Locals compete at state
Evergreen placed sixth in the Class 4A state gymnastics team standings Nov. 6 at Thornton High School. Grace Kishimoto had the best finish in the individual all-around, taking 13th. Teammate Alexa Endsley placed 17th and Sadie Rhoades-Barnes took 21st. Margaret Streett and Mira Zizic closed out the all-around placers for the Cougars, finishing 24th and 25th. On Nov. 7, Kishimoto placed 11th in the bars and Rhoades-Barnes placed eighth in the beam individual event finals.
By Craig Harper — For the Courier
EVERGREEN — Facing a 2-0 deficit in a match that would determine a berth in the state Class 4A volleyball tournament, Evergreen's Liz Hudd followed standard coaching procedure by tinkering with her lineup.
But during the break prior to the third set, Hudd took an unconventional tack: yoga.
LAKEWOOD — Evergreen coach Rob Molholm had plenty of restless nights preparing for D'Evelyn senior quarterback Owen Burke.
"Owen is a heck of a quarterback," Molholm said "He gave me nightmares all week long. Boy, did he have me stressed."
Molholm's defense was the ultimate cure for his anxiety heading into the showdown against D'Evelyn on Nov. 6 that determined the Class 3A Metro North League champion.
EVERGREEN — With most of the pieces back from Evergreen's 2014 boys soccer team, this year's run to the Class 4A semifinals was not unanticipated.
The return of Brock Anderson solidified it.
EVERGREEN — Evergreen senior Hayden Cogswell hadn't scored a goal in nearly two months.
The speedy midfielder picked a perfect time to end his goal-scoring drought with the eventual game-winning goal Nov. 3 in the Class 4A boys soccer second-round playoff game at Evergreen High School. Cogswell scored his second goal of the season on a rocket of a shot past Palmer Ridge goalie Mason Cresap in the 20th minute to give the Cougars a 2-1 lead.
November is often referred to as the brown month. Nightly frosts have put an end to the green growing season, and meadows and prairies have slowly turned brown.
Although we may have snow, there is seldom enough to stay on the ground for long, and before we settle into the black-and-white days of winter, we have about a month of brown frozen weeds and grasses. November is usually the month when the summer growth has matured and ripened seeds.
League title on the line
Evergreen and D'Evelyn will decide the Class 3A Metro North League football title 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, at Trailblazer Stadium in Lakewood. Both enter the showdown with identical 7-2 overall and 4-0 conference records. The game will also be key for the postseason, which begins next week. The Colorado High School Activities Association will release the 16-team 3A state tournament bracket Sunday, Nov. 8.
EVERGREEN — Junior Brock Anderson's two goals were the bookends on a textbook postseason performance by Evergreen's boys soccer team Oct. 28.
Anderson zipped a shot into the top corner of the net in the 5th minute in the opening round of the Class 4A state tournament to get the scoring underway on a crisp night in Evergreen. The junior capped off the 6-1 victory against No. 29-seeded Thompson Valley, scoring his second goal in the final minute for the No. 4 seed and 4A Jeffco League champions.
HIGHLANDS RANCH — Before the season, Liz Hudd and Andrea Eddy had a hunch Evergreen might have a pretty good volleyball team, certainly better than the one that went 15-10 and finished fifth in Class 4A Jeffco League in 2014.
But capturing the program's first league title since 1998 by handing defending champion Valor Christian its only conference loss in its first two years of Jeffco play in the league finale?
COLORADO SPRINGS — Evergreen junior Brandon Swenson made a leap up the ranks of the elite cross country runners in the state this season.
Not only did Swenson move up from the Class 2A ranks where he ran for Clear Creek High School as a sophomore. He also made a significant jump on his finish at the state cross country meet held Oct. 31 at Norris-Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs.

Q&A: Caulking Cypress Paneling
From Margaret Everton on May 20, 2009 in Tools and Tips
"We have put cypress walls in our home and I need to know what to put in between the boards to fill the cracks. We have been told that this wood breathes and to use something that stays elastic, otherwise it will crack. I hope you can help me."
I do believe we can help. This question is not as difficult as it may seem. The main problem for most people is that we just don't know that much about cypress. So first a bit on the wood itself.
Although typically grouped with hardwoods, cypress is actually a softwood, one of only two conifers that shed their leaves every year. Its native to swampy areas from Delaware and follows the coastline through Florida to Texas' gulf shores and the other wet regions of the South. If cypress is rare it is in large part because the swamps that it calls home can be very hard to get to.
Cypress is very durable and rot resistant thanks to oils in its heartwood, which make it a classic choice in exterior siding, shutters, shingles, trim, and fence posts. In addition to paneling, cypress' interior applications include molding, cabinetry, flooring, and furniture. Cypress sapwood has a pale yellow color while the heartwood varies from light to dark brown. It typically comes from the lumberyard in 4" to 12" wide boards.
In terms of interior wall claddings, cypress panels are usually tongue-and-groove or shiplap design. Like other wood products, cypress paneling will certainly "breathe", or expand and contract, as temperature and humidity change. In most cases, caulking shouldn't be necessary for interior applications (unless painting) where temperature fluctuates much less than outside, especially if the wood is acclimated prior to installation.
However, as is the case for our reader, caulking may be necessary, especially if in a bathroom, kitchen, or other area where moisture is oft present. For cypress, on interior or exterior surfaces, you should use a high grade, non-hardening acrylic caulk or its equal. You can actually look at a tube of caulk on the hardware store shelf and look for a number, i.e. 10-year or 20-year. That number represents how long the caulk should hold before losing its elasticity. Do not expect the caulk to actually last that long but it does present an easy guide—the higher the number the better.

