Game of Thrones explores a medieval-like fantasy world with its plethora of characters all struggling in the only game that matters -- the game of thrones. An epic battle ensues among seven kingdoms and between two ruling families for control of the Iron Throne, the possession of which ensures survival through the 40-year winter to come.
Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 5 Of course, it turns out Littlefinger isn't so much a master of finances as he is someone willing to borrow too much from Tywin Lannister and the Iron Bank of Braavos and then skip out on the job before figuring out how to pay it back. And if you think Tywin's the biggest problem Littlefinger is leaving behind, think again: The Iron Bank will fund the the crown's enemies if the kingdom can't cough up the cash to return the loan. Have fun with that, Tyrion.
We'd be remiss if we didn't also mention the scene where Podrick is regaled with three naked whores, apparently entirely to set up a tedious joke about the squire being good in bed. The showrunners have to be trolling us at this point, right?
The Brotherhood Without Banners: Say Goodbye to Your Little Friend
As we predicted last week, the Brotherhood Without Banners hasn't let Arya go now that her identity is out; they claim she's not their prisoner, but they won't let her walk away, either. The same does not go for her friend Hot Pie,

The Hudson Jeans Wide Leg Trouser ($165) is a bit of hybrid - a stretch jean with a trouser-inspired cut. We like the slimming effect of the wide leg and the idea that we can pair it with just about any top in our closet.
Okay, I've always wondered: how on Earth do you wear white jeans or pants without VPL?

2-time winner Abbott returns to Silver City's Tour of the Gila
Strong women's field to deliver exciting racing
Silver City, N.M. (March 27, 2013) — Returning to road racing after a one-year hiatus, 2010 Giro Donne winner and two-time USA Cycling road national champion Mara Abbott has hilghlighted the Silver City's Tour of the Gila powered by SRAM as one of her goals this year. After all, the race does hold a special place in the heart of the two-time overall champion (2007, 2010).
"I am so excited to get to return to Gila. It is a race where I have had success in the past, and also a race that is nostalgically significant to me in terms of my personal development. There are stages there that are particularly special to me and I love how much the community is behind the race! Silver City is such a wonderful host town and I am thrilled they are supporting the race again this year!" said Abbott of the ExergyTWENTY16 team.
Abbott is not the only racer that has circled the dates of May 1-5, in her calendar. After coming close three years, Alison Powers of the NOW and Novartis for MS team, wants to stand on that top step on the final day.
"Personally Gila is one of my favorite races. It's where I started. It was my very first (USA Cycling National Racing Calendar) NRC race and I like Silver City. It's comfortable. I've had really good success there except for winning the overall title. That is one of my goals. My team NOW and Novartis is stronger than ever and we're excited to win races and not get second all the time." Powers said with a chuckle. She claimed two second place overall as well as a third place in the past four years.
Looking at contenders, one has to include the Optum presented by Kelly Benefit Strategies team who won the 2012 USA Cycling NRC Individual and Team classifications.
"The Tour of the Gila is one of the most difficult races on the NRC calendar. The combination of the climbing and altitude causes a lot of pain and suffering, but it's a race we all look forward to every year. Silver City is a beautiful place to race and we appreciate the support we get from the local community." commented Optum's Jade Wilcoxson who finished third on the 2012 NRC after a breakthrough season. "I'm confident Optum Pro Cycling will be one of the strongest teams in the race and will be difficult to beat."
Race director Jack Brennan stated, "The racing should be exciting with so many strong riders and teams vying for the victory. Since our first Tour of the Gila in 1987, women's racing has been integral to our event, and our commitment continues 27 years later. This year we plan on providing live race updates of both the women's and men's racing for each of the five stages."
The 2013 Silver City's Tour of the Gila powered by SRAM consists of five stages – three road stages, one individual time trial and one criterium – with approximately 15,000 feet of climbing overall. The race culminates with the Gila Monster road stage - the make or break Queen Stage – with 5,610 feet of climbing and 4,714 feet of descending over 71.8 miles.
Additional teams as well as the final roster will be announced in the coming weeks. Registration is currently open at bikereg.com.

