts confuse them when WE can not get our facts straight. We have no business of accusing the 'left' of spreading fear when WE do exactly the same.
The following is making the rounds over the internet again.
The 46 Senators Voted to Destroy Us?
We came four votes away from the U.S. Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
For the 'information deprived' among us, the above paragraph is frightening. But lets look at the actual facts that might help these folks.
First of all, an actual vote on the UN Arm Trade Treaty (ATT) never happened. What did happen is that these 46 Senators were voting on the BUDGET of which the Sen Inhofe [R-OK] Amendment was attached.
Now, lets do some basic number crunching. Don't worry, this is basic addition and subtraction. Not rocket science.
There are 61 Senators who are on record opposing the ATT. That leaves 39 other Senators to be considered. You subtract that 39 from the so called 46 and we are left with 7. What this means is that there must be at least 7 of the 46 who are on record as opposing the ATT and these are Democrats.
Lets now look at this Constitutionally, but more importantly the Senate Rules. The Senate rules state that a 2/3 majority of those Senators 'Elected and Sworn' are needed for 'Advice and Consent' of the Senate for any treaty. This means that all we need is 34 votes opposing for this to fail. Well, since it appears that there are at least 61 on record opposing, this will never pass. To put this into perspective, although there are 61 already opposing, the total we need to defeat is only 34 votes. That's 27 votes, at a bare minimum over the top to defeat the ATT. That number could be even higher.
Although SoS John Kerry sign this treaty on behalf of the US, his signature is absolutely worthless. His signature only facilitated getting the treaty passed to the Senate. So this begs the question. 'Why hasn't this come to the floor of the Senate'? Well it's only too obvious. If Harry Reid did bring it to the floor, the resounding defeat would be political suicide. Dingy Harry is not dumb.
This is not the first instance that we have failed in our knowledge, or failed in our research as pointed out by the National Gun Right Examiner, David Codrea, here and here and here.
Of course, the above numbers could change dramatically with the mid term elections.
Make your vote count. VOTE !!!
Lastly, this all happened in March 2013. As of this writing, this is almost a year old.

CARBONDALE, Ill. - This is the latest installment of our monthly feature called, "Ask the AD." If you have questions for Saluki Director of Athletics Mario Moccia, feel free to submit them by e-mail.
E-Mail a question to Mario Moccia
Are there any tickets available for the game at Purdue that will put me in a section with other Salukis?
Yes, we have tickets for the Purdue game which will be in the section they have designated for our fans. You can purchase the tickets from our tickets office by calling 877-salukis or siusalukis.com. The Alumni Association also has packages for this event that consists of tickets and a pre-game event. In fact, the local Chapter representative is former Saluki quarterback, Paul McIntosh. I look forward to seeing you there.
With the Homecoming Game scheduled for 6 p.m., how will that affect the timing of other Homecoming activities, such as the parade?
According to Don Castle, associate director of the Student Center, who oversees the Homecoming & Family Weekend committee, the parade time will not change from its traditional 10 a.m. start time.
With the non conference basketball schedule announced I was disappointed that there was not an opportunity for Saluki fans to "double dip" with an afternoon football game and evening basketball game (like last year with ISU/SLU). Do you keep opportunities like this in mind when scheduling or does this come about by chance?
We certainly do. With schedules set in advance for both sports, sometimes these dates match up and sometimes they don't. There are aspects of the doubleheader that I like, which is the opportunity for the out of town fan to take in both games in one trip, but some people have let us know it makes for too long of a day for them. With that said it is much more of a luck of the draw than a planned event.