Colored caulks are also available that can closely match the color of the wood. Again, the most important factor is flexibility. Silicone caulks are highly flexible and weather resistant but are usually not paintable. Manufacturers however make "silicone-ized" caulk that sometimes may be painted with water or oil-based paints. A good and simple rule of thumb is to read the label on the caulk carefully to make sure that it fits your particular application. As rare and beautiful as cypress is, it does not act too differently than most other softwoods.

Feb. 17, 2004
LOS ANGELES - Coming off its only loss of the season at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoors two weeks ago, the second-ranked UCLA men's tennis team rebounded strongly with a 6-1 victory over BYU Tuesday at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.
Tuesday marked the sixth time in nine matches that the Bruins started play by claiming the doubles point. Following an 8-2 UCLA victory at the No. 2 position, the Bruins clinched the point at the top spot when 36th-ranked Alberto Francis and Kris Kwinta defeated Erik Nyman/Nima Roshan, 8-3.
UCLA then jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage when Tobias Clemens breezed to a 6-2, 6-0 decision over Nyman at the No. 1 position.
Next to finish was court No. 5, where UCLA's Chris Surapol dispatched of Dominik Kaufhold, 7-6(3), 6-2. The match was clinched at the No. 3 position, Francis defeated Ivan Kokurin, 7-5, 6-0.
BYU, which is coached by former Bruin All-American Brad Pearce, picked up its only point on the day at the No. 2 position, where Christian Hand battled back from a first set loss to defeat Bruin junior Chris Lam, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2.
Despite dropping the first set on court Nos. 4 and 6, UCLA managed to gut out victories on both those courts. Kwinta defeated Roshan, 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 at the No. 4 spot, while sophomore Aaron Yovan came back to defeat Tim Bradshaw, 5-7, 6-4, (10-8).
UCLA's only loss this season came at the hands of top-ranked Illinois in the finals of the USTA/ITA National Team Indoors back on Feb. 8.
The Bruins head to the Arizona schools later this week, taking on Arizona State on Friday and Arizona on Saturday.

I'm helping build a WordPress site for a client, and they've let me know that they want to offer trial subscriptions for their site (they run on a subscription-based model - everything but the homepage is locked down until a subscriber logs in; this log-in system is managed by WordPress by default, along with a role-management plugin for barring users from seeing pages without having the right privileges). They need process a lot of trial orders every day (the ordering system is manual - they take orders from clients by phone), which means they'll need to invalidate or delete a lot of trial usernames and passwords every day.
I've been searching for a WordPress plugin that would allow them to automatically invalidate trial users (based on roles, perhaps) after, say, a week, but so far, nothing has come up. Is there any sort of functionality (either by default, or through a plugin or script) that would allow me to automate the process? The one helpful link I found is a question on StackOverflow (Auto Delete WordPress Users According to Time since Registering) that suggests a running a script that removes users from the database through
cron; however, the site is running on a managed Windows server (IIS 6.0), so I don't have access to
Is there anything I can do, short of recommending hiring a plugin developer to write something for them?

Large investments by pharmaceutical firms in emerging economies are also driving growth in cell biology. Asia, in particular China, is the leading target for these investments and, if the trend continues, is expected to surpass Europe in R&D intensity within the next three to four years. An example of such an investment is AstraZeneca's $100 million facility in Shanghai, which is focused on R&D for cancer therapies. Similarly in 2008, GlaxoSmithKline invested $116 million in an Asia-based R&D facility in Jurong, Singapore.
The increasing number of clinical research organizations (CROs) in China and India is another driver of cellular biology sales to emerging economies. Within the last five years, the number of CROs in China has grown rapidly, increasing service offerings and consequently driving outsourcing.
Chinese companies are taking advantage of the outsourcing opportunities, expanding from basic chemistry offerings to include lead optimization, enzyme/cell assays, and ADME/Tox studies. This extensive menu of services, combined with low-costs and innovation, is positioning China as an R&D services competitor to the U.S.
Cellular biology is a segment of the life science tools industry that should not be overlooked. Driven by government funding, a changing pharmaceutical R&D philosophy, and increasing R&D presence in emerging economies, cellular biology and its encompassing technologies have shown impressive resilience in the midst of a frightening economic environment.

