SNOWED OUTLast week's Pac-12 dual meet against California, scheduled for Sat., Feb. 8, was 'snowed out' when a winter storm closed the Oregon State campus on Thursday and Friday. The nasty weather continued through the weekend wreaking havoc on the schedules of several OSU athletics teams. Due to other conflicts and a lack of bye weeks on OSU's gymnastics schedule, the meet will not be re-scheduled. Fans with tickets (single meet or season tickets) can exchange them for tickets to future gymnastics meets. In addition, season ticket holders can instead swap their cancelled tickets for women's basketball tickets. Ticket holders should contact the OSU Ticket Office in person or by calling 1-800-GO-BEAVS . WHAT'S NEXT?After four straight weeks at home the Beavers finally return to the road next week when they travel to Salt Lake City to face No. 4 Utah on the Pac-12 Networks.

Utah is 4th, UCLA 9th, Stanford 10th, Oregon State 13th, Arizona 17th, Arizona State 23rd, and California 24th - only Washington is unranked. All eight Pac-12 teams were also ranked in the preseason Top 25. LAST TIME IN ACTIONNo. 16 Oregon State used season-highs on all four events to upset No. 12 Stanford in the Beavers' ninth annual Pink Out, 197.100-195.750. OSU gymnasts "hit" all 24 routines and the floor lineup posted five straight career-best scores to tally 49.475 including a 9.95 from Kelsi Blalock to win the event title. Chelsea Tang notched event wins on beam (9.925) and all-around (39.350) while Erika Aufiero and Brittany Harris tied for meet-high on bars with scores of 9.925. Freshman Kaytianna McMillan set a personal-best on floor with a 9.90 while fellow frosh Madeline Gardiner added career-high 9.875's on beam and floor. WINNER, WINNER ...Chelsea Tang, OSU's only all-arounder so far this season, has three all-around wins in the first four meets ... other Beaver winners are: Erika Aufiero (3), Kelsi Blalock (3), Hannah Casey (1), Brittany Harris (1) and Kaytianna McMillan (1) ... The Beavers have completed 93-96 routines without a fall. Gymnasts without a fall are Tang (16-16), Harris (11-11), Aufiero (8-8), Taylor Keeker (8-8), Madeline Gardiner (7-7), Cerise Witherby (6-6), Hannah Casey (4-4), Katelyn Ohlrich (4-4), Nicole Turner (4-4), Megan Jimenez (3-3) and Jaime Wright (3-3).THAT'S A BIG SCORELast week's 49.475 on the floor exercise is the highest mark the Beavers have tallied on the apparatus since a Feb. 7, 2010 dual at California. In that meet Mandi Rodriguez and Makayla Stambaugh each posted 9.95 marks, while Melanie Jones scored 9.90, Becky Colvin hit for a 9.85 and Olivia Vivian added a 9.825. CLASS ACTIONThrough four meets, Oregon State's routines have been split fairly evenly throughout the squad with the juniors leading the way with 35% (34 out of 96) of the routines performed this year. The seniors are providing 26% (25 of 96), the freshmen 23% (22 of 96) and the sophomores 17% (16 of 96). In comparision, in 2013, the senior class accounted for 53% (151 of 287) of the production while the sophomores provided 23% (65 of 287), the juniors accounted for 18% (53 of 287) and freshmen 6% (18 of 287). CHAPLIN THE RECORD-SETTERHead coach Tanya Chaplin, in her 17th season at OSU, set the school's record for win in the home opener with a 196.425-194.850 decision over Iowa State. It was the 318th victory of Chaplin's career pushing her into sole possession of first on Oregon State's all-time list moving past Jim Turpin (1986-97) at 317 wins. She also holds the school record with 256 regular season wins.WALK-ONS MAKE IMPACTIn Oregon State's season opener walk-ons Hannah Casey, Taylor Keeker and Katelyn Ohlrich made a dramatic impact on the Beavers' lineups. Casey, a senior from Portland, Ore., has played a key role in the OSU bars lineup since her sophomore year mostly filling the lead-off position. This year, Casey has moved to the latter half of the lineup performing in the four-spot where she scored a career-best 9.875 and tied for first earning the first event title of her career ... Ohlrich, a junior from Bend, Ore., joined the beam lineup last year "hitting" all 12 of her routines despite a nagging knee injury that prevented her from training other events. Ohlrich has now solidified herself as a fixture in the middle of the lineup and has scored her career-high of 9.85 on three occasions ... Keeker, a junior from Keizer, Ore., is performing in the competition lineup for the first time in her career. She is lead off for the bars lineup and resides near the end of the vault lineup. Keeker has established season-bests of 9.90 on vault and 9.80 on bars. NEW ROUTINES GALOREThe Beavers entered the season seeking to replace four gymnasts and nine routines - three vault, two bars, two beam, two floor - from the 2013 lineup at the NCAA Regionals last April. Instead head coach Tanya Chaplin slotted in 11 new routines in the season opener at Ohio State. In addition to filling the open slots on vault, bars and beam, the season-opening lineup featured two additional new floor routines for a total of four.SCHEDULING QUIRKOregon State has a quirk in the schedule in 2014 with four straight meets at home. After the Beavers' two season-opening trips to Ohio State and UCLA they have returned to Corvallis for a month with home dates Jan. 25, Feb. 3, Feb. 8 (which was cancelled) and Feb. 15. The Beavers will then have just one more home meet Mar. 1. WHICH WAY DO WE GO?The Beavers, like every other team in the country, have reaching the NCAA Championships and the Super Six as a goal. But to reach that goal teams must get through NCAA Regionals. In 2014, regionals will be held at Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, Minnesota, Penn State and Washington. The top two finishers at each regional will advance to the NCAA Championships.