Going into the men's slalom competition on Saturday, February 22 to complete the alpine skiing portion of these Olympics in Sochi, the American name on everyone's lips was Ted Ligety.
After the race, however, that name has been changed to Nolan Kasper, a 24-year-old Dartmouth student who backed up his 18th place first run with a second run to finish in 13th place overall in his first Olympics.
This was on a course designed by Croatian skiing legend Ante Kostelic that felled over 50 skiers alone on this men's slalom course -- including American superstar Ted Ligety.
The best Ligety would get on this day was sixth on his first run -- before he skied off course in his second run -- he of the flawless giant slalom performance that earned him a gold medal several days earlier.
"I knew the course was falling apart and everybody was watching guy after guy fall or blow out. You've just got to keep fighting," Kasper said in his post-race press conference. "You don't really think when you're going down the course, and I just wanted to try to have a good rest of my run. Obviously, my splits were pretty good and so I think besides the falls it was a positive experience."
Kasper blasted down the hill in 48:70 on his first run. But an over-skied course combined with difficult turns made for a 55:52 split time on his second run -- still 10th fastest on such a treacherous course.
Kasper had only finished one World Cup race this year prior to these Olympics and came into Sochi ranked 35th in the world.
In 2011 he tore his ACL and the following year saw him tear a hip muscle -- both during competition.
After the manner in which he skied in the Caucasus though, you would be wise to think that Kasper's best skiing may be ahead.
"Nolan has not been skiing well. He's missed 250 days of skiing in the past two and a half years. That's a lot of training days. And for him to come out here and do what he did today–hats off to him," said his coach, Sasha Rearick.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Danielle Gregorio has been filming the show with the other ladies, but there have been no episodes airing of her. And yet, there are plenty of rumors regarding her in the press. And one of those rumors appear to be about her husband, Joe Gregorio. Some stories claim that he is supposedly gay. According to a new statement from their publicist from March 3, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Danielle Gregorio's publicist, Hunter Frederick, has now issued an exclusive statement to squash any rumors regarding her marriage.
"Frederick & Associates would like to publicly state that our firm has been retained by Joe Gregorio, husband of Danielle Gregorio, rumored cast member of Real Housewives of Orange County," reads the statement. "Rumors regarding Joe's sexuality and that he is gay are false and untrue. Joe is a loving husband and father to his three children and has never been unfaithful to Danielle during their time together. Joe takes these defamatory statements against him, his wife and his family very seriously and is exploring any and all legal options to eradicate them."
It sounds like this reality couple is just learning what kind of stories they will have to deal with. But there have been no evidence of him being gay, so it is safe to say that he is dedicated to his marriage and dedicated to his wife and children. It will be interesting to see how Danielle handles being on this very dramatic show.
What do you think of these silly stories?

A First-Class Goldmine as Tarantino Flies Commerical
By Doug Cameron
Do you believe? Cher flies commercial. Quentin Tarantino too. Welcome to First Class.
JetBlue this week launched its transcontinental first-class service, deliberately aimed and priced away from the celebrity set, but there's still a small band of longhaul high-flyers prepared to shell out thousands of dollars for upfront comfort rather than use a mere private jet.
Airlines are generally guarded about their celebrity cargo, but Lufthansa revealed a couple during a recent media briefing. Cher, the 60's songstress turned 90's songstress, filled most of one Lufthansa first-class cabin when she was joined by an entourage of five others on a transatlantic flight.
Quentin Tarantino was another fixture, his in-flight experience probably rather different than that offered by the fictional Cabalas Airlines in the director's movie 'Jackie Brown.'
The German flag carrier has cut the number of first-class seats on its planes to eight, and is among a shrinking band to retain the offering at all, with many rivals opting to drop it entirely and focus on an improved business-class product.
However, first class remains a central part of Lufthansa's product, including a dedicated terminal at its Frankfurt hub, with sports cars to whisk you to the plane.
Here's why: Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, says the first-class long-haul market is growing at 13% a year. That's more than twice the lick of the overall airline industry, with passenger traffic seen up 5.6% this year, according to the International Air Transport Association.
Emirates carried about 500,000 passengers over the past year, and Mr. Clark's best guess is that the global market for those willing and able to pay for first class is about a million people.