Allergies? Diet resolutions? Making healthier versions of old favorites is a great way to start your New Year's resolution for a healthier you - and a healthier family. Here are 10 ideas:
1, Scalloped Potatoes with soy milk and tofu or soy cheese
2. Scalloped Vegetables or Dinner – add other veggies to above and possibly pieces of chicken or turkey if you have left-overs.
3. Calzones – Roll chunks of the Pizza Dough Crust into 7-9" circles. Place about 1 cup of vegetables and
cheese or meat on them, seal and bake 20-35 minutes at 350.
Fillings: cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, onion, bits of beef or chicken, cheese, broccoli, rutabaga cubes, peas (frozen work, canned do not)
4. Fajitas – strips of chicken fajita from Sams Club or pieces of chicken tossed with fajita spices and sautéed with strips of all color peppers and onions. Stir-fry pan works well. Can stir in rice if preferred.
5. Burritos or Tostadas – Whole wheat burritos or tostadas (can "fry" small corn or wheat tortillas in pan with olive oil – 10-15 seconds on each side, and set on paper towel to soak up oil – they cool to crunchy consistency) spread with refried beans and layered with rice, tomatoes, onions, cheese, no fat sour cream, lettuce
6. 5 hour stew with beef or chicken - Mix 1# meat with 1# tomatoes, fresh or canned, and 1# of root vegetables, spice it up to taste and bake at 225 for 5 hours.
7. Tacos do not have to have meat in them – you can put rice or beans and then veggies
8. Pasta Primavera - 5 versions
You can add veggies to last 5 minutes of pasta cooking time: drain.
1. Make sauce for scalloped potatoes, but put it over pasta. Then saute 1 large onion, 1-2 garlic gloves, minced, carrots and 1 cup broccoli florets, in 1 TBSP olive oil. When onions begin to soften add zucchini and 1 tsp - TBSP dried basil (depends on taste – more is slightly 'spicy'). Add ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Simmer 5 minutes, Add peas and heat through. Toss with hot pasta
2. To the sauce add 1 cup broccoli flowerets, 1 cup julienne carrots, ½ cup chopped red pepper. Can add 3 oz. cream cheese to velote sauce or milk/cheese sauce (medium white sauce with cheese added)
3. Stir in sauce ½ cup chopped green onions, ½ tsp. Italian seasoning, ½ tsp. garlic powder, and stir on low heat until smooth. Add 1 cup julienne cut strips of turkey if desired.
4. 1 cup each veggie: matchstick carrots (buy or cut in food processor – the baby carrots cut wonderfully) and 1 cup frozen peas, zucchini, or mushrooms (sautéd until tender) if desired.
5. OR instead of white sauce Add tomatoes (28 oz can drained and crushed. if fresh not available) and toss with hot pasta then sprinkle with ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated.
9. Country Supper Casserole
Brown 1-1/2" beef (or use soy crumbles) with ½ chopped onion. Put in 3 qt casserole, add 1 tsp. salt and ½ tsp. pepper and 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce. Add beans and carrots (2 cups sliced green beans, 2 cups cooked carrots)
Top with mashed potatoes around the edge. Pour 1 more 8 oz. tomato sauce in middle.
Bake at 350 till potatoes brown – about 30 min.
10. Vegetarian Chile
1 – 16oz. Chile Magic – Traditional unless you like it hot get Texas style
1 – 16oz Diced tomatoes
1 – 8 oz. can kidney (or other chili) beans
½ package Morning Star Ground "Beef"

Warwick House of Hope Corporation
Mission Statement
As a community development corporation (CDC), the House of Hope creates community and economic development in neighborhoods, villages, cities and towns in Rhode Island. By developing affordable housing and assuring supportive services, House of Hope empowers individuals and families to reach their fullest potential.
House of Hope History
The House of Hope was established in 1989 to shelter homeless families in crisis and to assist them in developing the skills that are needed to live independently. The organization is a private nonprofit that embraces every individual as a unique and valuable member of the community. The need for the House of Hope became apparent to its founders when inquiries for help consistently outnumbered the available housing and social services that were available. Inquiries for help come from families in need due to serious illnesses, those working for minimum wage who are unable to make ends meet, individuals that may have a mental illness, and other people that are in crisis.
Since its inception, the House of Hope has helped thousands of families and individuals in their quest to create quality of life for themselves and others through measures that are socially just and morally responsible regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, economics, age, education, sexual orientation, handicap or other differences.

- Tucson Mountain Retreat-DUSTThis lovely rammed earth home is surrounded by giant Saguaro cacti in the Sonoran Desert. The Tucson Mountain Retreat by local firm DUST is an exercise in connected living with the environment. Low-impact construction works in conjunction with solarpassive design to create an environmentally friendly home. The home features rammed earth walls made from local soil, and it collects its own rainwater for use on the property.1
- Tucscon Mountain Retreat-DUSTLocated outside of Tucson is this mountain and desert retreat designed to enjoy the surrounding landscape while minimizing its impact on it.2
- Tucson Mountain Retreat-DUSTLocal architects DUST sited the home carefully within adjacent arroyos, rock out-croppings, ancient cacti, animal migration paths, air movement, sun exposure and views.3
- Tucson Mountain Retreat-DUSTParking from the home is situated over 400 feet from the house to remove cars from the home's space and force the residents and visitors into the desert and engage with it before hiding inside.4
- Tucson Mountain Retreat-DUSTOther strategies to create a connection between people and the environment include the use of playful concrete stepping stones to enter the home, floor to ceiling glass sliding walls and no internal hallways.5
- Tucson Mountain Retreat-DUSTTo access different rooms within the house, residents must first walk outside to the next room. Residents are at once both protected from the elements, but also must participate with the environment.6
- Tucson Mountain Retreat-DUSTOriented to the east and west, the home uses solar passive design to take in sunlight and warmth in the winter and exclude it during the summer. Minimal glazing on the east and west along with large southern overhangs keep the interior from overheating.7

Some years ago, I was involved with a homeless ministry, gladly serving in any role needed. But one day, I met someone who discouraged me.
It wasn't a homeless person who discouraged me, it was another Christian.
"Oh, I used to help the homeless, but one day I realized that these people are just here for a handout and they refuse to do anything for themselves. I know these people and I know from witnessing firsthand how they behave. Why should we feed them and give them clothes and time when this time next year, they'll be back again, and again, and again? We are in a co-dependent relationship!"
Those words penetrated my head and caused my heart to be heavy. It was true that over the years, the same people came in through the program. Had I been creating a situation where these homeless people became unwilling to work and succeed because someone was always around to take care of their needs?
I spent a year or two away from the ministry, pondering this question and teetering between confusion and resignation.
But one day, as I considered the question, the Lord spoke to my heart.
"Kim, do it for me. Don't do it for them. Look at each one of those people and see me. Then do it for me."
Jesus wants us to see beyond another person's condition, situation, or motive. He wants us to stop judging others and to serve him, because as we serve and meet the needs of others, we are serving Jesus!
God just might be planning to use you as the person who will change another person's life, just because you were there and faithfully serving Jesus!
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:17-18
For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
Matthew 26:11

Sticky mess!
Publié par Reviewer2827455 le Aug 19, 2011
Did not like! The spray itself is very sticky on my hair. After drying, it left a sort of matte-type finish on my hair which was very dull. I used this in conjunction with the iCreate Quiet Calm Curl Control on my shoulder length thick, wavy, frizzy hair AND by itself. My hair flaked a LOT. Disappointed in the cost and extreme lack of satisfaction.
Love the way this feels on my hair

Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) shares closed Wednesday down nearly 2% following the second-quarter report. Profits suffered due to litigation expenses, but the company pulled of an earnings surprise in a segment thwarting competition such as Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.
What were the key takeaways from Bank of America's second quarter?
Analysts had expected $21.7 billion in revenue and $0.29 EPS. Bank of America reported $22 billion with an EPS of $0.19 per diluted share. The earnings beat reflects a mixed bag of segment performances overshadowed by legal disputes.
What do investors need to know about Bank of America's earnings report?
1. Legal woes
Litigation expenses tied to an AIG mortgage securities lawsuit cost Bank of America about $0.22 per share after tax. AIG's original suit, filed in 2011, had asked for $10 billion to cover losses during the housing crisis. The settlement amounted to $4 billion pre-tax, but also led to AIG dropping its opposition to the bank's $8.5 billion settlement with a large group of mortgage investors.
Bank of America's legal troubles will continue past the second-quarter report.
The company continues to fight the Department of Justice on related to mortgages. The DOJ wants around $17 billion and Bank of America has offered $12 billion-$13 billion. One factor in Bank of America's favor is the DOJ's new settlement with Citigroup. The DOJ had wanted $12 billion out of Citigroup but the settlement announced this week was for $7 billion.
2. Beating the competition on trading
Trading segments were down across the industry due to customer apprehension and lower interest rates.
Bank of America was the standout in having a trading arm post a year-over-year growth. Fixed income, currency, and commodities were up over 5% to $2.4 billion after excluding net debt value adjustment. Compare that growth to fixed-income declines of 12% at Citigroup and 10% at Goldman Sachs.
Bank of America only managed the comparative growth due to a weak second quarter last year and fixed income was partly offset by the 14% drop in equity trading revenue. The global markets segment managed to close the quarter up 9% thanks to the fixed income performance and increased investment fees.
3. Mixed segmental results beyond trading
Bank of America joined Goldman Sachs in having more segments reporting a growth than a loss. Consumer and Business Banking was flat year-over-year on revenue but net income jumped 29%. Growth drivers included cost reduction and increased service charges.
Global wealth and investment management saw a slight segmental revenue growth but net income dropped nearly 5%. Managed assets and client balances increased in the quarter, but the return on average allocated capital fell more than 6%.
Consumer real estate services were the underperformer with a net loss of $2.8 billion -- thanks to the litigation expenses -- and a $725 million drop in revenue from the prior year's quarter. Don't expect this segment to show a notable improvement anytime in the near future as the housing market struggles upward; first-mortgage originations were down 59% in the quarter.
Foolish final thoughts
Trading and mortgages will remain weak moving forward but those are industrywide concerns. Investors need to watch for a potential DOJ settlement and hope that Bank of America gets the same sort of bargain given to Citigroup.
Bank of America + Apple? This device makes it possible.
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its destined to change everything from banking to health care. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early-in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Updated 5:18 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Jan. 15
Mike McCoy is staying in the AFC West and will become the new head coach of the Chargers.
McCoy has spent the past four seasons as the Broncos' offensive coordinator. One of the most sought-after assistants, McCoy had interviewed with the Cardinals, Eagles and Bears, and reportedly had a second interview set up with Arizona. He also interviewed for the Dolphins' job last offseason.
"We set out to find the right man to lead the San Diego Chargers on the field and that man is Mike McCoy," said team president Dean Spanos. "The interview process was an excellent experience. We were very thorough during the process and made sure we did our due diligence. We interviewed five extremely-qualified, highly-sought-after coaches. It was a tough decision, but in the end, all signs pointed to Mike. After spending time with Mike, I could see why so many teams wanted to talk to him."
The hiring of McCoy is the first big decision made by new Chargers GM Tom Telesco, who joined the club last week. McCoy replaces Norv Turner, who was fired following the 2012 season.
"A week ago, I talked about what we're looking for in a head coach," Telesco said. "We're looking for a leader of men, a teacher who can communicate with players from all different ages and backgrounds, and a coach who can motivate his players to play their best at the most critical times. Mike McCoy can accomplish those goals. He's going to build a team culture and do it with passion on and off the field. It was very clear he was the one we wanted to lead the San Diego Chargers in a new era."
McCoy, 40, received credit for changing the Broncos' offense midseason in 2011 when Tim Tebow took over at quarterback. This year, with Peyton Manning at the helm, the Broncos were fourth in the NFL in total offense.