Many "X-Files" faithful want to believe that a third film could be on the way, and 2014 mumblings indicate this dream may become reality. In a recent "ask me anything" (ama) on Reddit, series creator Chris Carter said of a possible third cinematic installment "Just you wait." While he didn't confirm solidified plans for the future of the franchise, his statement hints that there's at least hope. And as any respectable X-Phile knows, where there's hope there's a will to believe.
Earlier this year Gillian Anderson, who portrayed "The X-Files" protagonist Dana Scully, left plans similarly open. However she did state that it wouldn't realistically occur until 2016. Thankfully Carter alluded to a continuation of "The X-Files" lore rather than a "monster of the week" style film. 1998's "The X-Files: Fight the Future" fell between seasons five and six, and focused on an already established mythology. The second movie, "The X-Files: I want to Believe" opted for a standalone narrative. Playing out like an elongated episode, it was simultaneously exhilarating and tiresome. Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), Scully, and Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi), offered a real treat in resuming their familiar roles, but the story oozed along dully.
It's relieving to know that there's even the possibility of a third flick, and moreover that unlike the rickety "I Want to Believe," that it will follow the mythology. Though 2014 has delivered hints and whisperings of a third "The X-Files" movie, if there's anything the brooding series taught fans, it was to trust no one. Is another "The X-Files" film the truth you search for, or would you rather see the script terminated by alien bounty hunters? Leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts!

The following guest post was written by Christine Howell who frequently writes about Online Education Degrees and college related topics for Online College Guru, an online college directory and comparison website.
Parental participation in their child's schooling can dramatically improve student performance and reinforce the positive relationship bonds between a parent and their child. Doing homework together is probably the single most effective technique for improving a student's performance, but it can be difficult. It is very easy to ask your child if they have done their homework. It is much harder to plan frequent time to do homework together with them, but that is in fact the best way to obtain good results.
Be the Rabbit for your Runner
Runners and other athletes often employ others to accompany them in training and competition because this accompaniment acts as a motivational device. When one is a student, it can be very difficult to maintain a high level of academic motivation. Life is quite complicated and young people are often so busy learning about themselves and other people in their world that there is little space left for interest in academic subjects. Lacking the benefit of years of experience, they may easily consider many of their school subjects boring and irrelevant to their own active lives.
A parent who participates frequently in doing homework with their child essentially adds enthusiasm to an otherwise bleak situation, and this rabbit effect slowly increases a student's own enthusiasm. Instead of confronting homework alone and disinterested, a student with a participating parent finds homework slightly less boring, or re-phrased, slightly more interesting. This slight increase can have enormous effects, perhaps not immediately, but certainly over the long run.
Be a Friend, not a Supervisor
Most parents are familiar with the duality of being both a supervisor and a friend to their child. In some cases being a supervisor is obviously required, but in academic matters, aside from insisting upon certain basic behavior, being a supervisor is generally of little use in improving the academic performance of a child. A child already has many supervisors in their life, but they have very few close friends who will share the annoying task of understanding school subjects and doing homework with them. A parent who enters the homework-doing assignment as a friend who will share both the drudgery and the occasional interest is a valuable friend indeed.
Interest is Infectious
Showing intellectual interest in the specific subjects at hand can be one of the most effective devices when encouraging a student. Interest is highly infectious, and when a parent is willing to discuss an academic subject as an equal with their child, not teaching, but learning together with them, the transfer of interest is fairly easy. Most parents will also be surprised to find out how interesting their child's homework can actually be. Re-visiting lessons learned only partially in one's own youth is easily as interesting as doing the crossword puzzle in the Sunday paper. Lessons learned and subjects studied together with another person are more likely to stimulate intellectual curiosity in a child and the experience also has the added benefit of reinforcing the friendship between the study-mates.

Great tip. The desire to learn is one of the most important characteristics in success, and anyway that you can encourage the hunger for knowledge should definitely be pursued. Also buy lots of books.

I liked the title and it is really a point of discussion. I would like to ask a question that to what extend parents should get involved in their children schooling? I agree with the point that being a friend can give you access and hold more than being a supervisor.

If only we weren't so honest! How we'd love to say to someone, "Yes, we wake up looking like this in the morning." That would be a fib, though, and we really aren't comfortable with fibbing. The Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Invisible Skin Fusion Foundation ($56) makes it look like we're not wearing makeup, like our skin is naturally even and clear. It's an illusion, but what a nice illusion it is.