On Saturday, March 29, 2014, most of the main NHL Western conference contenders and hopefuls were in action. Anaheim, Los Angeles, Dallas, Minnesota, and Colorado all posted wins. The Chicago Blackhawks were idle.
With all teams having eight games or less remaining in the regular season, here is a quick look at the best of the west.
The Contenders -
St. Louis Blues: The Blues have all but clinched the Central division crown, and are only one point behind the Boston Bruins in the race for the (basically meaningless) President's trophy. Back in the day, finishing with the best regular season record, was it's own reward. Home ice advantage was enough, until Commissioner Gary Bettman decided that an obligatory trophy was also in order. It is what it is, so be it. This is the best St. Louis team since the Ken Hitchcock era began, in the midst of the 2011-12 season. The acquisition of All-star goalie Ryan Miller just few days before the trade deadline, was meant to be the final piece of the puzzle. The only downside may be that having clinched a playoff berth, and having been in the driver's seat for the division so early, may wind up affecting the team's intensity come playoff time. It has happened to teams before, a great regular season, followed by a week or two of "it doesn't really matter if they win or lose" type games, spells postseason doom. It'll be up to the coach, and the veteran leaders to make sure the focus is still there in mid-April.
Chicago Blackhawks: The defending Stanley Cup champs have had a few peaks and valleys this season. Definitely dangerous, and capable of repeating, they are currently dealing with the loss of puckhandling wizard Patrick Kane. Kane is expected back in time for the playoffs, and as long as the chemistry remains, they should be fine. They also boast possibly the best blueline in the West. The only achilles heel, could be if 37 year-old center Michal Handzus suddenly starts showing his age at the wrong time. Even so, this is going to be a tough team to beat. They are all but guaranteed to face Colorado in the first round. As it stands now, Colorado would have home-ice advantage.
Anaheim Ducks: Proved to everyone that last season was not a fluke. The Ducks are battling San Jose for the division crown, and are just a few points back of St. Louis and Boston, in the race for the President's trophy. Anaheim is solid, and shored up the blueline, by adding veteran Stephane Robidas to replace injured Sheldon Souray. Center Ryan Getzlaf is having a great season, as is his wingman Corey Perry. Saku Koivu and Nick Bonino are solid centers, but can they do what it takes to win the 16 most important games of the season ? Koivu is 39 years old, and Bonino is a solid, but primarily third line-type center. The other question could be secondary scoring. Jakob Silfverberg was acquired in the Bobby Ryan trade, and started the season well, but has since battled injuries and confidence issues, seemingly all season long. Other than that, the defensive corps is fine, and Jonas Hiller is strong in goal. As previously mentioned, scoring depth will be the key to their playoff success.
San Jose Sharks: Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture, the list goes on. This is a high-octane lineup which still cannot not shake the label of "playoff chokers". The label was applied after they the President's trophy in 2009, and then lost to Anaheim in the first round of playoffs. They did make the Conference final in 2010 and 2011, but somehow never really got any credit for it. Make no mistake, the Sharks are still a force to be reckoned with. Thornton and Marleau are a bit long in the tooth, but the emergence of other forwards, such as Tommy Wingels, Brent Burns, and rookie Tomas Hertl, provide insurance the team will remain strong as they transition into a new era. Either this team or the Ducks will face the Los Angeles Kings, in the first round of the 2014 playoffs.
*Los Angeles Kings: Recently, the Kings have really found their game. Goalie Jonathan Quick has played near-flawlessly in goal since returning from the Olympics. They also have been getting help from an unexpected source, as defenseman Alec Martinez has suddenly emerged as an offensive force. Martinez has 6 goals and 5 assists in his last 14 games, after having scored just 4 goals and 3 assists in the previous 39 games. The trade deadline acquisition of Marian Gaborik has also worked out very well. Anze Kopitar, Mike Richards, and Jarrett Stoll form the strongest center-ice trio in the West. Riding a six-game win streak, the Kings provide incentive for both Anaheim and San Jose to win the Pacific division in order to avoid this first round matchup. Do not take this third-place team lightly.
*Kings have yet to clinch a playoff berth, but it is becoming increasingly unlikely that they will finish lower than third place in the division.
The Hopefuls:
Colorado Avalanche: Their speed and talent is undeniable. Definitely a worthy playoff team, but unfortunately probably will not survive a first round matchup with the Blackhawks. Most likely, the experience and toughness of Chicago will be more than this team is ready to handle at this stage. The future looks bright, but Avs are probably still a couple years away from being true contenders.
Minnesota Wild: Should clinch a playoff spot soon. Though that will also signal a return to being a perennial playoff team, they are not yet showing enough consistency to have expectations of a deep playoff run. As a wildcard team, a matchup with St. Louis, San Jose, or Anaheim, awaits.
Dallas Stars: Head coach Lindy Ruff had the team playing some great hockey for much of the season, but a recent swoon, combined with a surge by the Phoenix Coyotes, has put them on the playoff bubble. Postseason action is far from guaranteed. It is probably going to come down to the final day of the season.
Phoenix Coyotes: Making a late push for the postseason, but have lost goalie Mike Smith for at least another week. Two wildcard spots are up for grabs, and only 3 points separate the Coyotes, Wild, and Stars.