TUTORIAL: Budgeting Basics
What Does "Independent" Mean?
There is no absolute definition for financial independence. The most common sense of the term is that someone has enough wealth to live as they wish for the rest of their life without having to work. This is a foggy definition, though - isn't picking a stock "work"? What about people who own a business and are not involved in day-to-day activities, but still step in for major decisions?
Here's a different definition - financial independence should mean the ability to live more or less as one wants to, within reasonable limits. It may not mean the absolute freedom to never work another day again, but it may mean the ability to quit a bad job, go back to school or start a new business without major sacrifice. Likewise, financial independence should mean the ability to deal with life's ups and downs without scrimping, sacrificing or going into debt.
The Allies of Independence
It is hard to fight for independence without allies. Financially speaking, that means assets that work for their owners and throw off cash. A savings account or CD is a really basic example, but a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks or a portfolio of bonds (or bond funds) can serve the same role.
Rental properties can throw off impressive amounts of cash flow - not only paying for themselves, but throwing off cash above and beyond that. Writers, musicians and inventors can also look at royalties as long-term (if not lifelong) sources of income that require little additional effort. Last and not least, ownership of a business can certainly spin off significant amounts of cash flow, even if the owner is not directly involved in day-to-day management.
For example, say an investment of $8 or $9 in rental properties can produce $1 of rental income. Even allowing for expenses, it is not hard to get a mid or high single-digit return - meaning that $1 million real estate nest egg could potentially deliver $50,000 or $60,000 in income. Likewise, simply having $1 million invested in a corporate bond fund could generate upwards of $50,000 a year in pre-tax income. (For an example of an income generating investment, read Bond Funds Boost Income, Reduce Risk.)
Fighting for Independence
Right now, reading about a $1 million nest egg may sound ridiculous, but it is attainable.
For starters, a careful budget is important. To make the most of every penny it is vital to know where every penny goes, and it isn't possible to plug leaks without finding them first. There is plenty of budgeting advice out there, but one of the biggest keys is to build in an emergency fund, allow some fun discretionary spending and make saving an integral expense every bit as important as rent or food.
Once a budget is in place, cutting costs and maximizing savings can take precedence. Almost everybody spends more than they need to and a little careful consideration can usually turn up avoidable (or reducible) expenses. Saving $50 a month is not going to make anybody a millionaire (unless they can hang on for their 1,667th birthday), but every extra dollar prudently invested can multiply the value of that extra $50 many times over.
Invest, Educate and Take Smart Risks
Financial independence is all but impossible without taking some risks. The key here is "smart" risk - investing $100,000 in a risky biotech hoping to get a 10-bagger is not a smart risk, it's gambling. But doing a lot of research and spending $100,000 on a rental property in an attractive neighborhood is not nearly as risky, nor is starting a business based on a marketable skill and a real desire to do something different than the competition.
Nobody is born knowing anything about the stock market or rental properties, and most people do not have a parent or mentor to learn from at a young age. Instead, most people learn by researching, reading, and rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty. That process never ends - there is always more to learn, not only about investing but about specific investments as well.
Likewise, financial independence requires a lifetime commitment to continuous investment. Financial independence is not simply a process of saving some money, investing that money and calling it a day. Instead, those who would be financially independent have to be on the lookout for new opportunities and news ways to make the most of their hard-earned capital. After all, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. (To help improve your investing knowledge, check out Investing Books It Pays To Read.)
How to Declare Financial Independence
Independence does not come simply because people demand it, nor because someone decides they want it. It is important to take that first step and make a declaration of what you want, why you want it and what you are prepared to do to get it.
Decide what financial independence means to you. Once those decisions are in place, come up with a clear plan that outlines what you need, what you want, what you have today, and what you can do to move towards independence (this includes the budgeting, cost-cutting and investment plans). Last and not least, stick to that plan and keep the goal in sight - financial independence is not easy, but it is not impossible for those who are willing to show some resourcefulness and invest years of hard work into the process. (For some tips, see 10 Simple Steps To Financial Security Before 30.)
As the Fourth of July should remind us all, independence is something worth fighting for. Independence means the ability to make your own decisions and live the way you choose to live. When it comes to financial independence, though, many people believe it is only a dream. Here's how to declare your own financial independence day.

Who goes home after the overnight dates on "The Bachelor" tonight? The Fantasy Suite dates are sure to be hot and steamy with Andi, Clare and Nikki all accepting the offer to spend the night with Juan Pablo.
There are two roses up for grabs tonight, so that means one girl will leave. For fans who watched the previews on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" after the hometown dates aired, it looks like Juan Pablo won't have a chance to eliminate one girl: Andi Dorfman will leave before the rose ceremony.
What really happens between Andi & Juan Pablo
There is speculation that Andi has a fight with Juan Pablo during her date, but that is not the case. Reality Steve reports that Dorfman stayed the night in the Fantasy Suite with Ju-Pa and the tension didn't start until shortly before the rose ceremony.
Is it all over for Juan Pablo & Nikki Ferrell?
Andi, who is said to be the next "Bachelorette" gives Juan Pablo a piece of her mind (read more about her argument with Juan Pablo here) and then leaves the show before Tuesday night's rose ceremony.
Because Andi leaves before Juan can eliminate her, there is no doubt he will be teary-eyed again and tell the girls that they should only stay if they really, really want to go the distance with him.
Nikki and Clare were rumored to be the frontrunners all season and both will make it to the final rose ceremony that will air March 10, 2014.
However, there doesn't seem to be a connection beyond friends-with-benefits between either of Juan Pablo's final two girls, so going the distance may just mean dating for a few weeks after the final rose is given out.
Is Juan Pablo the worst 'Bachelor' ever? All besos, no brains
Who gets the final rose? Expect Clare to have a meltdown when the season finale airs on March 10.
Reality Steve says he is positive Clare is dumped and Nikki is given the final rose. That final rose does not come with a ring; Juan Pablo doesn't feel sure enough to give her an engagement ring. That's probably the smartest thing he's done all season.

Although the vehicle still lacked flight-qualified components, the VAT critique noted that having the GLV at AMR, even with non-flight equipment, would expedite the Gemini program by permitting early checkout of launch vehicle and complex compatibility and final acceptance of complex 19. GLV-1 was removed from the vertical test facility on October 12, tested for tank leaks, painted, weighed, inspected, and prepared for shipment. Air Force Space Systems Division formally accepted GLV-1 on October 25; the vehicle was airlifted to AMR the following day.

