I was clearing out some closets and going through some old boxes recently and happened across my copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. My first thought was "I knew I still had that" and "What great timing". I remembered exactly who and when I received the small pocket size reference book. I was in the college of business as a computer science major. A professor of one of my classes gave the entire class a copy and a lecture on the importance of this small guide. He spoke of his experience in government, military, and life and how he had changed party lines back and forth along the way realizing that neither was really what he thought they should be, and he was going to make sure that if we were going to become college graduates that we weren't doing it without having the knowledge and responsibility of "Our Rights".
I knew it made an impact on me but like any other young college grad I just pushed it aside and was concentrating on job fairs and what degree to pursue next. Then over the course of time I realized just how important that lecture was and how amazing it was of him to make that a priority. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all citizens had the opportunity to get a copy of this guide and revisit the knowledge they were taught, in 3rd grade, about our rights and our responsibilities?
After reading it again now with all that we are and have become in the past decade, as a nation. I have a deeper appreciation, respect, and love of our country and most importantly the founding fathers who provided us with the foundation we take for granted. What I find most enlightening is that we constantly use the Constitution as a "Talking Point" of debate and yet if we were to fully embody and respect the Declaration of Independence, which is the document by which the founding fathers outlined their values and morals to justify their separation from England, we would be capable of a more enlightened and productive debate over the laws of our country. Hasn't that always been the goal?
So, as we gather around the pool for burgers and beverages maybe you'll take a minute to reflect on the true meaning of the day. More than fireworks, horseshoes, and flags this day represents a moment in time when a few GREAT men stood together in their differences and gave us a document that still today represents the values, "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness", of every American.

|Language Acquisition; Phonology
|German children aged 2;1 heard a sentence containing a nonce noun and a nonce verb (Der Feks miekt). Either the noun or the verb was prosodically highlighted by increased pitch, duration and loudness. Independently, either the object or the action in the ongoing referential scene was the new element in the situation. Children learned the nonce noun only when it was both highlighted prosodically and the object in the scene was referentially new. They did not learn the nonce verb in any condition. These results suggest that from early in linguistic development, young children understand that prosodic salience in a sentence indicates referential newness.

I would surely not say that people are flocking to Ireland, nor Dublin. There is a net emigration from Ireland, with many Irish nationals leaving the country due to the economic crisis. In addition, the amount of immigrants in Ireland is fairly small, and the majority of them come from EU member nations (Seen in Figure 2 of the second link). Overall, yes, during the Celtic Tiger Ireland experienced net immigration due to economic prosperity, however, when the financial crisis happened immigration tanked (Figure 1 of second link).
While I understand where you are coming from, Anonymous, the point of this blog post was to demonstrate the diversity I've experienced here. I took a class while studying in Dublin that focused on the Irish workforce, and I am well familiar with "Generation Emigration" and the Celtic Tiger.

Yesterday, July 31, an article by a recent Yale School of Public Health graduate appeared in the renowned JAMA, highlighting potential benefits to calorie posting in restaurants. This controversial move has come under scrutiny, especially since the 2010 Affordable Care Act has mandated it for all chains with at least 20 restaurants. The benefits of posting calorie content are still inconclusive despite several studies, however, this article provided potential improvements in health resulting from the labels.
The purpose of these calorie labels, both inside restaurants as well as on drive-through boards, is to help improve the transparency of what is in the food we are eating and enable people to make healthier choices based on that information. Clearly not everyone will use these markers to make better choices, but studies have shown that calorie labeling is most effective when a key for the daily recommended caloric intake for men and women is included. Since individuals are more likely to overeat at restaurants, where oversized plates and portions make it hard to determine how much is being consumed, this policy at least offers awareness to consumers.
Additionally, it appears that consumers want to know what they are eating. The article cites a study of a nationally-representative sample, where 81% of respondents supported menu labeling in chain restaurants. Regardless of what the special interest groups and lobbyists say, people do want the knowledge, and therefore, the power to make health decisions.
Although the data on whether or not menu labeling makes a significant difference in choices remains inconclusive, it is not necessarily because it does not make a difference. As pointed out in JAMA, we currently do not have long-term data on the effects of menu labeling, because it has only been in effect to some degree since 2010 and the final roll-out does not start until this summer. It could be that calorie labels do work, but that it takes a longer time than currently studied for the results to show.
Longer-term data could show, for example, an increased consumer awareness of calories, reduced eating out, ordering less or lower-calorie options, changing social norms around food ordering and consumption, or generally just raise awareness about healthy eating. The most likely scenario is that menu labeling does help some consumers some of the time and with the high rate of dining out in America, this modest effect could have large population benefits.
Perhaps most importantly, disclosing the caloric content of its food could actually embarrass the restaurants (there are certainly several menu items that exceed the daily recommended caloric intake) and cause them to reformat those items in a healthier way. There is evidence that restaurants are conscious of their image as calories are posted; one study in Seattle, Washington found that there was a consistent decrease in caloric content across chain restaurants after the menu labeling law went into effect. Certainly having restaurants decide to offer healthier options could more greatly impact health than individuals choosing healthier options.
Time will tell what impact menu labeling will have on the health of our nation, but it at least represents a commitment on a national level to prioritize public health. This is a first step to ensuring that the next generation enjoys a healthy, fuller life, less dependent on food advertising and lobbying and more able to make informed choices about their health.