College Hockey:A special weekend indeed
Minors were major
There was a lot of scoring this weekend, but there might not have been nearly as much offense were it not for some potent power plays. There were 25 power-play goals scored this weekend on 122 combined opportunities, which equates to a 20.5 percent success rate. That's great for one team, but as a full weekend's average? Insane. Add to that eight shorthanded goals (see below for more on that) and one empty-net goal, and you have 34 "specialty" goals out of 71 total goals scored.
Seven of the dozen contests played between Friday and Sunday featured PPG's by both teams, while only one – Saturday's Brown-Clarkson event – was perfectly killed all around.
Kills were killer
The league saw eight shorthanded goals this weekend – which is an awful lot – but even more outlandish is the fact that five of them were scored in two games. Two were scored in a 10:11 stretch of the third period by Cornell (in Friday's 3-2 comeback win at Quinnipiac) and three more were scored in Saturday's Rensselaer at Union tilt. That match included two Dutchmen shorties within a 4:08 span of the first period, and RPI's only goal (in the third) in the 5-1 contest.
Princeton had an undermanned strike against Colgate on Friday, and the Raiders gave up another one the following evening at QU. The final SHG of the weekend was tallied by UNH early in Saturday's second period against Dartmouth, and it proved to be the game-winner in the Wildcats' eventual 4-1 victory.
Overall, the eight outnumbered goals tallied by ECAC squads this weekend increased the league's total overall SHG's by 40 percent (from 20 to 28).
Big Four membership rescinded?
Warning: this will probably catch me some flak from, well, certain flacks.
With only three non-conference games remaining on the league's regular-season docket (Connecticut at Princeton on January 31, and Harvard's two Hockey East Beanpot games), it has been decided that ECAC Hockey will – once again – finish the season with losing records against each of the other "Big Four" conferences: the CCHA, Hockey East, and WCHA. It will mark the fifth consecutive season of such national submission, and with every out-of-league defeat, it gets harder and harder to substantiate the ECAC's claim to "Big Four" status.
In fact, ECAC Hockey has only rolled into the NCAA's with a winning record against one other Big Four league, ever – the CCHA – in the last ten years, and that happened twice: 2004-05 and '06-07. (Potential correction: I feel as though I mistakenly posted that ECAC Hockey had bested Hockey East last season, but in checking my numbers, I see that to be false at this time. But then, maybe I never made that assertion in the first place, in which case ignore all this.) In any event, the conference has been playing what effectively amounts to AAAA ball against major-league opponents, generally crushing Atlantic Hockey foes but falling more often than not to the – let's just admit it – Big Three.
There are a lot of things that are top-notch about ECAC Hockey, with academic standards leading the way by a country mile. Unfortunately, for any number of reasons, the quality and viability of hockey on a national stage is not – nor has it been in quite some time.

2012 Wildfire Season Breaks Records in Colorado
Colorado's 2012 wildfire season was a record-breaker.
Colorado's 2012 wildfire season was a record-breaker.
The High Park Fire Fire is 100% contained at 87,284 acres. It should be noted that "containment" means that a containment line exists around the fire, which fire managers believe will hold the fire within the perimeter. "Control" means that the fire is actually out which, on a fire of this magnitude, typically requires an act of nature such as prolonged rain or snowfall.
Hot spots will continue to exist within the perimeter during the containment phase and residents should expect to see smoke for days and weeks as the fire moves from containment to control.
Fire crews and other work crews will be working in the fire area all week. Citizens are urged to avoid the area if possible and drive cautiously and defensively.
Residents are urged to read the material posted at larimer.org/highparkfire regarding returning home and clean-up efforts.
Starting in 1935, wildfire policy was "all fires out by 10 A.M." This policy was instituted and evolved out of a totally out of control wildfire called "The Big Blowup," that swept the Northern Rockies in 1910. 5 million acres burned and killed 78 firefighters {87 in all} during this catastrophic event which took place in just two days believe it or not.


text: This retest would verify flight readiness of redesigned shield mechanisms and would be considered a vital part of the OWS 1 acceptance test. A pin-release panel would be used for this purpose after appropriate 'walk- through' procedures were exercised and prior to the planned 'ordnance deployment.' All three of these activities were to be performed at McDonnell Douglas prior to shipment of the flight article from Huntington Beach, and after arrival at KSC. 'Walk-through' was defined as a simple verification that no mechanical binding of any linkage would occur upon installation of the meteoroid shield. 'Mechanical separation and deployment' was defined as a hands-off automatic deployment, with the shield rigged to less than flight loads, and a test that could be performed repeatedly without panel replacement. 'Ordnance deployment' would represent the ultimate deployment verification. A separate ordnance panel with primary and backup expandable tubes would be required, and the deployment would be fully automatic and remotely controlled.