Seventh-ranked UCLA took another step toward hosting a quarterfinal MPSF playoff match by beating No. 14 UC Santa Barbara in four games Wednesday night.
The Bruins won 29-31, 30-21, 30-24, 33-31 in one hour and 55 minutes in front of 482 fans. The victory avenged a Feb. 20 four-game loss to UCSB and raised the Bruins' overall record to 16-11, 11-8 in league play. The Gauchos fell to 9-15, 6-13.
More importantly, UCLA tied Pepperdine for fourth place in the league race. Both teams have three matches remaining. Should they tie, the Bruins win the tiebreaker because of their two conference victories against the Waves.
On this night, the Bruins overcame nine service errors and a loss in Game 1 to sweep the next three games. Game 1 was a see-saw battle with neither team taking more than a three point lead until the Gauchos broke a 29-29 tie with a kill by freshman opposite Jeff Menzel and a block by Vince Devany and Matt Thobe. For the game, the Bruins hit .350 and out-gunned the Gauchos 21 kills to 15, but nine service errors against zero aces proved the difference.
The Bruins' serve came alive in Game 2 when sophomore Garrett Muagututia aced UCSB for a 2-1 lead. Another ace by junior D.J. Stromath gave the Bruins a 6-2 lead and they were on their way to controlling the game. UCLA finished the second game with four aces (and limited their service mistakes to six), while hitting at a .500 clip. Muagututia, who had four kills in Game 1, exploded for seven in the second game, while junior Sean O'Malley, who had eight kills in the first game, added three in the second.
The Bruins served even better in Game 3, acing the Gauchos three times and serving just one ball out. They never trailed in the third game, breaking from a 5-5 tie to march on an 11-5 run before UCSB burned its first timeout. The Gauchos barely threatened until the Bruins were ahead 29-21 following a UCSB service error. Three consecutive UCSB points forced the Bruins to call their only timeout of the game, before a UCSB hitting error put UCLA up 2-1.
UCSB held several three point leads in Game 4 and fought off a couple of UCLA rallies. The Bruins called their final timeout trailing 26-28, and watched as UCSB held game point at 29-27. Two kills by O'Malley tied the score and UCSB called its final timeout. After a UCLA blocking error brought the score to 31-31, the Bruins scored the final two points on kills by O'Malley and Muagututia.
Muagututia played one of his finest matches of the season, pounding a match-high 26 kills (.600), digging 11 balls, serving a pair of aces and recording two solo blocks for 30 points. O'Malley spiked a career high of 25 kills (.400) and recorded an ace and three block assists for 27.5 points. Stromath added 11 kills (.476), a career-high of three aces and three total blocks. Senior Libero Tony Ker recorded 10 digs, his 58th career double-digit dig match.
Theo Brunner and Mike Runkle led UCSB with 14 kills apiece.
UCLA's next home match is Fri., Apr. 4 against CS Northridge at 7 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion.

PHOTO GALLERY - All 100 Major League Players
Fans still have time to vote for the Arizona State All-MLB Team on Twitter. Tweet @ASU_Baseball your top Sun Devil baseball players who went on to play in the Major Leagues. The votes will be tallied and a team will be released early next week.
Pac-12 Baseball Standings as of May 25 games
Oregon, 19-9
Arizona, 19-9
Stanford, 18-10 (1 GB)
Arizona State, 17-11 (2 GB)
TUCSON, Ariz. - Right-hander Brady Rodgers threw 8 1/3 scoreless innings, but the 16th-ranked Arizona State baseball team fell to 13th-ranked Arizona, 1-0 in front of 5,451 fans at Hi-Corbett Field in Tucson, Ariz.
Right-hander Jake Barrett conceded the walk-off double to the first batter he faced, Seth Mejias-Brean, after he replaced Rodgers with one out in the top of the ninth inning. Robert Refsnyder, who scored the game-winning run, singled earlier in the frame and was the last batter Rodgers saw.
Rodgers (10-3), in what was possibly his final game as a Sun Devil, did not allow an extra-base hit and struck out four in the loss. He was credited with the earned run in the ninth inning.
His career ERA of 2.39 in 286 total innings is second on the school's career "Best Earned Run Average" list, behind Floyd Bannister (74-76), who had a 1.88 ERA in 396.2 innings pitched.
In five career appearances, including four starts, against Arizona, Rodgers has given up seven earned runs on 20 hits while walking three and striking out 23 in 32 innings.
Wildcats (37-16, 19-9) right-hander Kurt Heyer (11-2) surrendered six hits through nine scoreless innings in the win.
Andrew Aplin recorded a pair of singles and four others added a hit, including a double by Trever Allen, for the Sun Devils (35-19, 17-11).
ASU put runners on second and third with two outs in the third inning, and again with one out in the fifth inning, but a flyout and two groundouts, respectively, kept the game knotted at zero.
Arizona threatened in the bottom of the sixth inning as Rodgers struck out the first two batters of the frame, but walked the next batter and hit the following two to load the bases. However, Rodgers induced a flyout to right field to escape the inning unscathed.
Michael Benjamin was stranded at third in the seventh inning after he reached base on a fielders choice and advanced on a balk and a groundout.
The Sun Devils take on Arizona in game two of their three-game series on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Hi-Corbett Field in Tucson. Sun Devil Sports Network will broadcast the game live on the Fan AM 1060, and live, up-to-the-minute stats will also be available online through gametracker, which can be accessed on the baseball weekly release on the thesundevils.com or under the online baseball schedule. All three games will also be webcast by the University of Arizona, available on arizonawildcats.com, to all-access subscribers, which requires a paid subscription.
Saturday's projected pitching matchup:
ASU - RHP Trevor Williams (11-2, 1.86)
Arizona - RHP Konner Wade (7-2, 4.48)
State Farm Territorial Cup Series:
This weekend marks the final three games of the five-game State Farm Territorial Cup Series between the two schools. The Sun Devils and Wildcats split the first two contests at Packard Stadium. Arizona is currently atop the standings by six points, 11.5-5.5, with just three baseball games remaining in the State Farm Territorial Cup schedule.