REVIEW: Crystal Gardens by Amanda Quick
Crystal Gardens by Jayne Ann Krentz
Writing as Amanda Quick
(Ladies of Lantern Street #1)
Piatkus Books (May 2012)
Paperback, 320 pages
Historical Paranormal Romance
Crystal Gardensby Amanda Quick is not your typical historical romance as the main characters are plagued with paranormal gifts that prevent them from leading a normal societal life.
Our protagonist is Evangeline Ames, a female author and private investigator who has left London for the calm life of the country village, Little Dixby, after an attempt on her life. Her employers have forced her to take time out to recover her wits, enabling her to work more on her novel at the same time, which is in the process of being serialized.
However, trouble seems to follow wherever she goes, and when we first meet her she is fleeing out of her window from a man who wishes to murder her. This second attempt on her life sees her escaping from her cottage onto the grounds of Crystal Gardens, the country house owned by the mysterious Lucas Sebastian. He puts a stop to her would-be assassin through paranormal means and insists that she reveal why anyone would be after her, and why she chose to flee onto his property.
He can also detect that Evangeline has her own paranormal abilities, as he is able to see other people's auras and their intentions. Whilst our heroine is investigating who could be behind the attempts on her life, Lucas is trying to discover who murdered his uncle, the previous owner of Crystal Gardens. His uncle was also paranormal and dabbled in botany, with the maze in the garden being full of dangerous plants that can easily kill trespassers. It becomes clear that their investigations could be linked, making Lucas and Evangeline work together to decipher the truth.
It is also apparent that the maze holds more answers for the pair, as it is well-known that an ancient Roman treasure is hidden in the grounds, attracting unsavoury treasure hunters to the gardens. Could their assailants be after the treasure, or is there something paranormal behind their quest?
As a heroine, Evangeline started off well as she seemed strong and independent when escaping from her attacker, and I felt that this was a great opening scene. However, I soon started to get annoyed with her, as her work as a novelist induced frequent references to her writing, with her main character being based on Lucas after just one meeting. I didn't like how easily she gave herself over to him, allowing him to take possession of her with their relationship not seeming equal. She is an intelligent character but there were still times when I wanted to slap her for her stupidity.
I found it difficult to make up my mind about Lucas' character, as there were times when I really admired him, and other times when I felt he was taking liberties. He is very much the outsider of his family in some respects, and is the only one who believes that his uncle was murdered and didn't die of a heart attack. This made him very independent and protective over those he cares about, but at the same time he still respects Evangeline's need to investigate wherever she wants. What annoyed me about him was his control over their relationship, as he seems to stake a claim on her straight away with there being little build up to his affection.
The plot of this book was set up like a mystery, but I almost felt that there were too many avenues that were explored and that the book lost its direction at times. It kept switching from the murder of Lucas' uncle to Evangeline's attacker to the mythical treasure, with some of the links being a tad tenuous. I still enjoyed the book, as I liked the writer's different use of perspectives to show both character's thoughts, as well as those of lesser characters.
I did feel that the romance in the book could have been more developed than it was, as it seemed to occur surprisingly quickly and it didn't feel like a typical romance of the historical era as Evangeline has practically no reservations about giving herself up to him. I had mixed feelings about the ending as some parts were predictable whilst others were a surprise, but overall I did like reading this book and felt compelled to finish it. The paranormal elements were well-explored and felt spiritual, like an energy or aura in the atmosphere, and I felt that this benefited the mystery rather than detracting from it.
I did enjoy reading this book but found the heroine to be annoying at times, and was a little frustrated at some of the unanswered questions. The ending was tied up far too neatly for my liking, but I did like elements of the plot throughout the rest of the book. The paranormal aspect of the plot was well-explored, especially as it heightened Evangeline and Lucas' awareness of each other, but I thought their relationship was too hastily thrown together.

The hosts are super friendly and bemüht.Es really good care of his guests is not an exaggeration to assert that they are places to feel at home. The apartment is very nice and the area seems to be one of the rising to be in Lisbon and everything is wonderfully central. I would always come back. It was a wonderful time.
Die Gastgeber sind super sympathisch und wirklich um das Wohl seiner Gäste bemüht.Es ist nicht übertrieben mit der Behauptung, dass man sich dort wie zu Hause fühlt. Die Wohnung ist sehr hübsch eingerichtet und das Viertel scheint eines der aufsteigenden in Lissabon zu sein und alles ist wunderbar central gelegen. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Es war eine wunderbare Zeit.
The stay has made us a lot of fun. Rui and Claudia were indeed in Dubai and her friend Marfalda us has received and advise us where we can go. It was great family and very relaxed. We will definitely be back :-)
Der Aufenthalt hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Rui und Claudia waren zwar in Dubai und ihre Freundin Marfalda hat uns in Empfang genommen und uns beraten wo wir hingehen können. Es war super familiär und sehr relaxed.
Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder :-)
2x2 days: two days when we arrived, two more before leaving. 2nd time we already felt like old friends coming back. Very friendly and easygoing atmosphere, felt like back in my student days. Flat is ideally situated very close to everything.
Very nice people, eventhough we saw Claudia and Rui just for a minute. Her roommate Mafalda and her boyfriend were very helpful and the flat is very clean and perfectly situated. Would definitely go back:-)
Excellent accommodation in a central location! Cláudia and Rui are very nice hosts! 5 stars :)
Prima Unterkunft in zentraler Lage!
Cláudia und Rui sind sehr liebe Gastgeber!
5 Sterne :)
We had a very nice stay at this address. This place is very close to the centre, there are nice pastelarias around the corner (breakfast). But most important: Claudia and Rui are very warm people, they are very kind and flexible and they really succeeded to make our stay as if we were with friends. They also had a safe place for our bikes. Whenever we are in Lisbon again we try to contact them again. Last but not least: Claudia is a very good fado singer, and Rui gave a virtuoso performance at his sitar!
Cláudia and Rui were the best hosts we could find in Lisbon. Cláudia's welcome our first walk with her through the center of the city, their advice, their entertaining talks ... They were very attentive to our itineraries and tours in Lisbon.
But undoubtedly, the best thing was to hear Cláudia singing fado. Her sweet and magical voice ... How lucky we were!
We can only thank them again and again!
Our stay at Cláudia and Rui's place in Lisbon couldn't have been better! Thanks to their recommendations we not only got to know a wonderful city but also two fantastic people! The apartment is close to the centre, clean and light. Just perfect for everyone looking for a room in Lisbon to a really fair price!
Claudia and stay at Rui was great! The house is clean, the hosts very friendly, open and happy to share their passion for music, but also travel. The accommodation is well located and everything can be done on foot. Very good quality / price ratio. We strongly advise you to book a room at Claudia and Rui.
Le séjour chez Claudia et Rui était super !

Award presentation is followed by a 20th-anniversary screening of Dazed and Confused
Richard Linklater, born in Houston and raised in Huntsville, has been a supporter of the Houston Cinema Arts Festival since its inception. He attended the festival in 2009 with Me and Orson Welles and brought his friend Ethan Hawke to join him in presenting Tape in 2011. Linklater receives the 2013 Levantine Award amidst a career renaissance with this year's release of one of his finest and most popular films, Before Midnight, following 2012's equally well-received Bernie.
Set on the last day of school at Lee High School in the suburbs of Austin, the film follows the activities of a group of students as they celebrate the arrival of summer. When classes end, the incoming freshman boys are hunted down and hazed by the senior boys while the incoming freshman girls are rounded up and suffer the same fate at the hand of the senior girls. Randall "Pink" Floyd, the school's star football player, is asked to sign a pledge promising not to take drugs during the summer or do anything that would "jeopardize the goal of a championship season." Eventually, the students' various paths lead to an awesome keg party at the Moontower.