Sam Amidon My Old Friend Lyrics
Last updated: 05/18/2013 03:51:14 AM
My old friend, I recall
Times we had are hanging on my wall
I wouldn't trade them for gold
They laughed and they cried me
And somehow sanctified me
They're woven in the stories I have told
And tell again
My old friend, I apologize
For the years that have passed since the last time you and I
Dusted off those memories
Running in the races people and the places
There was always somewhere else I had to be
Time gets thin my old friend
Don't know why
Don't know why
Don't know why
Don't know why
My old friend, this song's for you
'Cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
To tell the world that you were here
The love and the laughter
Will live on long after
All of the sadness and the tears
We'll meet again, my old friend
Goodbye, goodbye!
Goodbye, goodbye!

text: Dec 14, 2012 06:55 MLB notebook: With Shields, Royals enter win-now mode MLB notebook: With Shields, Royals enter win-now mode Tampa Bay starting pitcher James Shields throws during the first inning of a baseball game against the New York Yankees Tuesday, July 3, 2012, in St. Petersburg, Fla. (AP Photo/Mike Carlson) The Associated Press Comments KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When James Shields broke into the big leagues with Tampa Bay, the Rays were no better than the Kansas City Royals. They lost more than 100 games his first season and fared little better the following year. But by his third season as a starter, the Rays had turned the corner, many of their prized prospects forming the nucleus of a team that upstaged AL East stalwarts Boston and New York and advanced all the way to the World Series. Now, after a blockbuster deal that sent Shields and fellow right-hander Wade Davis to the Royals late Sunday, the former All-Star pitcher believes everything is in place for Kansas City to replicate the Rays' success. "The Royals are definitely on the right track," Shields said Monday. "I've been there when we've lost 100 games before. I've also won 96, 97 games before, and I think me and Wade bring a little of that to the table, knowing how to win and what it takes to win." The Royals haven't known what that's like in years. Despite the matriculation of their best prospects to the big leagues, the Royals struggled to a 72-90 record and a third-place finish in the AL Central last season. It was their ninth consecutive losing season and extended to 27 the number of years it has been since the franchise last played in the postseason. The biggest reason for the lousy finish was a dearth of starting pitching, and that's something that general manager Dayton Moore has been aggressively trying to resolve. Along with acquiring Shields and Davis, Moore re-signed Jeremy Guthrie to a three-year, $25 million deal and acquired Ervin Santana and his $12 million salary from the Los Angeles Angels. That means Kansas City's top four starters next season weren't on their Opening Day roster this past year. "Our goal is to add as much pitching depth as we can, as every organization tends to do, especially this time of year," said Moore, adding that Bruce Chen, Luke Hochevar and Luis Mendoza could compete for the final job in spring training. The Royals mortgaged their future to put it together. Tampa Bay's biggest prize in the six-player swap is outfielder Wil Myers, widely regarded as the top prospect in the minors. The 22-year-old hit .314 with 37 homers and 109 RBIs last season, and he starred during the All-Star Futures Game, driving in three runs. He also sent righty Jake Odorizzi, the Royals' top pitching prospect, left-hander Mike Montgomery and third baseman Patrick Leonard to Tampa Bay. Kansas City also will receive another player or cash. Dodgers GREINKE DEAL OFFICIAL:Flush with cash after the team's sale, the Los Angeles Dodgers are busy spending it on pitching. The team introduced left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin on Monday, making him the first player to go directly from the Korean league to the major leagues. And he was just the setup man. The Dodgers finalized a six-year, $147 million deal with right-hander Zack Greinke later in the day. "We were definitely hoping for Zack," said Magic Johnson, a partner in Guggenheim Baseball Management, which bought the team last spring. "Zack is a proven winner. When you put him together with Clayton (Kershaw), man, we feel really good." Greinke split last season with Milwaukee and the Los Angeles Angels. He went a combined 15-5 with a 3.48 ERA in 34 starts and was 5-0 with a 2.04 ERA in his last eight starts. Ryu signed a six-year, $36 million after talks went down to the final seconds of the negotiating window. The Dodgers paid $25.7 million for the right to negotiate with Ryu. Reds LUDWICK RETURNS: Left fielder Ryan Ludwick signed a two-year, $15 million deal Monday to stay with Cincinnati. He agreed to the deal over the weekend. It includes a mutual option for the 2015 season. The 34-year-old batted .275 with 26 homers and 80 RBIs in 125 games last season. He started 107 games in left field. When first baseman Joey Votto got hurt at midseason, Ludwick emerged as one of the team's most consistent run producers. Around the majors The White Sox agreed to a three-year, $12 million contract with infielder Jeff Keppinger. ... The Pittsburgh Pirates re-signed reliever Jason Grilli to a two-year contract worth $6.75 million. ... The Detroit Tigers agreed to a one-year deal with catcher Brayan Pena.