TUCSON, Ariz. - The Arizona women's golf team has landed a spot in the top five in Golfweek's annual preseason Top 30.
The Wildcats start the year where they finished last season; UA finished fifth in the NCAA Championship a season ago. Arizona won the Pac-10 Championship and NCAA West Regional before its solid finish in the NCAA Championship to skyrocket up the charts. Arizona returns all five starters from that squad.
The Cats are joined in the top five by two other Pac-10 teams; UCLA and USC are second and third, respectively. Defending national champion Purdue is the preseason favorite.
Arizona tees off its fall season Thursday, Sept. 9, in the Topy Cup in Japan.

Sentmore recorded her 1,000th career kills earlier this season.
Oct. 4, 2000
Who knew that a Louisiana high school track star would end up one of the most noted volleyball players in Tulane history? Senior Kim Sentmore has continually improved on her game and pushed herself to a new level each year. Not only has Sentmore excelled on the court, but she is pursuing a personal goal that hits close to home.
Watching Sentmore's All-Conference USA Second Team caliber performance last season, one would think that she had been around volleyball all of her life. However, Sentmore didn't take volleyball too seriously until her junior year in high school, as the two-time Louisiana long jump champion was focused on a track career. After suffering a torn ACL her senior year of high school Sentmore felt volleyball would be a better fit for her.
Sentmore began her collegiate volleyball career at Tulane in 1997. Her role was limited as a freshman, as she played in 21 of the season's 32 matches and recorded only 39 kills. This was a change for the volleyball star out of O. Perry Walker High School in New Orleans who was named the district MVP just one year earlier. The extra time on the bench taught Sentmore valuable lessons.
"Spending a lot of time on the bench my freshman year taught me to overcome adversity, " said Sentmore. "It taught me to be strong mentally. I always played my hardest when I got a chance to play because I never knew when I would come out of the game."
With more time on the court in 1998, the southpaw was able to display her powerful swing and record both personal milestones and school records. She raised her previous year's total of 39 kills to 386, received All-Louisiana Sports Writer Association Second Team honors and tied the school record for digs in a match with 32 against Louisiana-Lafayette. Her first career triple-double was against cross-town rival New Orleans on September 16, of that season.
With each season Sentmore's success on the court continued as the 1999 brought her recognition on all levels. At one point in the season, Sentmore was second in the nation in kills per game, according to the NCAA Division I Volleyball Statistics. She finished the season in 11th averaging 5.74 per game. She recorded 533 kills in 1999, more than 13 times her freshman total. After leading C-USA in kills per game and finishing in third in digs per game (3.899), Sentmore received All-Conference USA Second Team honors.
"When Besty (Becker Ferrer) and her staff came in my junior year they started teaching me different skills," said Sentmore. "Before I was just raw talent and I needed to learn a lot of technical training such as passing and defense and hitting. They taught me how to break things down and they really helped me with my game."
So far this season, Sentmore leads the team with 193 kills, 124 digs and 14 service aces. In the first game of a match with New Orleans, Sentmore notched a kill that made her the sixth player in Tulane history to record 1,000 career kills.
"Besty didn't tell me until two or three days before she thought it was going to happen and I was surprised," Sentmore said. "I don't keep track of stats."
Sentmore also set a career high with 30 kills in that match, the third highest single match total in the program's history.
Sentmore is not only setting records on the court but she is also making an impact on her family's history.
"I don't know if they know it or not but they play a big role in my life," Sentmore said. "They are very supportive and rally around me, but they always tell me that ultimately I make the final decision. When I finish college I will have been the only person in my family to have a college degree."
Sentmore knows that her family wants her to be the best she can be and she thrives on those expectations. They support her in many ways but the most obvious is the small crowd that is in attendance at every home match.
"My mom, my dad my two sisters and all seven of my nephews come to the matches," laughs Sentmore. "They get on to me too. They say 'play some defense!'. I love it."
Thus far this season, the Green Wave has compiled a 7-6 overall record and is 1-2 in Conference USA play. Tulane hosted two tournaments in September, the Kathy Trosclair Invitational, and the Nokia Sugar Bowl Volleyball Classic. After hosting both tournaments the Wave was 5-1, marking its best start since 1994.
Sophomore Lindsey Bennett led the Wave to the Kathy Trosclair Invitational title and was named the tournament MVP for her performance. Tulane swept through the pool of opponents, not dropping a game all weekend. Other Greenies to receive all-tournament honors were Sentmore, Lauren Jones-McClain, Britney Hurst and Jennifer Witte.
In the Nokia Sugar Bowl Volleyball Classic, the Green Wave went 2-1 defeating in state rivals LSU and New Orleans. The three game sweep of LSU was Tulane's first victory over the Tigers since 1996, snapping a six-match Wave losing streak to LSU. In the tournament, Tulane won its third straight against UNO. The Green Wave's only loss of the weekend was to No. 15 Wisconsin.
Tulane also participated in the TCU Volleyball Invitational. The Wave went 1-3 in the tournament with a win over San Francisco. Jones-McClain received all-tournament honors.