- Company: Gap
- Price: $54.50-$70
- Official Site: Gap.com
- Release Date: Fall 2009
For years, Gap's denim line was somewhat of a disaster, consisting of jeans that flattered a select few and looked atrocious on everyone else. In 2007, however, the company decided to switch gears, hiring Patrick Robinson as the new creative director to shake things up. With his experience in high fashion, Robinson was an ideal choice to develop an entirely new range of Gap jeans with fits that actually enhance the appearance of real bodies. These fits include straight, authentic, easy, loose, boot cut, and skinny. While these fantastic styles are here to stay, washes and other details will change to reflect the season's fashion trends.
To his credit, Robinson spent a year and a half tweaking Gap's 1969 range, searching for the perfect fabrics, instructing production lines on how to get handmade details just right and trying all his samples on a variety of body types. All of the thought and effort put into the new lineup of Gap jeans really shows. The denim itself is super soft, making these jeans feel like a second skin and letting you move around without restriction as if they were made just for you. Additionally, the cuts are clean and sure to fetch many compliments, the washes are trend-driven yet natural looking, and logos and other unnecessary branding are virtually absent, so rather than detecting your devotion to any particular label, all others will notice that you simply look amazing. For Fall 2009, expect the styles listed above to come with heavy distressing, stonewashing, vintage touches, and selvedge detailing.
One of the biggest selling points of Gap jeans is that some of the line's styles are on par with what you can find at premium denim retailers. Of course, not all styles will work for you, but you'll probably find at least one that suits you. Though the washes are not necessarily timeless, Gap has made staying fashionable dead easy, which is no small feat in the constantly changing world of men's jeans. To keep on top of what's hot, all you have to do is purchase the latest wash in the cut that works best for you, and everything in your wardrobe will suddenly appear fresh and new. The most enticing part, however, of Gap's latest endeavor is that these premium-looking jeans don't come with a premium price tag.

On tonight's special episode of "Impractical Jokers," the tribute to boys who never grow up, Tru-TV states a loud and clear warning that the following program contains scenes of graphic stupidity among four lifelong friends who compete to embarrass each other. Joe Gatto, Sal Vulcano, Brian "Q" Quinn and James "Murr" Murray were all born without filters and would do just about anything to win a challenge, where they went to the Lone Star State on this episode titled "Bigger in Texas." Hope they remember people carry guns down there, before they prank the wrong person! Take a peek here.
At Texas Ranch Life in Chappel Hill, a place where people come to learn real ranching skills, the guys are partnering up to teach city slickers the ropes. Murr & Q will be up against Joe & Sal, and although the only ranch these guys know is ranch dressing, they will act as the teachers. The team that gets the most votes from their group will be the winners, in the challenge called Dude, Where's My Ranch?
As Murr & Q got a volunteer, Murr takes ten steps back and attempts to lasso the pretty woman. Having never held a lasso in his life, he doesn't even come close. Then on to the bullwhip, where they are barely amusing the class consisting of adults of all ages. The orders they are given by the other team make them look more childish than professional cowhands. Then a horse is brought in for them to teach the group how to saddle him. But when Murr's hat blows off, it gives the group more to laugh at as he must go chase after it, then used an air pistol to shoot it. When Q puts the saddle on the horse, it is backwards, which gives another laugh to the group. Then when asked by a show of hands how many learned something of value; they received no hands at all. Leaving the next group with what could possibly be an easy task; or not.
For Joe & Sal, their group did not seem to have a sense of humor as these buffoons went through their antics falling down and making fools of themselves. As Joe was demonstrating the bullwhip, he hit himself with it and went down in pain as Sal laughed his ass off and nobody else cracked a smile. Believe it or not, these two rodeo clowns got two votes; winning this challenge.
For the second challenge, the guys were working at Allens Boots as salesmen, but they must say and do what the other guys tell them. Joe was first and had to spill his guts to a guy about how he came to be in the witness protection program. Murr was next, and helped a young couple find the right hat. As he stacked hat after hat on top of the young woman's head, they got a good laugh at his actions. Next was a young mother holding a small child who needed boots. He told her he was in a rap group called cowboys with a Z. Then he had to make up a rap on the spot for her, but after the first line, he was down for the count. Sal had to measure everything on a guy's body who was just looking for a belt. As this poor guy stood and let Sal make all these outrageous measurements, he finally walked away. Then he had to give the next person who walked in the door a big Texas welcome; he had to say Howdy ass hole. As he did what he was told, the man said that he heard him and needed to tell him to go f himself. When it was Q's turn, he had to push boots from one side of the aisle to a man on the other side. Then he had to ask a young woman if he looked familiar to her; when she said she was never there before, he told her he was a stripper at a bar and thought she bought a lap dance from him. Then he had to give her a demonstration of his moves, but he did not lose this one.
For their last challenge, they had to wear sunglasses that were blacked out inside and walk and move as they were directed. With two strikes against Murr already, he sure was hoping someone else would lose. Murr walked right into the ring of the mechanical bull and had to get on, then he took off the glasses and freaked out. Then he had to walk behind an elderly couple and ask if they clearly remembered the Alamo? Q had so much faith that Murr would not say it, that he took a loss on the whole episode when Murr did finally say the phrase. Q, stated that he was an idiot, and nobody there or watching would disagree.
For the punishment, he was at Tejas Rodeo and had to demonstrate his skills and rope a calf and proclaim to all bystanders that he was the rodeo king of the world from New York City. However, he had no idea; it was he who would be roped and dragged across the ring for everyone to have a good laugh at him. As he was finally getting up, someone in the stands yelled that he was not in New York anymore on this hilarious episode of "Impractical Jokers."