I just had my Al Pacino moment
Seriously though you don't know that catchphrase LOL
Nothing personal, strictly business
How's that because he plays for Galata now?
They are gonna be a best team in the future. He is not ready i think. He had a lot time to play and he needs to learn the game-plan of the team and his teammates
Yeah. I replied to your post. Hopefully it makes sense
Poor match they changed him in the beginning of the second half
They still have Drogba
A bit late to say you

Some thoughts from a kitty's perspective
spring!March 23rd 2010 3:43 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Finally it is getting warmer! Mom even put a litter box out on the screened porch since I do not like to come inside to go, and I had a couple accidents out there. Anyways, there are lots more birds out, and I got to go for a walk already! Oh it was so nice to dig in the dirt on the side of the house. Our dirt has alot of sand in it so it never really freezes and I dug a pretty big hole & "marked" MY PROPERTY for the other cats that come around. We haven't seen a few of them lately, and we hope that nothing bad happened to them. We put food out by the alleyway, to try & help them. Mom got me some cat grass seeds, and she has them in a pot, so I can't wait - I love my salad! HAPPY SPRING TO ALL!!

Christine Elliott posted her first double-double of the season with 10 points and 13 rebounds.
Nov. 17, 2011
DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU women's basketball team held TCU to its fewest points in 13 years under head coach Jeff Mittie in a 47-38 win in Moody Coliseum Thursday night to improve to 3-0 on the season. TCU fell to 1-2 after scoring the fewest points by an SMU opponent since the Mustangs held San Jose State to 37 points on Jan. 15, 2005.
Despite the tenacious defense on both ends of the floor, three Mustangs finished with double-figures in points, led by senior Christine Elliott who posted her first double-double of the season and 15th of her career with 10 points and 13 rebounds. Senior Samantha Mahnesmith led the team for the second time this year with 12 points, while junior Alisha Filmore had 10 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
The Mustangs trailed just once in the game for just over a minute when Delisa Gross hit a 3-pointer with 9:34 left in the second half to give TCU a 29-27 lead. Filmore hit a layup with 8:22 to go in the game to tie the score and Elliott gave SMU the lead back for good with a layup with 7:37 left to play. A minute later Filmore hit a three to stretch the lead to five and Elliott hit a pair of free throws with 6:02 on the clock to make it a 7-0 run.
TCU cut the lead to three when Natalie Ventress hit three free throws with 1:19 left, but SMU made six free throws, three by Krystal Johnson. Johnson missed her fourth free throw of the final minute, but Elliott grabbed the rebound to help hold TCU scoreless for the final 1:19 to take the win.
SMU opened the game on an 11-2 run, holding the Horned Frogs to just one field goal in the first 6:45 seconds. The Mustangs led by as many as 10 in the first half, but TCU cut the lead to one, 19-18, with 1:31 to go before the break. Mahnesmith hit a pair of free throws and then a turnaround jumper at the buzzer to stretch the lead to five at the half, 23-18.
Johnson finished with six points, and Akil Simpson scored four points with eight rebounds. SMU out-rebounded TCU 47-42, but turned 24 offensive rebounds into 15 second chance points, while the Horned Frogs got just 14 offensive boards for six second chance points.
The Mustangs travel to Denton, Texas for a game against North Texas on Tuesday. SMU will then host its annual Hoops for the Cure Tournament on Nov. 25-26. The Mustangs will open the tournament against Cal State Fullerton on Friday at 6 p.m.

Perfect for business and personal contact management
By M3Industries
from Denver, CO
This is a perfect way to keep those contacts you want to keep in writing. The perforation makes it easy to pull things in and out as you need it and the extra space for notes on each contact is perfect for noting business relationship type stuff. I don't need tons of sheets of the entire alphabet for contacts in my planner. This is the perfect way to customize for the limited number of contacts I want down on paper.
Paper Contacts Pages: Everything Old is New Again
By Barbseptember
from Nashville TN
Having lost electronic contact information in the past, I have resorted to improvising with various Circa pages to create a usable, but messy, contact section. Finally, I have a neat, easy to use, well-designed contact page! I especially love the perforation feature so that I can record the information now and worry about alphabetizing contacts later.
I Love my paper 'Apps'
By PenGurl
from Issaquah, Washington
I got a couple of pages of Contacts when I got this year's refill, but I am using the contacts section more and more, so I needed more contacts pages. I am glad these Apss are available separately as my needs for all of the sections are not equal. For instance I need more Contacts pages than I need pages for Ideation Staion (at least untill I really figure out how to use the 'Station.'