The long-standing debate over forced unionization will renew in 2014, this time at the Supreme Court of the United States. At some point, the Court will decide the case of an Illinois mother, acting as a home care provider for her son, who was forced to join the SEIU (Service Employees International Union).
The question at hand is this:
May a State, consistent with the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, compel personal care providers to accept and financially support a private organization as their exclusive representative to petition the State for greater reimbursements from its Medicaid programs?
Put another way, may a state, without violating the Constitution, force a person to join, and pay dues to, a union in this particular case? Here, the mother is forced to pay part of her son's disability benefit to the SEIU. The son chose mom to be the home care provider, and home care providers in Illinois are essentially forced to join the SEIU and pay dues.
In short, this is the traditional free association v. free riders debate.
Ohio might very well join the discussion, too, as a right to work group waits in the wings to put a popular referendum on the ballot. Any such initiative would make Ohio a so-called "right to work" state, making unionization "opt in" instead of "opt out."
Existing law allows workers to opt out of union membership but with a catch: workers may withhold dues that pay for political activities but must still pay for the benefit of collective bargaining, often called an "agency fee." This fee is normally 90% or more of the total dues, and often comes with little or no voting rights in union elections.
Even conservatives on the Court have ruled that the agency fees are not only okay but "necessary." This view harkens back to the "free rider" argument, which holds that workers allowed to leave the union but who remain employed benefit from collective bargaining. Since they would not pay dues, such workers are "free riders." The agency fees remedy this problem.
However, the other problem is the seeming violation of free association rights. While a private company and a private union are not covered by this portion of the First Amendment—since there is no government entity involved, per se—forced unionization is very much a constitutional question for workers employed by the state, as it is in the Illinois case before the Court (and with public sector workers in general). In such cases, the government would be the body forcing someone to join or contribute to a private entity, thereby violating free association rights, since individuals have the right to freely associate, or not to associate, with whomever they wish.
The key distinction in the free rider-free association struggle is that the Constitution of the United States and most state constitutions are utterly silent on the subject of free riders, but they have much to say about the freedom to associate.
For unions, this is a case of life-or-death: public sector unions make up a huge—in some states the majority—of membership. The right ruling could make life harder for organized labor to survive, as would a right-to-work amendment in Ohio. Wisconsin is case-in-point: after passing a right-to-work law, the state has seen a massive decline in union membership.

2002 Chevrolet Blazer LS 2dr
Mechanic Q: 2002 chevy blazer fuel delivery problem?
My girlfriends blazer with the 4.3L votec will not start, it cranks but it acts like its not getting fuel. There is a Schrader valve that you can remove the cap and press and when the key turns over it is pumping fuel. You can hear the fuel pump kick on. I got it started by putting a little bit of gas in the throttle body and I let it run for 10 minutes and it continued to run. I then drove it approximately 2 miles to her house and dropped it off, it never shut off on me, and that fuel would of burned out of the throttle body within the 2 miles. I'm at a standstill, any clue with what could be wrong?
A: 2002 chevy blazer fuel delivery problem?
I figured out that it was infact the fuel pump. I hooked up a fuel pressure gauge to the schrader valve and it was reading 50psi. It should be around 60-66 psi, so I guess it had enough pressure to run the engine once it was started (by putting fuel in the throttle body) but wasn't pumping enough fuel to get the engine to fire. Also a couple of people I know told me they had to replace fuel pumps on their Chevys after they did the same thing. Also I've tried to coach my girlfriend not to run the tank down to empty before putting fuel in it because its hard on the pump, hopefully this will be a wake up call once I fix it! Thanks for the help!

The on-again, off-again, on-again, relationship between the New Orleans Saints and receiver Adrian Arrington, apparently is off again, at least for now.
Arrington, who was re-signed Monday after being released on Saturday, was placed on injured reserve. Arrington, who had battled for the fourth receiver spot, had been slow to recover from knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
The Saints re-signed Greg Camarillo, who was released when the team made its final preseason cuts, to fill Arrington's roster spot. The Saints also added linebacker Barrett Ruud to the 53-man roster on Tuesday after his roster exemption expired.
Meanwhile, Devery Henderson, who left Sunday's 40-32 loss to the Washington Redskins with a concussion, was one of three Saints players who missed practice on Wednesday.
Henderson, watched Wednesday's workout from the sideline and turned down interview request from reporters following drills, although he did say he was doing fine.
Also missing practice were defensive end Turk McBride (left ankle) and cornerback Johnny Patrick (right thigh). McBride had his left foot in a walking boot.
Linebacker Scott Shanle (right knee) was limited at practice.
Carolina appears to be relatively healthy heading in Sunday's game against the Saints.
Panthers linebacker Kenny Onatolu missed practice Wednesday for non-injury reasons.
Receiver Steve Smith (knee) was limited. Guard Jeff Byers (knee) and running back Jonathan Stewart (ankle) practice fully.

Brian Brohm (BUF)
The case: A 2nd round pick in Green Bay, Brohm never had a chance with the solid play of Aaron Rodgers. A bad training camp left Brohm on the practice squad, where he was eventually signed by Buffalo. At Louisville Brohm was considered one of the best quarterbacks in the country, and a potential 1st round pick. His career to date has not lived up to that hype, but he has not been given the opportunities to show his talent on the field.
Career stats: O TD, 2 INT, 146 passing yards, 43.2 rating
Troy Smith (BAL)
The case: A Heisman trophy winner at Ohio State, many (myself included) doubted Smith's ability to play quarterback in the NFL. Drafted by Baltimore and stuck behind a Pro Bowl quarterback, Joe Flacco, Smith has barely been off the bench in Baltimore. A dual-threat as a passer and a runner, Smith has the talent to help a NFL team. Given playing time to develop, Smith has the tools to be a long-term starter.
Career stats: 48/89, 3 TD, 1 INT, 558 passing yards, 79.7 rating
Dennis Dixon (PIT)
The case: A Heisman candidate and star at the University of Oregon, Dixon looked like a high round draft pick until he tore his ACL late in the season. Dixon tried to play hurt two weeks later, but his knee eventually gave out and he was lost for the season. The professional version of a "Thursday All American", Dixon has looked amazing during the preseason and could get his chance to start with Ben Roethlisberger being suspended for the first 6 games of the 2010 season.
Career stats: 1 TD, 1 INT, 148 passing yards, 62.0 rating
Brady Quinn (DEN)
The case: A golden boy, star quarterback at Notre Dame, Quinn has many fans and as many doubters. Possessing a strong arm and great leadership skills. A first-round draft pick in 2007, Quinn has seen very little playing time during 3 NFL seasons. A long hold out before his rookie season opened the door for Derek Anderson to start during 2007 and most of 2008. To date Quinn has only played in 14 NFL games.
Career stats: 184/353, 10 TD, 9 INT, 1902 passing yards, 66.8 rating