Minutemen are looking win their eighth-consecutive game against a MAC opponent
Jan. 3, 2014
• The Massachusetts men's basketball team welcomes Miami (Ohio) to the Mullins Center for the final game before the start of Atlantic 10 play. Saturday's game will start at 7:00 p.m.• Fans unable to attend the game can watch online at UMassAthletics.com via the Atlantic 10 Digital Network with a simulcast of the UMass Sports Network audio broadcast.• This is the 105th season of UMass Basketball. UMass has an all-time record of 1,218-1,072 (.537) in 2,290 games. UMass is 448-308 (.593) in conference games, including a 284-288 in Atlantic 10 play. The Minutemen have claimed 15 regular-season conference championships and five tournament titles.• The 2013-14 season marks the sixth for head coach Derek Kellogg ... Kellogg starred as a point guard for the Minutemen from 1992-95, playing for coach John Calipari ... Kellogg spent a year as a graduate assistant with Bruiser Flint at UMass, two years at George Mason with Jim Larranaga and eight at Memphis with Calipari, culminating with the 2008 NCAA Runner-up season ... UMass' win totals under Kellogg have gone 12, 12, 15, 25 and 21 last season with a second-consecutive NIT appearance.
GENERAL RPI & SOS INFO• As we get ready to begin conference play, a check of the various RPI numbers shows UMass is ranked No. 1 by ESPN Insider RPI, No. 2 by CBS Sports, RealTimeRPI.com, StatSheet.com, No. 19 by Jeff Sagarin and No. 24 by Ken Pomeroy.• The Minutemen's strength of schedule is No. 1 by ESPN, No. 5 by CBS and RealTime RPI, No. 8 by Stat Sheet, No. 19 by Jeff Sagarin and No. 31 by Ken Pomeroy.
SERIES HISTORY WITH MIAMI & The MAC• UMass and Miami are meeting for the second time in their basketball histories. The Minutemen escaped Millett Hall last season - 367 days ago - thanks to a missed RedHawk layup at the buzzer. Raphiael Putney led UMass with a season-high 20 points and four 3-pointers. Chaz Williams had 10 points and nine assists, while Maxie Esho added nine boards and a career-best four blocks. UMass dominated the boards with a 48-to-32 advantage including a 17-to-6 edge on the offensive glass.• UMass is 13-5 all-time and has won seven-consecutive against current members of the Mid-American Conference. The record against those schools includes: 1-0 vs. Akron, 1-0 vs. Buffalo, 3-0 vs. Eastern Michigan, 0-2 vs. Kent State, 1-0 vs. Miami (Ohio), 3-0 vs. Northern Illinois, 3-0 vs. Ohio and 1-3 vs. Toledo.
UMASS TOUGH IN THE MULLINS CENTER• UMass is unbeaten in the Mullins Center this year with a 4-0 record. Over the past three campaigns, the Minutemen are 14-1 in regular-season non-conference games in the facility with a current seven-game winning streak.• The Minutemen have been strong during the winter break as well, winning their last nine non-league games when the classes are not in session.
60TH MULLINS SELLOUT & 58TH OVERTIME VICTORY• UMass drew a capacity crowd to last Saturday's 69-67 overtime win over Providence with 9,493 in attendance, marking the 60th sellout in Mullins Center history. It was the first since Dec. 2, 2006 against Boston College on a day that opened with an NCAA FCS playoff game against New Hampshire.• It marked the second home sell-out of the season. On Dec. 7, UMass beat BYU 105-96 in front of a sold out MassMutual Center in Springfield with the crowd totaling 7,331. This is the first time UMass has had multiple sell-outs in a season since 1998-99 season.• The overtime contest was the first for UMass this season and saw the Minutemen improve to 58-60 all-time in OT games. UMass has now won its last three games with 'free basketball' - two years ago at Mississippi State in the NIT, last season against Elon in Springfield and last Saturday over Providence.
UMASS RETURNS TO ASSOCIATED PRESS & COACHES POLLS FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1998• Following last Saturday's 69-67 ocertime win over Providence before a capacity 9,394 crowd, UMass held steady in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls, coming in at Nos. 23 and 22, respectively this week. UMass received 160 points in the AP and 137 in the coaches poll.• When the Minutemen debuted in the rankings this season, it ended a drought that dated back to Nov. 1998 in each poll.• UMass has now appeared in the AP Poll 83 times and is 120-30 all-time as a ranked team. The Minutemen have been ranked in the top 10 48 times, the top five 31 times and No. 1 15 times (32-4).
CHAZ IS LIKE A FINE WINE, HE GETS BETTER WITH AGE• Chaz Williams continues to impress with his on-court talents year-in and year-out. While his scoring has been consistently strong throughout his college career, his shooting percentages are at or near all-time highs and his assist-to-turnover numbers are at an all-time high.
Year MPG PPG FG% 3FG% FT% APG TPG A/TO Ratio2009-10 31.7 9.8 .372 .389 .733 4.2 2.5 1.642011-12 34.9 16.9 .410 .419 .788 6.2 3.4 1.832012-13 35.3 15.5 .433 .333 .785 7.3 3.4 2.122013-14 34.4 15.3 .388 .414 .750 7.7 3.3 2.36
• He has 16 double-figure assist games in his career and 14 at UMass, one shy of Carl Smith's record set from 1983-87.
CARTER & ESHO PERFORMING AT HIGH LEVELS• Redshirt senior Sampson Carter and redshirt junior Maxie Esho are both making the 2013-14 campaign one to remember.• Carter entered the year averaging 6.1 points per game over 102 appearances, but has played like a senior who wants to go out with a bang. He is scoring a career-best 12.8 ppg, while his shooting averages - .435 FG%, .359 3FG% and .765 FT% - are all career-highs or close to his season best.• Esho, who has been described as the X-factor by head coach Derek Kellogg at times, is pro- ducing at a high level with 8.3 ppg and 5.7 rpg, ahead of his previous season benchmarks of 5.5 ppg and 5.0 rpg set last year. He has raised both categories each of the past two seasons and had three-consecutive double-figure scoring games for the first time in his career prior to the Florida State game. He also went off at Ohio with game highs of 16 points and 10 rebounds for his first career double-double. He became the sixth different Minuteman to lead the team in scoring this season.
UMASS PLAYING WITH A LEAD... A LOT• Part of the UMass formula for success through 12 games has been to not fall behind. In 485 minutes, the Minutemen have trailed for a total of 56:39 - just 11.7 pct. of the season.• Furthermore, UMass has used its pressing, attcking style to wear down opponents and pull away in the second half. UMass has only trailed for 14:44 of the second half this year, with 5:46 coming in the opener against BC, 4:40 at Eastern Michigan, 3:50 vs. Florida State and 0:28 vs. Providence. They are outscoring teams by an average of 37.8-33.3 in the first half and 41.5-36.7 in the second half.
SCORING POINTS IN BUNCHES• UMass is averaging 80.2 points per game, which places it first in the Atlantic 10 Conference and 43rd nationally. The Minutemen set a school record when they surpassed 80 points in each of their opening five games. They have since accomplished the feat in eight of 12 games.• The Minutemen recorded a season-high 105-point effort against BYU, which also featured a 50-point performance in each half for the first time since Jan. 24, 1995 at Duquesne.
UMASS POSTS TOP SHOOTING GAME OF KELLOGG ERA IN ROAD WIN OVER OHIO• UMass entered last month's game at Ohio having posted two of its three highest shooting games of the year in its two most recent contests. Going up against an Ohio team that ranked 11th nationally in field goal pct. defense (.372), the Minutemen recorded their best shooting night in more than seven seasons, connecting on .615 (32-for-52) from the floor. Additionally, the .643 (9-for-14) from three-point range was the highest since a .727 performance against Duquesne on Jan. 27, 2000.
CHAZ DID WHAT?AND AGAINST THE NO. 9 RPI TEAM IN THE COUNTRY !?!• It's been well documented about Chaz Williams' 32-point, 15-assist, 1-turnover day against BYU in early December. At the end of the day, he was responsible for 66 points out of the 105 for the Minutemen - or 63 percent of the scoring. The 15 assists are tied for the second-most this season.• Williams is the first Division I player with at least 32 points and 15 assists in a non-OT game in the last 15 seasons. The only other player to reach those totals in a game in that span was Antawn Dobie (LIU) in 2003 in a double-overtime win versus St. Francis (NY).
KELLOGG AMONG UMASS TOP FIVE IN VICTORIES• With 96 victories entering the Miami game, sixth-year head coach Derek Kellogg is in third place on the school's career victories list. Jack Leaman won 217 over 13 seasons and John Calipari is second with 193 over eight years in Amherst.
RECAPPING THE CHARLESTON CLASSIC TITLE• UMass improved to 6-0 on the season for the 12th time in school history but just the third time in the last 36 seasons (1995-96 & 2010-11).• The Minutemen led Clemson 34-24 at the half in the title game. It was their largest halftime lead of the season. They have led in their last five games at the break.• UMass had 40-plus rebounds for the sixth-consecutive game and out-rebounded their opponent for the fifth time. The Minutemen also turned 15 offensive boards into 19 second-chance points in the title game, while averaging 17.3 offensive boards and 18.3 second-chance ppg.• The Minutemen improved to 81-69 all-time in regular-season tournaments, including a 11-8 mark in Derek Kellogg's six years at the helm after the tourney title.• Prior to Sunday, the last regular-season tourney title for the Minutemen came three years ago when they defeated New Mexico State and TCU in Springfield for the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off crown; And the last 8-team event title came during the 1995-96 Final Four season. The John Calipari-coached Minutemen won the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii, with victories over NC State, USC and Syracuse.
Cady Lalanne NAMED CHARLESTON CLASSIC MVP, GRABS SECOND ATLANTIC 10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK• UMass junior C Cady Lalanne was named the Charleston Classic Most Valuable Player and Atlantic 10 Player of the Week after averaging a double-double with 15.7 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game in helping UMass capture the Charleston Classic championship.• The Orlando, native opened the tournament with a 15-point, nine-rebound game in a win over Nebraska. He then followed with 12 points, 14 rebounds and a season-high four blocks against No. 19/20 New Mexico and its 7-foot All-America candidate Alex Kirk. In the title game against Clemson, he had a game-high 20 points, 12 boards and another four blocks in a career-high 36 minutes. He had double-doubles against the two toughest foes of the week.