Good idea inexpertly executed
By rosalita
from Iowa
I really liked the idea of having a paper-based address book, and I had a spare Junior Circa notebook to house it, so these contact sheets seemed like the perfect fit.Function: One of the features I was most pleased about was being able to separate the sheets into individual contacts to make adding, updating and re-arranging to maintain alphabetical order easier. Unfortunately, the top and bottom contact sheets do not line up with each other, so that if you put a sheet from the bottom of the pad into the holes at the top of your notebook it sticks up above the contacts that were taken from the top of the pad. Similarly, trying to put contacts from the top of the pad at the bottom makes the two sheets overlap and covers up information. This makes the whole notebook look sloppy and unattractive.Quality: I was disappointed that the paper is not particularly fountain-pen friendly. Even using a fine nibbed pen there is enough show-through (not bleed-through) to make me reluctant to write on the back of the sheets because of how it shows through to the front.
Not Just a Backup
By csdrbrg
from South Windsor, CT
For the 'digitally inclined,' its nice to have a paper backup for those rare moments when you grab for a pen and paper.I bought this for my own back-up/paper use and my mother-in-law commented on it. So, I bought 2 pads for her and put them in the cover set that came with A starter kit. She was thrilled! She loved the extra space for notes and loves the idea of being able to detach each record when they need updating. You should have seen her old multiply-crossed-off pages she was keeping - yuck! She's now got an updated list with her Levenger contact sheets. At $0.40/sheet, its a bit pricy...but the quality of the paper should hold up for quite awhile.

Voting Rights
"The right to vote freely for the candidate of one's choice is of the essence of a democratic society, and any restrictions on that right strike at the heart of representative government."-- Chief Justice Earl Warren, Reynolds vs. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964)
Voting is a fundamental right that is the cornerstone of our democracy. ACLU-TN is committed to ensuring that every citizen has the right to vote.
ACLU-TN's work on voting rights focuses on felony re-enfranchisement. The ACLU-TN Right to Vote (RTV) Campaign seeks to link former felons to their right to vote as a part of its larger commitment to create a functioning, productive, and secure community of people whose civil liberties and civil rights are protected.
Highlights of our work include:
• Increasing public awareness about why it is important to restore the right to vote to former felons;
• Passing legislation that streamlines the process for former felons to have their right to vote restored;
• Alerting former felons, inmates preparing to complete their sentence, and agencies serving formerly incarcerated individuals, about how former felons can restore have their right to vote restored; and
• Engaging in litigation to remove administrative and legislative barriers preventing former felons from restoring their right to vote.

It was not about Authority when I started to gain ranking but now it is more about authority links and so now I am not anywhere and I am fine with that because that is how Google behaves.
Some webmaster would argue that they are more deserving than some of the result and I don't deny that fact but if you know how ranking is based on... you would say that some of those results deserves more than my link. Again that holds true for many other terms as well where my content is not as good as others but that content has managed to gain better natural links over time

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 1993
Running Time: 74
Director: Scotty Fox
Company: Forbidden Films
Cast: Beatrice Valle, Tom Byron, Randy Spears, Domonique Simone, Josalyn Taylor
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Domonique Simone is a famous actress (and evidently former porn star?) who has had a boob job that the tabloids would just love to have a picture of. Domonique's not quite ready for "prime time", so she hires Randy Spears to be her Booby Guard and make sure no one gets any unauthorized photos of her magnificent mammaries. Unfortunately, this send-up is plagued by lame dialogue, weird shadows all over the place – and bad editing which turns hot sex scenes into routine ones because they keep cutting away from the action just as it really gets going. But a lot of the sexual moments are hot enough to make viewers sweat; the boxcover and title are eye-catching and should help increase sales.

Amazon readies an Android app store
ONLINE BOOKSELLER Amazon is offering developers access to its applications developer store for Android devices, before it launches the apps store that will sell them.
The firm confirmed rumours about its work in the Android applications market in a blog post, saying that the Appstore Developer Portal is a self-service tool that will let software developers - and those working with Android in particular - join its ecosystem and start delivering tools to its millions of customers.
"At Amazon, we start with the customer and work backwards, and we're always looking for ways to improve the customer experience", explained the firm in a blog post, in which it said that rather than confuse the market by adding another store, it was improving it.
"The sheer number of apps available today makes it hard for customers to find high-quality, relevant products - and developers similarly struggle to get their apps noticed," the firm explained.
"Amazon's innovative marketing and merchandising features are designed to help customers find and discover relevant products from our vast selection, and we're excited to apply those capabilities to the apps market segment."
Although other application stores might seem more appealing, the Android apps store itself, for example, Amazon believes that its brand power will sway developers its way, and keep them close to customers.
Features associated with the Appstore Developer Portal include, "Access to tens of millions of active Amazon customers", "Amazon's proven marketing and merchandising features", and the "convenience of using an existing Amazon.com account", which should make it easier for shoppers to spend.
The Apps Store itself will be part of the main Amazon e-commerce website, meaning that shoppers will be able to buy software as easily as they buy books, apparently. However, Amazon has not yet said when it will open this important commercial part of its cunning plan.
For anyone who joins its Appstore Developer Portal now, Amazon will waive the first year's $99 membership fee. µ