Gimme a "S"! Gimme a "T"! Gimme a "Y"! Gimme a "L"! Gimme a "E"! What's that spell?
Ok, no it doesn't. But we weren't English majors (we totally were) so don't expect much. But what we do expect from you as a loyal Outblush readers is that y'all be well versed in the language of back-to-school arts which is why we bring to you A Collegiate Collection: For the Hippie in the California Forest. Any girl should know that college is a place of higher learning (duh) but it's also a place to showcase your fashion chops. You should develop a stronger sense of style along with a strong GPA, never compromising one for the other. You should be the prettiest, smartest co-ed you can possibly be. And with these university must-haves, you'll be on the Outblush Dean's List every semester.
This installment of A Collegiate Collection takes place in the lovely, forested mountains that are your college campus. We won't say exactly where, but imagine an overgrowth of deer, a happy yellow slug for a mascot, lots of hacky sack, and the option to major in History of Consciousness. The object here is to look cute without overdressing. Seeing a high heel on this campus is pretty much the funniest thing on this planet, and getting dressed up means changing out of your pajama jeans and into your actual jeans.
You Don't Have to Get Dressed for Class:
This is a very laid back environment. You'll be fine in pants that barely pass as outside clothes, a comfy tee, a sweatshirt, and flip flops. You don't even really need the flips flops. Plenty of folks here go shoeless. A simple messenger bag will carry your books, papers, and trail mix. This same wardrobe applies for hanging out after class, parties in the dorms, and going to the cafeteria. If you can't stand looking this casual, you can wear jeans.
1 - Motown Women's Distressed Block Zip Hoodie ($10)
2 - Hippie T-Shirt ($19)
3 - Contrast Foldover Yoga Pant ($24)
4 - Reef Mallory Flip Flop ($19)
5 - Steve Madden Bag ($53)
Off-Campus Attire:
Your new forest home is pretty isolated, and if you're living in the dorms, you won't leave campus too much during your first year. If you do, you might want to change out of your sweats. Wear jeans, flats, a tee, and some jewelry. Have one cute (but casual) dress and some fancier flip flops on hand for when that handsome Senior offers to pick you up in his truck and take you out for sushi in town. If you're of legal drinking age, and there are some dance clubs around, you can up the ante a little more with heels and a fancier top, but stick with the jeans. We're still erring on the casual side.
6 - Merona Cardigan ($20)
7 - Caslon Scoop Tee ($14)
8 - Cole Haan Air Tali Mary Jane Ballet ($138)
9 - Aeo Feather Necklace ($16)
10 - Brown Label Jeans ($76)
11 - C & C California 'Mari' tank dress ($58)
12 - Miss Me Women's Zest-1 Flip Flop Sandal ($20)
Game Day:
There are probably not a lot of sports happening at your school, but in case you want to go watch Rugby or the Women's Basketball team, you'll want to invest in something with a school emblem and accessories in coordinating colors.
13 - Under Armour T-Shirt ($35)
14 - American Apparel Tank ($16)
15 - Kenneth Cole New York "Urban Patina" Earrings ($20)
16 - 100% Slug Pinback Button ($1)
Make-up Work:
Your new Hippieland home is not a very made-up place, but if you can't go without, go for a bare look. Try a tinted moisturizer with SPF, sheer lip gloss, and mascara. For nights out, add a shimmery eyeshadow stick and a little blush.
17 - Benefit You Rebel ($30)
18 - Maybeline Shiny-licious Lip Gloss ($4)
19 - Stila Custom Color Blush ($22)
20 - Smashbox Fast Forward Automatic Eye Shadow Stick ($18)
21 - L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Waterproof Mascara ($8)
Go Banana Slugs! ;)

Your scent is your most powerful weapon—to seduce, to make a memory, to mark you as unique—so keep it close with the Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Solid Perfume Necklace ($56). This brass charm necklace is plenty gorgeous, but the wow factor doubles when you open the locket to reveal .04 solid ounces of Gaultier's Classique perfume. With its rich notes of warm vanilla laced with floral orchid, orange flower, Bulgarian rose and iris, this scent fairly screams "woman."
Gorgeous necklace! Similar to these vintage perfume necklaces http://www.perfumejewelrystore.com/vintage-perfume-jewelry-s/22.htm but I think with a more modern approach. Where can I get one?

Collingwood is confident star forward Alan Didak will recover from a groin injury in time to play a meaningful role in the Magpies' push for a second premiership in three years. Didak hobbled off in the opening minute of the Queen's Birthday clash against Melbourne. Scans yesterday revealed he had completely torn the adductor muscle. But Collingwood football manager Geoff Walsh said that was preferable to the adductor injury Didak in the pre-season, which sidelined him for two months. ''With the muscle being completely torn away it will allow a full attachment to take place that will not require surgery,'' he said.

College Hockey:Dickin scores game-winner as North Dakota sweeps Michigan Tech
Robinson stops 35 in loss
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Michigan Tech did all it could to make North Dakota a victim of the upset bug, but the Fighting Sioux prevailed with a gritty 3-1 victory and will move on to the WCHA Final Five tournament in St. Paul as the No. 1 seed.
Taylor Dickin, a freshman forward from Winnipeg, Manitoba who joined UND at midseason, scored the game-winning goal in the second period. With six seconds remaining, senior forward Matt Frattin iced the win for UND with an empty-net tally.
"It's kind of typical of our team," said UND coach Dave Hakstol. "Taylor Dickin, chipping in and helping us to win a hockey game, is a guy who maybe isn't expected to score. He chipped in, it helped us get the lead, and I thought we played a real good third period."
Before 11,689 fans at Ralph Engelstad Arena, the No. 1 ranked Fighting Sioux improved to 28-8-3 while MTU's season ends with a 4-30-4 record.
"I was proud of our effort," said MTU coach Jamie Russell. "It's been a tough year in terms of adversity, and our guys have stuck with it. It's difficult when you've had your teeth kicked in three games in a row. I thought we picked ourselves off the mat and played a pretty good game here tonight against the No. 1 team in the country."
In the first period, the Huskies got something they hadn't had in the previous three meetings between the two teams: a lead. MTU got on the board at 6:15 when defenseman Deron Cousens hit freshman forward Ryan Furne with a cross-ice pass. From the right circle, Furne fired a wrister that beat Sioux sophomore goalie Aaron Dell short side.
UND started applying more pressure and generating good scoring chances, but MTU junior goalie Josh Robinson proved equal to the task. Although the Huskies were outshot 15-9 and had to kill two consecutive UND power plays, the period ended with MTU holding a 1-0 lead.
"We knew it would be this type of game tonight," Hakstol said. "We didn't get off to a great start. Michigan Tech played very well; they played hard."
In the second period, MTU continued to shut down UND's big guns of Frattin and Jason Gregoire, as well as the Sioux power play. However, junior forward Brett Hextall tied it up at 3:33 and Dickin gave the Sioux the lead at 5:34.
Hextall's goal came when the puck deflected in the MTU net off his skate during an attempted wraparound by forward Gregoire. The play was reviewed and the goal stood to make it a 1-1 game.
"I tried to get to the net where the puck was going to be," Hextall said. "I think I swung at it and missed. I was trying to stop at the top of the crease and it hit off my skate."
Russell said he thought the officials made the correct call.
"I watched it in between periods," he explained. "I thought it was a very good call. It did go off his foot, but he was in the stopping motion."
Dickin scored when converted defenseman Joe Gleason fought his way to the front of the MTU net. In the ensuing melee, Dickin found the loose puck and fired it past Robinson to give UND a 2-1 lead with his first collegiate goal.
"The first period wasn't what we wanted it to be, but we ground out a couple of ugly goals in the second period to get a lead," Hakstol said.
Both teams had quality scoring chances in the second and third periods, forcing Dell and Robinson to make big saves, but the Huskies couldn't get the equalizer.
"A big part of that is how desperate North Dakota plays to score goals in front of the net," Russell said. "They compete like men. Tonight, we matched that. We got the game down to a bounce one way or the other."
MTU pulled Robinson with about a minute to play. The game wasn't decided until Frattin stole the puck at the red line and scored his nation-leading 33rd goal of the season to give the Sioux the 3-1 win.
After playing the Sioux four games in a row in which MTU was outscored 28-4, Russell gave his impression of UND: "I think that's just a tremendous hockey team," he said. "Their first two lines are outstanding; their third and fourth lines know their role and play it to a 'T.'
"They're very good on the power play; their penalty kill, they don't give you a whole lot," he continued. "They're good on transition; they're really good on the cycle. They get good goaltending. I think the coaching staff has done an amazing job with a veteran team."
After the game, WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod was on hand to present UND with the MacNaughton Cup, the trophy given to the regular season champion. The Sioux had wrapped up the title on the road at MTU the previous weekend, but elected not to celebrate until after they'd punched their ticket to St. Paul. Superstitiously, the team also decided not to touch the cup.
"Our eyes are on the big picture," explained Sioux senior defenseman Derrick LaPoint. "This is a great accomplishment for our team, but we've got more important things to accomplish."
Following the presentation, UND's seven seniors skated around the ice and gave a stick salute to Sioux fans.
"They're a special group," Hakstol said. "They're a great group of individuals, and collectively a tremendous senior class."
"It's a great tournament; it's an exciting time of year," Hakstol said. "It's so fun with all the Sioux fans that are there. It's a work week for us, but it's a work week we'll really enjoy."