Metro Boston, North Shore and Metro West: Saturday began with very cold temperatures and brilliant sunshine. As the day wore on temperatures recovered well into the 20s during the afternoon as the sun slowly faded behind clouds through the mid to late afternoon hours. This was caused by a weak disturbance in our vicinity that was moving out to sea bringing the increase in clouds but no precipitation. The clouds hung in for the balance of the overnight which helped to keep the mercury from plummeting last night.
Sunday we wake to temperatures some 10 degrees higher from those of yesterday morning. The high pressure system that has been responsible for the dry conditions of late slowly departs as another disturbance approaches southern New England. This system will be a bit more robust than yesterdays weak disturbance and as a result we can expect some snow showers or even a period of steady light snow tonight into early Monday morning. Also, there are snow showers and flurries lingering just offshore this morning and a few of those will skirt the coastline and parts of interior Essex County from time to time today. At 7 am this morning while it was partly cloudy in Boston light snow was falling in Beverly and Lawrence. That will give you are sampling of the changeable skies expected today. Skies are going to be variable today with splashes of sun at times to mostly cloudy conditions with flurries at times.
As we mentioned here yesterday morning snowfall amounts late tonight into Monday morning are only expected to be a dusting to 2 inches with the possibility of a few localized 3 inch totals closer to the coast, especially inside of Route 128/95. There is a chance of heavier snow bands along the north shore coastline and if it occurs there could be around 4 inches right along the coast of Essex County.
The snow winds down around daybreak Monday, followed by partially clearing skies as colder arctic air begins to overspread the region. With that said expect more below normal temperatures through at least mid week. Monday night and Tuesday night will see substantially colder readings. High pressure builds in to give us dry weather through Wednesday.
A coastal storm could impact the area Thursday, perhaps even holding off until later at night. Models have pushed the timing of this event back as originally it was thought to begin late Wednesday night or early Thursday. Snow across the interior and a wintry mix to rain near the coast is possible, but a word of caution, a near miss or complete miss is still an outlier here. Stay tuned.
72 Hour Outlook:
Sunday: Variable cloudiness. Flurries and snow showers closer to the coast mixed with breaks of sunshine. High temperatures in the upper 20s to 30 degrees. Light north to northeast winds.
Sunday night: Snow showers transitioning to light snow. Lows in the upper teens inland to low 20s along the coast. Light south winds turning northwest late.
Monday: Early clouds erode, followed by a partly to mostly sunny day. Highs around 30. West to northwest winds 8 to 15 mph.
Monday night: Turning much colder with a few clouds around. Lows near 10 inland to the upper teens on the coast. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph.
Tuesday and Tuesday night: Continued below normal cold. Mostly clear skies, highs in the low to mid 20s. Lows zero to 5 above interior to around 10 along the coast.