Please listen to this video interview with Leonard Peltier and Amy Goodman.
It is now a year later, A good man, a leader among his people still suffers without good cause ... do what you can: write, blog, tweet, send money for lawyers. Thank you. All human beings have certain unalienable rights, and our American Constitution guarantees it. Has to mean something.
As much as I appreciate the truth in Leonard Peltier's personal story, it is much bigger than one man. Native Americans, and other indigenous around the planet, including Mexican Americans, & forcibly transplanted African Americans, have yet to have their 'day in court,' yet the 'civilized' nations around the world talk of their laws, great democracies, their decency and great religions.
Time to walk that talk, if not now soon, or fade into the pages of some real nasty history that none were held accountable for, or are being held accountable for, up to and including Iraq, Afghanistan,and that many, many still profit from!
It is wrong, and the whole planet; all the people who care about a healthy Earth and people, with equal justice under the law, and basic common human rights, are still suffering.
In Leonard's own words;
It is the way of our Native people that we should not take more than we need. It is in the teachings of the Christians, it is in the teaching of the Muslims, and of the Buddhists. It is a basic, fundamental teaching of all the major approaches to spirituality throughout the world that we do not take more than we need. It is also a teaching of my people that when you take from the Earth you must give back something back in return. Mankind has built up a great debt to the Earth, and a great debt to Nature and whether we like it or not or recognize it or not, that debt will be repaid one way or another.

Anti-Erdogan Demo Held in Tel Aviv
Around 100 people took part in a demonstration outside the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv to demand the resignation of Turkish prime minister.
By Arutz Sheva sraff
First Publish: 6/3/2013, 10:03 AM
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Around 100 people took part in a demonstration outside the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv on Sunday to demand the resignation of Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"Erdogan resign", "Democracy for Turkey", chanted the protesters, many of them Israelis of Turkish origin, in the demonstration at which no incidents were reported, the AFP news agency reported.
Turkey has been the scene of demonstrations in dozens of cities nationwide, in the biggest public outcry against Erdogan's government since it assumed power in 2002.
Protests in Taksim Square hit an estimated 10,000 people on Sunday as people again streamed into the area, many waving flags and chanting "victory, victory, victory".

Hunting and Weaving : Empiricism and Political Philosophy
ISBN13:by Heilke, Thomas; Von Heyking, John
St Augustine Pr Inc
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 8/30/2013.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
The essays in this volume honor the work of political scientist and Eric Voegelin scholar, Barry Cooper, by considering how political philosophy (a form of hunting) and empiricism get "woven" together (to borrow a metaphor from Plato). In other words, they consider how science needs to be conducted if it is to remain true to our commonsense experience of the world and to facilitate political judgment. Several of the essays cover Eric Voegelin, including his understanding of consciousness, a comparison of him and Leo Strauss, and his self-understanding as a scholar. Other essays consider terrorism, technology, religion and the modern world, the divided line in Plato's Republic, and the political significance of hope. The volume also includes a number of essays that consider different aspects of Canadian politics, including its strong regionalism, political culture, public law, and the infamous "Calgary School" of political science. These essays are united by the concern that political science must "weave" together political philosophy and empiricism. This task was what Aristotle meant when he characterized political science as a matter of practical wisdom. It is an insight that was also central for Voegelin's restoration of political science in the twentieth century, and that these essays continue into the twenty-first century. Political analysis begins in whatever contemporary crisis the analyst has found himself. The analyst sifts through competing claims of political meaning asserted by the partisans in the crisis. From there he ascends to greater luminosity concerning the human condition by viewing those claims in light of the "major questions in the history of political thought." They inform one another, as the search for order is necessarily the search for order that is conducted by a particular individual's consciousness in the context of a particular community in space and time. This volume will be of special interest to scholars of political philosophy as well as citizens and statesmen interested in how an engagement in the history of political philosophy can facilitate political judgment in particular political circumstances.

As a member of the Human Motion Analysis Laboratory in the Department of Rehabilitation and Movement Science, Dr. Jesse Jacobs investigates the neural mechanisms that underlie human posture and movement, with and without disease or injury. Methods include the use of electroencephalography (EEG) to record movement-related brain activation, electromyography (EMG) to record muscle activation patterns, kinematics to record a person's movement, and kinetics to record the forces produced by a person's movement. Specific populations of interest include people with musculoskeletal injury (low back pain), the elderly, and people with neurological disorders (such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis). In understanding the neural control and dyscontrol of posture and movement, Jesse then seeks to translate knowledge of these sensory-motor control mechanisms to evidence-based diagnostic tests and rehabilitation strategies that target the identified neural impairments of posture and movement in hopes of improving health and independent function. Graduate students who are interested in work with Dr. Jacobs can apply to the doctoral program in the UVM Neuroscience Graduate Program. Dr. Jacobs was a member of the Neuroscience, Behavior and Health (NBH) working group and welcomes transdisciplinary collaborations among students and program faculty.