Where in the World is Cruise Critic?
January 27, 2014 | By Cruise Critic | 1 Comment
Cruise Critic staffers set sail every week, traveling the globe to bring you the latest cruise ship trends, port sneak peeks and onboard observations. Here's where we are this week.
(Got questions about any of the ships we're boarding? Ask us in the comments!)
Ship: Norwegian Getaway
Where: Cruise to nowhere, leaving from New York City
Who: Ashley Kosciolek, Associate Editor
Why There? Norwegian Getaway, the line's newest ship, has arrived in New York en route to its Miami homeport. We'll be onboard for two days to preview the ship before its christening and inaugural sailing next week.
We Can't Wait: Although Getaway is nearly a carbon copy of sister ship Norwegian Breakaway, I'm excited to check out some of the new additions, including the Illusionarium's supernatural magic show, a live performance of "Legally Blonde: The Musical," the Miami-themed Sunset Bar and the pirate-themed plank, which takes passengers out above the water on a beam (with the support of a safety harness, of course).
Please share this post!

I have always imagined the Cruise Critic to be sipping on a cocktail on the deck of an amazing cruise ship vaping with an e-cig just going with the flow. A nice ocean breeze with the sun shining and the sound of the wide open water with an occasion bird in the distance.

One of the most popular games on Ipod and Android have been Temple Run. You take six characters and navigate your way through a temple environment, dodging gaps, trees, and flames on your quest to gain the highest score. You can also obtain coins that can be used to purchase power ups, such as coin magnets, speed bursts, invisibility, and coin packs. Well, now take that same game concept, and apply it to Rail Rush Worlds. In this game, you are riding a rail cart, and dodging signs, gaps, and other obstacles. Along the way, you collect gold that can be exchanged for power ups, including heroes, cart items, and extra stuff.
Gameplay: Rail Rush Worlds plays similar to Temple Run; you are navigating through different worlds, dodging obstacles, and collecting gold. The variety of worlds in this game is really impressive; the first world is an old mine, where you go underground and avoid signs and gaps. The next world is a snow land, filled with Christmas trees and light bulbs. You will find yourself running from ghosts and goblins in the horror land world. The next world looks like a pipe factory, decorated with all kinds of pipes. In the undersea world, sharks and many other animals roam around. Travel back to the prehistoric era by visiting the Jurassic jungle. Pharaoh's tomb resembles an ancient tomb. The most exciting part about playing this game is trying to miss the signs and gaps.
Controls: Once you start in the chosen world, press the left arrow key to jump to a left rail. The right arrow key will make the cart jump to a right rail. When you see an sign on the rail, press the up arrow key to jump over the sign. Sometimes a sign might be high, and you have to use the down arrow key to duck under the sign. As you are riding through a world, gold will appear; the a key is used to collect gold on the left, and the d key is used to collect gold on the right.
Game Mechanics: The cart rides really smoothly, and progresses at a steady pace throughout the level. The one power up that is similar to Temple Run in this game is the magnet; when this power up is activated the gold will come right to you. Other cool power ups are rams and grids that will destroy the sign obstacles. You have the choice of a wooden, iron, or steel ram or grid. There are also wooden, steel, and iron spikes that eliminate side wood obstacles. The extra items really help you in tough situations, like the dynamite, which destroys objects for 200 meters.
This game is really fun and is great when you are waiting for someone. The gameplay is nice and smooth, and the power ups give you a better score. The worlds look really clear in 3D; every world has it's own look and feel, and has a different theme.

All my life I have been making things. My mother and grandmother were expert seamstresses and they handed down that love of DIY.
As a child I started out doing cross stitch, quilting, beading and friendship bracelets. I learned how to knit after college and found that I can't do anything without a project in my bag!
I love making things that inspire people.