College Hockey:Princeton Nabs Playoff Bid
Stathos' 31 Saves Anchor 3-1 Win Over Brown
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Two second-period goals within a minute and a half and an empty-netter were the difference as Princeton earned a playoff berth in a 4-1 win over host Brown.
Sophomore forward George Parros led the way with a goal and an assist, and junior Dave Stathos was strong in net, letting just one goal by while stopping 31.
The game was all knotted at 1-1 until 16:50 into the second, when Scott Prime put the Tigers up for good. Just over a minute later, Parros added one to extend the score to 3-1, where it would stand until the final seconds.
"At some point in the game we realized they wouldn't give us any slack," Parros said. "We stepped up our game and held on for a good win."
Prime's goal came shortly after a two-on-one chance. After an over-aggressive Brown defenseman gave up the opportunity, Prime put in the second chance to put them on top 2-1.
Parros found the net after a Brown defensive error left him all alone in front. He got a nice goalmouth pass from Brad Parson and drilled it by Brown freshman goalie Yann Danis.
"After we took it in along the boards, I dished it off to [Neil] McCann," Parros said. "I somehow got left alone in front, and all I had to do was just put it in."
It was Princeton jumping out the 3-1 lead, after Brown had basically controlled the first and much of the second. The Bears got on the board first, thanks to the fine play of the freshman line of Shane Mudryk, Brent Robinson, and Adam Saunders.
It was this line that got Brown on the board on their first shift, as a shot off the stick of Saunders was heading wide, but Mudryk batted it out of mid-air past Stathos. Later in the first these three had more scoring chances and drew a penalty, but the Bears never extended the lead.
"It was an ugly first period," Princeton head coach Len Quesnelle said. "We started playing with fundamentals midway through the second and that helped us get on top."
The Tigers, who are unbeaten in their last four games, evened it up at a point where Brown had significant momentum. Just after the halfway point of the first, Parros walked out from the left side and fired a shot on net that was redirected in by David Del Monte. Despite playing a strong period, frustrating Princeton with just long soft shots and little time in the Bears' zone, Brown went to the locker room tied at 1-1.
The Bears controlled the early action in the second, with strong play down low in the Tigers' end. But an over-zealous offense finally got burned for two quick goals, which put them down for the count.
"It's kind of the same old story for us," Brown head coach Roger Grillo said. "It's a nightmare over and over. We just can't finish. That third goal was just a mental lapse."
Brown had some great chances in the third to get within one, but couldn't materialize on the scoreboard. A five-on-three opportunity went down the drain, with just a few shots finding their way to the net. Stathos made 12 saves, some fabulous, to shut the door.
In the closing minutes, Brown emptied the net and finally got a solid shot to the cage. But it bounced out to senior forward Shane Campbell, who skated in down and filled the empty net to make it a 4-1 final.
"The last couple weekends of hockey have been crucial for us," Quesnelle said. "We clamped down defensively, and that is a tribute to Dave [Stathos] and the whole team for playing better together."

How do I install linux/bsd on compact flash with usb compact flash adapter. The compact flash will boot on single board x86 computer as an IDE drive, but I'm doing the install on a regular computer using a usb to compact flash adaptor, thus the compact flash shows up as a USB device instead of as a IDE device, so I can't get lilo to pick it up as hda because it is recognized as usb so I can't get lilo to read the lilo.conf. I would pretty much know what to do if I had a pcmcia adaptor to plug the compact flash into another computer and get recognized as a regular hardrive. Also take in mind the install needs to be under 512mb.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Have you tried PlOP boot manager? It's a CD that forces computers to boot from a USB stick. It doesn't ALWAYS work but it's good. More info at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16822/boot-from-a-usb-drive-even-if-your-bios-wont-let-you/ I'd recommend Puppy Linux for a solid, small, and simple Linux distro -- i'm not well acquainted with BSD.

Visit the Vallarta Botanical Gardens
Located 35 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta along Carr. 200 Sur, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens offer the unique opportunity to get close to the rich variety of fauna and flora available in the region. The living museum features a restaurant, walking and hiking trails and swimming in a nearby river.
The Vallarta Botanical Gardens were started in 2004 with a vision of becoming Mexico's greatest botanical garden. They occupy approximately 20 acres of land in the tropical Jalisco highlands. Since its inception, and thanks to many grants and generous donations, the Gardens have continuously improved their grounds and plant collections. The facility features a large visitor's center (Hacienda de Oro) where you can get acquainted with the many plant varieties available through the grounds while you enjoy a relaxing meal at their own restaurant. Ongoing expansion includes nurseries for plant propagation, a statuary making facility, a number of hiking and walking trails along the grounds, a gift shop and a plant shop.
The view from the visitor's center is spectacular. One side faces the nearby Vanilla and Orchid Conservatory, with a rotating array of exquisite orchids and other stunning flowering plants. Further away, over 6000 blue agaves (Agave tequilana) adorn a nearby hill while the area is being re-forested with native tropical hardwood trees.
The opposite view offers unobstructed views of the nearby Horcones river, where guests of the Gardens are encouraged to enjoy swimming at their own risk. Several hummingbird feeders suspended from the balconies at the restaurant offer visitors an added plus, particularly appealing to those that enjoy birdwatching or nature photography.
Getting There
The Gardens are located right along the highway and parking is available for those traveling on their own vehicle. Public transportation is also available from Puerto Vallarta, where clearly marked buses can be boarded through the day at the corner of Basilio Badillo and Constitución in Emiliano Zapata. The scenic route heads south next to the ocean, offering spectacular views along the way, and heads toward the mountains upon reaching Boca de Tomatlán.
Keep in Mind
- Access to the Gardens is free for members with a valid ID, and $60 pesos for the general public.
- The Hacienda de Oro restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch.
- Although you can ask for some at the Gardens, it's always a good idea to bring you own insect repellent. You are, after all, in the tropics!
- Consider bringing a book or something to do. Once you get there, you will likely want to spend some time relaxing!
- The Gardens are a non-profit organization with tax-deductible status. There are many ways to get involved as a member or volunteer.
- Of their many annual parties and celebrations, their "Night of the Luminaries" is a not-to-be-missed party. Check their website for information and dates.

This is the next step in the implementation of the Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law, signed by Gov. McCrory last summer. The law allows the NCDOT to make better use of its revenues to fund more investments, create jobs and help boost the economy. The projects include major improvements on state-maintained roads such as South College Road, Market Street and Oleander Drive.
Citizens who missed the meeting and want to help prioritize transportation projects in the southeast region can provide comments by calling Division Planning Engineer Patrick Riddle at 910.341.2000 or by visiting the STI public meetings webpage and filling out an online form. The completed form can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or printed and mailed to: Patrick Riddle, Division Planning Engineer, 5501 Barbados Blvd., Castle Hayne, NC, 28429. The deadline to submit the form is August 15.
This is one of the only other methods of funding major transportation projects in the City of Wilmington, other than a transportation bond.

In the essay "You Owe Me" Miah Arnold describes her experience as a writing teacher at the M.D. Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital in Houston, Tex.
"The children I write with die, no matter how much I love them, no matter how creative they are, no matter how many poems they have written, or how much they want to live. They die of diseases with unpronounceable names, of rhabdomyosarcoma or pilocytic astrocytoma, of cancers rarely heard of in the world at large, of cancers that are often cured once, but then turn up again somewhere else: in their lungs, their stomachs, their sinuses, their bones, their brains. While undergoing their own treatments, my students watch one friend after another lose legs, cough up blood, and enter a hospital room they never come out of again."
Arnold joins The Daily Circuit, Monday, Jan. 28 to discuss her essay and her work.