UMass Concludes Spring Workouts With Spirited Spring Game
April 28, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - The UMass football team concluded its first spring workouts under head coach Charley Molnar with a spirited Spring Game with many former alumni in attendance at McGuirk Alumni Stadium Saturday.
The entire day served as a celebration of the strong leaders that have come through the Minutemen program over the years and saw some hard hits and big plays on the field before a barbecue ended the days festivities.
On the field, the defense was strong up front and allowed just four rushes of more than 10 yards, while keeping the passing in game in check as well.
The first half saw the current UMass first- and second-teamer against a group of alumni. Junior quarterback Kellen Pagel threw for 109 yards on 7-of-8 with the big play coming on a 61-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wideout Marken Michel.
Sophomore running back Jordan Broadnax rushed for 22 yards in the first half with a six-yard touchdown. He finished the game with 65 yards on 16 carries.
The second half saw the first and second teams go against one another. Sophomore running back Brian Dowling caught seven balls for 36 yards, while eight other Minutemen combined for 10 receptions and 122 yards.
Junior Brendon Levengood had the only points after the half as he connected on a 33-yard field goal. He also made both extra points in the first half.
Senior linebacker D.J. Adeoba had a game-high nine stops and junior defensive back Christian Birt finished the day with seven tackles and three pass break-ups.

Tags: pit bulls, prison dog training, prison dogs Animal Planet's hit show 'Pit Bulls and Parolees' has seen enormous success since it first aired. I personally absolutely love the show, and don't mind staying in on wintery Saturday nights to catch the new episodes. Krunch is an adoptable Pit Bull from Villalobos Rescue Center Villalobos Rescue Center is the pit bull rescue behind the show. They mainly hire parolees as their employees to care for the 200 or so Pit Bulls they have at any time. What a great way to make a difference, not only to the animals, but to the people as well. Their tagline couldn't be more fitting 'Saving Man and Man's Best Friend.' There has been success all over the country with prison programs for shelter animals – this seems like a natural extension. Prison programs typically bring dogs or cats to prisons for socialization and training of the adoptable animals. It is yet another way to help the prisoners and the animals. Did you know that Villalobos is a Petfinder member? In addition to having their own site where they list their dogs for adoption, they also use Petfinder as a tool to help increase their adoptions. We are proud of and appreciate all of our members, and this is just one more to add to our list of over 13,500 shelters that list their adoptable animals on Petfinder.

Obama's Biggest Disappointment? Guns
President Barack Obama on Thursday said Congress's failure to pass legislation mandating new background checks ahead of gun purchases was his "most disappointing" moment with lawmakers.
The White House and Congress have had their share of standoffs, including testy hearings over the Internal Revenue Service and Benghazi, debt-ceiling showdowns and a budget impasse that led to a partial government shutdown.

- Q&A: What Is Congress Debating on Gun Laws?
But Mr. Obama said the December 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School was "probably the worst day of my presidency" and the failure to enact a background-check law afterward was "probably the most disappointing moment that I had with Congress."
The massacre in Newtown, Conn., killed 20 students and six school officials.
Mr. Obama, speaking at a town hall in Minneapolis, said he was sure that the Newtown shooting would lead to a breakthrough on gun legislation. Instead, lawmakers shied away from the legislation in the face of opposition from the National Rifle Association and gun makers, he said.
The issue has remained dormant, despite at least 74 school shootings since Newtown, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun-control organization funded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The president said the political impasse wouldn't change unless more Americans mobilize and raise sufficient funds to counter the gun lobby.
"If we're going to do something nationally, then we're going to have to mobilize ordinary folks, moms, dads, families, responsible gun owners, law enforcement and they're going to have to get organized and be able to counter the pressure that is coming from the other side in a sustained way," Mr. Obama said. "It's going to have to keep on going for several years before we are able to make progress."
The comments echoed the president's call last month for "soul-searching" on gun violence.
The NRA rejected Mr. Obama's assessment.
"Last year, the Senate wisely rejected President Obama and Michael Bloomberg's gun control agenda because nothing in it would have prevented the Sandy Hook tragedy," said Catherine Mortensen, NRA spokeswoman. "The president needs to stop playing politics and start addressing his failed policies."