Yamashiro-onsen Hot Spring
Yamashiro-onsen is the largest among the hot springs located among the three prefectures of the Hokuriku area, having a long history spanning over 1300 years. It is said that its origin goes back to 725, when a holy priest named Gyoki found a crow healing its wounds in the spring water. The town expands with "Yamashiro-onsen Yokuden" at its center, a communal bath used also by local people, and promotes a nostalgic atmosphere with its old inns with their bright sanguine lattices, and private houses. You can enjoy drinking the famous waters called "Otoko-shozu (male's freshwater)" and "Onna-shozu (female"s freshwater)" and continue by visiting many spots including a park called "Ruriko" which also has a hot spring.
5 min ride by bus from JR Kaga-onsen Station (Hokuriku Line).
Yamashiro-onsen, Kaga, Ishikawa

Got DD in her costume (without face makeup, which will be done on Halloween night...we will add a little black nose and whiskers with eyeliner):
All the LOs are adorable in their costumes. I just love seeing LOs dressed up at Halloween.
DD is going to be an American Indian (I'm half american indian). It was the only costume I could think of that didn't really require a hat or head piece. I am making it....so far DD loves it when I show it to her. Will post pic when I get it all done. :)
I will post a picture of my DD in her costume but she is taking her nap right now and I haven't even put her in it yet lol.
Me + DH Tied the knot 2/11/2012 - Together since 3/16/2010
DD - 6/19/2011 - Our little Princess
DH's folks sent us this costume for Lizzie:
Only the pants are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too big on her, so I'm looking to get a black tutu or floofy black skirt and some red tights for her. She's also got a plastic sword/knife that she loves. xD
The shirt's a little long on her, so it actually looks like a jacet from the right time period, too. xD
Lizardbreath Smooshyface strikes again!
Oh, yeah? Well, my kid sleeps with a dragon.
OOOOOOO I wanna play.. And I havent posted in forever.... Here is my little man...
Ok, so technically this isn't going to be DD's Halloween costume, but we have used it as such. My MIL sewed us this candy corn dress. It has worked out well for when I wanted DD to be comfortable and in costume, too! She is going to be a cat for Halloween. I don't have a picture yet.
I love all of these!!!

T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S also available starting today
It's not only Verizon that released a super Android phone today in the US: T-Mobile's Samsung Vibrant is also available, making T-Mo the first North American carrier to offer the Galaxy S.
With a 2-yr contract agreement, the Vibrant costs $199.99 – just like Verizon's Droid X, although the no contract price of T-Mo's handset is lower: $499.99.
You probably already know this, but the Vibrant Galaxy S (which can already be rooted) runs Android 2.1 and features a 4 inch WVGA Super AMOLED display, Wi-Fi, Google Maps with free navigation, 1GHz processor, and 5MP camera with HD video recording. Preloaded on the handset (or on a memory card) you'll find James Cameron's Avatar, The Sims 3 Collector's Edition, MobiTV, Slacker Radio, GoGo Inflight Internet, and Kindle for Android.
T-Mobile sells the Samsung Vibrant online, and it most likely offers it through its retail stores, too.
Next to introduce the Galaxy S in the US is probably AT&T – its Captivate should be out in three days from now (July 18). Verizon's Samsung Fascinate and Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G (the only Galaxy S with a QWERTY keyboard) should be available pretty soon as well.

Allen Bailey will play where defensive line needs him
CORAL GABLES _ Senior Allen Bailey will start the season at defensive end.
He will likely also play defensive tackle.
Just call him a hybrid, because that's the thinking of the UM coaches.
In reality, coach Randy Shannon would love for Bailey to play all season at end. We just don't know if it will happen. With injuries so common, Bailey could shift to tackle based on team need. Last year the Hurricanes used Bailey and end Steven Wesley at tackles because of injuries.
"Guys get comfortable playing positions, so you don't have to worry about it," Shannon said. "Now, by me saying that, like anything, toward the season, you'll get your four best pass rushers on the field, no matter who they are … I'm not saying that he's not going to play inside. I'm not going to say he's going to stay outside."
It's been the story of Bailey's career. He goes where he is needed. The good news for UM is he's excelled everywhere. What's even better is Bailey's attitude. He has no problem with it. Although he would prefer staying at end, he's just as comfortable on the inside.
"I'm fine with it," Bailey said. "But who knows? You never know where you might be needed at."
A few thoughts:
–There's a strong possibility All-ACC cornerback Brandon Harris will miss Saturday's Spring Game at Traz Powell Stadium. Shannon confirmed Harris has missed practice this week because of injury. A source said Harris is suffering from hamstring problems. Without Harris, this should give sophomore Brandon McGee an opportunity.
–Defensive end Adewale Ojomo has dealt with weight issues since suffering a broken jaw last year, but is handling it by increasing his leg strength. Ojomo's weight dropped from 240 to 215 after his jaw was wired shut for a few weeks. He's now back up to 250, and said he's lost no speed because of an improved squat. It jumped from 405 to 465.
–Safety Jamal Reid said he arrived for spring with a new attitude. He was overconfident last year, which led to him slacking in film sessions and falling behind the other defensive backs. After a humbling redshirt year, Reid is once again focused. Check Thursday's paper for more on Reid's new outlook.