Arizona head sand volleyball coach Steve Walker took time away from his busy schedule to answer some questions about the start-up program.
How did the addition of sand come about at U of A? How long had it been in discussion and why this year?
Almost two years ago now members of our department, our internal gender equity committee had their five-year committee meeting. After a thorough review it was clear it was best to add a women's sport. The next step was which sport? The committee presented the project to the NCAA group and then last summer, presented to our athletics director Greg Byrne and our senior staff on why sand was the best fit. The department felt with the rapid growth of sand volleyball, our location and strong indoor program that the timing was appropriate to move forward and add it as a varsity sport.
Why did you want to take the helm of this program?
I've always been passionate about the beach game, having grown up in southern California and cut my teeth as a beach player on the coast in the mid to late 90's. The elements of sand volleyball are what excite me most about coaching in general. It's a sport where all of your skills are on display (weaknesses exposed) and you must work extremely hard to develop your all-around game to enjoy even the slightest level of success. I consider myself a leader first and foremost and have always preferred to be the one making hard decisions, be it as a player or coach. This was an opportunity to be in a leadership position at an amazing institution, who has had just outstanding athletic achievement in both men's and women's athletics. Having been all over this country as a coach, the University of Arizona has always been my favorite place of employment and I couldn't be more excited for this opportunity.
What are the first steps from your perspective in building a sand program like this from the ground up?
I'm looking at this as a start-up and what is most important to me is to surround myself and the incumbent players (current indoor players) with the type of coaching staff, support staff and incoming players that will best represent this university, athletics department and community. There will be a signing period this April and I plan to bring in a recruiting class that will be as excited as I am for this opportunity.
What is your vision of this program in five years?
Any time you associate the word "volleyball" with Pac-12, the expectations have to be that of the highest variety. The plan and hope is to have both the indoor and outdoor programs contending on the highest national platform.
What are the major obstacles in getting this program off the ground, i.e. facilities, recruiting, etc.?
So far from a recruiting standpoint helping to educate club and high school coaches on the potential sand opportunities for their players; trying to ensure them that time spent developing their players on the sand game will benefit their programs (as it's almost a certainty that within a few years this will be a certified NCAA championship). We plan on having a great on campus facility, near the McKale Center that will provide a great venue for such a fan friendly sport.