Neena Wanko
Sept. 23, 2013
CHARLOTTE - The East Carolina women's tennis team continued their success in doubles at the Charlotte Invitational this past weekend, as it took eight of 10 matches against Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro and Campbell University during the two-day tournament.
The Pirates began the tournament by sweeping Charlotte in doubles and taking three of four matches against Campbell.
Sophomore Nicole LaDuca and senior Neena Wanko defeated Charlotte, 8-5, and Campbell, 8-6, in flight one. Junior Dana Gray and senior Melis Tanik also went undefeated in doubles play against Charlotte and Campbell in flight three.
The freshman duo of Emily Groeneveld and Michelle Castro saved four match points in flight two to win 9-7 against Charlotte, but fell short against Campbell. Freshmen Betsy Zurawel and Maria Storozheva teamed up in flight four to take their lone doubles match, 8-3, against Campbell.
Following doubles, day one for the Pirates wrapped up with singles play against Greensboro. Wanko and Groeneveld recorded come-from-behind, three set victories in flights two and five, respectively. LaDuca dismissed Yasmin Franco in straight sets in flight four, while Storozheva overcame Asha Iyengar in three sets to win 11-9 in the third set tiebreak. Zurawel won her first collegiate match in flight eight with a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Alisha Burton.
Before rain threatened to cease the day's action, the Pirates were able to squeeze in their singles matches against Campbell. In flight three, Castro defeated Tamara Stanic in straight sets after falling short against Stanic just two weekends ago.
"It was nice to get some revenge," said Castro. "I was upset after the match at Davidson, but when I found out I got to play her again, I was pumped."
Groeneveld won her fifth straight singles match to move to 5-0 in the fall, while fellow classmates Storozheva and Zurawel moved to 2-0 in singles play with victories in flights seven and eight.
"I was happy with our fight," said assistant coach Kirstin Burgess. "We came from behind and won in a few doubles and singles matches, and we won most of our third set tiebreak matches."
The remaining singles matches against Charlotte were cancelled due to rain. The Pirates resume play October 4-5 at the ECU Invitational.

The surviving heroes and villains bury their dead and take some time to mourn. Dr. Fate explains that they tried to save them, but they simply didn't try hard enough. Deathstroke and Giganta gather some of the villains and suggest that they start coming up with a plan of their own. It seems that Circe has been in contact with Brainiac who is offering them all a chance to take over the planet, but they wonder what will happen once he no longer needs them.
Back at the Fortress, the future Luthor fixes the younger Lex's eye while the villains prepare to attack Metropolis along with Brainiac. Batman leads the heroes on the defense but many on both sides are injured or killed. The villains win and Brainiac comes down to the city himself, claiming, "And now this planet is MINE!"
To be continued...
Story - 3: We get a little decompression from last issue's battle, but there's no time to waste getting into the final arc. This was a massive improvement over what we've had lately. Characters are finally acting like themselves again. Even though it made sense for the villains to join up with the heroes, I'm glad to see they're finally on the other side of the fight again.
Since this is still an alternate reality which will lead to the future from the introduction to the DC Universe Online game, anyone who wasn't seen in that video or the subsequent comics set in the future, can die. We actually witness the death of Firestorm, and Booster Gold is probably dead too, unless he survived being crushed with a boulder.
The only problem is that Lex mourns the death of The Atom, who was apparently killed in the space battle from last issue, yet we've seen him in the future of this story. Either these timelines aren't what they appear to be, or there was an oversight by the creative teams. If it's an oversight, it certainly wouldn't be the first in this series, but it would still be a huge disappointment. Here's hoping we get an excellent ending that will explain everything, but I'm not ready to hold my breath just yet.
Art - 5: Sure, the story improved, but the art is the least consistent thing about this series since it's been done by multiple artists and released twice a month. I would have preferred something as solid as this issue had to offer, but once a month over two years.
Mike S. Miller did a fantastic job with the many characters this time out, and that's something I've come to expect from him, but what I've been missing the most are the wonderful backgrounds that have been almost entirely absent in recent issues. The Fortress of Solitude looks great in every panel it's shown. The cemetery has actual gravestones, and even Metropolis, which is still in ruins, looks fantastic. The only place without concrete layouts were the battle scenes at the end, but that worked well too because the focus needed to be on the fighting and the many deaths.
Cover Art - 2: We're still not getting covers that jump of the comic racks and say "buy me." Most of the recent covers have all looked very similar. I'm not opposed to consistency, but I'd rather see a more dynamic theme in place. Some of the characters on the cover either aren't in the issue at all, or they're in the background. If I were in charge, I would have asked for something where the heroes are facing off against the villains, or perhaps something closer to the cemetery scene so we know that characters are really dying and not just in a semblance of danger.

Easy Camp Shock Cord Repair Kit
Anytime your pole elastic breaks (Stanetta has this problem with her drawers), then the Easy camp Shock Cord Repair Kit is exactly what you will need. This kit comes complete with 15 metres of durable pole elastic elastic, a threader and washers.
Simply knot one end of the elastic, thread it through the fibreglass poles that need repairing, then tie another knot at the other end making sure that you've applied plenty of tension to the elastic so that the poles will stay together (but not so much that they won't then come apart).