Despite the fact that a Senate committee is currently investigating whether or not Publishers Clearing House (PCH) is engaging in deceptive advertising practices against the elderly, there is no doubt that the well-known sweepstakes company's name is being used to perpetrate crimes against hundreds of targets by confirmed criminals, according to a May 7, 2014 report from Channel 12's WPRI television news station.
Callers claiming an affiliation with PCH have asked their targeted victims to put as much as $285 onto a green dot money card, so they can pick it up and then deliver the alleged prize waiting for them from Publishers. But this isn't how the direct marketing company delivers its prizes, so it is a scam.
The criminals are also asking potential prize winners to share information with them about the "winner's" driver's license as well as their utility bills, which the real prize patrol member company does not ever ask their winners to do. So if you get such a request--elderly, or not--don't do it.
Phone numbers that have Jamaica area codes are being used quite frequently in these scams, which is a big red flag, and most folks have been keeping up with PCH's warnings about this kind of ploy on the company's blog and their Facebook pages. So many people already know not to fall for these criminal tricks. But for those who may not know how the PCH Prize Patrol team really operates--by showing up unannounced at your home with balloons, a big check and champagne and roses--there is the possibility someone will be fooled into parting with their money by these scam artists.
With the May 7 announcement on the PCH Blog about a new "Win It All" dream life prize to be given away on June 30, the direct marketing company's television commercials could result in more people being targeted by such criminals in addition to the hundreds targeted this month in Rhode Island. But, hopefully, not.
You never have to pay to accept a prize you win from Publishers Clearing House. And unless the PCH Prize Patrol members Dave, Todd and/or Danielle show up at your home with one of those big checks, you will not have to prove you are the person who's name is written on it--especially not over the phone.
In regards to the special Senate committee investigating the direct marketing company itself, you can read all about that investigation here. And in just a day or two, the Atlanta Top News Examiner Radell Smith is set to publish her six-month findings about what she learned as a sweepstakes entrant and online PCH game player. And the results might surprise you--and Publishers Clearing House.

St. Vincent-St. Mary boys basketball coach Dru Joyce II had better make sure his team is ready for Peters when it takes on Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy tonight at 6:15 in a Canton Division II Regional semifinal at the Memorial Civic Center.
That preparation, however, will have to go much deeper than telling one of his players, "You've got Peters."
If Joyce does that, things could degenerate into something akin to the old Abbott and Costello "Who's on First?" piece — only there would be a Peters on every base, at the plate and in the on-deck circle, not to mention a bunch more in the stands.
Jay Peters, who led Medina to the 1983 Class AAA state semifinals and later played at Kent State before being inducted into the Medina County Sports Hall of Fame, is in his 10th year as the Royals' head coach and owns more than 200 victories over a 15-year coaching career.
His son, Bob, a 6-foot-2 senior who has played varsity since he was a freshman and started for three years, is the program's all-time leading scorer with almost 1,600 points. He is averaging 23.1 points this season and has a full ride to continue his career at NAIA Division II power Indiana Wesleyan University.
Another son, Michael, a 6-foot sophomore, also starts for the Royals and averages about 9.5 points, while youngest son Nate, a 5-9 freshman, played junior varsity this season.
Then there's nephew Luke, the sophomore son of former Medina boys basketball coach Jody Peters, Jay's older brother and The Gazette's MVP in the sport in 1979. Luke, who attended Medina's Claggett Middle School through the eighth grade, also starts for the Royals and averages about 6.5 points.
"The four of them, they make it easy on me," Jay said earlier this week. "They work their butts off. They're competitive kids. They come to the gym every day with a lunch pail."
Bob, who was recently honored as a first-team All-Northeast Inland District choice, is the Royals' leader on the floor. The 18-year-old shares the same name as his grandfather, who died Oct. 5.
The elder Bob Peters had a legendary career at Medina, where he coached boys and girls varsity basketball. Like Jay, he is a Medina County Sports Hall of Fame inductee.
The younger Bob Peters, who carries a 3.2 grade-point average, now talks about his dad the way Jay and Jody still talk about their father.
"My dad's a great coach and a great man," Bob said. "He pushes me, Michael, Luke and Nate. It's just a great experience to come to practice every day.
"Some people call a basketball team a family. I actually mean it. It's a great feeling and a blessing working with those guys."
Bob, who has great jumping ability and is effective with and without the ball, saw a ton of action as a freshman, then averaged 20.8 points as a sophomore and 22.6 as a junior.
His game is similar to that of his first cousin, Tyler, who earned Gazette MVP honors as a senior after leading Medina to the 2010 Northeast Ohio Conference Valley Division title and now stars at D-III Wheaton (Ill.) College.
"I didn't just hand him playing time," Jay said. "He had to earn it. He played a lot (as a freshman), but it wasn't because I was his dad. It was because he had earned the spot and the time and the respect of his teammates. The same with Michael and Luke."
Michael, 16, and Luke, also 16, team with Bob in what is basically a three-guard offense, with Jay's sons sharing point guard duties and Luke functioning more as a shooting guard.
"Michael's just a tough, hard-nosed kid," Jay said. "He's fearless. He understands his role and what we need him to do. Luke's the same way. They're not playing because I'm their dad and uncle. They've earned the right."
Next in line is 15-year-old Nate, who has not yet gone through the traditional Peters growth spurt.
"He's a young, scrappy little guy," Bob said. "He's competitive and he knows how to get things done, but he'll be the first one to pick a fight with me after a bad game."
Those have been few and far between for CVCA, which will bring a 24-2 record into tonight's game. The Royals have reached the regional finals twice with Jay as coach, but have never earned a trip to the state tournament.
CVCA faces a huge obstacle in St. Vincent-St. Mary (17-9), which produced LeBron James and owns seven state titles, including five since 2000.
"I don't know how many times they've won the state championship in the last 10 years, but I know it's a lot," Bob said. "I know they're good and it will take our best game to beat them.
"But I wouldn't go into a game thinking I couldn't beat somebody. That's the plan."
That's also the typical Peters approach, and it has been that way for at least three generations.
"Part of it is a cultural thing," Jay said. "Jody and I grew up in a household where we were going off to basketball games and practices when we were 5 years old. You go to practices and you see what is expected. Our boys did the same thing.
"It's one of the best things ever, it really is. Every dad loves their kids and their nephews, but I'm so proud of the young men they are. On top of that, they have been good competitors for us. It's just an added bonus.
"The whole thing we get to share, it's a real pleasure and a blessing."