The KTVU Channel 2 morning news reported that Thomas Burnoski was back in court for a prehearing conference Monday, July 21. His involvement in a tragedy in Holly Park was outlined the same day in the San Francisco Examiner.
What is known and what is presumed are sometimes not the same things. A good examination begins with the former, and it is a short list. However, no examination is legitimate without transparency.
Normally, a footnote at the bottom of this piece would note a connection with Burnoski, disclosing a conflict of interest. It would be stated impersonally, as proper journalism calls for reporters (not necessarily columnists) to avoid first-person writing.
This is not a normal situation. Burnoski and his family are long-standing members of Shiloh Church in Oakland, where I am a deacon.
We have never had contact outside of church or church functions. "Tom" as I know him was of course unable to speak with me about details of his case because it is pending, so there is no inside information. Nevertheless, our prior relationship is why it is imperative I stick to the facts.
Burnoski is a 58-year old was a seven-year veteran of the San Francisco Parks Department and had gotten some recognition for his work. He was involved in an incident in Holly Park Sept. 5, 2013 in which Christine Svanemyer was killed while sunbathing. He was not at the scene at the time of his arrest, but was at a nearby park location. He has been charged with felony hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter and faces up to more than a decade in prison.
It is very easy to rush to judgment in these cases. Christianity teaches us not to in countless scriptures, just as they teach us forgiveness.
Some described Burnoski as fleeing from the scene, but he had driven to a nearby location and met with his supervisor. One comment on an article linked him to the problem of liberalism of San Francisco, but that is not a term that one would use to describe him. There is an eyewitness account the he drove in a prohibited area where the accident occurred, but San Francisco Examiner even noted his attorney said his client swerved to miss an unleashed dog.
Ms. Svanemyer was at the park with her dog (it is unknown whether that was the dog in question or whether it was unleashed) and 11-month old daughter, neither of which was hurt. A San Jose Mercury News story about her mentioned she was just 35, a Zen monk and director of enrollment at New Ventures West, a San Francisco-based school that trains life coaches where her husband also worked.
Burnoski has of course publicly stated he feels terrible about the tragedy. He actually understands it better than most, as this was not the only car accident to happen in his family just between April and October of 2013.
Tom's 20-year old daughter Tiffany died last April after the driver fell asleep at the wheel. Then ironically while coming from one of his father's court appearances, Jonathan Burnoski was involved in an incident for which he was initially received a hit-and-run charge. A San Francisco Examiner report stated a bicyclist impacted the vehicle after the 19-year old driver made a right turn, but thankfully no one was hurt.
The fact that one family can have three separate members involved in car accidents in just over half a year is remarkable enough. To have none of them to blame in one and two resulting in deaths is extraordinary. It also reminds us of the dangers of driving and the tragedy that can result from mistakes behind the wheel.
Do not drive if you are drowsy. Remember the mirrors have blind spots, so look over your shoulder. If there is any chance you struck something or something struck you, stop. Do not text or use phone functions while driving and make sure you can hear what is around you. Stay in safe areas as much as is possible and remember you control a deadly machine.
Finally, this family's accidents teach us of the fragility of life and how little we control. Tell your loved ones how important they are in case you do not get another chance. Appreciate what you have in this life but keep your heart fixed on the eternal things of God.
Note: San Francisco Examiner and SF Christian Examiner are not affiliated, though the same parent company eventually bought both publications.

Mia Schachter finished second in the 50 free and helped the 400 medley relay team set a school record in day one of the Phill Hansel Invitational.
Nov. 21, 2013
Results From Day 1 Of The Phill Hansel Invitational In PDF Format
HOUSTON - The quartet of Elizabeth Cook, Joy Jason, Amy Needham and Mia Schachter set a school record in the 400 medley relay and Schachter added a second-place finish in the 50 free as the Tulane University women's swimming and diving team enjoyed a solid opening day of the Phill Hansel Invitational on Thursday at the University of Houston's Campus Recreation and Wellness Center.
The 400 medley relay team surpassed the former mark of 3:45.25 previously established by Cook, Schachter, Kayla Alf-Huynh and Kristine Gu at last year's Conference USA Championship. Schachter, meanwhile, clocked a lifetime-best 23.19 en route to her runner-up showing in the 50 free - the third best individual time and eight-fastest overall mark in Tulane history.
Through six events, the Green Wave sit fourth among the seven participating teams with 151 points. Tulane holds a three-point advantage over fifth-placed New Mexico State and are 47 behind third-placed Houston. Rice leads the team standings with 339 points and holds a 139-point advantage on Idaho. North Texas and Cal State Fresno round out the standings with 130 and 31 points, respectively.
"I could not be more pleased and excited about the team tonight," first-year Tulane head coach Katie Robinson said. "We came off a strong morning preliminary session with a total of eight swims that were lifetime bests. Tonight, these women showed their true colors by fighting tough to achieve seven more lifetime bests in finals. The swim of the night came at the end of the session when we broke the school record in the 400 medley relay."
The Green Wave opened the competition with a solid performance in the 200 free relay as Amy Needham, Jonna Frantz, Cari Caprio and Schachter combined to post a season-best 1:34.72 to finish seventh overall. The time was the sixth-best in Tulane history.
Rachel Schneider and Roni Meyers added their names to the Tulane record books in the 500 free with respective times of 4:58.20 and 4:59.27. Both were lifetime-best performances with Schneider's mark standing as the No. 4 individual time and No. 8 overall time in Green Wave history while Meyer's mark was seventh individually and 15th overall in the school's annals.
Freshmen Ellie Sills and Joy Jason followed suit in the 200 IM as Sills tallied the No. 5 individual and No. 10 overall time in school history with a 2:07.31 while Jason logged the No. 6 individual and No. 14 overall mark at 2:07.76. In addition to Schachter's performance in the 50 free, Frantz added a top-10 finish in the event with a lifetime-best 23.19 - the No. 6 individual showing ever by a Tulane swimmer.
In diving action, both Lauren Arnold and Maren Kjell posted scores in the three-meter springboard that got them in the Tulane record book as well as Arnold's 253.70 is sixth all-time while Kjell's 239.60 sits 14th.
And while Tulane's "A" 400 medley relay team set a school record, the "B" unit of Vanessa Loewen, Claire Schelske, Sills and Frantz clocked a 3:53.98 - a mark that sits 10th in Tulane history.
"We've worked hard for this and it all came together tonight," Robinson said. "I don't know that I've ever had so much fun at a meet. I couldn't be more proud. Now, the next test for us is to rest up tonight so that we are sharp tomorrow. The best teams know how to do that and I'm excited to see what tomorrow brings for the Tulane Green Wave."
The Phill Hansel Invitational continues on Friday when the seven participating teams will square off in the 200 medley relay, 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 free, 100 breast, 100 back, 800 free relay and one-meter springboard. From there, the event will conclude on Saturday with the 1650 free, 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast, 200 fly, 400free relay and platform diving.
Following the weekend, the Green Wave will enjoy some time away from outside competition before returning to action on Jan. 10 when they travel to the West Coast to take on San Diego State.