Caribbean Islands
Situated between 10° and 26°N, and therefore almost entirely within the tropics, all the West Indian islands have a distinctly oceanic variety of tropical climate.
Because of the similarity of weather and climate over this whole area, the Caribbean Islands are described together. Short notes only appear under the separate headings for each political unit or group of small islands.
The islands form a large arc extending eastwards from the Yucatán peninsula of Mexico and the Florida peninsula of the United States.
The larger islands are, from west to east: Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (divided into the two separate political units of Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico. To the north of these larger islands lies a group of small scattered islands: the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
East of Puerto Rico the chain of islands curves southwards as the Lesser Antilles, terminating in Trinidad, which is close to the coast of Venezuela. The Lesser Antilles are often divided into the Leeward Islands group in the north and the Windward Islands group in the south.
Despite the large area over which these islands are scattered, there is a strong similarity of weather and climate everywhere. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea are warm at all times of the year, being influenced by ocean currents from equatorial latitudes which unite to form the Gulf Stream to the north of the Caribbean.
The area lies for the whole year under the influence of the northeast trade winds, or the North Atlantic anticyclone which lies farthest south in the winter period.
Almost everywhere the wettest months are from May to October and the winter period is relatively, but by no means completely, dry. The area experiences no great extremes of temperature; winters are warm and sunny and summers are hot, but without excessively high temperatures so that heat stress is rarely felt. Almost nowhere in the Caribbean have maximum temperatures above 100°F/38°C been experienced, and only in Cuba and the northern islands of the Bahamas do winter temperatures occasionally fall much below 60°F/15°C. This equability of temperature is a consequence of the strong influence of the warm sea. Waves of cold air from North America in winter and spring affect only western Cuba and the northern Bahamas for a few days, and the air arriving in the islands may be as much as 10°-15°F/5°-8°C warmer than when it left the coast of the mainland.
Most of the larger and many of the smaller islands are mountainous, and this gives rise to numerous local differences of weather and climate.
Apart from the fall of temperature with altitude, there is often a big increase of rainfall on the mountains; and the northern and eastern slopes and coasts of the islands are usually considerably wetter than the southern and western sides, which are sheltered from the persistent northeast trade winds.
Unfortunately most of the climatic data available for the West Indian islands is from places at or near sea level, but a good example of the increase of rainfall with altitude can be seen by comparing the table for Camp Jacob on the islands of Guadeloupe with that for Plymouth on the nearby island of Montserrat - both in the Leeward Islands.
Camp Jacob, at an altitude of 530 m/1,750 ft, has more than twice the annual rainfall of Plymouth. It is known that annual rainfall on the highest mountains in Cuba and Jamaica is two or three times that of the places at sea level for which tables are given in this book. In these wetter mountain areas cloud is more frequent than at sea level at all times of the year.
The Caribbean Islands have developed an important tourist trade, and one reason for this is the large number of hours of sunshine around the year. Daily sunshine hours average from seven to nine, with more in the driest months.
The winter months are the driest and sunniest and, at this time, the slightly lower temperatures are made more pleasant by frequent sea breezes and lower humidity. Even in the warmest months the combination of temperature and humidity is rarely very uncomfortable if moderated by a strong breeze.
The tables show that some places have a large number of days with rain; as many as one in two or one in three. This should not be taken to imply that it rains all day; on many days cloud builds up in the afternoon to give short thundery showers in the late afternoon and evening. Prolonged spells of rain are rare and are usually associated with hurricanes or tropical storms, which are the worst features of the weather and climate of the Caribbean.
Hurricanes occur between June and November and are most frequent in the months of August and September. During the worst of these storms 250-500 mm/10-20 in of rain may fall over a period of two or three days and the very violent winds may cause damage. Individual islands may go several years without experiencing a severe hurricane and, on the larger islands, their worst effects may be confined to only one area.
Over the area as a whole, however, some two to three hurricanes may occur each year. They develop east of the Caribbean and move westwards before curving north and east close to the North American mainland. A significant proportion of the rainfall in the months August to October may be caused by hurricanes since places which escape the centre of the storm with its damaging winds may be affected by the cloud and heavy rainfall on the fringe. Tropical storms which do not develop to full hurricane intensity may bring a period of two or three days of cloud and rain.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
Abby Walker readies herself on the blocks before the 100-meter breaststroke in last weekend's Junior Olympics in Concord, CA.
Years of hard work, training and dedication brought 10-year-old Brookings resident Abby Walker to the cusp of amateur swimming elite. Walker's performances in the 50-meter and 100-meter breaststroke earned her an invitation to the prestigious Junior Olympics held last weekend in Concord, CA.
Facing swimmers who train multiple times a day, and compete in meets every weekend, Walker proved she belongs in the pool racing with the best amateur swimmers in the region.
Walker finished on the medal stand with a time of 1:39.60 in the 100-meter breaststroke, taking home an eighth-place medal in the process.
"I was really happy about that," said Walker of her medal winning performance. "I felt really special and really strong."
Walker's mother Lana explains that during the preliminaries her daughter had to fight through as a lower seed to earn the respect of competitors and race officials.
"The outside lanes are slowest and Abby was seeded in lane 8, meaning they thought she wasn't much competition," Lana Walker said regarding Abby's preliminary heat. "Abby came out of the turn and pushed hard the last 10 to 15 meters and almost tied for first in her heat. Everyone took notice then."
Walker's 1:39.60 shattered her old personal record of 1:41.66 by more than two seconds.
It was an impressive performance from Walker who didn't perform as well earlier in the competition in her bread-and-butter event, the 50-meter breaststroke.
Having little time to warm up and without her teammates there to support her, Walker admitted she did not swim her best in the 50-meter event.
"It was not my best race at all. I didn't feel like I pushed my hardest," said a humble Walker, stating that not hearing her teammates support her on made a difference. "They are the ones I can hear cheering when I'm in the water and in my mind, it makes me swim faster."
Walker still managed to finish 12th out of 26 swimmers in the 50-meter race. Coupled with her eighth place finish out of 19 competitors in the 100-meter breaststroke, Walker is proud but still hungry for more.
"Now I know what (the Junior Olympics) look like and how it works. If I try harder I could do much better. I plan on working my butt off to get back there," she said.

What seemed like an ordinary information forum on the upcoming participatory budgeting session for District 27 was upgraded with the presence of New York City Public Advocate Letitia 'Tish' James.
The session, hosted by Councilman I. Daneek Miller, who was also present, sought to give residents information on how they could participate in allocating $1 million in capital discretionary funds.
The presence of the elected officials became an opportunity to touch on some additional issues in the community and highlighted that the city government is interested in the process. Twenty-two Councilmembers will be participating in the participatory budgeting process.
Participants in the session, which was held at the Alpha Phi Alpha Senior Center, was comprised of civic leaders and residents who were all well ahead of their senior years. There was a concern that the timing of the session, held at 2P, didn't coincide well with residents work schedules. Participants also wanted clarification on which items should be used in the budgeting process versus what the City already has on their radar. Many traffic issues were cited by participants as viable allocations for the funds.
The Participatory budgeting process is currently in its early stages. This is the second information session held by Councilmember Miller. District 31 recently took part in the participatory budgeting process. Click here for more information and a recap of the first information session.

For many young artists from Central and Eastern Europe photography offers the safe position of an observer in the flow of an ever-changing civil society – a position that might help others to find their own identity.
The young artists gathered in LAB EAST have developed self-confidence, they seem focused and open to the exchange of ideas. In their photography form does not dominate the content. Instead the artists use empathy, intelligent critique and humour to describe their personal environment.
LAB EAST shall encourage the discussion about aesthetic and socially relevant questions. The chosen form of presenting the 30 artistic positions in an alphabetical order offers a vivid alternation of visual language and topics. It thus parallels the dynamics of historical events and recent developments.
H. Cløver lives in Berlin, Germany. Apart from writing, he works as a photographer, publisher and graphic designer.