This is one of those questions that has a million web sites explaining how simple it is, but for some reason I'm living in some edge case that is being difficult.
First the details:
Mac is running OSX 10.7.5, File Sharing is enabled, both AFP and SMB sharing are enabled, and both of the users that appear under SMB ("Administrator" and "Guest") are enabled for SMB sharing.
Both the Mac and the Windows machines are on a LAN where most user accounts come from a Network Account Server (OD).
From Windows, I try to connect to the shared drive on the Mac, and it asks me for a username/password, but nothing works. I've tried Admin/password, Administrator/password, Guest/password, and various combinations of my actual Windows login (crokkerb/password) which the OD server recognizes but the Mac apparently doesn't.
I am guessing that (1) even though I type in the correct username/password for the two accounts the Mac does know about ("Administrator" and "Guest"), somehow I can't gain access using those accounts, and (2) the Mac isn't populating the list of users (for SMB access) from the OD server.
Suggestions on what else I can try here?
p.s. Bonus points for a solution that lets me connect to this shared drive without having to type in any username/password.

This week, Redskins General Manager Bruce Allen made clear that the Redskins intend to emphasis a return to the team-centered approach from which the organization drifted during last year's' disastrous 3-13 campaign. Allen touched on this and many other areas of interest to Redskins fans at this week's Chalk Talk sessions at Redskins Park.
Allen spoke to the recent franchise tag designation given to Brian Orakpo. While the Skins GM understood the drawbacks of allocating so much money and cap space to a player with an injury history, Allen expressed appreciation for what Brian had accomplished as a Redskin, pointing to his placement already on the Redskins History Wall that players can see daily at Redskins Park, as well as his potential for success here as he enters what should be his prime playing days.
Allen indicated that this significant of a payday (in the $11 million range) for one player could have the wrong impact on current players, who Allen half-jokingly said know the salary cap and who's getting paid what better than any NFL GM. Allen expressed his concern that if you overpay the wrong guys, you take the heart out of the rest of the team. He's glad about Deangelo Hall's new deal, one that he feels works well for both parties. Allen noted that rewarding Orakpo fits in with the organization's planned focus on developing the players the Redskins draft rather than team-building via free agency.
The first fan question at the Chalk Talk I attended concerned the team's offseason priorities. Allen indicated it's clear that both the offensive and defensive lines need to be bolstered. On offense, boosting the line would obviously enhance the "skill position" players already in place. As a model, Allen pointed to Seattle's rotation of seven defensive linemen, which added to overall health (which the Skins DL lacked last year) and helped the play of the team's linebacking corps and secondary.
Allen said the Redskins would "dabble in free agency, but we've got to establish a new base here." He said the team will see where the market goes, but that their draft picks and undrafted free agents will have to come in and develop. He said free agency decisions go back to the salary cap issues involved in trying to sign Orakpo: "Next year pays" for what happens this year. Allen emphasized that were they to exhaust all of this year's available cap space, next year's players have no chance of being rewarded (at least in a Redskins uniform).
As far as draft strategy, Allen stated that the front office works off of player grades and will not vary off the board and reach for a need, though they can select for need if there are players available of the same grade. The front office feels that there is wide receiver and defensive back depth throughout the upcoming draft. He also thinks there should be opportunities to trade down and accumulate later picks while still getting high-graded prospects. Allen says newly-hired Doug Williams, who he deems a great "reader of people" and carries current knowledge of today's players with his college coaching experience, will be very helpful in the evaluation process of both college players and pro free agents.
When a fan asked whether the 3-4 should be the Skins' preferred defensive alignment going forward when the team has some players like Orakpo who figure to excel in a 4-3 defensive scheme, Allen indicated that the 3-4 would be the preferred alignment, especially on early downs. As Allen said, "The 3-4 gives you options in run defense that the 4-3 doesn't. We'll be both, [and] we'll get the players that fit both." Allen said that on critical plays like "3rd and 5, 3rd and 7," the defense will be rushing at least four players; "too frequently we only rushed three guys, and allowed [the opposition] to make plays."