CLEVELAND – The Browns retained their lead – barely.
After an ugly third quarter, Cleveland led Carolina 21-20 with 15 minutes left.
The solid first half by Jake Delhomme quickly became a distant memory when he threw two interceptions in the third quarter. One was returned 37 yards for a touchdown by Carolina's Captain Munnerlyn, cutting the lead to a point.
Delhomme opened the second half with a pass over the middle for Brian Robiskie. Middle linebacker Jon Beason dropped into coverage and snatched the throw. John Kasay missed a 46-yard field goal wide right to let Delhomme off the hook.
He failed to take advantage of the break.
On the ensuing possession, Delhomme had extra time in the pocket and chose to throw late toward the sideline for Mohamed Massaquoi. Munnerlyn stepped in front and cruised down the sideline.
The Browns avoided further disaster when Clifton Smith replaced Joshua Cribbs for a kickoff return and fumbled. The Browns recovered.
Cribbs, who's clearly affected by an injured foot, went back in to return the next punt.
The Browns opened the fourth quarter with the ball after Eric Norwood ran into Browns punter Reggie Hodges, giving them a first down.

Are they small enough to really be a pocket gun?

Are they small enough to really be a pocket gun?
Nope.- unless you're a really big guy.
The word is GREAT I had a post about the p-11 a long time ago.
I'd pass on the Kel-Tech and pick up a Ruger SR9c instead. Superior weapon in every way.
A P11 was my second carry gun I ever bought. It goes well with my 6946 because they can use the same 59xx or 69xx mags in them.
Not going to win a long range shooting contest with them but mine has never failed to fire and cycle any rounds.

iSpeech presenting at the Mobile Voice Conference.
Our CEO, Heath Ahrens, was presenting this week at this year's Mobile Voice Conference in San Francisco, CA. His presentation was part of the "Mobile speech interfaces: Alternatives and effective design"-block of presentations. Specifically, Heath presented on the topic of 'Taking speech mainstream: Bringing it to the mobile development community'.
Considering how many partnerships iSpeech has formed with mobile application developers enabling them to use speech in their applications, Heath was able to share our experience in this field with the attendees of the conference.
The Mobile Voice Conference is co-organized by the Applied Voice Input Output Society (AVIOS) and Bill Meisel (President, TMA Associates). The conference is unlike most conferences in that it is a very small and very focused conference. In their own words the organisers describe it as
The conference is a small, limited-attendance event without an exhibit hall. It's small size attracts industry leaders and top speakers that want to interact with their peers and hear talks with significant, practical, and insightful content that goes well beyond the usual sales pitches.

I've install Ubuntu 12.04 on my Windows 7 Dell laptop. Recently I discovered that I'm running out of space on my Ubuntu partition, and I would like to enlarge it.
Is it safe to resize partitions while they're in use e.g. when I'm logged into Ubuntu? If so, I've ran into this problem when I run GParted: It seems as if my hard drive is one big, NTFS partition, like the Ubuntu partition doesn't exist.
Is it possible Ubuntu runs off the NTFS partition, sharing it with Windows? What should I do?

Sample these Author Profiles and Stories Behind the Stories, then follow the links to the full interviews.
"I have to say it became a rather bigger affair than I intended, but in a way it's my favorite book; an homage to old Florida, to noir writing, and to young love."
—on THE POSTCARD (MG)
"I put the manuscript into my file drawer after two years of rejections."
— on SARA'S CITY (PB)
"I visited City Hall, the Capitol, the sculpture garden, Mount Bonnell, Barton Springs, the Congress Bridge. There are slight deviations from those places, but for the most part they are recognizable."
—on THE PIED PIPER OF AUSTIN (PB)
"The biggest challenge was reformatting the story from a traditional chapter book into the wacky format it ended up in. My editor told me I had to cut the word count from 7000 words to 4000, but the story was pretty lean to begin with and there just wasn't a lot of room for cuts."
—on the ZACK PROTON series (CB)
"Watching my grandmother lose her independence to Alzheimer's has been incredibly painful. Writing Trudy was a way for me to release the grief I felt and to also remember the happy and funny times together."
—on TRUDY (YA)
"I spent a great deal of time in a bathyscaphe, of course, doing research, and taped hours of interviews with dolorous, even bitter, whale/human hybrids."
— on WHALES ON STILTS (MG)
"I did have one moment of absolute panic, though, when Susan called and said I had to kill the 'teacher-ly or academic' introduction I had originally written. She asked for my own turning point story. My first reaction was to tell Susan, 'No one reads introductions anyway.' In the end, I wrote a true story about how, as a truly insecure and dorky teen and the sister of one of the beautiful girls, I was set up to believe I had actually captured the attention of one of the beautiful guys only to learn the beautiful girls had paid him five dollars to kiss me."
— on SUCH A PRETTY FACE:
"I have to say, coming up with those 60 pages was hard. I was working on them right up to the deadline, and I think the last 45 of those 60 pages were pretty awful. And the first 15 were only a step above awful."
—on THE UNDERNEATH (MG)
"Our toddler years and our teen years are perhaps the most 'passionate' times in our whole lives. At no other times do we yearn so much for things like independence, acceptance, responsibility, freedom, justice, all those things."
— on KISSING TENNESSEE (YA)
"Okay, so Allyn bought it, and I'm feeling really smug. Then I had to completely rewrite it."
— on THE ALLEY CAT'S MEOW (PB)
Kathi also shares insights behind: COWBOY DREAMS (PB); DOWN CUT SHIN CREEK (PB); MY FATHER'S HOUSE (PB); and BAYOU LULLABY (PB). See also Kathi's interview with Joy Fisher Hein on MISS LADY BIRD'S WILDFLOWERS (PB).
"When I realized this story needed a teenage protagonist, I balked and it was a long time before I could bring myself to seriously consider writing it. I write first-person, meaning I don't just need to get into my narrator's head, but take on her voice. I'm...a little ways from being 15. I have a daughter that age, and there's nothing better than that to make you realize how far removed you are from an age group!"
—on THE SUMMONING (YA)
"For one thing, I did ask myself a simple question: why did the Brits send the tea that the Americans tossed into Boston harbor? I had never read anything about that, their motivation. The answer did transform how I saw American history."
— on THE
"I asked myself: who was today's Hester Prynne? In today's young adult world, what is the most unforgivable crime? I decided that vehicular manslaughter — especially driving under the influence of alcohol — was something a community would have a hard time forgiving. The 'A' was his wheelchair."
—on HEAD CASE (YA)
"Before selling this book, I'd won a lot of awards (a free trip to New York to meet with editors, a work-in-progress grant, etc...), and I suppose I got my hopes up a few too many times. In fact, I almost quit writing about nine months before this book sold. I started questioning whether there was some other creative outlet out there for me."
—on THIRTEEN REASONS WHY (YA)
"I heard Peter Jennings say, 'The polar icecap is melting!' but I [also] heard, 'The sky is falling!' and there was the whole book."
— on LOONY LITTLE (PB)
"Egg is one of those books remarkable for the collaboration that produced it. I think of Victoria as the conductor, melding the talents of writer, artist, designer, calligrapher, and others into a lyrical tribute to eggs--and that's just the creation of the actual book."
—on AN EGG IS QUIET (PB)
"As for the process, with nonfiction or historical fiction, the pattern is the same. Curiosity, observation, research, revision, revision, revision."
--on A BUTTERFLY IS PATIENT (PB)

Hydrogenated Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Trans Fats)
Trans fats is one food item that every person should avoid. These fats are not beneficial in any form and they are not necessary for any reason biochemically. Avoidance of these fats is the one thing that anybody can do and it has the most widespread benefits.
Hydrogenated fats are, by definition, a poison, as even in a small amount they will induce a chemical reaction that may cause damage to structure or disturbance of function, producing symptomatology, illness, or death. These fats do not exist in nature (with the exception of a very small, irrelevant amount found naturally in cow milk). They are processed from naturally occurring fats and oils by converting the natural "cis" form of the fat into a "trans" form. This is done by bubbling hydrogen gas into the oil at very high temperatures.
Trans fats alter the configuration of cell membranes and they block important enzymes that are necessary for the metabolism of fats. Your body can metabolize half of a "cis" fat in 18 days. Yet it takes your body 51 days to metabolize just half of a hydrogenated fat. Do the math…after 102 days, there is still 25% left for your body to deal with.
Trans fats block the production of Type 1 and 3 prostaglandins (PG), which are derived from the omega 6 and omega 3 fats respectfully. These prostaglandins will help you fight inflammation as well as benefit your hormonal and nervous system. They do not, however, block the Type 2 prostaglandins which are derived from dairy, red meat, and shellfish. These fats increase inflammation. So you can see now how a diet high in saturated (PG2) and hydrogenated fats not only increases inflammation themselves, but they block the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, further promoting inflammation. That's a lot of inflammation!
Daily, nagging symptoms are many times provoked, if not caused by trans fats. This includes but is definitely not limited to headaches, PMS, hot flashes, skin problems, asthma, arthritis, and joint pain – as well as chronic diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks, and strokes.
NSAIDs – the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – work by blocking all PG production. Avoidance of trans fats and consumption of natural omega 3 & 6 fats usually turn around the everyday nagging symptoms in less than a month. If you ever achieve symptom relief from taking any NSAID, whether from an aspirin or ibuprofen, or a big player in today's market such as the Cox-2 inhibitors Vioxx or Celebrex, it is almost certain that you have a fatty acid imbalance. That is how these drugs work. You don't have a deficiency of them; I'm sure of that.
Read the ingredients. Since trans fats do not exist in nature you don't have to worry about getting them in whole foods such as meats, vegetables, fruits, etc. It's the breads, cookies, pastries, crackers, and packaged foods you've got to look out for. You'll find it even in foods labeled "fat free". It doesn't matter if it's the first ingredient listed or the last and it has no relationship to the grams of fat listed on the box. Always use pure butter, never margarine. That will end the "heart-healthy" cholesterol debate. Trans fats are one of the worst, if not the worst, things for your heart and cholesterol level. You usually won't find hydrogenated fats in sugary, chocolate things – they're in the breaded/creamy stuff most often. But that is a generalization, so read all the ingredients. The only place you'll most likely get hydrogenated fat and it won't be in the ingredients is when something is deep-fried. Deep-frying almost always contains partially hydrogenated fats. However, [non-hydrogenated] vegetable oils that are heated to such high temperatures are extremely unhealthy regardless of whether they are trans fat free. The chemical acrylamide is produced during the frying process (as well as by other means). This chemical has been identified as a neurotoxin and has been linked with certain cancers.
Enjoy cleaning out your kitchen. Remember, you'll say, "This stuff is in everything." That is what everybody initially says. But it's just that it's in everything you eat. There are many alternatives today. For the occasional junk food – go to a health food store. Once you change your diet, it won't be in anything.
So how do you know if your product contains trans (hydrogenated) fats? Simple: Search the ingredients list for the words:
- hydrogenated
- partially hydrogenated (such as "partially hydrogenated soybean oil")
- shortening
- margarine
- mono or diglycerides
Oils To Use:
- Coconut oil, real butter, and even organic lard for cooking
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil either added to food after it is prepared or for cooking at <325 F – at least 1 TB per day
- Unrefined Sesame Seed Oil also added to food after it is prepared – a few TBs per week (Never heat it!)

love this website!! i am constantly harrassed about my healthy eating at work, they are told by the "nutritionist/dietician" that coconut oil is a saturated fat and not to eat it, and margarine…non hydrogenated, is much healthier than butter. i will have you as my backup argument!!
Rachel permalink
Thanks so much for the info. So glad I found this site. Extremely helpful. I noticed, after looking into your suggestions of the different terms used, for the fats to cut out that, that E471 is another way of saying mono -and diglycerides of fatty acids, and I cannot believe how many foods include this, i.e. a shop bought sandwich, that I might have eaten on any travels ( before I started to avoid wheat anyway). Also, I think I am right in saying that, anything which says it includes vegetable oil would be good to stop having ? Or is this okay in small doses(once in a blue moon).
Sorry forgot to add, also emulsifier. I find it amazing that two food products made, can be similar to look at, one being relatively healthy and the other including surreptitious little ingredients which are 'hidden' in there but render the product totally unhealthy.
Diane Groves permalink
I am on low-cholesterol diet. Am told to avoid coconut oil. I have another question. My Crisco all-vegetable shortening has partially hydrogenated palm and soybean oil and also mono & diglycerides. But under transfat category, it says 0. How can this be?
Kevin permalink
If saturated fat is prostaglandin2 and it is inflammatory, then coconut oil is almost entirely saturated fat. Am I missing something with association of it being a healthy oil. Your chart on another page shows it having more saturated fat than any other oil. I found a study on another website showing prostaglandin2 on scalps of balding men. That suggests a link between inflammation and balding.
Jason Block permalink
"They are processed from naturally occurring fats and oils by converting the natural "cis" form of the fat into a "trans" form."
By saturating the double bond with hydrogen, there is no longer any cis or trans relationship between the neighboring hydrogens anymore.
That is to say, you are not converting the "cis" form to the "trans" form, you are simply reducing a double bond.