How to distribute k points inside a disc so to minimize the distance of any point inside the disc to the closest of the k points? Does this problem have a name? Is the solution a famous sequence of geometric graphs?
This is the (finite) covering problem in the plane. According to Boroczky's book "Finite packing and covering", the answer is only known (provably) up to $k = 10$, due to the work of K. Bezdek and G. Fejes Toth. I don't know if the solutions are a famous sequence of geometric graphs.

Monserrate's Opponent Puts the Pressure on Gays
If he doesn't win, gay marriage is probably finished.
A couple of nights ago, Jose Peralta, the Democratic nominee for Hiram Monserrate's former State Senate seat, told a Queens gay group that if they can't get him elected next week, well, they're probably never going to get married. "If we are not victorious on March 16 then everybody will sort of fill up their chests and say it was a lot of hot air," Peralta said, referring to the vow of gay-rights groups to punish Democrats, such as Monserrate, who voted against the same-sex marriage bill. "I think that's why March 16 is the litmus test." Right if a guy with the backing of the entire Democratic establishment can't figure out a way to defeat a disgraced alleged girlfriend-slasher, it's the gays' fault. Anyway, it's really a moot point since a new Siena poll out today shows Peralta with a commanding 60–15 lead over Monserrate. (Phew.)

Released: Jan 01st, 2005
Running Time: 55
Company: Starr Productions
Cast: Crystal White, Kitten Deville, Ron Jeremy, Elizabeth Starr, Others
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Alternative
Fans of old-time tease and those who want to roll back the clock a little will be pleased.
Burlesque is back in style these days, and there's a great reason for it. Long, luscious teasing gets to the root of what makes men's minds go all fuzzy when a beautiful woman walks through the door. So, it's no wonder that porn has gotten in on the act, getting back to the source to validate the trend. It's a fantastic idea.
Unfortunately, it's not so great. Although watching Ron Jeremy do standup is one of life's great unintentional joys, there's a sense that this is the blueprint for something really great, and, for that reason only, it deserves a view. Next time, however, if more attention is paid to the production and the quality of the entertainment therein, it should be a no-brainer for some sort of award.
For now, we're going to have to content ourselves with this very admirable, however average, attempt. Kudos to Starr Productions for thinking outside the box.

In the NFL, head trauma and other injuries are no joke. How does a team's medical staff know which call to make after a nasty blow? Can technology help them to know whether it's best to leave a player in the game or send him to the showers?

As part of a broader Surface on the Sidelines initiative, the X2 app is one of the best examples we've seen of how a professional-focused PC like the Surface Pro could potentially be used to actually change the way people work.Read More

The former Chelsea centre-back, who also served under Jose Mourinho at Porto and Real Madrid, believes returning to Stamford Bridge is the right move for the 50-year-oldRicardo Carvalho, who left Chelsea to join up with Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid in 2010, feels Stamford Bridge is the best place for his former boss and has tipped him to succeed.
Mourinho was officially unveiled on Monday to start his second tenure at the club he won six pieces of silverware in a little over three season, including two Premier League titles.
And Carvalho, who believes Mourinho will bring the title back to Chelsea after a three-year absence, has backed the 50-year-old to hit the ground running after a difficult spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.
|Chelsea are 10/1 with Coral to win the Champions League next season
"He has the respect of everybody at Chelsea, the fans love him and the players know how he works. He is a great coach and gets results. Chelsea can improve their consistancy in the league and I think he will do that."
Carvalho - who recently signed for free-spending Monaco - says the Blues were still firmly in his heart after racking up over 200 appearances for the club, winning three Premier League titles and three FA Cups in the process.
He continued: "I still look out for the club, Mourinho knows I like the club and when we spoke in Madrid we would talk about it and he would tell me the results of the matches."