I am a 60-yr. old woman. I went through menopause about 10 or 11 yrs. ago. I had horrible hot flashes during that period. They eased up by 2005, and I only had them infrequently. Lately, I have had bad hot flashes throughout the day, everyday. I sweat quite a bit and, of course, they're uncomfortable. I get them primarily in the afternoon-evening, but also upon wakening most days. My Internal Medicine (primary) doctor has told me that they are still caused by menopause. (12 yrs later??) I also get a headache almost every evening. I'm wondering if these symptoms could be caused by my diet, or possibly by an ill-functioning organ. I have Hepatitis C, and gall stones. I don't consume any alcohol at all. I take Ibuprofen often for the headaches. I am a sugar junkie—I eat non-chocolate candy, and lots of home-baked desserts (from mixes). and lots of carbs from sweetened crackers like grahams). Most of the food I eat is eaten after 4pm—I rarely eat anything before then, except candy or cookie-crackers. Could any of these things be my problem, or do you have any input for me regarding these hot flashes? Thanks!

I have a question about using coconut oil for cooking. I recently changed my cooking oil from olive oil to coconut 4 months ago and I noticed my total cholestrol went up from 170 to 238. I can't think of any other cha ge since I was eating healthy and walking for an hour every day. It freaked me out so much that I shifted back to olive oil again. Any suggestions as to which oil to use?
Sreedevi permalink
Thank you for your reply. My HDL levels did not raise after using coconut oil. They stayed pretty much the same as before (49). It is the total cholesterol and LDL which spiked up a lot. TC-233 & LDL-168 & Triglycerides -79. I read your article about coconut oil just yesterday and I read about the benefits of using coconut oil for cooking, especially if your cooking involves lot of heating up which it does for me, so I made the switch. But it is very confusing now that I see the numbers go up so soon. I am not really comfortable with using olive oil ( not extra virgin, just regular one from Costco) for cooking but the other choice backfired. I would very much appreciate if you could provide your insight in this issue. Thank you.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Alabama-Huntsville scored six goals in the second period and cruised to a 6-3 win over Air Force in a College Hockey America conference game at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Ala.
UAH swept the two-game series and improved to 8-7-1 overall and 4-2 in the CHA. Air Force fell to 4-11-1 overall and 2-4 in the CHA.
After a scoreless first period, UAH erupted for six goals in the second period. The Falcons out-shot the Chargers, 20-11, in the second period, but found themselves behind, 6-2, as eight goals were scored in 20 minutes.
The Chargers scored two goals in a span of 26 seconds to open the scoring. The first goal came at the 3:08 mark when Kevin Galerno walked the puck out from behind the net and went high to the short side to beat Falcon goalie Ian Harper. Josh Murray also assisted on the play.
Just 26 seconds later, the Chargers took a 2-0 lead on Chris Martini's goal. Martini sent a pass into the crease that hit an Air Force player and went into the open net on the far side. UAH took a 3-0 lead at the 5:20 mark as Derek Conter scored on a rebound. Following the goal, Harper was pulled from the net in favor of Peter Foster. AFA finally got on the board at the 6:05 mark as Michael Mayra scored his first career goal. Mike Phillipich and Matt Charbonneau assisted on the goal that came from the left hash mark to make the score 3-1.
Shortly after the goal, Air Force went on the power play. The Falcons had five shots on the advantage, but failed to score. As soon as the power play ended, the Chargers started a 3-on-2 rush up the ice. Brett McConnachie made a pass in the slot to David Nimmo who one-timed it past Foster at the 8:48 mark.
After the Falcons' first penalty of the game, the Chargers took a 5-1 lead. The Chargers won a faceoff in the offensive end and Shaun Arvai's shot from the point found the back of the net. Following the goal, Foster was pulled from the net and replaced from Harper.
One minute later, the Chargers struck again and took a 6-1 lead. On a two-on-two rush, Dominik Rozman's centering pass deflected off the skate of UAH center Grant Selinger and into the net.
With five minutes remaining in the period, UAH was whistled for two penalties on the same play and the Falcons had two minutes of a 5-on-3 advantage. Ninety seconds into the power play, the Falcons put together a series of passes that led to Andrew Ramsey's fourth goal of the season at the 16:22 mark. Mayra made a pass down low to Eric Ehn on the doorstep. Ehn slid the puck across the crease to Ramsey who was alone by the right post.
Late in the third period, AFA cut the margin to three goals as Brian Gineo scored on the power play. His fourth of the season came from Matt Charbonneau and Josh Schaffer. Schaffer won the faceoff in the offensive end and got the puck back to Charbonneau. Charbonneau tipped it to Gineo at the point whose slap shot beat Scott Munroe.
AFA out-shot UAH, 34-21, in the game. Munroe earned the win as he made 31 saves for the Chargers. Foster, who played just over four minutes, took the loss as he came on in relief of Harper and then gave up the eventual game-winner. Foster did not make a save but allowed two goals. Harper allowed four goals and had 15 saves. The Falcons were 2-for-7 on the power play while UAH was 1-for-3.
Air Force returns home to host conference for Niagara, Friday-Saturday, Jan. 13-14, at the Cadet Ice Arena.
